Sun Ersao's eyes were like a poisoned knife, and she wished she could eat these "monsters" of the Lu family alive.

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: What is this old witch doing again?

However, I don’t have time to deal with her now. The props are the top priority!

She cleared her throat and clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back: "Ahem, everyone, let's stop for a moment. Props! Props! Take them all out and let me see them!"

Everyone hurriedly brought out the "props". Shen Qiqi took a glance and was stunned: That's it?

That’s it?

A few broken wooden sticks, some rags, and a few rotten straw hats with missing parts!

This isn't a prop at all; it's a massive garbage recycling site!

"This...this...is too shabby!" Shen Qiqi felt her forehead throbbing, her brows furrowed, as if a bunch of smelly socks were stuffed into her, and her heart felt cold.

If this were to go on stage, even the old ladies in the next village would probably laugh their heads off.

"Third sister-in-law, is this still usable? I think it's okay!" Second uncle's wife said indifferently, as if to say that the weather was really nice today.

The eldest uncle and his wife even directly criticized: "I said this show is unreliable. Look, it's a mess and a waste of time!"

Lu Qing quickly stepped forward and soothed her, "It's okay, Qiqi, let's think of another way."

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

No, don’t panic, don’t lose your composure!

She immediately decided: "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and try our luck!"

The group came to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town in a mighty procession, but reality gave them a heavy blow.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods and touching her empty pockets, Shen Qiqi felt like a little chicken with fate strangled by the throat.

"Oh my, this ribbon is so expensive! And this headdress is even more outrageous!" The uncle's wife started to mutter again, "What did I say? Stop it, why don't you go home and get some sleep?!"

The second uncle's wife also hung her head and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. I knew it would be like this."

Seeing everyone's dejected look, Shen Qiqi felt her head was even bigger, as if ten thousand ducks were making noise at the same time, making her head hurt.

Do I really have to give up?

No, never!

She couldn't believe that she, a modern-age woman, couldn't handle a few props!

"Let's go to Aunt Zhang's house!" Shen Qiqi said firmly.

Shen Qiqi led everyone to the door of Aunt Zhang's house in a mighty manner.

Aunt Zhang's family is notoriously stingy in the village. Her warehouse is filled with all kinds of "treasures", but getting her to take them out is harder than climbing to the sky.

"Aunt Zhang, are you home? We are from the Lu family and want to discuss something with you!" Shen Qiqi shouted at the top of her voice, her voice loud and clear, like a small trumpet, instantly penetrating the courtyard wall.

With a creak, the wooden door opened and Aunt Zhang poked her head out with an impatient look on her face. Her wrinkles piled up like a small mountain, making her look like an old witch in a cartoon.

"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Shen Qiqi quickly put on a smile, as enthusiastic as a salesperson: "Aunt Zhang, it's like this, our village is going to hold a cultural performance, and we need some props. I heard that you have a lot of treasures in your warehouse, can you lend them to us?"

When Aunt Zhang heard this, her eyes widened like two copper bells. "Borrow? Humph, wishful thinking! Those things of mine are all treasures. If you touch them, you'll have to pay me!"

"Oh, Aunt Zhang, please help us. We promise to return it after use and will definitely not damage it." Shen Qiqi used all her tricks, coaxing and begging, and almost knelt down and called her "Grandma".

"No, no, get out of here! Don't try to take advantage of my baby!" Aunt Zhang slammed the door shut, making Shen Qiqi's head buzz.

Shen Qiqi felt her heart sink, like a steamed bun just out of the oven falling into an ice hole, instantly chilling her to the bone.

She looked up at the sky and said to herself: These days, borrowing a prop is harder than climbing to the sky!

This old lady is really stubborn and is simply an "old stubborn person"!

Just when Shen Qiqi was feeling dejected, Lu Qing came back in a hurry with Big Brother Lu's daughter.

"Qiqi, don't be discouraged! I'll take my daughter to find Carpenter Liu!" Lu Qing said excitedly, his brows beaming, like a general who had won a battle.

"Carpenter Liu? Can he do it?" Shen Qiqi asked doubtfully, thinking: Isn't Carpenter Liu only good at making furniture?

Could it be that he can also make props?

Lu Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you get there!"

It turned out that Lu Qing took Brother Lu's daughter to find Carpenter Liu in the village.

The little girl is pretty, with sparkling eyes and great talent for acting.

Carpenter Liu was reluctant to help at first, but after seeing the little girl's performance, he was immediately moved by her. In addition, after Lu Qing's constant persuasion, Carpenter Liu finally gave in and agreed to help make some simple props.

"Really? That's great! Lu Qing, you're really my lucky star!" Shen Qiqi almost jumped up in surprise when she heard the news. She felt as excited as if she had won the lottery.

Lu Qing touched her head and smiled indulgently: "Silly girl, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything."

"Let's go see what Carpenter Liu has accomplished first!" Shen Qiqi said impatiently. When she thought about getting out of the predicament of having no props, she felt full of strength.

When everyone arrived at Carpenter Liu's house, they saw him busy at work, with sawdust flying and some semi-finished products on the ground.

Although they were just some simple wooden frames and colored paper, Shen Qiqi felt that they were like treasures, sparkling and shining.
