After leaving the tenement, Jia Yue's purpose for this trip was to make money. She didn't have a single penny on her, so she took out a small piece of gold, intending to exchange it for some.

However, this item can only be traded on the black market.

The original owner had no memory of the black market. However, she found a few suitable locations for the black market from the original owner's memories. She planned to check them out, scout them out first, and then go there disguised next time.

Black markets are a product of their time, and while arresting them is necessary, most authorities turn a blind eye because resources are scarce and everyone needs to make a living.

Of course, it can't be done openly.

The location is secluded, suitable for exercise, and ideal for escaping.

Many hutongs in Beijing are perfect for running a black market. After all, these hutongs are interconnected, and even if someone is familiar with the terrain, they will not be able to escape because each one has a different exit.

Based on the original owner's memories, Jia Yue pondered for a while, checked several places, identified two locations with black markets, and then returned.

Back in the courtyard, she ran into Aunt Chen again. Upon seeing her, Aunt Chen hurriedly asked, "How are you? Is your head feeling any better?"

Jia Yue lowered her head, looking embarrassed, and said, "I realized I had no money halfway there, so I turned back."

Aunt Chen frowned and began to speak, but not to her, but to her father and her stepmother.

"Your parents are really something. The child has a headache, and I even saw blood! Not only did they not take you to the doctor, they didn't even give you any money for emergencies. I've never seen such heartless people..."

Aunt Chen muttered to herself, expressing her opinion and starting to complain about the parents.

When Jia Yue looked up again, her eyes were already red. Seeing this, Aunt Chen became more and more excited as she spoke, comforting her as she spoke: "Don't worry, when your father comes back, I will definitely have a good talk with him. You are his own daughter. Even if you are not his own daughter, he will take good care of you. It is unreasonable for him to mistreat his own daughter. If your father does not listen, your Uncle Wang is an old man in your father's factory. He knows a lot of leaders and will definitely stand up for you."

Jia Yue looked terrified: "Auntie, no, if my parents find out, they'll definitely beat me to death!"

As he spoke, he shook his head frantically, looking utterly pathetic!
