People in the alleys secretly take out their excess agricultural and sideline products and unused second-hand products from their homes to sell and exchange them. Buying things here does not require various tickets, and some things that need to be sold urgently are even cheaper than the market price.
If she didn't think that doing business was more important, Fan Xi really wanted to go shopping. She missed this free market that didn't require a ticket!
Geng Ailing was also shocked. She didn't expect the people here to be so bold. "Li Qi, I feel a little uneasy. What should I do?"
"What's there to be uneasy about? Come on, let's find a place to rest for a while and wait for your cousin's store to open." After saying that, he took Geng Ailing and hid behind two baskets filled with vegetables.
As luck would have it, they hadn't been squatting for long when they saw Geng Ailing's cousin smiling as she escorted a middle-aged man out of the yard. The man didn't forget to rub himself on her before leaving, his eyes full of obscenities...
Geng Ailing's face turned pale instantly. This was indeed her cousin!
As soon as the man left, Geng Ailing's cousin's face immediately darkened. She glared at the man before closing the door.
"Sister Ai Ling, now you believe what I said! It's called a barber shop, but it's actually..."
Geng Ailing immediately covered Fan Xi's mouth and said, "Li Xi, let's go back!"
Seeing Geng Ailing's distraught look, Fan Qi said nothing more and took her hand and walked out of the alley.
Suddenly, Fan Xi stopped and his eyes stopped on a second-hand sewing machine.
"Excuse me, how much is this sewing machine?" asked Fan Xi.
"One hundred dollars!" replied the man standing behind the sewing machine.
Fan Xi took Geng Ailing's hand and took a closer look. It was a Butterfly brand and the quality looked pretty good. He wondered how it would taste.
Seeing Fan Xi's interest, the man immediately said enthusiastically, "Comrade, I have a piece of rag here. You can try it out. To be honest, I bought this sewing machine only four years ago. My wife has always taken good care of it. If I weren't in a hurry to get money for her medical treatment, I wouldn't have thought of selling it here."
Fan Xi took the rag from the man's hand, turned it a few times, and the sewing machine started to sew.
"Eighty, I'll buy it, is that okay?" Fan Xi asked.
Geng Ailing stretched Fan Xi's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Li Xi, do you really want to buy it? Do you have that much money?"
Fan Xi gently patted the back of her hand and gave her a soothing look.
The man's face was conflicted for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I see you really want it, so eighty is fine!"
"Can you help me find a cart to transport it home? I'll give you an extra dollar. We live over on Wusi Road."
After hearing this, the man nodded immediately and said, "No problem, I can push it over to you now."
Fan Xi took out ten yuan and handed it to the man. "I didn't bring that much money with me today. I'll give you ten yuan first. I'll give you the rest after I send you home."
