“Zhuang Zhiqing, it’s obvious that you really like Chengye. It’s just that their family doesn’t know what’s good for them.”
"That's right, but you mustn't say that in front of them."
"I know."
Li Hongying grabbed Zhuang Feifei's hand and, seemingly unintentionally, scratched the back of Zhuang Feifei's hand with her sharp fingernails, drawing blood.
"Oh dear, how could I be so careless as to cut your hand?"
There was blood under her fingernail that had been scraped off Zhuang Feifei's hand earlier, so she immediately scraped it onto the back of her hand to mix the two bloods.
"Oh dear, how clumsy I am! I even managed to scratch myself. Feifei, please don't blame me, I didn't mean to."
Zhuang Feifei thought that Li Hongying was incredibly stupid for managing to injure herself.
She still needed to rely on Li Hongying to get close to the Lu family, and generously said, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."
"Feifei, you are such a good girl. I like you very much. I just got married here not long ago and haven't made any good friends yet. Come to our house often in the future, and let's call each other good sisters."
This suggestion was exactly what Zhuang Feifei wanted to hear, and she immediately agreed.
Li Hongying, however, was secretly smug. She had succeeded on her first try, and with four more attempts, she would be able to obtain the female lead's space.
Early in the morning, Jiang Manyue, Sun Tiantian, and Ning Peipei came to find Luo Jingyan.
“Jingyan, are you going home for the New Year? If you are, let’s go to the village officials together to ask for leave and get a letter of introduction. Shen and Tong have already asked for leave. They’re going home this year to meet each other’s parents, and I think they can finalize the marriage.”
"Jingyan, my mom finally let me come home," Sun Tiantian said with a smile.
That's great.
Since Luo Jingyan wasn't going home, the three of them left. When they returned, all three seemed to be in good spirits, probably because they had all been granted permission to go home and visit their families.
Luo Jingyan thought it would be difficult to ask for a family visit leave, but she didn't expect it to be that simple.
As soon as they returned, they packed their things and went home, leaving only Lin Shanshan, Zhuang Feifei, and Chen Yuling in the girls' dormitory.
The Lunar New Year is just four or five days away, and everyone is going to the city to buy New Year's goods. Luo Jingyan usually goes to the county town by herself, but today she wants to take Luo Changtian to the county town to have some fun.
They set off without having breakfast. The New Year's atmosphere in the county town was stronger than in the countryside. Many families, including state-owned enterprises, had hung festive red lanterns at their doors. They first went to a state-run restaurant, where they ordered the large meat buns that Luo Changtian loved, and two bowls of steaming hot tofu pudding.
During the Chinese New Year, the black market, like the supply and marketing cooperative, is also the busiest time of the year for transactions. She guessed that Zhuang Feifei would have something big to do again, so she secretly sent Black Tiger to keep an eye on the black market.
The siblings had breakfast at the state-run restaurant, wandered around outside for a while, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, the supply and marketing cooperative was packed with people who had squeezed in to buy New Year's goods, but under the supervision of the sales staff, they were all queuing up in an orderly manner to shop.
Finally, it was Luo Jingyan's turn. She asked Luo Changtian what he wanted to eat and told him that they had enough money and didn't need to be frugal.
Even so, they couldn't buy everything; they could only buy things that didn't require a ticket.
They bought two jin of roasted melon seeds, one jin of fruit candy, two boxes of Golden Rooster biscuits, and three couplets. Since the policy prohibited setting off firecrackers to reduce the risk of fires, the supply and marketing cooperative did not sell firecrackers; they could only be sold on the black market.
After the two came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Luo Jingyan said to Luo Changtian, "Where else do you want to go? I'll go with you."
Luo Changtian liked the festive atmosphere in the county town. "Sister, let's take a stroll around."
"OK."
In the black market, Zhuang Feifei was indeed restless, wanting to do another deal with Boss Biao during the Chinese New Year.
Although Old Dong was very honest, his order quantities were always too small to satisfy her appetite.
If you want to do big business, you have to find Master Biao.
This time she decided to make the transaction in that grove of trees again, after all, she had already made two safe transactions there.
She changed her clothes this time, so Boss Biao would never recognize her.
She took the initiative to find Master Biao and promised him an abundant supply of goods, "Master Biao, I not only have grain, but also fruit, dried fruit, cooking oil, pork, radios and watches, I have them all here."
Fortunately, she had considered all aspects when she stockpiled supplies before she transmigrated, so she can now do business with Master Biao with great confidence.
Zhuang Feifei suddenly revealed that Biao Ye was tempted by what she said, but Hu San whispered in his ear, "Biao Ye, because we've already bought too much stock for the New Year, we're short on cash and we're afraid we can't buy any more."
Biao Ye was extremely disappointed, but he was also very tempted by the goods in Zhuang Feifei's hands.
Ha, even someone as powerful as Master Biao has his share of shady dealings. In fact, they've accumulated a fortune in just two years, mostly through such methods. How much money can you really make through legitimate means when you claim to be in business? First, you trick the other party out of their goods, then you double-cross them, and he makes a fortune.
Ignoring Hu San's objections, he gave Hu San a look and said, "You're right, we should stock up on more goods and make a fortune this Spring Festival, hahaha."
Hu San, his longtime partner, understood his meaning perfectly well and immediately offered a moment of silence to the cargo owner before him.
Biao Ye has decided to swindle Zhuang Feifei. Since it's a one-off deal, he won't be stingy; he wants to extract as much information as possible from her.
"Comrade, I, Chen Biao, have always been a big businessman. How much can you deliver? If it's small, it's not worth my time to get involved."
