Chapter 1379: Bittersweet Memories 4
She often frequented the black market, priding herself on being able to gauge the situations of the people there.
Many people who couldn’t afford meals would come to the black market to buy overpriced grains in order to survive, but there were also some well-off people who, because they weren’t short on cash, would buy overpriced grains or foodstuffs.
Look at these elders, they all seem to be the latter kind, not emaciated with sallow skin, but rather with a certain luster.
Feng Qingxue wasn’t short on cash and didn’t want to risk dealing with several people at once.

Feng Qingxue made a few rounds and, encountering few people, did not close a single deal.
Just as she was about to leave for another black market or maybe to check out the second-hand market, she indeed had left the area of the black market when she was stopped by an old woman who whispered, "Sister, do you have any grain for sale?"
Feng Qingxue saw her sallow skin and listless appearance, sighed softly, "Come with me."
The old woman was overjoyed and immediately followed her.
