Chapter 468 To South City 5
"Look, it's really beautiful. It makes you look very fairy-like when you wear it. I've never seen anyone wearing it before." Congfei praised.
The salesperson also nodded and praised, "You look so pretty in this skirt, girl." (You look good in this skirt.)
"How much is it? Do you want a ticket?" Congfei asked the price.
"This is a European-style skirt made of imported fabrics. The workmanship is better than those, and the color is beautiful. This style is the most fashionable this year. It's only 35 dollars. Don't waste money." (This is a European-style skirt made of imported fabrics. The workmanship is better than those, and the color is beautiful. This style is the most fashionable this year. It's only 35 dollars. Don't waste money.)
The salesperson answered in the local dialect, and Yi Ke not only listened but also spoke, but she stood aside and said nothing.
Congfei figured it out after a bit of guessing, and counted out a total of ninety dollars, including the money for the suit, and gave it to the salesperson.
"Aunt Fei, we need tickets to buy clothes there, why don't we need tickets here?" Yike asked Congfei after returning home.
"Imported items basically don't require invoices. If you buy too little, kid, I told you to buy two more items, but you insisted on dragging me back. I went shopping specially, and only bought these few things. What a pity." Congfei carried the things into a sleepable guest room.
I don’t know whether she regrets that she bought these two sets of clothes after shopping for an entire afternoon, or she regrets that she didn’t use up all the money in her pocket.
"Aunt Fei, I have spent all your salary for the past six months. If I buy more, Brother Han will have no food to eat and he will hit me on the head." Yi Ke joked.
"He dares. He's so brave. Don't worry, he has a salary and he never hands it over. His father and I support him, so he dare not say anything. Besides, this little money is not even enough to buy one of his fingers." Congfei thought to herself that she had saved her son's life, how could this little money be enough to repay him.
"Aunt Fei, you've been walking for the whole afternoon. Are you tired? You have great physical strength, even better than a young man like me." "Then you take a rest. I'll call you for dinner. Let's go out to eat tonight."
"Okay, you should go and rest for a while too."
Congfei left, and Yike lay on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. Although she was not tired, she fell asleep while lying there.
Congfei and Yike returned with a great deal of success, but Ziyi and Han Yuan almost suffered heavy losses.
It turned out that Ziyi and Han Yuan went out to look for Wang Hongjun in the afternoon. When they arrived at Wang Hongjun's residence, they met Wang Hongjun's younger brother who came to ask for help in a hurry.
"Boss, boss, this is terrible. The guy you asked me to keep an eye on is being chased and hacked." Wang Hongjun's younger brother Monkey ran in breathlessly.
At this time, Wang Hongjun was wondering when the boss would come when he heard the monkey's cry.
He was about to ask when he saw two people appear at the door through which the monkey came in.
The monkey saw that the boss ignored him and looked towards the door instead. He turned around and became furious.
"Come with me and stop them." The monkey was so anxious that he used the local language directly.
Ziyi naturally understood that the other party was telling him to get out. Han Yuan had also worked here for several years, so he naturally understood it too. He also knew that the locals were not easy to mess with. They would fight each other if they disagreed, and once a fight started, it might lead to a group fight. Moreover, the locals were very united and would stand together against the outside world regardless of right or wrong. So he quickly reached out and grabbed Ziyi who wanted to continue walking inside.
Ziyi ignored the monkey and looked at Wang Feng who ran out with a smile.
"You're going to fall to the ground..." The monkey threw a string of dirty words at Ziyi. Ziyi's smile faded and his eyes shot at the monkey like swords. The monkey suddenly stopped talking and felt a surge of ice piercing his body. He shivered uncontrollably.
"Brother, brother, you really are here, brother." Wang Hongjun ran to Ziyi and shouted anxiously.
Ziyi reached out and patted Wang Hongjun on the shoulder, "You've become thinner and darker. You've worked so hard."
Wang Hongjun blinked, nodded and shook his head, "It's not hard. It won't be hard now that my brother is here."
The monkey looked at his boss. It turned out that this man was the boss’s eldest brother. No wonder he couldn’t be driven away even by scolding him. He didn't think about it. The eldest brother was from another place and couldn't understand the local dialect. His eldest brother certainly couldn't understand it either. It would be strange if people would pay attention to him if he cursed them in the local dialect.
Wang Hongjun led Ziyi and Han Yuan inside. Ziyi introduced Han Yuan's identity, and the two shook hands to get to know each other.
"Ah, boss!" The monkey suddenly yelled, scaring Wang Hongjun and Han Yuan so much that their clasped hands suddenly separated.
"Are you looking for death? You're screaming like a ghost." Wang Hongjun cursed angrily.
"No, that guy is really going to die. Do you want to save him? It will be too late if you delay." The monkey said in spite of his boss's anger.
"What? Tell me clearly, what happened?" Wang Hongjun asked.
"Boss, didn't you ask me and Huangmao to follow that guy named Le? This morning we saw him taking a group of his followers to a bay. Then we saw him arrive soon and a boat came and unloaded a lot of big boxes. Before that boat left, another boat came and many people jumped off the boat, more than the people that Pushjiezi brought. The two groups started fighting without saying a word. It looked like Pushjiezi might not win, so I ran back to tell you."
"Brother, please go and save him. He can be useful." Wang Hongjun immediately said to Ziyi.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ziyi nodded.
"I'm going to drive the car, Monkey closes the door." Wang Hongjun walked out immediately.
Han Yuan was terrified when he heard this. Is this going to fight, or to fight with a smuggling gang? This is risking his life.
He immediately stopped Ziyi and said firmly, "You can't go. This is a fight between smuggling gangs. If you go, you will die."
"You can go back first."
When Wang Hongjun's car arrived, Ziyi sat in the passenger seat, and Houzi also hurriedly sat in the back. Han Yuan had no choice but to open the door and get in, otherwise the car would have driven away. He had no choice but to think in his heart that he would hold Ziyi back when the time came, and he must not let Ziyi get into trouble no matter what.
Wang Hongjun drove towards the bay that Monkey mentioned.
The street thug mentioned by Monkey is named Le Si. His family used to run a martial arts school in the old society. After liberation, the school was disbanded long ago. He had no way to make a living, so he switched to reselling electrical appliances.
The atmosphere in South City is more open than in the mainland. Although individual business is still not allowed on the surface, there are still many people who sell things secretly, that is, on the black market.
The people here are much bolder than those in Ziyi's places. In addition to food, daily necessities and clothing, the most profitable things they sell are electronic products, from watches to radios and televisions. Anything you can think of can be found in the black market in South City.
The restriction on purchasing with tickets is useless here, and the market is flooded with all kinds of "parallel imports." Ships smuggle goods from Xiangcheng every day.
Le Shi's former martial arts school brothers returned home after the school was disbanded. Like him, they had nothing to do except farming in their rural hometown, where they lived a life of neither hunger nor starvation.
Leshi is from the city. He wants to farm but there is none, so he just stays at home and waits to die.
