Chapter 41: Becoming Someone Else's Dowry

  Everyone, brothers and sisters, remember to collect them as you go! The next chapter may be a bit late!

  At this time, Chu Jiaqiang's phone rang, and when he saw that it was Ye Caiping, he knew that she had started to urge him.

  "Dead bandit, where did you go? I told you to wait for me, but you actually ran away. Hurry up and come back, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!" Ye Caiping threatened.

  Chu Jiaqiang forced a bitter smile, hung up the phone, and said to Chu Shengyi: "Uncle Shengyi, I'll leave this to you. It's definitely not possible to pull it all at once, anyway, we have time, just don't pull too much, after all, that road is not safe."

  Chu Shengyi nodded and waved his hand: "I've got this under control, leave it to me! You go ahead and take care of your business." He knew best that his tractor's load capacity was only three tons, but in the countryside, there was no such thing as overloading. Usually, overloading by two or three tons wouldn't be a problem. However, with over ten tons here, he didn't dare to joke around with his life. Especially on the road to Chujiashan, it was bumpy and uneven, and the tires could easily get into trouble. He planned to transport them in three batches, prioritizing safety!

  Chu Jiaqiang hurried back from the old street to the new street, and had to cross an arch bridge. On both sides of the bridge, there were some small vendors selling small items, and Chu Jiaqiang saw that someone was selling strawberries. The strawberries looked tender and juicy, but because they were quite expensive, at over six yuan per kilogram, business was very slow.

  The old woman saw Chu Jiaqiang stop, looked at her strawberries and immediately launched a sales pitch. No way, business was too bad today. She deeply felt the difficulties of growing fruit in rural areas, it was impossible to sell them out, fortunately she had been cautious at the beginning and didn't dare to plant too much.

  "Good-looking boy! These strawberries are absolutely fresh and big, try one first, don't worry about buying or not, if it's delicious then buy." The old lady immediately picked up a bright red strawberry and handed it to Chu Jiaqiang.

  Chu Jiaqiang felt a bit embarrassed and hastily said: "No, no, I was just taking a casual look." He waved his hands repeatedly.

  The old woman pulled Chu Jiaqiang's arm and said, "Taste it, taste it. This is freshly picked this morning, are you afraid of poison on it? Don't worry, it's our own farm, no pesticides, just some fertilizer." She forced it into Chu Jiaqiang's hand, then smiled and said, "Business isn't done yet, but morality is!" After finishing, she looked at Chu Jiaqiang with a face full of expectation.

  Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but look at the bright strawberries in his hand, his eyes full of helplessness. They had already been stuffed into his hands, and now that things had come to this point, it was impossible to throw them away or stuff them back, or else he would really be asking for trouble.

  He thought for a moment, forget it! Buy some for Chuyan at home. Strawberries are high-end products, that little glutton must not have eaten them before, and the price is enough to scare off most rural people.

  Chu's family strongly put the strawberry into his mouth and took a bite, the sweet juice inside overflowed. Honestly, the taste is really good, not too sweet, after eating, there is a slightly sour and sweet feeling in the throat.

  "Hey, old lady, how much are these strawberries?" Chu Jiaqiang asked.

  The old lady's face suddenly burst into a smile, and she immediately said: "I see people selling strawberries on the street, but they are from the neighboring town. They don't taste as good as mine, and they sell for 6.5 yuan per kilogram. Mine is cheaper because I don't need to pay transportation costs, so it's only 6 yuan. How many do you want, young man?" As she spoke, the old lady had already torn off a plastic bag and opened it, letting Chu Jiaqiang choose for himself.

  "Come on, let's get three or five catties!" Chu Jiaqiang immediately started picking them out. Which one to choose, the big one or the red one?

  The old lady was even more delighted, ordinary people would buy at most two catties, you know the price of this fruit is almost as expensive as pork, others would just buy a few to taste. But this young man opened his mouth and wanted three to five catties, she immediately added another bag outside.

  Some people came forward to patronize, and passersby naturally turned their heads, and even some young people walked over to take a look and ask the price. The old lady was delighted, and Chu Jiaqiang not only bought a lot of strawberries but also opened up his own sales market. She was so happy that she picked out a few more for Chu Jiaqiang when weighing them.

  Those who were still hesitant saw that the big aunt was quite genuine, not only was the price cheaper than the person on the street, but the strawberries were also fresher and bigger, and they immediately tore off a bag and picked some up.

  He had just paid the money when his phone rang again. Chu Jiaqiang didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately headed towards the agreed location.

  His behavior really infuriated Ye Cai Ping. Letting a beautiful woman like her stand on the street waiting for someone was extremely embarrassing, and looking at passersby casting curious glances, Ye Cai Ping really wanted to strangle Chu Jia Qiang. Finally unable to bear it any longer, she called Chu Jia Qiang again, ready to scold him severely and vent her anger, but unexpectedly he didn't answer the phone.

  Chu Jiaqiang saw Ye Caiping, who was not far away and was sulking, and thought to himself: Oh no! Old Master once said that only petty people and women are difficult to raise.

  "Cough cough! Sorry about that! Something urgent came up and I made Principal Ye wait for a long time, I'm really ashamed!" Chu Jiaqiang stepped forward with a stiff upper lip.

  "You'd better give a reasonable explanation, or I won't let you off." Ye Cai Ping saw Chu Jia Qiang and was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath.

  "I'm preparing to build a bridge over the reservoir I contracted, just went to select steel and cement, on my way back saw strawberries, just brought some back for that little girl at home. You want some too? These strawberries are quite fresh." Chu Jiaqiang opened the bag.

  Ye Cai Ping's anger dissipated a bit, and she immediately thought that the first time she went to Chu Jiaqiang's house, not bringing something would be impolite. She looked at the bag of strawberries and said: "I was worried about what to buy for you, since you helped me buy it, then thank you!"

  After finishing speaking, he took a big bag of strawberries from Chu's strong hand, about four or five catties.

  Chu's family was stunned for half a day, and in his heart, he secretly thought: As a person, you can't be shameless! Taking the things I bought as gifts given to me! Isn't that too ridiculous? The things I bought myself became someone else's dowry.

  "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and leave! Are you not satisfied that the monkey hasn't been seen enough by people?" Ye Caiping said with a push to Chu Jiaqiang, who was in a daze.

  Chu Jiaqiang let out a long sigh and thought to himself: Forget it, anyway it's going to end up at my place, who bought it doesn't matter anymore. Seeing the two large suitcases next to Ye Caiping, he was startled again, pointing at the two large suitcases: "These can't be yours, can they?"

  "Nonsense! Not mine, what am I guarding here for? Hurry up and help me carry these two boxes." Ye Cai Ping didn't pay attention to the bitter smile of Chu Jia Qiang behind her, and continued walking forward.

  Chu's family was so strong that he couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "You used to live here for two days, no need to be so exaggerated! People who don't know would think you're moving all the dowry over!"

  Carry the suitcase to the side of the motorcycle, then tie it up and ride back to Chujia Village with Ye Caiyun.

  Because the last two boxes were a bit big, the space for the two people was smaller, and Ye Cai Ping's chest was tightly pressed against Chu Jiaqiang. Chu Jiaqiang's back was being pressed by two soft mounds, it felt really comfortable.
