章 500: One And The Same Family

Aunt Zhang couldn't understand why Gu Zi didn't push harder. She could have easily negotiated a better price. After all, she was buying five hundred coal balls. Why couldn't she get them for 0.08 yuan each?

If Aunt Zhang herself were buying in such bulk, she would have insisted on a price of 0.07 yuan per piece. It seemed that even Gu Zi had her moments of confusion.

The coal seller found this woman to be quite straightforward. Although the price was a bit low, the quantity was substantial, which was a good thing. So, after discussing with his wife, he immediately accepted Gu Zi's money and began counting the coal balls.

Next, the coal seller unloaded a small iron cart from his truck, filled it with coal, and followed Gu Zi towards the Su family home. Gu Zi's pushcart was filled with the remaining coal balls and the coal that Aunt Zhang had bought. Since Gu Zi was holding her child, Aunt Zhang was the one pushing the cart.
