Chapter 131: Rest Assured 1/2
“Oh my! You're so polite.” Aunt Liu happily took it. “You bought it from the shop at the intersection, right? This must cost five or six cents, right? Next time, don't buy it there. The oil cakes and shortcakes in the black market are much cheaper.”
“I dare not go there even if they're cheaper.” Ying Sisi deliberately emphasized the word “dare.”
“Why are you afraid to buy things? If you're caught, you'll just get a few scoldings and be let go.” Aunt Liu brought out an iron pot and a cleaver she had bought in the black market. “I heard that they were dumped from the factory. They're almost half the price of those in the department store.”
Ying Sisi weighed the pot. It was heavy.
The cleaver was also heavy.
It would be good for chopping meat. “My family needs a good cleaver. Where did you buy it in the black market? I want to go take a look too.”
“I don't know if they still have them. Go take a look yourself.” Aunt Liu told her the name of the street. “Don't tell anyone, okay?”
Ying Sisi promised. “Of course.”
She stayed with Aunt Liu for a few hours. She used the excuse of going back to her parents' house to leave. She rode her bike to the black market Aunt Liu had mentioned.
As soon as she left the street.
She ran into Li Yuwei. Li Yuwei was carrying big bags and small bags. She waved to Sisi.
When Sisi got off her bike, she said,
“Sister, I have something to ask you.”
Li Yuwei couldn't sleep well after she and Feng Shuangxi came out of the hotel that day.
She vaguely felt that the problem lay with Sisi.
She had been wanting to ask Sisi to verify things for the past few days. But she didn't have a pass. She couldn't enter the family complex. She was about to die of anxiety.
Ying Sisi was surprised. The sun must have risen in the west. “Ask me? Go ahead. I always speak freely.” But if it's about you, I'll make something up.
Li Yuwei stammered. “It's just…Feng Shuangxi…if you had married him, how would you be a wife?”
Ying Sisi was stunned. She said inexplicably, “Why would I marry him?” He can wish.
“What if…what if I had chosen Qin Yanci. My father arranged for you to marry Feng Shuangxi. What would you do?”
Ying Sisi's expression turned serious. “Would I have to listen if he arranged for me?”
I really had no choice but to marry Feng Shuangxi.
I would beat him up three days out of every week.
You stinky hooligan!
Thinking about it, she smiled. “Are you testing me? Rest assured. Feng Shuangxi is your man. I wouldn't even glance at him. Besides, I've already married A-Ci. I only have him in my eyes and my heart. Don't thank me for giving him up to you. You should be glad you didn't choose him. After all, you always get on his nerves. If you married him, you'd be beaten up every day.”
Li Yuwei: "."
Ying Sisi didn't want to bother with Li Yuwei anymore. She finished speaking and rode her bike to the black market.
There weren't many buyers in the market.
But there were many sellers.
Straw mats, baskets, oil cakes, and other dried goods were everywhere.
There was a stall selling seafood. She set her eyes on the silver carp in the vendor's tub.
“Hello, brother. How much is this fish per pound?”
“One yuan. It's 1.5 yuan at the vegetable market. Girl, do you want two pounds?”
Ying Sisi thought the price was fair. “Three pounds.” Qin Yanci loves to eat fish.
He can eat one big fish at a meal.
Three is not enough.
“Alright.” The fishmonger weighed it and put it in a burlap sack. He handed it to Sisi. “Here you go, girl.”
Sisi took out a ten yuan bill.
The fishmonger said awkwardly, “I can't break it. Do you have smaller bills?”
“Yes, but I only have two yuan. It's not enough.”
“Why don't you pick something else? The crucian carp is seven cents, and the bighead carp is five cents. They total five yuan. Then I can give you change.”
Ying Sisi nodded. “Alright. The bighead carp is too big. You pick a crucian carp.”
“Alright, you're such a kind person.”
