Chapter 280: Chapter 0280 String-Pulling Trade 4_1

Although the old woman was sad, she said, "Alright, I’ll keep it for you. When we are meant to meet again, please don’t reject me."

Feng Qingxue smiled and nodded. The two then parted ways.

Just as she was approaching another black market, Feng Qingxue suddenly stopped in her tracks, standing on the roadside without moving forward.

Because she saw many people scattering and fleeing, all in a hurried manner.

Some were quick-footed and ran at lightning speed away from the black market. The elderly and women who couldn’t run fast were despairing. Standing nearby were young men and women wearing green military outfits with red armbands. Just looking at their outfits, it was hard to tell who they were, but clearly, they were inspecting illegal black market trades.

Trade in the underground market is illegal.

An old man wearing an old Zhongshan suit impatiently said, "Comrade, I was just resting under the old elm tree, why are you arresting me? Look, look, I have no money, no things."

As he spoke, he turned out his pockets, which were indeed empty.

Seeing this, the young man who arrested him frowned, "You can leave!"

After the old man left, others who had been arrested followed suit; if they had no money or goods on them, there was no evidence against them. Those who brought grain and grain tickets to sell, but had not negotiated a deal or left the black market were all confiscated.

Not only were their goods confiscated, but they also had to face criticism and education.

Among these people, Shen Feihong was unexpectedly present.

Feng Qingxue frowned as she saw Shen Feihong’s basket being confiscated. It was uncertain whether he came to sell or buy grain, inevitably, he was caught, while others were cast down, he stood tall facing the young woman criticizing him.

"Why are you arresting me, comrade? I just enjoy wandering around. Some bastard must’ve dropped the basket by my feet and ran away. The basket hit my foot and I was jumping around in pain when you arrived. The goods are not mine, why are you criticizing me? I can’t bear the brunt of this accusation! Everyone knows me, homeless and jobless, without a salary and an old grandmother at home. The two of us live on a small grain ration, how could I have grain to sell in the black market?"

The young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was left speechless by his words.

Feng Qingxue thought and then walked over to greet the young woman. "Comrade, I saw what happened when I was passing by. Someone is framing him."

The young woman looked at Feng Qingxue, "Really?"

"Uh huh!" Feng Qingxue nodded vigorously.

"Then why are you carrying a basket? Don’t you know this place is a crime scene?"

Shen Feihong’s eyes lit up at the sight of Feng Qingxue. Upon hearing the young woman’s words, he immediately became unhappy, "Comrade, the road is wide and each takes one side. What’s wrong with my sister passing by here? She is a country girl coming to find me, don’t believe it, you can ask around, ask if she needs to take this route to my house."

As soon as he heard the name "Shen Feihong," the young man criticising others nearby immediately said, "Cao Jing, let him go."

Shen Feihong puffed out his chest and left the black market under the old elm tree with Feng Qingxue.

"Thanks a lot, sister. Today, I owe you a favor," Shen Feihong said cheerfully.

Feng Qingxue cut to the chase: "Brother, I am really looking for you. I really like the bracelet from yesterday. Can you connect me? I want to exchange the other one with grain."

These two Chapters should have been updated yesterday, but my computer died, so I had to rewrite and update them today. I’m home taking care of my mischievous child, my sister and brother-in-law helped me buy a computer, spent a lot of money today. Not just money bleeding, but my face was scratched by the mischievous child. There will be four more Chapters this afternoon. I should be able to type faster with the new laptop.
