The second update is here! Are you ready?

We finally caught the first bus at 6:30. Since it was the starting station, only four people got on the bus, including Zhang Hongmei and her companion.

The two sat together, stepping on the snakeskin bag, and no one knew the huge sum of money they carried.

After a bumpy two-hour ride, we arrived in the city.

The two went directly to the municipal government station and got off. They carried their bags and waited for Liu Changhai outside through the security guard.

Liu Changhai was wondering who from his hometown had come. He was now the vice mayor, extremely busy with work, and hearing that he was being asked to go out made him realize that this was no small matter.

Upon seeing it was her eldest nephew, she exclaimed, "Aimin, what brings you here? Is something wrong with your grandma?" Looking at the bulging bags on their backs, she realized it wasn't her mother's business.

"Third Uncle, come here, I have something to tell you. Hongmei, you stay here and watch over the people."

The three walked to the middle of the courtyard. The uncle and nephew spoke in hushed tones, while Zhang Hongmei circled around them, mainly to see if anyone approached.

“Hongmei, right? You and your uncle go back to your home first. I know Zhang Xingguo’s home. I’ll go find you after I get off work at noon.”

"Yes, Third Master, I've prepared a meal and am waiting for you at home."

"Okay, Aimin, if you have nothing else to do, take Hongmei back home and then you can go home."

"Understood, Third Uncle. My grandmother has given the instructions."

"I'll have a car take you back."

Zhang Hongmei was initially unwilling, but considering the large sum of money she had, she didn't refuse.

Back home, Zhang Hongmei went to the kitchen and brought out all the rice, flour, oil, and seasonings from the storage space. She drew water from the well in the yard and returned to the house. "Uncle, I'll make pancakes right away. You can eat them before you leave."

"Middle, shall I use you?"

"No need, it'll be done in a moment. Uncle, please take all the money out and put it in that suitcase. It's inconvenient for me to carry two bags."

"middle."

Zhang Hongmei went to the kitchen to cook, and making pancakes was the most suitable option since there were no vegetables.

Liu Aimin ate a piece of cake in two or three bites, and stopped eating after five pieces.

"Hongmei, be careful, there's too much money."

"Don't worry, Uncle. I'll stay home and not go out. Someone will contact me."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Actually, Liu Aimin really didn't understand why his grandmother was so relieved about this teenage girl; she was the life of the whole village.

But he also knew that his grandmother would never joke about something like that.

Zhang Hongmei didn't cook anything else. When Liu Changhai came over at noon, it was the same meal again. People in politics are too shrewd. Actually, she really didn't want to deal with them.

Liu Changhai won't be here for another two hours, so I'd better hurry up and clean the house. Since I won't be gone for long, cleaning will be easy.

He swept the yard clean. Then he sat on the threshold and waited for Liu Changhai.

What I'm most worried about is transportation. If it's transported here, I'm afraid Liu Changhai will have someone monitor me, but there are no trucks in the space. How can I create a false impression?

Even after Liu Changhai arrived, there was still no clue.

"Third Master, please eat first. My eldest uncle left after he finished eating."

"Okay. Your decision is my decision. Don't worry, I won't ask for the source. I'll just wait for your message."

Zhang Hongmei felt a little more at ease after hearing Liu Changhai's words. However, she still had to maintain a facade.

"I understand, Third Master. Since Grandma trusts me, I can definitely do it. I'm only responsible for bringing the goods here; the rest is up to you, Third Master."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."

"Also, I'll let you know if they don't ship it here."

"Okay, just be careful. I'm heading back too. You can trust my driver."

"Yes, I'll let you know when the things arrive, but I'll only tell you, Third Master."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After Liu Changhai left, Zhang Hongmei returned to the house, put the suitcase into her spatial storage, and decided to find a way to get it to another place.

I wandered around the area in the afternoon, but there wasn't a suitable place. Zhang Xingguo's house was the best place. There were no neighbors around, and the nearest house was a kilometer away. But should I really stay here?

Zhang Hongmei was also undecided. After thinking for a while, she went to the suburbs.

I walked for about forty minutes from my house and saw an abandoned compound, probably some kind of factory. The gate was locked, and there were no other houses around. I didn't see anyone at all.

After thinking for a moment, he wondered if he should jump in and take a look. He looked around again, then a ladder appeared from the space. He slowly climbed up the wall, put the ladder away in the yard, and slowly went down.

This used to be a winery; I don't know why it was built here. The warehouse was spacious, but extremely dusty.

Such a large amount of grain must have been moved by many people, so it's hard to explain why no footprints were found.

This is a minor issue; I can clean the warehouse floor myself if necessary. However, it won't work if there are no tire tracks outside, as my space only contains my own car and no trucks.

It's almost four o'clock. Let's go out and find out who owns this place tomorrow.

I was looking at a few piles of corn cobs on my social media last night and I was worried. I need to buy some burlap sacks, and I can't have too few. I don't know if I can find any. I'll check the black market tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhang Hongmei put on makeup and went to the black market to find Sun Changquan.

"What does the comrade want?"

"Could you get me a thousand snakeskin bags?"

"Yes, you can get 15 cents each."

"Sure, what's the earliest?"

"Where to send it tomorrow?"

"At the entrance of that abandoned winery on the outskirts of the city."

"Can."

Who owns that distillery now?

"It doesn't belong to anyone, and the government hasn't taken it over. The owner went abroad to avoid trouble."

What time tomorrow?

"It's about 5:30 in the morning, too late and it'll attract attention."

"Okay. A deposit of twenty yuan."

Zhang Hongmei hadn't expected to get both things done in one trip. That evening, while cleaning the warehouse, she drove around the neighborhood in her car, leaving tire tracks.

I rushed home and prepared to stay indoors.

Zhang Hongmei felt that Liu Changhai should be notified ten days later, as this was not a small number of things.

I won't go over to clean it up tonight; I'll go the day before. In the afternoon, I'll go to the recycling station to buy a lock; I'll have to break the lock outside the distillery.

The next day at 4:30, Zhang Hongmei went to the distillery, pushing a cart. When she arrived, Sun Changquan was already there. She shone a flashlight on it and thought the quality was quite good. She gave him the remaining 130 yuan.

"If you can still get some, give me another two thousand."

"Sure, this spot and place. Two thousand snakeskin bags."

"yes."

Sun Changquan loaded the bag onto Zhang Hongmei's cart and pushed it away without saying goodbye.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Hongmei put the car away and went home.

I tried it out in the space, and a snakeskin bag can hold 100 jin (50 kg) of corn cobs.
