A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

After seeing the old lady off, Lin Yinyin began her "sweeping mode".

If they saw someone selling flour, they'd buy it all; if they saw someone selling eggs, they'd take the whole basket; if they saw hanging cured meat, they'd buy it all without even asking the price. And all the mushrooms and wood ear fungus would be packed up and taken away.

She wandered among the various vendors until she reached the end of the alley and spotted a man squatting on the ground.

A row of aluminum lunch boxes sat in front of him, some of them scratched and clearly defective.

Lin Yinyin's eyes lit up; she could use it to portion out the food!

"Comrade, how many of these lunchboxes do you have?"

The man glanced up at her and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Do you have 50?"

The man was stunned. Where would he get so many?

"I only have 20. Although they have some flaws, the quality is fine."

"I want all 20!"

Lin Yinyin paid the money readily and also bought 100 jin of potatoes, 100 salted duck eggs, a sack of dried bamboo shoots, 20 jin of fruit candy, 5 jin of brown sugar, and 10 jin of white sugar.

When she stopped, she had only 80 yuan left out of the 343 yuan.

She reluctantly stopped; she needed to keep 80 as a reserve. The things in her spatial storage were enough to feed her for a long time; she should stop while she was ahead!

As she passed the tea egg stall at the alley entrance, her legs gave way again. She wanted to buy ten more—no! Twenty more! They wouldn't spoil if she couldn't finish them all, right?

Just as she was hesitating, she was suddenly bumped into from the side.

Lin Yinyin reacted faster than a cat, her hand darting to her pocket.

broken!

The one yuan in my pocket is gone!

That's 10 tea eggs!

She immediately lost her temper!

"A dead man's penis is pointing to the sky. If she doesn't chase him down and kill him today, she's not Lin Yinyin!"

Chase!

Unbeknownst to Lin Yinyin, she was being watched while she was "sweeping through" the black market.

The thief didn't know that this "fat sheep" only had one yuan, and he ran eight miles away.

The thief ran for five blocks, and Lin Yinyin followed for five blocks.

The thief sneaked into six alleys, and she blocked all six alleys.

The thief climbed over seven low walls, and she followed suit, climbing over seven walls as well.

Lin Yinyin only stopped when the thief was so tired that his tongue was almost sticking out.

On the one hand, she was exhausted, and on the other hand, she belatedly realized that what if this thief wasn't a "lone wolf" and had a larger gang behind him?

She might be able to follow the clues and uncover something big!

With a quick glance around, Lin Yinyin slowed her pace and secretly followed the thief.

Sure enough, when the thief saw that Lin Yinyin had stopped chasing him, he turned a couple of corners and approached a man wearing bell-bottoms.

"Brother Shan, everyone said a rich and powerful woman came to the black market, but who knew she was a penniless wretch, that's all she has!"

The thief, clutching the one yuan, his face contorted in a grimace, exclaimed, "I almost died running for this one yuan! That's fucking ruthless!"

"Tch! Useless piece of trash!" The man called Brother Shan said with a look of disdain.

"What can one dollar do? It's not even enough for me to buy two packs of cigarettes!" he said, throwing the money at the skinny monkey's face.

"Let's go find the boss, he landed a big order!"

Lin Yinyin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Wow, she had really met a "big shot"!

She quickly crouched down and followed, winding her way to a courtyard.

She quietly climbed over the wall and peeked inside. "Wow!" There were more than twenty people crammed into the courtyard.

These people stood in two groups: one group was dressed like butterflies, with bell-bottoms and floral shirts, carrying wooden sticks in their hands, looking smug, like black market thugs.

Another group of people, dressed in dark clothes and with stern faces, stood around a bearded man and didn't look like good people at all.

But why did that man in the big red floral shirt look so familiar? He was darker-skinned, had messier hair, and more red spots on his face than the one she knew.

Before Lin Yinyin could even identify it, she heard the leader of the black market thugs say, "Boss Ke, your stuff is too conspicuous, and Leng Zi is keeping a close eye on it, so we can't get it out."

Boss Ke's face darkened. "Old Du, you guys patted your chests and said you could help dispose of the stolen goods, but now that things are getting tense, you can't get them out? You can buy them and sell them slowly."

Old Du spread his hands: "Boss Ke, you guys made too much of a commotion, even daring to kill Leng Zi. And this guy exceeded expectations; such a large sum of money, I couldn't afford it even if I took out all my savings!"

Boss Ke's eyes were icy. "I've been in this business for decades. If word gets out that you, Lao Du, are inconsistent in your words and actions, who will dare to cooperate with you in the future?"

Boss Du was equally defiant. He waved his hand, and a dozen thugs immediately stepped forward. "Boss Ke, don't try to threaten me! I, Old Du, am not easily intimidated! Your shipment has attracted trouble, and you still expect me to take responsibility? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

The two sides immediately became tense and were about to fight.

Boss Ke took a deep breath and stepped back half a step: "If all else fails, you can ship the goods to the Southern Province!"

I have connections over there, and I'll smuggle them in by sea. The value will increase several times over, and you'll definitely get a cut!

Hearing this from above the wall, Lin Yinyin felt a surge of warmth in her heart. The tomb raiders' goods!

She wanted ill-gotten gains.

But she was all alone, while the other side had more than twenty people. She couldn't show her anything online, nor could she knock people on the head. What was she supposed to do?

"Got it."

Lin Yinyin quietly slid down from the wall, went around to the gate, and then kicked the gate open with a "bang".

She gasped for breath, calling out anxiously, "Brother Monkey! I've finally found you! I spotted Leng Zi at the black market just now; he looks like he's heading this way!"

Her eyes were urgent, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Go! Go now!"

Monkey King was already startled by the sudden noise, and when he turned around and saw that it was Lin Yinyin, his face turned pale instantly.

Isn't this the fierce girl who chased him for eight miles for just one yuan?

How did she end up here?

It happened right there at the scene of his big brother's negotiations!

It's over! He's finished!

Skinny Monkey frantically reached into his pocket. He figured this girl was definitely up to something because of that one yuan, so he figured he could just give her ten yuan.

So, the skinny guy quickly pulled out some money and handed it to Lin Yinyin, "Big...big sister!"

"Thank you so much! Take this money and buy some candy. You go ahead and do something else; I have something extremely important to do!"

Lin Yinyin smiled and took the money, but deliberately raised her voice a few decibels: "Brother Monkey, I've taken the money, but what about the other goods you promised me?"

I specifically found two buyers, and they said they'd pay this price for your "good stuff"!

As he spoke, he made a five-point gesture and deliberately glanced into the room.

The skinny monkey was even more confused, his mind filled with question marks.

Goods? What goods?

What buyer? He knows nothing about it!

He'd never been very bright, and now he was even more at a loss for words, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Little sister, you've got it wrong."

"No... there's not much stock. You should go now. If you really need anything, I'll come find you later."

He thought to himself, "This young lady should hurry up and leave. If she wants to buy anything, I can just find it for her separately later!"

But when these words were heard by others, they took on a completely different meaning!

Especially Boss Ke, who already suspected that Lao Du wanted to betray him, and now that he saw that Lao Du's men had already planned to ship the goods, how could he hold back?

"Du Aiguo, you don't want to buy, but you plan to ship the goods anyway. Are you trying to double-cross me?!"

Old Du was also completely bewildered. Who was this dark-skinned girl?
