At around eight o'clock in the evening, the vegetable market had just calmed down and was now completely dark.
Walking through the piles of rotten vegetable leaves that had not yet been cleaned up, Tang Qing felt like walking on thin ice, but no matter how careful she walked, she still stepped on a banana peel. After getting on the helicopter, she dropped down like a roller coaster and sat directly on the steps.
Down.
"whee……"
"You're still smiling, come here and give me a hand."
"oh."
A burly woman walked up to Tang Qing.
She stretched out a hand, grabbed Tang Qing's collar, picked up Tang Qing and left.
"Hey, put me down."
"Can't you get up?"
"There's no need for you to push me away even if I can't get up. Just let me down quickly."
"oh."
The woman's hand loosened and Tang Qing fell to the ground with a plop.
"Are you stupid? Just let me go if you ask me to."
"You called me silly girl to begin with. Besides, you asked me to let you go quickly. Can I just let you go without saying so?"
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Can't I see you in the helicopter when I'm asleep?"
"What are you doing sitting there?"
Tang Qing walked towards where the silly girl was sitting just now.
"We're having hot pot, do you want some? Haha!"
The silly girl wiped her mouth and sat down on the ground again.
"Hot pot? You really enjoy it. I haven't had dinner yet and I'm starving."
Tang Qing saw an induction cooker placed in front of Silly Gu, and a large iron pot on the induction cooker. Various foods were tumbling in the pot.
"You are hungry, eat quickly!"
The silly girl grabbed a sausage with her chubby hands and sucked it into her stomach with a squeaking sound.
"Where are your chopsticks?"
"I never use chopsticks, what a hassle!"
"Then you have to give me a pair."
"oh."
The silly girl found a pair of disposable chopsticks from a pile of debris beside her and handed them to Tang Qing.
Tang Qing took the chopsticks, tore off the outer plastic packaging, and ate hungrily.
"Is it delicious?"
"tasty."
"Then I'll add some more ingredients."
The silly girl stood up, walked to a grocery store next door, and brought over a lot of ingredients.
"If you take so much, your boss won't scold you tomorrow, right?"
"Just scold me, did you agree to provide food and accommodation?"
"It's outrageous for him to let you live in such a place."
"That's right, we don't even pay the storekeeper's wages."
"Then you should eat more of him."
"I also use his electricity more. When it gets cold at night, I turn on the induction cooker to sleep."
"Induction cookers consume electricity. I don't dare to use them at home."
"It's just a waste of his energy. Who told him to be so stingy?"
"Silly girl, are you in your thirties this year?"
"Am I that old?"
"How old are you?"
"Master Jiujin, isn't a woman's age a secret? Can you tell me casually?"
"Tell me how old you are, and I'll introduce you."
"What introduction?"
"I'm just going to be a matchmaker and introduce you to your husband."
"Master Jiujin, please pull him down. Who would want someone like me?"
"Aren't you very good? You are strong and can endure hardships. You load and unload almost half of the vegetables in this market, right?"
"That is, I am unloading goods back and forth, and I can support three little men on my own."
"Have you saved a lot of money?"
"Haha, Master Jiujin, let me tell you, you can't tell others."
"How could I tell others?"
"I've saved this amount."
The silly girl opened her big hand and waved it three times in front of Tang Qing's eyes.
"A thousand and a half?"
"Master Jiujin, do you look down on me so much?"
"Fifteen thousand?"
"Still look down on me."
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
"Well, you must not tell others."
"No, how did you save it?"
"Hey, I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry. I don't spend a penny on weekdays. How can I save up? Don't look at the fact that each stall owner only gives me ten or eight yuan, but I make a lot of food.
It seems to be quite a number.”
"Silly girl is amazing!"
"Haha, I'm definitely not as good as your Master Jiu Jin!"
While eating hot pot, Tang Qing chatted with Silly Gu. Her body quickly warmed up and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She stood up, took off the old cotton-padded jacket outside, and unbuttoned the small cotton-padded jacket inside.
"Aren't you hot?"
Tang Qing saw that the silly girl was sweating profusely and her head was steaming. He wanted to ask her to take off her clothes, but was too embarrassed to say so directly.
