A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 70 Encountering Song Yanchuan on the Black Market

Is it made of rosewood?

Qin Yingxue was truly shocked this time.

The box isn't big, only about the size of a palm, but it has a bit of weight to it.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yingxue directly put the furniture into her spatial storage. At this moment, Qin Yingxue looked at the pile of old furniture as if she had seen gold, and her eyes lit up.

Whether she disliked the broken pieces of furniture or was unaware of the preciousness of the wood, Qin Yingxue's search yielded a small mahogany square table, a sandalwood pen holder, and some broken copper and iron cans.

They looked dusty and damaged to varying degrees, but Qin Yingxue didn't mind and put them all into her space.

This was the first time she had felt so carefree since leaving Qing City.

Qin Yingxue has finally found the secret to making herself happy: collecting scrap.

Unfortunately, she found nothing more after searching further, so she had no choice but to take the newspaper to the old man to settle the score.

"Give me five cents!" Whether the old man had poor eyesight or was just lazy, he kept his eyes closed, chewing on his pipe, and didn't even glance at Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue took out five cents and put it on the table, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two packets of pastries before going to find Qian Xiaofeng and his sister.

Qian Xiaolian was the only one left at home. When she saw Qin Yingxue arrive, she poured a bowl of boiled water with sugar on her face with a big smile.

"Where's your brother?" Qin Yingxue asked after taking a couple of sips of her drink.

"Brother went to clean the warehouse," Qian Xiaolian said, then added nervously, "Does Sister need to see Brother about something important?"

"No, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see you. Xiaolian, when school starts, you must ask your brother to take you to school. Knowledge changes destiny. If you don't want your brother to work so hard, you must study hard."

Qin Yingxue looked at Qian Xiaolian with a serious expression.

“Okay, when my brother comes back, I will tell him what my sister said. Don’t worry, sister, as long as I go to school, I will definitely study hard.” Qian Xiaolian nodded solemnly.

Qin Yingxue smiled and reached out to pat her head: "I believe you!"

After leaving the Qian family, Qin Yingxue thought for a moment, disguised herself, and went to the black market again.

This time, she brought out rice and flour, which she bought from the mall. They were all unbleached and had a yellowish color. Of course, the price was also very good. The mall offered rice for 1.8 yuan per jin and flour for 1.5 yuan per jin.

Qin Yingxue took ten jin of each and planned to test the waters at the black market.

At the supply and marketing cooperative, rice cost 18 cents a pound and flour cost 12 cents a pound, but that was only if you had grain coupons.

Qin Yingxue planned to buy flour for 22 cents a pound and rice for 25 cents a pound.

This time, the person guarding the alley entrance was different; he had dark skin and was a few years older.

Qin Yingxue, familiar with the place, took two cents, picked up a basket, and walked in calmly.

I found a quiet spot where no one was setting up their stalls and just as I laid out the flour and rice, people gathered around and asked about the prices.

Upon hearing the price, an old man immediately bought them all.

Before the people behind could react, the old man bought all ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour that Qin Yingxue had brought.

Qin Yingxue was momentarily stunned, and even began to doubt whether she had asked for too low a price.

Since she had doubts, Qin Yingxue put the money away and planned to ask about it.

"Young lady, do you still have rice? Your rice looks whiter than theirs," an older woman asked, pulling Qin Yingxue aside.

Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat: "Auntie, we don't have any left. If we weren't short of money, we wouldn't be selling our own food rations at such a low price."

"It's a point or two lower than others." The old lady looked regretful when she heard that.

Qin Yingxue probably had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

One reason was that the price was a penny or two lower, and another was that even the lowest grade rice and flour in the mall looked the best in the 1980s.

After finding out the details, Qin Yingxue didn't delay any longer. She packed up her basket and was about to go back when she saw a familiar figure at the alley entrance and felt a surge of nervousness.

It was Song Yanchuan and another young man I had never seen before.

Seeing the two people walking towards her while talking, Qin Yingxue didn't know whether to leave or not, so she squatted down and pretended to pack her basket.

Fortunately, he had disguised himself before coming to the black market. He not only darkened his skin several shades, drew thicker eyebrows, added some freckles, and tied his long hair into a bun, but also wore a patched gray long coat and trousers. Even familiar people wouldn't recognize him for a while.

But Qin Yingxue didn't dare to take any chances and kept her head down, catching fish in the basket.

After Song Yanchuan and the other person had walked past, Qin Yingxue, for safety's sake, carefully observed that Song Yanchuan did not stop, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After watching the two people walk away, Qin Yingxue got up, picked up her basket, and left the black market.

"Brother Chuan, what are you looking at?" Li Shaohua asked curiously when he saw Song Yanchuan stop and look at the back of a woman.

"I didn't see anything." Song Yanchuan felt that the figure from behind gave him a strange feeling, with a strange sense of familiarity.

But after carefully searching his memory and confirming that he had no recollection of it, he could only conclude that he was being paranoid.

"Where is Old Li you mentioned?" Song Yanchuan focused his attention on the important matter at hand.

“I’ll take you there,” Li Shaohua said quickly.

She walked out of the alley and onto the main street in one breath. Seeing that no one was following her, Qin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and turned into another deserted alley to change her clothes back.

At the same time, they were also puzzled as to why Song Yanchuan would come to the black market.

Looking at the young man next to him, although he had changed into ordinary clothes, he walked with his back straight and his steps were perfectly measured, so he must have been a soldier.

Qin Yingxue raised her wrist and glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

We agreed to meet at the state-run hotel at 11:30.

Qin Yingxue had finished taking care of everything in the county town. Seeing that she still had plenty of time, she took the opportunity to secretly visit Qin Xiaocao at the hospital. Seeing that Qin Xiaocao's complexion had improved a lot and she was in good spirits, she secretly settled the medical bills. Afterwards, she took a walk towards the state-run restaurant.

Halfway there, she saw a fellow villager selling melons, and Qin Yingxue picked up two.

I saw a woman and a man arguing in the street. No matter how hysterical the woman's argument became, the man stood there quietly, without showing any anger, but he didn't say a word of comfort either, letting the woman rant and rave...

Qin Yingxue shook her head. A mess of trivialities—perhaps this is just the way life is!

I wonder what it would be like if she and Song Yanchuan had a fight?

But it was impossible for her to act like that woman and start a tirade. Song Yanchuan was indeed a reserved person, but Qin Yingxue inexplicably believed that he wouldn't let her vent her anger and ignore her.

Thinking back to her past life, she and Xie Guodong argued for half their lives. Later, he got annoyed and kept a woman as a mistress, only showing his face when he needed money each month.

By then, I had given up on him and was focused on making money. I didn't care about his scandals, as long as no one got killed.

I just wonder if Jiang Linlin, with her system, will be able to reform Xie Guodong?
