Although I don't lack money right now, I can't let go of any opportunities to make money.

After changing her clothes, Lin Xiaoxiao went to Liu Yang's courtyard.

"Where is he?" Lin Xiaoxiao went in but didn't see Liu Yang.

"My brother's family member is in the hospital and won't be back for a while. If you have any goods, just contact me. I can make the decision," the younger brother said, puffing out his chest.

"I have a lot of goods here, including several hundred kilograms of rice and vegetables. Can you handle them all? Or will you give me cash and some meat and sugar coupons, like last time?"

"Sure, sure, I can make the decision. My brother has been nagging me these past few days, insisting that I listen to your requests. Shall we go to the same place as last time?" The younger brother looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eager eyes, his excitement rising at the thought of all the goods.

Everything this guy sells is fine; it's easy to sell. He made a lot of money on that last deal.

"Yes, the same place as last time, we'll be there in an hour." Let's get this over with quickly while the weather's still cool, so we don't get back all sweaty.

She thought about going to the black market to see if there was anything good she could send to her teacher.

She glanced at her outfit, and seeing that everything was alright, she went outside and saw a group of women surrounding her, looking around.

Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.

She took another look, uncertain. If she wasn't mistaken, that person was Sun Yue, right?

This person comes from a well-off family, so why is he on the black market?

Are you here to buy something? You came all alone? Didn't you have your assistant with you?

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked and made up her mind to follow. Perhaps because it was her first time in the black market, Sun Yue walked very slowly, constantly observing her surroundings.

Sun Yue was carrying a basket and dressed in unassuming clothes. Has this guy finally learned to be smart? He knows to keep a low profile now. To be honest, he's been quite well-behaved these past few months.

After following for a few minutes, Lin Xiaoxiao discovered that Sun Yue had already entered the entrance to the black market.

Lin Xiaoxiao was wondering whether she should report it. Then she heard a lot of footsteps behind her.

"Stop! All of you, stop right there..."

The people who had just gone in didn't care about anything else; they all took off running back as fast as they could, not even caring if their belongings were knocked over.

Uh... is this place going to be taken over by someone?

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly turned around, ran to a secluded spot, and went straight into the space.

Then I saw a lot of people running out of the alley, including people buying and selling things, people from the black market, and behind them were several men wearing red armbands.

Some familiar sellers and black market administrators quickly outmaneuvered those behind them, while some newcomers weren't so lucky.

I don't know if someone is deliberately trying to disrupt Liu Yang's black market, but quite a few people in red armbands came this time.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it and thought to herself, "Liu Yang is going to have to pay a hefty price this time."

After watching the excitement, Lin Xiaoxiao looked around for Sun Yue. Unexpectedly, Sun Yue was quite clever and had run to safety with the group.

Since the people in red armbands hadn't found her, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had originally wanted to trip up Sun Yue, thought that since she hadn't been caught this time, then so be it.

The main reason is that Sun Yue hasn't bothered me lately, and I'm too lazy to play pranks on her.

After leaving here, Lin Xiaoxiao carried a basket on her back and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. She walked around inside and her basket was filled with many more things.

Around the same time, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the dilapidated courtyard from last time and took everything out.

Not long after, the underling who had just been talking to Lin Xiaoxiao arrived with his men.

"Let's weigh them first, and we'll settle the bill later," the younger brother said happily, seeing the mess on the floor.

"As my brother said before, no matter what you bring, we guarantee we can accept it." This means that they have the resources, and with long-term cooperation, they definitely won't lose out.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I sensed it last time. My goods weren't fixed. Since I have them here, they must have come to you."

It's not open yet, so we still need to be careful with our words and actions; better safe than sorry.

Finally, with nearly 500 kilograms of rice, 300 kilograms of vegetables, and several boxes of daily necessities, Lin Xiaoxiao earned a considerable amount of money.

They received the money and left happily.

......

Days passed by, and everyone kept talking about the autumn harvest. Now the autumn harvest has truly arrived.

The day before the autumn harvest, Captain Wang convened a large meeting of the villagers.

"The autumn harvest starts tomorrow. During this period, no one is allowed to take leave. I'm talking about anyone. Anyone who can stand up must participate in the autumn harvest."

"Don't talk about how many work points you've earned. If you delay this important autumn harvest, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy."

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's been cloudless lately; no one can predict autumn weather. Whether it's sunny or rainy depends entirely on the heavens.

If the weather is good, it can last until after the autumn harvest.

But if the weather changes, and it rains, it will definitely be heavy rain. In that case, the amount of food you get will be whatever you get. Whether you can have enough to eat depends entirely on God's will. If you don't have enough to eat, you'll have nowhere to cry.

"The year before last, we encountered a severe drought. You all still remember how we survived those days. Today, we are fortunate to have a good harvest, so everyone must tighten their belts and work like crazy."
