Chapter 38: Sixty Mother-in-law (15)
Jiang Xiaoman followed the path Wang Mei told her and went directly to the black market.
Not to mention that this black market is really called a black market.
Under the main bridge, the light is also dim, and people are more or less hiding in the holes in the walls.
As soon as I arrived here, I felt sneaky one by one.
Jiang Xiaoman came, and someone looked at it and then withdrew his gaze.
The old lady didn't bring anything with her, and she was supposed to be here to buy something, and she definitely couldn't sell anything.
And just the sloppy appearance of this stack of patches on the old lady.
I can see that my family is not good, and I am afraid that I don't have two money.
A lot of people don't look down on this business.
But there are also people who can see it.
This is not a man with a wrinkled face, who is honest and honest when he looks at his face, and slowly came to the old lady.
Probably didn't think about what to say, so he hurriedly circled around the old lady and rubbed his hands.
I didn't open my mouth.
"Do you have food to sell?"
Jiang Xiaoman opened her mouth, she was anxious for this.
Are you still doing business on the black market?
The man nodded excitedly when he heard this.
"Auntie, I have food here, cornmeal is a dime a catty, and black flour is a catty."
Jiang Xiaoman heard it well.
"I want 100 pounds of cornmeal and 50 pounds of black flour."
That's almost 20 bucks.
The man was frightened when he heard it, so much.
"Auntie, I'm sorry I don't have so much, I only have 80 pounds of cornmeal and 20 pounds of black noodles."
How did he expect to meet a big customer?
"Okay, that's all. I bought you so much, don't you have to be cheaper? ”
Jiang Xiaoman only remembered to talk about the price.
The man's face was embarrassed.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't give you cheap, it's that the child in my family is sick. I'm waiting for money to see a doctor, or I won't be able to sell my family's food. It's really every penny waiting to be saved. ”
Jiang Xiaoman could see that this man was a sincere person.
How did she see it?
The main thing is that this person speaks with a slow heartbeat, which proves that he is not lying, and he is a little emotional.
"The child in the family is sick, that's a big deal, and the eldest lady doesn't say anything. Let's go outside, and you can bring me food to the main road. There are a lot of people here, and an old lady of mine is carrying food on her back, which is too dazzling. ”
Jiang Xiaoman is very smart.
There are so many people watching here, in case someone really rushes up to catch him.
Could it be that he killed all these people in front of so many people?
The man nodded, "That's it." Auntie, I know that your way to the county is at the east gate of the county. I'll send it to you at the east gate, and then we'll pay the money with one hand and the grain with the other. ”
The man looked around, also worried that he had been caught.
The two went their separate ways.
Jiang Xiaoman walked directly out of the city.
Not to mention, this man is really trustworthy, and after a while, he was riding a bicycle with two cloth pockets in the back of the car.
If you can afford to use a bicycle, it means that you must be an employee in the factory, and maybe you are still a head.
The average person can't afford a bicycle right now.
Looks like this guy really wasn't lying.
It's not that I'm in a hurry to use the money, I'm afraid I really can't come out and sell food.
The two of them didn't say much, it was time for them to pay the money with one hand and the grain with the other.
The two quickly parted ways.
Jiang Xiaoman turned the grain upside down, but it was not heavy on his shoulders.
But it was inconvenient, so I put the 80 pounds of cornmeal directly in the storage ring.
20 catties of black noodles were carried in the back basket behind them, and rotten cotton was placed on them, so that it didn't look so eye-catching!
She was fast enough to catch up with the two or three in front of her in just ten minutes.
Of course, Liu Xiumei didn't go fast, she was worried about her mother, so she walked very slowly.
As soon as she saw her mother, looking at the heavy back basket, Liu Xiumei knew in her heart that this was done.
wanted to take it over and carry it by herself, but was glared back by her mother, so she could only stand by honestly.
Out of the county seat, I walked two miles to Liu Xiulan's house.
This village is called Stone Village.
Jiang Xiaoman asked the eldest girl to wait for her at the intersection with her children and things, and entered the village alone.
The villages now look very deserted.
In the winter, who has nothing to do and runs outside, and it is not interesting to be hungry.
Jiang Xiaoman came to the door according to his memory of the original owner's daughter's in-law.
As soon as I pushed the door in, there was no one in the yard.
"Xiulan! Shirley! I'm a mother, come to see you, in-laws? In-laws? ”
Jiang Xiaoman shouted as he walked to his daughter's yard according to his memory.
There are five rooms in this courtyard.
If she's not mistaken.
lives Liu Xiulan's father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as the two concubines, Liu Xiulan is married to the second child.
"Eh, in-laws, why are you here? It's a cold day! ”
Liu Xiulan's mother-in-law came out.
A look of displeasure.
The main reason is that every household now feels that coming to the door is probably asking for help, either borrowing grain or fighting the autumn wind.
"I want to pick up Xiulan and the child and go back to live for two days."
Jiang Xiaoman spoke directly, just used to his daughter's should hear her voice, why didn't she come out?
Liu Xiulan's mother-in-law, Zhao Xiaohua, looked a little embarrassed.
"Xiulan has been sick for the past two days. Otherwise, when she recovers in two days, I will send her back. You see, it's freezing on this day, and she's sick again. In-laws, I won't keep you, you go back first. ”
That's why the two sentences don't match, and they will pick people up immediately!
Jiang Xiaoman felt that something was wrong.
pushed Zhao Xiaohua away and broke into Liu Xiulan's house directly.
"Xiulan is sick, I have to see her even more. I came all the way here, and I heard that she was sick and didn't see my daughter, what did this say? ”
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Liu Xiulan covering her face and hiding to the side, and Zhao Lao Er was a little uncomfortable when she saw her mother-in-law.
"Mother, you're here, Xiulan is not feeling well, I'll go back when she gets better."
Blocking Jiang Xiaoman's sight.
Jiang Xiaoman felt more and more wrong.
"Xiulan, what's wrong with you? Let my mother take a look. ”
"Mother, Xiulan is very sick, don't go forward, accidentally infect you. Won't that be a hassle then? ”
Zhao Lao Er stopped Jiang Xiaoman.
Dead or alive will not be allowed to move forward.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoman exerted his strength, he pulled Zhao Lao Er aside, and walked quickly to Liu Xiulan.
Pull people over.
As soon as I saw her face, it was dark, this Liu Xiulan had a blue nose and swollen face, the corners of her mouth were broken, and her face was swollen like steamed buns.
Her eyes were full of tears, and the moment she saw it, she covered her mouth and cried.
Where is this sickness, it is clear that he was beaten.
"Zhao Lao Er, come here! You tell me clearly, this is sick, this is extraordinary? ”
Liu Xiulan looked at Zhao Lao Er in horror, pulled his mother's sleeve and said.
"Mother, forget it, I accidentally hit the wall. It has nothing to do with the child's father. ”
Jiang Xiaoman was all happy.
This is another bun, and he was beaten by his own man and actually excused him.
When Zhao Lao Er heard this, his heart relaxed.
Liu Xiulan didn't dare to come out of the moth.
"Mother, you also heard that Xiulan accidentally hit it, but it has nothing to do with me."
He is not afraid of the old lady in front of him at all, although he is his mother-in-law, but he was killed by his sister at home, and his brother-in-law at home also listens to his sister.
To put it bluntly, it's not just that no one in the Liu family has given Liu Xiulan a head.
