"Director Shi, if I hadn't run fast, my mother and I would have been killed. Aren't our lives worth this? I'm only doing this for your sake. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with people like this and would just send them to jail."
Director Shi earnestly advised Huang Jinhua: "Jinhua! Are you stupid? The child's future is more important!"
Huang Jinhua pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and nodded in agreement.
But her face was very ugly, and she cursed in her heart: "Little bitch, every penny you took from me, one day I will make you spit it all out."
…
Wang Xiaolan was in a particularly happy mood after receiving the compensation. On the way home, she saw villagers walking out of the village in groups of three or four, carrying their own mountain products.
Then she remembered that today was the day of the big market. She returned home, took out all the wild angelica that she had accumulated for many days, put it in a backpack, and then took her two children out.
She first went to Mr. Zhao Er's house and asked them to take care of Dabao.
After coming out of Master Zhao Er's house, she found a deserted place, entered the space, put Xiaobao into the space and let the robot Xiaoyi take care of it.
When she came out of the space and was left alone, she suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
Carrying a bamboo basket, walking up the mountain road was a bit tiring, but it was much faster than the flat mountain road.
Wang Xiaolan went down the mountain and soon arrived at the town. At this time, the town was bustling with people, all kinds of goods were on display, and the sounds of shouting were heard one after another. Wang Xiaolan didn't care about much else and went straight to the Chinese medicine shop.
There were far fewer people in the store than outside. When the boss saw someone coming, he hurried forward to greet them.
Wang Xiaolan took out a bag of angelica from her backpack and handed it to the boss.
The boss opened the package and the angelica inside immediately appeared, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Then he took out one of them, smelled it again and again, looked at it again and again, then tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is the first time I've seen such top-quality stuff. Miss, please name a price."
"Boss, you've seen this angelica too. It's up to you to decide the price!"
The boss put the angelica on the scale, weighed it, and said, "You have five pounds here. How about fifty yuan? No more."
Wang Xiaolan thought about it and realized that this was equivalent to two months' salary for an ordinary worker. She readily agreed and took the money to thank the owner.
As she reached the door, the boss came out from the counter and said, "Girl, next time I have this kind of goods, I will still give it to you at this price."
"OK."
Wang Xiaolan came out of the drugstore happily. This was the first huge sum of money she had earned since she came to this world, and she walked with great joy.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she ran into the auntie selling tickets. The auntie came over and whispered to her about her tickets. Wang Xiaolan also bought some sugar tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, grain tickets and other things from her.
Wang Xiaolan bought various in-demand supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative. It filled a large basket and was very tiring to carry.
She felt that if she went back like this, it would arouse other people's suspicion and jealousy, and they would think that she was engaged in speculative business.
So, she found a secluded place and put most of her things into the space.
She came to a state-owned restaurant and bought a bowl of noodles. Before she sat down, a man in black suddenly bumped into her. She subconsciously touched her pocket and found that her money was gone, so she put down the bowl and chased after him.
Seeing Wang Xiaolan chasing him, the thief sped up and rushed into an alley. It was a dead end with a wall in front. He jumped over it and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily and counting his money.
"Have you counted them? Give them to me." Wang Xiaolan walked up to him and stretched out her hand.
The thief looked up and saw that it was Wang Xiaolan. He was shocked. Is this still a person? Where did she come from?
As soon as the thief stood up, Wang Xiaolan kicked him hard on the ankle, causing him to scream in pain.
"Help! Someone is stealing money?" the thief shouted.
"Go ahead and yell! It's only natural that I should get my money back. People like you would have been registered with the police station long ago."
Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, the thief tried to use force, but Wang Xiaolan twisted his arm and he screamed in pain.
There was no choice but to hand over all the money and tickets. Wang Xiaolan counted them and then turned and left.
The thief's curse came from behind Wang Xiaolan.
"Bah! Damn, bad luck."
Wang Xiaolan sneered: "This aunt is in a good mood, otherwise you would be miserable."
She arrived at the restaurant. When the waitress saw her come in, she quickly brought out the noodles and returned the basket to her.
"Is it coming?" the waitress asked with concern.
Wang Xiaolan nodded, took the bowl of noodles, found a place to sit down, and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.
"You're the first one to ask for your money back. You're really lucky. This guy is a regular here. They're a gang. We can't do anything to them. We can only remind customers to be careful."
Wang Xiaolan chuckled and didn't reply, continuing to eat her noodles. She finished her bowl of noodles in no time, thanked the waitress, and continued to stroll around the market with her backpack on her back. A familiar figure flashed before her eyes.
"Brother Long, Brother Long." Someone suddenly called out.
Wang Xiaolan saw the man in black and thought, "Isn't that the thief from earlier?" She quietly followed him to the end of the road.
