The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

The Mr. Wang that the shop assistant found for us, aside from anything else, has really good professional ethics.

On the way, Li Kaixin saw that he was struggling to pull the cart and wanted to lend a hand to help him for a while, but Master Wang waved his hand and declined without thinking.

If it were any other boss, they would probably be hoping someone would help them out.

However, Li Kaixin still followed behind and helped push for a while.

As soon as the cart was pushed into courtyard number 94, Lu Chunhua, who was in the courtyard, immediately came up to help push the cart to the door of Li Kaixin's two rooms.

Zhu Xiaohua then strolled out of the house, saw the furniture being pulled on the cart, and began to mock, "Oh, whose house is this? You always look so well-off, how come you're so poor you can't even afford new furniture?"

"Zhu Xiaohua, who are you trying to imply here?" Lu Chunhua got angry as soon as she heard that.

Zhu Xiaohua rolled her eyes: "Lu Chunhua, I wasn't talking about you, why are you so upset!"

Lu Chunhua was so angry that she wanted to go forward and argue, but Li Kaixin raised her hand to stop her.

"Aunt Lu, let me do it." Li Kaixin turned to Zhu Xiaohua slowly, a smile on her face. "Aunt Zhu, I don't have much money left. But I still have to thank you for this."

He then pointed to the furniture on the cart: "These were all sponsored by your two hundred yuan! Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to buy furniture."

"You, you..." Zhu Xiaohua was so angry that she trembled and could barely speak.

The matter of those two hundred yuan felt like a knife stabbing into her heart; her anger flared up instantly, and she was about to rush forward and tear it apart.

"What, you want to hit me?" Li Kaixin's expression turned cold.

Zhu Xiaohua was startled by that look, and involuntarily took a few steps back, but still refused to back down: "Kid, you just wait!"

After saying that, he turned around and quickly ran back into the house, locking the door with a "bang".

Lu Chunhua spat in the direction of the Zhu family's house, her tone full of disdain: "Zhu Xiaohua, come out here! Weren't you so fierce just now? Why are you such a coward now?"

Li Kaixin felt a little regretful. He had just been planning to teach Zhu Xiaohua a lesson, but who knew she would run away so quickly.

Seeing that Zhu Xiaohua dared not come out again, Lu Chunhua withdrew her gaze, a smile on her face: "I'm so happy, you really have a way with words. You silenced her with just a few words. It makes me feel really good."

"It's nothing, not worth mentioning," Li Kaixin said with a modest smile.

Lu Chunhua then looked at the old furniture and asked with concern, "By the way, Kaixin, are you really short of money? Do you want me to lend you some?"

"No, no, I was just saying that on purpose because I was angry with Zhu Xiaohua," Li Kaixin quickly waved his hand.

Lu Chunhua was still somewhat suspicious: "Then what about these old furniture pieces you bought?"

"Isn't it because we were in a rush? Besides, the new furniture and the old furniture are the same to use," Li Kaixin explained with a smile.

Lu Chunhua was finally relieved.

Then, Li Kaixin turned to Master Wang, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, Master Wang, I've made you laugh."

"It's alright, comrade." Master Wang smiled憨厚ly and pointed to the door. "Are you moving these things into this room?"

"Yes, Master Wang, please wait a moment." Li Kaixin stepped forward and immediately opened the door.

With the help of several people, it didn't take long for them to move the square table, cabinets, stools and chairs into the house and set them up.

Li Kaixin first thanked Lu Chunhua sincerely. Then, he paid the market price for the cart ride and gave her extra money as an apology to Master Wang for what he had done earlier.

After the two of them left, it was already noon.

Li Kaixin ate at the state-run restaurant and then headed to the alley where he had arranged to meet Zhao Yu.

He arrived at the place early this time and began to disguise himself: he changed the clothes he wore in the morning to the ones he wore to the black market before, and he also changed his bicycle to one without a license plate.

Then, he covered his face with a hood and took out ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten rabbits from the secret realm, making a total of thirty.

After everything was ready, Li Kaixin waited quietly.

Although few people come here, people still pass by from time to time. Li Kaixin had no choice but to hide in the secret space along with his goods.

There's no way around it; to ordinary people, this outfit makes him look like a criminal.

After dodging two groups of passersby, Li Kaixin finally peeked out and saw two familiar figures walking towards him.

He walked straight out, lowering his voice to make it sound a little hoarse: "You two, were you introduced by my little brother?"

Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhengping were startled when they suddenly saw a masked man in broad daylight, but they realized what was going on after hearing what he said.

Zhao Zhengping composed himself and tentatively asked, "You were here this morning...?"

He stopped mid-sentence, realizing he didn't know the name of the person he'd traded with that morning. He turned to his nephew, his eyes questioning.

When Zhao Yu was looked at by his uncle, he was also a little flustered, as he didn't know the name either.

I heard it yesterday at a state-run restaurant, but it was too far away for me to hear clearly.

Li Kaixin spoke up at the opportune moment, breaking the awkward silence: "You're here to buy chickens, ducks, and rabbits, right?"

He knew exactly what the two wanted to ask, and that was why he had deliberately not left his name earlier.

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Zhengping quickly replied, then looked behind Li Kaixin. "May I ask how you should address me, brother? And where has your young friend gone? I haven't seen him."

"My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Xiaoqi," Li Kaixin replied in a gruff voice. "As for that young man, something came up and he can't make it."

As he spoke, he turned around and pushed his bicycle out of the alley.

The sight of chickens, ducks, and rabbits hanging all over the back seat immediately made Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhengping stare in disbelief.

They hadn't seen so many living creatures in years.

"How about it? You should be able to handle all of these, right?" Li Kaixin asked in a rough voice.

"You can handle it! You can handle it!" Zhao Zhengping snapped out of his shock and immediately became excited. "Brother Zhou, you really have the ability. Your little brother earlier wasn't exaggerating."

Zhao Yu also stepped forward, his eyes shining as he examined the chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

Immediately afterward, Zhao Zhengping cautiously asked, "Brother Zhou, are these prices based on the black market?"

Li Kaixin shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhengping's smile froze instantly.

Then, Li Kaixin said unhurriedly, "This time you took a lot, so I'll give you a dollar off each one."

"Brother Zhou, are you serious?" Zhao Zhengping's expression instantly brightened, his tone revealing disbelief and surprise.

He initially thought the other party was going to try and raise the price.

Li Kaixin smiled and said, "Of course. The more you buy, the more favorable the price I'll give you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengping was a little curious: "Brother Zhou, what's the most you can take at once?"

"If we do it all together, five or six hundred a week shouldn't be a problem," Li Kaixin said casually, then countered, "What, you want to buy them all?"

"No, no, I was just asking."

Zhao Zhengping was secretly astonished by this number.
