Qu Lixin met Xie Chunmei's gaze and realized, "Well, she's a smart one. I guess I can't be too ruthless."
"Okay, I'll tell you about three factories, and I can also tell you where each factory is located, how to register, and what documents you need. You can each give me five points."
Wang Cuihua couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Five cents?!" She had worked herself to the bone all day to earn only 33 cents, and this guy was asking for five cents (one cent equals ten cents, one cent equals ten li)! What a shrewd man!
Wang Cuihua angrily pulled Xie Chunmei away, "Chunmei, let's go! He's treating us like suckers!"
Before today, Wang Cuihua had never imagined she could be so stingy. Her hands were blistered all day, and the small change in her pockets was all her hard-earned money!
"Two people, each with information from three factories, five points. If that doesn't work, we're leaving."
Qu Lixin couldn't control his expression, looking utterly miserable. "I've been running around all day, relying entirely on my own two legs. Do you know how far it is from here to the city?! Even in the city, we get chased by patrols, having to hide here and there. My feet are killing me now. I didn't eat anything during the day, and by the time I got to the village's communal kitchen at night, there was barely any food left. I'm still not full! And I have to work tonight... No, you need to add some more."
Xie Chunmei raised her eyebrows slightly. This brother did look like he had suffered all day, but their money didn't come easily, so she couldn't sympathize with him at all.
Xie Chunmei looked at Wang Cuihua, whose expression had softened somewhat, and said, "We've had a tough day too! We've never done farm work before. Look at the blisters on my friend's hands; they've all burst and are bleeding."
Upon hearing about her blisters, Wang Cuihua felt a sharp pain in her hand. She immediately forgot about feeling sorry for Qu Lixin and looked at her palm with teary eyes, gently blowing on it.
Qu Lixin never expected Xie Chunmei to be so ruthless. He said he was in a bad situation, but she said they were in an even worse situation. How could he possibly ask for a price?
"Fine, eight points, okay, eight points for two people. I'll also give you a top-secret piece of information—the location of the county's black market. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think it over carefully. If it doesn't work out, I'll sell it to someone else. If you're late and have no job, don't regret it."
Xie Chunmei was truly surprised; this guy was so much luckier than those arrested by the patrol officers, actually managing to find a black market. But does this program allow black market transactions?
Will the production team allow black market transactions?
Qu Lixin was surprised that Xie Chunmei had thought of this, and lowered his voice to say, "Don't worry, as long as you don't get caught by the inspectors, it won't be a big problem."
After Qu Lixin finished speaking, he puffed out his chest, looking very proud, since all the clues were obtained by running around on his own two legs.
Xie Chunmei's expression hardened. "Fine, then you have to reveal some information about the black market. Guaranteed to be true?"
Qu Lixin was somewhat displeased by the questioning, "Of course it's genuine. Anyway, I'm in this village. You can run away, but you can't hide."
The two sides finally reached an agreement and made a private deal.
"Don't you need to write this down? I'm not responsible if you can't remember it."
Qu Lixin counted the eight cents he had just received, a cheap smile spreading across his face. Eight cents on the first day, not bad at all.
Wang Cuihua tried hard to remember, complaining, "Paper and pen? You have no idea how rare paper and pen are. There's not even toilet paper in the toilet, just leaves."
Xie Chunmei pulled the dejected Wang Cuihua back to the dormitory. There was no electricity in the village, so they had to start a fire and boil water themselves. If they were any later, it would be a problem whether they could even soak their feet today. She wanted to go back and wipe her body, but then she thought about how they didn't even have a towel.
Life is tough, even a cat sighs.
[Not bad, not bad, this Qu Lixin seems interesting.]
[You're already making money selling information on the very first day?!]
[Qu Lixin's got some brains, I'm rooting for him, he's a shoo-in for the finals.]
I think Xie Chunmei is pretty good too. She knew how to buy information with money on the very first day; she has the air of a big shot.
[Opening bell!! Opening bell!! Everyone, come on over!! The final round is reserved!! I'm reserving Qu Lixin first.]
[A vendor in the front row selling beer, sunflower seeds, and popcorn, please move aside.]
Why are you everywhere?!
Give me some sunflower seeds!
Here you go! Here are your sunflower seeds!
[Haha, this is so good! Before going to bed tonight, I was thinking of checking on Ouyang Weidong, that wanted criminal, but I found out he was pretending to be asleep, sleeping right next to the outside of the bed. I guess he's afraid Niu Baoguo will report him to the police during the night.]
Seriously, this kid's eyelashes kept moving, haha, and he was clutching his little bundle so tightly.
[Wait, can someone explain this? During the day they're in that luxurious villa, so how come at night they're sharing a tiny bed that's only a meter wide with someone else?]
[Go read the comments and fill in the details yourself. In short, this kid's been arrested and he's a wanted criminal. This little package he's carrying contains all his possessions. He now has a new nickname: Ouyang the Three-Piece Guy, hahaha.]
[The reward for tipping someone is three yuan; he's known as Ouyang Three Yuan.]
[An older woman on the street said that someone reported them to the authorities, but she didn't know which servant it was. They even found foreign language letters, so it's likely the family fortune is gone.]
[Now he's the down-on-his-luck young master, Ouyang Sanyuan. I wonder if there's any way he can avoid being wanted. I'm planning to become a regular viewer of Ouyang Sanyuan's livestreams; I think this kid's lucky. If it were anyone else, they'd probably be arrested while eating at home.]
[So, what would happen if they were arrested?]
