Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 64 - 63 Two Silly Girls
64: Chapter 63 Two Silly Girls
64 -63 Two Silly Girls
Wang Shumei nearly had her soul scared out of her when she climbed over the Educated Youth Corps’ wall.
Lin Nianhe had moved a small bench to sit at the entrance, hands propping up her cheeks, staring intently at her.
Wang Shumei gritted her teeth and walked up to her, whispering a complaint: “Why aren’t you sleeping?
You scared the life out of me!”
She was scared into a cold sweat.
Had she not thought about the money in her pocket and the need not to alarm others, she would have shouted loud enough to wake the whole village.
Lin Nianhe stood up: “Waiting for you.”
Wang Shumei was taken aback, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
She thought of her own little Xiaoxiao.
That girl would also wait for her at the door when she returned late.
Sometimes it was so late that Xiaoxiao would fall asleep waiting, and it was Damin who carried her back to the room.
Wang Shumei couldn’t resist and pinched Lin Nianhe’s cheek.
“I’m fine, my brother brought me back.
From now on, you should sleep—they’re nothing to be afraid of, don’t worry about me.”
‘Sis is okay, big brother brought me back, you should sleep from now on, don’t be scared, no need to worry about your sister.’
Wang Shumei didn’t know how many times she had said similar things, but now saying them to Lin Nianhe, it surprisingly didn’t feel out of place.
Lin Nianhe brushed off her hand, her disdain apparent: “Your hand’s dirty, and you still pinch my cheek—I just washed my face.”
Wang Shumei: “…”
She must be crazy.
How could this girl be like her Xiaoxiao?
Xiaoxiao would never mind the dirt on her hands; she would simply wriggle closer to snuggle in her arms.
Lin Nianhe had no idea she was thinking of her sister, and with a yawn, said, “It’s good you’re back.
I boiled some water for you.
Wash up here before you go back.”
With that, she pushed the door open.
Inside the kitchen, water boiled in a large iron pot, a candle was lit next to the stove, and a wooden basin along with soap and a towel were placed to the side.
Wang Shumei suppressed a smile, followed her into the house, and after securely closing the door, she gestured for Lin Nianhe to come over: “Come here.”
“Hm?”
Lin Nianhe looked at her puzzled: “What’s up?”
Wang Shumei handed the eighty banknotes of ‘Da Tuan Jie’ that she had separated out in the morning to Lin Nianhe, telling her: “My brother didn’t bring a scale, so he asked me to tell you that he’ll make up for the excess next time.”
Lin Nianhe held the thick stack of money, somewhat bewildered.
She really did not expect to get the money today.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Shumei added softly: “Don’t worry, my brother is very tight-lipped.
Even if he got caught, the matter would end with him—he definitely wouldn’t rat you out.”
Qian Guozhu and she had an unspoken understanding—
Take the fall alone, and in return, take care of the family for me.
They never articulated it, but they understood each other’s intentions well.
Lin Nianhe looked at Wang Shumei and, after a moment of silence, nodded: “Okay, you go bathe first.
We can talk about the rest after this sale.”
“Alright.”
Wang Shumei washed up quietly at Lin Nianhe’s place and then tiptoed back to the front courtyard.
Wen Lan had no idea her bed had been empty for most of the night.
Wang Shumei had earlier lubricated their room door with oil, eliminating the annoying squeak when opening or closing it, so she wouldn’t disturb others.
She got this idea from seeing Lin Nianhe opening and closing the door two nights ago.
Wang Shumei slipped out of her clothes and into the bed, and in the dark, she counted the fifty yuan over and over again.
She simply couldn’t fall asleep.
Lin Nianhe wasn’t asleep either.
After counting the money once, she placed it into a small wooden box in her space, designated for storing money.
When she came down to the countryside, Comrade Old Lin had given all his private savings—423 yuan, Lin’s uncle gave her four hundred, and Aunt Lin gave her one hundred.
