Chapter 43 This Woman Doesn't Need to Be Saved
Even if there is space, you can't put it there directly, you have to go to a place where there is no one, so Huang Ling packed up her things quickly.
This oilcloth bag was designed by her. It is actually a plus version of a drawstring bag. Just pull the two threads and everything is in the bag. You can put it on your back and run.
Much faster than others and won’t spill.
In order to avoid being caught, she runs every day to exercise, trying to become as fast as a sprinter and manage her figure at the same time.
She was running very fast, but she didn't expect everyone to catch up with her. She didn't know who tripped her, and just as she was about to fly out, someone grabbed her arm and tried to pull the big bag off her shoulder.
What’s going on!
Bold thief!
They stole my goods in broad daylight!
You can take my life, but you can't take my goods!
Huang Ling didn't think twice and threw an elbow.
The person next to her reacted quickly and held her elbow with his big hand.
"It's me!"
Huang Ling turned around and saw that it was Zhou Huaiyi, and she loosened her grip.
“Run!”
Zhou Huaiyi put the bag on his shoulder and ran forward, and Huang Ling quickly followed.
When they ran to a fork in the road, everyone else was running forward. Huang Ling wanted to stop Zhou Huaiyi, but he seemed to have the same idea as Huang Ling, and the two of them turned into the fork in the road.
Huang Ling waved to him, and the two of them went into a dilapidated house to take shelter temporarily.
Zhou Huaiyi took a look and realized that they had explored the route in advance!
"Comrade Zhou..., why are you here?"
"I came...to buy something."
"Why are you running when you're buying things?"
"I......"
He wanted to say that he saw an acquaintance who had quit her job as a worker and was about to set up a stall, and was about to go up to say hello, but he saw that she was about to be caught, and she was running away in a panic. He was afraid that she might break her front teeth, so he followed her to save her life.
But he swallowed his words.
"Thank you!" Huang Ling nodded in gratitude. She then asked, "Comrade Zhou, I'll see if I have anything you want to buy. I'll give you a discount. Please don't report me."
Zhou Huaiyi scratched his forehead.
"I know you're honest, but you know, our family is in a very difficult situation. My man is unreliable, so I can only rely on myself. I didn't steal or rob, right? And you just helped me, so you're considered an accomplice."
Zhou Huaiyi stared at her with eyes wide open: You can say anything! How come you have a mouth like that?
Huang Ling put on a smile and said, "I'll charge you the cost for whatever you want."
She knew that she couldn't tell him she was giving it to him, as that would be a mistake.
"No, thanks, you don't have any." Zhou Huaiyi didn't know what to buy, so he evaded the question.
Huang Ling had no choice but to give up. She went out to see that the people setting up stalls had already gone back one after another.
"Comrade Zhou, I'm leaving. Goodbye!" She picked up the bag from the ground, put it on her back, and walked away with big strides, just like last time.
Zhou Huaiyi chased after him this time: "Wait!"
Huang Ling stopped to look at him, and he took the bag from her hand.
"what"
"Am I not an accomplice?"
Huang Ling's mouth twitched: "I didn't expect that someone like you would joke."
Zhou Huaiyi didn't say anything and helped Huang Ling carry the bag back to its original place. Huang Ling spread the things out again and found that Zhou Huaiyi was staring at a plaid jacket in a daze.
“I like the jacket and want to give it to someone else.”
Zhou Huaiyi nodded.
"Oh!" Huang Ling said with a clear expression, "Whether you are fat or thin, what color do you like?"
I knew he was a widower, so he must have bought it for his girlfriend.
With his conditions, he is considered a diamond bachelor in this era.
"About the same size as you, a little taller than you, like... I should like this one." Zhou Huaiyi thought for a while and answered.
"Okay, twenty-five. Buy a coat and get a bow-tie shirt for free." Huang Ling said happily.
"So cheap, you..."
"Comrade Zhou, don't worry. I sold a set to others for thirty dollars, and I only gave you a discount of five dollars. Our acquaintance is always worth five dollars!" Huang Ling's voice was so sincere that Zhou Huaiyi couldn't help but believe it.
He pulled out a neatly folded blue plaid handkerchief from his pocket, unfolded it, and said to Huang Ling:
"I don't have enough money. I'll give you a ten-dollar deposit. Can you keep it for me? I'll come back to you later and we can exchange the money and the goods. How about that?"
"Look at what you said. It's not like I can't find you! Can you, Director Zhou, run away? Take the clothes first! I'll be setting up a stall again this time next week. Someone has already ordered clothes. Just give me the money when the time comes."
After saying that, Huang Ling took out a butter paper bag, folded the coat and shirt, put them into the bag, and handed it to Zhou Huaiyi.
"I can't..."
"I'll charge you five dollars first. You owe it anyway, so don't worry if you want to buy something else later and don't have enough money."
Zhou Huaiyi was a little hesitant.
Huang Ling knew he was in trouble when she saw his honest look, so she took out a small notebook from her pocket, wrote a twenty-yuan IOU and asked him to sign it.
At this, Zhou Huaiyi's eyebrows opened up, he signed his name, and then explained:
"If I can't come at this time next week, maybe I'm on a business trip or something. You must come to the factory with the IOU. You know where my office is anyway."
"Okay!" Huang Ling nodded happily.
Zhou Huaiyi went to other stalls to find what he wanted.
Huang Ling had no business at the moment, so she stared at him to see what he wanted to buy.
He was squatting in front of a stall, with one knee lowered, his back still straight and his posture good.
Huang Ling looked down at herself again, squatting like a fool, and twitched her lips.
Zhou Huaiyi was just like the underground party members, he knew that the things he bought could not be shown to others.
Huang Ling knew what was sold at that stall: men's vests, underwear, and socks.
She withdrew her gaze and focused on her business.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and red plaid coats are selling especially well. Someone came in the morning to see one but didn't have enough money, so he went back to get more money to buy it, hoping to try his luck and see if Huang Ling was still there.
There were also people from other stalls coming to patronize her stall.
Now comes the problem of good business.
Some people are jealous.
Two street urchins walked up to Huang Ling's stall.
Huang Ling saw that the two men had bad intentions, so she took the bag when they approached. One of them was about to kick them up, but he missed.
"Hey! That's pretty cool! Hurry up and leave! You are not allowed to set up here! This is..." said one of them.
Before he could finish his words, Huang Ling pulled out a red brick from under her butt.
"Hey, you still want to hit someone? How can you beat a man?"
"We can't win." Huang Ling shook her head.
The two men laughed.
"But I can hit myself and then blame it on you. You two are guilty of hooliganism. Go to hell." Huang Ling raised the brick and was about to hit herself on the head.
The two men looked at each other and felt that it was impossible for her to do that.
"Try it, huh?" Huang Ling raised her hand fiercely.
The two men were stunned.
Huang Ling stood up and said to the people setting up stalls around her, "Everyone, remember these two. If they don't let me set up shop here, none of you will be able to. I will report you every day! They'll be held responsible!"
Someone stood up and said, "Don't make trouble here, it's not easy!"
"Yes, yes! Each to his own business!"
Seeing that everyone was sticking together, the two men could only flee in panic.
Zhou Huaiyi picked up the things he had just bought and thrown back on the stall.
Finally, he concluded: This woman doesn't need to be saved.
