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

Shi Qingqian looked at the sorted translation materials, her heart filled with loss and anxiety. The lack of more clues about Base No. 9 meant that their investigation had reached a deadlock.

But this is not something Shi Qingqian can take seriously.

After translating all the information and handing it over to Wang Zhiyong, her task was completed.

After taking a nap, Shi Qingqian went to town with the canned food she wanted to send to Xu Huaian.

After Shi Qingqian successfully sent the canned food to Xu Huaian at the post office, she quietly came to her yard in the town.

The scene in the yard made her nod slightly. There were indeed fewer things in the area used as a warehouse, which showed that Chen Guiwu and his team's new black market was doing very well recently.

Without staying for long, she turned around and went to the black market to look for Chen Guiwu.

The black market has become quite presentable, with a mysterious and tense atmosphere. People are rushing around, and transactions are quietly carried out under the seemingly calm surface.

Shi Qingqian moved through the crowd and soon found Chen Guiwu. When Chen Guiwu saw Shi Qingqian, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Sister, why are you here?" Chen Guiwu asked in a low voice.

Shi Qingqian frowned slightly, "I came to see how you've been doing lately. There are a lot fewer things in this warehouse. It seems like your business has been good recently."

Chen Guiwu chuckled, "Yes, sister, our new black market has been really prosperous recently. Everyone is very careful, so nothing has gone wrong."

Shi Qingqian nodded and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble or suspicious people?"

Chen Guiwu thought for a moment and said, "We haven't found any suspicious people yet, but we dare not let our guard down and have been very vigilant."

Shi Qingqian warned, "Be sure to proceed with caution. The situation is complicated right now and we can't make any mistakes. In particular, be aware of any unusual movements and notify me immediately if anything happens."

Chen Guiwu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, sister, we will be careful."

The two came to a house not far from the black market.

"What is this?" Shi Qingqian asked.

Chen Guiwu explained, "Sister, I bought this place not long ago as a place to stay. The other brothers have been wandering around the streets lately and they probably haven't come back yet."

Chen Guiwu led Shi Qingqian into the house and sat down

He pulled a ledger from a locked cabinet.

"Sister, this is the latest account. Take a look and see if it's correct," Chen Guiwu handed the account book to Shi Qingqian.

Shi Qingqian took the account book and carefully looked through the records on it.

Every transaction is recorded clearly, and the type, quantity, price and transaction object of the goods are all clear at a glance.

She couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling satisfied with Chen Guiwu's attentiveness and seriousness.

"Guiwu, everyone has worked hard during this period. According to our previous agreement, let's calculate the profits and settle the accounts once a month. If I don't come on time, the payment will be postponed," said Shi Qingqian.

Chen Guiwu nodded and replied, "Okay, big sister, business has been really good lately. After deducting the costs, we've made a lot of money. Let's split the profits 50-50."

Chen Guiwu began to explain the contents of the accounts to Shi Qingqian item by item. Shi Qingqian listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time.

After some careful calculations, the two determined the final profit amount.

"Sister, this is your share of the money," Chen Guiwu pushed the package in front of Shi Qingqian. "According to your request, I have tried my best to exchange the money for the "Four Olds". I've put the things under the bed in your room. You can take them away when you have time."

"Okay," Shi Qingqian nodded.

When I opened the package, it was full of money, but there was very little in the big unity notes. Most of them were just one yuan, one dime, and one cent. When piled together, they seemed like a lot, but in fact, the total amount was less than 3000 yuan.

"Guiwu, everyone has worked hard during this period, but we can't let our guard down. Although the black market business is good at the moment, there may be changes at any time," Shi Qingqian said in a serious tone.

Chen Guiwu nodded solemnly: "Sister, I understand. We will be more cautious."

Shi Qingqian thought for a moment and then said, "What else do you need? I'll go to the yard to restock it later."

Chen Guiwu said, "We've almost sold out of food and meat, but the weather's getting hotter lately, and I'm worried the meat won't keep well, so I'll just take 100 kilograms. The other three are selling very well."

"I'm planning to visit a few neighboring towns soon. I think I can sell more."

Shi Qingqian nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave you some more three rings and one turn."

Chen Guiwu looked at Shi Qingqian gratefully: "Don't worry, sister, we will do our best."

……

Afterwards, Shi Qingqian got up and returned to his yard, put the things under the bed into the space, and then replenished the missing goods.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw a man acting suspiciously outside the door.

Shi Qingqian's heart tightened and she immediately became alert.

She quietly approached the door and observed the sneaky person outside through the crack.

The man was wearing ordinary clothes, a straw hat, and a piece of cloth covering his face, so his features could not be seen clearly. Judging from his figure, he should be an adult man.

He looked into the yard from time to time, as if looking for something.

Shi Qingqian frowned. Could it be that someone had discovered the secret of this courtyard? Or was it someone connected to the black market?

She decided not to alert the enemy and wait and see what this person would do next.

The man wandered outside the yard for a while, then seemed to make up his mind and slowly approached the gate.

Shi Qingqian gripped the tools tightly in his hands, ready to defend himself if necessary.

When the man reached out to push the gate, Shi Qingqian suddenly opened it and asked sternly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man was startled and tried to run away in panic.

Shi Qingqian quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Don't run! Tell me why you are sneaking around here."

The cloth on the man's face fell off.

When she saw the man's face clearly, Shi Qingqian felt relieved, because the man was her eldest brother Xu Huaiguo.

Fortunately, she is wearing makeup now, otherwise her true appearance would be exposed.

"why you?"

Xu Huaiguo also saw Shi Qingqian clearly and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm here to pay back the money."

Last time, she gave Xu Huaiguo a batch of grain for free and asked him to sell it.

Shi Qingqian almost forgot about this matter.

Xu Huaiguo always remembered it, but because Li Yue needed money for medical treatment, he spent part of the money.

Recently he went hunting in the mountains and caught a lot of pheasants, rabbits and other animals to sell on the black market, and finally raised enough money.
