Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Manyue took the old lady to a hidden alley and disguised herself first.

After a disguise, Xu Manyue became a plain middle-aged woman, and the old lady became an ugly hunchbacked old man.

Now they are a poor father and daughter from a nearby brigade. They save eggs every month and sell them on the black market in exchange for food.

Xu Manyue took the old lady around the black market, took a walk around to familiarize herself with the route, and whispered in the old lady's ear.

"Dad, remember, if we get separated in the chaos, remember, put your own safety first. Run where there's a way, and I'll find you."

The old lady was hunched over, leaning on a cane, her eyes rolling around as she watched the surrounding scenery, and she was speaking in a low voice, looking just like a hunchbacked old woman.

"Don't worry, my dear. Your father is very smart."

It has always been Wang Wanhua who cheated others, never anyone else cheated her.

Soon, the two saw the disguised Shen Lao Da and Shen Lao Er entering the black market.

The time for the agreed transaction passed little by little.

Xu Manyue secretly took out her watch and looked at the time. It was half past four, so she could go in.

She held the hunchbacked old man with one hand and walked into the black market with a gray cloth basket in the other.

After entering.

There were quite a few people setting up stalls inside, and quite a few people buying things.

Xu Manyue observed calmly and found that there was basically no food on these stalls. Most of them sold items. Occasionally, there were stalls selling food, but the prices were ridiculously high.

In the corner, a swollen man with a pale face secretly cast his eyes on Xu Manyue's basket.

In a trance, he smelled the scent of eggs and couldn't help swallowing.

He had been observing the hunchbacked father and daughter for a long time since they came in.

There must be something good in the baskets of these two people.

the other side.

The old lady was also looking around and accidentally caught a glimpse of the swollen man hiding in the corner.

In an instant, her eyelids twitched wildly and a bad premonition came to her mind.

The old lady secretly tugged at Xu Manyue's sleeve and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Oh no, someone is watching us from the corner on the east side."

Xu Manyue's body stiffened. She suppressed the urge to turn around and asked in a low voice.

"Calm down first, don't show any strangeness. We are selling things, and we should find a buyer first."

When encountering danger, the most taboo thing is to panic.

The old lady nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't panic, don't panic. You've seen everything in your life."

She turned around and casually pulled a passerby, "I have eggs here, do you want some?"

The man who was held back was about to curse, but when he heard these words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at the hunchbacked old man as if he saw his own father.

"You... you really have eggs?"

Xu Manyue walked over, put the basket in front of the man, and secretly lifted a corner of the gray cloth, revealing a little bit of grayish-white eggshell.

Zhou Long was very excited, but he still knew the rules of this black market. If he got something good, he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise he would be targeted.

He looked around first, but didn't see anything unusual. Then he asked, "How much is one egg?"

The old lady was about to say eight cents each, but Xu Manyue hurriedly spoke before her, "Twenty cents each, no bargaining."

After hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that the man had no unusual reaction, she instantly understood that this was the normal price.

She tugged at Xu Manyue's clothes and said, "You silly girl, our eggs are bigger than others. You can't buy them like this."

The old lady turned to Zhou Long and raised her fingers to make a three. "At least this number."

Sanmao?

Xu Manyue was stunned. They had just sold ten eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative for only fifty cents, but now the old lady was asking others for thirty cents for each egg.

Just when she thought this man would just leave.

Unexpectedly, he nodded without hesitation, "No problem, I'll take as much as you want."

In this year of famine, money is of no use. Food is the most important thing, especially for his son, who hasn't eaten a boiled egg for a long time.

The old lady smiled brightly and quickly snatched the basket from Xu Manyue's hand and handed it to Zhou Long. "I have five eggs here. I'll buy them all for you. A total of one dollar and fifty cents."

"I don't want the basket anymore, I'll give it to you."

Zhou Long nodded readily, took out a dollar and a half from his pocket and handed it to the old lady. "Next time you need eggs, just come to me. It's still the same price."

After saying that, he quickly left the black market with the things he had just bought.

Xu Manyue stood aside and pretended to glance casually at the corner of the wall on the east side.

There was no one there. It seemed that the man was simply eyeing their baskets.

Now the basket is gone and the man is gone.

She supported the old lady and said, "Mom, the person is gone."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and guessed what the man was thinking.

Xu Manyue whispered, "Mom, now we are the ones buying things. Let's walk around here and look for food."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, acting is her specialty."

But in an instant, the image of a hunchbacked old man searching for food in the black market came to life.

Xu Manyue’s portrayal of an ordinary middle-aged woman is also very lifelike.

Slowly, the two of them walked through most of the black market and finally arrived at the place where Boss Shen and his men were doing business, a closed and dilapidated house.

Xu Manyue looked at the time. It was less than ten minutes until five o'clock in the afternoon. Boss Shen and his two brothers had been in there for almost an hour, but they had not come out yet.

The old lady was anxious and tugged at her sleeve. "Are they really in trouble?"

It should have come out long ago, why hasn’t it come out yet?

Xu Manyue patted the old lady's back gently and said, "Don't panic. There are still eight minutes until the time we agreed on."

"If Big Brother and the others still haven't come out after eight minutes, we'll use the food here as bait to lure all those people buying food on the black market into this room."

"Big brother will definitely be able to escape during the chaos then."

The old lady's eyes lit up instantly. Yes, why didn't she think of it.

With the power of the two of them, it is indeed difficult to find an opportunity to find out what is going on inside.

However, by taking advantage of everyone's desire to buy food and guiding them to rush in, the black market will definitely be temporarily disrupted.

Xu Manyue sighed and continued, "However, this method also has certain risks. You must be careful not to expose yourself. After successfully creating chaos, you must run out immediately and never let anyone see you."

The black market is not unmanaged. Once chaos arises, someone will always look for the source.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, this mother is good at it."

She is the one who often causes trouble in the entire team, and she can always lead the Shen family away safely. She definitely has experience in this matter.

Xu Manyue shook her head and said, "Mom, this time is not like in our team. Remember, you must be careful not to be discovered."

Those in the team were just minor fights, today is the highlight.

The old lady nodded repeatedly with a smile, like a chicken pecking at rice, "Don't worry, don't worry, mother understands, mother understands."
