Chapter 81 - 81

Chapter 81 Making MischiefSu Qing quickly came up with an idea and said to Zhu Lili,"Have you heard that a few people with special connections have come to the base?""No!" Zhu Lili immediately became interested.Su Qing said, " Villa No. 2 is where they live. I don't know who they got in touch with. You know that living in the villa area gives them priority in selecting supplies. Think about how hard our men work, and they get a discount when they go out to find supplies. I don't know what they have done to deserve this special treatment!"Zhu Lili exclaimed, "Is this even possible? Didn't they say it takes 50,000 contribution points to live in the villa area for a year? How much supplies did they send over?!"Su Qing shook her head slightly. "They moved in without any supplies. I heard the Base Commander provided them with the best facilities, even the kitchenware is brand new. We don't even have that kind of treatment!"Zhu Lili was no longer calm. Her husband was one of the top people in the base, and even so, they lived in a three-bedroom, one-living-room house with their whole family. The Base Commander hadn't even offered them a villa.If the other party had spent resources, that would be one thing, but they didn't contribute anything and still got to stay at Villa No. 2.That's just too embarrassing.Zhu Lili, forgetting everything else, asked,"Where are those people? I want to see what kind of people they are that got the base to open the back door for them!"Su Qing: "Look at the front row, there's a little girl in a pink down jacket and a young man standing next to her in a black down jacket. They're the people who live in Villa No. 2. "The girl looked so frail; she clearly had no fighting skills. The young man next to her also looked thin and weak; he'd probably be easily beaten by your man and his gang. People like that, what kind of connections could they possibly have gotten?"Zhu Lili carefully examined the two men and found that, just as Su Qing had said, they didn't seem like very capable people. If her man came over, he could easily slap them down and leave them rubbing their heads in the ground.This is no longer a time of peace; to gain a foothold in the base, you need a man's fist.When her man gets angry, the Base Commander has to give him some leeway..."Just the two of them? There must be others, right?"Su Qing whispered, "Why don't we devise a plan to make them suffer a little? Let's teach them a lesson. Anyway, if something happens, we men won't stand by and watch us get bullied, right?"Zhu Lili wanted to refuse, as doing this would be thankless, but the people around her were looking at her, and in order to show their status, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.Knowing that she had achieved her goal, Su Qing offered them some advice.The method is actually very simple: when distributing scarce supplies, a few women rush forward and deliberately mislead everyone, and then have others embarrass them. This is called killing with a borrowed knife without lifting a finger.After hearing the plan, the women all agreed.Su Qing planned to play it by ear and call over the men of the women to teach Su Xiaoyu a lesson.Even if the men investigate later, since several of them were involved, they can just go back and have a few arguments and that's it; there's no real loss.Su Xiaoyu and Lin Xiuxiu were having a great time chatting with the older woman in front of them in line, and they also found out that there were quite a few eggs available today.With their current privileges, as long as they get to the front of the line, they can buy everything on the counter first, as long as they have enough contribution points in their cards.This is the benefit of privilege. For ordinary people to have this kind of privilege, they first need to have their own squad.There is only one captain in a team, and only one silver card representing his/her identity. These cards are usually used in rotation to prioritize the purchase of supplies.The most supplies are taken out at the beginning of each month, which is why so many people came today.It's been a long time since Su Xiaoyu has been able to eat eggs openly, and she feels that staying at the base is quite nice.While others go out to collect supplies, they only need to spend contribution points to buy them, which is incredibly convenient.Soon it was their turn to shop. Behind the 1.5-meter-high counter stood two young and strong men, one responsible for carrying the items and the other for swiping the cards.There were many items on the shelves behind them.Rice, flour, oil, eggs, all sorts of daily necessities, potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, but no leafy green vegetables.The vermicelli was in a large bundle, the kind that was particularly long.Su Xiaoyu saw dozens of eggs in the box, and on a nearby shelf, there was about five or six pounds of cured meat that looked relatively clean, along with some dried salted fish. On another shelf, there were canned goods including pickled vegetables, yellow croaker, and braised pork, but not a wide variety.The most eye-catching thing was that there were two processed roosters on the tray. These were fresh chickens, so the price certainly wouldn't be cheap.But what does it matter? Being able to eat braised chicken and potatoes is the most important thing. As for the contribution points in the card, I'll spend them first.Yu Ling found the two people in front of him unfamiliar; it must be their first meeting. He had been standing there for almost a minute without saying a word, and there were still many people in line behind him. He had no choice but to knock on the counter and ask them."Have you decided what you want to exchange?""22 eggs, 5 cans of braised pork, 2 cans of fish, I'll take the whole piece of cured pork, and 2 jin of vermicelli!"I need one bag each of rice and flour, 10 potatoes and 10 carrots, please pick out the big ones for me, and I want the chicken on the left.Oh, and a bottle of soybean oil, please. That's all for now!Su Xiaoyu finished speaking in one breath and then put the card in her hand on the counter.The two men were stunned. They hadn't seen so many people buying supplies in a long time. The base had several types of cards.The cards on the table were the same gold color as the cards used by Base Commander. This was the first time they had seen anyone other than Base Commander's family using them.It's obvious that this card is different from the one from Base Commander; it's very new and has a number written on it: 2.Captain-level personnel use silver cards to signify their status.Ordinary people use white cards, and even the cards in his pocket are ordinary cards.Yu Ling: "Young man, are you sure you want these things?""How many contribution points do these things require?" Su Xiaoyu thought that she still had more than 9,000 contribution points in her card, and it would be better to ask to be on the safe side.The man took out an abacus, fiddled with it for a while, then looked up and said,"5448 contribution points, that's the number I calculated.""Okay, I'll take them all." Su Xiaoyu reached out and took the basket to the counter, preparing to put the eggs in it later."Whose child is this who can buy so much stuff... He's bought so many eggs, there probably aren't many left!" The woman's voice was thin and sharp.The young man quickly drew everyone's attention from their shock and bought so many things in one go.Doesn't that mean we've bought up all their resources?An old man in the crowd immediately objected, "You can't buy things like that! I was thinking of buying some eggs to make steamed egg cakes for my grandson!"Yu Ling glanced at the basket and saw that there were about 40 eggs."There are still some eggs left, and those with gold and silver cards have priority. It will be your turn soon, sir, so please don't rush!"
