From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Chapter 433: Can’t Sell

"I think her romance with Jasper Shaw is hilarious too. They talked for half an hour yesterday, and it was so awkward I almost died. And they call themselves an old married couple? Please, they’re just faking it!"

For some reason, the tone of the comment section suddenly shifted.

Simon Lawson also noticed this.

But the guests were still in the middle of a task, so after some hesitation, he decided to wait and see.

Meanwhile, Chloe Sinclair was squatting by the pond, a blue cloth in her hand, washing one radish after another. Compared to the others’ clumsiness, Chloe had already washed two full baskets.

The winter water was bone-chillingly cold, yet Chloe Sinclair seemed not to feel it, even though the backs of her hands were bright red.

Gabriel Sinclair’s heart ached seeing this.

"Chloe, aren’t your hands cold?"

Chloe Sinclair faltered for a moment, subconsciously glancing at her hands before shaking her head. "They’re not cold."

Winter in Y Province was cold. Although it didn’t snow every day like in the north, the weather was damp and chilly, and plunging one’s hands into the water could only be described as bone-chilling.

But she had been washing radishes for nearly half an hour. Though her hands were red from the cold, they were actually warm.

Fearing Gabriel Sinclair wouldn’t believe her, she held out a hand. "Here, feel for yourself if you don’t believe me."

Gabriel Sinclair was a bit skeptical.

After all, his own hands were so cold they were nearly stiff.

So, he reached out and gingerly touched his little sister’s fingertips.

They were surprisingly warm.

Gabriel Sinclair’s eyes lit up. The next second, he gripped both of Chloe Sinclair’s hands and said in disbelief, "They really are warm!"

"After you finish washing the radishes, your hands will warm up soon enough too."

With that, she stood up and stretched her back.

Her legs had gone a bit numb from squatting for so long.

The production team had only brought three stools, so everyone unanimously gave them to the three older members.

Otherwise, after a few hours of squatting, forget about selling vegetables—the three of them would probably collapse before they even finished washing the radishes.

It took the seven of them two and a half hours to wash an entire cart full of radishes.

After they finished, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing the cart full of fresh radishes, Frank Hayes couldn’t help but remark, "When I was a kid, farm work felt so easy. I can’t believe how hard it is just to get out of bed now."

Chloe Sinclair subconsciously glanced at Gabriel Sinclair and, for some reason, found it rather amusing.

Just then, Simon Lawson popped up out of nowhere, holding a brand-new white megaphone.

Seeing the director, all seven of them turned to look.

"Director, you’re not here to pull some new stunt, are you?"

Gabriel Sinclair said bluntly.

Simon Lawson already felt a bit guilty looking at Gabriel Sinclair, and his words made him nearly lose his footing.

On the livestream, everyone could tell the camera had jerked. It was obviously startled.

"Stunt? What stunt could there be?"

His face flushed red from the public embarrassment. Simon Lawson raised the megaphone. "Next, I will announce today’s task."

"In a moment, you will draw lots to form two teams. We’ll see which team sells the most. Finally, the audience in the livestream will vote, and the one with the most votes will win a free dinner tonight."

With that, Simon Lawson turned and left, shouting as he went, "Get to it!"

After Simon Lawson left, they loaded the radishes onto the cart and headed to the vegetable market.

The seven of them split into two different locations, with the teams decided by drawing lots.

Chloe Sinclair, Yara Garrison, and Jessica Ford were in one group.

The remaining members formed the other group.

Gabriel Sinclair wasn’t exactly thrilled after drawing his lot, but he respected the result.

The two teams were selling their vegetables quite far apart, and they had to unload the radishes from the cart themselves.

The group with three men was fine. After all, men are generally stronger, and with Nina Sinclair being the only woman on their team, there was no need for her to lift a finger.

Chloe Sinclair’s team, on the other hand, was composed entirely of women. Furthermore, two of them were older, so even if they wanted to help, they didn’t have the strength.

The only one on the team who could do the heavy lifting was Chloe Sinclair.

"Maybe we should ask someone to help us carry these."

Yara Garrison and Jessica Ford were already struggling to lift one basket between the two of them.

But there were still ten baskets left in the cart, and seeing this, both women grew worried.

Chloe Sinclair glanced over, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "You two ladies can rest. I’ll take care of the rest."

???

Both women froze, looking at each other strangely.

But in the next second, Chloe Sinclair swiftly hopped onto the cart. Her eyes scanned the area, not just locking onto the basket of radishes in front of her, and then she bent down.

A basket of radishes weighing over a hundred jin was lifted with ease.

Yara Garrison and Jessica Ford: "..."

’Whoa, so badass!’

The two of them stared with their mouths agape, their eyes wide as saucers. The sheer shock on their faces showed just how stunned they were by Chloe Sinclair’s action.

But that wasn’t all. After lifting the basket of radishes, she hopped off the cart just as nimbly, and upon landing on the concrete, walked to their stall with effortless ease.

A dozen or so seconds later, she returned to move the rest.

Yara Garrison and Jessica Ford exchanged a look and couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t it heavy?"
