After shouting, Jiang Ci covered her head, which was wrapped in gauze.
broken.
The shouting was so loud that it made my head buzz.
When Li Hu came out and saw Jiang Ci, his eyes widened. "You actually dare to come looking for me?"
Jiang Ci didn't have time to argue with him. She took out the medical certificate written by the doctor at the medical station and said, "You beat me until I bled. Pay me ten yuan and ten kilograms of food."
Li Hu was almost laughing in anger. "I haven't even taken you to the police station yet, and you're trying to extort money from me?"
Ten dollars for ten kilograms of food, how dare she say that!
"You're the one who hurt me, aren't you?" Jiang Ci ignored his read reply. "Because of you, I went to the infirmary. It's one thing you didn't pay the medical bills, but now you're trying to shirk responsibility?"
"Who knows if your injury was inflicted by your man? Now you're trying to pin it on me? I'm not afraid of you!"
After Li Hu finished speaking, he wanted to drive her away from the educated youth center. His hand had just landed on Jiang Ci's shoulder when he saw Jiang Ci's dark eyes staring at him.
An inexplicable chill shot up from the soles of his feet, causing Li Hu to pause in his movements.
“In the middle of last month, you went to the ghost market and sold a ceramic bowl. That thing is an antique, isn’t it?”
Because of her injury, Jiang Ci's voice was weak, yet it was like a hand from the abyss, gripping Li Hu's lifeline tightly.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Ci in disbelief, "You..."
How did she know?!
Jiang Ci smiled slightly and held out her hand, "Ten yuan, ten jin of grain, and three meat coupons."
Her laughter seemed like a devil's whisper, "You don't want anyone to know where you got that ceramic bowl, do you?"
Li Hu looked at her as if he had seen a ghost.
Holy crap, how did Jiang Ci know?!
Thinking of the cowshed not far from Shanding Brigade, Li Hu swallowed hard, very unwilling, but still went back to the house to get the money and meat tickets.
"I don't have that much grain either, this is all I can give you!" Li Hu was carrying a cloth bag filled with cornmeal.
Wheat flour was precious, and only a few dozen kilograms were given out when pay was issued. Moreover, the educated youth ate wheat flour first and then corn flour. There was only a little over a month left before the next pay was issued, and the wheat flour had long been gone. Where would there be any wheat flour left?
Jiang Ci reached out and grabbed the money and tickets, but Li Hu did not let go immediately.
He stared at Jiang Ci and said viciously, "If you dare to tell anyone about the ghost market..."
Jiang Ci took the things from Li Hu, counted some money and food coupons, and said calmly, "If you give me everything, I will forget about it."
The count was correct. Jiang Ci picked up the cornmeal and turned to leave.
Li Hu watched her walk away with a dark expression.
Jiang Ci first went to the captain's house and asked Aunt Lian to pay the medical expenses. Then she returned home with the remaining six dollars and fifty cents.
Jiang Ci's man... Zhou family, in the most remote part of Shanding Brigade, where few people live, because it is desolate, and from a distance it looks like just two dilapidated houses.
Before I got close, two dark-skinned children came running over.
"mother!"
A relatively strong but still skinny child hugged her legs.
Another, even smaller child looked at her timidly and weakly called out, "Mother...you're back."
The two children stared at her longingly.
Jiang Ci, who finally realized that Wu Tong was pregnant, felt a darkening in her eyes.
