Rebirth: My story with my ex-husband

Chapter 8 Activating the System Trading Platform

Su Xinmi met the man's gaze.

The man was wearing a wrinkled grey suit that had several holes in it that had been patched up.

Su Xinmi remembered that the man just introduced was called Liao Jianda. He was of strong physique but not tall, and his eyes always stared at people sinisterly.

Seeing Su Xinmi looking at him, the man's eyes flashed and he continued to eat.

Su Xinmi frowned subconsciously, feeling displeased with this person.

There is no reason, just personal intuition.

When Su Xinmi went to sleep at night, she felt that she could smell the scent of soil and she tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep.

Jiang Yinqiu came over and asked, "Mi Mi, aren't you used to it?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep."

"Did I wake you?"

"No, I'm a little unaccustomed to it and can't sleep."

Both girls laughed quietly under the covers.

Song Taomei also couldn't sleep. She heard some noise and yelled, "What are you doing? Why are you laughing so late at night?"

I can still laugh in this situation.

In fact, Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu laughed very quietly, and even the sound of katydids outside was louder than their laughter.

Song Taomei's yell woke everyone up. Wang Hong had long been accustomed to this environment, and Lin Qiu Shuang was also a young lady and was not used to it at all.

After Song Taomei's noise, no one wanted to sleep anymore.

Wang Hong said seriously, "Song Taomei, don't yell at me so late at night. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. I still need it."

He turned over, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Song Taomei felt aggrieved. It was obviously not her who started the trouble, so why was she the only one being criticized?

She looked at Lin Qiu Shuang, and Lin Qiu Shuang simply pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.

Song Taomei felt deflated and looked at Su Xinmi with an unfriendly look, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Su Xinmi got up straight away the next day. The roosters hadn't even crowed yet, and there was no sound of people going to work.

She got out of bed carefully, afraid of waking up Jiang Yinqiu beside her.

As a result, when she got dressed and washed up, she saw Jiang Yinqiu had also woken up.

The two looked at each other's faces, both looking gloomy, and smiled knowingly. It seemed that neither of them slept well last night.

"Qiuqiu, are you going to the market?"

Jiang Yinqiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. I still want to buy something. I heard that the educated youth can only go to the market once a month, so I'd better go to the town and take a look."

Su Xinmi brushed her teeth while mumbling, "Me too, a lot of my stuff hasn't arrived yet."

The two of them didn't plan to have breakfast and went straight to the village entrance to attend the market.

Lao Wang was waiting there. When he saw the two newcomers, he said, "They must be the new educated youths."

"Yes, Grandpa Wang, how much is it?"

Lao Wang smiled and said, "It's one cent round trip. When you come back, wait at a fixed place. If the time is up, no one will wait for you. Come back and figure it out on your own."

Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu each gave Lao Wang one cent. Although the ox cart was not that clean this time, it was not too dirty as people often rode on it.

After waiting for a while, two aunties from the village came. When Lao Wang saw that no one had arrived, he left.

Not many villagers want to go to the market, so where would they get so much spare money?

When the two aunts saw that Jiang Yinqiu and Su Xinmi were fair-skinned and unfamiliar, they began to ask them how old they were, whether they were married, and how many people were in their family.

Fortunately, no one wanted to introduce them to anyone. Also, at that time, no one wanted the educated youth to marry into their family.

Not only is she a delicate person, she is also not good at working. It would be a shame for her to run back to the city in the future.

When they arrived in town, they both breathed a sigh of relief, finally they didn't have to be questioned.

Su Xinmi didn't know where the post office was, so she asked Lao Wang. Fortunately, Lao Wang was very familiar with it and explained it to her in no time.

He took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket and gave them to Lao Wang, "Give them to the child."

Lao Wang didn't dare to accept it, "It's too expensive."

Su Xinmi put it directly into Lao Wang's pocket and smiled: "It's nothing, thank you for showing me the way."

Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu acted separately. They bought different things, so there was no need to waste time together.

When she arrived at the post office, Shen Dachuan was already waiting there.

He quickly quickened his pace and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Brother Dachuan."

Shen Dachuan thought it was nothing, "It's okay, I just got here a while ago."

Su Xinmi asked the staff, "Sister, do you have any package for Su Xinmi?"

The staff was originally lazy, but when they heard the little girl's clear voice, they called her sister. She was married, but she was still called sister.

I felt a little embarrassed. I became more enthusiastic towards Su Xinmi, "Yes, yes, it arrived two days ago, it's a big package."

Su Xinmi naturally couldn't lift it, so Shen Dachuan helped her out and saw such a big bag.

Su Xinmi and Shen Dachuan fell silent at the same time.

Su Xinmi smiled sheepishly, "Brother Dachuan, thank you for your help."

Shen Dachuan carried the things onto the bicycle and tied them up with a rope.

Su Xinmi waved her hand and said, "You go first. I need to buy something."

Shen Dachuan nodded and left.

Su Xinmi turned to the staff again, "Sister, can I make a phone call?"

"No problem, 70 cents a minute."

Making phone calls is still a bit expensive in this day and age.

Su Xinmi called her uncle, and the call was transferred once before her uncle answered.

"Mi Mi, now we're over there, are you used to it?"

Su Xinmi felt a little warm in her heart, "I'm already here, dear uncle."

"I'm just calling you to reassure you. I'm already here, don't worry."

In the end, Su Xinmi did not call her cousin. She could have called one person, mainly because Su Xinmi thought it was a waste of money.

She ended up spending a little over a dollar.

Su Xinmi went to the breakfast shop and bought a few buns. They were fragrant with meat and had plenty of fillings, without the pitfalls of later generations.

I ate several Su Xinmi before I felt alive again.

Su Xinmi bought some newspapers and prepared to use them to paste the walls. Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well at night, for fear that bugs would crawl out of the cracks in the earthen walls.

Su Xinmi was strolling around, trying to find the black market.

Usually hidden in deserted alleys.

Su Xinmi hid in an alley, quietly dressed herself up, and smeared a handful of ashes from the bottom of the pot on her face.

The clean and tidy Su Zhiqing became a country girl whose appearance could not be recognized clearly.

She was carrying a backpack covered with a layer of cloth and walked into an alley.

There were two people guarding the alley, so they stopped anyone who came and said, "Pay two cents to get in or out."

Su Xinmi paid the two cents honestly. She had just seen that she could enter after paying the money.

After entering, Su Xinmi saw that there were more people. Those who were selling things put their things on the ground casually, and those who were buying things took things before delivery.

There were quite a lot of things. Su Xinmi was curious, so she was stopped by an old woman, "Girl, do you want eggs? Eggs from my own home."

"One for four cents."

Su Xinmi was thinking about the meal last night. She could secretly cook it in her space and eat it secretly when she went to work.

Nodding, "Buy, I want 20."

Su Xinmi gave eighty cents and just as she took a step forward, she was stopped by another old lady.

Maybe it was because he saw Su Xinmi buying so many eggs without blinking an eye.

I asked Su Xinmi if she wanted an old hen, and there was a half-dead lamb next to it.

"What happened to the little lamb?"

The old woman sighed, "The ewe died, and the lamb hasn't been weaned yet. My family can barely support the people, so I have no choice but to sell the lamb while it's still alive."

When the lamb saw Su Xinmi coming, it opened its eyes weakly, and tears flowed from its bright eyes, as if it knew it would not live long.

Su Xinmi also felt sad when she saw this, but she didn't have a ewe, so what should she feed the lamb? It would be better if she could have some space water.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in my head.
