Xie Yan shook his head, "That's all. It was only with great difficulty that we managed to grow these chives."

Upon hearing this, the man looked down at the chives on the ground again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Give me ten pounds."

Since it's rare to find such fresh chives, we might as well buy more.

I wonder if there will be such good leeks again next time.

Yu Yue quickly weighed out ten catties of chives for that person.

Xie Yan was incredibly excited to have earned five yuan right after opening for business, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

But this was just the beginning. As time went on, Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui's leeks were quickly snapped up.

In just half an hour, all 100 jin of chives were sold out, earning a profit of 50 yuan.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the black market with a full haul. They didn't buy anything else from the black market, since they had all kinds of meat in their spatial storage and didn't need any.

The two walked along the street, their shadows stretched long by the dim streetlights.

Suddenly, Yu Yuehui keenly sensed something was amiss. Without making a sound, she pulled Xie Yan and quickly turned into a narrow alley.

With a serious expression, he said in a low voice, "There's a tail behind us. I'll deal with it later. You hide."

Xie Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly nodded.

He was once again thankful that he hadn't rashly come to the black market, otherwise he wouldn't have known he was being followed.

Beijing is truly a place where hidden talents abound; one could easily find oneself in danger if one is not careful.

Xie Yan carefully hid in the distance, barely daring to breathe, his eyes fixed on the direction of Yu Yuehui.

He could hear the sound of heavy objects falling over from time to time. Although he knew his wife was very skilled, he couldn't help but worry that she might get hurt.

The tense atmosphere weighed heavily on his heart like a dark cloud.

Finally, Yu Yuehui's figure appeared in the darkness. Xie Yan quickly stood up and asked anxiously in a low voice, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Yu Yue smiled and shook her head, saying nonchalantly, "A bunch of good-for-nothings, none of them can get close to me!" As she spoke, she mysteriously opened her hand, revealing a handful of banknotes.

Seeing this, Xie Yan couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Wife, we're getting more and more in sync. I didn't even say anything, and you already knew to make them pay protection money."

Yu Yuehui also laughed.

Actually, she had originally planned to leave, but then she suddenly remembered that Xie Yan had mentioned saving money to buy a house, so she thought she would give it a try. She didn't expect that this group of people were quite rich.

Those who go out to rob should be prepared to be robbed in return.

Under the cover of darkness, Xie Yan skillfully removed his and Yu Yuehui's disguises, including their platform shoes. Although they were still dressed as men, they were completely different people compared to before.

Yu Yue watched Xie Yan's practiced movements and thought to herself, "This guy must have done this kind of thing a lot. He must be involved in the black market back in his hometown."

I had suspected it before, and now it seems I was right.

Worried that there might still be enemies at the alley entrance, Yu Yuehui, without saying a word, picked up Xie Yan and, like a light swallow, nimbly leaped to the other side of the alley. This alley was equally dark and quiet, filled with a faint musty smell.

As soon as the two landed, they heard a strange sound coming from the darkness.

At first, Yu Yuehui thought it was someone's child crying. She immediately recalled the stories of lost children that she had heard in the village and instinctively wanted to go and see.

Xie Yan reacted quickly, grabbing her and saying in a low voice with a tense expression, "Don't go."

Yu Yue looked surprised and asked in confusion, "A child is crying?"

Xie Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "She's not a child." Then he pulled her along and hurried forward.

Yu Yuehui didn't react for a moment and didn't understand what "not a child" meant.

However, when the voice rang out again in a high-pitched tone, she instantly understood, and her cheeks flushed bright red, like ripe apples.

She grabbed Xie Yan and ran out of the alley like a startled deer.

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui set off early. The crisp, cold air, carrying a hint of winter chill, did nothing to dampen their spirits.

A few days ago, Zhang Cehan was so excited to hear that Xie Yan had returned that he insisted on taking him to see Grandpa Zhang.

Seeing his persistence, Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened to Old Master Zhang. But when she inquired, the reply was that the old man was in excellent health and everything was fine. Xie Yan was immediately dumbfounded. If there was nothing wrong, why did they need to call me?

What kind of family would like a doctor to come to their door for no reason?

Zhang Cehan seemed to see Xie Yan's doubts and explained with a smile, "There's nothing serious, but there is a small matter. My grandfather has suddenly developed a great appetite recently. You know, he's getting old, and we're all worried that eating like this might cause him harm."

After saying that, he added a special explanation: "It's not that we don't want the old man to eat more, it's just that we're worried about the food he eats."

Xie Yan waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then told Yu Yue in return before following Zhang Cehan to his house.

He was also a little worried about the elderly, as their digestive system weakens with age, and eating too much is not a good thing.

Upon arriving at Grandpa Zhang's house, Xie Yan took the old man's pulse and found that, just as he had said, the old man was still as vigorous as ever, in excellent health, and had absolutely no problems.

After asking carefully, I realized that the old man's increased appetite recently was actually due to his increased physical activity.
