Soon, Zhang Meng left the shantytown under the leadership of Qin Shuangshuang.
After leaving the shantytown, walk for another ten minutes and you will reach another paradise in Shanghai, the Shanghai city area.
Compared to the shantytowns, this place is like heaven, with fresh air and all the houses are apartment-style.
"Cousin, do you know there is a black market here?" Zhang Meng walked up to her, took her arm, and whispered in her ear.
Qin Shuangshuang looked at her in surprise. Zhang Meng smiled and explained, "I have money on hand, but I don't have a ticket. I can only go there to exchange something."
Qin Shuangshuang smiled shyly, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I know, cousin, I'll take you there."
After walking down the street and turning into a few alleys, the two finally arrived at a dark and somewhat dirty alley.
"Cousin, please don't dislike this place." Looking at this dirty and messy place, Qin Shuangshuang was really worried that her cousin would dislike it.
Zhang Meng looked around the place curiously, her heart now completely excited. Suddenly, she heard Qin Shuangshuang's words. After a moment's hesitation, she immediately realized what she meant and responded with a generous smile, "What's there to dislike? As long as I can buy good things, no matter how smelly the place is, it's fine."
Qin Shuangshuang smiled back and took her inside. As they walked inside, Zhang Meng realized that there were people guarding the outside of the alley.
Later, she heard Qin Shuangshuang say that as long as the people who came here were not regular customers, the gatekeeper would send a secret signal to the vendors selling things inside, and in less than a few minutes, those people inside would disappear without a trace.
After hearing this, Zhang Meng couldn't help but give several thumbs up to the minds of businessmen in this era.
"Xiao Qin, you're here. What do you want to buy today? I have some chickens here. Do you want some? They're raised at home, and the meat is so fat and tender."
As soon as she walked into the innermost part of this street, a man dressed as a farmer appeared next to her and introduced the things he wanted to buy to Qin Shuangshuang.
"Uncle, I'm not buying chicken today, thank you." Qin Shuangshuang refused embarrassedly.
Last time, because her grandfather was ill and needed nutrition, she had a deal with this man.
When the man heard that she didn't want to buy it, his attitude became much colder.
Zhang Meng looked at the fat hen that someone was carrying and thought of the fragrant chicken soup, her mouth was watering.
"How much is your hen?" Zhang Meng asked, pointing at the hen.
The man, who was about to sit back down on the ground, stood up again when he heard Zhang Meng's question and came over happily, "Fifteen yuan, no ticket needed."
Zhang Meng calculated that the chickens sold in shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives cost more than ten yuan, and a ticket was required. With this calculation, fifteen yuan a chicken now doesn't seem too expensive.
"I want it. And give me your cage too. I'll give you an extra fifty cents."
When the man heard that the cage he wove himself could be sold for fifty cents, he was overjoyed. Fearing that Zhang Meng would go back on her word, he immediately brought the chicken and the cage over.
After getting fifteen yuan and fifty cents, the man ran out stealthily.
Qin Shuangshuang stamped her feet anxiously, "Cousin, why did you spend fifty cents to buy this chicken coop? If you want a chicken coop, my dad can also weave it, so just let him weave it for you. You spent fifty cents on it, what a waste."
Zhang Meng looked at Qin Shuangshuang, who finally had a bit of girlish air, smiled slightly, patted her arm and said, "I bought this chicken coop for a use. Don't worry, your cousin-in-law will not do business at a loss. Let's go on and go shopping. By the way, do you have any rice, oil, salt, etc. at home? If not, buy them all here." Zhang Meng asked Qin Shuangshuang behind her as they walked.
In the end, Zhang Meng almost bought everything on this black market. If it weren't for the fact that buying too much would attract attention, Zhang Meng really wanted to buy all the things on this black market.
On the way back, Qin Shuangshuang, who was already familiar with Zhang Meng, was now able to speak her mind freely. She looked at the contents of the chicken coop and the rice and flour on her back, and her pretty face, which should have been filled with joy, now showed an expression of bewilderment.
"Okay, you just bought a few things. Do you have to look at me like you've been bullied? Come on, smile for me, okay?" Zhang Meng teased her with a smile.
Qin Shuangshuang was stunned at first, then she laughed out loud, "Cousin! You are so bad." Her face was full of the shyness of a little girl.
Zhang Meng followed suit with a smile, but it suddenly faded. She said nonchalantly, "Girls should be happy like this. And you should protect yourself well. Don't touch anything. Do you hear me?"
Qin Shuangshuang was surprised, and her face quickly changed to a panic expression to cover up her inner uneasiness. "Cousin, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Zhang Meng looked at her and smiled for a while. When she was about to scare Qin Shuangshuang half to death, she suddenly said in a relaxed tone, "If you don't understand, forget it. But since your cousin treats you like a family member, I'm advising you to avoid touching that kind of thing if you can. Once you do, it won't be easy to get rid of it."
Qin Shuangshuang was slightly stunned as she looked at the slender back of Zhang Meng who had already left, her heart beating fast.
Even her family didn't know what she did, so how could her cousin-in-law know it, and know it so clearly.
After returning to the Qin family, Mu Sanniang was still worried about today's dinner.
As a result, I saw my nephew's wife and biological daughter who had been out for a while, both of them were carrying a lot of things back home.
"Where did all this come from?" Mu Sanniang closed the door as soon as they entered the house. Now she was leaning against the door panel, looking at them nervously and asked.
"Mom, my cousin's wife bought it." Qin Shuangshuang explained honestly with a headache.
Mu Sanniang immediately looked at Zhang Meng. Before she could speak, Zhang Meng spoke first, "Aunt, Gu Mingtai and I didn't bring anything with us this time. Consider these as my gifts to you. You must accept them. Otherwise, Gu Mingtai and I won't dare come to your house again next time."
Thinking that she was also at fault this time, Qin Shuangshuang also chimed in, "Yes, Mom, just accept it first. After all, my cousins are not outsiders."
Mu Sanniang glared at Qin Shuangshuang and said through gritted teeth, "I'll settle your account with you later."
When looking at Zhang Meng, Mu Sanniang's expression changed again, and she said kindly, "Mingtai's wife, I will accept it this time, but please don't buy it next time. If your grandfather knew about this, he would definitely scold me to death."
"I understand, aunt. I'll listen to you next time." Zhang Meng smiled secretly in her heart. She'll talk about the next matter next time.
