Rebirth: The eldest daughter emptied her family and went to the countryside
Chapter 14: Going out to meet a noble person
Little did they know that the conversation between the three was overheard by Sun Xiao'e who was hiding in the corner.
Her family was not well off. Her parents, both workers, had to support two elderly people and five children. Their family also favored boys over girls, so any good things they got were left to her younger brother.
The four sisters have been doing housework and odd jobs at home to supplement the family income since they were young.
Sun Xiao'e was the smartest among her sisters. When she was doing odd jobs outside, she would always secretly take some inconspicuous things, and this became a habit over time.
When we first arrived at the educated youth center, our living conditions were not good. One time, we were caught stealing Wu Xuan’s toothpaste.
From then on, she never dared to steal anything again. She always felt that the educated youth Wu was secretly watching her from somewhere. Now, the conditions of the new female educated youth were so good, so she would not have to go hungry in the future.
In the afternoon, Liu Yiran told Ji Qing and Qi Jiao that she was going to the city to contact relatives to buy food.
It was not convenient for two people to go together for such a thing, so he asked her to help buy the pot back. Not only did he give her the money to buy food and the pot, he also gave her the money to hire a donkey cart for the return trip.
Liu Yiran was so happy. Although it was just a small amount of money in her opinion, it was a lot for an ordinary family.
There was no need to buy a pot. She had collected several in her space, two of which were new, just enough to give to Ji Qing and Qi Jiao. The zero-cost income was indeed the most attractive.
But we still have to go to the city, just to explore and see if we can find a way to enter the black market.
After arriving at Longjiabao, she took a bus to the city. Since she had left home late today, she had no plans to go back. When she left, Liu Yiran went to the captain to get a certificate so that she could stay in the guesthouse for a day.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived in Ji City.
The guesthouse in Ji City is not as good as that in Tianjin. It is a simple two-story building without any unnecessary decorations.
The service staff was a lady in her forties. Liu Yiran took out a silk scarf from the space and put it in the lady's hand.
"Sister, I am an educated youth from another place. I am not very familiar with our place. I hope you can give me more guidance."
The elder sister was also a person who had seen the world. She knew at first glance that the scarf was not cheap, so she put it under the counter with a smile on her face and said, "Sister, you are too polite.
Sister, I was born and raised in Ji City. There is nothing I am not familiar with within this area. Just speak your mind.
As long as I can help, that's fine, right? I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't really help you with anything big."
Liu Yiran handed over the certificate with a smile.
"Look at what the elder sister said. What's the big deal? It's nothing more than asking for directions. We just arrived and don't have any food. The village asked me to go out and buy some myself, but I don't have that many food coupons. I'm not worried about anyone!"
"I thought it was a small matter. Come on, I'll take you to your room and we can talk while we walk."
I have to say that this elder sister was very enthusiastic. When Liu Yinran walked into the room, she already knew the specific location of the Ji City black market, the entry code, and the information of the main leaders.
This black market is semi-transparent, and the government knows something about it.
But everyone’s life is so difficult that the leaders just turn a blind eye and tolerate its existence.
The boss of the black market is a man with a legitimate job named Wu Long. No one knows whether it is his real name. He has never appeared in the black market, so naturally no one has seen him.
After a simple meal, she found the iron pot, grain and eggs she wanted to take back for Ji Qing and Qi Jiao in the space, and went out with her bag on her back.
It was already dark, and it was time for her to go look for the legendary black market.
Since the black market here is tacitly approved by the government, it is much safer than that in Tianjin. Although you may earn less, your life is more important!
Thinking of how Liu Lili had been desperately trying to make money using the space in her previous life, she muttered angrily:
"Although I'm not a time traveler, I know everything about you. How can this not be considered another kind of prophet?"
"Ouch!"
Liu Yiran's thoughts were interrupted by shouting from the front. He looked up and saw a middle-aged woman lying on the ground, crying and shouting for the man opposite to pay compensation.
When I got closer, I saw some pastry crumbs scattered on the ground.
The person who bumped into him was a man in his thirties, dressed in a formal suit. He looked like a man with a job and a wealthy life.
"How can you be like this? Not only did you hit someone but you didn't apologize and you didn't even pay for it? You look like an educated person, but you don't even understand the most basic principles. Have you read so much that you can't even remember the truth?"
Liu Yiran felt sad in her heart, is there something wrong with her logic?
Shouldn't she apologize first and then pay the money? But this woman didn't seem to care about apologizing and only wanted the money.
The man was scolded and was neither humble nor arrogant: "I didn't hit you, why should I apologize, why should I pay money? If you want to blackmail someone, you should look at who the target is. I don't have a rule not to hit women."
The woman sitting on the ground couldn't see how ugly the man's face was because it was too dark, and she continued to cry.
This intersection is the only way to the black market. They are blocking Liu Yiran's way here and she can't get through at all. It seems that she has to take care of this matter.
She picked up a piece of cake from the ground and said to the woman sitting on the ground:
"Sister, I think people should be honest, what do you think? This pastry of yours has obviously been left out for many days. It's so dry, it might have broken by itself.
It's not good for you to make a lot of noise and blackmail people. I heard that there are police patrols here every night.
They are all smart people, and they can tell who is lying at a glance. If you are arrested for false accusations or blackmail, your family will need the money to redeem you."
After hearing what Liu Yiran said, the middle-aged woman cursed inwardly, raised her butt and turned away.
Seeing that Liu Yiran continued to walk forward without stopping for a moment, the middle-aged man quickly caught up with her from behind and said, "Thank you for what you did just now. Are you going to the black market, little girl?"
Liu Yiran looked around nervously: "Brother, I saved you, why are you still trying to hurt me! Can you say so openly that you're going to the black market?"
Wu Long laughed and said, "Little girl, you are from another place, so you may not understand the rules here.
What's wrong with going to the black market? We just need to be unaware of it. We had a disaster a few years ago and many people died. If there were no black market, who knows how many people would have starved to death."
Liu Yiran rubbed his hands awkwardly: "I knew it was safe, but I didn't expect it to be so safe!"
"Little girl, you have just acted bravely. Consider it my way of repaying a favor. Tell me what you want to buy. I have some acquaintances in the black market."
Meet a noble person when going out?
"Brother, you are such a kind person who knows how to repay kindness. What is the level of your acquaintance? Can he meet the black market boss? I have a lot of food, but I don't have a way to sell it."
Liu Yiran's distressed look made Wu Long roll his eyes in disgust.
"People are starving right now, and you're still worried about not having enough to eat? If someone hears you saying this, they'll probably beat you up! But anyway, how much food do you have? If it's a lot, I can help you get someone to collect it."
