Chapter 31 Revenge

The people who rushed away from the market just now weren't scared and running away, but were in a hurry to go back and get their money!

The thought that she had just assumed the other person was avoiding her made her feel embarrassed, and her face flushed.

The two sisters looked down at each other, speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Shen Cuifen smiled and nodded slowly, saying, "Alright, that'll be seven yuan and fifty cents in total."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xiuye, who was standing next to him, eagerly tried to take over the conversation.

But she opened her mouth but hadn't had a chance to speak.

Shen Cuifen had already spoken the exact amount before anyone else.

The two sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

I was once again amazed by Sister Shen's speed in calculating accounts.

The fashionable woman buying the shoes didn't ask any questions and readily handed the money to Shen Cuifen.

Then, while collecting the change, he turned around and shouted at the two people behind Shen Cuifen, "What are you two standing there for? What are you doing? Hurry up and help me find the shoe upper!"

Shen Cuifen smiled and responded as she counted the banknotes in her hand.

Lu Xiuye ​​and Lu Xiuwei then came to their senses and hurriedly started helping out in a flurry of activity.

Searching through a pile of shoe materials of various sizes and colors to find the right upper and matching sole.

The scene that followed was even more lively, with people coming and going.

Residents continued to flock to the stalls, selecting their preferred sizes and styles.

Shen Cuifen was in charge of collecting money, constantly quoting prices and giving change.

The two sisters were also busy, handing out shoe uppers and soles of different sizes to customers.

There was barely any time to catch my breath.

In just the time it takes to eat a meal, more than twenty pairs of shoes have already been sold!

The business is booming far beyond expectations.

Before leaving, the last fashionable woman who came to buy shoes turned back and gave a smiling reminder.

"Big sister, if you ever have any new shoes, clothes, or anything else, remember to come buy them here! The prices are so reasonable and affordable!"

As soon as he said this, even the surrounding buyers couldn't help but nod in agreement.

She couldn't stop smiling, thinking that she had really gotten a great deal today.

Normally, these corduroy shoes would be considered exquisitely made and made with high-quality materials.

If you take it to a state-run department store, you can't expect to buy it without spending at least three yuan.

It's like a windfall to be able to get them so cheaply from a small stall at the alley entrance.

She bought three pairs at once, saving a full dollar and fifty cents.

Saving money is the same as making money.

The other neighbors nearby nodded in agreement, echoing each other's sentiments.

Shen Cuifen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay! I'll definitely come back next time if you have new stock, and I'll give you a special discount then!"

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and they all beamed with happiness.

I walked out of the wide iron gate of the knitting factory.

Lu Xiuye ​​was still in a daze.

She counted carefully again and again, and finally confirmed that a total of 28 pairs of shoes were sold this time.

If we calculate that we can earn one yuan per pair, that's a total of 28 yuan!

This amount is almost equivalent to her tuition fees.

"Mom! Can you hit me a couple of times? I feel like I'm dreaming."

As Lu Xiuye ​​spoke, she moved closer to Shen Cuifen.

Shen Cuifen didn't say much.

Instead, he handed the snakeskin bag containing the money to Lu Xiuwei, who was standing next to him.

Then he raised his hand and vigorously rubbed Lu Xiuye's cheeks a few times.

Lu Xiuye's little face was almost rolled into a dumpling filling, but she still said with a smile.

"It's true! I'm not dreaming! Mom, you're not out of your mind!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuifen was so angry that she wanted to go up and give her a good whack on the head.

"Your mother's the one who's mentally unstable!"

Shen Cuifen had just finished speaking.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong with what she had said.

The mother and her two daughters burst into laughter, unable to contain their joy.

Just as they were laughing happily, a deep voice suddenly came from behind them.

"What the hell are you guys up to? What's in that snakeskin bag?!"

Shen Cuifen was so nervous that her heart almost stopped, and her chest pounded rapidly.

A cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from his back, soaking his clothes.

She gripped the object in her hand tightly, her eyes darting around as she quickly made her worst-case scenario plan.

Judging from the noise, they probably ran into a patrol of urban management officers.

These people are notoriously hard-hearted and ruthless.

If caught, the consequences range from confiscation of belongings to detention, fines, or even being taken to the police station for several days.

Shen Cuifen's heart tightened.

How could I be so unlucky!

Running a small business is never easy.

They work from dawn till dusk, braving wind and sun, relying on this little skill to support their family.

And then, of all times, someone bumped into him.

Without a second thought, she quickly turned around and whispered to her two daughters hiding behind her, "When I yell 'Run!', you two run forward immediately. Don't look back at me, and don't stop!"

Both daughters are quite young; one is still in school, and the other just dropped out to help out.

Upon hearing this, he immediately shook his head in a state of tension and fear.

They absolutely refused to leave their mother behind and run away; how could that be allowed!

What if Mom gets arrested?

Shen Cuifen was so anxious that fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Listen to Mom!"

Her tone became more serious.

Time was of the essence, and not a moment could be wasted; she had no further explanation.

The eldest daughter, Lu Xiuwei, is not yet married, and the youngest daughter, Lu Xiuye, is still in school.

If the two of them were arrested, not only would their reputations be ruined.

Her future life would be ruined, which was the last thing Shen Cuifen wanted to see.

As long as they can get away first.

When the time comes, I'll just throw this bag of shoe soles into the big river in front of me, and then there will be no evidence left.

Even if they detain you, it won't do any good; at most, they'll scold you or fine you a little money.

It's much better than the whole family going down together.

Just as she was about to give the signal to "run".

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from behind.

"Auntie, were you frightened?"

The voice carried a hint of smugness.

"Who told you to beat me up earlier? This time I've gotten my revenge!"

Upon hearing this tone, Shen Cuifen was momentarily stunned.

The owner of that voice quickly came to mind.

Qu Dong!

Shen Cuifen turned around and saw Qu Dong standing there, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up.

So it was this kid who was up to no good!

They weren't urban management officers at all!

Shen Cuifen was startled, but then relaxed.

The younger sister, Lu Xiuye, had already rushed over angrily, stomping her feet as she went, and shouted, "Qu Dong! Are you crazy? You almost scared me to death!"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Qu Dong's ear.

Her ear turned bright red immediately after she pinched it.

His entire face was distorted from the tearing, and Qu Dong cried out in pain.

"My little devil, I was wrong, okay? You almost ripped my ears off!"
