Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Let's go, be careful," Grandpa Gao said once everyone had arrived.

"Then we're leaving, Grandpa, Grandpa Gao. We'll come to see you again in a few days." Liu Yan said goodbye to the two grandfathers with great reluctance.

"Okay, okay, be careful," Grandpa Liu reminded them again.

Gao Jianguo still held Shang Yanfang's hand, and Shang Yanfang, holding Liu Yan's hand, carefully walked back.

The two elderly people watched the group from afar in front of the cowshed until they could no longer see their backs before they went inside.

The two elderly people returned to the cowshed, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and took out the flashlight that Shang Yanfang had left for them.

Looking at the complete array of medicines inside, Old Gao couldn't help but say, "Yanzi has really grown up; she's prepared quite a comprehensive set of things for us."

"She's grown up and experienced more; Yanzi has become more sensible," Grandpa Liu said with a sigh.

If he could, wouldn't he also want his little granddaughter to grow up carefree?

Seeing his former friend and subordinate wallowing in self-pity, he said, "Old Liu, let me put some medicine on your bruises."

Although they weren't beaten, when those people had others throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at them, some of the uncivilized people threw stones instead.

Both of them had some bruises on their bodies.

"Okay, old boss, I'll apply the medicine for you later."

"Why call me 'Old Leader'? Just call me Brother Gao or Brother Gao." Old Gao strongly disagreed with Old Liu's overly polite way of addressing him.

"Okay, Brother Gao, be gentle, be gentle."

The two of them, who had been on tenterhooks for the past two days, finally felt relieved.

The three people who returned to the educated youth compound were not as optimistic as the two elderly people.

"Yanfang, will things get better?" Liu Yan looked at the dark road, as if she could see her own future, with no light, only endless darkness.

"It will be alright, hang in there. The darkest hour is often before dawn. We must believe in our country, and it will definitely get better and better." Shang Yanfang held Liu Yan's hand even tighter.

Liu Yan: "..." She seemed to see a beam of light.

Gao Jianguo, this little girl is so wonderful, I really want to hide her away.

The rest of the journey was completely quiet.

"Gao Jianguo, be careful on your way back," Shang Yanfang said to Gao Jianguo as he walked home alone after the man had brought her and Liu Yan back.

"You can go in now," Gao Jianguo said, waving his hand.

The man left, and the two of them cautiously walked towards the girls' dormitory.

"Where did you two go?" Wu Xiuli, who had gotten up in the middle of the night, asked curiously when she saw that the two looked like they had just returned.

"I was thirsty just now, so I asked Yanzi to come with me to the kitchen," Shang Yanfang said without batting an eye.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiuli lost interest and went back to sleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Liu Yan's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back into her stomach.

Shang Yanfang gave Liu Yan a reassuring look, then snuggled into bed, hugged the blanket, and fell fast asleep.

Liu Yan looked at the sleeping Shang Yanfang with great envy.

It's so good to be able to eat and sleep well.

Many people are destined to have a bad night.

Liu Yan from the educated youth compound, and two elderly people from the cowshed.

Monk Yanfang's biological parents.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds and shone down. Dawn arrived, darkness receded, and a new day began.

Liu Yan didn't sleep a wink last night, and she sat in the courtyard in the early hours of the morning.

Looking at the rising sun, her mood improved.

When Shang Yanfang and the others got up, she had already prepared breakfast.

"Yanzi, are you alright?" The easygoing He Lingling asked Liu Yan, who was serving rice.

Seeing the three people looking at her cautiously, Liu Yan smiled faintly. "It's alright, don't worry."

The other three breathed a sigh of relief and began eating the breakfast Liu Yan had prepared.

"We should be able to move into the house now!" He Lingling said, looking at the house she had paid for to build.

"Let's move today. I'll have my brother come over later to help us move the heavy stuff in," Shang Yanfang said with a mischievous smile.

"Achoo!" A loud sneeze rang out from above their heads.

The group turned their heads and saw Shang Guohua leaning against the door of her room, coldly watching them.

No, it was looking at Shang Yanfang alone.

Shang Yanfang kept her head down, her whole being screaming "You can't see me, you can't see me."

But Shang Guohua's gaze fell on her as if it were a tangible thing.

The air was silent for a minute.

Finally, Shang Yanfang could no longer bear the oppressive atmosphere.

She looked up at Shang Guohua and said, "Brother, when did you get here? Come and have some eggs, they're peeled."

Shang Yanfang fawned over her brother and handed him her eggs.

"Little sister, I've been here for a while, didn't you see me?"

"Ah...oh...no...no!" Shang Yanfang stammered.

"Is that so?" Shang Guohua looked at Shang Yanfang with a half-smile.

"Yes...yes...ah, I was so focused on eating that I didn't see it."

Shang Guohua: "..." If I hadn't been there, I almost would have believed your nonsense.

Seeing that her brother was about to say something, Shang Yanfang stuffed the egg in her hand directly into Shang Guohua's mouth.

Changing the subject, "Brother, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Wait a moment, I'll get you some."

After saying that, Shang Yanfang ran away in a flash.

Only Shang Guohua was left standing there with an egg stuffed in his mouth.

Seeing that his younger sister had run away, Shang Guohua had no choice but to take the egg out of his mouth.

My sister's love was so deep, it almost cost her her life.

"Little sister, you don't need to serve me any more, I've already eaten," Shang Guohua said, eating the egg his younger sister had peeled for him.

But inwardly, he sighed deeply: "What can I do? She's my own sister, so I have to spoil her!"

"Brother, if you don't eat it, Gao Jianguo can have it later, it's fine."

Shang Guohua heard his heart shatter into pieces, "crack, crack, crash."

At this moment, Shang Yanfang came out of the kitchen carrying a meal.

Shang Guohua took the bowl from his younger sister's hand.

Shang Yanfang thought her older brother was going to help her carry it.

To everyone's surprise, Shang Guohua picked up a large bowl of thin porridge and started eating.

"Brother, didn't you already eat?" Shang Yanfang looked at her older brother, who was wolfing down his food, with a bunch of question marks on her head.

"Um, I just got off at the road captain's house and I'm hungry again," Shang Guohua said apologetically.

"Brother, there's still some steamed bun left, you can have it!" Shang Yanfang handed a whole steamed bun made from two kinds of dough to her older brother.

Shang Guohua reluctantly accepted the steamed bun offered by the younger sister.

Shang Guohua: "..." This little sister is really giving me so much love today, it almost made me feel stuffed.

Shang Yanfang: "..." Poor brother, he must be having a hard time staying at someone else's house. He can't even get enough to eat.

The two siblings' amazing thought processes are truly astonishing.
