My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

After several days of setbacks, Section Chief Zhu had lost hope and was even thinking of not coming tonight.

Unexpectedly, we actually encountered a big fish today!

Looks like coming today was the right decision!

"Come on! Show me your expertise?"

Section Chief Zhu followed behind Lin Chuan and quickly arrived at the cart.

Seeing the two approaching suddenly startled Guan Daya, she took several steps back until she saw Lin Chuan clearly, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chuan readily lifted a corner of the tattered cloth and then shone it with the dim light of a flashlight.

As the lights came on, the frozen pork on the cart came into view.

Especially that very thick layer of snow-white fat, under the flashlight, it was even more dazzling than gold!

In this era of food scarcity, especially with the recent famine, these things are simply priceless treasures in the eyes of ordinary people!

"Wow~ Good heavens, this is some good stuff! It must be meat from a wild boar king that weighs over 400 pounds, right?!"

Upon seeing this, Section Chief Zhu gasped and subconsciously swallowed.

But then, Section Chief Zhu immediately stopped smiling.

"Ahem, young man, wild boar meat is quite dry, and there's not enough fat."

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then casually flipped open a slit, revealing the white meat inside the pork.

In this day and age, everyone is starving.

Therefore, people now specifically choose to buy fatty cuts of meat, presumably because lean meat was cheaper than fatty meat before.

"In that case, let's forget about it and find someone else who is meant to be with us."

As he spoke, Lin Chuan immediately covered the rag with it.

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhu was stunned for a moment.

He originally wanted to negotiate the price, but he didn't expect this young man to play by his own rules!

Seeing Lin Chuan's attitude, he dared not act arrogantly anymore.

"Hey, hey, young man, I want all of this stuff. The supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price is 73 cents a pound, but I'll raise it for you, 90 cents a pound! That's 180 yuan in total. You've never seen so much money in your life, have you?"

Guan Daya, who was listening nearby, felt her heart skip a beat!

This amount of meat, costing 180 yuan, is indeed quite a lot.

But after hearing the second half of that person's sentence, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

If you sell it like this, 180 yuan is indeed quite a lot.

However, this doesn't mean that 180 yuan is a large number!

After all, Guan Hongying gives each child five yuan of pocket money every month.

There are five children in the family now, and that's twenty-five yuan a month.

"Section Chief Zhu, right? Your scheme is so well-planned, I can practically hear the sound of it coming right out of this dead end."

Lin Chuan carefully covered the tattered cloths again, his tone turning cold.

"The supply and marketing cooperative charges prices for buying pigs, but this is wild boar, 200 jin (100 kg) of meat, no receipts required, top-quality meat! If you take this back to the factory, how much face will it give the leaders?!"

"You think you can buy all this meat for nine cents? Come on, lady! Let's go to the back gate of the textile factory next door. I heard their manager is buying up meat at high prices everywhere!"

As he spoke, Lin Chuan made a move to push the cart away.

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother! Don't rush!" Section Chief Zhu panicked upon hearing "textile factory," grabbing the cart and yelling, "You're asking for an exorbitant price, let's haggle! Tell me, how much do you want?"

Lin Chuan stopped and then held up one finger.

"One dollar and twenty cents a pound. It's not just about the money. I also need fifty pounds of nationally valid grain coupons, thirty feet of cloth coupons, plus two pounds of cotton coupons. If you're missing any of these, then there's no point in talking."

Upon hearing this, even Da Ya gasped in shock and hurriedly tugged at Lin Chuan's sleeve.

One dollar and two jiao?

Do you need so many precious receipts?!

This is outrageous!

What if I scare people away?

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhu was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Hey young man, you're robbing me! I might accept 1.2 yuan, but don't you know how precious those national grain coupons and cloth coupons are? Where am I supposed to get you fifty jin? Thirty jin at most! I don't have any cloth coupons!"

"Fifty catties, not a single ounce less, or I won't sell!"

Lin Chuan did not back down, staring at him sharply.

"Section Chief Zhu, that's not how you do things. With the mountains blocked by heavy snow, if you miss out on my two hundred pounds of meat, the entire factory workers will starve during the New Year. How can you, as the section chief, keep your job? A few receipts for your official hat, you've made a killing."

Very good, as soon as these words were spoken, Section Chief Zhu's psychological defenses were completely broken!

His expression changed instantly, then he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh hard.

"Damn it! It's a deal! You're ruthless, kid! I'll consider you a friend now!"

As he spoke, Section Chief Zhu took out a brown paper envelope from the inside pocket of his military overcoat, then counted out two hundred and forty brand-new RMB notes. He then counted out a handful of colorful grain coupons and cloth coupons, and reluctantly handed them to Lin Chuan.

Judging from his expression, he had indeed been ripped out.

"Cash and goods settled."

Lin Chuan chuckled, then snatched the money and bills without even looking at them, and stuffed them directly into Daya's arms.

When that thick wad of money and receipts was stuffed into her arms, Da Ya was completely stunned.

What, what's going on?

In just a few words, in the blink of an eye...

He suddenly had two hundred and forty yuan in his arms!

There are still fifty jin of grain coupons left!

She clutched the wad of bills tightly, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock as she looked at the young man who had calmly and effortlessly extracted a large sum of money from a cadre with just a few words.

How did they do that?!

She hadn't even realized what was happening yet!

You made money already?!

"Xiao Chuan...we...we're rich..."

Daya quickly packed away the colorful banknotes and receipts in her arms, her voice somewhat unsteady.

Lin Chuan chuckled and was about to turn around to comfort her when he heard an extremely piercing whistle coming from the alley entrance!

"drop--!!!"

"Don't move! Routine inspection! Catch those who engage in speculation and profiteering, don't let a single one escape!!"

A loud roar came from the other side, followed by the blinding beams of more than a dozen flashlights, which immediately shattered the silence of the black market!

A large group of burly men wearing red armbands stormed in menacingly.

This caused the previously quiet black market to erupt in chaos!

For a moment, the crowd scurried around like rats crossing the street.

Even Section Chief Zhu, who had just been there, disregarded everything else and pushed the meat towards the hidden door.

"Young man! I'll return the cart to you another time!"

Guan Daya had never seen anything like this before.

Her once gentle and kind oval face, which had even turned red with excitement, turned deathly pale in an instant.

Upon seeing that group of red armband-wearing women, her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she froze on the spot, with only one thought in her mind.

"...It's over...!!"
