Jia Lei took Liya with them, followed the path she pointed out and soon came to the Polish border, and then encountered the checkpoint without any suspense.

"Stop! Said the person at the checkpoint.

"Okay! Xiang Xi took out a stack of documents prepared in advance and handed it over.

"What's in your car?" asked the guard, looking at the large bags stuffed with the minibus.

"Nothing special, just some goods! We are merchants from China, who bought from the nearby wholesale market, and want to sell them in Poland and Ukraine. Mo Bei replied in English.

"We're going to check it to see if there's any contraband. As soon as the guard heard that Mo Bei was a businessman, his eyes immediately lit up and he said.

"There really aren't any contraband in our car, but I'm on my way home for dinner, can you be accommodating?" said Liya, sticking her head out of the window, greeting the soldiers in Polish.

"Beauty, are you Polish?" asked the soldier enthusiastically.

"Yes! My family lives in Rzeszow. Liya said.

"Is the man in the car your friend?" asked the guard.

"Oh! yes, they are my friends, my business partners. Liya nodded.

"Well, for your sake, we can be accommodating. But ......" the guard looked at the full cart of goods and rubbed his fingers.

"Give money!" Jia Lei squinted and said clearly.

"Please be accommodating!" Mo Bei handed out $200.

"Alright! You can go. The guard slipped the money into his pocket and waved for the pole to let him go.

"I'm so angry, these foreigners know that the oil is jamming!" Xiang Xi angrily stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out.

"What's so angry about this! It's like this everywhere, and it's good now. After a year or two, when there are more Chinese people doing business in Eastern Europe, I am afraid that the number of toll booths will be one or two times as many as now. Jia Lei pressed his temples and said worriedly.

Because the Chinese people always want to settle the matter, they often pay the money when they encounter this kind of thing, and later many foreigners are used to lawlessness and find Chinese people to be fined on the street.

Regardless of the economic situation in Poland, the roads here are still much better than in the country, and the minibuses are speeding along the roads, and when it gets dark, they reach the small town of Rzeszow that Liya said.

Rzeszow is a well-known university town in Poland, with a total population of 180,000 and more than 60,000 students, including many higher education institutions such as the National University of Rzeszow and the Rzeszow University of Information Technology and Management.

It's a city that exudes a bookish atmosphere......

At the end of the 80s, the city's main industries were metalworking and machine building, mainly for the production of internal combustion engines and vehicle parts, and agriculture was dominated by animal husbandry and the cultivation of cash crops.

However, according to the Soviet model, Poland's agricultural production accounted for a very low proportion of the country's production, and the food it produced was completely insufficient for its own use.

＊＊＊＊＊

"This city looks good, why did you leave here to work in Prague?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

"My hometown is very good, and the people here are very welcoming, but the prices here are too high! Liya said bitterly.

"But no matter how high the price is, it can't be compared to the price in the Soviet Union, right? The depreciation of the ruble has reached 2,000 percent. Jia Lei said.

"The ruble collapse is a flash crash, at least in the last few years the Soviets have had a good life, but we have always had prices here since 80 years, and our government has raised the price of pork and some commodities for six years in a row...... The lowest price increase is 40% a year!" Liya said with dissatisfaction.

"The price has risen for six consecutive years, and the inflation rate is too amazing!" Luo Nan said in shock.

"According to this price increase method, your salary will definitely not be enough to spend!" Jia Lei nodded understandingly.

"Salary?hahahaha, wages are a joke in Poland......" Liya couldn't help but laugh maniacally when she heard the word salary.

"Calm down! You look like a madman right now!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Either I'm crazy, or the country is crazy! You don't know that the Polish government, while raising the price of goods for six years in a row, issued an order to keep wages from rising. Although our nominal wages here are high, the de facto wages remain at the same level as they were a decade ago. Liya said sarcastically.

"It's really crazy......" Jia Lei said in a hurry, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Liya or her country.

Because of Poland's withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact, the industrial system of the city of Rzeszow suffered a major blow at this time, and the workers were unemployed in a large area, which undoubtedly made the people of Bolan, who were already unable to survive, even worse.

This topic was too heavy, Jia Lei and the others didn't know what to say, and when the car drove all the way to the yard of Liya's house, no one spoke again.

"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back. Liya opened the car door and shouted at the house.

Hearing her voice, a large crowd rushed out of the house, surrounding her and shouting with joy.

"There are so many people in her family, it's so lively!" Jia Lei said enviously, he felt very lonely at this time.

"Yes, Liya has six brothers and sisters. Luo Nan also said,

They were watching the excitement as they walked down.

"Liya, who are these people?" Liya's mom asked.

