“Yes, tomorrow is the weekend, I’ll go with Sister Lele to have some fun around the area,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Zhuang Le immediately smiled, "That cake..."
"Yes, yes, yes," Li Xiyue readily agreed. "You can go pick it yourself tomorrow, buy whichever one you like."
Zhuang Le cheered, "That's great! Grandpa and my sister are so much better than that old geezer."
"You brat!" Old Zhuang cursed disdainfully.
Zhuang Le ignored her, was in a great mood, and happily ate dinner. She even took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, which made Old Zhuang talk about her sarcastically in the yard.
"It's rare to see you volunteer for work. You must be indebted to us because you've been paid to do so, right?"
Snap!
A bowl fell out of the kitchen window and shattered into pieces.
Old Zhuang jumped away like a monkey, laughing triumphantly, "Didn't hit it, hahaha..."
Li Xiyue and Liao Qingshan: "..."
Those are their bowls, and another one broke!
Xiao Bai stood in front of its doghouse, feeling relieved that it hadn't smashed its house.
It was late at night, and the cold wind was howling outside.
Zhuang Le lay in bed, listening to the snoring from the next room, feeling utterly hopeless.
It's so noisy! The old man's snoring is even louder now that we're in the capital.
If you can't sleep, why not go for a walk?
I got out of bed, got dressed, and went out.
Little White heard the noise and ran over, wagging its tail. "Lele, where are you going?"
"Little White, do you know where the nearest black market is?" Zhuang Le asked, rubbing its head.
Xiao Bai nodded. "I know."
"Quick, take me sightseeing!" Zhuang Le said excitedly.
When she was in Yunnan Province, she often made her own pills and Gu worms to sell on the black market. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make a living with the little money the old man earned from treating people.
Xiao Bai looked towards Li Xiyue's room. Should we invite Yueyue to come along?
"Don't let my sister know. She's a good girl, how could she go to a place like the black market? Just the two of us will go." Zhuang Le turned Xiao Bai's head back.
Xiaobai: Do you have some misunderstanding about well-behaved children?
The man and his dog sneaked out the door and headed straight for the black market.
"Xiaobai, don't go in. Wait for me here. Let me know if anything happens outside," Zhuang Le whispered to Xiaobai as they arrived outside the black market.
Little White didn't plan to go in either; without Yueyue's permission, it dared not show itself on the black market.
Zhuang Le disguised himself, paid the entrance fee, and entered the black market.
After browsing around the black market, I found it to be slightly different from the black markets in Yunnan Province; it was very orderly and harmonious.
She couldn't help but sigh again, "No wonder it's the capital; people here are so well-mannered."
She had just finished sighing when she noticed a thief reaching into her pocket. She grabbed the hand and twisted it hard, causing the thief to scream in pain.
"You little thief, you dare to steal from me? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." Zhuang Le took out a pill from her pocket and stuffed it into the thief's mouth, then pressed on his acupoints. Only after seeing that the other man had swallowed the pill did she release him.
The thief fell to the ground, terrified. "What...what did you give me to eat?"
"Of course it's poison, the kind that rips your intestines out and rots your stomach," Zhuang Le clapped his hands, trying to scare him.
The thief was so frightened that he tried to vomit, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it out.
The noise attracted Ma Zi, who was accompanying Lu Feng on his inspection tour. Ma Zi came over and asked, "What happened?"
"Master Ma, these three pickpockets stole this young lady's money. This young lady is ruthless; she fed them a poison that would rip their intestines out." The black market manager immediately reported the incident.
The pockmarked man is frowning; could this cause a fatality?
If someone dies, that would be a real problem.
He quickly stepped forward and advised, "Young lady, how much money did he steal from you? Just make him pay you back. It's a small matter. Don't let it escalate to the point of causing a death."
"A trivial matter?" Zhuang Le stood with her hands on her hips, relentlessly pressing the issue. "There was a thief in your establishment, which is your dereliction of duty. How dare you call it a trivial matter? Today, not only will the thief have to compensate me, but you will also have to compensate me."
Ma Zi looked at the other woman. It was one thing for her to come to the black market alone, but she even dared to ask the people in the black market for money. She was really something.
Before he could speak, Lu Feng walked over, smiled at Zhuang Le, and asked, "How much compensation does the young lady want?"
