The cement work is finished; the remaining work can only begin after the cement floor dries.
So these past few days, Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng went out to sell goods again.
After Yun Ningyan successfully disguised herself at the commune, she went to the black market, waiting for Huo Junshan to bring Yang Dasheng so they could bump into each other.
Huo Junshan originally suggested using the same method as last time, but Yun Ningyan said she also wanted to come and have a look around, so she brought her people with her.
Before long, Huo Junshan arrived with his men and found her directly. Yang Dasheng exclaimed in surprise, "Young brother, we really have a connection. We've met again."
As he spoke, he patted Yun Ningyan on the shoulder.
Seeing this, Huo Junshan wanted to go up and bend his hand.
Yang Dasheng said with a smile, "Brother Huo, such a good opportunity, shall we have another one?"
Huo Junshan nodded. "Okay!"
"What good stuff do you have this time?" Yang Dasheng asked with a smile.
Yun Ningyan said in a high-pitched voice, "Whatever you want, I can get it for you!"
Huo Junshan went straight to the point: "Do you have any radios? I need ten radios, and the same kind of watches as last time, twenty Plum Blossom watches, twenty Shanghai watches, two thousand catties of flour, and one thousand catties of rice."
Last time, he met a black market boss in the next city. He said that if there were any more goods, he could bring them over there, as they had a huge shortage there.
The three agreed to meet by the river to collect the goods. Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng went to get the money, while Yun Ningyan prepared the flour and rice, as well as the radio and watch.
A short while later, Yang Dasheng came over carrying a sack with money. The sack was filled with antiques and calligraphy. Yang Dasheng had collected a lot of these things recently, and he was thinking of using Yun Ningyan to offset part of the money when he met her.
After receiving the money, Yun Ningyan turned and left.
The total cost for this shipment is 7400 yuan.
Watches from Shanghai are now as cheap as 120 yuan each, compared to 130 yuan last time. Radios are 80 yuan each.
Huo Junshan gestured for her to go back early, and she nodded slightly.
Yun Ningyan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. After Huo Junshan returned, they estimated that they could earn 10,000 yuan, and their money was accumulating more and more.
Meng Zhenzhen noticed that Yun Ningyan had returned alone, and Huo Junshan hadn't come over by nightfall. She secretly went to inquire and found out that Huo Junshan had gone out.
These two days happen to be an opportunity.
She needs to carefully plan how to deal with Yun Ningyan.
When she returned, she saw Yun Ningyan cooking alone. She sneered, "Huo Junshan isn't home. Are you going to cook for yourself?"
Yun Ningyan gave her a cold look and said, "None of your business!"
Instead of being angry, she smiled and said, "You've been living at the Huo family's house these past few days. What? Isn't Huo Junshan home? He's willing to let you cook for yourself, but why doesn't he have his mother bring it to you?"
"I don't think the Huo family really likes you!"
Yun Ningyan, tending the fire, coldly replied, "If you like him, then go after him. Why are you daring to provoke me like this? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to hit you?"
As she spoke, she took a burning stick from the stove and swung it at her.
Sparks flew directly onto Meng Zhenzhen's hand, causing her excruciating pain, but she sneered inwardly.
Just in time, she needed to give Li Dawang a strong dose of medicine to make him determined to deal with Yun Ningyan, and this hand injury came at just the right time.
Yun Ningyan thought she would be scared away, but Meng Zhenzhen not only didn't leave, but continued to provoke her, "What? Did I touch a sore spot? Are you hurt? Let me tell you, Huo Junshan dated several girls when he was in high school. If he hadn't graduated, how would it have been your turn?"
Yun Ningyan really wanted to shove the torch into her mouth; why was her mouth so annoying?
His foul mouth kept babbling on and on.
Yun Ningyan stuffed the fire stick into the stove fire, then took out a stick and started hitting Meng Zhenzhen with it, saying, "Your mouth really stinks. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to hit you?"
When Meng Zhenzhen saw that she was serious, she ran away as if she were escaping.
She secretly went to Li Dawang's house. He lived alone with his son. Aunt Li heard from her son that Meng Zhiqing had agreed to date him.
These past few days I've been telling everyone that my son has found a wife in the city.
When she saw Meng Zhenzhen come to her house, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She hurried to the kitchen to boil some eggs for her and took one from the jar where the eggs were kept.
After thinking about it, I took another one.
Li Dawang grinned from ear to ear, "Zhenzhen, what brings you here? My mother went to cook you some eggs."
He reached out to take her hand, and Meng Zhenzhen hissed. Li Dawang was startled and raised his hand to check her hand.
His eyes immediately turned cold. "How did it get like this?"
Tears welled up in Meng Zhenzhen's eyes, and she endured the pain as she said, "It was Yun Ningyan. I only said a few words to her, and she took out a burning torch and hit me. My hands are covered in blisters! She's so cruel!"
Li Dawang said fiercely, "I'm going to find her. You're all educated youth; how could she be so cruel?"
Meng Zhenzhen grabbed him, "Don't go. No one saw it at the time. If she denies it, then we'll be the ones slandering her. She's very sharp-tongued; we can't argue with her."
Li Dawang was getting agitated. He shouted, "This won't work, that won't work, what should I do? It hurts my heart to see your hands like this!"
Meng Zhenzhen wiped away her tears. "She'll go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow. We'll confront her then. With so many people around, I don't believe she'll still be so arrogant!"
Li Dawang nodded. "Okay! I'll go with you tomorrow."
After Meng Zhenzhen had convinced Li Dawang to leave his house, Li's aunt called after her, "Zhenzhen, take these eggs to nourish your body."
Meng Zhenzhen took the eggs and left.
Overjoyed, she said, "This Li Dawang is so easy to fool. I tricked him completely with just a few words."
"Meng Zhenzhen, you're really something! You actually dared to scheme against Yun Ningyan. I respect your courage. Huo Junshan is definitely yours!"
The sound from behind the tree startled her.
She shouted in a low voice, "Who is it! Stop playing tricks and come out!"
A figure slowly emerged from behind the tree; it was Song Pandi.
She was startled when she saw Song Pandi; she hadn't seen her for the past few days and she looked even thinner.
Her face was thin and bony, with prominent cheekbones; she looked nothing like the young girl she had when she first arrived.
But since it was Song Pandi, she wasn't afraid. "What, are you going to tell your cousin on me?"
Song Pandi shook her head. "I won't report her. I wish she were dead. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
"but......"
She suppressed her resentment and looked at Meng Zhenzhen, grinning slightly. Her lips curled up into a chilling smile.
The smile was unusually ferocious and ugly, probably because she was so thin and frail that she looked like a demon when she smiled.
Meng Zhenzhen's body trembled involuntarily. "But what?"
"My mother-in-law wants money recently. If you give me ten yuan, I won't complain. Otherwise, I'll tell Yun Ningyan, and I believe she'll be happy to give me the ten yuan!"
