Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 138 Tracking
After hearing what everyone said, Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui were so angry that they almost died.

These nagging old ladies, besides gossiping, don't even understand other people's expressions. Zhou Mei felt that when she looked at Tao Qiuyi, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but these people didn't understand such obvious hints.

Stupid, so stupid.

She wanted to tell everyone calmly that Tao Qiuyi was the thief who stole their money and tickets, but no one thought in that direction at all.

They were even concerned about whether Tao Qiuyi's money and tickets had been stolen, which made Zhou Mei so angry that she wanted to spit blood at them to death.

Zhou Mei winked at Li Yuegui, and Li Yuegui immediately understood.

"Qiuyi..." Li Yuegui reached out to pull Tao Qiuyi's hand, but Tao Qiuyi dodged sideways, and the words she wanted to say were stuck.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the ox cart is coming." Someone shouted, and everyone looked in the direction where the ox cart was coming. Sure enough, they saw Uncle Li driving the ox cart slowly towards them.

Everyone climbed onto the ox cart. The first people who climbed up were surprised to see Tao Qiuyi sitting steadily on the long bench with the backpack she was carrying on the ground.

"How did you climb up here?" The young daughter-in-law squeezed in and sat down next to her.

"I jumped up." Tao Qiuyi answered calmly, then closed his eyes and dozed off.

The other person's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to talk to her, and the young daughter-in-law was very considerate and stopped disturbing her.

The ox cart arrived at the town and everyone got off and dispersed.

Seeing that it was still early, Tao Qiuyi found a deserted place, entered the ring space, disguised herself as a middle-aged woman, and went to the black market to sell some mushrooms and fungus that she had picked up while picking herbs.

Then I went to the staff quarters of the meat processing plant to find my elder sister. I was lucky today because she was making shoe soles and chatting with someone under a big tree at the entrance of the staff quarters.

"Sister, you finally come to see me." When the elder sister saw Tao Qiuyi, she rushed over enthusiastically.

Tao Qiuyi was frightened by the elder sister's enthusiasm. She dodged the elder sister who was rushing towards her by moving sideways, and at the same time held the elder sister's arm to prevent her from falling.

"Sister, stand still. I'm letting go." Tao Qiuyi reminded her and then let go of her elder sister's arm.

The eldest sister said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm so happy to see you suddenly."

"I'm happy to see my elder sister too," said Tao Qiuyi.

Hearing her say this, the eldest sister became even happier and couldn't stop smiling. Someone asked the eldest sister whose daughter this was, and the eldest sister said it was hers, and then took Tao Qiuyi to her home.

"Sister, I came to you today to ask you to buy me more meat." Tao Qiuyi followed her elder sister in while explaining her purpose.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for you to come and see me. Go to my house and have a cup of tea first, then I'll take you to find my son." The eldest sister agreed with a smile.

Tao Qiuyi said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister. I will take the village ox cart back soon."

"Ah!" The eldest sister stopped and looked at Tao Qiuyi with some disappointment, "You're in a hurry to leave again! Can't you sit down and have a good chat with me?"

"I have something to do at home." Tao Qiuyi smiled apologetically.

"Then let's not go to eldest sister's house. Let's go to the meat processing plant to find my son." The eldest sister was a straightforward person. She pulled her and turned to go to the meat processing plant.

"Big sister." Tao Qiuyi stood in place, put down the backpack and pushed it in front of the big sister, "Inside it are some local specialties I brought for you, big sister. I hope you don't dislike it." "No, no, how could I dislike it, big sister." The big sister hugged the backpack with a smile and walked quickly towards her home.

Soon the elder sister came back. Seeing that no one was around, she handed Tao Qiuyi a five-yuan bill and said in a low voice, "This is the money to buy the pheasant. Sister Mu'er, just think of it as a gift from you."

"Sister, these pheasant and fungus are for you. No money required." Tao Qiuyi refused to accept the money and pushed her hand back. "Put them away quickly. It's not good if someone sees them."

The elder sister wanted to persuade Tao Qiuyi to accept the money, but seeing her determined expression, she gave up. She handed her the backpack and whispered, "Sister, I won't be polite with you anymore."

"I brought you something, it's not worth much, but it's better not to be polite to my elder sister."

Tao Qiuyi lifted the cloth covering the backpack and saw a box of biscuits and a bag of fruit candy inside.

"Thank you, big sister." After saying thank you, Tao Qiuyi put on the backpack and went to the meat processing plant with his big sister.

This time, Tao Qiuyi bought more than last time, three pounds of fat, four pig feet, five pounds of pork belly, twenty pounds of pork legs, one pig liver, and two pig hearts.

Seeing her buy so much meat, the elder sister couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister, are you buying this meat to eat at home, or are you buying it for someone else's family?"

"There's something going on at home, and we need more meat." This was the excuse Tao Qiuyi had thought of before coming.

She didn't dare say that all the food was eaten at home, for fear of scaring her elder sister.

The eldest sister nodded to show her understanding, and the two chatted for a while before parting.

After saying goodbye to her elder sister, Tao Qiuyi found a deserted alley and went into the ring space to change clothes. She only left four pig's feet and three pounds of pork belly in the backpack, and left everything else in the ring space.

Tao Qiuyi walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative with a backpack on her back. As she walked, she keenly noticed that the three men in front of her were acting suspiciously, as if they were following someone.

At a corner ahead, Tao Qiuyi saw two female comrades talking and laughing, and they were unaware that there were three people following them.

With a slight smile on her lips, Tao Qiuyi snorted. It was true that no matter what period it was, when female comrades went out, they would inevitably be targeted by some people with bad intentions.

Watching the few people walk into a small alley, Tao Qiuyi followed them slowly.

"You... who are you? Why are you following us?" A woman's voice was heard from inside. It seemed that the two female comrades had discovered that they were being followed.

Tao Qiuyi walked into the alley and saw three little thugs surrounding two female comrades. The two female comrades were so scared that their faces turned pale and they were shaking all over, but they still pretended to be calm.

The woman in the blue woolen coat pulled money out of her cloth bag and said, "You want money, don't you? I have thirty yuan here, along with some canned fruit and malted milk I just bought. I'll give them all to you. Will you let us go?"

"I... I also have... some money here, I'll give it all... to you." The female comrade in the flowery jacket followed up, then frantically rummaged through her jacket pockets.

Her trembling and stammering voice and her disorganized movements revealed her fear.

"Sisters, don't be afraid. We brothers just saw that you two were lonely walking and wanted to talk to you." The leading gangster grabbed the thirty yuan and stuffed it into his pocket.

He then grabbed the net bag containing canned fruit and malted milk and threw it to the younger brother next to him, staring at the two female comrades with a smile.

"Boss, money, money." A dwarf next to him saw the money and his eyes lit up with excitement.