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce it to you. Liya said and walked over and pointed to Jia Lei and began to introduce.

"This is a businessman from China, followed by his family's employees, who had come from Czechoslovakia to do business in Kiev. They had helped me before, and this time they had made a special trip home from Prague. So at night, I wanted to leave them at home for the night. Okay?" said Liya.

"Since it's a friend who has helped you, of course you can! tell them to rest assured, and I'll prepare dinner for them." Liya's mother said quickly, and then she went back to the house and got a basket out to go grocery shopping.

"Liya......" Liya's mother suddenly looked at her and stopped talking.

"Oh, look at my memory, there's $1,000 here, you can take it. Liya said as she bent down and pulled out a folded wad of bills from her boots and handed it to her.

It's a tip she usually hides secretly!

"That's a lot of money! this time you can buy a few more pounds of meat to entertain your friends." Liya's mom said with a smile.

"Auntie, you're welcome, we're just going to be vegetarian! We are tired of eating meat abroad, and now we want to eat some potato salad or something!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

On the road just now, Liya specially said that the price of other basic foods in Bolan has not increased much, only meat is a special commodity, and the price will be increased every time!

It calls on everyone to "tighten their belts together!" to solve the tens of billions of dollars in foreign debt brought about by high financial subsidies.

＊＊＊＊

In order to welcome Liya, who has not been home for a year, and guests from afar, Liya's family prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"It's delicious!Sister Liya, I haven't eaten meat in a month. Liya's eight-year-old brother said.

"You talk a lot! It's not enough to eat meat once a month, many of your classmates haven't eaten meat for half a year, and they haven't said anything. Liya's 15-year-old sister said knocking on her brother's head.

"Why do you say me, you haven't eaten less. Liya's brother said with a roll of his eyes at her.

"So what, I'm going to be an adult soon! In a few days I will be able to go to the Czech Republic with my sister to work. Liya's sister puffed up her chest and said proudly.

"Whoa!" Liya's hand shook and the knife and fork dropped on the plate.

"What did you just say, you want to go to Prague with me to work?" Liya asked with a shocked look on her face.

"Yes, I'm going to work with my sister and you, and then earn money to support my younger siblings and mom and dad. Liya's sister said.

"This ......," Liya didn't know what to say for a while.

"My little sister is very tired from working! You can't bear that hardship, you better go to school obediently." Jia Lei took the initiative to help Liya relieve the siege and said.

"I don't go to school anymore! Now even college students can't find a job, and it costs a lot of money to go to school. My father was just laid off from the factory 2 months ago, and his sister and mother can no longer support the whole family. Liya's sister said sensibly.

"What! Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big deal as my father's dismissal?" Liya asked excitedly, standing up excitedly.

Liya didn't see her father when she came back, and thought he was working overtime.

"Your father went out to deliver people, and one of my students introduced him to a job that he had rotate with another driver in a long-distance truck. Your father said that you are working hard to earn money outside, so don't tell you about it, it will worry you!" said Liya's mother.

"But...... If you had told me, if you had told me earlier......" Liya said as she suddenly covered her face and cried.

"What's wrong with you?" the others asked immediately with concern.

"If you had told me, I would have stayed in Prague and never returned...... Liya cried quietly.

Although her boyfriend is a scumbag and a bastard, Liya earns at least $10,000 a month in Prague, of which she can get at least $3,000 to send back, enough for the whole family to survive.

"There are some things that you don't look back when you do them! Now that you've left that place, don't think about going back. Jia Lei suddenly grabbed Liya's wrist and advised her.

"What can I do if I don't go back, what will they do if I don't go back?" said Liya sadly as she looked at her relatives around her.

"The road is self-detribution, and there is more than one way to make money. Jia Lei said.

"What's wrong with Liya? What's going on with you? Did you get fired when you came back suddenly?" asked Liya's mother nervously.

The whole family now lives on the money sent back by Liya, whose mother is just an ordinary teacher in college, and the money she earns can only support one child.

"I ......" Liya didn't know what to say and could only continue crying.

Liya's boss treated her very badly and always liked to scold people, so Liya resigned. Jia Lei immediately thought of a reasonable excuse and said.

"Then you should resign, and you should rest at home for a while, and then take your sister to work in Prague after her birthday." Liya's mother comforted her daughter.

"No! my sister can't go to Prague, absolutely can't. Liya immediately said nervously.

It's hard for girls like them to find a job in Prague, and if they meet bad guys, they will end up in the dust.

"What's wrong with you? I've heard from other part-time workers that Prague is well paid and makes a lot of money! Why don't you let me go?" asked Liya's sister angrily.

"I ......," Liya didn't know how to answer.

