Chapter 76: Chapter 76: My Awesome Grandma

Yu Hai stood tall and proud, listening to the chatter around him, trying his best not to burst out laughing.

Now’s the time to hold it together!

Inside the courtyard, Xu Shuhua and the others heard the commotion outside and all came out to see what was going on.

When they saw Yu Hai and the van behind him, the whole Yu family was stunned.

The Yu brothers had never seen a van before. Right now, they were full of curiosity, standing next to it, wanting to reach out and touch it, but not quite daring to.

It was Xu Shuhua who kept her composure, holding Yu Nuannuan as she walked forward. “Fourth, what’s this about?”

Yu Hai quickly introduced, “Mom, this is Old Mr. Xie. He’s here to buy our sour dates.”

Hearing this, even Xu Shuhua raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She’d only sent Yu Hai to the county to try selling the sour dates on a whim—she never actually expected him to find a buyer.

Who would’ve thought!

Yu Hai went out just once and actually found someone to buy them.

And the buyer even drove a van!

Though waves of shock rolled through her heart, Xu Shuhua’s face remained calm and composed as she looked at Old Mr. Xie. “Come on in, come in! If there’s one thing we have plenty of, it’s sour dates!”

Old Mr. Xie and the young man who drove followed Xu Shuhua into the Yu family’s courtyard.

As soon as they entered, Old Mr. Xie spotted the sour date tree, its branches packed with fruit.

Old Mr. Xie was an older man and had seen a lot in his life, so he managed to keep his cool.

But the young driver, Xiao Wang, couldn’t help himself. His eyes went wide with shock as he stared at the scene, blinking hard. “What month is it again?”

How could the sour dates be ripe already?

Before Xiao Wang could say more, Old Mr. Xie shot him a look to stop him.

He’d already tasted the sour dates—they looked good, tasted good, and were perfect for medicinal use.

As long as the product was good, who cared why they ripened so early?

“How much are you planning to sell these sour dates for, per jin?” This time, Old Mr. Xie looked at Xu Shuhua.

Xu Shuhua’s mind worked quickly. “Since you’ve come all the way to our home, we won’t ask for any inflated price. Just give us a fair number, and that’ll do.”

Nestled in Xu Shuhua’s arms, Yu Nuannuan gave her grandma a big thumbs-up in her heart.

That’s my grandma for you!

She’s so quick-witted!

Xu Shuhua didn’t know what price would be reasonable per jin, so she simply tossed the question back to Old Mr. Xie—and she did it in a way no one could fault.

Awesome, Grandma!

Old Mr. Xie’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. After a moment’s thought, he said, “These sour dates look and taste great. How about this—eighty cents a jin. How does that sound?”

Yu Nuannuan was surprised at the price.

Eighty cents a jin—how many jin are on that tree? How much money could that be?!

What Yu Nuannuan realized, the other adults in the Yu family realized too.

Now, when they looked at the sour date tree, their faces were no longer twisted in sour grimaces—they were grinning from ear to ear.

Xu Shuhua shot them a glare: What are you all grinning like fools for? Cover up those silly smiles!

But when she turned back to Old Mr. Xie, Xu Shuhua was all smiles herself. “Great! We trust you! We know you won’t cheat us. Eighty cents a jin it is! Eldest, second, third—hurry up and pick all the sour dates from the tree. Fourth, go bring out the ones we picked earlier.”

Yu Hai blinked. The ones we picked earlier?"
