Luo Qiuping figured that since life in the village was already depressing and no one paid attention to her at the educated youth settlement, she might as well go to the black market to earn some money.

When she went to deliver the message last time, she met an old lady by chance. The old lady saw her drooling over the steamed buns and said she could help her make money. The old lady told her that as long as she was bold enough, she could make money.

Luo Qiuping was tempted, thinking that earning some money to improve her life would be a good idea.

The old woman asked Luo Qiuping to help sell things. The old woman promised to give her 20% of the sales, on the condition that she wouldn't implicate the old woman if she was arrested. Luo Qiuping agreed.

She did indeed reap the rewards, selling quite a few things with the old lady, and in the end, the old lady gave her thirty yuan.

Making so much money in one go, Luo Qiuping felt a surge of excitement as she held the money, thinking that she could do this often in the future, and that selling things was better than doing farm work in the village.

This time, when Luo Qiuping went to the brigade leader to get a letter of introduction, the security guard didn't want to approve it at all. But then he thought about it and decided not to stop her from going to town. He just hoped that she wouldn't cause any more trouble.

Luo Qiuping took the letter of introduction back to the educated youth settlement, packed her satchel, and then left the brigade.

What Luo Qiuping didn't know was that no sooner had she left than Xiao Dongmei borrowed a bicycle from Zhuang Zhimeng and followed her, hoping to find some dirt on her.

Xiao Dongmei pushed her bicycle and followed Luo Qiuping to a courtyard. She saw Luo Qiuping knock on the door, exchanged the secret code, and then an old woman opened the gate.

It was obvious that the woman who opened the door knew Luo Qiuping, because she warmly welcomed her inside.

Xiao Dongmei was wondering who this person was and how he knew Luo Qiuping.

Luo Qiuping and the old woman came out again with baskets on their shoulders. Xiao Dongmei quickly turned her back and pretended to check the bicycle.

Luo Qiuping was so engrossed in talking to the old woman that she didn't pay any attention to anyone else, and was completely unaware that Xiao Dongmei was watching her.

Xiao Dongmei carefully followed behind them, pushing her bicycle at a safe distance, wanting to see what they were up to.

It turned out they had entered the black market.

It was quite a coincidence that Xiao Dongmei knew this was a black market.

When Xiao Dongmei first arrived in the countryside, she didn't know any place and got lost in the town, not knowing which way to go. She ended up in the black market by accident.

Someone stopped her at the door and asked if she was buying or selling. She quickly shook her head and said she had gone the wrong way, without daring to look any further.

She was certain that this was the black market she had come to.

After they went inside, Xiao Dongmei turned around and rode her bicycle towards the Red Armband team. She sneered, thinking, "Now I can get my revenge! Let's see how you explain yourself this time!"

Instead of foolishly delivering the letter directly, Xiao Dongmei wrote a note with her left hand and had a child deliver it.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dongmei rode her bicycle back to the brigade as if nothing had happened, without waiting to see Luo Qiuping's result, though it probably wasn't good!

Xiao Dongmei's guess was correct. When the Red Armbands received the note from the child, they initially thought it was a prank. However, upon opening it, they realized that someone had passed on a message to them, and they immediately sent people to arrest the person.

This time, no one in the black market received any advance warning, and they were all arrested. They were definitely involved in speculation and profiteering!

After returning home, Xiao Dongmei specifically sought out Zhuang Zhimeng to thank her.

"Zhuang Zhiqing, thank you for your bicycle and the letter of introduction. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get to town!"

Zhuang Zhimeng waved her hand.

"It's nothing. It's just that we both have a grudge against the same person. Since you've come to me, there's not much I can do but help you with a small favor."

Xiao Dongmei nodded.

Zhuang Zhimeng suddenly looked at Xiao Dongmei with a curious expression.

"What happened when you went to town with her? Did you catch her doing anything wrong?"

Xiao Dongmei whispered it in Zhuang Zhimeng's ear.

Zhuang Zhimeng was very satisfied. This is the fate that bad people deserve!

"Now you should be laughing, you've finally gotten your revenge!"

Xiao Dongmei nodded and smiled knowingly.

For the past few days, Xiao Dongmei had been thinking about revenge. She thought of several methods, but none of them were suitable. The key was that she couldn't bring her down!

Suddenly, Xiao Dongmei thought of Zhuang Zhiqing. She had already found out that Luo Qiuping had been arrested and imprisoned for several months because of Zhuang Zhiqing. So, among the educated youth, Zhuang Zhiqing was probably the one who got along the most with Luo Qiuping.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Xiao Dongmei came directly to find Zhuang Zhimeng.

She stated her purpose directly.

"Zhuang Zhiqing, I've come to ask you for advice on how to deal with Luo Qiuping. Can you give me some ideas?"

Zhuang Zhimeng pointed to herself and asked her uncertainly, "You're asking me? Are you sure?"

Xiao Dongmei nodded affirmatively.

"I'm sure! You inspire confidence in me. Go ahead and tell me, I feel I can trust you!"

Zhuang Zhimeng felt a surge of pride. Hehe, she thought to herself, "I'm so great! Everyone trusts me. It feels so good to be affirmed!" Since Xiao Dongmei trusts her, she'll give her some advice!

Zhuang Zhimeng beckoned to Xiao Dongmei with her finger.

"Come closer, I'll tell you."

Xiao Dongmei moved closer to Zhuang Zhimeng and listened to her whisper about her plan.

"Like this, like this, and then like this, you get it!"

Xiao Dongmei became happier and happier as she listened, feeling that she had really chosen the right person.

“Zhuang Zhiqing, I understand your plan and I think it’s great. The problem now is how I get to town? Luo Qiuping must have a letter of introduction to get to town.”

Zhuang Zhimeng told her.

"That's easy, I'll lend you my bicycle."

Moreover, since I frequently went to town, the brigade leader felt it was troublesome to issue a letter of introduction each time, so he gave me several blank letters of introduction with the official stamp and told me to fill them in myself.
