Chapter 88

“Yubai, we are here to deliver something to Ali.” Cui Jingming said with a smile, “I need your help.”

Zhou Yubai stepped forward as Cui Jingming was about to move the sewing machine from the back of the pickup truck.

“This is too expensive. We can’t accept it.” Zhou Yubai refused.

Sewing machines were definitely considered big items in the 1970s. Not only were they expensive, but even a sewing machine ticket was difficult to get.

“Yubai, we are giving gifts to Qingli because we want to ask her for help with something.” Cui Jingming said in a low voice.

Zhou Yubai still wasn’t ready to accept it.

He already had a strong aura and a cold expression, which made it difficult for people to continue speaking…

Cui Jingming coughed twice and said, “Then let’s go find Qingli and ask for her opinion.”

Zhou Yubai nodded.

He wouldn’t accept anything without Shen Qingli’s consent. What if they got into trouble with something they needed Qingli’s help with?

Cui Jingming was such a smart man that he naturally understood what Zhou Yubai meant, and walked to the backyard with Cui Jingqing.

backyard.

Shen Qingli was chatting with Sun Xiuli and Zhuzi’s mother.

Sun Xiuli is indeed an expert at keeping up with the latest intelligence. There is nothing major or minor in the village that she doesn’t know.

Sun Xiuli was talking to Shen Qingli about Li Qiushu’s family affairs.

“Li Qiushu came to our house yesterday and insisted on coming to help build the house. He also said that my boss didn’t even bother to call them when something good happened.”

“I was scolded back by my boss.”

“Li Qiushou is known for being a sneaky guy. He came here because he heard that your family gave him meat. Besides, even though he is here, he won’t work properly. He is always thinking about taking this or that.”

“It’s such a nasty thing, why don’t you just blast it out and keep it here?”

Shen Qingli was amused by Sun Xiuli’s vivid description. She knew that Sun Xiuli was trying to curry favor with the captain. After all, the captain had indeed been unkind in what happened to Zhou Sian before.

But Shen Qingli understood the captain and didn’t mean to blame him.

“Do you know what happened in Li Qiushu’s family recently?” Sun Xiuli asked in a low voice.

“What’s the matter?” Shen Qingli asked curiously. She finally experienced the joy of gossip. In the past, in the apocalypse, no one talked about gossip with her.

Everyone is talking about where there are many zombies, where there are plenty of supplies, and where rescue is needed.

All kinds of high-paced, deadly things.

Now, listening to gossip and eating melons, my life is so beautiful that it is hard to describe.

Shen Qingli thought it would be even more beautiful if she had a handful of melon seeds.

Just as Sun Xiuli was about to continue speaking, Cui Jingming and his sister arrived.

“Qingli, you have guests coming.” Sun Xiuli and Zhuzi’s mother stood up.

Shen Qingli also stood up.

“Qingli.” Cui Jingqing rushed over quickly, “Qingli, we have something to discuss with you.”

Cui Jingming was standing a little further away, and there were only women there, so it would not be appropriate for him to get too close.

“Qingli, we have finished cooking lunch today. Your aunt Zhang and I will go back first and continue tomorrow.” Sun Xiuli said with tact.

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, we will continue tomorrow.” Shen Qingli said it quickly, but she was reluctant to leave. Ah, my melon, I haven’t finished eating it yet? He ran away…

“Qingqing, what do you want to talk to me about?” Shen Qingli waited until Sun Xiuli and the others were far away before she asked.

“Qingli, we would like some more heart-saving pills and health-care pills.” Cui Jingming said seriously.

“Have you finished taking the medicine?” Shen Qingli was slightly startled. She had given him two months’ supply, so it shouldn’t have run out so quickly. Could it be…

“When my mother was visiting an old friend, her old man suddenly fell ill. His symptoms were the same as my mother’s. My mother gave him a heart-saving pill in a hurry.”

“The effect of the medicine was very obvious. I was with my mother at the time. I saw the old lady recover.”

“Later, when they asked about the medicine, I told them the truth. This medicine can be used as an emergency treatment. I am not in a position to reveal the identity of the old man, but he is a very powerful person. He also invited an expert to look at the two medicines and said they were very good.”

“So…” Cui Jingming paused and looked at Shen Qingli, “Qingli, my mother gave half of each of the two medicines to the old man.”

“The old man has been taking health pills for a few days and his complexion has improved a lot.”

“They come to our door specifically, hoping to be introduced to the pharmaceutical manufacturer to meet them. If they are unwilling to meet, they also want to pay a large sum of money for the medicine,” Cui Jingming continued.

“You can buy medicine, but we can’t meet for now.” Shen Qingli thought for a while and said, Zhou Yubai still has some secrets. If she contacts big shots now, it will inevitably attract the attention of some forces.

She would not put Zhou Yubai in danger because of anyone.

“Okay! Qingli, thank you so much. This time, you are willing to sell medicine to the old man. It will be of great benefit to Qingqing and me. We will be transferred back to the county.” Cui Jingming did not hide the benefits he could get.

Shen Qingli is so smart, she would understand even if I don’t say it. It’s better to be honest, so that everyone will feel better.

“Qingli, you really bring me good luck. Ever since I met you, I feel like I have been blessed with great fortune.” Cui Jingqing took Shen Qingli’s arm.

“Can I take that sewing machine?” Cui Jingming asked with a smile.

“Hurry up and ask Yu Bai to come in. I have just enough space for four sets.” Shen Qingli responded jokingly.

Cui Jingming raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes looked at Shen Qingli more and more gentle. It was really hard not to be moved by such a good girl. However, he still had a moral bottom line, and he could only treat Shen Qingli as a sister.

A very special sister.

Cui Jingming carefully hid his thoughts and no one discovered them.

With Shen Qingli’s words, Zhou Yubai quickly moved the sewing machine to the backyard.

Everyone who was working watched with their eyes wide open again!

“The relatives of Zhou’s daughter-in-law are so generous. They gave her a sewing machine as a gift.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Otherwise, Zhou kid is a lucky guy.”

“Yes, look at how well the couple lives.”

Everyone was talking while continuing to work.

Shen Qingli also liked the sewing machine very much. Finally, she didn’t have to sew by hand!

Technology changes life.

“Qingli, can the medicine be made so quickly this time?”

“About a week. Come find me in a week. I’ll go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow.” Shen Qingli thought for a while and said. She had ready-made heart-saving pills and all the medicinal materials for health pills, so it wouldn’t take too much time.

Just find time to go up the mountain by yourself and hide in the space for half a day.

Thinking of going up the mountain, Shen Qingli suddenly thought of Zhang Daqing.

Zhou Yubai’s second brother-in-law…
