Chapter 276 Chaos
The voice of reform and opening up is growing stronger and stronger.
In Huating, many vendors have already tentatively entered the streets.
On her way to and from get off work, Liu Qingqing could always see villagers setting up stalls selling vegetables not far from the compound.
She glanced at the piles of supplies in her space and felt the urge to make money.
After Song Jinglin discovered his wife's hoarding of houses last time, he continued to inquire about a few more houses.
I didn't buy all of them because they would be too conspicuous. I just picked three that were in a good location, cheap, and had clear title.
But one of them is a storefront.
After being taken away by Liu Qingqing, it was left idle.
She thought about it for a while and decided to wait for a decade or two until individual stores were allowed to appear and then open it.
Apart from these houses, she hasn't bought any more for the time being.
The main reason is that I don’t have much money left.

"Old Xie, I heard your son is back?"
Teacher Xie adjusted his glasses and said, "Hmm." There was no follow-up.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Teacher Yin curled his lips and stopped talking.
Teacher Xue glared at her secretly, thinking that she only did things that caused trouble for others every day.
As the others in the room left for class, Teacher Xue complained, "Yin Qilan is the most annoying person. She gossips about other people all the time. Teacher Liu, do you know why she brought up Teacher Xie's son?"
Liu Qingqing looked away from the test paper: "What happened to Teacher Xie's son?"
"Teacher Xie's son failed the entrance exam the first time, and the educated youth who didn't want to get married took it the second time. The boy was loyal and married in the village early on. Because of the educated youth's policy, he didn't take the exam again. It took Mr. Xie a lot of effort to bring his son and his family back. Now, with nothing to do, he heard he can sell things now, so he set up a stall."
"It's not bad either. It will be good if you can run your own business in the future." Liu Qingqing continued to correct the papers with her head down and agreed with her.
Teacher Xue smiled perfunctorily and said, "These are all lies. What's the point of not having a proper job?"
But Teacher Liu is also a kind-hearted person and never says bad things about others.
"I think it's good too. At least I know what to do. Yin Xiaolan saw Teacher Xie's son selling vegetables a few days ago. It was a joke to others. She always thought that her son had a good job and would find a good daughter-in-law." Teacher Xue snorted.
Liu Qingqing raised her eyelids and took a look, then continued to busy herself with her own things.
Teacher Xue said to himself, "Teacher Liu, you don't know, her daughter-in-law is well-off, but she has a bad temper. Her son has to pamper her. When she has nothing to do, she goes to her mother-in-law's house to work and rarely comes home. She even shows off..."
The next day, Teacher Xie took a leave of absence.
Liu Qingqing was a little surprised after not seeing him for two days: "Is Teacher Xie feeling unwell?"
"Where? Teacher Xie's son is in the hospital." This time, Yin Qilan didn't say anything sarcastic: "Alas, those vagrants on the street are so hateful."
"How do you reply?"
Several teachers who knew the situation described it in great detail.
Everyone knew that when Teacher Xie's son was closing his stall last night, he was stopped by a group of young men in flowered shirts and asked for protection money.
He was stubborn and didn't give it to me.
The other party simply overturned his stall and trampled it to pieces.
He brought a lot of eggs, and after all this trouble, they were all broken into pieces on the floor.
The group of young men who were collecting protection fees started to attack him, but he did not give in.
Even if I get hurt, I have to give the opponent a few hits.
The final result was that he was hospitalized. The group of people who collected protection fees had formed an organization. I heard that someone even poured feces on Teacher Xie's house.

Although the college entrance examination has been resumed, individual merchants can now go out to trade on the streets.
But these few days are also a lot messier than before.
