Liu Chunxing returned to the room angrily, slammed the door, and sat on the kang. She wanted to throw everything to pieces, but she had to put everything down as soon as she picked it up.

She had almost spent all her money, had no more tickets, and had eaten up all the things she had bought.

The things Wang Lingling brought with her when she went to the countryside were only enough for her to use for a little over a month, but these things supported the two of them for two months. Even though she hid the food and refused to cook enough for every meal, there was nothing left by now.

Not to mention daily necessities like toothpaste and soap. Although it is unbearable without these things, at least we can still survive. The serious problem is food.

She only had half a month's worth of food left, most of which were coarse grains distributed by the team.

But there are still almost two months before the autumn harvest and grain distribution. What should we do with the remaining one and a half months?

Even if she ate sparingly and only ate until she was three-quarters full every day, she wouldn't be able to last for two months.

What's more, I have to work every day, how can I be full with just this little food?

We must think of a solution!

There is absolutely no way her family would give her anything. They didn't give her anything when she went to the countryside. They even asked her to work hard and send food home. How could they possibly support her?

At times like this, I really envy Wang Lingling and Yi Qingqing for their good fortunes. They are also girls, but they are spoiled by their families. However, Liu Chunxing can only work hard on her own. Doesn't she want to be kind?

If she hadn't stolen or robbed, she would have starved to death eight hundred years ago. Her older sisters didn't even live to adulthood. How did they die? It was because of their own stupidity. They didn't know how to find a way to survive.

How was Liu Chunxing any worse than others? Why did she have to live like this? Why did Wang Lingling, Yi Qingqing, Li Mengxue, and Qian Lailai all live better than her?

She was unwilling to accept this. She couldn't live any longer, so of course she had to find a way from others!

………………

"Thank you for reminding me before. I was blind before. This is a thank you gift. Please accept it," said Wang Lingling, holding an oil-paper bag.

Yi Qingqing just felt that the show was over, so she stood up and stretched, intending to go back to the house to continue her work. When she heard this, she was stunned. There was also a thank-you gift for her?

Seeing that she didn't take it, Wang Lingling stuffed the oil paper bag into her hand and left.

It was such an awkward way to give a gift, but I was quite happy to receive the thank-you gift.

Yi Qingqing went back to the house humming a half-melodies.

I opened the oil paper package and saw that it was a bag of melon seeds, spiced. I ate one and it was just a little bit different from what I had signed in for.

As he was knocking, there were two knocks on Yi Qingqing's open door.

"Comrade Yi, did you meet Meng Xue later today?" Zheng Xiaolong asked her anxiously.

"No, what happened?" Yi Qingqing asked curiously.

"She hasn't come back yet and it's almost dark. I'm afraid something has happened to her. No, I have to go find her," Zheng Xiaolong said and ran away.

Not back? It's really getting late now.

Oh, and there's the gold bar thing! The gang should be looking for it. Li Mengxue might be in danger, but she should be able to escape it!

Yi Qingqing quickly took out the big golden book.

"…Li Mengxue was riding her bike and calculating how much she had earned today when several people suddenly emerged from the cornfield in front of her and blocked her way.

"What are you doing?" Li Mengxue had to stop and ask.

"What? Didn't you pick up a few cans from the scrapyard last month? They are ours. Give them back to us and we'll be done with it," said the leader.

Li Mengxue knew that things were not going well. The gold bars might have been hidden there by someone. If she admitted it now, she didn't know what would happen. It was obvious that these people were not easy to deal with. "Jar? What jar?"

"Don't play dumb. We have already asked Old Man Li. If you don't admit it, you must have discovered the secret in the jar. You can't take it. You can't spend it!"

As they spoke, several people surrounded her and blocked her retreat.

"I remember now, are you talking about Mr. Tao? I bought a few to make kimchi. I'll give you the ones you want, but they are all at home. Come with me to get them." Li Mengxue could only say this for now.

She absolutely could not bring these people back to the educated youth site. The old man who collected scraps at most told these people what she looked like. He must have observed her in the county town today and knew that she was an educated youth, but he probably didn't know which production team she was from.

If these people get hold of where she is, even if she hands over the things, it would still be dangerous.

The gold was sealed in an inconspicuous pottery jar, and it was thrown in a scrap yard. It must have come from an illegal source. How could these people be trusted if they knew this secret better than her? I must find a chance to escape!

..."

Yi Qingqing, is there anything you don’t understand after reading this?

Someone really found me!

New texts are still appearing.

"...Li Mengxue obediently pushed her bicycle and walked with them for a while, letting them let down their guard. Then she pushed the bicycle towards the man and ran desperately to the field behind. As long as she could find a place to hide her body and enter the supermarket space, she would be fine.

"Chase!" The group of people all chased after him.

The danger to her life made Li Mengxue burst out unprecedented potential, but the distance between her and the people behind her was getting closer and closer, but she was still hundreds of meters away from the nearest cornfield.

Seeing that she was about to be caught up, she shouted "Help!"

A jeep drove up on the road in the distance.

The people in the car noticed the chase and shouted, "Xiao Yi, stop!"

The car stopped and a man in military uniform got out.

Li Mengxue was almost in despair. The person behind her had already grabbed her arm. Suddenly, a hand dropped from the sky, grabbed the person, and kicked him to the ground.

"Run over there, I'll take care of them," the man said, pointing at the jeep on the side of the road.

Li Mengxue didn't even see what the man looked like. She just felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Looking at his skills, she would only be a burden if she stayed here, so she ran away decisively. '"
