At noon the next day, Su Qing knew that her aunt would not be back home for lunch, so she took advantage of her aunt coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables in the morning and told her that she would go over to eat at noon.
She took two hours off, left the supply and marketing cooperative at ten o'clock, and arrived at her aunt's house at half past eleven. She was obviously in a very good mood and hummed a tune all the way.
An aunt met Su Qing who was about to knock on the door and greeted her with a smile, "Su Qing, are you here to see your aunt again?"
Su Qing was in a good mood today, so she smiled back generously, "Yes, I missed my aunt, so I came to see her."
The aunt raised her eyebrows, her eyes moved around her empty hands, and said with a smile: "You must come to see your aunt more often. Your aunt is really good to you. Knowing that you will come to dinner today, she went to buy some meat and bought your favorite sesame candies. Your aunt loves the egg cakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperative the most, and she couldn't bear to buy them." After saying that, she glanced at Su Qing's empty hands again, left a meaningful smile and walked away.
Su Qing was no fool, so how could she not understand the hidden meaning of her aunt? But why? She was a small salesperson, earning only 18 yuan a month, while her aunt was the group leader, earning over 100 yuan. It didn't make sense for someone who earned over 100 yuan to eat her who earned over 10 yuan.
Su Qing spat in the direction the aunt left, "It's no use meddling in a matter like a dog trying to catch a rat."
After knocking on the door, Sun Yuzhu ran to open it. When he saw Su Qing, he smiled and pulled her in. After Su Qing came in, he naturally gave her some insincere compliments.
"Jianping and Xueer are usually busy with work and don't have time to come home to see me. Fortunately, you are here and can come and talk to me from time to time. Otherwise, I would be bored to death."
Sun Yuzhu took Su Qing's hand and walked into the house. The food had already been served on the table, so the two of them just ate while talking.
Su Qing deliberately mentioned Song Yun's speculation.
Sun Yuzhu was puzzled, "Who said she was speculating?"
Su Qing said, "She's been buying and selling tickets. Everyone in the compound knows about it. I wonder if you haven't heard about it, Auntie."
The courtyard where Sun Yuzhu lived was right next to Captain Yan, and further away was Liang Weijun's home. It was close, so she knew it quite clearly.
"Well, that's all nonsense. Song Yun didn't buy or sell tickets. She traded them for things."
Su Qing frowned, unconvinced. "How is that possible? I heard it with my own ears. She was looking for people to buy tickets everywhere. She bought a lot. Isn't this just speculation? How could her elementary school brother afford so many tickets? He must be trying to exchange them for money on the black market."
Sun Yuzhu said, "It's not what you said. My neighbor Xu Li took five one-yuan bills and exchanged them for two kilograms of meat coupons from Song Yun. We all know this. Later, many people heard that they could exchange bills for meat coupons, so they all went to Song Yun to exchange them. She didn't go around looking for people; everyone heard about it and ran over on their own."
Su Qing's heart skipped a beat when she heard her aunt say that, but she then said stubbornly, "Even if she didn't resell, she must be reselling all these tickets."
Sun Yuzhu shook her head: "I don't know about that, but considering her family background, she shouldn't be able to do such a thing."
Su Qing was puzzled. "What kind of background does she have? Isn't she just a peasant from the countryside? What kind of background can a barefoot doctor have?"
Sun Yuzhu hadn't wanted to say it at first, but seeing Su Qing like this, she was afraid that if she continued to misunderstand, she would say something even more unpleasant to Song Yun, so she simply told her, "Song Yun was transferred from the countryside in Heilongjiang Province to our military region. But she's not a peasant, she's from Beijing. Her parents are both professors at Beijing University. Their family is very well-off. Just look at her and her brother and you'll tell. How could a country family raise such a beautiful girl?"
