After selling all her goods, Zhao Kelan prepared to head into the village, as she was still a little scared to be alone.
Zhao Kelan has already attracted attention because she always pays attention to her image and dresses beautifully. After all, if she goes door to door selling things and dresses so beautifully, she will be targeted sooner or later.
Just as she was about to walk into the village, someone stopped her. "Young lady, are you traveling alone?"
"Where are you going? I just saw you going from house to house. What are you doing? What's in your basket? Do you have any grain?"
"No, really no, nothing's wrong, I'm leaving now," Zhao Kelan said nervously.
A cold sweat broke out on his body. After all, he was alone and couldn't go into the space. If there was danger, he really wouldn't be able to escape.
Seeing her leave, the group stopped her, snatched her basket from her back, and checked if there was any food inside.
The group of people lifted the baskets, only to find them empty, which made them even angrier.
The leader said, "Search her for money and ration coupons. She must have sold the grain."
The group started searching her things, and Zhao Kelan burst into tears. This was the first time she had encountered something like this, but she couldn't just surrender without a fight. She had to think of a way to deal with it quickly.
"Brothers, wait a minute. I don't have any money. I'm just doing this for someone else. The money doesn't go through my hands. If you want food, I'll take you there. Please spare me."
"I'll spare you, but we don't even know if what you're saying is true or false, so how can we believe you?"
"Hey guys, I'll take you there, okay? Where can a woman like me go?"
The group exchanged glances. The grain was far more important than the woman; they could deal with her later after getting the grain.
Then you take us there. If you dare to mess with us, you know the consequences.
I know, brother. Don't worry, I'll take you there right away.
Zhao Kelan was thinking that if she went to the city first, she would still have a chance to escape; it was too dangerous to be in the wilderness.
Upon arriving in the city, Zhao Kelan first went to one of the shops she had previously traded with. She knocked on the door and went inside, where people were watching her from the entrance.
Zhao Kelan put the grain from her spatial storage into her backpack, and knelt down as soon as she entered the house, pleading, "Auntie, please save me."
"I was trying to earn some money to treat my mother's illness, but when I got home, someone was watching me. I wanted to see if you could help me, auntie, because my mother is waiting for me at home."
The old woman was also afraid because of this grain exchange, and worried that she would be implicated, so she asked, "Then how can I help you, young lady?"
"Auntie, give me all the grain you just bought, and I'll give you an extra 5 yuan."
"The moment I step out the door, you report me and get people to arrest me. Otherwise, I won't survive today. Auntie, please have pity on me. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"If you ask me what to do, why I reported it, what should I say?"
Auntie, just say: "These men offered to exchange grain for you, but you refused, so they came here specifically to report you. You don't need to worry about the rest. I'll hand over all the grain to them in a bit, and then this has nothing to do with you."
"You're just going to insist you never saw me."
"Will this work? I'm scared too. This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
Zhao Kelan grabbed the old woman's hand, "Auntie, please have pity on me. If these people aren't caught, they'll harm you because they see you have grain."
“How dare they do this in broad daylight? Your family will be targeted sooner or later.”
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded. After all, she was worried that her family would be targeted, and she had given an extra 5 yuan, so it was reasonable.
