Zhang Erxiu heard this and an idea struck him. He then suggested:
"Why don't we go find that black market everyone keeps talking about? Maybe there'll be some new and interesting stuff there!"
After hearing this, Liu Dong shook his head disapprovingly and retorted:
"Come on, it's just a tiny little town, how can there be a black market?"
However, Zhang Erxiu did not think so. She said confidently:
"Hey, don't underestimate this little place of ours! It's precisely because the town is so small and the goods in the supply and marketing cooperative are so limited that we need a black market to fill the gap!"
At this time, Wang Liming also expressed great interest and said that she wanted to go together to explore what the so-called black market looked like.
She interrupted with a smile:
"As the saying goes, 'A sparrow may be small, but it has all the organs!' Even if there's no massive black market here, there should at least be a small one."
In fact, Wang Liming didn’t really want to buy anything from the black market, she was just out of curiosity.
In the past, the family would occasionally purchase some items from the black market, but that was the job of her father and other adults. She herself had never experienced this mysterious black market transaction scene!
After hearing Wang Liming's words, Liu Dong stopped talking.
Girls are always curious about new things. Since she said so, why not look for it? It won't take too much effort or time anyway.
It would be great if you could find it successfully, which can be considered as luck; even if you fail to get what you want in the end, at least you can feel at ease and avoid being complained and blamed in the future.
So, a group of five people strolled along the street, chatting and laughing. Unfortunately, despite their search, they still could not find the legendary mysterious "black market".
Qin Wan couldn't help but find it somewhat funny: you know, the reason why the black market is called a "black" market is precisely because it is usually hidden in some secluded and inconspicuous place.
They were all chatting and laughing along the way, just like they were swaggering through the city with a conspicuous banner. Just imagine, which black market would dare to expose itself so easily and open its doors to them?
Although they failed to find any trace of the black market, the young men and women did not feel depressed or lost. Instead, they kept each other company, chatting and laughing.
Just as they were enjoying this wonderful moment, suddenly, a child came running from behind them, turning back and shouting, "Dad, stop hitting me. I won't do it again. Ah, help!"
Behind the child ran a short man, waving a fire stick in his hand, cursing as he chased the child:
"You little bastard, stop it right there."
"Don't run, you little bastard! Ouch, be careful, don't hit anyone!"
As if to verify the man's words, the child in front accidentally bumped into Wang Liming, then staggered two steps and ran forward like the wind.
"Look at you kid!" Zhou Hongmei, who was walking beside Wang Liming, scolded in a low voice. She always felt that something was wrong. But before she could express her feelings, the short man came in front of them and apologized to Wang Liming repeatedly:
"I'm sorry, comrade. My child is very naughty. If he's not punished for three days, he'll tear off the roof and break off the tiles. He needs to be beaten several times every day before he can stop. Comrade, you have to be magnanimous and don't be like him. You must forgive him. This kid, when I get home, I will definitely beat him up and see if he dares to be so reckless again..."
Several times, Wang Liming wanted to interrupt and say that she forgave him, but the man spoke so quickly that Wang Liming could not get a word in.
After the man finally left, Zhou Hongmei said to Wang Liming, "Why do I feel like there's something, uh, wrong with this man?"
Zhang Erxiu also said: "Yes, I also think that he is not right. He says too much."
Liu Dong said, "What's wrong? Isn't it just talking too much? Some people just love to talk, what people call chatterboxes."
Qin Wan asked Wang Liming: "Is your wallet still there?"
Wang Liming quickly reached into her cross-body bag where her wallet was.
However, when he put his hand into the bag, he immediately screamed:
"Oh, where's my wallet? My wallet is gone!"
"It must be that child!" Zhou Hongmei and Zhang Erxiu immediately understood, "He said so much, he must be buying time for the child to escape.
Only Liu Dong was still standing there, stumbling, muttering, "How could this happen?"
Wang Liming was so anxious that she almost cried: "What should I do? All my family assets are there!"
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait, I'll go after them. I've been watching where they run."
After saying that, he chased after him.
