The two went to the black market and bought a lot of things, and soon they had almost spent all their money.
Gu Sinian forcefully pulled his young wife away from the black market.
“We’ve bought enough. We need to keep some money to live on back at our base. We can’t spend it all.”
Su Ying didn't care about the money at all. She patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Have you forgotten that we'll be passing through Guangshi and doing business with Grandma Hao on our way back to Beijing?"
Gu Sinian knew about this and understood it, "But didn't Grandma Hao say that they have a lot of old things?"
Su Ying had completely forgotten about this...
"Alright then. Let's not buy it and go home."
Gu Sinian's face lit up with joy. His little wife's spending power was extraordinary; she had spent nearly several hundred yuan in just a few hours of shopping.
Spending money like water.
If we don't exercise more restraint, how much more gossip will we have to endure when we return to our post?
Although there are plenty of supplies in the space, enough for a family to eat for a very long time, it would be strange if the whole family could still have enough to eat without going out to buy groceries every day.
It's better to be realistic.
His original promotion was lost due to Ms. Li Yaxian's brainless actions, so he didn't stay in the position of regimental commander forever.
Three years have passed, and his position has remained unchanged, nor has his salary increased.
This resulted in the young wife not even having enough money to spend.
He was leading his young wife outside when suddenly a commotion arose nearby.
Driven by curiosity, Su Ying pulled Gu Sinian to the front to find the best spot to watch the show.
Amidst the commotion, Su Ying finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that this drug dealer was selling counterfeit drugs, which led to today's disruption.
"Stop smashing it! My medicine is just some herbs. It can only work temporarily and doesn't have an immediate effect. You're already saying I'm selling fake medicine? Is there no justice in this world?"
The chubby man said, "If painkillers weren't in short supply at the hospital, would I have gone to the black market to buy these lousy herbs of yours? They not only have no effect, but they seem to have made things worse."
The white-haired old man spat and said, "Stop slandering me. As long as you take your medicine as prescribed, the pain will gradually decrease. It takes time."
"It's not some kind of Western medicine... It'll stop the pain right away, stop arguing."
Su Ying frowned. This white-haired old man was really going too far. The painkillers from his family didn't work, so wasn't it normal for him to talk to the person involved?
What kind of talk is this?
Her grandmother's painkillers were very effective; the powder would work instantly.
Su Ying prepared to step forward. She had already observed that the fat man looked like he was either rich or noble. Perhaps Western medicine was really in short supply, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the black market to find medicine.
Gu Sinian seemed to have guessed what Su Ying was planning to do, and grabbed her, asking, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"To make money."
The man thought he had misheard. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this make money?"
"Just you wait and see."
What was his young wife up to now? Suddenly, his mind went blank for a moment, and he realized something.
He pulled her back into his arms. "What are you doing? You're not thinking of selling the medicine prescription Grandma Su left you, are you?"
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? I would never sell the medicine prescription my grandmother left me."
“Our living conditions are a bit poor right now, and we’re short of money. I’m planning to sell the few bottles of painkillers in my space to get some money to buy more supplies.”
"They call them supplies, but they're just malted milk powder, milk powder, and walnuts for children. I saw a lot of walnuts over there, and I wanted to buy more for the children."
Selling medicine.
He had no grounds to stop it.
After all, we are indeed quite short of money right now.
Businesses aren't allowed right now. Let's think about what we can do to make life a little easier for everyone when we get back to our base.
Most of the women in the family compound are unemployed and rely entirely on their husbands' wages to support the whole family.
Even though his family is so well-off, his wife says they are poor and don't have enough money.
Other people's lives are just going to be even harder.
After my vacation, I'll bring this up with my father-in-law.
Anyway, everyone was used to him reporting to higher-ups without consulting them.
After all, his relationship with Qin Fang was no secret in the garrison.
Everyone knows that he married Chief Qin's daughter.
"There are too many people here, so let's go back. We're not worried about food or clothing anyway, and we can figure out the money later."
"No way. Opportunities to make money like this are rare; if we miss them, they're gone forever."
"Actually, that chubby guy is perfectly healthy. He's probably just in a lot of pain because he injured his leg and didn't have any painkillers."
"He will recover quickly after taking a few painkillers, and judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a poor person."
Gu Sinian still disagreed, saying that it would be troublesome if they were targeted by someone just to earn that little bit of money.
No one understands the black market better than him.
If someone starts watching you, you'll be in trouble.
In Beijing, Gu Sinian would never allow Su Ying to go to the black market. It's too close, and if she gets caught... that would be troublesome... being discharged from the military would be the least of it; if it escalates to a military court, that would be even worse.
Not only is he finished, but even those in the Qin family with kinship ties will suffer.
He wouldn't dare gamble.
He was very discreet in Beijing and never went to the black market.
"Let's go, we can't attract too much attention."
"No. I'll only sell some medicine; I won't do anything else."
“Sakura.”
"stop."
Su Ying gestured for him to stop, and Gu Sinian obediently shut his mouth.
It's better to do it sooner rather than later. He could sense that something was off about the atmosphere around him; it was probably the aura he had as a soldier.
He glanced furtively into the distance and indeed saw several malicious gazes.
No wonder this old man can openly extort money from us; he must have powerful backers.
They can sell a few herbs as painkillers; what a swindler.
His young wife has stolen someone else's business, and there will be trouble later. He has to stay by her side and run away immediately if things go wrong.
He followed his wife wherever she went, a complete tagalong.
Su Ying stepped forward to promote her medicine, "Brother, I heard you're looking for painkillers. I have a lot of family-inherited secret medicines here. Would you like to try them?"
The chubby man didn't want to suffer anymore. He had heard that there was a good drug dealer on the black market whose medicine was quite effective, so he came to try his luck.
I didn't expect to make such a wasted trip, getting nothing in return, and even worsening the pain in my wound. I ended up paying money to suffer.
He didn't want to get hurt again. "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. I'll wait for the Western medicine from the hospital to arrive. I dare not use these unknown drugs again."
"Try it for free. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay. If it works, you can pay later. My medicine has an immediate effect, but the herbs are expensive and the quantity is small. First come, first served."
