Chapter 21 Going to the Black Market

After lying down, Zheng Yaqin got up to wash her hands and had a meal. After eating and drinking, she continued to weave straw slippers. The pairs of straw slippers that promised the young man had not finished weaving. She has been busy preparing for going out these days, and has delayed the young man's slippers.

Zheng Yaqin is a credible person. Since she promised her, she must do it. She sat there and kept editing and editing until after twelve o'clock in the evening before she lay down to sleep.

During this period, the two human traffickers in the public toilet had been rescued by nearby residents, but the man was in a coma and the woman cried and begged everyone to help her to take her man to the hospital, but because they were too smelly and no one had a car these days, no one helped her.

Later, when the woman saw that there was no one to help, she had to take out two dollars to hire someone, and then she sent his man to the hospital.

When Zheng Yaqin beat the man, she was afraid that she would not faint, so she was injured, so she was extremely serious. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor found out that the man had a severe concussion. Although he would not die of injury, he would definitely have sequelae in the future. Maybe he would become a fool.

After hearing the doctor's words, the woman immediately plundered all the money on the man, then ran away with the money, and threw the man into the hospital alone.

As for how this man will be in the future, no one knows, but it can be imagined that in an environment where he is sick and has no money, he will definitely not be cured. Even if he can survive, the only thing waiting for him will be wandering or begging.

If Zheng Yaqin knew his fate, she would definitely have to scold him. That bastard had kidnapped so many people, causing many families to be broken and destroyed. Even if he was foolish and begged along the street, he deserved his guilt.

Of course, this is all a story!

Besides, Zheng Yaqin slept comfortably in the space. The next morning, she got up before dawn and ran to Erdaohezi Bridge near the station to prepare for business.

In her previous life, after she was kicked out of the house by the old Jia family, she worked in the city for two years. When she was working, she heard that Erdaoheziqiao was once the most famous black market in the city. She could sell anything here and buy anything.

So Zheng Yaqin walked sneakily under Erdaohezi Bridge with a basket, preparing to find a black dealer to trade.

At this moment, there were not many people under the bridge, and they should be here to make transactions, but they all pretended to be passing by, deliberately walking slowly. Someone was carrying a bird, and there was a small family sparrow that was dry and was pretending to be here to walk the birds, which was funny.

Zheng Yaqin was swaying around, looking for a target. A short and fat man walked to her like a walk, and quickly said to her, "Little sister, are you buying something?"

Seeing the man talking, his eyes were staring at his bird, just like an underground party.

Zheng Yaqin followed the local customs and also followed him as he answered, looking away, "Selling food, a lot of food."

The fat man glanced at the basket on Zheng Yaqin's arm and smiled softly, "How many? Ten kilograms?"

Looking at her small basket, she can only hold about twenty pounds at most, and she can’t hold any more.

Zheng Yaqin ignored his ridicule and whispered, "These are samples. As for the food, it's as much as possible."

The short and fat man showed a look of shock on his face.

You should know that the most scarce thing in China is food. Due to the severe drought last year, the country's grain production has been reduced, and famine has occurred in many places. The people are already hungry, and the grain prices have been very high. Now, a pound of rice on the black market has been hyped up to a sky-high price of 30 cents.

Even so, I can’t buy it!

And this little girl looks very ordinary, but she actually breathes such a big tone and says how much she wants? Can she fool people?

While thinking, Zheng Yaqin's voice floated over again, "I don't want money, I want to put the food in exchange for antiques. If you have antiques, we can talk."

The fat man was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard the little girl say she didn't have money and only had antiques, he immediately became energetic again.

He does have antiques in his hand, but he doesn't stock up on purpose. Nowadays, everyone can't even eat, so who's still playing with that?

It was all his fault in the past, but now he is in trouble.

It is said that antiques in the prosperous era are gold in the troubled times. Now it is a year of famine, so the prices of antiques are super low, but even if they are sold at a bargain price, there is still a price but no one wants it.

If this little girl was willing to exchange food for the valuable antiques in his hands, he would be happy to raise his hands and feet!

Even though he knew that the little girl's words were probably fake, he still couldn't resist the temptation. He picked up the bird cage and whistled at the little family bird cage, and said quickly, "My family lives in the paper factory's family area. There is a big willow tree at the door. If the little sister really wants to change it, just go there to find me. I have what you want in my hand, as much as you want."

After saying that, he walked away one by one with his bird cage.

Zheng Yaqin walked towards the other side with a basket on her shoulder, planning to go to the paper factory's family to find him when she met a woman.

The woman wrapped herself tightly, revealing her eyes. When she passed by Zheng Yaqin, the woman whispered, "Miss, do you have food?"

Listening to the sound, this woman should be a middle-aged and elderly woman.

Zheng Yaqin saw that no one around was paying attention to them, so she quickly said, "Yes, there is, but it's not convenient here."

The woman was happy and shouted, "Oh, isn't this Dani? Why are you here?"

Zheng Yaqin immediately understood what she meant and said loudly, "Aunt San, my mother said that my third uncle is sick, so she asked me to come and have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Oh, it's hard for your mother to think about us, go and go with my third aunt's house..."

The woman kissed Zheng Yaqin's arm warmly and took Zheng Yaqin home.

On the way, the two of them didn't say much, just walked forward quickly. When they arrived at the woman's house, it was a coincidence that the woman's house was in the domestic cotton factory's family area, very close to the paper factory's family area.

Zheng Yaqin was secretly happy and went to find the short and fat man for a while, so there was no need to take a detour.

The two stopped at a black gate, with a lock hanging on the gate. The woman took out the key and opened the lock, leading Zheng Yaqin into it.

The woman's small courtyard is not big, only about ten square meters. There are scattered firewood and some unburned coal cores in the corner of the courtyard. There is a basket, a backpack and a large broom in the corner of the west wall.

"Come on, come in." She opened the door and asked Zheng Yaqin to go in.

As soon as you enter the door, the main hall is very small, only seven or eight square meters in size. There is only a small bed, a table and a few tattered stools. On the table is a bamboo-skinned thermos, several water cups, and a sweeping broom, a cube and a feather duster in the corner of the wall.

"Child, please sit first, I'll pour you a glass of water." The woman asked Zheng Yaqin to sit down while picking up the scarf around her head.

After taking off the scarf, a yellow and thin face appeared. The woman was in her forties, with a haggard and thin face.

However, she has a good temperament. She is dressed cleanly and her hair is neatly combed. Her spine is straight when walking, and her eyes are calm when looking at people. She looks like she is not an ordinary woman.

"Aunt, don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." Zheng Yaqin said politely while looking at her.

At this moment, a depressed cough suddenly came from the west room.

"Ahem...hem...Mom, you're back..." A woman's voice came weakly.

The woman said, "I'm back. Wait, mom pours you some water first. We'll have food to eat later."

She picked up the heater from the table, poured two glasses of water, and handed it to Zheng Yaqin, "Child, you drink some water first, I'll drink some water for my girl, and come back soon."
