Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar
Chapter 231 Going to the Black Market (1)
No matter what era it is, there will always be people who take risks. Some do it for a living, while others do it for profit. At the beginning of the founding of the country, materials were relatively scarce, and the country severely cracked down on the trading of black forces. Although no matter how severe the crackdown is, there will always be places where the sun does not shine. When there is demand in the market, the black market will be born, which is not tolerated by the government.
But this black market is very popular among the common people. Even if you are an official, if you have nothing at home, you can only go to the black market to exchange. Now the city of Beijing implements a rationed food supply for every household, especially after the beginning of winter this year. I heard that we need to support the disaster-stricken provinces in the south. The issue of food is very important. Adhering to the principle of supporting each other in times of trouble, the common people of Beijing are very supportive.
They would rather starve than let the people in the south suffer. This made the price of grain in the city higher and higher. Sometimes, even if you were rich, it was difficult to sell grain. Especially since the grain coupons were recently implemented, the life of the common people at the bottom was like that of Wang Xiaoer, and it was getting worse every year.
He Yuzhu looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly, and tiptoed to get out of bed. Qin Huairu pulled the light cord beside the kang, and the light in the room suddenly lit up. He Yuzhu looked at his wife awkwardly, and Qin Huairu glanced at her husband and said, "Why are you not sleeping so late at night? What are you going to do?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I was going to take a look inside the black market, and I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't call you." Qin Huairu snorted coldly and said unhappily, "You, didn't you say that I would go with you? Why don't you keep your word? You told me before we got married that you would never lie to me after we got married."
He Yuzhu rubbed his hands awkwardly. It wasn't that he didn't want to take Qin Huairu with him, he was afraid that Qin Huairu would get hurt. After all, that place was beyond the reach of the law. If there was any danger, He Yuzhu believed that he would be able to escape unscathed with his skills, but if he took Qin Huairu with him, he wouldn't have that much protection.
He Yuzhu said, "I'm not. The black market is a no-man's land. If I encounter any danger, I'm afraid I can't protect you." Qin Huairu listened to her husband's words and felt that what her husband said was really reasonable. In the past, the black market was protected by the gangster boss, and she went there with her father. I heard that the investigation was very strict during this period. If there was any accident, she knew that her husband's ability would definitely allow him to come back, but if she took her with her, she would definitely be a drag.
Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart, knowing that her husband was doing this for her own good. After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you not go? We don't need anything at home, so there's no need for you to take such a big risk. You still have a wife and a sister at home. If something happens to you, what will Yu Shui and I do?"
This was the first time He Yuzhu felt someone's care for him, so he quickly came over and patted his wife's hand. He kissed Qin Huairu's forehead, smiled and said, "We've been married for such a long time, don't you know your man's ability? Although he's not as capable as Yan Zi Li San, you should be able to believe that he can escape from the black market."
"We have been married for almost a month. This time I want to go to the black market to buy two pieces of jewelry for you. I don't want my wife to marry me with nothing. We are still young, so we must buy two engagement tokens. Otherwise, when we become old men and women, looking back on our youth, this matter will definitely leave us with regrets."
Qin Huairu was moved to tears by the picture drawn by her man. What a beautiful picture it was to become an old man and an old woman. Now that things have come to this, if she stops her man again, she would really let him down. But she was really afraid that her man would meet those arresting people, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while. She just held her man's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go. She knew that her man was very skilled, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Qin Huairu couldn't bear this one at all. It was hard to imagine what she would do in the future without He Yuzhu.
After about half an hour, He Yuzhu sneaked out of the room. He Yuzhu coaxed Qin Huairu for half an hour before she agreed. After all, she had to go to the black market to see it, even if it was for her future. The antiques of the golden age of troubled times, when she collected some antiques in the future, those antiques would benefit her descendants.
When He Yuzhu walked to the front yard, he found that the old man Yan Fugui was sneaking out with a bag. Looking at the bag in his hand, He Yuzhu knew that the old man was probably going to the black market. Yan Fugui had three half-grown sons, and half-grown sons would starve their father to death, not to mention that there were three of them. The ration of Yan Fugui's family was not enough to support them, so they could only go to the black market to buy some corn flour, black flour, etc.
He Yuzhu secretly followed Yan Fugui and walked to a corner. He Yuzhu quickened his pace and ran behind Yan Fugui. He patted Yan Fugui on the shoulder. Yan Fugui was so scared that he froze and threw the bag of grain in his hand to the ground. He said tremblingly, "Who is it? I don't have any money on me."
Yan Fugui felt that he had probably been robbed. Although the country had been liberated and the country had been founded, there were still many such activities in the dark corners. Even in the 90s, robberies at night were still common. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle, it's me, don't be afraid."
Third uncle? That's what people in the yard would call you. Yan Fugui turned around and saw that it was He Yuzhu. He was so angry that he almost cursed. His heart almost stopped because of the fright. He said with a dark face, "He Yuzhu, what the hell are you trying to do? Scaring people can kill them, don't you know that?"
