She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 748 She Lied

Huo Yisheng then informed him of Mr. Huang's recent progress: "...He is now doing what he enjoys, and his overall condition is very good."

He knew that his wife had planned to bring Mr. Huang to live with her to take care of him, but Mr. Huang disagreed. She felt very uncomfortable and worried for a while.

However, it was not convenient for her to visit him, so she could only ask him from time to time.

At that moment, I was relieved:

"Mr. Huang has been living with the army since he was young... no, since he was a child. He's used to this kind of life. If you ask him to retire here doing nothing, he won't be able to adapt and will have problems in all aspects."

Ye Shu agreed that this was true.

When you get old, the most important thing is to live a comfortable and happy life.

She had known before that when some elderly people got old, their children would ask them to do this or that in the name of doing it for their own good, but in fact it was completely against their own wishes. Instead, the elderly would become depressed and their lifespan would not be long.

It was like she had a distant relative who was in her eighties or nineties, had several children, and even had a son who had retired, but her son was unwilling to return to the countryside to live with the old lady and spend the last few years of her life there.

Instead, under the pretext of doing it for the old lady's own good, they took her to a foreign city more than a thousand kilometers away.

As a son, he was unwilling to give up his social circle and comfortable life after retirement, but he forced an old lady to give up her comfortable life circle and leave her hometown for a place where she was unfamiliar with everyone.

Is this good or bad?

It's hard to judge anyway.

At present, Mr. Huang has the life he wants and is willing to live. Knowing that everything is fine with him, he feels relieved.

The next day, Zhuang Jingjing told everyone about what happened last night: "Did you hear it?"

Mrs. Jin: "I heard it. Is it someone moving in the compound up ahead? Why is there so much noise?"

Zhuang Jingjing: "I don't know. It's been going on for several days now. They move at night and during the day, but I don't see them moving much during the day."

After saying that, she added, "I always feel that there is something wrong with them. Let's detain the children for a few days and don't let them go out and cause trouble."

Mrs. Tang happened to come over and said after hearing this:

"Yes, my husband, Huo, also said that things might be a little uneasy recently. He told us not to go out unless necessary, to keep the gate closed at all times, and for the children not to go out to play. Also, if you have to go out, make sure to close the doors and windows at home tightly."

It seems something is going to happen!

The next morning, gongs started ringing outside again, saying that a lot of food had arrived at the grain store, and everyone was asked to quickly line up to buy food.

Coincidentally, Sisi and Xiaowu were still awake and seemed a little restless.

Ye Shu was worried about them staying at home, so he said hello to Jin Saozi and the others: "I'm not going. I have to put the kids to sleep. You guys go!"

Sister Jin: "Okay! Hu Baoer and Niu Baoer come with me, you help get the food."

Just at this time, Meng Mingzhen also came out from the backyard, holding a cloth bag in her hand. It was obvious that she was also going to queue up to buy food.

Seeing her condition, Ye Shu couldn't help but frown: "You're not in a good condition to queue outside. It's snowing right now and it's very cold."

Mrs. Tang said, "Give me the cloth bag. I'll take all the children with me. I'll bring back as many as I can today."

Meng Mingzhen was aware of her physical condition and knew it was not very good, so she did not try to show off.

Gave her the cloth bag and the money.

In the end, Zhuang Jingjing also brought Yaya along. Anyway, as long as the child is a little older, they can get a share.

Luckily I brought the kids with me today, because the purchase of food is limited to only three kilograms per person!

For a moment, the people in the team started to discuss: "What's going on? Are we going to go hungry during the New Year this year?"

"How long will these three pounds last? Oh my god, this is unbearable!"

Mrs. Jin and the others didn't look very good either. As soon as they stood in the line, Zhao Jinhua rushed over in a hurry. When she stood still, she lost her balance and almost slipped.

Mrs. Jin quickly pulled her aside and said, "What are you doing? If you leave earlier, you won't be so anxious."

Zhao Jinhua panted: "I went to call Sister Chen, but I knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it. She's not home!"

Mrs. Jin asked, "Where are her two sons?"

Chen Miao's two children are very naughty. Because they cannot play with the children in the front yard, or maybe Chen Miao has told them not to play with the children in the front yard, they often run outside the yard to play with other children and are often not at home.

Zhao Jinhua: "She is at home today, but she told me that her family has enough food and her mother doesn't have to queue up."

She found it very strange: "What about her two boys? Boys of this age are the kind of young boys who can make their parents poor. How could her family not be short of food?"

Mrs. Jin and the others suddenly exchanged glances and felt that something was wrong, but they didn't say much at the moment.

There are many people in the team and if you say something that shouldn't be said, it's easy to get into trouble.

But after returning home, Sister Jin went to find Ye Shu and told her what was wrong with Chen Miao:

"...Talk to your husband tonight. If you don't know, Chen Miao might have gone to the black market!"

The black market was very common in that era. Due to the local situation and environment, it became a special trading place where city dwellers and country people met their needs.

Sometimes, it would be on a street corner, and an old woman with a basket in her hand would exchange the eggs in the basket for some money to take home to treat her children’s illnesses, buy cloth, etc.

Or it could be a hidden corner where people who have made an appointment to come together to exchange things.

Anyway, it's all customary practice. Everyone takes what they need and doesn't make it public.

However, many places have also taken advantage of this to demonize the situation, resulting in everything being available and traded on the black market.

This is abnormal and is the target of severe official crackdowns.

The reason why Mrs. Jin suspected that Chen Miao went to the black market was simply because the source of her family's food was unclear. She never queued up, so where did her food come from?

As they were talking, Chen Miao came in carrying a bag of rice.

Mrs. Jin deliberately called her, "Comrade Chen, where are you from?"

Chen Miao: "I'm going to queue up to buy food!"

Sister Jin deliberately said: "You went? Why didn't I see you in the team?"

Chen Miao: "I went late and lined up behind you. There were so many people, so it's normal that you didn't see me!"

"I'm going to go back and cook!"

As soon as everyone left, Sister Jin pointed at the bag in her arms and said, "She lied! Today, each of us is limited to buying three kilograms, and her bag is so full, it's definitely more than three kilograms!"
