Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Yun Zhen’s Luck Is Really Good!

Yun Zhen did not accept Brother Yang’s red envelope. After the pork incident, she clearly felt that Brother Yang and Sister-in-law Yang had grown a bit closer to her, even as they pitied her.

In the afternoon.

While working at Sister-in-law Liu’s vegetable stall, she gave the last bag of pork in her hands to Sister-in-law Liu. "Sister-in-law Liu, I entered a lucky draw at the newly opened supermarket and won two hundred catties of pork. I sold the rest, but this is specially saved for you. You must accept it as my thanks for taking care of me these past few days."

Sister-in-law Liu was in disbelief at first. "You won two hundred catties of pork in a lucky draw at the new supermarket? Your luck is too good!" She then continued, "But I won’t accept the meat; keep it for yourself to eat. I understand your intentions. You’re a good girl who knows how to repay kindness."

Yun Zhen shoved the meat into her hands. "Sister-in-law Liu, just take it. You’ve been saving vegetable leaves for me these past few days. It’s only fair to return the favor; I won a big prize, so let me treat you to some pork."

Li Mei advised from the side, "Sister-in-law Liu, you should just accept it. If you don’t, Yun Zhen will feel too embarrassed to take the vegetable leaves in the future. You know this girl is thin-skinned."

Yun Zhen looked a little disappointed. "That’s right, Sister-in-law Liu. If you don’t accept it, I won’t take the vegetable leaves anymore."

Sister-in-law Liu sighed and smiled helplessly. "Alright, I’ll take the meat."

Yun Zhen and Li Mei smiled at each other.

Li Mei couldn’t help but say, "Let me tell you, Sister-in-law Liu, Yun Zhen’s luck is incredibly good. Not only did she win two hundred catties of pork, but she also helped me win a Jiutian soy milk maker. It costs several hundred bucks to buy on the official website. I just spent ten yuan yesterday, and Yun Zhen won it for me!" She smiled very happily.

Sister-in-law Liu was full of regret. "If I had known Yun Zhen’s luck was this good, I would have gone with you guys. It seems I just don’t have the fate to win prizes."

"I originally took a shortcut yesterday to walk Yun Zhen home, but on the way, I happened to hear someone mention that the new supermarket was holding an opening event," Li Mei said. "I thought we’d go join the fun and buy some discounted items while we were at it. Who could have imagined such good luck? I had Yun Zhen draw a prize for me, and she won a third prize, whereas I didn’t win anything when I drew for myself!

"Yun Zhen won twice! Once was a second prize, and the other was a third prize. Comparing yourself to others will only make you mad; we simply don’t have that kind of good luck!" Speaking of the prize drawing, Li Mei once again marveled at Yun Zhen’s lucky hand.

"It seems I’ll have to interact with Yun Zhen more in the future and rub off some of her good luck!" Sister-in-law Liu laughed heartily.

The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and Yun Zhen was also very happy. Winning the lottery once had not only helped the kind-hearted Li Mei get what she wanted but also secured over a hundred catties of big, fat pork for her village.

After work.

Yun Zhen received her wages and had arranged to meet Sister Huang to go to the flea market and sell bedding. She didn’t want to sell the bedding, as her village was in desperate need of it. She had to come up with an excuse to keep it for now.

At six o’clock.

Sister Huang was waiting for her at the usual spot right on time, with bag after bag of bedding loaded onto her vehicle. She had packed up the blankets and quilts left behind by previous tenants who had moved out, intending to sell them at the flea market and give the money to Yun Zhen.

Seeing Sister Huang’s electric tricycle from afar, with the bags of bedding squeezing the carriage to the point of being overwhelmed, Yun Zhen asked in surprise, "Sister Huang! Why is there so much bedding? You didn’t move your whole house here, did you?"

Huang Li laughed heartily. "Yun Zhen, you’re even making jokes now! Good, good, good. Just stay this lively and cheerful from now on."

