Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Original Sin 14

But now there’s no need to worry, because Lin Shuangshuang’s mushroom quality is good. When she went to the town to sell mushrooms, a restaurant owner from the county, who was visiting his parents in the village, took a liking to them. Now, Yun Shuangshuang sells all her mushrooms directly to him.

These days, Yun Shuangshuang just picks the mushrooms and sells them directly to this restaurant owner without needing to put them in a basket. She and the restaurant owner agreed that whenever she sells mushrooms, they would weigh and price them less. The excess, Yun Shuangshuang secretly keeps for herself.

The owner also knows that these mushrooms are all picked by little Yun Shuangshuang, and because she handles things very maturely, he agreed. The owner’s restaurant is quite large, and if Yun Shuangshuang finds truffles, he certainly has the capability to purchase them.

When Yun Shuangshuang really started digging for truffles on the mountain, she realized she had underestimated it. Truffles are not just hard to pick; they’re extremely hard to find. On the first day, she wandered around all day and, besides the usual mushrooms, didn’t find a single truffle.

For seven consecutive days, she gathered a pile of mushrooms, but as for truffles, Yun Shuangshuang kept sniffing the air, trying to discern the unique scent of truffles. She almost developed rhinitis before she found three truffles!

Although it took many days to find just three truffles, Yun Shuangshuang was quite lucky; these were three white truffles. Due to their rarity compared to black truffles, the price of white truffles is seven to eight times higher.

Two of them were small, only fist-sized — and by fist, I mean Yun Shuangshuang’s fist. The biggest one was as large as a big Fuji apple. The truffle was dense, heavy in the hand, and although it is a fungus, its taste and appearance are completely different from mushrooms.

Lin Shuangshuang weighed these three truffles and thought they must be over a pound. The rarity of truffles is because they can’t be cultivated artificially, which is why their prices are high. These three white truffles were of excellent quality and very fresh, worth about two thousand yuan.

After returning, Lin Shuangshuang carefully wrapped the three truffles in wild grass and hid them. Although this area isn’t the main production area for truffles, every year, someone occasionally finds them, so people in the village recognize these expensive fungi. Everyone fears missing out on them because it would be like brushing past stacks of cash.

For the past two months, Yun Shuangshuang has been eating very well and exercising a lot. A child’s body changes daily. Though her height hasn’t changed much yet, her body has become much stronger. At least she’s no longer just skin and bones like when she first woke up, and she’s gained some strength.

When Yun Shuangshuang first woke up, carrying twenty pounds on her back for a few steps would tire her to the point she couldn’t straighten up. Now, she can easily carry over twenty pounds of mushrooms down the mountain.

Initially, Yun Shuangshuang relied purely on determination and the quick recovery of a child when hiking up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Every night she was so tired her legs hurt and she couldn’t sleep. But now, after half a day of climbing, she doesn’t feel tired. That’s the advantage of being a kid — although their strength is small, their recovery can’t be matched by adults.

Twenty pounds of mushrooms sold for over a hundred, and the three white truffles sold for nearly two thousand, just as Yun Shuangshuang predicted. She saved all this money without telling the Yun Family.

Although she’s eager to save up for a motorcycle, the money for an escape is more important. Yun Shuangshuang has a secret plan in mind: she wants to save enough to go to the city and help Feng Jinyan with a medical checkup, potentially allowing Feng Jinyan to recover sooner.

Although if Feng Jinyan recovers, she might have to face that troublesome family sooner, it would be the happiest outcome for her mother, Feng Jinyan. That’s enough. As for the rest, Yun Shuangshuang doesn’t believe that in this life, she would end up as miserable as in the past.

In her past life, Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t doing badly. Although she couldn’t compare to her mother Feng Jinyan’s family background, she, without education and with a troubled mother, managed to establish a mid-sized hotel and had five-star chef skills. In many people’s eyes, Yun Shuangshuang was a legend.

The only reason Yun Shuangshuang suffered in her past life was because she cared too much about her mother Feng Jinyan. That’s why she paid attention to the cold and ironic remarks from Feng Jinyan’s relatives. In essence, Yun Shuangshuang tormented herself. Now, she doesn’t care anymore. With the memories from her past life, Yun Shuangshuang will only live better.

This life’s goal for Yun Shuangshuang is to keep improving herself and live better and better. Most importantly, she aims to maintain a good relationship with her mother and never get swayed by others into doubting her mother’s love for her.

As for those so-called grandparents and sister, she’ll never again live under their judgmental gaze. For the sake of her mother, not seeking revenge against her mother’s close relatives is more than generous enough; asking her to be even more so is impossible!

After she started picking truffles, Yun Shuangshuang quickly increased her secret savings. Even though her truffle-picking speed isn’t fast and mostly consists of black truffles, the value of truffles is high. Finding one every three days still earns more than picking mushrooms for three days.

When there were still mushrooms to pick, Yun Shuangshuang secretly brought back the truffles she found and saved all the money from selling them. As the weather got colder, mushrooms became scarcer until they couldn’t be found at all.

To continue going to the mountains for truffles, Yun Shuangshuang had to take some of the money from selling truffles and give it to the Yun Family.

The truffle-picking season is from November to the following March. During these months, Yun Shuangshuang’s secret savings quietly surged to over thirty thousand!

At a time when even 10,000-yuan households are rare, Yun Shuangshuang had already become a genuine little rich girl! The money she gave to the Yun Family was finally enough for Yun He to buy a new three-wheeled motorcycle.

Recently, all of the Yun Family members wore excited smiles, and when they stepped out, the whole village looked at them with envy. Everyone knew that the small granddaughter of the Yun Family was promising: an eight-year-old girl was able to earn over ten thousand yuan for her family, picking mushrooms in the fall and truffles in the winter. Now with spring approaching, she could start picking mushrooms again. This little girl alone earned them a fortune!

Recently, Yun Shuangshuang also eagerly awaited the Yun Family’s purchase of the three-wheeled motorcycle. Finally, on a day when willow catkins were floating all over, Yun He rode back on the brightly painted red motorcycle.

Upon returning, Yun He proudly rode it up and down the village seven or eight times, causing many to grumble enviously, saying, ”Not even earned by himself, but relying on a few-years-old child to earn it. How can he boast!” Their tone was as sour as could be!

But the Yun Family only boasted for a day. Early the next morning, the brand new three-wheeled motorcycle disappeared. Along with it, Yun Shuangshuang and her mother Feng Jinyan vanished, as well as all their clothes and bedding!
