Zhu Peini remained silent for a moment before nodding. "Although we have plenty of workers at home and our tickets aren't bad, it's still tough these days with the scarcity of supplies. Sometimes, even if you have meat tickets, you can't get any meat at the supply and marketing cooperative. When that happens, we have to figure out a way to get some on the black market."
The two sisters-in-law carefully calculated the family's monthly income and the amount of tickets they'd have, then thought about the four little babies that kept crying. They immediately realized that once the gifts from their cousin were finished, if they wanted to eat meat again, they'd have to join the long lines early.
"Mom, if you need to buy anything from the black market in the future, just let us know. We'll go for you," the eldest sister-in-law quickly offered.
The second sister-in-law nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! After all, we're young. If something happens, we'll definitely run fast."