Pointing to the bulging bags of bedding in the carriage, she told her, "There are eight sets of bedding here, some expensive and some cheap, as well as six Raschel blankets. They haven’t been used many times. They were all left behind by tenants who couldn’t take them away and asked me to throw them out. In the past, if I threw them away, someone would pick them up to make a bed for their dog, or sell them to the flea market. A quilt worth hundreds or even over a thousand bucks can still sell for a few dozen.

"I find it bothersome, and since you happen to need them, I packed them all up for you. If I get more in the future, I’ll contact you again. You can sell these quilts to the flea market. One quilt goes for at least forty bucks, so eight quilts are three hundred and twenty bucks. One Raschel blanket sells for ten bucks, so six are sixty bucks. If you sell all the bedding and blankets, you can get three hundred and eighty bucks."

Yun Zhen truly didn’t know how to thank her. Her voice was choked with emotion. "Sister Huang, thank you!"

With this bedding, the elderly and children in her village would all be able to survive. She was deeply moved. Sister Huang alone had saved their entire village.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Huang Li felt anxious and hurriedly said, "You’re too easily moved, child. Alright, let’s go to the flea market right now and sell everything."

Yun Zhen snapped wide awake. Sell them! How could she? She asked, "If we sell these things, will other people buy them to take home?"

Huang Li nodded. "Of course. Migrant workers who have just arrived don’t have much money on them, so they go to the flea market to Amazom. A quilt like this costs seven or eight hundred bucks in a store, but the flea market boss collects it for forty or fifty and sells it for one tael hundred bucks."

A brand-new quilt cost seven or eight hundred bucks, and the flea market would buy it for forty or fifty, then sell it for one tael hundred. Yun Zhen had originally thought about selling them first and buying them back later, but hearing Sister Huang’s words, she felt it wasn’t worth the cost. The bedding could not be sold!

Yun Zhen got onto Sister Huang’s electric tricycle, and they headed all the way toward the flea market, which was right behind the residential compound where she lived.

Passing the compound gate, she suddenly spoke up. "Sister Huang, how about we don’t sell the bedding and blankets for now?"

Huang Li asked in confusion, "Why not?"

Yun Zhen’s mind raced as she said, "I just sold the pork and have over three thousand bucks on me. I hid all the money in my dorm, but I feel a little uneasy. I want to wait until I’ve spent most of the money before selling the bedding and blankets."

Huang Li instantly understood. She figured this was the first time Yun Zhen had held such a large sum of money, making her worried about losing her newfound wealth. She was afraid the money might get stolen in the dorm, or that she might spend it all recklessly, so she wanted to keep the bedding for emergencies. She understood; she completely understood.

Yun Zhen had no idea that her clumsy excuse had caused Huang Li to think so much.

Huang Li thought for a moment and said, "I’ll take the bedding and blankets back home first. Whenever you’ve spent most of your money, have the agency staff contact me, and I’ll bring the things to the flea market to sell."

Yun Zhen shook her head. "That’s too much trouble. If you’re busy with something, I’m afraid I’d hold you up. How about this? My dorm has a lot of space. We can put these things in my room, and once I’ve nearly spent all my money, I can sell them bag by bag for cash. It won’t bother you, and I can get the money anytime."

When lying, Yun Zhen did so without blushing or skipping a beat, and her breathing was perfectly steady. In reality, only she knew the torment she was going through—it was all for the villagers.

Huang Li nodded earnestly. "This method you came up with is much more thoughtful. I was also worried that I might accidentally ignore a call from the staff, or be unable to come if something came up. Leaving the things with you means you can take them to exchange for cash anytime. The flea market is in the back, between the eighth and ninth buildings. Remember, a quilt is at least forty bucks, and a Raschel blanket is at least ten bucks."

"I’ll remember that," Yun Zhen said.

As a result, the vehicle heading for the flea market parked downstairs at Yun Zhen’s dorm. She and Sister Huang carried everything upstairs. Although the items looked large and plentiful, they actually didn’t weigh much. Yun Zhen alone could carry two sets of bedding.
