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

Everyone was cautious in the black market, and most people were looking for buyers on their own.

Some people intentionally show a little bit of what they are wearing so that others can know what they are carrying.

Of course, most of it consists of food and clothing, with relatively little else.

Nuannuan's two eyes darted around, scanning like little radars.

"Mom! That uncle!"

Su Xiulan was looking for a buyer, but couldn't find anyone who seemed interested in buying a radio, when she heard her daughter shout.

Su Xiulan followed her daughter's hand and saw a somewhat familiar person wearing leather shoes.

Isn't this the same man in leather shoes who bought the radio last time?

They were quite generous and offered a high price of 130 yuan, plus a ticket.

Why is he here again? I wonder if he'll still want the radio this time.

Su Xiulan led the child over, and the man in leather shoes noticed her, looked up, and his eyes lit up with joy.

"Hey, young lady, what are you planning to sell today?"

The man got straight to the point. Su Xiulan smiled and turned to rummage through her basket.

It was at this moment that Nuannuan reached into the basket and put down the radio inside.

The radio was wrapped in cloth, and Su Xiulan took it out directly, revealing only a corner.

The man in leather shoes had gleaming eyes. "Hey, young lady, where did you get this from? You managed to get another one!"

"The last one was of absolutely great quality! The sound was incredibly clear."

Su Xiulan smiled and whispered, "Big brother, this one is the same quality, do you want it?"

The man in leather shoes immediately spoke up, "Yes, but I might not have enough money with me, only 120 yuan! Can I give you a few more tickets?"

Su Xiulan really wanted the coupons. There were so many people in her family, and they all needed to eat. They couldn't do without food coupons.

"That's even better!"

"Young lady, this isn't our first time doing business together. I won't take advantage of you. Here, I'll give you forty jin of grain coupons, plus one hundred and twenty yuan. How about that?"

Su Xiulan was extremely satisfied with the price, and the two quickly finalized the deal.

After receiving the money and tickets, Su Xiulan casually asked, "Brother, you seem like a capable person. I was wondering if you'd like a radio?"

The man in leather shoes was stunned. "What did you just say?"

"A tape recorder? You actually managed to get your hands on a tape recorder?"

Su Xiulan nodded. "My tape recorder works too."

The man in leather shoes was now genuinely interested.

He told Da'an to put the things down, opened them and took a look. The machine was very new and well-maintained.

"How much is this?"

"Three hundred." Su Xiulan felt guilty after quoting the price.

The man in leather shoes shook his head. "Too expensive."

Although he is a leader, three hundred yuan is almost half a year's salary for him, not to mention that this thing is not very useful.

He picked up the radio, nodded to Su Xiulan, and then turned and left.

Seeing a big deal fall through, Su Xiulan felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Nuannuan pouted and muttered softly, "The big box is too expensive; the people here don't know its value."

The family continued walking out, and Su Xiulan thought to herself that she would have to find another way to get rid of the tape recorder.

I passed by a seed stall. The stall owner had several small burlap sacks in front of him, filled with all sorts of dark seeds.

Nuannuan's eyes lit up instantly.

[Little green things! They're seeds! So many kinds of seeds!]

The ginseng spirit, Little Green, lazily shook its leaves in the space: [I see it! I see it! I need to buy it right away! I'm going to clear land and build a huge vegetable garden!]

Since I've already planted it once, I'm quite familiar with the process, and now Little Green doesn't even bother to argue.

Nuannuan immediately tugged at Su Xiulan's sleeve, pointed at the seeds, and pleaded in her childish voice, "Mommy, buy seeds! Nuannuan wants to plant lots and lots of vegetables!"

Su Xiulan wanted them all; she could grow them herself in the spring.

There's plenty of wasteland outside where they live now; they just need to tell the brigade leader and start planting.

After buying the seeds, the family didn't dare to delay any longer and quickened their pace toward the alley entrance.

Just as they were about to walk out of the alley and see the main road outside, several burly men suddenly jumped out and blocked the road completely.

The one leading them was the same bald guy we encountered last time!

That bald head was particularly conspicuous in the dead of winter.

"Hey, I've finally got the guy I've been waiting for!" The bald man rubbed his hands together, his eyes greedily scanning Su Xiulan and the children.

Su Xiulan's face turned pale instantly, and she subconsciously hid Nuannuan behind her back.

"Run!" she shouted at Da'an and Xiao'an.

But it was too late. Several burly men surrounded them, their faces full of ill intent.

"Run? Where do you think you're going?" the bald man grinned maliciously. "Nobody's leaving without the money!"

Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, Su Xiulan's heart was in her throat.

Just then, Xiao An stepped forward and shielded the mother and daughter behind him.

Xiao An clenched his fist and grinned at Su Xiulan.

"Mom, don't be afraid. I can take on ten of them now. Let's test them out!"

Su Xiulan was almost in tears. This child, just because she's a little stronger, doesn't she know her place? The other side is five or six adult men!

The bald man was amused by Xiao An's appearance. Pointing at Xiao An's skinny frame, he laughed loudly to his henchmen, "Hahaha! Did you hear that? This little chick says he can take on ten!"

"Where did this little brat come from? Have you been weaned yet?"

The thugs laughed so hard they almost fell over.

The bald man finished laughing, his face darkening. He walked towards Xiao An. "Kid, get out of the way if you don't want a beating! I'm in a good mood today, I only want money, not your lives!"

He reached out to push Xiao An.

But before his hand could even touch the person, it froze in mid-air.

"Waaaah, Second Brother's going to teach the bad guy a lesson!"

"Go, second brother! Nuannuan is cheering you on!"

Nuan Nuan knew that these people were no match for her second brother. Besides, if her second brother couldn't beat them, he could just release the little snake.

The little girl peeked her head out from Su Xiulan's arms, her delicate, fair face as round and tender as a freshly baked bun.

Those big, black, grape-like eyes stared excitedly at the bald man and his companion.

The bald man was stunned!

I was so shocked I almost peed my pants!

Be nice!

Where did this little baby come from?!

Why does she look like that weird little girl from last time?

The bald man felt a chill rush straight to the top of his head, and his calves felt like they were spinning.

Thinking back to the last robbery, Baldy was on the verge of tears!

Not only did the little girl steal all his money and banknotes, but she also took away all his clothes.

In the end, they were all running around outside in just their shorts in the dead of winter, and many people thought they were crazy!

His illustrious reputation was ruined in an instant!

But do you think this is the worst?

Of course not! I don't know if it's because the last time was so terrible, but ever since that day, Baldy has felt like he's been incredibly unlucky!

I can trip and fall even on flat ground when I go out, and I even knocked out two of my front teeth.

I almost choked to death after drinking a sip of cold water!

Even worse, one time when I went to the outhouse, I was stung on the butt by a wasp in the dead of winter! It hurt so much that I didn't dare to sit down for several days!

There are wasps in the dead of winter!

Tell me, isn't this outrageous?

I went out for a couple of rounds of gaming and almost lost everything, including my underwear.

That's a piece of cake!
