After a pause, the unlucky fellow added, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to have this bunch of garlic."

You can keep the paper I just gave you and exchange it for this bunch of garlic.

This is exactly what you wanted.

"No way! You gave me the paper willingly, why are you offering it in exchange?"

Since you're a new store, we naturally have to give you something free.

"Yes, we delivered the paper, but we didn't deliver the garlic. You stole it yourself. Isn't that robbery?"

"......"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged and elderly women who had followed suit quickly put the garlic back.

What they said is true; they didn't offer to give it away, but they still took it by force, which is indeed robbery.

"Fine, you young man, you're bullying an old lady! I'm not going to live anymore! I'm not going to live anymore!" Seeing that everyone was siding with the shop owner, the old woman had no choice but to pretend to be suicidal, grabbing her basket and banging it against a pillar in the shop.

Upon seeing this, the unlucky fellow hurriedly put his body in front of him, only to be knocked backward several times.

At the critical moment, it was Song who gently reached out and pulled him back, preventing him from bleeding on the spot.

"Qingqing, are you alright!" The unlucky guy immediately pushed the old lady aside and went to Song Qingqing's side to check if she was okay when he realized that it was Song Qingqing who had pulled him.

But Song Qingqing refused, saying, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Seeing that Song Qingqing was indeed fine, the unlucky guy was finally relieved.

His expression changed abruptly in the next instant.

A pair of alluring peach blossom eyes stared directly at the middle-aged woman.

“We open a shop, and you can buy vegetables if you want. If you don’t want to, we won’t take your money away.”

We're doing a mutually agreeable transaction.

But if you try to forcibly take it from me, I will absolutely not agree.

These words, coupled with the unlucky guy's stern expression, truly shocked everyone present.

"However, today is the opening day of our new store."

Since everyone has been so supportive, for the next three days, you can pick up a clove of garlic to take home after you go grocery shopping.

The atmosphere immediately eased as soon as the unlucky guy said that, and everyone realized that he knew how to handle things.

Many busybodies even introduced potential partners to the unfortunate man.

"Young man, how old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? Would you like me to introduce you to one?"

“I have two daughters who are ready to get married! If you don’t have a partner, young man, you can consider my daughters first.”

"......"

Seeing this, Song Guoqiang had to admit that he had died on the beach.

"He is better than me."

Hearing this, Song Qingqing smiled and said, "Uncle Guoqiang, you're doing great too. You've taken good care of my vegetable garden. I hope that the vegetables will be ready for harvest soon."

"Don't worry! Your uncle may not have many other skills, but he's good at farming."

A farmer for life, he will never let you down. When it comes to farming, that's Song Guoqiang's forte.

But in terms of management skills, he was indeed inferior to the unlucky fellow.

"As long as we work together and believe in the future, we can definitely go further." Seeing how the unlucky guy handled things methodically, Song Qingqing suddenly felt more confident about the future.

She desperately needs a capable assistant like that.

"Where do you want to go?" This was the first time Song Guoqiang realized Song Qingqing's ambition.

He looked extremely surprised.

"At least we need to get out of Zhongtang County first, go to Huangcheng, and then go to the whole country." Song Qingqing put her hands behind her back and spoke seriously about her plans for the future.

Upon hearing her say this, Song Guoqiang immediately expressed his concern: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be enough to grow vegetables just from this one base!"

The whole country?

What beautiful words, but given their current situation, it certainly won't work.

Putting aside everything else, the current vegetable plots are far from enough.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll find you a few more vegetable plots later and plant them all.”

"Yes, please keep an eye on the vegetable garden for me at all times, the more the better." Song Qingqing was very pleased that the other party was so helpful.

The first conversation ended there. The two stood at the shop entrance for a long time before finally feeling at ease.

"It seems like business at this store is stable. What are your plans for the next step?"

"Of course, we should open up all the residential areas in Zhongtang County first, and then go to the city." Song Qingqing wanted to use Zhongtang County as a base and then expand outwards.

"Then I need to hurry up and find a vegetable garden."

"There's no need to rush."

"......"

That evening, the new store closed for the day. The unlucky guy returned to Happy Street, rushed up to Song Qingqing, and asked in suspense, "Guess how much the new store's sales were today?"

Song Qingqing found it a little funny; having sold vegetables for so long, she could still estimate the approximate number.

"About a thousand and a half."

"How did you know?" the unlucky guy asked in surprise.

“I know exactly how many dishes you ordered.”

Oh right, he almost forgot that the food expenses were all paid through Song Qingqing's account.

"Can I have dinner with you today? I promise I'll eat quickly and won't make you take me home."

"good"

Meanwhile, Song Ping'an and Zhao Feifei also heard that Song Qingqing's new store was opening today.

The two were sitting in the shop marveling at how capable Song Qingqing had suddenly become.

In particular, Zhao Feifei, who used to look down on Song Qingqing, had to admit that Song Qingqing was indeed worth three of her family members.

They are truly capable.

A young girl can open a shop, and she's opened one after another.

"Sigh, I wish Qingqing were my daughter." After these days, Zhao Feifei also came to her senses.

In the past, she looked down on Song Qingqing because Song Qingqing always compared her daughter to an ugly woman.

Although it is still the same now, after experiencing the passing of her husband.

She realized that there were plenty of girls prettier than her daughter, and Song Qingqing wasn't the only one.

In the past, I was always looking for trouble.

Besides, he's becoming more and more capable, has made a name for himself, and is quite wealthy.

Even if she wanted to oppose her, she would only suffer the consequences.

Rather than doing that, it's better to follow behind her; maybe we'll even get some meat soup.

“Although she’s not your daughter, she’s your niece. As long as you treat her well in the future, she will forgive you.” Song Ping’an was very proud now. Song Qingqing had said that no matter whether she was his biological granddaughter or not, she would call him grandpa.

Thinking of this, he thanked himself countless times for speaking up for her a few times in the past.

If it weren't for that, she definitely wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

"Yes, I will. I was just not thinking clearly before. From now on, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter."

"When Qingshui and the others come back, I'll make sure they get along well and I'll never let them go against Qingqing again."

"That's right. By the way, they won't be able to come out until the end of the year!"

"yes!"
