Lin Tao wanted to scream, but Yama covered his mouth tightly.
In his terror, he fainted.
He didn't know how much time had passed when his face was slapped hard. He gradually woke up, still feeling lingering fear, and pulled his feet back, curling up into a ball.
"I've already killed the snake." Yama sat to the side, wiping his knife.
The large snake had become limp and hung on the stroller like a rubber band.
Lin Tao gasped. He had only come to buy goods and didn't want to lose his life.
He immediately took the money out of his pocket and handed it over, avoiding eye contact.
"Brother, take all this money, just spare my life."
Yama chuckled, his laughter tinged with a sense of desolation.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. You just need to do things for me."
"What is it?" His heart was in his throat.
"Have you heard of Brother Black?" Yama asked him in return.
Seeing him shake his head vigorously, he said indifferently:
"His real name is Lin Chen, and he lives in Chayuan Village. I used to be the boss of this black market, but now he has taken all my business away, and I have to become a middleman."
Do you think someone like that deserves to die?
Lin Tao had already moved to Bengbu when he heard Lin Chen's name. No wonder he was so powerful now; he had become a black market boss.
When he heard again that he deserved to die, he was so shocked that he lost all expression.
It's just that someone stole business; there's no need to kill them, is there?
Besides, he's his own brother.
Seeing him completely stunned, Yama sneered:
"Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to kill anyone. You just need to do something bad behind my back."
Lin Tao laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, I can do that."
Damn it, did he even need to say it? He'd disliked Lin Chen for a long time.
To give Lin Tao a little something in return, the King of Hell took one hundred yuan from him and gave him one hundred feet of cloth, which made him extremely happy.
Selling these 100 feet of cloth will earn you 200 yuan in one go.
This guy is a good friend; it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.
After returning from the black market, he secretly started a reselling business.
Seeing so many beautiful pieces of Dacron fabric, Yu Xiaofeng started selling them everywhere.
Qin Hui also had three friends, and Yu Xiaofeng also had quite a few similar people, both trivial and trivial.
He was overjoyed because he couldn't buy cloth from Jiang Ning after being turned down, but she was selling it for 50 cents less than the market price, only 3 yuan per foot.
Yu Meili even bought ten feet in one go.
When Aunt Luo heard this, she was furious and asked her why she insisted on buying Yu Xiaofeng's cloth, since she had brought home Dacron cloth before.
Moreover, the cloth she received from Jiang Ning was only two pieces at cost price.
Yu Meili said dismissively, "I just like this color, and I'm happy with it."
"Fine, if you're willing, but why are you asking me for money?"
“You’re working for Jiang Ning now, shouldn’t you get paid? Don’t tell me you haven’t earned any money. If they don’t pay you, I’ll come and ask for it.”
Seeing that she was about to run to Lin Chen's house, Aunt Luo had no choice but to take out thirty yuan and give it to her.
Because of this, Yu Meili has taken money from her countless times.
If they don't give it to me, I'll threaten to cause trouble.
She really didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Ningtian, and all the little money she earned ended up in Yu Meili's pocket.
It's not easy to talk about this with my son, Luo Tiegang, because if I do, the two of us will argue again.
Yu Meili either makes a scene about going back to her parents' home or threatens to bang her head against a wall.
While everyone else was working hard to make money, Yu Meili became increasingly idle by exploiting them.
Normally, I'm too lazy to even cook, let alone go to work.
Aunt Luo sighed frequently while doing her work, so Wang Xiufen asked her what was wrong.
She then told her about Yu Meili asking her for money to buy fabric.
"That Yu Meili is really something. I used to treat her like a sister, but I never expected her to be this kind of person. If she wants to buy fabric, she should earn the money herself. What's the point of asking others for it?"
It's not like we earn money easily; we still have to work our way up little by little.
Liu Fang, who was sewing clothes on a sewing machine, was very dissatisfied.
Wang Xiufen's face also fell, and she echoed:
"That's right. Everyone sees how glamorous we are and how much money we make, but they don't see how tired we are! We're never idle all day long, and our hands and feet have developed problems."
Aunt Luo, you only earn twenty yuan a month with all your hard work, how dare she ask for thirty?
Next time, don't spoil her. Let her come to our house and cause trouble. I want to see what she can do!
Aunt Luo felt comforted as they spoke up for her, but she still said:
"After all, she's the wife that Tie Gang married. It wouldn't look good if I really argued with her. Besides, I can't always be a burden to you. If it weren't for the money I earn for your family, things would be really tough for us."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fang asked suspiciously, "Isn't your youngest son working on a construction team now?"
The construction team has recently stipulated that workers must earn at least 80 cents a day to ensure their livelihood.
Just as Aunt Luo was about to speak, Lin Qiao walked in.
"You don't know, Brother Guangming is now a leader, he's the deputy captain."
The advantage of being the deputy team leader is that you get to use your own salary to cover the project's expenses.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Could such a thing really exist?
Lin Qiao didn't want to believe it either, but she saw it with her own eyes—he used his own money to buy soda for the workers.
He also used his own money to settle a small amount of payment for the goods.
She had come to see him today with her top-ranked report card, but instead she saw that scene.
She was so angry she almost laughed.
It didn't seem like a big deal that I didn't get a job at the textile factory.
Aunt Luo was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and could only console herself by saying that since he was keeping all the money himself, he should just let him handle it as he pleased.
Just then, Jiang Ning returned from outside and overheard that Lin Qiao hadn't gone into the textile factory. She hurriedly asked her what was going on.
Didn't they say that after the recruitment exam was canceled, another one was organized, and she participated in it? How come she was still not selected?
"I don't understand either. I thought I answered the questions quite well, but I only got 50 points. Gao Xiaolan got 90 points and said she was sure to get a job in the textile factory."
I asked the class teacher, He Man, but she couldn't explain it either. She just said that the factory's personnel department definitely recruited students based on their scores.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning patted her shoulder to comfort her:
"Every cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps fate has a better plan for you. Given your current situation, working in a textile factory would only make you a worker with very little room for advancement, which would be a waste of your talents."
You should wait for the opportunity to take the college entrance examination and go to university...
Lin Qiao's initially sad mood was comforted.
"However, I was not eligible to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
"The Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University is meaningless. If you want to go, you have to rely on your own abilities to get in. Your future will definitely be bright."
Jiang Ning spoke with such passion that she was immediately captivated.
She propped herself up on her arms, made a forward motion, and smiled:
"Forward for the modernization of our motherland!"
At the same time, Gao Xiaolan, like a proud peacock, announced the good news of her entry into the textile factory to Gao Qiang and Li Ying.
