"Who's begging for food?"

Dong Yue looked at her with a half-smile: "Everyone in the family knows that you go to the Deng family to help with the housework every day. If it weren't for the 200 yuan betrothal money that Deng Jia promised, grandma would have beaten you up a long time ago."

Of course Dong Yao knew that her family had long been dissatisfied with her, but she didn't care because her family didn't care about her anyway.

After marrying Deng Xingwen, she would never allow her family to continue to bully her and suck her blood.

Dong Yao looked at Dong Yue with disdain. Only idiots like her think their families will remember their kindness.

Dong Yao lay down and continued to think about how to conquer Deng Xingwen's mother so that she could marry Deng Xingwen as soon as possible.

That Yu Zhiqing is a bit of an eyesore. Aunt Deng has always wanted Deng Xingwen to marry her. How can we remove this stumbling block?

Dong Yao turned over unconsciously while thinking, and the wooden bed made a creaking sound. Dong Yue on the other side couldn't help it and got up from the bed and walked to her bedside.

She reached out and lifted Dong Yao's quilt. Dong Yao was frightened and shuddered, screaming, "Dong Yue!"

The noise was so loud that the elderly couple sleeping next door were woken up by her. They cursed through the wall: "Damn you, you money-loser, why are you making noise so late at night? Go to sleep quickly. If you keep making noise, I will slap you both in the face."

Dong Yao immediately fell silent, but couldn't help looking at Dong Yue with anger.

Dong Yue threw the quilt in her hand over her head and said in a low voice: "If you disturb my sleep again, I will--"

But before she could finish her words, her vision went dark, and Dong Yao's quilt covered her head. Then Dong Yao sat on her and beat her on the head.

Dong Yue wanted to struggle and fight back, but her hands and feet were trapped by the quilt.

Dong Yao thought that the quilt wouldn't break anything, so she attacked ruthlessly.

Dong Yue felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing after being punched in the temple.

“S-Stop fighting.”

A faint sound came from under the quilt. Dong Yao heard it but ignored it and continued beating.

Gradually, Dong Yue lay motionless on the ground. Dong Yao calmed down, stood up, clapped his hands and kicked the person under his feet.

"Get up and pretend to be dead."

Dong Yue didn't move. Dong Yao kicked her a few more times, but still no movement. She was a little scared and pushed her through the quilt.

"Hey!"

"Dong Yue?"

The room was silent. Dong Yao subconsciously held her breath and slowly lifted the quilt with trembling fingers.

Dong Yue's face was a little red and swollen, and she put her finger under her nose to check.

"Huh, still breathing."

Dong Yao patted her chest and said, "You little bitch, you scared me to death."

She pulled out the quilt, put it on her bed and covered herself with it and continued to sleep, completely ignoring Dong Yue who was lying on the ground.

In the middle of the night, Yu Qingtang, who was sleeping soundly, heard an electronic sound of "ding dong".

She was not fully conscious yet, and she only heard the system seem to say: "A new bug has appeared... It may have an impact... Please pay more attention to the host..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Kuroda's dream was too attractive, and Yu Qingtang didn't even bother to think about its meaning. He just hummed a few times casually and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Dong Yao woke up, she found Dong Yue still sleeping on the floor. She didn't care and went out to wash up.

So no one noticed that Dong Yue, who was lying on the ground, had stopped breathing long ago. Dong Yue was not seen at the Dong family's dinner table, and no one cared or asked about her.

It was not until after breakfast, when everyone was getting ready to go to work, that Dong Yue's grandmother entered the two sisters' room, cursing. When she saw Dong Yue sleeping on the floor, she started to utter a series of traditional Chinese verses.

He kicked Dong Yue and said, "Get up quickly, you little bitch. You want to be lazy at work. You are just a slut."

Finally, amid her continuous cursing, Dong Yue, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes and looked at the cursing old lady in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

Dong Yue's grandmother didn't notice that anything was wrong with her granddaughter. When she saw her granddaughter wake up, she cursed a few more times and then turned and left.

"Hurry up and get to work. Don't try to be lazy. If you delay working hours, you will be fined and not allowed to eat for a day."

The newcomer Dong Yue was forced to go to work before he could figure out the situation.

*

Last night, Jiang Wan used the old trick of "having a friend" to ask Yu Qingtang for advice.

I don’t know if she had figured it out before she went to bed at night, but today she actually confessed it directly to Yu Qingtang.

"I seem to have fallen in love with a man." Jiang Wan lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by others: "He is in the black market."

Afraid that Yu Qingtang would misunderstand that Song Chen had character problems, Jiang Wan told him how they met.

It's nothing more than the old cliché of a hero saving a beautiful girl.

In order to have the capital to move out of the Jiang family, Jiang Wan secretly engaged in reselling business on the black market.

After all, she was a pampered young lady. Although she was reborn, she had never been to a place like the black market in her previous life, and she was soon targeted.

Jiang Wan has the luck of a heroine and she can always shake off those who are pursuing her, so Song Chen, as the boss of one of the three major forces in the black market, personally takes action.

Song Chen felt that Jiang Wan was good at doing business and originally planned to win her over to do business with him. However, he happened to see Jiang Wan being chased by people from other forces, so he rescued her.

Afterwards, Song Chen confessed his identity and purpose. Jiang Wan cooperated with him, and their feelings grew deeper as they interacted more.

"I think he's very good, but..." Jiang Wan said distressedly, "Recently, the control has become more and more strict. The black market has been investigated several times. Last time, both of us were almost caught, and this time he was seriously injured again."

"The black market is his life's work. He won't give it up, but I'm afraid."

Jiang Wan is just an ordinary girl. The reason she dares to venture into the black market is because she doesn’t want to rely on her family like she did in her previous life and wants to become independent as soon as possible.

Song Chen, on the other hand, is a man of chivalrous spirit. The black market business is not just his business, but also the business of his brothers. He will not abandon them for Jiang Wan.

Yu Qingtang advised her: "You haven't even tried to persuade him, so how do you know he doesn't want to? Besides, he doesn't have to give up the black market. The current situation is only temporary."

Jiang Wan raised his head, his eyes slightly bright.

"You..." She lowered her voice and said, "Did you know anything from your grandfather?"

She was reborn and knew that the social situation would not always be like this, but in her previous life she had been trapped between the two Jiang families and was not sensitive to changes in the outside society. She only learned about many things after they happened.

"What can I know from my grandfather?" Yu Qingtang pretended to be ignorant.

Jiang Wan said anxiously: "Then how can you say that the social situation will not always be like this."

Yu Qingtang said as if it was a matter of course: "That's for sure. Things are constantly changing and developing. The economic base determines the superstructure. Nowadays, people have difficulty in getting enough food and clothing, so they don't have high demands for free trade. When our material life is well-off, we will naturally pursue spiritual life. At that time, places like the black market will not be considered forbidden areas."