"It's hot. It's good to eat hot pot on this cold day."
The silly girl wiped the sweat from her face.
"Re, please take off your coat."
"Can't take it off."
"Why?"
"I'm not wearing anything underneath."
"Are you wearing nothing but a cotton-padded jacket?"
"Um."
"Why are you dressed like this?"
"It's convenient and saves on clothes. It's hot when unloading, so I take off my cotton-padded jacket and shower with cold water. It's clean and comfortable."
"You are such a wonderful woman!"
Tang Qing looked at the tall silly girl in front of him, feeling nothing but admiration.
Sha Gu is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 160 kilograms, has a big face, thick eyebrows, but small eyes. She belongs to the first line of heaven.
Shagu is not from Yancheng, but from the northwest.
Four years ago, Shagu came to Yancheng alone to seek justice for her father.
Silly Gu’s mother died of heavy bleeding due to dystocia when giving birth to her. Her father was an honest man who worked in a small local coal mine.
Safety measures in the small coal mine were not in place, a gas explosion occurred, and Sha Gu's father died underground.
The owner of a small coal mine was from Yancheng. When he saw a safety accident and someone died, he fled back to his hometown.
After burying her father, Sha Gu traveled all the way to Yancheng. She first blocked the coal mine owner, and then took him to the gate of the court to demand justice for her father.
The relevant departments contacted Shagu's hometown to find out the facts and bring justice to Shagu's father.
Although Shagu was born in the northwest, she loved listening to Yue opera since she was a child, so she stayed in Shancheng. Anyway, she had no relatives in her hometown.
The first thing that Sha Gu did after seeking justice for her father was to go to the People's Barber Shop for a haircut, hoping to get rid of the bad luck on her body. In fact, she had not taken care of her hair for more than half a year, and it was very messy.
When Silly Gu walked into the People's Barber Shop, the regulars held their noses and avoided her.
Tang Qing did not dislike Sha Gu and enthusiastically washed and cut her hair. When he learned that she was a strange woman who came to Yancheng to seek justice for her father, he couldn't help but be in awe.
Tang Qing did not accept the money from the silly girl for her haircut, but also helped her find a job in the vegetable market through the butcher.
Although it was not a serious job, Sha Gu was very happy and satisfied, and she and Tang Qing became good sisters.
"How old are you?"
"Do you really want me to find a husband?"
"It can't be cooked."
"The little girl is twenty-eight years old this year."
"Sixteen years old?"
"Fuck you, you're still three years old."
"Isn't twenty-eight sixteen?"
"Twenty-eight!"
"That just matches!"
"It just matches? Who does it match?"
"A man!"
"Of course I know it's a man. Could it be that you asked me to mate with a woman?"
"Silly girl, what kind of man are you looking for?"
"Am I qualified to choose?"
"Is it possible that only one man will do?"
"You only need one man, so wouldn't that make you a bitch?"
"Female dogs also need to choose male dogs, not just any male dog."
"So I am a human being, a woman, and I would rather not marry the man I like. Of course, I am not in a position to choose a man. I can only live alone in this life."
"There is a man who is definitely suitable for you."
"Really? Do I know him?"
"know."
"It can't be Da Mao, right?"
"Do you like Da Mao?"
"He is really good. He often helps me, but he doesn't like me."
"How do you know he won't like you?"
"If he likes me, why doesn't he chase me himself?"
"Da Mao is an honest man and is afraid of embarrassment."
"Why is he, a grown man, afraid of being embarrassed? As long as he says so, I will marry him immediately!"
"That's good, I'll call him over right away!"
Tang Qing felt happy, stood up, went over to get his cotton-padded jacket, and prepared to call Da Mao.
Just as he was about to go up the steps, a dark shadow flashed from the steps and disappeared at the door of the grocery store.
"who?!"
"Don't run away if you dare!"
Tang Qing and Sha Gu both chased them out of the grocery store.
"Master Jiujin, you go from that side, I'll go from this side, let's outflank him and catch that thief!"
Silly Gu usually talks and acts a little silly, but in an emergency she is smarter than anyone else. As soon as her two big feet are activated, her legs are full of strength, and she is quickly blocked at the entrance of the vegetable market.
