Xu Fugui quickly covered Li Ermei's mouth.

He glanced at the three sleeping losers and lowered his voice, "Wife, are you crazy? Where is the black market? You probably want me to become a widower at such a young age."

Li Ermei slapped Xu Fugui on the forehead and cursed, "Idiot, what are you talking about?" She patiently explained, "We are so poor now that we almost have to sell our son, and there is not much food left at home. Fortunately, our parents helped us these few days, so we had a few full meals. To be honest, if it was not before the separation of the family, I would not think it was a big deal, but now that the family has separated, I still often eat my parents' food, I feel very ashamed.

If I can't even support myself, I might as well dig a hole and bury myself so I don't have to burden others by living."

Li Ermei looked at Xu Fugui seriously, "Fugui, now in order to survive, we must make a choice, and going to the black market is the only place where we can get money. In order to prevent the three losers from starving to death with us, we have no choice but to fight."

Li Ermei became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she saw the light before dawn and saw huge piles of money falling on her.

"Fugui, think about it carefully. We have three sons. How can we not spend money on marrying and having children? But do we have money? Don't even think about it. We definitely don't have money.

What if our children can't find wives in the future without money? What if they become single? They will blame us.

Although children and grandchildren have their own blessings, this society is so cruel that you can't just not worry about them and let them fend for themselves!

If parents only care about their own comfort and ignore their children, it will be miserable for the children.

When they grow up, they will see other people enjoying hot meals and warm beds, and then they will see their own sore hands. They will surely wonder, if their parents can’t give them a good life, why did they give birth to so many children? Why did they let them come into this world to suffer?

By then, if the children have more extreme personalities, maybe the three of them will join forces to dig a hole and bury us."

Li Ermei was brainwashing like crazy, and Xu Fugui's head was buzzing.

He quickly stopped her, "Wife, why do you sound more and more scary? There is no one in our Xu family who is unfilial."

"But I have it at home!" Li Ermei said without hesitation.

She slapped her lips and said angrily, "We agreed not to mention those annoying things, but now that it has come to this, I still have to say a few more words. As for the children's uncle, my good-for-nothing brother is an ungrateful person now and will definitely be unfilial in the future. It is said that nephews resemble their uncles. If one of these three boys grows up to be a bad boy, we will be in trouble."

Xu Fugui thought it made a lot of sense.

I had originally firmly disagreed with going to the black market to do illegal things, but now that I think about it, I have no choice but to go.

"But wife, what are we going to sell on the black market? We have nothing to sell!"

Li Ermei: “…That’s a problem.”

Xu Fugui: “…” I always feel like my wife is playing a trick on me.

Li Ermei is worried about what to sell.

Although she is brave, she is not smart enough.

To put it bluntly, he is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt.

If you ask her to scold someone, she will never lose. But if you ask her to do business and deal with others, she will most likely end up failing.

For such an honest and hot-tempered person, it would be best if someone could help him make a fortune, otherwise, he would lose everything.

Li Ermei was thinking about what to sell.

She had never been to the black market, so she had no idea of ​​the market conditions.

But we can imagine that nowadays, food such as grains and meat are more profitable, as are eggs, which are necessities of life.

Li Ermei suddenly had an idea.

"We can go to the village committee to get some food in advance, and then take some of it to the black market to test the market. If we can make some money, we can sell the food distributed by the village on the black market first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food. This way, we can make some money from the price difference."

"That's fine, but do you know what the black market food is selling for? How much more expensive can it be than the supply and marketing cooperatives? If it's more expensive, no one will want it."

Li Ermei thought about it carefully and said, "The price on the black market must be higher. The supply and marketing cooperative sells rice for 50 cents per pound, so the black market must be 10 cents higher at least!"

Xu Fugui is not very good at accounting.

It's just a one-cent profit, is there any point in doing this?

Since it was his wife who said so, he should just follow her.

So, the two of them decided to go to the village tomorrow to get some food in advance.

As I was thinking about it, I fell asleep.

This night was destined to be uneasy, as screams could be heard in the cowshed all night long.

The next day.

Xu Fugui went to the village and took out thirty kilograms of flour in advance.

Li Ermei was careful and did not take all the flour away. She left ten kilograms at home, and she and Xu Fugui each carried ten kilograms of the remaining twenty kilograms on their backs.

We arrived at the county town carefully.

After several twists and turns, I finally found the black market.

The black market is in a hidden alley, with only a few people inside.

The whole alley was very quiet, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was abnormal.

Li Ermei and Xu Fugui, feeling somewhat guilty, found a place that was not too conspicuous and placed the things they brought on the ground.

After all, as soon as they entered the black market, everyone inside looked over at once.

Even though Li Ermei was usually tough, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

After all, what they did was illegal, and if they were caught, it would be really terrible.

Xu Fugui feels more guilty than Li Ermei.

I was so nervous that my legs were shaking.

The big man grabbed Li Ermei's sleeve and whispered, "Wife, I want to pee."

Li Ermei stood in front of Xu Fugui and gritted her teeth and said, "Hold it."

"But I can't hold it anymore."

"Just pee on me, asshole."

Xu Fugui was about to say something when he saw a man with his face covered walking towards them.

Li Ermei finally remembered something at this time and lowered her voice and said, "It's over. We didn't bring a face mask or anything to cover our faces. I was wondering why it felt a little strange."

But it was too late.

Li Ermei immediately covered her face with her hands and looked at the man who walked up to them.

The man didn't say anything more. He glanced at the food on the ground and asked, "How much is one pound?"

Xu Fugui was delighted and grabbed Li Ermei's arm.

There was also joy in the low voice.

"Wife, someone is here to buy food."

Li Ermei raised her hand and slapped away the claw that was pinching her flesh.

Then he smiled at the people who came to buy food and said, "This white flour is very fine. It costs at least... 65 cents. Yes, 65 cents per pound."

The man looked at Li Ermei in surprise.

Obviously it's a bit unbelievable.

Li Ermei's heart skipped a beat.

It's over. He must have thought she oversold it.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have shouted out those extra five points.

Li Ermei asked cautiously, "If you want the whole thing, I'll give you 60 cents."
