Chapter 12 Patrol

   "Let me tell you, you confiscated the wrong money. It was two shawls that were stolen."

  Su Wen told Su Xiaomei what happened just now, and didn't treat her as a child who didn't understand anything just because she was young.

  Chen Weimin was stunned watching from the sidelines, thinking that the eldest girl of the Su family is really eloquent.

   She can speak too much. He has sold so many things, but he has never seen anyone who can speak better than the eldest girl of the Su family.

  Not only is he eloquent, but he is also very measured in doing things.

  Women who have just stolen are repeat offenders. He often comes here to steal things, and if he is caught, he will bite back, and the whistleblower will be speculative.

   Everyone knows it well, but they can only endure it.

   "Young girl of the Su family, not bad!" Chen Weimin praised sincerely.

   "Brother Chen, you are welcome." Su Wen smiled modestly, like a mirror in her heart.

   When things were stolen just now, Chen Weimin really saw it.

  ****

  At noon, the sisters bought three white flour steamed buns to pad their stomachs, and Su Xiaomei ate them with relish. When you are thirsty, drink the water you bring.

  But Su Wen has been very picky since she was a child. She doesn't like to drink plain water, and she drinks very little.

  I thought about going back to see if I could go into the mountains to pick some wild fruits and come back to make some fruit tea.

   Asked Chen Weimin about it, and there are indeed wild kiwi fruit, red snake fruit, wild hawthorn, honeysuckle, wild persimmon trees and so on in the mountains.

  Su Wen was elated.

  There were no people in the black market in the afternoon, and it was not until four or five o'clock that the peak period came.

  Su Wen yelled for a long time, and sold twenty-one pairs of sleeves. Because one person bought too much, he also gave away two shawls.

   It made the customers smile, praising Su Wen repeatedly for her ability to do business, and she will take care of business when she has the opportunity.

   "Here comes the inspection."

   With a loud roar, the people in the black market were like startled rabbits, rolling up their things one by one and running fast.

  Su Xiaomei's face was pale with fright, and she hurriedly helped Su Wen pack her things.

  The swarm of fleeing people almost knocked Su Xiaomei down, but fortunately Su Wen caught her quickly.

   "It's too late, I don't want anything."

  Seeing that the way to escape was blocked by other tofu sellers and egg sellers, Su Wen was extremely decisive. She hugged the small cloth bag for collecting money, and took Su Xiaomei and ran away.

   "Sleeve protectors, shawls." Su Xiaomei burst into tears with distress, and cried as she ran desperately with Su Wen.

  For her, these are made by the elder sister and the second sister staying up all night, each of which is painstaking effort and hard-earned money.

   Just losing it like this is more distressing than cutting flesh from her.

   "It's okay, it's worthless."

  Su Wen didn't even blink her eyes. For her, today's income has basically met the requirements. For that little thing, being caught is not worth the loss.

  And they are selling things secretly, and they cannot let the people in the village know. According to her understanding, the grandparents, second aunt, and third aunt of the seven Su family sisters in the novel are not good people.

  If she and her younger sister are arrested, those people will definitely make trouble.

  ****

   After successfully running out, the sleeves and shawl were gone, so hurry up and go home.

   On the way back, I passed a pork shop, because there was a little left over at the end, and the boss didn't want meat tickets, so Su Wen bought two and a half catties of pork ribs and one and seven taels of pork belly.

   It cost two yuan and fifty cents in total.

   Mainly pork belly is expensive and bones are cheap.

   These days, everyone lacks oil and water in their stomachs. There is only a little meat on the bones, and there is no oil and water, and no one cares about it.

   It only cost 50 cents for two and a half catties. It was the first time the butcher seller met someone who mainly bought ribs, and he was deeply impressed by Su Wen.

   "Go, let's go home."

  Carrying the heavy bones and flesh, Su Xiaomei finally stopped crying. I broke my tears into a smile, and I was already fantasizing about the taste of meat.

  It must be delicious.

   Walking all the way back, my whole body is full of energy.

   When they arrived at Sanjiaying, it was just getting dark, and the sisters happened to meet their third aunt Chen Guihua at the head of the village.
