Zhou Yuting looked Zhao Meilan up and down. Although she wasn't as pretty as herself, what if Battalion Commander Gu took a liking to her? Wouldn't she have wasted her time? "No need, I'll go by myself."
Zhao Meilan didn't insist on going. She had plenty of ways to deal with men, so she decided not to argue with her for now.
She stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yuting's hand, saying, "Tingting! The money you gave me for groceries last time is all used up. Tomorrow I'm planning to buy some good groceries and cook you something delicious, you see..."
She made it very clear that she wanted money to buy groceries. That's how it's always been: Zhao Meilan does the work, and Zhou Yuting pays.
That idiot, if she does even the smallest thing or complains a little, she'll obediently hand over her money.
In less than a month, Zhao Meilan had saved nearly two hundred yuan from Zhou Yuting, not counting the clothes, shoes and face cream she bought for herself. She earned more than the regular employees.
"Meilan, how come the money disappears so quickly? Didn't I give you twenty yuan last time? It's only been a few days and it's gone. I don't have much money left either. Let's be more careful with our spending in the future! I'll go with you to buy groceries tomorrow, and I'll pay for them."
Zhao Meilan never expected that this fool would actually learn her lesson this time; it seems she really doesn't have much money left.
A flash of malice crossed her eyes. She had originally intended to let her off the hook for the time being, since the incident had only recently occurred.
Since Zhou Yuting is ungrateful, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Sure! Let's go together tomorrow."
The next morning, Zhao Meilan came to Su Li's courtyard early to prepare breakfast, waiting for Zhou Yuting to finish washing up.
After they finished eating, the two of them took an oxcart to town.
They arrived early and even managed to buy meat, which made Zhou Yuting very happy; she hadn't eaten meat for several days.
Each time the family buys a small amount of meat, it's never enough. Zhao Meilan eats very quickly, so she can't eat more than a few pieces.
We bought a lot this time, so both of us can satisfy our cravings.
"Tingting, you stay here and buy these things. I'll go to the post office to see if we've received a reply from home."
"Okay, go ahead! I've run out of toothpaste, I'll buy another tube, come back soon."
"good"
Zhao Meilan walked very fast, and after more than ten minutes she arrived at the outside of a courtyard.
I knocked on the door, and someone opened it quickly.
"What are you doing here? What brings you here this time? Last time, you caused us to lose an informant. If you don't leave now, I'll sell you out without a second thought, regardless of our past relationship."
"I'm here to see you off this time. It's the same girl as last time, but don't worry, no one will bother you this time. She's wearing a gray wool coat and a pink scarf around her neck. I don't need to say more about how beautiful she is!"
"I don't believe a word you say anymore. You said the same thing last time. How about this: I'll give you this medicine, you apply it to her, then help her here. I'll give you a hundred dollars then, how about that?"
Zhao Meilan only wanted to abduct and sell the person, but she was still hesitant to do it herself.
If you get caught, you'll be going to jail.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. Let's do it the same way as last time. I'll lure her to a fixed location and you guys do the work, okay? You can give me eighty yuan then."
The man looked at her grimly; “No, your mistake last time cost us an informant. If it weren’t for her grandson being in our hands, we would have been taken down by the police long ago. I’ll give you 150. If you bring him here, we can do the job. If not, don’t come back, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Zhao Meilan gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll go and bring the person here right now."
The man patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's more like it! If this deal goes through, I'll be ready to serve you educated youth any good stuff you have in the future, and I'll give it to you at this price."
He then handed the medicine to Zhao Meilan.
Zhao Meilan was tempted, but she really didn't dare! Apart from Zhou Yuting, it wouldn't be easy for her to fool anyone else at the educated youth settlement!
She took the medicine the man handed her; "How do I use this?"
"This is a new drug developed overseas, and it's very expensive. If you apply a little to your hand and casually touch her head, she will naturally lose consciousness and be at your mercy."
"What if I get poisoned by the medicine myself?"
The man handed over another pill; "This is the antidote. Take this first, then apply the medicine to your hands and slap it on her head within five minutes."
Zhao Meilan nodded; "Okay, I have to hurry back, otherwise she'll get suspicious."
The man took her hand and squeezed it; "Okay, go ahead! I'll be waiting for your good news."
After taking the antidote, Zhao Meilan started walking back. The thought of the man pinching her hand earlier made her feel nauseous.
If I didn't need his help, he wouldn't even dare to touch my hand.
Before entering the supply and marketing cooperative, she found a secluded spot and poured some medicine on her hands.
Then he shook his hands and waited until they were almost dry before going to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Zhou Yuting.
Not long after the two left the supply and marketing cooperative, they came to a narrow alley with few people around. Zhao Meilan decided to make her move there.
Her palms were sweating involuntarily, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Ting...Ting...there's a bug on your head. Lower your head a little, and I'll help you remove it."
Zhou Yuting was terrified of insects, so even when she heard Zhao Meilan's trembling voice, she only assumed that she was frightened by insects.
So he obediently lowered his head and waited for Zhao Meilan to catch the insect and take it off.
Little did she know that this moment of bowing her head would lead to a lifetime of regret.
