Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"No rush, you should rest. We'll go after you've rested for a while," Shang Guohua said, looking at his sister who was panting heavily.

Shang Yanfang plopped down on a nearby rock. "Okay, huff... Big brother, huff... I'll rest... for a while. What did you do at the commune today?"

Seeing that his younger sister was about to rest, Shang Guohua also found a rock to sit on. "Today I went to the commune to call Dad, and then I met up with my comrades..."

"You called Dad? You told Dad about me and Gao Jianguo?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Shang Yanfang felt as if a bolt of lightning had just struck from the sky, and her vision went black.

Shang Guohua looked at the swaying Shang Yanfang and asked, "Little sister, are you alright?"

"I'm doing okay for now, I can eat and sleep well."

"Little sister, I didn't mean to. If Mom and the others find out you're dating and I don't tell them, the consequences will be dire."

Yes, he didn't do it on purpose; he did it intentionally.

"You...you...you're amazing." Shang Yanfang looked at her older brother's aggrieved face and changed the subject.

"Don't be angry, little sister. Your big brother also got you a cartload of coal. In winter, you can burn it with firewood; it will definitely last longer."

"Big brother, you're a really nice guy."

Looking at this older brother who would give a sweet treat even after being slapped, she felt a little helpless.

"Let's go back." After resting for a while, Shang Yanfang felt less tired and decided to get up and go back.

In the newly built house of the educated youth, the few people gradually put their belongings into the new house.

Now the girls eat separately.

The new educated youth cooked alone in the backyard, while the older educated youth remained in the front yard.

The two went directly to the backyard.

She noticed that the atmosphere in the backyard wasn't very good today; dinner was unusually quiet.

After dinner, Shang Guohua went back, and the remaining four sat there taking chestnut shells while waiting for nightfall.

Only Liu Yan was busy there, preparing to go see what her grandfather needed to get later.

The sun slowly set, and a few people sat in the courtyard waiting by the light of kerosene lamps.

"Lingling, Zhaodi, you two go back first. If anyone asks, remember to cover for us." She said, looking at the almost completely dark sky outside.

"Okay, you two be careful when you go later," Li Zhaodi instructed before pulling He Lingling back to the room.

Shang Yanfang's Liu Yan waited a while longer, until everyone at the educated youth settlement had fallen asleep, before tiptoeing out of the educated youth compound.

On the pitch-black path, the two dared not even use a kerosene lamp, and could only grope their way toward the cowshed in the dark.

Apart from the sound of their footsteps and the rustling of leaves, there was no other sound around.

"Kacha."

"Yanfang, did you hear anything else?"

"It seems like... I heard it." The two hugged each other in fear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me."

Shang Yanfang felt the voice was somewhat familiar and tentatively asked, "Jianguo?"

“It’s me, don’t be afraid,” Gao Jianguo said as he walked up to them.

"How did you come?"

"Didn't you tell me to come? I've been waiting for you at the entrance of the educated youth settlement for ages."

"Did I ask you to come?" Shang Yanfang scratched her head.

Forget it, never mind, let's go together. With a man's masculinity around, I doubt anything weird will come up.

Shang Yanfang consciously placed her small hand into the man's warm, large hand, letting him hold one of her hands.

With his other hand, he held Liu Yan's hand as she walked cautiously beside him.

"Do you know where the cowshed is?" Shang Yanfang asked in a low voice.

"Of course I know, don't you know?"

"Ah, I roughly know which direction it is. I've never been there."

"You! You dare to go there at night without ever having been there before." Shang Yanfang's reply made Gao Jianguo want to spank the girl again.

"Don't be angry, there's a swallow here, maybe she knows!"

"I...I...it seems like this is my first time going too," Liu Yan's voice rang out weakly.

Shang Yanfang vaguely sensed the man's murderous gaze.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Here, is there yours too? You surely know where the cowshed is, right? Right?"

"I don't know." Gao Jianguo thought he needed to teach this little girl a lesson.

Going to an unfamiliar place late at night, and not wanting him to come along, he's really got some nerve.

He was determined to teach the little girl a lesson this time.

"Gao Jianguo, you're the best, you're the best. Please take us there." Shang Yanfang realized she was wrong and could tell the man was angry with her.

"I don't know the way," the man's cold voice came again.

But the footwork was correct.

"Gao Jianguo, are you going to bring him or not? I'll get angry if you don't," Shang Yanfang threatened.

"Go ahead and be angry, I'm not taking it." Gao Jianguo still had that disapproving look on his face.

Seeing that neither her attempts to charm nor her threats worked, Shang Yanfang looked at the ground and ruled out the option of throwing a tantrum.

Her little brain was working at lightning speed when she suddenly tugged at the man's arm.

The man's body suddenly shortened slightly as he moved closer to her.

She went up to him, quickly kissed the man on the cheek, and left.

"Is this okay?" Shang Yanfang asked reluctantly.

Standing to the side, Liu Yan asked: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? Is this something I can watch without paying?

Gao Jianguo was delighted, and he pointed to the two thatched houses next to him.

"We've arrived. They should be here."

"This is it?" Shang Yanfang looked at the man in disbelief.

That's so mean! They even arrived and then tricked her into giving him a kiss. I'll definitely write that down when I get back.

"We've arrived," Liu Yan said excitedly.

'Oh no, Daddy's dead.' Shang Yanfang felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.

She's dead, Tai She's dead. Just now, it seems she kissed Gao Jianguo in front of Liu Yan.

Shang Yanfang turned her head and glared fiercely at the man.

However, the man didn't seem to see it.

Gao Jianguo actually saw it, but he thought it was normal for the girl to be shy after being kissed in front of others, so he let her glare at him.

Shang Yanfang glared at the man, then quickly took two steps to catch up with Liu Yan.

"Yanzi, we have to be careful later, and make sure we don't get discovered." Shang Yanfang was worried that the situation would get out of control, so she gave Liu Yan a heads-up.

"Okay, I'll control myself."

"Then I'll knock on the door," Shang Yanfang said when Liu Yan agreed.

"Okay, go ahead and knock," Liu Yan said slowly, taking a deep breath.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock."

Shang Yanfang gently knocked on the door in front of her.

An aged voice came from inside the door.

"Who?"

Upon hearing that long-lost voice, Liu Yan couldn't help but shed tears.

“Grandpa, it’s me,” Liu Yan said, her voice choked with emotion.
