Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 283: Unable to Put It Down

"Little sister, can you sell me one of those hairpins? I see you have so many in your bag!" The woman spoke after watching for a while, her tone somewhat ingratiating.

Lin Xia’s expression changed upon hearing this, "Big sister, that’s not possible. I have a lot of hairpins here, but they’re all meant for my cousins. My aunt mentioned in her letter that these were bought for a group of us nieces. How can I sell them? If my cousins find out later, I won’t be able to explain."

Though she seemed anxious, she made two things clear. First, she wasn’t intentionally flaunting the hairpins to entice them, her intentions were pure, and she didn’t trick them into buying anything.

Second, while the hairpins were indeed meant for her cousins, the other party wasn’t aware of their existence, which gave a big opportunity to the other party as indicated.

Sure enough, the woman quickly said, "Little sister, your cousins don’t even know about these hairpins, right? Sell them to me first, and you can replace them later. If it really doesn’t work, have your aunt buy more and send them over, and you can pay for them, right? See! I really love them, and I might not be able to sleep if I can’t buy them today." The woman played the poor card.

"But, that’s really troublesome. I’d have to ask my aunt to buy and send them again, and I..." Lin Xia still said with a bit of difficulty.

"I’ll give you a bit more money; you can buy yourself something nice to eat!" The woman finally started to tempt Lin Xia.

Lin Xia seemed swayed but frowned and said,

"Big sister, speculation is risky, isn’t it?" Lin Xia spoke very softly.

"Let’s keep it down, secretly so no one hears. Who will know about our transaction! Don’t worry, little sister!" Seeing hope, the woman whispered with Lin Xia.

However, several women nearby were watching, just waiting for the woman to persuade Lin Xia.

"Alright then, my aunt said these are two yuan each, you give me two more mao, and I’ll sell them for two yuan and two mao! That way, I can explain to my aunt!" Lin Xia reluctantly said.

"Sure, no problem! Good things should cost a bit more! Sister, I’ll buy two!" The woman quickly handed over four yuan and four mao, secretly placing it in Lin Xia’s hand.

Lin Xia pocketed the money happily, then let the woman choose two herself. The woman bought the one Lin Xia was wearing and picked another from the bag.

Then, she switched places with the woman in front, who had already heard their conversation clearly and was eager to try. She had three daughters, all of whom loved to be beautiful, and she thought they would surely like it.

The woman was generous, immediately buying six hair ties and three hairpins, with the same price for both, pulling out nineteen yuan and eight mao. Even though it hurt a bit, seeing the exquisite hairpins and hair ties in her hands, it wasn’t a big deal.

Just like that, switching places, Lin Xia’s twenty hairpins and twenty hair ties sold out in no time, all done secretly. Except for the first woman who wore hers, everyone else put them in their bags.

Lin Xia felt the eighty-eight yuan in her pocket, very satisfied, with sixty-eight yuan being hers. Earning sixty-eight in a day was incredibly fast; her dad didn’t make this much in a month, and it was exhausting.

She happily bought a new snack that the shopkeeper said was double-skin milk made with milk, and each person could only buy two servings. Lin Xia pouted; well, she’d have to share one with her two sisters, but after working so hard, she had to have one for herself.

When she happily went home, it was not even noon yet. Her elder sister gave her two days, and she completed it in less than half a day. A little pride was not too much, right?

After returning home, her elder sister did praise her and rewarded her with a feast, but from then on, the things she sold became varied, sometimes cigarettes, candles, pencils, or knives, or face cream, fragrance.

Different groups needed different things, and she tried interacting with these groups.

Over time, she gradually understood the personality traits of these groups and some techniques for dealing with them.

Lin Xue was training her in this area. The third sister didn’t have a skill like the second sister, but her hobby was making money and doing business. Although she couldn’t be called a business genius, she had run a supermarket herself, and these skills needed to be cultivated from a young age.

One day, when she went to college, she would outperform others, and even the best boss can’t do without sales ability.

So, within two months, Lin Xia’s assets had already surpassed her elder sister’s.

"Big sister, it’s so cold today; I don’t want to stay at home! Let’s go out and brave the cold!" On Saturday, Lin Xia got up early as usual, because the weekends were the days when her assets increased the most, she couldn’t waste them.

"The end-term exam and holiday are approaching, let’s not go out and stay home to read and do exercises! We’ll talk about going home later!" Lin Xue didn’t agree with her sister’s request.

Lin Xia had long learned to obey her elder sister. As soon as her sister said this, she immediately had nothing more to say and obediently went back to her room to read.

Lin Yun also finished her orders, and Lin Xue didn’t let her take any more, asking her to study and review, as the holiday was coming, and it would still be okay to do them after the holiday.

Lin Xue was just about to go downstairs to cook when she heard a knock in her mind, exciting her because she hadn’t heard that sound in a long time. After Zhang Yuan moved to a new place, the living conditions were poor, several people in one dormitory, busy with research by day, and unable to come in by night, they hadn’t seen each other in a long time.

"Xiao Xia, why don’t you make breakfast? I’m a bit unwell and want to go back to sleep for a while!" Lin Xue said after letting Zhang Yuan into her space.

"Big sister, what’s wrong with you? Let me see if you have a fever?" Lin Xia was worried upon hearing her sister was unwell, rushing over to feel her forehead. "No fever! What’s wrong, sister?"

"I went to bed late last night and have a headache. I’ll go sleep a little more. You guys eat yourselves; I’ll eat when I wake up!" Lin Xia made up an excuse and went back to the room, locking the door.

Lin Xia worriedly walked to her second sister’s room, telling her about their elder sister’s discomfort.

"How come brother-in-law hasn’t had any word for so long? During the summer, there were two letters, but it’s been so long without one now. It’s understandable why sister might be upset about it!" After getting engaged to Sun Bing, Lin Yun and he had been particularly good, understanding more about relationships, thinking about brother-in-law upon hearing about the elder sister’s late night and headache.

She associated it with brother-in-law, that elder sister might miss him and have trouble sleeping because of it. It’s no wonder, given that so much time had passed without news; anyone would overthink it.

"It’s nearly three years, right? Brother-in-law promised it would only take three years, yet there hasn’t been any word, and elder sister came back alone initially; could it be...?" Lin Xia was taken aback by what her second sister said, worrying if something bad had happened.

"Don’t talk nonsense, especially in front of the elder sister! Let’s go cook and make some porridge with a warming aroma for elder sister, so she can eat as soon as she wakes up!" Lin Yun warned her younger sister and led the way to cook.
