Song Yining felt she needed to think carefully about when she had changed her feelings for that old man; she was only seventeen years old.
Song Yining felt uncomfortable that he was being treated like this today.
I have dignity too. Do whatever you want. See if he'll pay any attention to me in the future.
Now is the time to enjoy the life of having money and leisure in the future. It's not that I lack ambition, but that I'm afraid to do anything and I like to scheme and plot. I don't like that kind of life.
Looking at the things left by the family, wouldn't it be better to wait for the reform and opening up to buy a courtyard house? Wouldn't it be better to collect rent every month? Wouldn't it be better to buy some more land?
In modern times, when I read romance novels with domineering CEOs, I know better than to even think about it. I'm self-aware enough to know my limits.
It's better to rely on yourself than on others. You should strive to be like those people in short videos who have both money and leisure, living a free and easy life.
Don't talk to Song Yining about ideals; that's something only highly capable people do. She prefers this slow, leisurely lifestyle.
Those who transmigrate into books and have cheat codes are all very capable, but they just want to live a lazy life.
After walking along the road, I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar that I needed for the family. I could just take the grain from my own space.
Thinking about the large amount of food stored in her space, Song Yining decided to go to the black market in the county town.
In Zhouxian County, there are several large factories, including a transformer factory, a paper mill, a textile factory, and a machinery factory, all of which have staff housing. These people are all quite wealthy.
Song Yining had already scouted the place last time; there were few people here, and those who came here just wanted to buy something and leave quickly.
After putting on makeup, Song Yining transformed into an old woman, carrying an empty basket into the black market.
I paid a 5-cent entrance fee when I came today. Now I'm going to see what's inside.
Inside, I saw vendors selling eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and chickens, as well as various mountain products and delicacies. They also sold what appeared to be silk quilts.
She remembered that there seemed to be a research institute nearby that raised silkworms, so there must be silk quilts there.
When I saw a light and delicate silk quilt, I wanted to take a look. No matter how good a cotton quilt is, I wouldn't mind a silk quilt.
Looking at that quilt, Song Yining felt a strong urge to take it, wondering if she should.
I saw Song Yining looking at that quilt, and the man holding the quilt was trying his best to sell it.
"Young lady, look at this top-quality silk quilt. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, soft and comfortable. It's definitely a good product. You can see for yourself that it's genuine."
How much does this bed cost?
"Since you really like it, I won't ask for an extra 20 yuan."
"So tall."
"Sister, to tell you the truth, this is what I was going to give to my child, but the girl wanted a radio, so we had no choice but to part with it. She doesn't appreciate its value, and there's nothing we can do about it."
Song Yining looked at the man, "15 yuan."
"Young lady, you know your stuff, so I can't help you. If you really want it, just say so."
"That's 18 yuan, no less. I'm doing this with a heavy heart."
Song Yining thought about it and agreed; this thing was indeed quite difficult to make.
The two exchanged money for goods, and after checking that everything was correct, Song Yining quickly put it into her basket and then checked if there was anything else.
After going around in circles, Song Yining bought all the eggs.
The weather has been getting warmer lately, so people aren't buying much. When Song Yining found out about this, she quickly came out.
Upon arriving at the black market, I dressed up again, changing into a completely different look.
Song Yining took out the food she had prepared in advance, taking a little of each kind, and went to the young man at the door to collect the money.
"I have some excellent grain here, what do you think?" The skinny monkey guarding the gate's eyes lit up when he saw the grain.
He enthusiastically told her to wait, blew a specific whistle, and then another person came out to take over his work.
The skinny monkey led her through a maze of twists and turns into a courtyard. Upon entering the main room, they saw a refined-looking man drinking tea.
When the skinny monkey saw the man come in, he showed the leader the grain he was carrying. They were shocked to see that the grain was all top-quality grain.
The refined man, upon seeing the grain, also looked directly at the unattractive woman opposite him.
Song Yining had put on makeup that made him look unremarkable and indistinguishable from others, so that he would blend into a crowd and no one would recognize him.
"Sister, I'm very satisfied with your grain. How much is it?"
"I can tell you're a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. You can see that the quality of my grain is impeccable, and the price will definitely be a bit higher than the market price, after all, the quality speaks for itself."
The refined man was also a bit surprised by the price, but considering the quality of the goods, he thought for a moment and then asked how much stock the lady could provide.
Song Yining thought about how about 1,000 jin each of rice, millet, and wheat flour, and 200 jin of each type of bean?
Upon hearing the number, the refined man suppressed his excitement and looked at Song Yining opposite him.
"Then, sister, when can we make the deal?"
"We'll make the deal tonight at 9 p.m. at that uninhabited house outside the city. Also, please prepare some bags for me."
The refined man understood, since bags are hard to come by these days.
Thinking about the money to be traded tonight, the refined man still looked at you and said, "Sister, you see, I can't handle so much money all at once. How about I trade some of my gold with you?"
Hearing this, Song Yining was secretly delighted, thinking, "What a wonderful thing!" She nodded at the refined-looking man.
The man finally relaxed, fearing that his older sister might disagree, but this solved his problem.
The two agreed on a place and waited for Skinny Monkey and his friends to bring out brand new bags, pack everything, and give it to Song Yining.
Song Yining took the bag, and the skinny monkey led him out, so he could prepare the goods there that evening.
Watching the skinny guy and his gang walk away, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man standing next to them said to the refined man, "Boss, how about we double-cross each other tonight? That would solve our immediate problem."
She's just a woman, and we're all strong men; we're not afraid of her.
The refined man looked at his subordinate, frowning as he wondered what was wrong with this person's brain.
The fact that a woman came to negotiate a deal means she must be someone with considerable influence; it's as if I'm desperate to leave this place.
If someone can produce so much grain all at once, they have the confidence to negotiate with us.
Seeing his subordinate's expression, he was shocked. This person didn't seem to have a brain; how could he talk like that?
Looking at Ge Li, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face, he couldn't help but think to himself that he needed to investigate this man thoroughly.
Fortunately, no one followed her after she left the black market. Song Yining safely exited the black market and arrived at a deserted corner to enter her spatial dimension and tidy herself up.
I went to a state-run restaurant and ordered myself a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
I had a delicious meal and felt so full that I quickly went to the post office to make a phone call to see if my mother had arrived home safely.
