Half an hour later, Luo Yu walked out of the warehouse with a satisfied look on her face, like a cat that had stolen some fish, which made Sister Wang roll her eyes.

"Look at you, so pathetic! Is it really that big of a deal? It's just some defective goods that don't require coupons. Our store has plenty of those in the warehouse."

"How can that be the same? Apart from having my sister as a backer who can easily get defective products, who else can treat a store's warehouse like their own home, coming and going as they please?"

After being subtly flattered by Luo Yu, Sister Wang's smile deepened.

"Come on, you're all talk. You bought a lot today, are you sure you can finish it all?"

Luo Yu glanced at what was in his hand and nodded twice.

"Of course it can be digested. Sister, look at these two basins. They can be used as washbasins for making dough, and you also need such big basins to chop fillings, right?"

And this cotton... The quilt I'm using now is too thick. I want to make a thinner one when spring comes. Also, I'm getting married in a month, so I'll need to make two more.

And these pastries, even though they're broken, are really delicious. They're made with the best ingredients. Where else can you buy them without a ration coupon?

Although there isn't much yarn, only two pounds, and the colors are different, it's still enough to knit woolen pants or sweaters. If you can come up with a pattern, they'll all look good together.

Although it's not a particularly expensive wine, it's still better than bulk liquor, right?

These bottles of face cream are high-end goods from Shanghai; nobody can buy them. Sister, you should buy a few more bottles; they'd be good gifts even for the New Year.

Luo Yu bought seven more bottles of face cream and put them in her space. They would never expire, so she could use them whenever she wanted. It was a rare opportunity, and even if she bought more coupons, she might not be able to get them.

Not only these things, but also laundry detergent, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, and even two menstrual pads were bought.

Speaking of which, the original owner hasn't had her period yet, which may be related to her poor development and severe malnutrition. We need to be careful when she gets her period in the future, because she will definitely suffer after she does.

See? It would be best to find an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look. With the original owner's weak body, it might be difficult for her to have children in the future. She needs to take care of herself, otherwise it might affect her lifespan.

Sister Wang pointed to the wrinkled toilet paper that had been soaked in water and then dried, "I can accept anything else, but you can tolerate this?"

Luo Yu sighed, "What can I do? I just started working here and I don't have that many coupons. Even toilet paper requires coupons."

Luo Yu wasn't lying. Director Xu gave her the coal coupons, but not any other coupons. If she wanted to buy anything, she would have to find her own way.

Besides, in those days, how many people used toilet paper? Most people used old newspapers and notebooks that they didn't need. You had to have connections to get those; otherwise, you couldn't even use old newspapers, let alone sell them for money.

Sister Wang sighed as well, "That's true, you can't buy anything without a ticket. Alright, let's go eat."

Luo Yu couldn't possibly go to dinner with her, so she quickly waved her hand, "No, my little bit of dumplings isn't enough for the two of us. Sister, come with me to the state-run restaurant instead, it's my treat today."

Although their relationship is based on mutual benefit, it is not very stable and requires careful management. It's something that can be resolved with a meal, and Luo Yu isn't short of money.

Sister Wang waved her hand and said, "Let's wait until next time. My mother-in-law made meat dumplings today, and I've been craving them for days. We'll go out to eat together next time. Don't be stingy with the money then, little sister."

Luo Yu glared at Sister Wang reproachfully, "How could I? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Sister, if you're not going, I'm leaving. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Actually, even if Luo Yu wanted to treat her, she didn't have the necessary coupons. What could you eat at a state-run restaurant without food and meat coupons? You couldn't even get a bite. She was just being polite. If Sister Wang didn't take it easy, she would be completely lost.

Sister Wang waved her hand at Luo Yu, "Get lost and don't come back."

That's what she said, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Luo Yu didn't care about being scolded. He waved to Sister Wang and left gracefully.

After everyone left, Sister Wang took out the money that Luo Yu had secretly slipped into her pocket and glanced at it.

Five yuan easily went into her pocket. She only gave up two months' worth of allowance and earned five yuan. It was a good deal.

Luo Yu didn't go back to her workplace. When no one was around, she put her things into her spatial storage and then got into her car and headed straight for the Western Store.

When Luo Yu arrived, Li Kexin had gone to the warehouse to eat, so Luo Yu turned around and went to the warehouse as well.

"Oh, Uncle Li is here too? Let me see what delicious food you're having."

Luo Yu didn't act like an outsider at all. When she entered the house and saw Li Kexin's family of three eating around the stove, she went over to them.

Li Kexin smiled when she saw Luo Yu, and pointed to the braised fish in the lunchbox, saying, "Want some? My mom's braised fish is so delicious, the taste is absolutely amazing."

Luo Yu angrily reached out and lightly slapped Li Kexin on the back. "Are you trying to provoke me? You know I don't have a good relationship with mothers, so you envy you for having a good mother. You're showing off to us here."

Feng Minzhi watched the two bickering with a smile without saying a word, and exchanged a glance with Li Kexin's father.

Mr. Li stood up with a smile. "Luo Yu is here. Come and sit here. Kexin has been talking about you these past few days, saying why you haven't come to see her yet."

Luo Yu smiled and walked to the side, "Uncle Li, you can eat yours. I came here to return the cotton coupons."

As she spoke, Luo Yu stuffed a few cotton coupons into Li Kexin's hand.

Li Kexin frowned. "Where did you get those cotton coupons? Don't tell me you went to... You better be careful, that's a place you can't go! If you want to buy something, why don't you just come to me? Don't you even consider me a friend anymore?"

Li Kexin felt the cotton coupons in her hand were burning hot, but she couldn't return them now. She couldn't possibly go to the black market again, could she?

Luo Yu glared at Li Kexin, "What are you saying? How could I go to that place?"

"Let me tell you, I've started dating someone, and this is what my boyfriend gave me."

Luo Yu wasn't lying; it really was Xi Beizhan who gave it to her.

Because the two were preparing for their wedding, Xi Beizhan found a lot of tickets for Luo Yu and gave her 100 yuan so that she would have time to prepare for their new home.

She didn't take the money, but she accepted the tickets. There was no other way; she really needed tickets. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even taken the tickets, just in case they broke up and couldn't resolve the issue later.

A new quilt is a must for a newlywed couple, so Xi Beizhan exchanged more than a dozen cotton coupons with his colleagues and asked Luo Yu to make two more quilts and mattresses, otherwise the thick quilts wouldn't be enough to cover them when the weather got warmer.

Li Kexin's attention was immediately drawn to Luo Yu's boyfriend. She dropped her lunchbox, stood up, and hugged Luo Yu's arm.

"What? You're dating someone? Where are you from? What's your name? How old are you? Do you have a job? How much do you earn a month? What do you look like? Are his parents easy to get along with? Do you have any siblings? Oh, and do you have any ex-girlfriends? Also, do you have any childhood sweethearts? You'd better find out all of this, so you don't regret it later."

Luo Yu looked at Li Kexin, who kept asking her questions, with a smile on her face, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
