Sun Hao did not expect Song Yao to still be able to use him. He agreed happily. “Alright, Cousin, tell me what you want me to do.”

Song Yao thought of the other world she had seen in her dream and said to Sun Hao, “You’ll be in charge of delivering food. When the time comes, I’ll give you a commisson of two cents per order and a base salary of five yuan!”

“That’s too much. Just give me five yuan for food and accommodation.”

Sun Hao was a little dumbfounded. His cousin was too relentless in spending. One order cost two cents. He could at least send two orders a day, right?

40 cents a day meant 12 yuan a month. Coupled with the base salary of 5 yuan, this was much easier than farming!

However, Song Yao smiled and said, “It’s quite tiring to deliver food. Moreover, I don’t know if it will work. We’ll talk about it when the time comes. But don’t worry, I won’t let you go hungry!”

Sun Hao almost cried when he heard that. “It’s good enough that you don’t blame Cousin. Why are you still helping me?”

The next morning, Song Yao brought a few books to the train station.

Now that she had money, Song Yao bought two seating tickets. Song Yao suddenly remembered that Mei Zhao had helped her buy train tickets last time.

Because business had been busy recently, she had almost forgotten about this matter. When she returned from Sangqiu City this time, she would return the remaining fifty-five yuan to Mei Zhao.

After getting on the train, Song Yao sat down with her luggage. Coincidentally, she bumped into the young man who sold instant noodles last time.

When the young man saw Song Yao, he leaned over. “Sister, have we met somewhere before?”

Song Yao thought for a long time. “Are you the young man who did dirty business last time?”

“I…” The corners of the young man’s mouth twitched awkwardly. “I sell instant noodles. Do you want a packet of instant noodles?”

Song Yao sized up the cloth bag on the young man’s back. “Is it still fifty cents a bag?”

“Yes!” After saying that, the young man took out a packet of instant noodles and handed it to Song Yao.

Song Yao thought for a moment. She didn’t bring anything to eat this time. She asked Sun Hao, who had accompanied her, “Cousin, do you want a bowl of instant noodles?”

Sun Hao did not sleep well last night. He fell asleep as soon as he boarded the train. When Song Yao called him, he immediately woke up. “What instant noodles did you say?”

The young man quickly pushed the instant noodles in front of Sun Hao.

“50 cents a packet. Do you want to try it?”

“No! This is too expensive!”

After Sun Hao finished speaking, he pushed away the instant noodles. Perhaps the young man had not earned money for a while. He put the instant noodles into his bag. “Then how much do you think is suitable?”

Sun Hao thought for a moment. “It’s more like ten cents a packet. It’s not like I’ve never seen this thing before. We can buy a box of it for fifty cents in our town.”

“This…” The young man selling instant noodles was in a dilemma. “Your price is too cheap. I can’t even earn back my capital…”

He looked at Song Yao pitifully. “Sister, can it be a little more expensive? Can it be 2 bags for 50 cents?”

Song Yao did not say anything.

“What about the 20 cents per bag? It can’t be any cheaper!” This was the cheapest price! He sold it to others for 50 cents per bag!

But Song Yao still didn’t say anything.

The young man said, “How about one ham sausage… or two ham sausages? Fifty cents for two packets of instant noodles and two ham sausages!”

“Deal!” Song Yao took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to him.

The young man took the money with a smile. He did not care if it was a loss or not. He immediately took out two packets of instant noodles and two sausages from his bag.

“Where are you guys going?”

Song Yao sighed. “When we go to Sangqiu City, have you always been selling instant noodles here?”

“Yes.” The young man sighed. “I originally wanted to work in the south, but I was cheated of my money. Now, I can only sell instant noodles on the train…

Song Yao put the instant noodles into the lunch box and used the hot water that the young man brought to boil it before covering it. “What about your family?”

“They’re all gone…” After the young man finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and cried.

Song Yao wanted to comfort him, but she realized that the train attendant not far away had come to check the tickets. She took out the train ticket from her pocket. By the time she reacted, the young man had already disappeared in front of her!

“Where is he?” Song Yao searched for a long time but could not find him. In the end, she could only sigh and say, “Forget it, let’s eat.”

The train had been on for two days and two nights. They would reach Sangqiu City in another night!

Song Yao got up and went to the toilet. She saw a warm-hearted woman fetching hot water by the sink.

As soon as she saw Song Yao enter, the eldest sister immediately went up to her.. “Sister, are you going out alone?”
