Rebirth at 70: I am the rough man’s treasure

The south is close to the sea and is also developed. Those who do black market business basically go there to purchase goods and then return to the northeast to sell them for money.

Wu Shengqian came into contact with this industry and got to know the people in it, not on his own initiative.

Three years ago, there was an old man in the sheep farm who was dying of illness and needed an imported medicine to survive.

Wu Shengqian was not close to him at ordinary times, but at this critical moment of life and death, Wu Shengqian took the risk and personally went to the south for the old man.

During this run, I met a group of brothers who were doing black market business.

Wu Shengqian was a powerful man and a righteous person. These people liked him very much and desperately wanted to recruit him to join the group.

However, he had been to a labor camp, and he also wanted to enter the palace.Besides, he was a single man and didn’t have many places to spend money, so he didn’t agree to these people.

Later, when the folks in Yangkoupo had some needs from time to time, such as buying a briquette stove for heating or buying some life-saving medicine, Wu Shengqian would use this relationship to find those people.

In fact, the money he makes through black market trading is very limited, and he doesn't take any big orders.

But this time, he found the black market owner Long Wu and asked for a 50 yuan watch.

"Brother, this batch of goods is not a small amount. This is your first time doing a big deal, so you want it to be so big? Are you afraid of something happening?"

Long Wu was very polite to Wu Shengqian, patted him on the shoulder and asked.

It's hot in the south, and Long Wu is shirtless, revealing the tattoo of a dragon on his shoulder.The man is tall, dark and strong, which makes him feel oppressive.

But Wu Shengqian showed no signs of timidity in front of him. He just said calmly: "The more risks you take, the more money you can make."

Long Wu looked at him for a while and smiled, "Okay, brother, you are so courageous!"

Wu Shengqian made another request: "I have no capital, I have to take this batch of goods first, and then I will give the money to you, Brother Long."

He called him brother, but his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't mean to please him at all.

Long Wu had long wanted to recruit him into his gang and use him for his own use.

Now, I am willing to give him benefits as a way of making friends.

Long Wu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sure! Brother Long, I have been around for so many years, and I can tell who I can trust at a glance. Brother, I believe in you."

It's that simple. Wu Shengqian got a 50 yuan quartz watch.

Once these watches are sold, it will not be a problem to make two or three thousand.

Yang Xiaotian spent more than half of her money for medical treatment.

Wu Shengqian and Lian Dagen rushed back to his hometown of Yangkoupo without stopping.

If you hold on to black market goods, the risk will increase every day.Wu Shengqian didn't even return home. As soon as he arrived at Yangkoupo, he made an appointment with the buyer and agreed to do the transaction in the woods outside the village tonight.

One-hand money, one-hand goods, no arrears.

"Brother, the price of this product is tens of thousands. I have never seen so much money in my life, and I am still a little nervous."

While waiting for the buyer to come over in the woods, Lian Dagen was so cold that he rubbed his hands and chatted casually.

Wu Shengqian just remained silent, staring at the goods in his hands and looking around cautiously.

Before, he wouldn't be nervous at all.

What can I do if I'm caught? I'll just squat in jail for a few days.To be more serious, if you go back to a labor camp and work as coolies for two years, you will still be a good man when you come out.

But things are different now. He has a family and a wife.

Wu Shengqian felt a little guilty when he thought that he had promised Yang Xiaotian not to do black market business again. Although, he returned to the black market this time just to make money to treat her.

Wu Shengqian was thinking erratically when his ears suddenly moved and he heard vague movement in the distance.

When he squinted again, he saw a faint halo of light, which made him immediately alert, "No! Someone is coming. Look at the flashlight, it's probably the police!"

"What? So fast?"

Lian Dagen said in disbelief.

The two of them started running wildly along the winding road in the woods.

However, the people from the police inspection team were obviously well prepared and were surrounding him from all directions.

Flashlight lights came one after another, and the two found that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and they had no way out.

"Dagen, I'll make a scene and run east. If the people from the inspection team are chasing me, the encirclement will open. If you see the opportunity, sneak out quickly, do you understand?"

Wu Shengqian squatted down, buried all the watches in a large box, and spoke to Lian Dagen in a low voice.

Lian Dagen immediately shook his head, "This can't be done! Brother, am I still a human being if you do this? How can I let you carry the bag alone?"

"I was the one who initiated this matter. If I don't stand up for it, who will? If you really stand up for it, you won't be able to stand up for it. The relationship between the sellers and buyers in the black market is all mine. The inspection team will know it once they investigate." Wu Shengqian He said quickly, "If you have to accompany me in, you are just being stupid for nothing. Besides, if we both go in, who will take care of your sister-in-law for me?"

"But……"

"But that's bullshit! Listen to me!"

Wu Shengqian interrupted Lian Dagen arrogantly, and suddenly let out a scream of "Ouch", which indeed caused flashlights to immediately converge in his direction.

He pushed Lian Dagen hard, then deliberately stepped on the ground to make a sound, and ran to the east desperately.

The members of the inspection team chased after him. Seeing the encirclement dispersed, Lian Dagen wiped his tears, finally raised his feet and ran in the opposite direction.

It has been almost ten days since Wu Shengqian left Yangkoupo.

During these ten days, Yang Xiaotian lived alone in this small house and even began to plan for the next step in her life.

She was prepared that Wu Shengqian would not want her, and even asked Fat Aunt to help her find out whether the sheep farm here would accept temporary female workers. She could do any hard and tiring work.

That night, Yang Xiaotian fell asleep very late. Just after a short sleep, she heard someone calling the door urgently: "Sister-in-law, come out quickly, it's bad!"

Yang Xiaotian recognized Lian Dagen's voice and hurriedly went to the yard to open the door and took a look. Lian Dagen immediately gasped and said, "Sister-in-law, it's bad! My brother was arrested by the inspection team!"

When Yang Xiaotian heard this, her heart suddenly shuddered.

She hurriedly pulled Lian Dagen into the door, then lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on? Didn't Wu Shengqian go to buy breeding sheep for the sheep farm? How could he be arrested?"

"I we..."

Lian Dagen hesitated for a moment, and finally punched himself in the head before telling the truth to Yang Xiaotian.

South, black market, watches.

These words made Yang Xiaotian's heart grow colder and colder.

Wu Shengqian had clearly promised himself that he would no longer participate in black market transactions.

Only a few days later, I returned to my old job, and I did a great job!

Yang Xiaotian thought about Wu Shengqian's indifference and dissatisfaction with her before setting off, and her heart sank even more.

She thought, it seemed that Wu Shengqian really planned to break up with her because she couldn't have sex with him at the moment.Otherwise, why would he not listen to her and go to the black market again?

Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook her head gently.

Lian Dagen asked eagerly: "Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?"
