Chapter 284: Chapter 0284 Feihong the Person4_1

"Profiteering? That’s a serious crime!" This Shen Feihong is really daring. If he inadvertently offends someone, and that person reports him, according to the current law, he’d be headed down a one-way street to death.

"Everyone knows profiteering is a serious crime, just like us, we also know that the state strictly prohibits private trading, but so what? We still enter and leave the black market as needed. Everyone is looking for a way to survive, as long as they can stay alive, who cares if the way is legal or not?" Wang Dachun didn’t find anything strange, "People who do the same kind of business as Shen Feihong always leave a way out for themselves."

"But how could they leave a way out in this line of work?" Feng Qingxue couldn’t figure it out.

Wang Dachun chuckled, "Do you think anyone in this business can do deals with just anyone? That’s not the case. Buying in the countryside doesn’t matter, because no one there knows who he is, but the selling aspect is important. He needs to deal with neighbors and clients with purchasing power he can trust, and build a long-term, secretive partnership with them. He wouldn’t casually sell to strangers. Anyone who bought from Shen Feihong and then reported him would be accused by him of being a long-term buyer, and that’s his main escape plan. He’s probably got a few things up his sleeve to save his own life and deter others from reporting him."

When Feng Qingxue had finished listening, she puzzledly said: "Big brother, how do you know all of this so clearly?"

"I once thought of getting into this business, but I couldn’t make it since buying was easy but selling was hard. However, I’m well aware of the ins and outs." Wang Dachun snorted, "Moreover, this Shen Feihong is not a stranger to us."

"Not a stranger?" Feng Qingxue repeated like a parrot.

Wang Dachun nodded, "I have an aunt, you have an aunt, don’t you remember?"

"I haven’t forgotten, and there’s an uncle too, aren’t they all working in the city? I’ve never met them."

"And this guy, Shen Feihong, his maternal aunt is my aunt’s wife. Got it? In terms of relatives, Shen Feihong is their nephew." His aunt was a concubine, so she had to treat the relatives of the original wife as her own.

Feng Qingxue frowned, "Are you saying that my aunt is not my uncle’s original wife?"

Wang Dachun murmured an agreement, "Exactly. Our family is from the country and we were tenant farmers. Before liberation, even though our aunt was beautiful and well-known in the village, which city girl couldn’t they have married? Who would have fancied her? It was only after his original wife died leaving him with two sons and a daughter, and a couple of older family members to take care of, that he was unable to find a city girl from a similar background to marry. That’s why he sought a matchmaker and married our aunt. Once she had ascended from her humble background, she no longer acknowledged us sparrows."

"After all that, we still have such complicated connections with Shen Feihong, unbelievable."

"What’s so strange about it? The county town is so small, with a limited population, and transportation is inconvenient. As a result, when it comes to taking a wife or giving a daughter in marriage, everyone seeks relatives in the vicinity so they can help each other out. So, there are countless connections of kinship in each nearby village."

Indeed, Feng Qingxue had never thought that Aunt Xu would be from Guan Cheng.

A thing called fate is really hard to say.

Wang Dachun, who loved to reminisce about the past, told Feng Qingxue all about her aunt and uncle’s family situation. He only finished when they entered the Wanglou Brigade, where they ran into Uncle Feng and his two sons who were about to leave.
