Chapter 43 A dog's mouth can't produce ivory.
"Pah! You jinx! How could Sister Jin possibly turn to ashes? She's definitely having a great time somewhere!" Qian Wei said with absolute certainty.
"Alright, you two stop arguing. I also think it's unlikely that this person is Sister Jin." Guan An, having a headache from their bickering, finally voiced his opinion.
The two fell silent at the same time.
Guan An continued his analysis: "First, the photo is too blurry; you can't see anything at all. Second, if Sister Jin is still in Beijing, why haven't we been able to find her for three years? Third, look at this report; it says this person risked their life to save a cat for a mere 50 yuan reward. How could Sister Jin risk her life for a mere 50 yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Wei immediately gave him a thumbs up, "It still has to be Dandan... cough cough, you! Now that you mention it, it definitely can't be Sister Jin!"
Even Wu Mang, who was just full of confidence, is now beginning to doubt his own judgment.
"But to me, she really looks like Sister Jin."
“People can look alike, let alone just a chin,” Guan An said, patting him on the shoulder.
"It's been almost four years, and we all miss Sister Jin very much. We hope she can come back soon."
One sentence summed up what the three of them were thinking.
They were Jin Jie's little followers, but Jin Jie just left without saying a word.
Qian Wei murmured sadly, "Sister Jin must have found someone new outside and is so happy that she doesn't want us old friends anymore."
Guan An and Wu Mang both rolled their eyes at him.
You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!
The next day.
Su Jin still wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a hat and scarf, leaving only her eyes showing.
After leaving the guesthouse, she went straight to the black market.
Many county towns actually have black markets where all kinds of buying and selling and transactions can be carried out, but the prices are much higher than through formal channels.
However, although her basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were difficult in Daliushu Village before, they were still manageable.
Moreover, she didn't have the extra money to go to places like the black market, so she had never even considered it.
But things are different now. She plans to buy some food coupons and other necessities on the black market, which will make things more convenient later.
Although she wasn't entirely sure of the exact location of the black market, she reasoned that everyone has a mouth, and if you have a mouth, you can ask.
About an hour later, she arrived at the black market area.
After that, she spent another ten minutes and 30 yuan to exchange for ten jin of grain coupons, two jin of meat coupons, five jin of vegetable coupons, and a few bath coupons from the black market.
She spent most of the 50 yuan she earned in the blink of an eye, but she didn't feel bad at all, since money is meant to be spent.
Afterwards, she bought a bottle of frostbite cream and a bottle of snow cream at a high price on the black market.
Back in Daliushu Village, these things were luxuries. Because of her hard work over the past few years, her hands were covered in chilblains that would flare up every winter, and she never had the means to properly treat and care for them.
Having bought almost everything she needed, she prepared to return to the guesthouse to await news from Zhou Zhenxing.
"Hey little sister, I have some good stuff here, do you want to take a look?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man mysteriously blocked her way. Seeing that she had just bought frostbite cream and snow cream, he wanted to sell her his own products.
