"Aunt Wang, they say even brothers keep clear accounts! Besides, I'm going into business; I can't be careless right from the start! How about this: I'll sell it first as a trial, and once I make some money, I'll return the capital. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wang felt much more at ease; she just didn't want the girl to feel distant from her.
"Aunt Wang, please help me tie these goods up. I’ll go ask around to see who can accompany me to the town tomorrow!"
After arranging to meet Xu Zhuzhen, Yu Songyu returned to the modern world. She wanted to check on Bai Jie and gather some supplies.
First, she went to the Agricultural Trade Market and bought some woven bags and plastic bags to store in her space. She knew that her hometown didn't have many of these items, so it was more convenient for her to prepare them herself when collecting Mountain Goods.
Seeing a stall selling cotton gloves and cotton hats ahead, she picked out several pairs of gloves—some for men and some for women. She also bought knee pads, non-slip rubber-soled cotton shoes in different styles and sizes for both men and women.
These items from the future were far superior in both quality and style compared to those from her current era. Since she wasn't buying too much, she planned to sell them alongside the Mountain Goods; if they sold, great, and if not, she could keep them for herself or give them away.
She purchased several pounds of thread in various colors, along with cotton vests, down vests, and plenty of autumn clothing for both men and women.
Finding a secluded spot, Yu Songyu stored all these items in her space.
She arranged to meet Bai Jie at the café they often visited during school days.
"Xiao Yu, did you know Chen Lu is back?"
"Who?"
Yu Songyu was a bit confused; she hadn't heard clearly and confirmed again.
"Chen Lu!"
"How could that be?"
Yu Songyu's face was filled with shock. They had fallen into the hands of those demons like sheep into a tiger's den. If it weren't for her space ability, how could they possibly have survived?
"I was just as shocked when I heard; that's why they say calamities can last for a thousand years," Bai Jie said angrily, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"Do you know how she came back?"
Yu Songyu's voice trembled. She had thought this matter would end with Chen Lu's death, but unexpectedly, she had returned.
It is said that her family went through many twists and turns to contact the military police over there, rescuing her from the den of demons! Isn’t it ridiculous? A devil fell into a pit of evil and was actually saved? Isn’t it ironic? If those who rescued her knew she was a woman of inherently wicked nature, would they regret their actions?
Song Yu and Bai Jie, what a coincidence!
Hearing that familiar voice, Yu Songyu and Bai Jie felt a chill run down their spines.
You!
Bai Jie couldn’t contain her inner fury; she truly wanted to strangle that wretched woman. If it weren’t for her, would Xiao Yu and herself have been captured and subjected to inhumane torture in Cambodia? Her mother had nearly cried her eyes out over her disappearance. All of this was thanks to that vile Chen Lu. After all these years, she had considered her a close friend—what a joke!
“Don’t be so angry, you’re both standing here just fine, aren’t you?”
Chen Lu was equally furious; she didn’t know if she had experienced some sort of hallucination at that time. She only remembered those two people disappearing right before her eyes. When she woke up again, they were indeed gone. She couldn’t understand; could it be that she had some special ability?
But that couldn’t be possible. They had known each other for so many years; if she really had any special powers, she should have discovered them long ago. It seemed that day was merely a figment of her imagination. Regardless, from the moment they abandoned her without regard for their own safety, they had become enemies.
