She later found out and regretted not selling enough, but by then she already had other ways to make money, so she just brushed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

The fat man wanted to take the ginseng away immediately.

But before he could, Shen Wu got it: "I won't sell it at this price!"

After saying that, he secretly poked Xu Yin with his arm.

The two of them didn't need to communicate; Xu Yin understood what she meant: "This ginseng beard, with this color and pattern, can't be grown without thirty years. Thirty is not enough."

As he said that, he poked Chen Wu again.

Chen Wu said: "Eighty, if you like it, I'll sell it to you, if not, I'll find someone else!"

Hearing the price she shouted, Lu Ye widened his eyes in the dark.

The fat man said, "No, that won't do. It's too expensive. It's equivalent to three months' salary for an average person."

"Good things are expensive. In the past, this was only eaten by the rich. It's worth it to spend less than three months' salary to eat something so nourishing." Chen Wu lowered her voice: "In critical moments, it can save lives."

The fat man used the flashlight to look carefully. He had collected a lot of things here, so he could tell what was good and what was bad at a glance.

This thing is really rare and it is never cheap.

But if you can lower the price, do so.

"The price is too high. Our place is small, and no one is willing to spend that much money on this..."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I'd better wait a little longer." Chen Wu pretended to put the things away.

"Don't worry, let's discuss it."

…

One of them raised the price while the other lowered it, and finally the price was set at sixty yuan. Sixty, ten yuan more than Long Yujiao sold it for. She and Xu Yin each got thirty, which was not a small amount at that time.

Chen Wu was excited in her heart but calm on the outside. She thought about it and negotiated with the dealer for a few more times before she finally made the deal.

It can't be too quick, otherwise the trafficker will think he gave her too much.

Take the money.

The fat man carefully put the things away, then looked at Lu Xuan and Lu Ye and said with a smile: "Usually it belongs to you two, this is, your roommate?"

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

He didn't say much. There was no need to be familiar with people in the black market, and being familiar with them would not be a good thing. After selling the things, Shen Wu pulled Lu Xuan's hand.

This was the first time Lu Xuan was held hands in public.

Still a woman.

Even though this woman was his wife, he felt a little uncomfortable and looked around. Fortunately, people in the black market came and went in a hurry and most of them only cared about themselves. They sold or bought things and left in a hurry.

Chen Wu scratched his palm and said, "I want to eat rice."

She hasn't eaten rice for several days.

There are places selling rice on the black market, but the price is higher, more than half higher than in the supply and marketing cooperatives. The good thing is that no tickets are required.

Xu Yin also wanted to eat.

"If she eats, I eat too."

Lu Ye was now used to his wife not losing to anyone, but not to her mortal enemy, the third sister-in-law, so he immediately said, "Buy, buy, buy!"

"Even if we buy it, how do we eat it? We all eat from a big pot. If we steam the rice, won't everyone know about it?"

This is indeed a problem.

Nowadays, if you make something delicious at home, not only will your family know about it, but outsiders will also want to try it out when they smell the aroma, so they have to do it secretly.

Chen Wu frowned, feeling regretful that they hadn't split up the family last time, but splitting up families was rare in rural areas nowadays.

"Then forget it."

Shen Wu finished speaking, her tone full of disappointment.

Lu Xuan held her hand and whispered, "You can buy some to take back, or else, come to the state-owned restaurant to eat."

Shen Wu thought about it and decided to give up. Eating rice is important, but it is also right to be cautious. "Wait for me to come to the state-owned restaurant to eat."

There were all kinds of things sold on the black market, mostly coarse and fine grains. Rice was not edible. However, Shen Wu did find someone selling tomatoes, which was almost unseen in this era.

The vendor sold six in total, each for ten cents, which was not cheap, but he saw her stop.

Lu Xuan bought them all.

Under Lu Ye's gaze, he gave him three more.

Lu Ye immediately lowered his voice to Xu Yin, showing off his treasure: "Wife, don't worry, I won't let you lose to my third sister-in-law."

Xu Yin...

Shen Wu...

Silently stretched out his hand: "Give me money."

Lu Ye gave the money promptly.

As for the vendor, he hardly communicated with them. He sold a few persimmons, collected the money, and left quickly.

Everyone here was very stealthy, and Chen Wu was no exception. She left with three tomatoes in her arms.

It’s just not far from the black market.

Xu Yin felt something was wrong and turned her head to look back twice. The person had already touched the arch of her back.

Lu Xuan pulled Shen Wu and said, "Someone is following us. Please stay away for a while."

Chen Wu also realized that they must have been targeted when they were selling ginseng. Sixty yuan is not a small amount of money nowadays. It is likely that someone wanted to rob them.

She wanted to look back, but she restrained herself, swallowed her saliva, and lowered her voice: "I'll stay away for a while and won't affect you."

Shen Wu said as she quickened her pace.

Immediately, the people behind also reacted: "Stop!"

Chen Wu ran even faster. Lu Xuan and Lu Ye were both men, Xu Yin knew how to fight and kick, and she was the only one who was good at talking. If she didn't run now, when would she run?

Lu Xuan and Lu Ye slowed down their pace, and Lu Ye did not forget to tell Xu Yin to run away as well.

But Xu Yin glanced at her man and said, "Am I the kind of person that Shen Wu is? I won't run away from the battlefield like her."

Lu Ye felt that this was not the time to fight, but it was too late as the people behind him caught up.

The man was short, shirtless, and had a fierce look in his eyes: "This is the territory of several of our brothers. Leave the money and I will let you go!"

As they were talking, other people followed, there were seven or eight of them. No wonder they dared to attack the four of them.

Someone looked at Xu Yin and laughed strangely, "You brought a woman here? Hehe, leave your money. This woman looks exciting. Let's stay and have some fun...!"

As he said this, he reached out towards Xu Yin's head, trying to tear off the clothes covering her face.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

In the quiet night, the man's teasing words turned into screams, and the sound of his wrist being broken was extremely obvious. It all happened so suddenly that even Lu Ye, who was about to pull his wife behind him, did not react, not to mention these thugs who did not take Xu Yin, a woman, seriously.

Holding the gangster's broken wrist, Xu Yin raised her long legs and kicked the man in the stomach.

It immediately flew two or three meters away, throwing up a cloud of dust, followed by a wailing sound of pain.

Lu Ye's eyes widened: "Fuck, wife, you are so amazing!"

The robbers finally caught on, and one of the leaders shouted, "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! Brothers, come on!"

The others surrounded him.

Chen Wu hid behind the wall, watching the people fighting. The book described that this era was not a utopia. In fact, because of poverty and lack of surveillance, thefts, robberies and even murders occurred at a much higher rate than in later generations. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried.

A bright light flashed, clearly heading towards Lu Xuan. Shen Wu's heart was in her throat.
