And she is now in the black market, where many people make a living and various transactions are ongoing. If she acts impulsively for her own pleasure and makes a big fuss, she can just walk away, but it will affect other people's business.

Meng Tao endured it temporarily, took the ginseng from the middle-aged man, and continued to check the other medicinal herbs on the stall. They were all precious medicinal herbs, such as Gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and Dendrobium officinale. Some were processed ones, while others were fresh herbs that had just been picked and had not been processed. Their roots were still covered with soil. Now that there was a medicinal garden in the Yunhai space, she could buy these medicinal herbs and plant them directly.

So Meng Tao negotiated a price with the middle-aged man, bought all his medicinal herbs including two wild ginsengs, settled the bill on the spot, and left with two large sacks.

Now it was the middle-aged man's turn to be envied by the stall owners around him, especially Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi. Seeing the "female worker" grab a thick bundle of brand new "Great Unity" from her shoulder bag, she counted out thirty pieces, which was a full three hundred yuan, and handed them to the middle-aged man. Their eyes were wide open, full of jealousy and injustice: they had been guarding for a whole night and only made more than nine yuan, but this country bumpkin, with a bunch of broken herbs dug up from the mountains, without spending a penny, actually made three hundred yuan in the blink of an eye without making a sound! It was really infuriating! The middle-aged man was not afraid of being targeted at all. He counted the money again, put it in the cloth bag, put it close to his body, smiled and greeted the neighboring stalls on both sides, and quickly left the black market.

Tian Laoliu stared at the middle-aged man's back, his mind turned for a few times, his eyes gradually darkened, he leaned over to Tian Laoqi's ear and said something, Tian Laoqi looked frightened and quickly moved away from Tian Laoliu, no matter what Tian Laoliu said, Tian Laoqi just shook his head and refused.

Tian Laoliu was very disappointed. How could he have such a cowardly brother? But he didn't dare to take the risk alone.

After the middle-aged man left, the Tian brothers no longer had any business. People who passed by their stall would just glance at it casually, and no one stopped to ask the price. The two brothers felt bored just waiting there, so without waiting for the black market to end, they simply rolled up the plastic sheet and stuffed everything into a sack and went home early.

Conditions in the county town are better than in the countryside, but only the main roads are equipped with street lights, while other small streets and alleys rely entirely on the electric lights leaking from residents' houses for lighting.

When Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi were almost home, at the corner of the alley, where the lights could not reach at all, Tian Laoqi, who was walking in front, was suddenly tripped by something. When he fell, Tian Laoliu, who was following closely behind, was naturally not spared. Tian Laoliu also sprained his ankle. He was immediately furious. Just as he was about to curse, a torn sack was thrown over his head, followed by big wooden sticks or bricks and stones, which hit his head and body. It was not an ordinary hit, but the kind with great force. In short, it was simply a hit to death! That was not all . There were also people wearing hard-soled shoes, treating him like a ball, kicking and kicking him hard! Tian Laoliu's head was bleeding, and his body was in so much pain that his soul was leaving his body. He wanted to shout loudly, but the sack was put over his head and his mouth was stuffed with the sack when he opened it. He couldn't shout at all and could only make a humming sound.

Soon he stopped whimpering, stopped struggling and fell unconscious. Next to him lay Tian Laoqi, also with a sack over his head, who had been kicked so hard that he had long since stopped making any sound.

Half an hour later, two people who were off night shift passed by here and found Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi lying in the alley. They were covered in sacks and they couldn't recognize them. They were covered in blood and they didn't dare to touch them. They immediately went to call the police. When the police arrived, the residents nearby were also alarmed and they ran out to watch. Under the light of flashlights, they recognized that they were the two boys from the Tian family.

Wang Shuifeng rushed over with Tian Zhiyuan and Tian Yalan. When they saw Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi who were beaten bloody and unconscious, Wang Shuifeng cried out to Tian Zhiyuan to send the two brothers to the hospital immediately. No matter how much it cost, saving their lives was the most important thing!

Tian Zhiyuan was also shocked and angry at the beating of Lao Liu and Lao Qi at first. When he heard Wang Shuifeng urging him to pay, he immediately became furious: This business has just started. I have finally saved some money. That is to be used as capital to purchase goods. I have used it all to treat Lao Liu and Lao Qi. Do I still want to purchase goods? If I don’t continue to do business, will the whole family starve?

The third brother is recovering and has stopped taking medication. He exercises every day and doesn’t even bother to eat nutritious food.

Tian Zhiyuan's wife had just given birth to a son. She didn't dare to spend more money and went home after giving birth in the hospital.

It was all for the sake of saving money, thinking that they could import more goods and make more money, but after saving so much, in the end they ended up paying for the hospitalization of the sixth and seventh children!

Tian Zhiyuan was so angry that he really wanted to turn around and leave without caring about anything, but Wang Shuifeng grabbed his sleeve and cried loudly, so he couldn't get away.

At this time, on the highway outside the city, a man in black wearing gloves and a scarf covering half of his face rode a bicycle and disappeared into the night.

The man in black is Meng Tao.

She endured for a while in the black market, but it didn't mean she could swallow that anger. She had been waiting for Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi outside. She didn't want their lives, but just used them as sandbags to practice fighting. They would definitely suffer from concussion, broken bones and muscles, and might even become disabled. That was just right. In the future, they should know their own limitations, save themselves the worry, and stop always dreaming of harming or killing anyone.

The next morning at around nine o'clock, Zhou Cuiling, who was working at the grain station, saw a jeep driving in. Her heart beat faster and she thought to herself, Taohua said she wanted to come back. Could it be that Zhang Guoqing drove Teacher Meng's car to bring Taohua back?

Just when she was full of hope, the jeep stopped, the door opened, and Taohua walked out of the driver's seat. Zhou Cuiling was so surprised that she could fit a duck egg in her mouth: "Taohua? How come you can drive?"

Meng Tao smiled and said, "I have learned it. Driving is not difficult. If you study hard, you will learn it quickly. I will ask Zhang Guoqing to teach you in the future."

"Oh, Taohua, you are so amazing. I dare not do that. I am afraid I can't learn it."

"I can learn it. You are so smart, you will definitely learn faster than me. The key is to have the opportunity to practice. Don't worry, you will learn it naturally when we buy a car of our own in the future."

"Taohua, you are kidding me. This is a car, not a bicycle. Where can we find tens of thousands of dollars to buy it? We can forget about it in this life. Just dream on. Dreams can bring you anything!"

Meng Tao: "...That's fine too. Let's dream first. While I'm dreaming, ding ding ding, the car will come."

Zhou Cuiling pointed at Meng Tao and laughed. Although it was unrealistic, it sounded really happy.
