Chapter 910: Selling Mushrooms
Chen Jianguo nodded and drank the soup faster. After finishing one bowl, he scooped another bowl and continued eating.

Seeing that he only scooped up the soup, Chen Jianmin frowned and said, “Xiao Guo, you should also eat the mushrooms. Children shouldn’t be picky eaters.”

Everyone noticed his tone and thought he was unhappy because Chen Jianguo was a picky eater.

“Brother, it’s not that I don’t like mushrooms,” Chen Jianguo explained quickly.

“Then why don’t you eat mushrooms?” Chen Jianmin asked.

“That…I…”

Chen Jianmin looked at him coldly and asked, “Chen Jianguo, don’t you regard me as your brother?”

Hearing this, Chen Jianguo panicked and waved his hands quickly, “Brother, that’s not what I mean. I do regard you as my brother.”

“Then you don’t regard us as family?” he asked again.

“No, brother. I like this family,” Chen Jianguo lowered his head.

“Then why? Why do you treat us as strangers? Have you ever seen someone who is so polite to his family and always like he was sitting on pins and needles at home every day?” Chen Jianmin asked.

When everyone heard this, they finally understood that Chen Jianmin was worried about Chen Jianguo.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jianguo finally said, “I’m sorry, brother.”

Chen Jianmin took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and said, “Now that you know you were wrong, just raise your head and eat.”

“From now on, I don’t want to see you acting like a guest in this home. This is your home, so stop thinking too much. We are your family, so don’t be polite. Do you understand?” he asked.

“I understand, brother.” Chen Jianguo sobbed.

Hearing his suppressed sobs, Chen Jianmin reached out and patted his head. But before he could do so, Chen Jianguo shrank his head and avoided his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Jianmin’s eyes flickered, patted his head gently, and said, “Xiao Guo, Brother will never hit you for no reason. If you are bullied outside, you must tell your brother. As long as I am here, No one can bully you.”

Feeling the cold palm caressing his head, Chen Jianguo nodded and said, “Thank you, brother.”

“Okay, eat quickly, otherwise the soup will get cold,” Chen Jianmin said.

When Chen Gang saw that his son had finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Come on, come on. Let’s eat.”

While eating, he glanced at his eldest son. This year, his son is only 13 years old, but he has matured a lot. Since they separated their Chen family, it was no longer he or his wife who took care of the family’s money and food. Instead, it was his eldest son.

While he was proud of his son, he also felt distressed. As a father, he failed to give his children a good life. Therefore, the eldest son needs to mature earlier and help carry the burden.

He looked at the soup bowl in his hand and sighed. Fortunately, his son became friends with Li Chenmo’s family and followed them to the mountains.

With the addition of food for the production team and food from the mountains, their family will have no problem passing the test this year. As for money, they can dry the mushrooms and sell them to state-run supply stores or exchange them for meat.

Chen Gang planned to sell the mushrooms to the government, but Chen Jianmin had different plans.

After drinking the mushroom soup and washing the dishes, everyone returned to their rooms. An hour later, Chen Jianmin walked out of his room and went to get the basket of mushrooms after he made sure that everyone was sleeping.

He carried a small lantern and walked to Su Lide’s house. With the moonlight and the small lantern, he could see the road clearly and arrived at Su Lide’s house in less than twenty minutes.

Standing outside the door, his forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve and saw several people walking around in the backyard.

When he saw one of them, he raised his lips and walked towards them. When he got to the backyard, he stood outside the fence and said, “Good evening, brother.”

Hearing this, Bajie and his comrades who were busy moving food were stunned. Their bodies stiffen and their brains spin rapidly. They looked at each other with questions in their eyes.

Guessing their thoughts, Chen Jianmin said, “Brother, I’m here to sell fresh mushrooms, not to arrest you or report you.”

After hearing this, Bajie finally walked up to him. When he saw a young boy, he felt relieved, but his expression remained calm.

Bajie stood in front of him and asked, “Little brother, what do you want to sell?”

Chen Jianmin put down the basket and said, “Brother, I want to sell mushrooms.”

Bajie’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw the fresh mushrooms. Due to the summer harvest, no one goes to the mountains to collect mountain products. Even if someone is willing to sell them, the quality of the mushrooms is not good and the quantity is small.

Judging by their size, these mushrooms are sure to be juicy and tasty. After Bajie saw the goods, he said, “Come in.”

Then, he went to open the door to the backyard and let Chen Jianmin in.

As soon as the bamboo basket was put down, Bajie came over with a scale and said, “Little brother, how do you sell your mushrooms?”

“Brother, just do it as usual,” Chen Jianmin said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Bajie was stunned. He guessed that this was the first time for this kid to sell things on the black market, and he might not be familiar with the trading methods of the black market.

So, he hopes he can sell everything at a lower price. Unexpectedly, the boy threw the ball back to him.

Now that the boy has said it, if he bought everything at a lower price and someone found out, wouldn’t he and his brother be very embarrassed?
