Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 155: Mama’s Boys in the 6s Can’t Get Married (8)

A group of young men in the village were playing tricks and went to the mountains to trap prey and collect firewood.

I also randomly scattered some seeds and planted some sweet potato seedlings in the mountains.

The soil in the mountains is extremely fertile, so these wild ones are almost the same as those grown in the fields.

As for the rice, Old Man Wang and the village chief led the villagers to collect it before the heavy rain came.

However, the people of Wangjia Village followed Qi Xin when they came to investigate.

The villagers all said in unison that everything was washed away by the flood.

The second brother was very proud when talking about this. He ate the noodles that Shuangshuang had prepared for him and told Shuangshuang everything proudly.

"Anyway, my father told the village chief not to listen to what the higher-ups said about paying public grain first and then receiving relief grain.

It is safer to keep the food in your own hands.

Hey, sister, let me tell you in secret, all the food in our village was moved to the air-raid shelter on the mountain overnight.

So you don’t have to worry about being hungry. After you finish eating, I’ll send you more.

But please don’t save any money, or my two little nephews will starve.”

Shuangshuang quickly refused, "No, I have food here, and I also have a ration every month."

"I heard there's no food left at the grain depot. Where will the rations come from?"

The eldest brother seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Shuangshuang with a serious face and said.

"Sister, we have enough food for you guys at home now, so you mustn't do anything stupid, okay?"

Only after they repeatedly promised that they would absolutely not take risks in the black market did the two brothers breathe a sigh of relief and go back with peace of mind.

The days passed slowly until 59, when no one in the city was interested in working.

The children no longer went to school. The whole family carried stools to the grain station and waited for the grain to be distributed.

If there is no food for one day, there will be two days. Anyway, there is no food to be produced at home.

Even some people who still had a way out in their rural hometowns simply sold their houses and jobs and went back to being farmers.

The eldest and second brothers have always kept their promise and come to Shuangshuang twice a month, because they are worried that the three of them will be hungry.

Of course, later on it was not all refined grains, but also corn flour, sweet potato rice flour, large pumpkin, winter melon, etc.

But Shuangshuang was not interested in these, so they were just thrown directly into the main body space to take up space, and we couldn't tell them not to give them away.

That day, Mrs. Chen came in with a gloomy face and sat on the stool in silence.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they saw her like that, and Mrs. Duan went over and asked softly.

"What's wrong with you? You act like someone owes you money."

When talking about this, Mrs. Chen's eyes turned red with grievance.

“I don’t feel that bad when others owe me money.

But how can I bear the fact that I have a stealing mother-in-law at home?"

"What good things has your mother-in-law done again?"

“It makes me angry just talking about this!

Last night I took my portion of the meal home, but because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to put it in the pot and went to the toilet.

When I came back from the toilet, I found that my lunch box was empty.

After asking around, it was my youngest son who said that his grandmother took it out in a bowl. I was so angry that I wanted to flip the table!

What a damn old woman, she only cares about her daughter, but she doesn’t think about the fact that our two children are starving to the point of being skin and bones.

But when she came back, she refused to admit it at first and even accused me and my son of deliberately sowing discord.

I was so angry that I told his father that I couldn't get a divorce, and then the child's grandfather slapped her.

She told the truth and indeed sent the child to her daughter's home because her grandchildren were starving so miserably.

Tell me, tell me, is this human language?

Who isn’t pitiful now?

Isn’t my child pitiful?

Every day I relied on the little food I had to make some porridge, but she took it all away.

Our two children couldn't sleep because they were hungry.

He listened to his grandfather and told him to drink more water, but ended up going to the bathroom all night. Isn't that infuriating?"

The other three sisters-in-law naturally felt the same way and shared the same hatred with her.

Only Shuangshuang remained silent, silently looking at the coarse grains in her own space that she didn't like to eat.

Then think about it, when Mrs. Chen came to work, she was the first one to show kindness to me.

But if I take it out, I'm afraid of bringing trouble to my family and I'm in a dilemma.

Xiaojuzi gave her some advice directly, "What's the big deal? Since you don't want to take it out directly, then just sell it on the black market."

"But even if we sell it on the black market, we may not be able to sell it to Mrs. Chen's family."

"There's nothing we can do about it. This kind of year always makes the timid die of starvation, while the bold die of gluttony.

Since they are still unwilling to take the risk of buying expensive food on the black market, it means that they must still have food at home and it has not reached that point yet.

They both nodded, "You're right, I'll go check it out tonight."

At night, after the two children fell asleep, they both told Xiaojuzi about it.

"Keep an eye on them, don't let them get up and cry."

"Don't worry, they're both very tough. They won't wake up until daybreak."

Shuangshuang found a black piece of clothing to cover her head and face, and then tiptoed out of the door.

He came to a deserted place and took out the backpack from the space.

With the guidance of Xiaojuzi, they soon arrived at the black market.

Before I even entered, two young men stood up from the shadows and gently asked, "In or out?"

Shuangshuang replied, "Out," and then lifted the covering slightly to show him.

There was a large pumpkin inside, blocking all the supplies below.

The young man swallowed and said, "Go in."

"Xiaojuzi and his team are quite legitimate. I heard they don't charge for selling their products."

"Of course, there is no food anywhere now, and they are looking forward to some farmers bringing in their own food.

How could some farmers be willing to spend just a few cents?"

"That's true."

The two walked inside while chatting, and sure enough, they saw Chen Dasao's husband walking back and forth anxiously.

Whenever I saw someone carrying a basket or a backpack, I would go up and gently ask if they had any food, but I always came back disappointed.

Shuangshuang deliberately walked to a dark place and passed by him.

He saw a man carrying a backpack and instinctively asked, "Do you have any food?"

"Have!"

"real!"

His eyes suddenly lit up and he looked around.

Seeing that no one noticed this side, he quickly pulled Shuangshuang to a darker place.

Seeing the big pumpkin and 20 pounds of sweet potatoes in Shuangshuang's backpack, I was overjoyed.

He took out a handful of money from his pocket and gave it all to Shuangshuang without even counting.

"The money is yours, and the grain is mine."

Then, without waiting for Shuangshuang's consent, he took out the sack he brought with him and quickly put the things into it.

Suansuan didn't care and went straight to counting the money. The total was 110 yuan.

Well, although these are a bit expensive, as long as I have food to eat, I am alive.

The two men exchanged money and goods in an instant, then went their separate ways and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
