Su Xiaomeng pushed open the shabby wooden door and ran out. Just after she took two steps, a rough big hand reached out and stopped her.

"We are going to the countryside to support the rural areas tomorrow. Brother Pan, why are you running around when you are not at home and pack your luggage?"

Su Xiaomeng turned her head and looked at the skinny middle-aged woman. Then she remembered that Su Xiaomeng had a mother who favored boys over girls. In order to allow her youngest son Su Tianci to stay in the city, she even falsified Su Pandi's age and let her go to the countryside instead of Su Tianci.

When Su's mother saw that Su Xiaomeng didn't say anything, she knew that she was angry. In order to avoid any trouble, she quickly put on a sincere look and held Su Xiaomeng's hand.

"Brother Pan, I know you don't want to go to the countryside, but the higher-ups have issued a document requiring each family to arrange for one child to go there. Your brother has been unable to carry anything since he was a child. Do you really have the heart to let him suffer in the countryside?"

"You are the elder sister, you have to take care of your younger brother..."

Su Xiaomeng has received a complete compulsory education and is the little princess of the Su family. Of course, she will not be brainwashed by Su's mother.

But seeing that Su's mother was talking endlessly, Su Xiaomeng didn't want to waste time, so she pretended to be deeply moved.

"Mom, I know that Tianci is the pillar of our family. He will be the one to carry on the family line for our Su family. He cannot go to the countryside. He must stay in the city, study hard, and make a name for himself."

Hearing Su Xiaomeng say this, Su's mother was very pleased and patted her hands gently. When she was about to praise her, Su Xiaomeng changed the subject.

"Mom, I heard from my classmates that the school has prepared a small gift for students who are willing to take the initiative to go to the countryside. The quantity is limited, first come first served."

Hearing that there was something to be gotten for free, Su's mother was very excited. She urged Su Xiaomeng to leave quickly and asked if she wanted to go over to help.

"Mom, in order to prevent someone from being forced to go to the countryside, this little gift must be picked up by myself."

After saying that, Su Xiaomeng didn't give her mother time to react. She pushed open the door and ran out quickly. According to the map provided by Qiqi, she ran towards the direction of the trust store.

Trust stores are actually second-hand stores where people sell their temporarily unused furniture, clothes and other old items to the stores, or put them on consignment at the stores in exchange for money to tide them over difficult times.

Of course, where there is selling, there is buying. Visiting trust stores has become a hobby for many people, sometimes not for buying, but just for browsing. Some people with sharp eyes can often find good things.

The heroine Xia Yingtian's golden finger was found by accident when she was shopping in a trust store.

Because she was stopped by Su's mother, when Su Xiaomeng rushed to the store, Xia Yingtian had already bought the jade bracelet and was standing quietly aside, waiting for the salesperson to pack it up.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Su Xiaomeng was out of breath. She rushed to the counter and grabbed the box containing the jade bracelet. "We don't sell it anymore, we don't sell it anymore!"

When Qiqi saw Su Xiaomeng's actions, she instantly got furious and screamed in her mind.

"Host, you are crazy! This era is very chaotic. The guards are all armed with guns. If you rob them directly, you will be shot."

Su Xiaomeng didn't say anything. She held the box containing the jade bracelet tightly in her hands, foaming at the mouth, and fell down.

"Comrade, comrade? Comrade, are you okay?"

Before everyone could recover from Su Xiaomeng's strange behavior, they saw her suddenly faint and quickly surrounded her.

Some people pinched the Ren Zhong point, some patted the back, and some fed water.

After a lot of tossing and turning, Su Xiaomeng finally woke up, still holding the small box tightly in her hand: "Thank you for saving me."

Seeing that the man was fine, a member of the escort team stepped out from the crowd and said coldly, "Tell me, why did you suddenly rush out to grab things? Don't you know that it is a serious crime and you will be shot?"

"I didn't steal anything," Su Xiaomeng pretended to be weak, "It was originally mine. It was the only thing my grandmother left me. I didn't expect my brother to secretly take it out and sell it!"

"You said that it was your grandmother's. Do you have any evidence?"

Su Xiaomeng quickly replied: "Yes, my brother is Su Tianci. Please check whether this person's bracelet is consigned by Su Tianci."

The salesperson opened the account book, checked it quickly, and shook his head slightly.

"Sorry, this bracelet is not consigned by Su Tianci!"

"How is that possible!" Su Xiaomeng was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. "I heard my brother say it with my own ears. He sold the bracelet! Can you help me check if it has been sold!"

The salesperson flipped through the account book again and sighed: "Sorry, Su Tianci has never sold anything in our store!"

"We only have this one Trust Supermarket here, he must be selling it there, comrade, comrade, I beg you, please help me check it again. I'm going to the countryside soon, and I may not be able to come back!"

"Comrade, I really don't have it." The salesperson looked reluctant, "If it's a jade bracelet, it's actually more popular in the pigeon market and the black market."

Su Xiaomeng shook her head vigorously: "Impossible! My brother is a good boy, he would never go to the black market! I understand, my brother is lying to me, he didn't secretly sell grandma's relics."

When the salesperson heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. She even stole things, and she can still be a good child. This girl is still too young.

But on the surface, in order to avoid a commotion, the salesperson still spoke softly to comfort her.

"Comrade, you may have heard wrongly. Your brother did not steal anything. Otherwise, you can give me the bracelet first and then go back to look for it."

Su Xiaomeng seemed to have regained her senses. She apologized proactively, returned the small box in her hand to the salesperson, and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, it's okay, just be more careful next time."

The guards of the trust store did not care much. After all, the body Su Xiaomeng was using now was caused by lack of food and clothing and abuse by her parents since childhood. Although she was an adult, she looked only about fourteen or fifteen years old.

In addition, after Su Xiaomeng came in and shouted, she fainted. If she was really arrested as a robber, she would not be commended but would become a huge laughing stock.

In order to complete the subsequent tasks more conveniently, Su Xiaomeng plans to get closer to Xia Yingtian...
