Chapter 163: Let’s Get Engaged! (4)
Most of the people in the villagers were wearing canvas shoes now and would wear cotton-padded shoes in the winter. Barely anyone wore leather shoes.
Mo Beihan did not insist on this and thus did not buy another pair. Afterward, he bought another two bottles of Maotai, 500 grams of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, three tins of malted milk and 1500 grams of hard candy.
The hard candies were reserved for the children in the brigade as wedding candy.
It was too attention-grabbing to give creamy candies to all as having hard candies was already pretty good. Most of the people did not have any sweets at their weddings.
After buying all of these, they left the departmental store with Mo Beihan still wis.h.i.+ng to continue purchasing more.
Gu Qingyao was caught between laughter and tears. “You still think that it’s not enough after spending so much money?”
Mo Beihan laughed. “It’s all right. I’ll just earn more after spending it. Don’t worry, I definitely will not let you suffer.”
The both of them looked for an empty spot and deposited all the items in the inters.p.a.ce before visiting the black market.
The black market in the city was indeed livelier than in town and there were evidently many more people here.
After walking a round, they traded ten over grams of food supplies. Seeing that it was about noon, Mo Beihan pondered for a moment and led Gu Qingyao to an empty place. “Yao Yao, are you intending to sell away all those items?”
They had been in the inters.p.a.ce for a period of time and Yao Yao had already told him about the storage in the inters.p.a.ce. As such, Mo Beihan finally ascertained that his Yao Yao indeed brought all the supplies from the inters.p.a.ce in the previous lifetime back to this lifetime.
Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and said, “I… will trade any items that I can! I wasn’t thinking that they must be traded. But Brother Beihan, isn’t this a chance for us? If we trade them, we can acc.u.mulate our wealth and help even more people at the same time. So why not?”
She was not the past Gu Qingyao anymore. The moment she was knocked down by the car and saw Mo Beihan also being knocked down when he came to save her, her personality changed completely!
It’s said that everything would be different once you experience life and death. Perhaps, this was indeed the case for her!
She had too many worries in her past lifetime. As she faced onslaughts of rumors when she was still young and had not yet matured, she failed to bear through the situation.
The previous lifetime was lived with too many frustrations and in this lifetime, she did not want to live that way anymore. She would do anything that would make her life more exciting!
If she still could not live like a human even after being given another lifetime and her inters.p.a.ce still with her, she would be too sorry to the G.o.ds!
As Mo Beihan looked at the young lady before him, he felt that her eyes were especially bright at this instant, even brighter than any moment in their previous lifetime. She was really different now!
He liked the current Yao Yao even more – she was bold, energetic and ambitious!
Motivated!
Mo Beihan chuckled and rubbed Gu Qingyao’s head. “As long as you like it. There’s no reason why we should pa.s.s up an opportunity given to us by this time period. I was still worried that you would be afraid!
“Since that’s the case, let me bring you to meet a person. More things can be traded at a faster speed at his side.”
Gu Qingyao was taken aback!
Mo Beihan said, “It’s about the same as what Chen Jin does. However, this person operates on a larger scale and specialises in this. He sells to those powerful figures and even some civilians. It’s like an independent black market with many sources that earn from both the underground and legal sources.”
Gu Qingyao understood immediately!
There were still many people who could not accept that they were forbidden from trading after living under the free trade system that had been in place for a few thousand years. Although there was very tight control, underground black markets were aplenty.
Everyone was not doing anything evil anyway and merely wanted to lead a better life in these tumultuous times. What more, many were merely doing it for the sake of survival.