＊＊＊＊

"Life has to go on, since you escaped from that quagmire, don't be stupid and jump down again!" Jia Lei walked to the terrace on the second floor and said to Liya, who was smoking a cigarette alone.

"What if I don't go back? Even if I stay in Rzeszow and get a job, I won't be able to earn enough money to support myself, let alone my younger siblings. Liya said with a wry smile.

"If you have other difficulties, I may not be able to help, if it's just a matter of money, it's really not a problem for me!" Jia Lei said confidently.

"Huh...... For a young master like you who goes in and out of a five-star hotel and has four bodyguards with you, money is certainly not a problem! But for poor people like us, no money is a big problem......," Liya said.

"My money doesn't come from the wind! I earn all my money back by cent, don't you see it on the way? I even went to the wholesale market to earn money. Jia Lei said.

"Come on, you go to the wholesale market, mainly to inspect the market, to see what goods are marketable, and then you will export them in large quantities. How much money can you make in the end of a trip to the market to see the goods?" Liya asked suddenly.

"Now I have never had a business less than $1 million. Jia Lei replied truthfully.

"So, how are you going to help me, give me money, take care of me?" asked Liya sarcastically.

"You know, this kind of thing is impossible!" Mr. Jia said.

"So how do I solve the problem of money?" asked Liya.

"As for the answer, you should find it yourself! It's almost time now, come with me. Jia Lei said and went to take Liya's hand.

"What are you going to do? let go, it's getting dark, where are you going to take me?" asked Liya as she walked.

"I'm going to take you to make money, to be precise, I'm going to teach you how to make money. Jia Lei turned back to Liya and smiled and said.

In the courtyard downstairs, Mo Bei and the others were already waiting there with their bags, and even several of Liya's younger siblings were there.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's go. Jia Lei pulled Liya over and said.

"Where are we going, what are we going to do?" asked Liya, blankly.

"I know! go set up a stall!" said Liya's eight-year-old brother, who jumped out of the car with a pumpkin mask.

＊＊＊＊

Under the street lamps in the central square, a small night market is opened, and citizens will come here after dinner, and many people today found that there is an extra stall selling Halloween costumes in this night market.

"Masks are sold, masks are sold! Halloween masks are only $5 each!" said Liya's younger siblings, holding all sorts of masks and selling them to people.

"Don't be stunned, shout along!" Jia Lei said, stuffing a clown mask into Liya's hand.

"I ...... I can't open my mouth, it's too humiliating to do so. Liya said with a red face as she took the mask.

"Then you put on the mask and cover your face!" Jia Lei said without relenting.

"No, I still can't. Liya put on her mask and said,

"I don't understand, it's not shameful for you to be a prostitute, but you don't like to be ashamed to let you sell something!" Jia Lei asked.

"But no one knows me in Prague, no one knows who I am! at least half of the people here know me......" Liya said with a blushing face.

"Prague is so good, you must want to go back, right? Then I won't stop you, you can go back with your sister! You two sisters make a lot of money together!" Jia Lei said with a sneer.

"No, I can't let my sister do that!" Liya said angrily.

"Then you can stay and honestly sell me masks!" Jia Lei said.

Then Jia Lei stepped aside to sell his clothes and stopped caring about Liya.

Liya stood still for a few moments, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Because the end of the month is Halloween, these low-quality Halloween masks that Liya bought are very popular, and it only took an hour for all 100 masks Liya bought to sell out.

"Take it! This is your money, put it away!" Jia Lei gathered the money from the sale of masks in the hands of several children and solemnly put it in Liya's palm.

"100, 200, 300, 400, 500......" Liya said, shaking her hands and counting the bills in her hands.

The masks sold for $500, and after deducting the $300 Liya paid yesterday, Liya made $200 in just one hour.

"Do you think it's easier to make money like this or what you used to earn?" Jia Lei asked Liya.

"Of course it's easier, but I prefer to make money this way, at least it's clean and secure. Liya pinched the money in her hand and said with tears in her eyes.

"You know where I got these goods from, that place is not far from here, and you can drive back and forth in a day and a night! You can buy the goods by yourself in the future, and you will not lose money selling clothes after you have such a good eye for clothes." Jia Lei said.

"Thank you, I really thank you, you saved me and my sister, including our whole family!" Liya knelt down and kissed the corner of Jia Lei's clothes reverently.

"What are you doing, hurry up!" Jia Lei said in a startle.

"You are my light, an angel sent by God to redeem me!" Liya said earnestly.

Then Liya opened her mouth and sang a hymn that Jia Lei didn't understand at all......

The gist of the lyrics is,

Angels descend to bring light and salvation to confused believers......
