Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading Chapter 126: Baby Formula from Hong Kong

Zhang Guifang turned her head and was about to rush to the east room.

A cloth curtain hung on the door of the east room, covering it tightly, indicating there must be sothing hidden inside.

She reached out to lift the curtain, but before she could touch it, she was pushed.

"You can’t enter this room!"

Su Xiaoxiao stretched her arm out in the doorway, preventing Zhang Guifang from getting closer.

Isn’t this a clear sign of a guilty conscience?

Zhang Guifang was even more certain; those fish might be hidden in this room.

"Aunt, the fish isn’t in this room; you should search elsewhere."

This room belonged to Xu Zhaodi, who had just given birth and was still in confinent, so it was indeed inconvenient for them to search inside.

"I think those fish are in this room, otherwise why wouldn’t you let us in? Isn’t it because you’re hiding sothing?"

Just then, the sound of a baby crying suddenly ca from the room.

Zhang Guifang pushed Su Xiaoxiao aside and rushed in.

She didn’t see any fish, but she did see a young woman sitting on the bed holding a baby.

She imdiately recognized that this woman was Wang Cripple’s young wife from before.

Little Shitou was startled by the commotion Zhang Guifang made rushing in and imdiately burst into tears.

Zhang Guifang’s eyes glinted, and she raised her voice: "Ah, no wonder you wouldn’t let in. So this is where you’ve hidden evidence of Su Fusheng’s misdeeds!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who did anything wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao glared at Zhang Guifang; this aunt really loved throwing dirt at others.

"If nothing improper happened, how would there be a child in your ho? This child couldn’t have just sprung from a crack in a rock, could it?"

While Zhang Guifang spoke, her gaze swept over the table and saw a milk bottle and infant formula, brightening instantly, "Ah, your second brother misbehaved, and you stole from the departnt store, just like your rogue dad."

Zhang Guifang looked at the items on the table and was convinced that Su Xiaoxiao had stolen them from the departnt store, thinking how could soone so poor afford such expensive formula?

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Aunt, before you accuse , take a clear look. This brand of formula was brought by soone I knew from Hong Kong; our city’s departnt store doesn’t even have it."

"You? Know soone from Hong Kong?"

Zhang Guifang obviously didn’t believe it. In her eyes, people from Hong Kong were all big shots; how could Su Xiaoxiao, a country bumpkin, possibly know them?

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t bother to engage her, directly flipping the formula can and pointing to the striking black characters "Hong Kong Dairy" on it for her to see: "Aunt, take a closer look; it clearly says Hong Kong Dairy here..."

Before she could finish, Zhang Guifang rudely interrupted: "Maybe it’s new stock at the departnt store, and you secretly took it."

As she finished this sentence, she spotted Zhang Dongi among the crowd enjoying the spectacle.

"Dongi, tell your aunt, isn’t this formula from your departnt store?"

Zhang Dongi was watching intently, not expecting to be called out.

She hesitated for a mont, smoothing her newly perd curls: "Aunt Guifang, you’re right. I just saw this brand of formula in the departnt store’s warehouse."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh in anger; Zhang Dongi really went all out to throw mud at her.

"Since Mr. Zhang said there is so, could you do a favor..."

Su Xiaoxiao said as she retrieved a crumpled Overseas Remittance Coupon from her bag, "Could you help pick up two more cans tomorrow? We’re about to run out of formula at ho."

She deliberately shook the remittance coupon in her hand, making it rattle, "If I rember correctly, the internal price for this formula is eight and a half per can."

With that, she took out two banknotes and tucked them along with the remittance coupon into Zhang Dongi’s hand: "Anyone needing formula, hurry and ask Mr. Zhang to bring so."

Su Xiaoxiao’s words imdiately brought all the villagers watching closer.

Several who had newborns at ho joined in: "Mr. Zhang, I’d like so formula too, could you grab a couple of cans for ?"

"My wife just gave birth and can’t produce milk, get a can too."

With everyone chiming in, surrounding Zhang Dongi, the snowflake cream on her face was nearly washed away by sweat.

Not to ntion that the departnt store didn’t have Hong Kong formula in stock, even if it did, formula was as scarce as gold; how could she possibly buy any?

"The... this formula recently ran out, you’ll have to wait..."

Zhang Dongi forced herself to lie, only for Su Xiaoxiao to imdiately speak up: "Mr. Zhang, didn’t you just say you saw it in the warehouse? Why say there’s none now? Are you toying with us?"

"Yeah, you say there is one mont and there isn’t the next, are you playing us for fools?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, what’s really going on here?"

Zhang Dongi’s face changed repeatedly, and finally, biting her lower lip, she spoke: "Sorry, I must have rembered wrong; the departnt store actually doesn’t have any formula right now."

Soone in the crowd observing let out a light snicker: "Liar."

A simpleton watching from the fence slapped his thigh: "How co Zhang Sister can’t even rember this, even my family’s Fugui is smarter!"

What was that brat saying? Daring to claim she was worse than a pig?

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Zhang Dongi left with a dark expression.

This Zhang Dongi was so useless!

Zhang Guifang felt deeply disappointed and decided to target Xu Zhaodi again: "Even if the formula wasn’t stolen from the departnt store, this bastard is still proof of Su Fusheng’s misdeeds..."

She suddenly snatched the child from Xu Zhaodi’s arms, showing it to everyone: "Everyone, have a good look. Xu Zhaodi is living at the Su Family’s house without title or na, and now she’s even had a child—to say it wasn’t improper behavior would be putting it lightly!"

"You’re talking nonsense! This child isn’t even Brother Fusheng’s!"

Xu Zhaodi rushed forward to snatch back the child, but grabbed air.

Seeing her so anxious, Zhang Guifang was more convinced: "I heard that the city hospital can do blood tests to confirm the child’s blood type and reveal who the real father is."

Just as she spoke, she received a heavy slap to her face: "You’re spouting nonsense—I already had several months of pregnancy when I t Brother Fusheng; many people in the village can attest to it!"

Zhang Guifang looked up and didn’t expect the person who hit her was the usually ek Xu Zhaodi.

"You little wench, have you gone mad!"

She was about to rush forward, Su Xiaoxiao, seeing the child in her arms wobbling, hastily stepped forward to take the child back.

Her fingers unknowingly snagged sothing, and a bundle wrapped in a handkerchief fell out of Zhang Guifang’s pocket.

The handkerchief unfolded, and the contents scattered everywhere like a peacock spreading its feathers—it was a bunch of nationwide grain coupons.

"Well, Aunt, accusing of profiteering; I think the real profiteer here is you, right? Otherwise, where did you get so many nationwide grain coupons?"
