The Dong family seemed to really think that they could easily control Dong Yue, and no one came to take her home.

Dong Yue is temporarily staying at Yu Qingtang's place. She goes to work during the day, and runs to the town when she is not working. Yu Qingtang suspects that she is going to the black market.

Dong Yue also knew that Yu Qingtang suspected that she had gone to the black market. She didn't confess but she didn't try to hide it either.

Yu Qingxu moved to the next room and shared a room with Cheng Wuyang, so Yu Qingtang just had a temporary roommate.

The weather is getting colder and colder. It snowed the day before yesterday and now is the time when the snow is melting. It is even colder outside. Yu Qingtang doesn't want to go out at all.

The system had no income, and it kept nagging at her mind every day.

"Don't rush me. Do you think I don't want to earn some golden pumpkin seeds? It's too cold. You'll freeze to death if you go out."

"Is there a difference between the temperature inside the house and the temperature outside? If you didn't freeze to death inside, you won't freeze to death outside either."

Yu Qingtang shrunk his head into the bedding: "The room is windproof, and there are quilts."

The system really wants to pull up this guy who has rolled himself into a cocoon with a quilt, but unfortunately it has no hands.

Yu Qingtang turned sideways to press the left side of the quilt tightly, then turned sideways to press the right side of the quilt tightly, and finally raised his foot to press down the quilt under his feet. After completing a whole set of movements, he retracted the rest of his head into the quilt.

She closed her eyes and told the system: "Play a movie for me."

The system played a vampire movie in her mind with an expressionless face.

Yu Qingtang watched with great interest.

Cheng Wuyang and Yu Qingxu were playing cards at Qin Kankan's house next door. From time to time, they could hear the sound of Qin Kankan losing and Ye Yunxiao coaxing people.

There is a warm scene in the backyard of the educated youth site.

At the same time, Dong Yue wore a black cloth hat on her head, a large mask on her face, and wrapped herself in a gray, rotten cotton coat, braving the cold to sell eggs on the black market.

She collected eggs from a brigade far away from the town. Each egg cost five cents, and she sold ten for eighty cents.

She could earn 30 cents from ten eggs. Although the profit was small, it was the best way to make money she could think of now.

There is no need to shout when selling things in the black market. Everyone keeps quiet tacitly and haggles the price in a low voice when they see what they need.

The eggs brought by Dong Yue sold very well. The first few times she sat here for a while, the eggs were bought up by several aunties.

Only today something went wrong.

The eggs she collected this time were of different sizes. Some of them were probably newborn eggs and were particularly small. The aunt who bought the eggs asked her to sell two eggs as one.

Dong Yue refused, "Aunt, newborn eggs are more nutritious. I didn't charge you more. You can't bargain with me."

My aunt also had her own reasons: "It's just a saying that newborn eggs are nutritious. Who knows if it's true or not? The eggs are small, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that. If you sell it to me at the price of a chicken egg, I will lose a lot of money."

"Eighty cents for ten, not a cent less, buy it or not."

The auntie put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, I'm telling you..."

"Run!"

A short man came running around the corner, shouting, "The police are here, run!"

The crowd ran in another direction in panic. The auntie immediately shut up and squeezed into the crowd. Dong Yue rolled up the egg and followed the crowd.

"stop!"

"We are surrounded, stop now!"

Several uniformed police officers ran out from the corner, but there were too many people here and they couldn't catch them all.

"There are police officers here too, run over there!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Dong Yue was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't see the direction at all. When passing through a narrow alley, she relied on her slim figure and squeezed through the gap.

"Kacha kacha——"

When she was crawling through the gap, Dong Yue heard the sound of eggs breaking in her arms, and her heart ached.

"I should have sold it to that auntie earlier."

The black market was originally located in a densely populated area, and the alleys here were interconnected. Dong Yao lost his way while running.

Occasionally, you can hear the police shouting from other places, and the sound of chaotic footsteps is everywhere.

When Dong Yue passed by a small courtyard, she happened to see a policeman in front of her catching a man. At that moment, her heart almost stopped beating.

It’s over. Once caught, it’s really over.

The gate of the small courtyard next to her was opened a crack. At this time, she didn't care whether there was anyone in the yard and subconsciously went in.

"what--"

Dong Yue let out a short scream and covered her mouth.

The two men turned to look at her, disturbed by her.

"Yeah, sorry!"

Dong Yue felt the world's deep malice towards her.

Opposite them were two young men about 1.80 meters tall. One had a handsome face and a gentle temperament, while the other had a firm facial feature and eyes as sharp as blades.

If they met under normal circumstances, Dong Yue might even praise them as two handsome men.

It's a pity that the timing is not right now and she has discovered someone else's secret, but this may also be her opportunity.

The police were arresting people outside. Dong Yue was afraid that the two would chase him out, so he said preemptively: "The police are arresting people outside. Let me hide here for a while. How about I keep your secret?"

The two men didn't say anything, and then another man came out of the room.

Song Cheng rubbed his hair which was messy due to the nap, and looked at his two good friends Wen Yuxi and Xie Han.

"What's all the noise outside?"

Dong Yue didn't know who the man who suddenly appeared was, but the two men standing in the yard were standing together in an intimate posture, and it was obvious that they had a special relationship.

But he acted as if he didn't see it. Dong Yue guessed that he must have known about their relationship for a long time.

Three against one, and there were three young men against her alone, Dong Yue's heart sank even more.

If these two were a little more ruthless and wanted to keep the secret, perhaps this day next year would be the anniversary of her death.

"Yeah, why is there someone here?"

Song Chen seemed to have just seen this person. Dong Yue had already thrown away the broken eggs, but she was still holding the cloth that wrapped the eggs.

At this time, the cloth stained with egg liquid is exposed outside and others can see it at a glance.

Song Cheng, who had completely sobered up, understood the situation at the moment. He smiled kindly and said, "We'll have to wait outside for a while. Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Dong Yue looked at him warily.

Song Cheng drew a basin of water from the water tank in the yard, washed his face, and shivered from the cold.

Looking at his friend who was still standing in the yard, he said speechlessly, "You two are standing in the yard as door gods. You've scared the guests so much that they don't dare to enter the house."

Xie Han walked into the house holding Wen Yuxi's hand, and a mocking voice came out from the house.

"You are the one who is frightening. You are a grown man and you suddenly invite a girl into your house. Anyone would suspect that you have ulterior motives."
