Yang Yanzhou stood there, stunned, as if he had been placed on a high place, unable to go up or down.

I knew he shouldn't have brought his son.

Zhouzhou looked at him worriedly, "Dad, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he even stretched out his little hands to show that he really could do it.

"No need, Daddy can still carry me, Zhouzhou is very light." Large beads of sweat appeared on Yang Yanzhou's forehead, and his arms trembled slightly.

Lu Yun Shen gave him a long, thoughtful look and continued walking up to the third floor.

Yang Yanzhou gritted his teeth and strode after him, cursing his friend a thousand times in his heart.

But when he got to the third floor, he was stunned.

The railings upstairs were all in place, and Jiaojiao had already landed and was looking around, her little hand holding one of Lu Yunshen's fingers.

So you were just provoking him?

"Are the guest rooms upstairs?" Lu Qiuying asked suspiciously.

She noticed something odd about the place; it looked more like an art studio or something.

Lin Ziyan looked at the railing and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

“No.” Lu Yun Shen walked to her side and leaned against her.

Lu Qiuying, "..."

Can't I say another word?

She decided not to ask anymore; she would know once the renovation was complete.

After looking at the third floor, the group didn't linger and went straight home.

Meanwhile, the old ladies and aunties sitting under the big banyan tree in the village were chatting about the electronics market.

"I was nearby at the time, and several people actually returned the goods, and there was even a bit of a commotion," one of the women said while cracking sunflower seeds.

The cicadas chirped incessantly in the trees, but they did nothing to disturb the gossipy old ladies below.

"Could it be a quality issue? I won a radio in a raffle during the Dragon Boat Festival, and my grandson turns it on every day without any problems," Grandma Li said, fanning herself with a palm leaf fan as she waited.

Not long after returning to the village, the daughter-in-law found a job in the town. It was in a factory, with a high salary and a free meal.

She now stands up straight when chatting in the village.

"Tsk, Grandma Li, you're really good at holding back. You won the lottery and kept it to yourself for so long."

"It's not a quality issue, they said they thought it was too expensive."

Everyone eagerly chimed in, each offering their own opinion.

Granny Li spat out the sunflower seed shells. "Pah! Isn't it normal for imported goods to be expensive?"

“My daughter-in-law said that she used to work in Guangzhou and knows the prices there. The electronics stores there are relatively cheap.”

The other elderly women, oblivious to the wrinkles around their eyes, were simply grinning broadly.

The woman nodded. "That's right. Putting the price aside, the quality is unquestionable."

They continued chatting, from the electronics store to the seafood market, and everyone had a smile on their face.

If someone in the family makes money from this, they certainly won't say anything bad about it.

At most, they just compare whose job is easy and whose salary is high, indulging in idle chatter.

They didn't say it, but some people who overheard it didn't think so.

For example, Li Lijuan, who had just returned from Beijing on holiday, was practically overflowing with jealousy.

High price?

Li Lijuan carried the snakeskin bag, already having made up her mind.

Now is the time for the market to gradually open up, and those who disrupt market order or have problems with prices and quality will be strictly investigated and punished.

She sat down to rest on the other side of the banyan tree and looked up to see Lin Ziyan getting out of Lu Yunshen's car.

Li Lijuan was stunned, a pang of sadness welling up inside her. Why wasn't she the one being cared for?

Lin Ziyan has no parents, so how could she find such a good man?

She was studying in Beijing and had inquired about the Lu family. They were people who lived in a large compound, and she had no way of getting close to them.

Once, she deliberately went to wait at the Lianchao supermarket in Beijing, but before she even entered, she was so frightened by the bustling scene inside that her legs trembled and she couldn't move her feet.

A towel costs 2 yuan, which is more than her weekly food expenses.

She stood at the door looking at the prices, but could only stare helplessly.

"Why are you standing here like this, you little rascal?" Granny Li saw her and patted her back with her palm-leaf fan.

This is the daughter of her eldest son, Li Er. Grandma Li doesn't have a good impression of this granddaughter.

It wasn't because she was a granddaughter, but because of her mother, who cursed her every day, calling her a widow.

"Grandma, my things are too heavy, I need to rest for a bit." Li Lijuan snapped out of her thoughts and immediately lowered her head when she saw the sharp look in her eyes.

Grandma Li's lips twitched slightly as she thought to herself, "They say this little thing is heavy? When I was this age, I could carry a bag of rice weighing dozens of kilograms around everywhere."

She picked up the burlap sack with one hand, turned around, and frowned, saying, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Li Lijuan followed with her head drooping, then looked up and saw her grandmother carrying a snakeskin bag and walking briskly. She blinked.

Meanwhile, in the county town.

Wei Ting leaned against the truck, smoking a cigarette, looking at the man who wanted to return the goods with annoyance.

Only then did he realize something was wrong, so he looked at the man thoughtfully.

"Brother Wang, let's not mince words. You know we in the electronics store are honest in our business. So tell me the truth, what's the real reason for the return?"

Wei Ting was sincere and even offered a cigarette to the man in front of him.

The man's eyes darted around, clearly showing he was feeling guilty.

He personally ordered these appliances; he wouldn't have returned them if the other party hadn't offered such a low price—he couldn't bring himself to do it.

But it was almost a thousand yuan less, and he couldn't save face by paying that much, so he simply swallowed his pride and returned it.

"Because of the price?"

"Brother Wang, I'm just a worker. It's not easy for me to make this trip. You have to let me go back and give you an explanation, right?" Wei Ting continued, his eyes pleading.

The man who came with him was so shocked he almost fell over. He had been hanging around with Brother Ting for so long and had never seen him so humble.

The man was clearly at his breaking point and said, "Tingzai, don't blame me for being unfair, it's just that your appliances are more than twice as expensive as others."

"Who would turn down money? Let me tell you the truth, an electronics mall opened in the city, and all the appliances there are from Guangzhou. They're much cheaper than yours."

Wei Ting's lips twitched slightly, he nodded, exchanged a few polite words, and got into the car to drive back to the electronics store.

An electronics store opened in the city? They've been there several times but never heard of it.

"Sweet potato, do you believe what he said?" Wei Ting stepped on the gas and asked casually.

The two of them have been in charge of deliveries lately; otherwise, they would have been out doing business long ago.

They earned extra income from deliveries and didn't complain much.

But today, one or two people are returning their items, which is clearly not right.

There aren't any electronics stores in the city yet, but they might be preparing to open one.

However…” Sweet Potato’s eyes darted around several times, and he hesitated.

Since the electronics store opened, they've all made a lot of money and are now thinking about more things.

"Speak your mind, or shut up. Why are you pretending to be profound in front of me?" Wei Ting retorted immediately.

He was anxious and had nowhere to vent his anger.

Sweet Potato swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "This is Brother Ting's true nature."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but so many returns at the same time, could it be that our delivery information has been leaked?" Sweet Potato was a little uneasy, but in his heart he was almost certain.

To put it bluntly, someone is deliberately causing trouble, and may even be trying to start a price war.

"Hiss..."

Wei Ting braked suddenly, and the two of them leaned forward.

He bumped his head on the ground, wincing in pain...
