The tractor driver had just driven the truck into the pig farm and was unloading the manure from the truck into the pond as usual. As a result, three people who looked completely different from humans rolled into the pond, scaring him and the people working next to him.
Several big men quickly dragged the man out of the slop pool, and Li Wang and the other two woke up now, but their minds were not very clear. They could not remember what happened before, nor could they remember who beat them like this.
The most painful thing was that they were in pain all over, with marks and bruises all over their bodies from being beaten. Their three heads were beaten like pigs' heads and they couldn't even get up.
In addition, Li Wang had lost all his teeth, and his lisp was very funny, which made the pig feeders in the pig farm laugh.
Li Wang was very angry at being laughed at by everyone, but no matter how angry he was, he knew that he could not reveal his identity. He must not let anyone know that he was a cadre of the G Club. In the end, he paid a tractor driver to take them to the county hospital for treatment.
As for the person who beat them up behind the scenes, he didn't have time to investigate now, but he was determined to find out.
"Huaying, you're back."
Yun Huaying went to the county town in the afternoon. Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan were not idle at home either. They invited Lin Xiaolan to come and teach them how to grow vegetables. They had already planted vegetables in the small vegetable plot next to the house, and just now each of them carried a load of water to water the vegetables.
Seeing her and Han Zheng carrying bags, Jiang Yuan stood up and asked, "Why did you buy so many things?"
Yun Huaying was in a good mood today, smiling: "I came across some good stuff today, so I bought some extra."
Han Zheng helped her put the things in the house, took out what he bought, and said to her: "Huaying, I'm going to go back first. You should also take a rest. Prepare some herbs for me later. I'll come to pick them up around six o'clock."
He had bought some mutton before, and he planned to stew some nourishing mutton soup for his grandfather. He wanted to go to the pharmacy to get some tonic, but Yun Huaying said that she brought a lot of medicinal herbs from her hometown, and she could prescribe a nourishing recipe for stewing mutton, so he asked her for help.
"We're going to harvest soybeans later, so we might not finish work until late today. You should take the herbs back now."
Yun Huaying said as she returned to the room, unlocked the cabinet, took out the cloth bag containing the herbs, picked up two pieces of paper at random, quickly grabbed some herbs and wrapped them in the paper, and quickly handed them to him, "Two portions of herbs, stewed lamb or chicken are both fine."
Han Zheng accepted it and took out money from his pocket, "Hua Ying, how much?"
"You helped me dig a lot of herbs this morning, so you don't have to pay me." Yun Huaying waved at him.
"Okay." Han Zheng put the money back into his pocket, planning to help her dig some herbs next time. His eyes were gentle. "You rest. I'm going back."
Lin Shan brought her a large bowl of boiled water. Seeing Han Zheng was about to leave, she said hello to him and said to Yun Huaying, "Huaying, I just saw that there seems to be wool in that cloth bag. I remember you don't have any textile receipts, and you didn't exchange them with Brother Han yesterday."
"Han Zheng just took me to the black market. There's a special black market over at Yangxian River Port. You don't need a ticket. You can buy a lot of good stuff with just money."
Yun Huaying opened the cloth bag, her smile as pure as a jasmine flower. "I just bought five pounds of wool yarn, pure wool, 17.5 per pound. It's from Guangdong Province, and the color and quality are pretty good."
"Wow!"
When the two girls saw the three beautiful colors of wool, they all exclaimed in surprise.
The wool yarn commonly found in supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores is black, gray, and blue, which are very dark in color and very expensive. The quantity supplied each time is very small. Even if the wool yarn supplied is of ordinary color, it will be snatched away early by well-informed people. This is the first time they have seen wool yarn with such bright colors.
"Today's wool yarn has many colors, including red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Many women were scrambling for the red ones, but I didn't compete with them and chose these three."
"If we had known earlier, we would have gone with you." Lin Shan was very annoyed.
Yun Huaying smiled softly, "This black market is a little special. The things sold there are quite expensive. They are all high-quality goods from other places. If you want to enter this black market, you have to pay ten yuan for a pass first."
"Huh? I have to pay ten dollars for a pass?"
Jiang Yuan lost interest instantly. Ten yuan was a lot of money for her, enough to live on for a month. Her expression was a little exaggerated: "This black market is such a scam."
Yun Huaying smiled and said nothing else. She took out the other things she bought and showed them.
As for the golden hairpin, she had put it in the space a long time ago. Even though she and Lin Shan were as close as sisters, she had no intention of taking out the hairpin to show her.
Because this hairpin belonged to the Yun family. It was originally a pair, designed and crafted by Grandma herself as a wedding gift for her two children. Mom had one in her hand, which she had seen when she was a child. There was also a box of other gold jewelry, jadeite, and gold bars, which were all kept by Grandpa at the time, but later disappeared.
She once asked her mother, and her mother told her that those things were hidden and told her not to tell others and not to tell anyone that there were these gold collections at home.
She was confused at the time, but she was very sensible and well-behaved, and listened to her elders, and never told anyone about the treasure chest.
She didn't understand it then, but she does now.
Thinking back to the time, it was not long after the WG started. Fortunately, grandpa and mom hid these things in advance, so the family avoided the disaster.
However, her grandfather and mother passed away one after another, and they did not tell her where these things were hidden before they died.
Therefore, she didn't know whether the golden hairpin she bought today was her mother's or her uncle's. However, she had heard from that person that the hairpin came from Hai City, so she guessed that the hairpin belonged to her uncle.
No matter who this hairpin belongs to, Yun Huaying is sure that it belongs to the Yun family. As for why it fell into the hands of others and was sold, there must be many unknown things behind it. She didn't take it out to show Lin Shan because she didn't want to cause her trouble.
She bought quite a lot today, and the two of them took turns looking at them. Jiang Yuan said, "These things are really good. Many of them I haven't seen before. They must be very expensive."
"Huaying, how much did this cost you?" Lin Shan also asked.
"More than two hundred."
Yun Huaying directly eliminated the expense of hairpins.
"Hiss!" Jiang Yuan gasped in shock, her eyes widening: "More than two hundred."
Yun Huaying smiled and said nothing.
Two hundred yuan is no small sum. Jiang Yuan looked at her with a changing look in her eyes as she said, "When I was back home, I often went to the coal briquette factory where my parents worked on Saturdays and Sundays to help out. I saved up little by little, and it took me six years to save up a hundred yuan. You've been out for less than two hours and you've spent over two hundred yuan. Yun Huaying, you're such a good spender."
In fact, she really wanted to say that he was a spendthrift, but she felt that it was not a good idea to say it that way, so she had to say more tactfully that she would spend money.
