Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Knowing that he was not a thief, Shi Qingqian did not follow him any further.

She tiptoed back to her room and lay down on the bed to sleep.

……

A few days later, Shi Qingqian took two remittance slips to the post office to withdraw money.

Entering the post office, she handed the remittance slip to the staff. The staff operated skillfully and handed the corresponding money to Shi Qingqian in a short while.

After coming out of the post office, Shi Qingqian wanted to take this opportunity to find out where the black market in the town was.

So she began to wander around the town. She walked slowly along the streets, her eyes constantly scanning the inconspicuous corners around her.

Based on her last experience of accidentally entering the black market, she knew that the black market was usually hidden in some abandoned places or remote areas.

She walked through one alley after another and passed one dilapidated building after another.

Hard work pays off. After some searching, she finally found it in a small woods outside the town.

Walking into the grove, it was completely silent.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming spots of light on the ground, which sway gently with the breeze.

The once bustling black market was now deserted, and the makeshift stalls seemed somewhat lonely.

Some stalls simply used a few wooden boards placed between tree branches, and there were still traces of the traded items on the boards.

The soil on the ground was compacted by people coming and going, and there were some shallow footprints intertwined.

After knowing the location of the black market, Shi Qingqian decided to go home first.

As night gradually fell, the moon quietly climbed up to the treetops, casting a silvery glow.

Shi Qingqian took advantage of the fact that most villagers were asleep, quietly slipped out of the house, and rode her bicycle towards the grove outside the town.

When she stepped into the grove again, it was as if she had entered a completely different world.

The black market was extremely bustling at this time, with many people gathered in front of each stall, their figures swaying in the moonlight and dim lights.

At the entrance of the black market, several people in dark clothes were looking around vigilantly, as if paying attention to whether there were strangers or danger approaching.

Shi Qingqian went over and paid a one-dollar entrance fee before she was able to enter.

Shi Qingqian saw a stall filled with all kinds of things, including rice, flour, eggs, and cloth.

Suddenly, Shi Qingqian was attracted by a familiar voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Shi Qingqian never expected that she would meet her elder brother Xu Huaiguo in the black market.

She walked closer quietly, hid behind a big tree, and looked at Xu Huaiguo.

There were a few pheasants and rabbits in front of him.

Shi Qingqian finally understood why he went to the back mountain in the middle of the night. It turned out that he went there to catch these animals and then sell them on the black market.

At this time, a man in tattered clothes walked over. He looked at the pheasants and rabbits in front of Xu Huaiguo and whispered, "How much are these for?"

Xu Huaiguo raised his head, looked at the man, and said, "A pheasant is three yuan, and a rabbit is two yuan."

The man frowned and said, "It's too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

Xu Huaiguo shook his head and said, "It can't be any cheaper. I spent a lot of effort to catch this."

The two men began to bargain, and after some argument, the man finally bought two pheasants and a hare at the price of two dollars and eighty cents for a pheasant and two dollars for a hare.

Xu Huaiguo took the money, counted it carefully, and then put it in his pocket.

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Huaiguo's actions and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Li Yue's illness has almost spent all the money Xu Huaiguo had. Otherwise, why would such a law-abiding person take the risk of selling things on the black market?

Speaking of which, although he is sometimes soft-hearted and indecisive, in some aspects, he can be considered a responsible man.

She has enough things in her hands anyway, and considering that Xu's father and mother are both nice to her, she might as well help him.

……

Shi Qingqian silently retreated from behind the big tree, found a hidden place, and entered the space.

Then she went to the dressing room and started to put on makeup. She made her face look a little older, like a middle-aged woman.

After preparing everything, Shi Qingqian walked out of the space and walked towards Xu Huaiguo's stall pretending nothing had happened.

Xu Huaiguo looked up and saw a strange woman standing in front of him. He asked warily, "Who are you? What's going on?"

Shi Qingqian smiled mysteriously and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I have a good deal. Do you want to hear about it?"

Xu Huaiguo frowned and said, "I won't do it, so don't look for me."

He has always believed that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if there is, it must not be a free lunch but a trap.

Xu Huaiguo turned his head and ignored her. Shi Qingqian smiled and threw the rice, flour, pork and beef in her hand in front of him.

Shi Qingqian pointed to the supplies she had brought and said, "I have some flour, rice, pork, and beef here. They're all of good quality. If you're brave enough, I can sell you some of these. If you resell them, all the profits will be yours."

Xu Huaiguo looked at the supplies, his eyes gleaming, but he was still hesitant. He said, "Why are you selling these things to me? Can't you make more money by selling them yourself?"

Shi Qingqian pretended to be helpless and said, "I have other business to attend to. I can't possibly do this little thing myself."

"I think you're short of money. I just need someone like you who's short of money and has courage. Think about it carefully. I'll come back in an hour. If you don't want to, forget it."

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Even if Shi Qingqian wanted to help him, she couldn't just stuff the money into his hands.

In the end, it all depends on whether he has the courage and ability to do it.

Shi Qingqian turned to leave, and Xu Huaiguo gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Wait."

When Shi Qingqian heard Xu Huaiguo's call, she stopped, turned around, and looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Xu Huaiguo scratched his head and said hesitantly, "I want to know whether the source of these things is legitimate. I don't do anything illegal."

"Breaking the law?" Shi Qingqian smiled, "Are you abiding by the law now?"

Xu Huaiguo explained, "I can't wait. My...wife is sick, and I need to earn money for her medical treatment. I also need to raise two children and take care of my parents."

After hearing what Xu Huaiguo said, Shi Qingqian's heart moved slightly. She put away her smile and said seriously, "Don't worry, these things are definitely from legitimate sources..."
