Liu Xiaolan has to let her family know that there is no such thing as getting something for nothing.

Xu Mo had fought hard to get this meat back, and she would not allow anyone to take the initiative, ignore the fruits of her son's labor, and not appreciate his kindness.

Zhou Ying shed tears of grievance.

Sure enough, she was right to divide the family.

This mother-in-law is really not easy to get along with.

If she doesn’t want to eat it, then she won’t eat it. She will never eat anything from their house again.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Zhou Ying curled up in a corner, sobbing in grievance.

Xu Zhengyang ignored her and fell asleep a long time ago because he was too tired from working during the day.

And he was snoring.

Xu Panpan carefully crawled to Zhou Ying's side and handed the thing in her hand to Zhou Ying.

"Mom, you didn't eat much today. This is the meat I secretly saved. Please eat it quickly!"

In Xu Panpan's hand were four or five pieces of meat wrapped in oil paper, and the aroma of meat was fragrant.

Panpan swallowed her saliva. Even though she wanted to eat very much, she still held back.

After all, my mother is still pregnant with my little brother, and she would feel uncomfortable if she doesn’t eat.

Zhou Ying was still sobbing, but after smelling the meat, she stopped crying instantly.

She is really hungry.

I ate some wild vegetables and a bowl of mixed grains tonight, and I'm not hungry at all.

Besides, she is pregnant now. If she doesn't eat nutritious food, it will be bad for the baby in her belly.

Besides, she hasn't been back to her parents' home to ask for money for a long time.

So now she has nothing to eat here.

Even if I'm hungry, I can only bear it.

Zhou Ying originally wanted to be tough and not eat meat.

However, he was so hungry that he could only snatch the oil paper from Xu Panpan's hand.

He also lowered his voice to warn Xu Panpan, "You are not allowed to tell your grandma about this."

Xu Panpan nodded, then shrank back to her seat and lay there quietly.

Soon, chewing sounds were heard in the room.

Xu Panpan tried her best not to listen, lest she could not bear the aroma of the meat.

Force yourself to go to sleep quickly.

The next day.

Shen Jiaojiao woke up at daybreak.

She didn't want to go to work today and had to go to the county town to buy a bicycle.

But before that, she had to go and see if Xu Mo had come back. If not, she would go to the hospital to see him.

You also have to bring delicious food when you visit him.

Shen Jiaojiao packed up and went out.

I went to Xu Mo's house, met Liu Xiaolan, and learned that Xu Mo had not returned yet.

Shen Jiaojiao said that she happened to go to the county town for something today, and she went to see how Xu Mo was doing.

Just when Shen Jiaojiao was about to leave, Liu Xiaolan called her back again.

"Jiaojiao, if you see the third brother and he has nothing to do, tell him to go home quickly."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't think much about it. She thought that Liu Xiaolan was afraid that Xu Mo and the others would stay outside and be late for work, so she wanted him to come back earlier.

"Good auntie, when I see my third brother I will tell him to come back as soon as possible."

Shen Jiaojiao went to the village entrance and boarded the ox cart to the county town.

Fortunately, there were no old ladies chatting this time.

But I'm still kind of lost as to what's going on.

It seems like life would lose its flavor without those dirty talk!

Why!

This is damn...

The ox cart swayed slowly until it arrived at the county town.

Shen Jiaojiao told the uncle who was catching the bus that he didn't need to wait for her, and then ran to the hospital.

But when I arrived at the hospital, I didn't find anyone.

After asking the doctor, I found out that Xu Mo already had a fever when he came to the hospital last night.

After the wound was treated, I stayed in the hospital for observation and was not discharged until this morning when the fever subsided.

Shen Jiaojiao left the hospital and looked for the person outside for a while, but couldn't find him.

Just give up.

Maybe Xu Mo has already gone back.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't bother about it anymore.

I didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle first.

Instead, he prepared to go to the black market.

The last time I came to the black market was more than ten days ago.

Shen Jiaojiao found an empty place and slipped into the space.

She put on the coarse linen clothes she had prepared in advance, tied a kerchief around her face, and wrapped her hair tightly with a large and long scarf.

The eyebrows were also drawn into thick, dark straight eyebrows.

With this outfit, even if her own mother stood in front of her, she would not be able to recognize her.

Shen Jiaojiao took thirty kilograms of rice and thirty kilograms of flour and put them into the backpack.

She had previously overlooked a very serious problem, which was that the food in her space was all very fine grains.

In this era, all food was coarse grain.

Take rice for example. It is simply and roughly processed, with much of the husk not removed and a lot of bran still remaining inside.

If she rashly took out a large amount of fine grains, it would cause trouble.

Shen Jiaojiao searched around in the space and finally found the bran.

She mixed bran with rice and flour, and then carried the basket on her back to make room.

There seemed to be fewer people in the black market today.

What Shen Jiaojiao didn't know was that ever since Xu Mo had a conflict with someone in the black market and a gangster died later, the black market has attracted the attention of the public security.

So the black market business is not doing well these days.

Those who can come to the black market are brave enough to risk their lives.

After Shen Jiaojiao entered the black market, someone immediately came up to talk to her.

The person who came was a very tall man, with a black scarf on his face and a hat on his head, covering himself up very tightly.

"What's in the backpack?"

The man deliberately lowered his voice, and his voice immediately sounded ten years older.

Shen Jiaojiao lifted the cloth on the basket, revealing the rice and flour inside.

She didn't add much bran, so the quality of the food was relatively good for that era.

"The quantity is not much. Is this all the food you have?" The man seemed a little disappointed.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

She wants to find a big client. Is this the big client?

Shen Jiaojiao also lowered her voice, "How much do you want?"

The man hesitated for a while and said tentatively, "I need 500 kilograms for now. If we cooperate well later, I can give you more."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't say much. She couldn't just say she weighed 500 pounds just because others said so!

But she does!

But you can't do that.

"I do have some food elsewhere, but it only adds up to 300 kilograms. Do you want some?"

She had to test whether this person was worthy of cooperation.

If he is a man of his word, she might consider cooperating with him for a long time.

The man didn't expect that this aunt actually had food. Although it wasn't much, it was still pretty good.

"Three hundred kilograms is fine. Where do you keep the rest of the food? Take me there."

"That won't do. The place where I store the food cannot be easily leaked. How about this! There is an abandoned warehouse one mile east of here. Come find me there in half an hour and I will give you the food."

The man nodded without hesitation.

"By the way, how do you sell this food?"

"70 cents with a ticket, 1 dollar without a ticket. This is the uniform price on the black market."

The man hesitated, "I don't have a ticket, but can the price be cheaper? After all, three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money."

In this day and age, there aren’t many families that can come up with 300 yuan at once!

Shen Jiaojiao pretended to be in a difficult situation, then gritted her teeth and said, "How about this! I'll give you 90 cents."
