Chapter 9 Going to the Black Market



Early the next morning, Su Qing and her mother and daughter prepared to pack up and move into their new home.

They didn't have much stuff, just a few sets of clothes.

"Big sister, I'm here to collect the keys."

They were afraid that some people would destroy the house just because it was not their own, so every time they borrowed it and took it back, the village chief's wife would come to take a look and take the keys away.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, for taking the trouble to come here so early in the morning."

"What are you talking about? We're from the same village. I don't think anything's broken or missing. Just give me the key. Oh, and my grandchildren are outside. If you have anything you need to move, just leave it there and let them do it later."

"No, no, no, I don't have much here, just a few sets of clothes and a cabinet. I'll just make two more trips and it will be done." As for the stone snails that Su Qing had fished out, she had already placed them in the space town.

"The cabinet is quite heavy. I'll ask two people to help you move it."

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't refuse any more. "Thank you so much, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for? I've got the keys. Come on, Wang Gui and Wang Fu, help your Aunt Su Qing move her things. I don't think you have much to do, so I'll be leaving now. I'm going back to take care of the kids. They'll probably make a scene if I'm not here for a while."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Su Qing and her mother and daughter arrived at their new home.

"Xiaogui and Xiaofu, thank you for helping me move the cabinets. Come, I'll treat you to some candy."

The two of them waved their hands quickly, "No, aunt, we have to go back to work."

The two men put the cabinet at the door and ran away.

Su Qing opened the door and invited the children in.

At first, Daya and the others were a little scared of this legendary haunted house.

But he was soon attracted by the big house.

The three little girls jumped up and down, looking at this room and that room.

It seems that this house is just an ordinary house, not as scary as He Xi and the others said.

Sure enough, everything my mother said was right.

"Mom, which room do we live in?" Daya asked while carrying a bag.

"Do you want to live in a room with Mom or by yourself?"

"Live with mom." Several children said in unison.

"Then live in the east room. Mom will move the bed from the west room to the east room later so you can sleep more comfortably."

Before, when the mother and daughters squeezed into one bed, it was difficult to turn over. Every time the two younger ones wet the bed, everyone in the bed suffered.

Su Qing first moved the cabinet at the door in.

Since she already had a large wardrobe, Su Qing planned to transform the dowry cabinet into a storage cabinet.

After moving the bed from the west room to the east room, Su Qing was already sweating profusely.

Several children were rolling around on the bed, having a lot of fun.

"Be careful, don't crush Si Yaha."

"Mom, we know. We will be careful."

Normally, since we're moving into a new house today, we should hold a house-warming party.

We had originally planned to invite the village chief and several others, but considering that everyone was superstitious about this house, and that the original owner didn't have any good friends in the village, we decided to just forget about it and just have the mother and daughter celebrate together.

"Daya, today mom needs you to help look after my younger sisters at home. I'm going to town to buy milk powder for Si Ya. Is that okay?" Su Qing felt that she could discuss all the big and small matters at home with the children so that they would feel involved.

"Mom, do you have enough money?"

Although Daya has been taking care of her younger sister at home, her good friend came to talk to her about things in the village.

She naturally knew that it cost a lot of money to buy this house.

"Mom has it. I'll tell you in secret. I found a Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain some time ago and sold it for a lot of money." Su Qing's space town needs a white lie to cover it up.

Daya finally felt relieved after hearing this.

"Mom, you go ahead. I will take good care of the house and my sister."

Su Qing went out from the small door in the backyard.

I had originally planned to go to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village by bullock cart, but thinking about how popular I have been these days, I decided to keep a low profile.

So Su Qing chose to walk to the middle of the mountain first, and then turn to the town from another small road. This was something the original owner discovered when he often went up the mountain to chop firewood. It took half an hour less than usual to get to the town.

When we arrived in town, it was already very lively.

I didn't expect that I would happen to encounter a market when I went out today.

I followed the crowd to the supply and marketing cooperative and found that it was surrounded by people.

Then I thought about how I was penniless now, so I decided to sell things on the black market first and then buy more.

The location of the black market at that time was not fixed at all. It changed every day to avoid being caught.

Su Qing couldn't find the black market the first time, so he simply went to a few factory staff housing estates to look around. The people here had stable jobs and stable incomes, and were more able to buy food at high prices without food coupons.

Su Qing wandered around the gate of the family compound and saw two women in their forties or fifties coming back cursing and carrying baskets with deflated cloth bags inside.

Su Qing called out to the two of them, "Auntie, I'd like to ask if Jia Ren lives in this family compound. She's my aunt, and my mother asked me to bring her some food, but I can't find her."

When they heard there was food, their eyes lit up and they asked in hoarse voices, "Girl, do you want to sell it?"

"Oh, I was so anxious that I forgot what my mother told me." Su Qing pretended to be very anxious and replied in a low voice, imitating the aunt's words: "If I can't find anyone, I'll have to sell it."

"Oh, I know, I know. I'll take you there. I know her very well." After saying that, he pulled Su Qing inside.
