It was evening soon. After Lin Yuexi prepared dinner for Lu Cheng and the children, she soaked Lu Cheng's feet with medicine as usual and then sent him back to his room to sleep.
When it was past eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Yuexi remembered the agreement with Zhao Gang and made an excuse, "Lu Cheng, I have to go to my second sister-in-law's place for a while. Can you go to sleep first?..."
As smart as Lu Cheng is, he discovered that Lin Yuexi had many secrets ever since Lin Yuexi came to Beijing to take care of him.
Her medical skills, her ability to take out many delicious foods for no reason, Lu Xiyun's accidental revelation that her mother could perform magic, and her occasional use of a language that did not belong to this era, all proved that she was hiding a lot of secrets.
So Lu Cheng didn't expose her lie, but just said softly, "Come back soon..."
Seeing that Lu Cheng agreed so easily, Lin Yuexi asked in surprise, "Lu Cheng, why don't you ask me why I went to my second sister-in-law's house?"
"Yuexi, just do whatever you want to do! I've already been a burden to you! You don't have to worry about me.
And if you want me to know, you will tell me naturally. If you don’t want me to know, it’s useless for me to ask. I just hope you don’t leave the three of us..." Lu Cheng said seriously.
Lin Yuexi thought that Lu Cheng understood her so well, so she said nothing more. She just gently kissed Lu Cheng on the forehead and said playfully, "Lu Cheng, I like you."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Lu Cheng stared at Lin Yuexi's departing back and was stunned for a long time.
That gentle kiss and straightforward confession instantly filled his originally lonely heart.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy yet slightly bitter smile. He raised his hand and gently stroked the forehead that had been kissed, as if he wanted to keep this warmth for a long time.
At this time, Lin Yuexi had already arrived in the yard. She simply removed the troublesome backpack on the bicycle. Anyway, the supplies Zhao Gang wanted far exceeded what could be carried in two backpacks, so it was useless to take them.
After the evacuation, Lin Yuexi got on his bicycle, used a flashlight to illuminate the night road, and quickly headed towards the old warehouse in the town.
The night wind blew across her cheeks, ruffling her hair, but it couldn't blow away the little sadness in her heart.
She was moved by Lu Cheng's understanding and tolerance, but also felt guilty for hiding the truth from him.
When she was about to reach the old warehouse where she had agreed to meet with Zhao Gang, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to work on the transaction.
She flashed into the space, still disguising herself as a young man, packed the 1,000 grams of rice and 200 kilograms of pork that Zhao Gang needed into bags, took them out and placed them on the ground beside her.
Then he walked towards the old warehouse, and sure enough, not long after, Zhao Gang walked out from inside.
As soon as he saw Lin Yuexi, he asked, "Brother, where is what I need?"
Lin Yuexi took him a few steps, pointed to the bags on the ground, and whispered, "It's all here. According to your request, there are 1,000 kilograms of rice and 200 kilograms of pork. You can check it."
Zhao Gang walked up quickly, opened the bag and took a look, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Okay, brother, you are really reliable."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted them and handed them to Lin Yuexi, "This is the payment for the goods, please count it."
Lin Yuexi took the money, glanced at it casually and put it away.
Zhao Gang seemed to be in a good mood, and he said, "Brother, to be honest with you, I recently took on a big job, and I need a lot of supplies.
If you can continue to provide a stable supply, the price can be negotiated. In the future, if I have something to eat, I will definitely need your help."
Lin Yuexi's heart moved, thinking that this might be a good opportunity to make money, but on the surface she remained calm and asked: "Oh? What big job?"
Zhao Gang smiled mysteriously, approached Lin Yuexi and said, "This is a long story. Anyway, I need to prepare supplies for a big boss. He needs a large quantity and needs it urgently. If you can help me with this, you will definitely get a lot of benefits."
Lin Yuexi frowned slightly. She was a little hesitant. On the one hand, she was worried that large-scale supply would cause unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, she didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money. After all, she was still thinking about saving more money to buy a house and land.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuexi said, "I'll try my best, but I have to prepare for such a large quantity, and you have to give me a reasonable price."
Zhao Gang nodded quickly: "Of course, as long as you can supply the goods, the price will definitely satisfy you. How about this, in two days, at the same time and place, I will wait for your reply."
After Lin Yuexi agreed, Zhao Gang shouted to the warehouse: "Xiaohu, Shitou, move the goods..."
"Here we come..." Two tall young men came out of the warehouse and soon moved the rice and meat in.
When Lin Yuexi saw that everything was done, she rode her bicycle and hurried home, feeling extremely happy.
He thought that with Zhao Gang's supply route, his business would make a lot of money every day.
Just like that, after Lin Yuexi traded with Zhao Gang a few more times, she felt comfortable with it.
That night, as usual, I finished delivering the goods, got paid, and rode my bike home.
When she was halfway through her bike ride, she unexpectedly ran into a few thugs from the town, who must have been following her for a long time.
The thugs, each holding a machete in their hands, stood in front of Lin Yuexi with a fierce look on their faces and said, "Stop, hand over the money you just made from selling the goods, or you can't leave."
Lin Yuexi was startled, knowing that she had encountered a robber, and quickly put the money into the space. But her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she quickly scanned the surrounding environment, looking for a possible escape route.
She couldn't think of a last resort, so it was better not to hurt anyone.
But these thugs were obviously well prepared and blocked her way.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and hand over the money quickly, otherwise you'll be in trouble!" The leading thug said viciously, waving a scimitar.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, knowing that today would not end well, so she quietly reached into her pocket, preparing to take out the electric baton from the space.
Just as she was about to touch the electric baton, a familiar voice came from the darkness beside her: "You little brats, you are so brave to act wildly in my territory!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Gang striding towards them with a few of his men. There was majesty and anger in his eyes.
When the gangsters saw Zhao Gang, they were obviously a little afraid, but they didn't want to give up the "fat meat" they had obtained easily, so they hesitated for a moment.
"Zhao Gang, mind your own business. You'd better not get involved in what happened today!" the leading thug shouted in a stern but cowardly manner.
Zhao Gang sneered, "In this town, there is nothing that I, Zhao Gang, cannot handle. Brothers, come on!"
After saying that, he rushed towards the thugs with a few brothers.
