[Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Palms facing up]
And now, all the baskets and bags are full.
Shen Yuyao took a look and found that it was filled with seafood.
There are all kinds of fish, shellfish, fresh kelp, seaweed...
It was obvious that a fishing boat had just come ashore and brought back some things.
Shen Yuyao asked in surprise: "Xiao Mei, you went to the dock? What time did you go?"
Hearing the words "go to the dock", Cheng Liyan, who had deliberately stood aside and didn't come over because he saw them were about to talk, frowned.
He came over pushing the cart.
Cheng Liyan looked at the things in Xiao Mei's basket and asked directly: "Where have you been? Xiao Mei, don't do anything stupid!"
When Cheng Liyan said this, Shen Yuyao reacted immediately.
Xiao Mei, are you going to... the black market?
Although Shen Yuyao had never been to the black market, she was not unfamiliar with this name.
Who working in a department store doesn’t have some authority?
Even if you don't have the authority, isn't there a saying that goes "the one who is closest to the water gets the moon first"?
Even if she wouldn't do it, she knew that some people in the building were secretly taking defective or scrapped items and selling them on the black market.
But now speculation and scalping are strictly enforced!
It is said that those with serious circumstances will be sentenced!
Chen Fei's mother is still in the police station. Chen Fei is already in a state of panic. Xiao Mei must not let anything happen!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao also became anxious.
She immediately put her hand on Xiao Mei's and said, "Xiao Mei, if you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will help you if I can. Your mother-in-law's matter will not shake the relationship between us. I have always regarded you as my best friend.
You have something to tell me, you must tell me! Are you short of money..."
As she spoke, she looked at Cheng Liyan.
Shen Yuyao is rich, but her bag is carried by Cheng Liyan.
There's no way she could just take money out of her pocket out of thin air!
Cheng Liyan always pretends to have a lot of money on him, although it's not much, there are still ten dollars.
Without saying a word, he took money out of the inner pocket of his military uniform.
Xiao Mei was anxious and hurriedly stopped them: "Cheng Tuan, Yuyao, I don't lack money, don't take it out, I really don't need it!"
She patted her pockets and said, "Fade Chen left me some money before he left. Besides, as you know, I broke into my mother-in-law's cabinet, and all the money in the house is with me now."
When Xiao Mei said this, the couple's expressions froze for a moment, and Cheng Liyan's hand that was taking the money also paused.
Yes, Xiao Mei pried open all the locks in the house.
Xiao Mei continued, "Don't think too much. I didn't buy these goods myself, nor did I send them to the black market. I wouldn't dare do that even if you kill me!"
After hearing this, Cheng Liyan glared at her and said, "You can't do this anymore!"
"Oh, I won't do it again in the future." Xiao Mei immediately changed her words.
"So what are you doing?"
Since they were not sent to the black market, it is impossible that so many things were brought for anyone.
"I found myself a job. Now I help deliver goods from the fishing village to the vegetable market. I make one trip a day and I get one dollar each time."
Xiao Mei did not hide anything from the two of them and told them the whole story readily.
Xiao Mei said that what Chen Fei's mother did had a profound impact on both of them.
Although she and Chen Fei shared a common hatred for the enemy and cooperated well when dealing with Yuan Ping that day, in fact, there were still differences between the two.
Although Chen Fei couldn't say that Xiao Mei was wrong, he still felt resentful towards Xiao Mei for exposing his mother under such circumstances.
After coming back, he has been ignoring her.
Xiao Mei smiled and said, "I don't blame him for this. It's just a different perspective. He's the only son and his mother has always been nice to him. It's normal for him to be angry."
Cheng Liyan was unhappy and said, "What the hell is normal! He is a soldier and a party member, but he has no sense of right and wrong?
Don't worry, I'll take care of this. When Chen Fei comes back, just wait and see how I deal with him!"
Xiao Mei waved her hand and said, "Cheng Tuan, I appreciate your kindness. But we still have to deal with this matter ourselves. Sometimes you can't reason with husband and wife. Everyone understands the reason, but not everyone can get over it."
Shen Yuyao held Xiao Mei's cold, gloveless hand and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Yuyao didn't dare to think about how Xiao Mei and Chen Fei would get along at home in the future.
She thought about it, if it was her and Cheng Liyan——
If Cheng Liyan dared to ignore her at home and treat her coldly...
Just thinking about it, Shen Yuyao felt suffocated!
She felt that she might not be able to bear it.
Xiao Mei did not answer her question immediately. Instead, she smiled bitterly and said, "My mother-in-law is wrong in many ways, but what she said that day was not wrong. She said that I ate her son's food and used her son's food..."
Hearing her say this, Shen Yuyao immediately frowned and scolded: "Nonsense! You are still serving their family! Also, don't you want to work and earn money? Wasn't your job messed up by the mother and daughter?
If they hadn't come, you would still be working in the guesthouse! And you fought for that job yourself, it has nothing to do with her son!"
Sister Han made it very clear to Shen Yuyao that day that Xiao Mei's previous temporary job at the guesthouse was all because Chen Fei's sister wanted her, and then she made a fuss and finally couldn't do the job anymore.
So, what qualifications does Chen Fei’s mother have to say that Xiao Mei doesn’t make money?
Xiao Mei did not refute, but continued: "It's really hard to live a life of asking people for money. I've had enough of it.
I am so lucky now! I only deliver goods once a day, and I can earn at least ten yuan a month. If there are more ships returning to the port, I can earn more than twenty yuan!"
As she said this, she laughed.
Looking at Xiao Mei's bright smile, Shen Yuyao didn't mention that it was so cold. It would be too hard to get to the dock at three or four o'clock!
She nodded heavily and said, "That's great! The leaders also said that we should be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing. I think this is great too!"
Seeing that Shen Yuyao also agreed, Xiao Mei's smile deepened.
She put her frozen hands to her mouth and blew on them, then said with a smile: "You guys should leave quickly. Morning time is so precious, don't waste it. We'll talk slowly after you finish the exam!"
Shen Yuyao agreed, took off her gloves, and put them on Xiao Mei's hands. Then she said goodbye to her and left.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Liyan explained: "The fishing village is indeed short of people. Their young and strong have all gone out to sea, and only the old and the young are left at home. Xiao Mei is really smart to think of such a job."
Shen Yuyao didn't answer. Her eyes kept flashing with the heartfelt smile that Xiao Mei showed when she talked about making money.
