Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"We are now in a cooperative relationship. You don't have to be so polite to me. Wouldn't that make it seem distant?" Zeng Zhengen said with a smile.

Li Xueyu nodded repeatedly, and then discussed the price of the cosmetics with Zeng Zhengen.

"Jung-Eun, how should I decide the price of this cosmetics?"

Although she had a lot of rouge and powder in her shop, none of them could compare to the cosmetics Zeng Zhengen brought.

Zeng Zhengen looked around at the prices of rouge and powder in Ningzhifang, and finally said after thinking for a while.

"Let's sell this cosmetic at the price of twenty taels of silver per set!"

Twenty taels of silver does not sound cheap at first glance, but a set of cosmetic bottles including toner, lotion, and face cream only costs a little over six taels of silver on average.

The better rouge from Ningzhifang costs nearly five taels of silver, so the price of twenty taels of silver per set of these cosmetics is reasonable.

Moreover, Zeng Zhengen planned from the beginning to develop this cosmetics in a high-end direction, so the price was naturally set higher.

Li Xueyu was slightly surprised when she heard the price set by Zeng Zhengen.

Twenty taels of silver for a set. Excluding the cost of the cosmetics, which was twelve taels of silver, she made a net profit of eight taels of silver for each set, which was much higher than the profit from rouge and powder.

But she soon felt relieved. You know, those young ladies from wealthy families would spend more than ten or twenty taels just to buy some snacks.

"Okay, then the price will be twenty taels per set." Li Xueyu said with a smile.

After that, the two discussed for a while, and then Zeng Zhengen left Ningzhifang.

Today she brought a total of five sets of skin care products and two bottles of acne cream. The price of the skin care products is twelve taels of silver, and five sets is sixty taels.

The price of the acne cream was a little higher, thirty taels of silver per bottle, and two bottles were sixty taels, so Zeng Zhengen earned a total of one hundred and twenty taels.

Zeng Zhengen recharged twenty taels of silver into the system mall, and put the remaining one hundred taels into the system space, together with the silver he had robbed on the road.

When passing by a pork shop, Zeng Zhengen originally wanted to buy some pork to take back, but after thinking about it, he decided to buy it in the system mall.

After all, the things in the system mall are much cheaper than those outside. Although she has money now, she still has to be frugal, after all, she still has three sons to support.

After Zeng Zhengen left the butcher's stall, he headed straight out of the city.

However, just as they were about to reach the city gate, a dirty man suddenly rushed towards Zeng Zhengen.

Zeng Zhengen saw the man running towards her and instinctively took a few steps back.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's really you! I thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect it was really you!"

A familiar voice came into Zeng Zhengen's ears. Zeng Zhengen looked closely and found that the beggar was actually Zhang Laosan.

At this moment, Zhang Laosan was in tattered clothes and was extremely dirty. There were even lice jumping around on his head.

Zeng Zhengen took a look and then moved away with disgust.

Zhang Laosan finally saw Zeng Zhengen, how could he give up just like that!

After seeing Zeng Zhengen take a few steps back, he hurriedly crawled over again.

"Sister-in-law, I am the child's uncle after all! How can you just watch me wandering on the streets?"

At this time, Zhang Laosan had long forgotten Zeng Zhengen's warning to him while fleeing the famine. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was that he must cling to Zeng Zhengen's thigh, otherwise he might really starve to death on the street.

Zeng Zhengen looked at Zhang Laosan lying on the ground with cold eyes.

"I think you have forgotten what I said to you before. You dare to come to me."

While Zhang Laosan and Zhang Laoer were fleeing from famine, they had been harboring evil thoughts and wanted to capture the three kids and sell them. Now they even have the nerve to ask her for help.

When Zhang Laosan heard Zeng Zhengen's cold tone, he immediately remembered the warnings Zeng Zhengen had given him when they were fleeing from the famine, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Sister-in-law, I...we..."

"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, my dagger will have no eyes."

I saw a dagger suddenly appeared in Zeng Zhengen's hand. The sharp dagger reflected a dazzling cold light under the sunlight.

After seeing the dagger, Zhang Laosan dared not say a word anymore.

After Zeng Zhengen put away the dagger, he strode towards the city gate.

Today is really unlucky. I didn't expect to meet a scumbag like Zhang Laosan when I entered the city.

It seems that she has to be more careful when entering the city next time. She must not let Zhang Laosan follow her. She has not forgotten that when she was fleeing from famine, Zhang Laosan and Zhang Laoer were determined to capture the three kids and sell them.

Zeng Zhengen walked towards Fulai Village while thinking about things.

On the other side, Zhang Laosan, after seeing Zeng Zhengen leave, quickly walked towards the beggars' den in the west of the city.

Beggars could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road in the beggars' den. Zhang Laosan walked straight along the road to the innermost part.

After a while, he came to a beggar lying on the ground.

"Second brother, second brother, guess who I met just now?" Zhang Laosan shouted anxiously before he got close.

Zhang Laoer, who was lying on the ground, raised his head slightly, then looked at Zhang Laosan and asked.

"Who?"

Zhang Laosan said excitedly, "Second brother, I just met my eldest sister-in-law, and she was dressed very neatly. I guess she must have settled down in Jinzhou City, and she must be living a good life."

Zhang Laoer looked at him with disdain, then sneered.

"So what if she's doing well? Do you still expect her to take care of us?"

Zhang Laoer didn't believe that the woman was really that kind. After all, when they were fleeing from famine, the woman showed no mercy to them at all.

Zhang Laosan naturally knew that Zeng Zhengen would never take care of them.

"Second brother, we can wait for our sister-in-law to come into the city. Next time she comes, we can secretly follow her to their settled village. Then we can find a way to trick the three brats out and then secretly take them away to sell them."

After hearing what Zhao Laosan said, Zhang Laoer immediately sat up from the ground.

"You are worthy of being the second brother! This is a good idea. As long as we trick these three bastards out and sell them, we will have money. Then we can go to the casino and earn back all the money we lost before."
