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

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."

"You don't have to worry about me lying to you. After all, if something happens to you, I can't get away, right?"

"Don't worry about that. If I was arrested because of my own fault, I would definitely not implicate you." Xu Huaiguo was still a little worried. He frowned and said, "But I want to know, why didn't you look for someone else, but came to me?"

Shi Qingqian sighed and said, "Didn't I just say that I need someone who is short of money and willing to work for me? I'll give you as much as you can sell."

Xu Huaiguo was silent for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, then I'll do this deal with you."

"Fortune and honor are achieved through risk. You are quite courageous," Shi Qingqian nodded. "Take your things and follow me."

Shi Qingqian took Xu Huaiguo away from the black market, and under the cover of night, the two walked towards the town.

Along the way, Xu Huaiguo's heart was full of anxiety. He didn't know where this woman came from, nor did he know whether this decision would be a blessing or a curse.

They came to the house that Shi Qingqian bought in town.

Shi Qingqian opened the gate, led Xu Huaiguo into the yard, and then pushed open the door of the house.

Xu Huaiguo walked into the house, and with the faint moonlight, he saw some bags of grain neatly placed in the house.

He looked at the food in surprise. Although the quantity was not much, it was a life-saving treasure for him at the moment.

Shi Qingqian said softly, "Here are 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour. You can sell them first."

Xu Huaiguo awkwardly took out the scattered nine yuan and seventeen cents from his pocket and said, "I... don't have that much money to buy all this food."

Shi Qingqian had expected this, after all, Xu Huaiguo had not yet returned the 50 yuan he borrowed from her last time.

"Well, since you like me, I'll give you the stuff on credit. You can pay me when you're done selling it. But this is just once."

"Don't think I can't find you. Money makes the world go round, and the last thing I lack is money."

Xu Huaiguo looked at Shi Qingqian gratefully, his throat choking as he said, "Don't worry, my home is in Xiangyang Village. I'm the captain's nephew. My name is Xu Huaiguo."

He took the initiative to reveal his identity, hoping to dispel the person in front of him who thought that he would not pay back the money and would just run away.

"Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."

Shi Qingqian nodded slightly, without much emotion in her eyes: "I remember your name, I hope you won't let me down."

Xu Huaiguo gritted his teeth and said seriously, "Although I am poor, I also know the importance of honesty and trust. I will sell these grains as soon as possible and hand the money over to you."

With Shi Qingqian's permission, Xu Huaiguo carried 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour on his shoulders and left the yard under the cover of night.

……

After Xu Huaiguo left, Shi Qingqian stood in the yard for a while, looking at the empty doorway. Her slightly furrowed brows showed that she was thinking about something.

After a moment, she turned around and walked into the space, disguised herself again, and soon, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face and plain clothes appeared in front of the mirror.

Shi Qingqian wrapped her slightly worn clothes around her body and quietly walked towards the black market under the cover of night.

The black market is located in a remote corner of the town, surrounded by a complex and mysterious atmosphere.

She came to the hidden little door and saw two guards leaning against the wall bored.

Shi Qingqian deliberately lowered her voice and said in a hoarse voice: "Two young men, I want to see your boss."

The two younger brothers heard the sound, turned around, and looked up and down at the middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared.

One of the younger brothers frowned, his tone full of disdain: "Who are you? Our boss is someone you can see whenever you want. Stop making trouble here and leave quickly."

Another younger brother also echoed: "That's right, don't you consider your status? Don't waste our time here."

Shi Qingqian lowered her head slightly, not angry at their words. She slowly unpacked the package she was carrying.

The two younger brothers looked at her movements suspiciously, and when they saw the white rice, flour and fresh meat sticking out of the package, their eyes widened instantly.

"This... this is..." The younger brother who had a look of disdain on his face just now began to stutter.

Shi Qingqian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her voice still hoarse: "I'm here to do business with your boss, these are just a small gift."

The two younger brothers looked at each other, and the contempt in their eyes was immediately replaced by greed.

"You wait here, we'll go inform the boss," a younger brother said hurriedly, and then the two of them ran inside like the wind.

The person who stayed behind looked at Shi Qingqian and couldn't help but frown. Finally, he reminded her, "You'd better leave quickly."

Shi Qingqian raised her eyes and looked at him: "Why?"

"My house... Anyway, you should leave now before anyone else comes. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"If you have good things, why don't you keep them hidden? Why take them out?"

The man advised anxiously.

But Shi Qingqian had no intention of leaving. Instead, she asked him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chen Guiwu," the man answered subconsciously.

At this time, the younger brother hurried back and said flatteringly: "Big sister, our boss agreed to see you, come with us."

Seeing this, Chen Guiwu stopped talking, as it was too late to say anything.

Anyway, he had already reminded her that there was nothing he could do even if she didn't believe him. He just didn't know if this woman had the ability to escape from their boss's hands unscathed.

Shi Qingqian nodded slightly and followed them into the depths of the black market.

In a dimly lit room, a burly man with a fleshy face was sitting on a worn chair. He was Qin Hui, the boss of the black market.

Qin Hui's eyes were sharp as he stared at Shi Qingqian who walked in, as if he wanted to see through her.

Shi Qingqian stood there neither servile nor overbearing, and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss Qin, I've long heard of your great name."

Qin Hui frowned and spoke in a low and dignified voice: "Don't beat around the bush with me. Tell me, what is your purpose and where did you get these supplies from?"

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Boss Qin, I'm a businessman. You don't have to worry about the source of these supplies. I'm here to discuss a big deal with you."

Qin Hui sat up straighter, a hint of greed in his eyes: "Oh? Big deal? Tell me about it."

Shi Qingqian lowered her voice and said, "I still have a lot of food and other scarce supplies. As long as you are sincere enough, Boss Qin, we can have a long-term cooperation."

"What I want is very simple, just the four old antiques. As long as you can produce antiques that satisfy me, I can provide you with a steady supply of food and other supplies."

Qin Hui was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
