Chapter 26



Chapter 26

Qin Xiang is not a person who never leaves the house. On the contrary, when she was at the Wang family, she would go to the fields with the Wang family during the busy farming season. Even when she was in school, she never lost in a fight with others, so she is really strong physically. She ran towards the short figure with her bag in her hand.

The thief did not seem to expect that a single girl like Qin Xiang would be so bold to chase him, and immediately wanted to run into the crowd.

This small commodity market is outdoors, and it is crowded now. The thief is relatively thin, and it would be very difficult to find him if he really got into the crowd.

Qin Xiang chased for a few steps, but thought that there was not much money in it, so she decided not to chase him. As a result, she saw a young man shouting "Stop" and chasing after the thief.

The crowd was bustling, and the more anxious they were, the easier it was to make mistakes. The thief was bumped by someone and slowed down, making it difficult for him to move. The person who caught the thief dodged flexibly, and then kicked the thief on the back. The thief cried out and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, the guy who caught him had already stepped on the thief's back, "I'll let you run, you thief, I'm going to call the police."

At this time, the people around finally realized what had happened. Most of the people who came here to buy goods in bulk were from other places. If one of them was stolen, all their belongings might be gone. They hated this kind of petty theft the most. When they saw the thief was caught, someone suddenly clapped and cheered. When

one person cheered, others also cheered, and some even wanted to beat the thief up.

A young stall owner next to him said, "I'll go find the manager."

Qin Xiang came over and looked at the heroic hero and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you so much for helping me."

The young man showed his big white teeth and smiled, "Sister, we meet again."

Qin Xiang was stunned and immediately recognized him. Wasn't this the young man who wanted to hitchhike on the way? Unexpectedly, he didn't hitchhike on their truck, but he came here and helped her at this time.

The thief was still screaming and trying to beg not to report to the police.

Qin Xiang stepped forward and snatched her cloth bag, then took out a pair of socks from the bag and tied the thief's hands behind his back. Only then did she have time to say to the young man, "Thank you so much."

The young man chuckled.

There is a small commodity market here, so there are naturally management personnel. After a while, two security guards came over, asked Qin Xiang and learned that the things were taken back, so they took the thief away. As

the market has developed to its current scale, problems are inevitable. But no one who comes here for wholesale wants such a thing to happen, so Qin Xiang does not doubt the government's attitude here.

Seeing the lively crowd disperse, Qin Xiang thanked the young man again.

The young man grinned and chuckled, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite, this is what you should do."

Although she said so, Qin Xiang still thanked her.

People were coming and going around, Qin Xiang said, "How about I treat you to a meal to thank you for your generosity?"

"No, no, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." The young man seemed to remember something and hurriedly turned around and left.

Qin Xiang smiled and turned around to observe the small commodity market of that time.

Although it looks simple, it has a wide variety of small commodities and the styles are more novel than those in the north. Before Qin Xiang came, she went to the department store in the county to look at the hairpins. They were still some old styles from a few years ago, which were much worse than these beautiful hairpins in front of her.

Qin Xiang looked at each store, asked about the price and quality, and then carefully calculated the money she could spend. Finally, she chose a hairpin stall with the most beautiful hairpins in her eyes and prepared to make a move.

The stall owner selling hairpins was a young man in his twenties. Seeing that she wanted two hundred at once, he smiled and said, "Boss, you have a good eye. All my goods are from Yangcheng. I dare say that no one in the whole Wuxian can compare with mine."

Qin Xiang did not dare to agree with this statement. There were at least seven or eight hundred stalls here. Some of the things were produced by local and surrounding factories, and some were indeed brought from Yangcheng or Haicheng. It was not the only one. She chose this one because it had a complete range of goods, many good-looking ones, and the price was not as high as those few.

Qin Xiang smiled and bargained with him, "Your things are good, but the prices are not cheap. Look at the stalls around you, even if they are not as pretty as yours, they are cheaper. If the things we take back are better-looking than the local ones, we can always sell them. You make less and I take more, and I will buy from you in the future. How about that?"

