Chapter 56: The Black Market 3

Just as Jiang Qingwan was about to leave this alley, an old lady with a sallow complexion and gray hair appeared in her sight, walking hurriedly.

When the old lady saw someone, she walked up to him and asked in a low voice. Then when she saw the person, she shook her head and continued to ask other people, but the anxious look on her face became more intense.

When Jiang Qingwan saw this, she looked around and found that several grain sellers were already eyeing her, probably because she had too much stuff coming out of her hands.

Originally, she should leave this place quickly and get rid of the people who were staring at her.

But seeing how worried and anxious the old lady was, I thought I might help if I could.

The old lady asked several people, but none of them had eggs or brown sugar. She was so anxious that her daughter-in-law had just given birth to a baby and was in confinement. There was not even a morsel of fine food in the house. The milk could not come down and the baby was so hungry.

Crying.

The old lady had no choice but to come to the black market, wondering if she could buy some brown sugar eggs and go back to supplement her daughter-in-law's food. It would be better if she had refined grains.

Jiang Qingwan walked to the old lady. The old lady was rubbing her hands and almost cried out of worry. Brown sugar and eggs were very expensive, and they were rare on the black market. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them, but your daughter-in-law didn’t have them anymore.

Milk, what should I do with the baby at home?

The old lady was worried and didn't know what to do, when she heard a voice coming from her ear.

"Auntie, what do you need? Let me see if I have it here?" Jiang Qingwan asked softly.

"Daughter, do you have any eggs and brown sugar?" When the old lady saw Jiang Qingwan, her eyes suddenly shone with hope, and she looked at the little girl in front of her who looked a little older.

Jiang Qingwan was about to answer yes, but she noticed a few eyes staring at her, so she whispered in the old lady's ear: "Mom, I don't have it now!"

The light in the old lady's eyes immediately disappeared when she heard this, but she heard the girl say: "Someone in this black market is targeting me. I have to get rid of them first. My home is not far away. I will go back to get it. You go first."

Wait for me in front of the meat stall at the meat joint factory!"

The old lady was very excited when she saw that the girl had something to offer, but she regained her composure after thinking about what the girl said about people watching around her.

A pair of rough and thin hands held Jiang Qingwan's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Daughter, do you really have eggs and brown sugar? Okay, I'll wait for you there, I'll wait there!"

"Auntie, you go first. I'll take care of things here first. I'll be there soon!"

When the old lady got the reply, her eyes were full of surprise, she nodded quickly, and then walked out of the alley quickly.

Not long after the old lady left, Jiang Qingwan traded a sum of coarse grains and deliberately stayed for a while, lest the grain dealers who were eyeing her would stare at the old lady.

After the transaction, Jiang Qingwan quickly walked out of the black market and ran into the nearby residential area.

The middle-aged men following behind watched the girl turn into the residential area, moving so fast that she could no longer see her shadow.

Then they looked at each other, nodded, and started running, chasing the girl together.

They had been watching this girl for a long time and had traded her on the black market many times. It looked like she was not an ordinary farmer who just came to exchange for things.

This girl must have a way to get food. If they catch this girl, they can get the food in her hands.

They can't let such a good opportunity to make a fortune go to waste!
