After the meal, Meng Xiaoman was about to lock the door, but Xiao Xiangdong called out, "Don't close it yet, Xiao Xiangshang will come over later."

There was a reply to the letter Xiao Xiangdong sent last time, and the plan came to fruition. He called Xiao Xiangshang to come over, which was exactly what he was talking about.

Liu Zhiyuan, a classmate of Xiao Xiangshang, works in the county meat factory. He is a smart and sociable person. Because of his work, many people usually come to him to ask if they can get meat. But he is just a small employee and has no ability at all. Even if there is some welfare meat in the factory, it is far from enough for these people.

Liu Zhiyuan once complained to him in a letter that such a good opportunity to make money and build relationships was wasted.

Xiao Xiangdong wrote to him this time to discuss cooperation: if he gets wild animals, he will sell them, and he will get a certain percentage of the money obtained.

"Thirty percent? Isn't it a bit much?" Xiao Xiang said.

"It's not much, I originally suggested 40%." Xiao Xiangdong said, but Liu Zhiyuan said too much, so he changed it to 30%.

Meng Xiaoman also agreed: "Wild animals grow naturally. It is a cost-free business for us. We only need to invest more energy. It is different with him. If you want to sell it, you will take greater risks."

Xiao Xiangdong nodded: "I have calculated that if he sells it directly to the city people, the price is a quarter higher than the price paid to the middleman on the black market. Based on this calculation, we have not made much less, and it is safer." .

Meat tickets for urban residents are fixed every month. Even if they have money, they often cannot buy meat. Therefore, the price of meat on the black market is very high.

Xiao nodded upward.

With the help of buying cement, he inquired about the situation of the gang in the Shangou Brigade. They were very cautious and did not reveal their real names. Xiao Xiangshang only knew that the people below called the boss Tiger Brother.

This name sounds like a fake name and is of no use at all. But after Meng Xiaoman found out, she firmly told Xiao Xiangdong that Xiao Xiangshang must not be allowed to join them.

Xiao Xiangdong asked why, but Meng Xiaoman only said that he had a secret channel and asked him to wait and see.

Xiao Xiangdong was used to her somewhat out-of-the-box temperament and didn't ask any more questions. He just warned Xiao Xiang that he was looking for channels so that he could wait with peace of mind.

In Xiao Xiangshang's heart, Xiao Xiangdong has always been a symbol of reliability and ability, so he rejected the people from the Shangou Brigade.

Xiao Xiangxiang and Meng Xiaoman had already left. After discussion, the three decided that they would enter the trap at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Xiangdong's legs were too inconvenient to go into the mountains.

To supply Liu Zhiyuan, the two or three pheasants and rabbits in Waishantao were too few.

"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister-in-law."

Xiao Xiangshang vowed firmly.

"Have you forgotten? I can climb trees. If I encounter danger, I will climb the tree."

Meng Xiaoman is full of confidence.

Only Xiao Xiangdong was not at ease.

"I'll teach you some techniques to identify the traces of wild beasts and avoid them."

The matter of entering the mountain was confirmed, and the three of them decided on their share of the money.

Liu Zhiyuan took 30%, leaving 70%, Xiao Xiangdong 40%, and Xiao Xiangshang 30%.

"Third brother, this can't be done. I took too much for myself. You and your sister-in-law are alone."

Xiao Xiangshang shook his head quickly.

"Listen to what I have to say. Your sister-in-law is a girl and has little strength, so I don't worry about it. She can go up the mountain with you to lay traps, but you have to do the things of carrying the prey down the mountain and taking the prey to the agreed place. .”

Xiao Xiangdong has selfish motives. He doesn't want Meng Xiaoman to be too tired. He would rather earn less than put her in danger.

After listening to this, Xiao Xiangshang patted his chest and said, "Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let my sister-in-law get hurt. Even if I am caught, I will never accuse you."

"What nonsense!" Xiao Xiangdong slapped him in the head, "The most important thing when doing this is your mentality. You can't show a guilty conscience. Even if someone catches you, you have to say that they are relatives and they are giving things away. Come here, this is just a relationship between relatives, it does not involve business. Do you understand?"

Xiao Xiangshang covered his head and said hurriedly: "I know, I know.".

"Then when do we start?"

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow you and I will go up the mountain first to see where a trap is suitable. After work, go to the mountainside behind and look for me under the old locust tree. By the way, remember to go to my house and grab the trap before you come. s things."

"Sister-in-law, won't you go?"

"Xiaoman won't go tomorrow."

He had to check it first before he felt reassured.

After Xiao walked up, Meng Xiaoman said, "How about I go there tomorrow? Are your legs and feet okay?"

"It's okay. I'll leave early and take my time."

Seeing Meng Xiaoman's disbelief, Xiao Xiangdong added, "It's true, after taking the medicine you gave me, I don't feel pain at night anymore."

"Then take one more tonight." Meng Xiaoman said, opening the kang cabinet in the corner, taking out the porcelain bottle, pouring one, and handing it out.

Xiao Xiangdong didn't answer: "No, my legs are just like this. No matter how much you eat, it's a waste. You'd better keep it. It doesn't hurt now and it's already fine."

Meng Xiaoman didn't like to hear him say such words. She immediately lowered her face and stared at him: "What's better? Can you walk, run, or jump?".

This person is really ignorant, Meng Xiaoman thought angrily.

Xiao Xiangdong was really angry when he saw her bulging cheeks, and hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant, I was afraid of wasting it. Doctors in the provincial capital said that unless a miracle happens, my legs will probably stay like this for the rest of my life. Your medicine It’s a good medicine, but it’s not worth using it on me.”

After hearing what he said, Meng Xiaoman immediately said angrily: "It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. I make the decision about my medicine. I can do with it whatever I want. If I'm happy, I'll throw it away."

"Yeah, you're right." Xiao Xiangdong nodded obediently.

Meng Xiaoman did not calm down. Seeing his slightly raised eyes and raised lips, she became even more angry. She picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at him, "You're still laughing!".

Xiao Xiangdong caught the pillow accurately and put it away for her, "Okay, okay, I don't laugh, but it would be a pity if you threw it away." He immediately straightened the corners of his mouth and straightened his face.

"Humph, that's pretty much it." Meng Xiaoman said with satisfaction, "Then, do you want to take this medicine or not?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows slightly and tilted his head to look at him.

"Eat, eat immediately." Xiao Xiangdong stretched out his palm.

Meng Xiaoman lowered her eyes and glanced at his hand, without comment. Xiao Xiangdong had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately offered his other hand, with his hands touching each other, palms up, as if begging.

Meng Xiaoman smiled happily and threw the pill into his hand, "Here, I'll reward you.".

The tone and actions were obviously full of frivolity, but Xiao Xiangdong did not feel humiliated or uncomfortable at all, but felt happy.

He raised his hand to take the pill, but his eyes were staring at her little face, which became more lively and agile due to the raised corners of her mouth and eyebrows, and the flowing eyes, and her eyes were deep.