The young man was stunned and laughed, "You are good at bargaining."

It is easy to make money from women. How could Qin Xiang, who has lived for two lifetimes, not understand this truth? It is true that many of the hairpins on the stalls next to you are better-looking than those in Qingshui County, but of course the better-looking the things women use, the easier they sell. She also planned to take some cheap hairpins to match with socks and underwear and sell them cheaply at the big market, but when setting up a stall in the county, she must be able to use good things, and ordinary hairpins and socks are just extras.

Finally, Qin Xiang bargained with the stall owner and said nice things, which made the young man stunned. In the end, it was really cheaper. Even if a hairpin was cheaper by one cent, 100 hairpins would be one yuan, which saved the ticket money from Hangzhou to Wuxian.

But hairpins are not used for clothing. Qin Xiang took more than the most ordinary hairpins, and took a total of 400 other miscellaneous ones. Some were 10 cents each, some were 30 or 40 cents, and the hairpins with pearls were more than 1 yuan.

Qin Xiang saw that the goods on his stall were good, so he bought all the goods without going to the second store. In total, he spent about 200 yuan.

When leaving, the stall owner said as usual, "Come back in the future, I'll give you a discount."

Qin Xiang turned back with the bag, "How about you leave me your contact information so I can contact you in the future?"

The stall owner was stunned, turned back and found a cardboard with his name and the number of a nearby public phone written on it, "You can't find me during the day, usually after five o'clock."

Qin Xiang took it and looked at it. The words on the cardboard were terrible. After careful identification, Qin Xiang finally saw the name: Long Yuqiang.

Long Yuqiang knew that his handwriting was ugly, so he took the opportunity to entertain the guests by saying, "It's OK to get acquainted."

"I'll contact you later." Qin Xiang stuffed the paper shell into her bag and walked around the area. When she didn't see anything she particularly liked, she prepared to go back.

It was only a little after 1pm, and Qin Xiang thought about it and decided to go back early to avoid worrying her third brother.

After getting in the car, a voice said in surprise, "Sister, we meet again."

Qin Xiang looked up and laughed, "It's you, are you going to Hangzhou too?"

"Yeah." The young man was very outgoing and sat next to Qin Xiang across the aisle. He looked at the bulging luggage bag in Qin Xiang's hand and couldn't help but be curious, "Sister, are you also buying these things wholesale to sell?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course, otherwise why am I here."

Regardless of her, there are probably many passengers on the bus who are not here for wholesale, but there are not many who are wholesale like Qin Xiang. Some people just bring a snakeskin bag. She saw it when she got on the bus and it was thrown on the roof of the bus. She didn't have much stuff, so she just carried it herself.

The young man laughed, "I'm here for wholesale too."

He gestured, "I got this much." It was half a bag.

Soon there were more people on the bus. Seeing someone coming towards Qin Xiang, the young man quickly got up and took the seat next to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang was happy. Through the conversation, she learned that the young man was called Mi Hongjun. He graduated from junior high school and had no job. He could not make money by doing odd jobs or taking shifts, so he took his savings and wanted to give it a try.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, Qin Xiang planned to separate from her. Mi Hongjun hesitated and said, "Sister, will I see you again in the future?"

Qin Xiang replied, "If we are destined to meet, I will want to see you."

After that, Qin Xiang left in a carefree manner. Mi Hongjun stood there and touched his head. He felt that he had met this sister three times in a few days, which was already a very good fate.

It was a pity that they were not from the same place.

Qin Xiang hurried to the guesthouse with her luggage bag. She ran into Qin Yang and Sun Tieshu who were going out for lunch. Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. Sun Tieshu said, "If you don't come back, your third brother will go looking for you."

Qin Xiang threw the luggage bag to her third brother and

said, "Third brother, I'm hungry. I haven't had lunch yet." Qin Yang, who wanted to say something, softened his heart and took the luggage bag and said, "Let's go and have lunch."

During lunch, Sun Tieshu asked about her morning trip. Qin Xiang told him about the delivery, but she concealed the encounter with the thief. If she dared to say it, she would probably be scolded by her third brother again, so she simply kept her mouth shut.

