Chapter 306: Hanging Out With Big Boss Will Never Be Too Bad (3)

Mo Beihan hid his items properly and returned to work as usual the next day. As for Lin Dongxu and Ji Mingzhe, they gained a lot of insights from what Mo Beihan said.
Actually, Lin Dongxu was very clever. When he saw Mo Beihan doing this previously, he followed and traded for some antiques as well. Although he did not know if they would be useful or not in the future, he firmly believed that hanging out with Big Boss will never be too bad.
Meanwhile, in the Qing River Brigade, Gu Qingyao was still leading free and easy days.
Her days were much more relaxed with the diligent Gu Yunshuang and Gu Fangting at home. Apart from bringing the kids out to play, she would go to town to trade her supplies.
She even went to the city frequently.
Thus, in this period of time, her little treasury grew steadily.
On the other hand, Gu Ruoqing’s life was pretty good. Every day, she could come down to the village to pluck wild vegetables and then freeload meals off Chen Honghua’s house; her complexion improved greatly.
Chen Honghua had been very solicitous in this period of time and did very well in pleasing Gu Ruoqing. She gave all the wild vegetables that she dug to Gu Ruoqing every time and Gu Ruoqing even gradually began taking things from Chen Honghua’s house.
In the beginning, it was one or two cornbread. Subsequently, it became some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, noodles and pancakes.
While Chen Honghua and Wang Qiuhua’s heart ached, Gu Ruoqing said that she has been talking to her father about finding a chance to get Chen Honghua to work in the factory. Hence, it was why Chen Honghua and Wang Qiuhua could bear to go all out this time.
Nonetheless, the two people were immersed in greed and delight and failed to think that if Wang Guozhu was really capable of doing that, why didn’t he send Gu Ruoqing to the factory then?
Gu Ruoqing got plenty of items from the Chen family over this period of time. Chen Honghua and Wang Qiuhua thought that Gu Ruoqing brought these items home but in reality, she brought all of them to the black market to trade.
After staying in the city for a period of time, she was obviously aware of the black market’s existence.
She had no means of bringing those foods back home directly and even if she did, it would not be hers to eat. However, as long as there was a supply of such items in the black market, she would also be able to trade for food in the future.
Thus, it was more useful to trade for money.
She only had some cornbread, wild vegetables, pancakes and whatnot. There were extremely few rice and flour as the Chen Family could not bear to eat these and only ate them occasionally. As a result, the amount that she could bring with her was even fewer.
In addition, those wild vegetables that she dug everyday were worthless and only those starving people might want her wild vegetables.
Over this period of time, she was able to fill her stomach and even save some money.
Time flew by and May approached quickly. Zhang Xiaohui no longer dared to appear in public as her stomach was very large at this time.
She had only been married for less than two months but her stomach was so large already – this was definitely abnormal.
Hence, Zhang Xiaohui hid at home everyday while Gu Ruoqing was in trouble as it was soon the busy periods of countryside farms and she was called back to labor for work points.
Gu Ruoqing could not accept this at all and once again, she begged Wang Guozhu.
“Father, can you let me work in the factory? There’s salary and coupons for work. Even if I go to the countryside farm, food will only be distributed after the autumn harvest! It would not help much to our family’s current situation.”
Wang Guozhu frowned. Of course, he knew that the best way was to send Gu Ruoqing to work in the factory, but the problem was that he had no means!
Gu Ruoqing had a countryside account and no education background, so the factory would not accept her.
In addition, he had a great fight with Zhou Hong and she had been suppressing him in the dark. He simply had no means.
The current Gu Ruoqing was unable to enter the factory.
