Chapter 143: Chapter 143 The Surveillance Team Comes to Arrest People
But Jiang Mianmian was small, and when she sat down, she was much shorter than the people around her. So, Yu Cheng directly stretched out his hand and lifted her onto his lap.
“Ah, what are you doing?” Jiang Mianmian, suddenly picked up, was startled.
Yu Cheng was very calm, “You were completely blocked by the people in front of you. Sitting there, you couldn’t see anything.”
Jiang Mianmian felt a bit awkward; after all, she was an adult on the inside, and sitting on the lap of a young man felt somewhat embarrassing.
However, Yu Cheng’s body temperature was much higher than hers, and sitting on him, her whole body felt warm.
She looked up at Yu Cheng and saw his indifferent expression, which made her think she was probably overthinking it.
After all, her current shell was just an eight-year-old child, and he surely was just treating her like a little sister and looking after her.
With that thought, she also felt calm.
After watching the movie, it was already past eight. After a short wait, Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu came back, evidently in high spirits.
It was clear from their looks that they must have sold all their sunflower seeds, and the family happily returned home.
After calculating the day’s earnings, Su Wanyu, divided the money, excitedly exclaimed, “The sunflower seeds sold so well, we can fry more tomorrow.”
Even after deducting costs and splitting with Yu Cheng, she still had nearly seventy dollars in her hand!
But Yu Cheng did not agree with her idea, “We can fry more for the next town, but we should fry less for our own town. We’ve been selling there for two days already, and if nothing unexpected happens, someone will start copying us and sell sunflower seeds tomorrow.”
He had thought that people would have started selling tonight, but it seemed the locals here were not as bold as those from the Capital City, likely still in observation tonight.
However, now that it was confirmed that selling sunflower seeds was profitable and no one was apprehended, surely others would start competing tomorrow.
Hearing this, Jiang Changhai frowned skeptically, “Buddy Yu, it can’t be that quick, right? It’s only been two days.”
“Yeah, Yu Cheng, I also think it won’t be this quick. We sold so well today; if we prepare less tomorrow and run out, we’ll really regret it.”
The taste of success had given Su Wanyu an unusual boost of enthusiasm, especially since a day’s earning from selling sunflower seeds was nearly more than what they made in a year working in the fields.
However, Jiang Mianmian took Yu Cheng’s side, “Dad, Mom, I think Brother Yu is right. Now that our sales are hot, people will definitely be jealous and start selling too. Today, while selling sunflower seeds, I noticed several people watching us for quite a while.”
Yu Cheng felt she was very insightful for supporting his idea and helping convince her parents.
Also, the feeling of being admired and trusted felt quite good.
Seeing both children say this, Jiang Changhai thought about it and decided to trust his daughter and Yu Cheng’s judgment.
“Alright, let’s go with what you two suggest!”
His daughter had always been his lucky star, bringing him good fortune every time.
Yu Cheng was a well-experienced city kid, and his opinions definitely held some merit.
That evening, when Yu Cheng and Jiang Mianmian arrived at the movie theater, they indeed saw others selling sunflower seeds, and not just one seller.
Fortunately, they were mentally prepared for this, so seeing the other sellers didn’t upset them too much.
However, selling the sunflower seeds tonight proved difficult, as even after the movie had started for several minutes, they hadn’t sold all of their twenty pounds of seeds and still had quite a few left.
Just then, suddenly, someone yelled, “Inspectors are coming to arrest people!!!”