As a result, Mi Hongjun suddenly appeared over there just as she landed.

Qin Xiang sighed, what a fate.

They introduced themselves to each other naturally, but Sun Tieshu didn't remember this guy at all. Qin Yang, however, looked at him a few more times, and then investigated Mi Hongjun thoroughly like checking the household registration.

Now there was no need to hide it, Qin Yang knew everything.

Qin Xiang didn't even dare to look into the eyes of her third brother. She felt that she had lived to such an old age in vain, and now she was seen through by her third brother.

Mi Hongjun was clueless. Not only did he get trapped by Qin Yang, he was still dancing and performing how he caught the thief. "I kicked him and he fell to the ground and begged for mercy."

Qin Yang looked at Qin Xiang with a smile, "This is what you mean when you say nothing happened."

Mi Hongjun, who was talking excitedly, stopped talking immediately, as if he realized something was wrong.

Qin Xiang was helpless, "Actually, there were only a few cents in the bag, I didn't even plan to chase him."

Mi Hongjun was startled, blinked, and looked innocent. He seemed to have done something wrong.

Qin Xiang helplessly assured, "I will definitely take myself seriously and be careful in the future." Seeing that the third brother's face was getting darker and darker, Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "Third brother, teach me a few tricks in the future. Not to mention fighting with others, at least I can protect myself. What do you think?" Hearing this,

Qin Yang really thought about the possibility of this matter carefully, and nodded and said, "Okay, we will start when we get back."

This is to let her go, and Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

After lunch, Mi Hongjun came to Sun Tieshu again and wanted to get a ride, but was ruthlessly rejected by Sun Tieshu. After

the man left, Sun Tieshu said, "This kid is interesting."

Qin Xiang didn't want to talk anymore. The more she said, the more mistakes she made. If the third brother caught her again, she really didn't need to do her business.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Xiang and Qin Yang took the money to find Liu Minhua. When they got there, Qin Xiang took a few more glances, but unfortunately she didn't see the tea egg seller Ma. The two arrived at the hotel and saw Liu Minhua in the lobby.

After counting the goods and paying the money, Qin Xiang expressed her sincere gratitude.

Liu Minhua joked, "It's also a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with this. Don't forget me when you get rich in the future."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Of course not, you helped me so much, I can forget anyone but Sister Liu."

The fate between people is so wonderful. After two lifetimes, Qin Xiang likes people who are open-minded more and more. It's also because people of this era are more simple. If it were ordinary people, whether you can get the goods or not would have nothing to do with them. Liu Minhua was willing to give her some advice and help with the ordering, so she had to accept this favor. She had already thought about it. When she returned to Qingshan County, before the weather was still hot, she would send him some specialties from their place to maintain this friendship.

There were more than 900 pairs of socks and underwear in a big bag. The things were left at Liu Minhua's place first. The three of them went out to eat at a state-owned restaurant. They were accompanied by a fellow villager of Liu Minhua, a man in his thirties.

Several people talked about the development in the past few years, and they all lamented that society is getting better and better.

Through the conversation, Qin Xiang also heard that the development of self-employed businesses in Su Province was better than theirs. It is said that there are already many households worth ten thousand yuan. In the future, 10,000 yuan might be the price of one of her bags, but in the 1980s, it was a great thing to have 10,000 yuan.

Qin Xiang's heart was burning with enthusiasm when she thought of the title of "ten thousand yuan household". When she heard Liu Minhua's friend Brother Zhao say that someone in the countryside had become a ten thousand yuan household by raising pigs and fish, her thoughts came back to life.

When she was just reborn, Qin Xiang had thought about the fish pond in their village, but unfortunately her ideas changed every day. She wanted to go to college, so raising fish and ducks would be a waste of time. So she put it aside and didn't mention it again.

But her parents can't leave home and have to live in the village. Her father also went to high school for two years. Although his education level is not very high, at least he can read and write. It would be great if her father could learn such skills.

