On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 30 Listening to Your Wife Will Lead to Prosperity

Originally, Song Jinyue was thinking about how to hide her identity when going to the black market so as not to arouse suspicion, until she saved the old lady earlier, and suddenly she had an idea.

She first went to a department store and bought a set of clothes for the elderly. After arriving at an empty alley, she entered the space, took out cosmetics, and started applying makeup to her face.

"Done!"

Song Jinyue snapped her fingers, and when she came out of the space again, she had transformed into a woman in her sixties.

The wrinkles on her face were incredibly realistic, and her jet-black hair was completely covered by a scarf. Even if her fifth uncle and aunt were sitting across from her, they wouldn't recognize her.

After putting on makeup, Song Jinyue went straight to the black market. When there was no one on the road, she walked briskly, and when there were people, she slowed down and hunched over, perfectly portraying the way an old lady walks.

As she approached the black market, she took out a sack from her spatial storage, which was filled with clothes.

Over the years, those ungrateful wretches have spent the Song family's money, buying loads of clothes and shoes as if they were free. Especially Lu Manman and Shen Yurou, each of them has twenty or thirty bags, which can't all be contained in one sack.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to pack up some of the clothes and take them to the black market to see if they were easy to sell.

She thought she had been discreet enough by dressing up as a woman in her sixties, but to her surprise, several people looked at her as soon as she appeared on the black market carrying a sack.

Those people stared in astonishment, their faces filled with shock.

Holy crap, it's rising so fast?!
They seemed to see a woman in her sixties carrying a sack!
Song Jinyue ignored the shock on their faces and carried the sack inside on her own.

The black market sells everything imaginable: grains, eggs, meat, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, cloth, shoes, socks, clothing, and even the three major items: bicycles, sewing machines, and watches.

Although the prices are a bit higher than in department stores, no coupons are required, and these items are in high demand; sometimes even if you have money and coupons, you might not be able to buy them.

At this point, they would secretly try their luck on the black market.

Song Jinyue brought only clothes with her today and went straight to the clothing stalls in front.

"Boss, do you want some secondhand clothes?"

She unloaded the sack and stood in front of the clothing stall.

The clothing vendor was surprised to see an elderly woman suddenly appear in front of his stall and ask him if he wanted secondhand clothes. He thought she was there to cause trouble.

"No, no, new clothes aren't selling, who wants your secondhand clothes? Get out of here, don't delay our business."

The boss waved his hand, signaling Song Jinyue to leave.

The proprietress, who was squatting nearby folding clothes, heard the commotion and came over. "What happened?"

"It's nothing, an old lady came and asked me if I wanted any second-hand clothes."

"Second-hand clothes?"

The proprietress looked at Song Jinyue in front of the stall and, seeing that she was dressed very neatly, walked over curiously.

"Auntie, what kind of clothes do you have? Can I take a look?"

"That's all. See if you need anything. If not, I'll look elsewhere."

Song Jinyue opened the sack to show the landlady the clothes inside. The landlady's eyes widened when she saw the fabric and style of the clothes.

"These are all the latest styles! Ma'am, where did you get these clothes?"

The proprietress was a connoisseur; she immediately recognized that many of the clothes Song Jinyue brought were currently trendy items, and she was instantly excited.

A while ago, several people asked her if she had any stock and were willing to pay a high price to buy it, but she hasn't found a channel yet and can only watch helplessly as the lucrative opportunity slips away.

Every time she thinks about it, she feels extremely sad. And then today, someone came to her door with a whole sack of goods!

Although they were all secondhand, she had a feeling that these clothes would sell very well!
Song Jinyue said in a serious tone, "I have a nephew in Guangzhou. He sent all of these to me. You should know Guangzhou as well. It's a coastal city that's developing rapidly."

"The clothes that are just popular here might already be out of style there, so people buy new clothes after only wearing them for a short time. These are all second-hand. Do you want them? If not, I'll ask around at other stalls."

"I want it all! Auntie, I'll take as many as you have!"

Upon hearing Song Jinyue say she was going to another stall, the stall owner quickly stopped her and immediately offered to buy all the clothes she had brought.

"Yuzhen, you've gone mad!"

The stall owner was startled. They still had so many new clothes on hand, and now they wanted to buy a whole sack of secondhand clothes. Wasn't that crazy?

The proprietress turned around and glared at him. "I think you're the one who's crazy! You tried to kick this old lady out without even asking her, you're stopping me from making money. Believe me, I'll beat you to death!"

The boss looked embarrassed, shrank back, and remained silent.

Clearly, the boss's wife was in charge in their household. She ordered the entire sack of clothes, and although the boss didn't understand, he didn't dare to say a word.

He could only watch helplessly as the proprietress gave the money to Song Jinyue, leaving behind a sack of secondhand clothes.

"Auntie, if you still have any stock, I'll take it all. I'll take as much as you have."

The proprietress looked at Song Jinyue as if she were a god of wealth, repeatedly telling her that if she needed this kind of goods again, she should come to her and never go to anyone else.

Song Jinyue, who became a grandmother at the age of twenty, nodded, "No problem, I still have quite a few, I'll send them all over to you tomorrow."

"Alright, ma'am, why don't you tell me a place? Tomorrow I'll have Dafu pull a flatbed cart over there and bring all the clothes over. You can come with him then to settle the accounts."

Unable to bear seeing Song Jinyue, at her age, carrying such heavy sacks back and forth, the proprietress offered to have her husband help her carry them the next day.

Finally, Song Jinyue gave a location, took the money, and left.

The next day, she arrived at the agreed-upon place ahead of time, and soon Liu Dafu, the owner of the clothing store, came over with his flatbed cart.

"Auntie, you didn't have to wait long, did you?"

Liu Dafu's attitude today was completely different from yesterday; his mouth was practically stretched to his ears!

Song Jinyue roughly guessed the reason and joked, "So happy, did you strike it rich?"

“Auntie, it was my fault yesterday. I chased you away without asking clearly. Please don’t take it to heart. If there are any good things like this in the future, please remember to come to us.”

Liu Dafu scratched his head and apologized to Song Jinyue for his impulsiveness yesterday.

Not long after Song Jinyue left the black market yesterday, someone came to their stall and asked if they had any stock. The two of them bought five pieces of clothing at once.

Later, perhaps those two people told their friends about it, because yesterday, people kept coming to their stall to inquire about the batch of second-hand clothes. Everyone who came left empty-handed; they were so busy counting money that they couldn't keep up with the demand.

All of this is thanks to the old lady he almost chased away yesterday.

Fortunately, his wife was wise and bought all the second-hand clothes despite his objections; otherwise, they would never have had such a chance to make money.

At this moment, Liu Dafu firmly believed in one sentence.

—Listen to your wife and you'll prosper!

My military life is about to begin! Please vote for me and give me five stars! Love you all!
