Chapter 122 Going to the Black Market and Meeting an Old Lady
After putting the bicycles into the space, Tang Hua took out cosmetics from the space and painted on them, and then painted on herself. In an instant, they changed their appearance. Even if their parents stood in front of them, they would not be recognized. Looking at their shocked eyes, she calmly waved her hand and said, "This is the right way to go to the black market. Let's go."
After saying that, Tang Hua and his brothers adjusted their clothes and hairstyles to make themselves look more like ordinary passers-by. Then, they swaggered towards the entrance of the alley together.
When they reached the alley, the man guarding the entrance saw them approaching and stopped them, asking, "Buy or sell?"
Tang Hua looked at the person in front of him and replied calmly, "Buy it."
The man looked at these little brats and said, "One cent each."
Tang Hua took out forty cents from his small bag and handed it to the other party.
After the man took the money, he nodded and told them: "Go in, and if you hear anyone shouting, you must hide immediately or run away quickly."
After Tang Hua thanked him, he walked into the alley with a few people. As soon as they entered, they saw many people wearing hats and covering their faces squatting next to baskets. Some people would squat down to take a look and ask about the price when passing by. If they thought it was suitable, they would buy it. If not, they would get up and leave.
They didn't have anything to buy, they just walked in out of curiosity. When they were about to leave, they suddenly heard an old voice: "Can I exchange this bracelet for some food?"
The stall owner looked at the haggard old woman and noticed that she was holding an old-looking but good-quality bracelet. The stall owner thought that such a bracelet might have been worth a lot in the past, but it is no longer valuable now. However, he responded: "At this time, it is not worth much. I can only give you five catties of fine grain at most. If you are willing to accept it, we can exchange it."
Tang Hua looked at the old woman and could not help but feel distressed. She saw that the old woman had good qualities and could enjoy a peaceful old age. Now that she was here, there was only one possibility that she was sent down. She thought about helping the old woman, so she walked up to her and said, "Grandma, I like this bracelet very much. Can I exchange it with you for some grain?"
The old woman turned around and looked at the few adults. A hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in her eyes, but she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you serious? My old man is sick, so I wanted to come in and find some fine food for him."
Tang Hua nodded quickly and said, "Of course it's true! Don't worry, mother-in-law, we won't lie to you."
At this time, Gu Chuan, who had been silent, spoke: "It's true, let's leave here first and talk about it outside." His voice suddenly became low and firm, making people feel inexplicably at ease.
The old woman looked at the group of children in front of her, feeling hesitant, but when she thought of her sick husband at home who needed food to supplement his nutrition, she finally nodded and agreed to leave with them. Anyway, if they were not serious, she would just come in again later.
The group walked out of the black market and came to the street outside. The old woman tightly grasped the jade bracelet in her hand, looking nervous and expectant.
Tang Hua smiled and said to the old woman, "Don't worry, grandma. We will keep our promise. Then she took the basket from Xiaobao's back, reached in, and moved out 50 kilograms of fine grains and 50 kilograms of white flour from her own space." She walked closer to the grandma and showed her a little of what was inside.
Sure enough, after seeing this, the old woman's eyes sparkled with tears of gratitude. She thanked him repeatedly and said, "Children, come with me. I will take you to my place."
Several people nodded, turned left and right and came to the place where the old lady lived. It was two low houses, which looked a bit shabby, but it was not a problem for people to live. After the old lady took them in, she said, "Children, my husband and I are from Haishi. We are both university professors. We were framed by students and sent here. Now we are cleaning the toilet next door. If you are afraid, leave here quickly."
Tang Hua glanced around and found that the room was empty. There was no place to hide anything. She couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little confused. Then, she asked the old woman, "Grandma, you live in the town, so there should be people coming to check on you often, right?"
The old woman nodded, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in her eyes, and she replied softly: "Yes, girl, my husband and I have indeed suffered a lot over the years. At first, the children would send some things from other places, but they were always snatched away by those people. Later, my son came to visit us secretly, and I told him not to send things anymore, for fear that they would be confiscated again." At this point, the old woman's voice became choked, and tears welled up in her eyes.
After a pause, the old woman continued, "After that, my son gave me some old things and asked me to keep them for emergencies. Whenever my family needed food, I would take these old things to exchange for some coarse grains. But recently, the old man's cough has become more and more serious, and he can no longer eat coarse grains. So, I thought of exchanging the old things for some fine grains so that he can eat more comfortably."
All of them were emotional people, and after listening to it, they mentally blamed those who did not do their job.
Tang Hua walked into the small kitchen and saw only a tattered cabinet. She went forward and put the food in the basket, put a large piece of bacon in, took some medicine for colds, coughs and fever, and then put a hidden talisman.
Then he pulled the old woman over and drew a symbol on her palm before saying, "Grandma, I put food and meat in this cabinet. The meat will have a strong smell if you cook it here. You can cut it and put it in with the rice so that it won't have a strong smell. Don't worry, only you can see these food, no one else can see them."
The old woman wanted to say something, but after hearing this, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the little girl who was only about ten years old. Tang Hua knew her doubts and gently patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, just wait."
After Tang Hua finished speaking, he shouted outside, "Myna, come in for a moment."
Gu Chuan heard his sister's cry and walked in and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Tang Hua pointed at the cabinet and asked him, "What's here?"
Gu Chuan looked at the empty cabinet and said, "Isn't this just an empty cabinet? What can be inside?"
The old woman looked at him and knew that the girl had not lied to her. She held her hand and said, "You are a capable person. I believe in you."
Tang Hua stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, hurry up and cook something for Grandpa. There are some medicines for colds, coughs and fevers in it. I have written them down." Then she took out two Yang Yuan Dan and gave them to her. "I made these myself. Mother-in-law, if you trust me, Grandpa and I will each take one. If Grandpa still coughs tomorrow, you can give him the cough medicine in the cabinet. We will go back first."
The old woman looked at the things in her hand, then hurriedly stood up and said, "Girl, wait a moment." Then she walked into the inner room and came out again with a small bundle in her hand. Tang Hua had already sensed what it was and wanted to refuse it but was stuffed into her arms.
Tang Hua was helpless and said, "Mother-in-law, you gave too much. These things can be exchanged for a lot of fine grains."
"This is worthless now, you take it"
Seeing her persistent look, he could only say, "Grandma, you eat these food first. I will bring you food next time I come. If I don't come, my two brothers will also bring you some food. Just put it in the cabinet. Don't worry, no one will know." After that, the brothers and sisters left.
The old woman nodded with emotion as she watched their backs gradually going away. This accident made her, a person half buried in the ground, understand that kind acts in life can often bring hope and warmth to people.
