Time passed peacefully day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. With the arrival of autumn, the temperature dropped significantly.
The work was hard during this period, so the team arranged a day of rest. Yun Huaying and the others went to the county town together. Grandma Han also wanted to buy some cotton cloth to make two sets of winter clothes for her husband and grandson, so she made an appointment to go with them.
Yun Huaying had a lot of things to do today, so she separated from them when she arrived in the county town. She first went to the credit union with the remittance slip that Han Zheng had brought back for her two days ago.
In order to get the map in her hand, Zhang Sheng readily transferred 5,000 yuan to her. She came here today to collect the money.
With the certificate given to her by Han Zheng, the staff at the credit union did not ask much about the source of this huge amount of money. After she withdrew the money, she did not deposit it in the credit union, but put it directly into the space.
Last week, she made a small profit of one thousand yuan by trading medicinal herbs and food with He Jun. She also put all the money in the space to prevent others from taking advantage of her privileges to check her deposit records.
After accepting Zhang Sheng's money, things must be done well.
Fifteen minutes later, Yun Huaying came out of the post office. She had not only mailed the fake map to Zhang Sheng, but also mailed the second series of works they had recently been working on to the newspaper, as well as the preliminary translation manuscript that Han Zheng had arranged for her.
After finishing these things, Yun Huaying changed her clothes and went to the Hegang black market.
He Jun was still selling pork at his stall. Seeing her coming, his eyes lit up. "Are there any good goods today?"
"Not today."
There is actually quite a bit of inventory in the space, but she is too lazy to clean it up today and plans to come back next week to sell them together.
Hearing that there was no product, He Jun's face showed a bit of disappointment. He whispered to her with a smile on his face, "The goods you sent before were so popular that they were all bought at high prices. We only cooked a few eggs for ourselves and didn't keep any of the others."
"Are they all sold in the county town?" Yun Huaying asked him.
"No, only scattered items are sold in the county town. Large quantities of grain and medicinal materials are transported to other places through the port." He Jun had not known her for long, but he trusted her character, so he told her the truth.
Yun Huaying understood and didn't ask about the whereabouts of the food and medicinal herbs. She just wanted him to be able to eat a large amount of goods.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw two familiar figures. She moved slightly and pulled down her hat and hair without leaving a trace.
He Jun noticed her movements and looked in the direction she had just looked. Seeing that it was Yao Dachun, he smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, I was beaten so badly by you guys before, and now I can come out."
Yun Huaying was wearing different clothes today than last time. She wasn't afraid of Yao Dachun recognizing her, but she was afraid that Liu Xiu, who was standing next to him, would recognize her. She lowered her head and pretended to chat with him: "Little ghost, do you know the woman next to Yao Dachun?"
"I heard from my brother that she is Yao Dachun's cousin. I heard that she is working as an educated youth in a brigade under Yang County."
He Jun glanced at Liu Xiu again and saw that she was carrying a basket filled with hairpins and hair bands that lesbians liked. It was obvious that she was also selling goods. She continued, "I heard that my cousin Yao Dachun is an illegitimate child who is not allowed to be seen in public."
Yun Huaying: "...illegitimate child?"
These days, it is still relatively rare for men and women to have extramarital affairs and have illegitimate children. She would show a look of surprise, but He Jun did not think it was strange. Since no one came to buy meat, he told her what he knew with great interest.
"I have a friend who was drinking with Yao Dachun's companion. He was drunk and told the truth. He said that Yao Dachun's aunt got pregnant out of wedlock because she had an affair with a married man and gave birth to a daughter."
"The married man was an official, and the Yao family used their daughter to force him to divorce. But the man's wife was not a pushover. Her family was very well-connected, and Yao Dachun's aunt was no match for her."
"The legal wife also arranged for this illegitimate child to go to the countryside. Originally, it was the legal wife's daughter who was supposed to go, but the legal wife used some trickery to force her to go in her place. I heard that she paid her 30 yuan every month as compensation. The Yao family couldn't resist the legal wife, so they had to agree but also put forward a condition, which was to arrange a job for Yao Dachun and his son in a state-owned factory."
"Yao Dachun's job was arranged by his legal wife. I heard that his legal wife had all the evidence of him using his job as a transporter to make money. He's been living a very miserable life."
"He was unhappy with his life and full of resentment towards his aunt. He often complained to his friends about his aunt's incompetence. He also seemed to be annoyed with this cousin. I heard that her cousin had a very bad personality and was a troublemaker who was hated by everyone. She didn't want to be trapped in the countryside doing farm work, so she often went to Yao Dachun to make a scene and asked him to find a way to transfer her back to the city."
After getting the information about Liu Xiu's life experience from He Jun, Yun Huaying's expression under the mask kept changing. She also glanced at Liu Xiu with an ambiguous look as he was choosing a location to set up a stall not far away.
She had heard Lin Shan say before that Liu Xiu, relying on the fact that she had relatives who were cadres, looked down on other old educated youth in the educated youth center and denigrated them as worthless. If the old educated youth knew her true identity, the resentment and saliva accumulated in their hearts would probably drown her on the spot.
However, this is someone else's business, and Yun Huaying doesn't intend to meddle in it.
As long as Liu Xiu behaves himself and doesn't bother her again, she won't tell the secret, but if she comes to bother her again, don't blame her for being rude.
In addition, since Liu Xiu was almost killed by Liu Ping last time, he was severely criticized and educated by the Youth League Office. After he recovered from his injury and returned to the production team, he was also expelled from the Youth League by the old Youth League. Now he lives alone in a dilapidated wooden house outside. He must have learned his lesson and has not made any trouble in the past few days.
He Jun didn't seem to be very interested in the matter of Yao Dachun's cousins. He stopped talking about it and talked about business with her: "You are not delivering goods today, are you here to buy something?"
"I want you to buy something for me."
Yun Huaying knew that he had many connections and that he was the fastest way to collect things. She whispered to him, "Can you get some medicinal herb seeds?"
"How much?"
He Jun had heard her say last time that the medicinal herbs were collected from Lin County, and he also knew that many communes in the neighboring county grew medicinal herbs, so he did not doubt the source of the herbs, and just thought that she had friends in Lin County.
"Three to five hundred kilograms will be fine. The soil here is not much different from that in Lin County, so we should be able to grow medicinal herbs. My friend wants to try it in the mountains." Yun Huaying lied.
"Last time, someone also came to me to buy medicinal herb seeds. I asked someone to buy 100 kilograms of them, including seven or eight kinds of medicinal herbs. However, the other party only took 50 kilograms. There are still 50 kilograms left in the warehouse. How about you take them and try it first?"
"Okay, I'll take it."
Yun Huaying collected this little bit of seeds, but it wasn't enough, so she said to him, "Please help me collect a few hundred kilograms. My friend has hired an expert in growing medicinal herbs to give him some advice, so the chances of failure are much lower."
"Okay." He Jun agreed without hesitation. It would be a shame not to do business.
