"Buying groceries? Where are you going to buy groceries these days? The black market?" Ye Ran seized on this question.
At this time of year, most households buy a lot of things and stock up at home, and very few people go out to buy groceries every day.
Yan Wu nodded, "That's right. The heat has died down a bit now, so more and more people are daring to do business on the black market."
They sell all sorts of things, but Wang Yuan's wife always prefers to buy groceries from the same store...
"Buying groceries from the same store? Was there anything unusual about the person who bought the groceries?" Lu Yi felt inexplicably that something was wrong.
"No, the vegetable seller is an old lady who has no children."
She lives in the suburbs. Because she has no children and her husband was a martyr who sacrificed his life, the people around her have taken good care of her over the years.
Even though she casually cleared a plot of land to grow vegetables and sold them on the black market every day, no one said anything. Yan Wu told him what he knew.
"A martyr?" Yan Ning frowned. "Who was her husband?"
Yan Wu shook her head. "I don't know. I even went to ask, but no one knows who her husband is."
I only heard her say that her husband had died in battle...
"Is she receiving a martyr's allowance? Such an old lady."
"She has no children, and her husband is a martyr; the government should provide martyr allowances," Lu Ting asked.
"No, she said she didn't know her husband's unit, so she didn't go to pick it up."
"Don't know? Impossible. Surely you must know his name?"
"Didn't she know that she could say her name and then the government would help her verify her information to receive the pension?" Even Lu Tian frowned at this.
Yan Wu's expression immediately turned grim; he had been careless...
Ye Ran's expression wasn't good. "I have a feeling this old lady is more than she seems..."
“That’s right!” Lu Yi tapped the table lightly. “This old lady is definitely not simple.”
"It's strange in itself that an old woman would have the courage to grow vegetables and sell them on the black market under such circumstances."
If I were childless, I would never do such a thing.
Since I don't have any ambitions anyway, wouldn't it be better to just live a peaceful and comfortable life until the end?
"Why do we still go through the trouble of running from the suburbs to the black market to sell vegetables every day?" Ran Yu analyzed.
"That's right! An old lady, spending every day among a group of young people just to sell a few vegetables?"
"Wang Yuan's wife goes to buy it every day, there must be something fishy going on!" Lu Yi said.
Lu Tian and Yan Ning exchanged a glance. If this old lady really had something going on, then it was no simple matter...
She was an old woman living in the suburbs of Beijing, traveling between the city and the suburbs every day, and who knows how many people she would come into contact with during that time.
Moreover, being so close, she would know everything that was happening in Beijing.
Seeing the sudden seriousness on the faces of the elders, Yan Wu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is all because I wasn't careful enough."
Lu Yi patted his shoulder, "It's alright, we found out, didn't we?"
Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right. Now that we've made a discovery, we've taken the lead."
"Lu Yi, go and take a look tomorrow!"
"good!"
The next day, Lu Yi and Ye Ran quietly arrived at the black market...
