Chapter 197 What's wrong with your legs?

Luo Tian frowned and asked her, "Are you still going to sell these things?"

Luo Qiao nodded. "Otherwise, the money won't be enough. I don't want to live a hard life."

"Can……"

"Oh, it's okay, no one knows I'm doing this."

"As long as you don't say anything, no one will know about this."

Luo Tian: "..."

What else can she say?

She could only pray to God that nothing would happen to Luo Qiao, otherwise she would be the one reporting him.

On the day Luo Qiao came back, Wen Tang asked Chi Yue to help make a lot of sugar cakes, and also fried some small dough sticks and tofu balls. That afternoon, he took these things to the commune.

She limped to the commune to find Director Wang.

Director Wang was very surprised when he saw her limping over. "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Before Wen Tang opened his mouth, his eyes turned red.

But she tried hard to hold back her tears, raised her lips and smiled and said to Director Wang, "Director, I'm fine."

Director Wang didn't believe it, and held out his hand for her to sit down first, then said, "How can it be okay? Look at you, you walk with a limp."

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Wen Tang did not tell her what happened first, but put a full basket of fried cakes, fried dough sticks, and tofu balls that Chi Yue had fried on Director Wang's desk.

He lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the contents underneath, and smiled as he showed them to Director Wang. “I fried them at home, and they taste pretty good. I thought I’d send them here for you to try.”

In this age of oil and food shortages, the sight of freshly fried food is enough to make one drool.

What’s more, it was just out of the pot not long ago, still steaming and fragrant.

Even as a director, he couldn't help swallowing when watching it.

Wen Tang quickly asked Director Wang to taste the cake. "Director, please try this cake. My family fries it. It's so soft and sweet."

Director Wang looked at the basket full of steaming cakes, so he took a piece and took a bite. It was not only greasy but also sweet. "Mm, delicious. This cake is really delicious."

Wen Tang put the basket in front of Director Wang again, "I didn't fry much this time, I just brought it here for the Director to taste."

"If the director likes it, I'll ask my family to fry more next time."

Director Wang looked at the basket that was pushed in front of him, and after thinking about it, he decided not to refuse.

But the topic turned to Wen Tang's limping leg, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"You seemed fine the other day."

Wen Tang pulled up his pants and said, "It's my bad luck. I saw an educated youth reselling things. She was probably afraid that I would report her, so she went and falsely accused me first."

As she finished speaking, the bruise on her knee just showed.

It's been several days, but the bruises on my knees are still scary, which shows how serious the injury was.

Director Wang stuffed the last bit of the cake into his mouth, wiped his hands, and reached out to touch the bruise. Seeing Wen Tang frowning and enduring the pain, he also frowned, "Why is it so serious?"

Wen Tang tried hard to smile. "It's much better now. The people above me thought I was really speculating, so they were a little harsh on me."

Director Wang frowned and said, "These people..."

"Where is that educated youth?"

"I falsely accused you, is everything alright?"

Wen Tang put down his pants and shook his head. "No, he was taken away, but he seems to have come back today."

"How many days? Just coming out?" Director Wang stood up and poured some water for Wen Tang.

"It seems like five days!"

"Didn't you tell those people that the educated youth was reselling and speculating?"

Wen Tang took the water, opened her big watery eyes, and looked innocent (clearly stupid). She shook her head and said, "I don't have any solid evidence. I'm afraid they won't believe it."

"Haven't you seen it?"

"Yes, I really saw her. She was selling things to people in the county town."

Director Wang said, "That's it."

"Just go and tell them, and then let them recognize me. Then their people will keep an eye on me."

"Really?" Wen Tang still looked stupid.

Director Wang thought about it and said, "Forget it. I'll say hello to the people over there later."

"By the way, what's her name?"

"Luo Qiao, the educated youth who was sent down to our place."

"They caught me a few days ago, so they should have some impression of me."

"Okay, I'll make a note of that."

"Thank you, Director. You are always nice to me."

Director Wang laughed and said, "I can't eat all your food for free!"

As expected, those in officialdom are all shrewd people.

People saw through her plan at a glance.

However, they are still willing to help her even after seeing through her, which means that she is still somewhat likable, or in other words, she still has some value to be used.

Wen Tang never rejects others' emphasis on her interests and values. After all, what people value when interacting with each other is the value of interests.

The value of money is that it can give each other emotions, which is also a kind of exchange of interests.

After hearing what Director Wang said, Wen Tang went home in a good mood.

As soon as she walked out of the commune gate, her legs healed automatically. She no longer limped or limped.

Luo Qiao still doesn’t know what Wen Tang did in private. She only knows that she was badly hurt by Wen Tang, and she must work hard to strengthen herself so that she can take revenge.

She had just been released and was unwilling to work, claiming to be sick and unwilling to go to the fields. Xu Zhongguo didn't even ask a question and just pretended that she didn't exist.

Unable to work in the fields, and after a day's rest, Luo Qiao still had the strength to run to the county town.

Luo Tian still felt uneasy, so she couldn't help but persuade her, "Qiao Qiao, why don't you wait for a while before making a decision?"

Luo Tian always felt that it was too risky for Luo Qiao to go to the county town at this time.

Luo Qiao didn't care. "Don't worry, they are all my regular customers. Besides, I'm very cautious and no one knows I'm doing this."

"Will you come with me?" she invited Luo Tian.

Luo Tian thought about it and shook her head, "I won't go."

Luo Qiao said, "It's up to you. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back in the evening."

"I was locked up and ate cornmeal steamed bread for a few days. I almost vomited."

Luo Qiao insisted on going out.

Ride a tractor to the county town.

She was indeed quite cautious. She first walked around the place where she had done the work, and finally she dared to take out a bar of soap from her bag and shook it.

This is a sign that she is selling smuggled goods, and she learned it from observing others.

Soon, someone wearing a hat came over quietly and asked, "How much?"

the man asked in a low voice.

"50 cents!"

"Are there any more?"

"Um?"

"Can I get a discount if I buy two more?"

"I'll give you a two-cent discount. How much do you want?"

“Three!”

"have!"

Luo Qiao said as he turned over his bag.

"Bang!"

“Bang!”

Luo Qiao was pushed to the ground by a backhand, in the same position as Wen Tang that day, and her knee also hit hard.

The contents of the bag clanged and scattered all over the floor.

Soap, shampoo, hairpins...a lot of miscellaneous things.

Soon two more people ran over, and two of them held Luo Qiao's arms on the left and right, and the remaining one picked up all the things and took them away.
