"Sister Guiying, it's me!" Boss Zhang clutched his head. "It's me, Old Zhang!"
Liang Guiying stopped: "Boss Zhang?"
Isn't that the same Mr. Zhang who went to the village with her to buy live pigs, making her a fortune?
Liang Guiying looked around and lowered her voice: "When I came back today, I saw the law enforcement team at the ferry crossing. They said they were going to go to the village to investigate the illegal slaughter of pigs. Are you alright?"
Mr. Zhang shook his head: "I listened to your advice and stopped, otherwise I would have run into the law enforcement team today."
"The enforcement team has already gone to the village, and it shouldn't be long before they find you."
"Don't worry about that. As long as I don't get caught in the act, I have a way to get away with it. Even if they come after me later, I won't betray you."
As he spoke, Boss Zhang pulled out a red envelope. "Sister Guiying, thanks to you, I've finally established myself. This is just a small token of my gratitude, please accept it."
Liang Guiying confiscated the money: "Boss Zhang, are you trying to get me to pull off another job?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Sister Guiying."
"With such a big scandal going on right now, I don't want to be made an example of. You should also wait and see. If the impact is too great, the people behind you might not be able to cover it up."
Mr. Zhang laughed: "Sister Guiying told me to observe, so I have to listen. If Sister Guiying comes up with any good business opportunities later, she can also call me."
"How would a village woman like me know anything about making money? I still need Boss Zhang's help."
After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Zhang took his leave, forcibly stuffing a red envelope into Liang Guiying's hand before departing: "If Sister Guiying doesn't accept it, then she's looking down on me, Old Zhang."
Liang Guiying smiled and accepted it, but only opened it to take a look after entering the living area.
Wow, that's a whole thousand dollars!
—This isn't a thank-you gift, it's clearly hush money!
—Once you've taken this money, you can't go around telling everyone that they went to the villages together to collect live pigs.
In Jiangcheng, live pigs are still purchased by the government, but now the country is encouraging the individual economy. Everyone knows that the buying and selling of live pigs will eventually be liberalized, so as long as you don't go too far and don't muddy the waters too much, people will generally give you a job.
Mr. Zhang understands this principle, and Liang Guiying naturally understands it as well.
So when they talked about doing another job, they were testing each other, pretending not to know what was going on.
At home, Zhou Yue had just finished helping Zhou Xiaonian take a bath.
The little girl was wearing the onesie that Liang Guiying had bought for her last time; it was pink and very cute.
Upon seeing Liang Guiying, she ran over with her short legs, calling out, "Grandma! Grandma! Hug me!"
"Oh dear, Grandma's all sweaty, you can't hug her."
The little girl didn't care and clung to his leg, refusing to let go: "Spin me around, spin me around!"
Liang Guiying had no choice but to let her spin around a dozen times before finally taking out the dragon beard candy: "One for each year, one for Mom, and who gets the last one?"
"Grandma! For Grandma!"
"Oh right, the last one is for Grandma!"
Zhou Xiaonian handed a piece of dragon beard candy to Zhou Yue. Turning around, she saw Liang Guiying enjoying the cool shade under a tree. She immediately followed her and sat down next to Liang Guiying, eating the candy while asking all sorts of strange questions.
He was also very curious about the dragon beard candy in Liang Guiying's hand, licked his lips and said, "Grandma, is it delicious?"
Liang Guiying then gave the little girl the side that she hadn't eaten yet to nibble on.
The little girl, who only had eight tiny teeth, gnawed on them with a loud crunching sound: "Sweet!"
Then I tried Zhou Yue's: "It's sweet!"
