She deliberately put on an indifferent facade, but inside she was already boiling with excitement.
At this time, the ordinary workers in the factory earned just over thirty yuan a month, and she suddenly got so much money that her heart was about to leap out.
But she couldn’t let it slip in front of these people.
Once she walked far away, a henchman who came with the black market leader Brother Gu Zi spoke up, "Brother Gu Zi, do you want me to follow her?"
After speaking, he even made a motion of knocking someone out.
Brother Gu Zi looked at the person walking far away, turned around, and directly scolded, "Do you think a mere girl like her could get so many things? If you want to die, I’m not stopping you."
The man felt a little dumbfounded after hearing Brother Gu Zi’s words. However, after a while, he figured it out. Looking at the sack on the ground, he thought to himself: Indeed, with so much grain delivered here, it couldn’t have been managed by just one girl; there must be someone behind her.
Thinking about the scene where he might get into trouble for being reckless, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Yu Xinyan didn’t care what they thought, nor how they were going to move those things, or when they would do it. She quickly walked to the edge of the forest, checked to make sure no one was following her, confirmed that the surroundings were safe, then went under the bridge and found a hidden place to enter the space.
She chuckled foolishly at all that money, feeling that now she truly had money in her pocket and wouldn’t be anxious. However, since this money couldn’t see the light of day, fortunately, she had long prepared herself with Plan A and Plan B.
Back when she was in school, her writing skills were quite good, so she took some time a few days ago to try writing some short articles to send out, thinking she should receive some news soon. She was just unsure whether they could catch the eye of the newspaper editors.
Finding a safe place to enter the space, she quickly changed back into her original clothes, put the cloth and sugar she needed to bring back into a bag, and then exited the space.
Nimbly climbing up the bridge, she patted the dust off her clothes and walked toward the bus stop ahead.
It was already late, and aside from the last bus back to the Mechanical Factory at nine in the evening, this was the latest one. If she missed it, she’d have to walk back.
She walked about 300 meters forward and saw the bus stop, the one Cheng Family’s Sister-in-law had pointed out to her on her last trip to the city.
It wasn’t long before the bus arrived. As soon as she got on, she heard Lin Aifeng’s voice, "Xinyan, why are you taking this bus too?"
Yu Xinyan hadn’t expected that Lin Aifeng would also be heading back at this time. However, there was no empty seat left for her; the bus had been full since leaving the city.
But the aisle wasn’t too crowded, so Lin Aifeng waved her over, saying, "Come over here, I’ll help you with your stuff."
Yu Xinyan squeezed over, not being polite about it. Since her offer of help was genuine, it wouldn’t do to refuse.
After finding her balance, Yu Xinyan asked softly, "Why are you heading back so late?"
Lin Aifeng pointed to the bag at her feet and replied in a low voice, "The old Chinese medicine doctor gave me some medicine to adjust my body. Since there was an ingredient missing, he told me to come by later to pick it up, and I also took the opportunity to visit my cousin. We ended up chatting for a long time.
And you? Why are you so late?"
Yu Xinyan thought that maybe it was time to let something slip, "Director He is almost recovered. After the follow-up in a few days, it’s time for me to leave as well. I went to the city to inquire about school matters."
Lin Aifeng was initially stunned upon hearing that, then remembered that her grandmother had mentioned before that Yu Xinyan was exceptionally good at studying and should have been taking the college entrance exams this year, "So how’s that going?"
Yu Xinyan shook her head and said, "My household registration is not here, so it’s difficult to handle."
