A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

【My dear, your brother has almost fully recovered.】

He's just a bit introverted!

[It's simply a matter of focusing on what you're doing.]

Sensing the little girl's disappointment, Xiao Lü sighed and offered words of comfort.

Nuannuan thought for a moment, then ran over with her short legs, tapped her little hand on Da'an's hand, and a stream of spiritual energy entered it.

Da'an's body trembled, his dull gaze cleared for a moment, then he threw down the screwdriver, grabbed a piece of steamed rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling indistinctly, "For...for my sister to hear."

"I can't listen to it all, big brother."

Nuan Nuan hugged the radio, which was bigger than her face, her little face scrunched up like a bun. "Nuan Nuan only has two ears, she can't listen to both radios."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

Yes, there are two.

Gu Jianguo's mind started racing. This thing was a potential source of trouble if it were kept at home. If people found out that they had two such large items, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause.

Even if Zhang Aidi goes to jail, there are still many people in the village who are envious.

"Xiulan, why don't we just sell it?"

Gu Jianguo gritted his teeth, patted the new one, and said, "We can keep the old one for now, but this new one... can fetch a lot of money."

At least a few dozen yuan is enough for the whole family to eat their fill for a year, and it can also buy books for Xiao An and treat Da An's illness.

Su Xiulan was also having the same idea in mind.

The family was dirt poor; if this money could be exchanged for cash and tickets, that would give them real confidence.

"This stuff...is hard to sell."

Su Xiulan frowned and paced around the room twice. "Going to the supply and marketing cooperative is definitely out of the question; that's speculation and profiteering. The only option is... the black market in town."

When the word "black market" was mentioned, Su Xiulan lowered her voice even further, as if afraid that someone might overhear her.

"Wow!"

Xiao An suddenly sat up, aggravating the wound on his back, causing him to grimace in pain, but he didn't utter a sound. "Mom, I'm a boy, I'll go sell him! If I get caught, I'll say I found him!"

"Nonsense!"

Su Xiulan slapped Xiao An on the forehead, not using much force, "How old are you? That place is a mixed bag, you'll be sold out and still have to count the money for the seller! Besides, with all these injuries, you'll collapse halfway there."

"But Dad's legs aren't good, and my older brother doesn't know anything about this..." Xiao An said anxiously, her face turning red.

"I'll go."

Su Xiulan made her decision decisively, untied her apron, and her eyes hardened. "At my age, what haven't I seen? I'll just say I'm visiting relatives, pack the things in my bundle, and who knows what they are?"

Gu Jianguo clenched his fist and slammed it against his thigh, hating his legs for being so useless, leaving his wife to take the lead in any trouble.

"Mom, take Nuannuan with you..."

A soft little hand hugged Su Xiulan's thigh.

Nuannuan tilted her little face up, her big eyes blinking mischievously. "Nuannuan has a magic bag! If you put something here with Nuannuan, no one can find it! Even that fierce uncle can't find it!"

Su Xiulan was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

Yes!

Yesterday, the inspection team turned the house upside down but couldn't find anything. It was all thanks to my daughter's magical space.

If you bring Nuannuan along, even if you encounter a red armband, you can just put the radio into your space and they'll just be a mother and daughter visiting relatives. Who can do anything to them?

This is simply a match made in heaven!

"Okay, take Nuan with you." Su Xiulan picked up her daughter and kissed her chubby face. "Our Nuannuan is a little lucky star. Mom is counting on you to protect her."

Nuannuan giggled and puffed out her little chest.

[Little Green, you have work to do again!]

Inside the space, Little Green, who was dancing while holding half a ginseng root, shivered.

[I am the divine herb! Not a mere porter!]

I want to eat meat! Big meat buns!

Okay, warm baby.

……

The next day, before dawn, Su Xiulan got up to cook, then wrapped Nuannuan tightly in a thick cotton-padded coat she had been saving at the bottom of her trunk, and then put a red scarf around her neck, revealing only a pair of bright black eyes. The repaired radio had long since been stored away in Nuannuan's spatial storage.

Su Xiulan used an empty basket filled with some hay on her back as cover, and prepared to set off with Nuannuan.

Gu Jianguo propped himself up and watched them until they reached the courtyard gate: "Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, you can take good care of the house."

Su Xiulan pulled her headscarf tighter and led Nuannuan into the snow, one step at a time.

As soon as we reached the big locust tree at the village entrance, we heard Sister Hongxia's loud voice: "Hey, Xiulan, where are you going so early in the morning?"

She was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket, carrying a basket, her face red from the cold, and she was stamping her feet to warm them up.

Su Xiulan's heart skipped a beat, but she smiled and said, "Going to town to see if I can get some needles and thread. Are you going to town too, sister-in-law?"

"Absolutely!"

Sister-in-law Hongxia leaned over and whispered, "I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative got a batch of substandard cloth that doesn't require ration coupons today. I'm going to try my luck and get some cloth to make clothes for the child."

These days, everyone keeps secrets. The fact that Sister Hongxia was willing to speak out shows that she truly doesn't consider Su Xiulan an outsider.

"That's perfect, let's team up."

Su Xiulan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked together, Nuannuan holding Su Xiulan's hand, occasionally kicking the snow on the roadside.

Hongxia's sister-in-law was a chatterbox, going on and on the way.

"You wouldn't believe it, the day Zhang Aidi was taken away, Old Lady Gu was crying at home, saying that the inspection team had stolen her savings for her funeral, and she was even rolling around in the yard! Tell me, isn't that old woman shameful?"

Su Xiulan sneered, "She's worried about the money, not her daughter-in-law."

"Who says otherwise? I used to think that old lady was nice to the second son's wife, but now I see, it was all a lie. Last time their family lost money and things, and this time the inspection team confiscated them again. The old lady is really angry; she's still groaning on the bed." Sister-in-law Hongxia said with great satisfaction, "That's karma!"

Su Xiulan laughed and said, "If you ask me, this old lady is the one who...whoever she marries will be unlucky."

Sister-in-law Hongxia covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's right. Luckily, she went to live with the second son's family, otherwise..."

Now that I think about it, things have gotten better for the third son's family since the old lady left. On the contrary, the second son's family has been incredibly unlucky.

As Nuan Nuan listened to the two chatting, she began to have some doubts.

[Hmph, that mean grandma deserves it!]

Little Green yawned.

[She kicked out all the lucky stars; if she's not unlucky, who is?]

Nuannuan was satisfied; she felt like a little lucky star.

The two were chatting about everyday things when they suddenly heard the roar of a motor.

The mountain path was quiet at the moment, and the sudden sound startled people.

"What's that noise?" Sister Hongxia craned her neck and looked around, only to see a car speeding towards them, kicking up snowflakes, on the white snow track not far away.
