Chapter 292 Kind Souls (Part One)

• Chadwick Fullner headed straight to the wholesale market, where vendors were already bustling early in the morning, eager to purchase salad in bulk. The early bird catches the worm, as the saying goes - arriving early allows you to select the finest produce, while arriving late means settling for what remains. Vendors understand that the leftovers are of lower quality and appearance, making them more challenging to sell. This is why everyone strives to arrive early for their wholesale purchases. Typically, people begin arriving around five o'clock, so Chadwick Fullner's arrival at four o'clock was considered unusually early. However, he was accustomed to this schedule, as Mrs. Langston had taught him the importance of sacrificing some sleep to acquire the best produce.
• Upon reaching the salad wholesale warehouse, Chadwick Fullner retrieved his prepared salad purchasing plan from his bag. He meticulously reviewed the list and proceeded to purchase various types of salad one by one. While he was familiar with this process, today was different - usually, he only managed the transportation of the produce, while Mrs. Langston handled the payments and negotiations. However, today he was on his own. Thus, when Chadwick Fullner struggled to push the heavy cart filled with vegetables back, it was already past six o'clock, which was half an hour later than usual.
• A passerby gazed at the towering pile of vegetables on Chadwick Fullner's cart, almost as tall as a person. He labored for over half an hour to push the cart to the market. Unlike the other stalls operated by couples, Chadwick Fullner managed his stall alone. This meant he had to double his efforts, resulting in greater fatigue and a slower pace.