However, she and Liu Minhua have just met, so it's not a good time to ask too much. I heard from her third brother that there are people raising fish and ducks in their province. When the time comes, she can ask around and let her father go over to learn. When

Qin Xiang talked to the two of them, Qin Yang just listened and didn't say anything. There was no difference on his face, but his heart was shocked.

It seemed that his previous travels were in vain. He was not as far-sighted as the self-employed people. Even his sister's vision could not compare.

Qin Xiang enjoyed the dinner very much and gained a general understanding of the development of clothing in this era. She also touched the boundaries of some issues that she had never touched in her previous life. Qin Xiang and Liu Minhua were reluctant to leave when they parted.

Qin Yang was a little depressed. On the way back, he listened to Qin Xiang talking about the current situation. He suddenly asked himself a question in his heart: Is he going to live like this?

At present, although Qin Yang is not a member of the transport team and is not a formal employee, he can still earn more than 60 yuan a month, and occasionally he can get some various bills. This salary is actually not low in this era.

But he spends money lavishly. Apart from giving some to his parents, the rest is all for food and drink. What about the future?

Is he really going to live like this and wait for death?

Seeing that Qin Yang had been silent, Qin Xiang thought that her third brother was unhappy with her doing this, so she pointed to the goods on the hired tricycle in front and said, "Third brother, I didn't have much confidence before, after all, I had never been involved in this industry before. But after talking with Sister Liu, I suddenly understood. I felt that I had taken it for granted before. Now I am full of confidence in the future."

She looked at her third brother seriously and said, "So, third brother, you have to be happy for me, and you have to believe me. Liu Minhua dared to run all the way here to get goods when she just graduated from elementary school. She has built up from nothing to the current level. I can do the same."

"Yeah." This time Qin Yang did not persuade her anymore. Instead, he said, "Third brother is rooting for you."

It was already dark. The master riding the tricycle in front was pedaling hard. She and her third brother came here from Shandong Province all the way to make money. No matter what kind of job they were in, they were doing their best to strive for a better future.

Qin Xiang smiled, "Third brother, I'm optimistic about you too."

The brother and sister arrived at the guesthouse and carried the big sack into the room. Qin Yang watched the goods for her. Qin Xiang went to wash up. When she came back, she saw her third brother standing there in a daze, so she asked, "What's wrong, third brother?"

"Nothing, go to bed early." Qin Yang went out and came back soon with a packing bag in his hand. "We have to leave at noon tomorrow. If you still need to buy goods, we have to hurry over early tomorrow morning."

Qin Xiang calculated that there was enough time. The stores facing the factories opened at six in the morning, so they could go there earlier without any delay. Moreover, she had already chosen which company to order goods from. She just needed to negotiate the price, pay the money, and move the goods away.

She glanced at the bag beside her, "What is this?"

Qin Yang said, "I bought you clothes, take a look, I heard it was produced by the second clothing factory in Hangzhou."

After that, Qin Yang went out. Qin Xiang took it out and saw that the style was indeed good, but it was a bit inappropriate for her to wear thick clothes now. It looked good with just a sweater.

Thinking of her third brother, Qin Xiang felt a warm current flowing through her heart. Almost everyone in this world would abandon her, and her third brother would not abandon her as a sister.

After a tiring day, Qin Xiang fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and she had no dreams all night.

While Qin Xiang was sleeping soundly, in Wangjiazhuang, Shandong Province, Wang Junsheng finally held his wedding with Cui Hong.

The guests had dispersed, and the debris of firecrackers on the ground had not been cleaned up in time.

Through the window, Wang Junsheng could still see a delicate figure sitting on the edge of the kang.

However, Wang Junsheng could not feel any joy when he thought about everything he had experienced from New Year's Eve to now. The only thing lingering in his heart was the anger and disgust after being plotted against.

It was the scorpion-like woman in the house who brought him all this.

Such a woman still wanted to get his love, she didn't deserve it!

At this time, Cui Hong in the house looked up and met Wang Junsheng's disgusting eyes. Cui Hong's heart jumped and she sat back suddenly. Her heartbeat was like thunder.