After getting here, she had sporadically spent a little over fifty, and now, another eight hundred was added.
After three nights of hustling, she made eight hundred yuan.
It felt so easy, almost like a dream.
She held the small wooden box, feeling she hadn’t let down the transmigrator’s honor.
Hmm, her starting point was already pretty high.
Other time travelers need to hustle in the black market, use a variety of skills to catch the black market boss’s attention and gain trust before becoming a supplier…
She got it in one step, directly finding a sales channel, making the equivalent of two to three years of urban salary in just three days.
If this goes well, next time she can bring out more goods and earn more batches of eight hundred…
Lin Nianhe looked at the wooden box in her hands, planning to free up a box tomorrow.
To store money!
Before falling asleep, Lin Nianhe silently prayed in her heart, hoping their sales would go smoothly…
The sales indeed went very smoothly.
Sun ManCang had already checked in the cave, and the apples were of quite good quality, even better than those sold at the Cooperative Society for 0.48 yuan.
Thus, when they took the goods to a familiar black market in the provincial city, they actually sold them for 0.58 yuan each, higher than Wang Shumei had estimated.
This wasn’t hard to understand since Wang Shumei had never seen what apples looked like before and had only estimated the price based on her past experience trading them.
Selling for more money naturally meant a larger share for everyone.
Qian Guozhu exchanged some money on the black market, leaving some for Wang Shumei, and took some home as well.
He also bought quite a few things in the provincial city, again dividing them into two portions.
This time, he and Sun ManCang made a point of passing by Ten Miles Team in daylight.
The truck stopped at the entrance of the village, and Qian Guozhu carried the items into the village looking for Wang Shumei.
His timing was perfect; it was time for work, and he didn’t encounter anyone to ask for directions after walking for quite a while.
Finally, he caught someone and Qian Guozhu hurriedly approached: “Comrade, hello, can you lead me to the Educated Youth Corps?”
Fu Aiguo saw someone approaching and was thinking of running away but was still called out to.
He took one look at the tall and burly Qian Guozhu and instinctively stepped back: “You, who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Wang Shumei.” Qian Guozhu cracked a smile, “I’m her brother, just passing by, bringing her some stuff.”
Lately, the mere mention of “Wang Shumei” made Fu Aiguo’s shoulder ache.
The blow he received that day left his shoulder swollen two inches high, and it hadn’t healed yet.
Because he felt guilty, he didn’t dare to complain, nor could he tell others, not even daring to take time off, forcing himself to continue working in pain.
These days, whenever he saw Wang Shumei, he would take a detour.
Today, too, he coincidentally got the message for him, tried to run off to pee, but ended up in the hands of Wang Shumei’s brother.
Wang Shumei…
Is she specifically here to torment me?
He looked at Qian Guozhu and thought about his own situation, suppressing the irritation in his heart and saying, “They’re working right now, go find her in the fields.”
After speaking, he carelessly pointed towards the cornfield, then turned and ran towards the Educated Youth Corps.
Right, he’d go back to the Educated Youth Corps, and if later asked about it, he’d say he fell into a haystack and came back to change clothes.
Qian Guozhu didn’t overthink it; he just felt the young man was somewhat sneaky, not looking like an honest person.
He glanced back at the clothes Fu Aiguo was wearing, planning to tell his sister Shumei to be careful around this guy later.
In the cornfield, the exasperated voice of the squad leader of team five echoed:
“Lin Nianhe, Wang Shumei!
Why are you two together again?
Should I just assign you two a piece of land tomorrow?”
Lin Nianhe: “Hmm…
That’s not a bad idea.”
After all, she didn’t care much about losing some work points.
Wang Shumei: “Squad leader, would you believe me if I said my foot hurts and I came to Nianhe for medicine?”
You have to give some reason, otherwise, it’s too embarrassing.
Wen Lan from afar: “Two silly girls, beyond saving.”
