After hearing Lin Qing's explanation, Lin Changyuan couldn't help but praise him. He had always known that his brother-in-law was a top soldier with excellent skills, but he never expected that he was also a scientific researcher.

Seeing Lin Changyuan's admiring gaze, Gu Nanxun immediately knew what he was thinking, so he explained, "What are you thinking! I don't know anything about scientific research, it's just that I happen to have such talent under my command."

"That's also your skill, and it's quite remarkable!"

...

After chatting for a while, Lin Qing prepared to take Wang Sufeng to Huai Shu Street. Lin Changyuan, who had nothing else to do, also planned to go along.

"Mom, why don't you go too? I don't think you've ever been before! I'm staying home with the kids today."

Seeing that Dong Xiulan was also somewhat eager to try, Zhao Xi suggested with a smile.

"Okay, Xixi, you stay home and take care of the kids, and I'll take Mom out for a walk."

Lin Qing could also see that Dong Xiulan was interested, so she smiled and said.

Huai Shu Street wasn't far from where they lived; it took them less than 20 minutes to walk there together.

From afar, Lin Qing could see the two women busy at the shop entrance, with several young ladies gathered around the stall.

"Qingqing, what brings you here!"

After finishing her work, Zhao Chun's wife looked up and saw Lin Qing and his group. She then asked them with a smile.

"I brought my sister-in-law here to learn!"

Lin Qing replied with a smile, then turned to Wang Sufeng and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go and help sell clothes too!"

Wang Sufeng nodded in agreement. Watching from the sidelines was definitely not as effective as learning by doing it herself.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, this is my second sister-in-law. Let her help you out here for a while, and you can also give her some pointers on selling clothes."

Seeing that his second sister-in-law had agreed, Lin Qing said to Zhao Chun's wife.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun's wife readily agreed, "Don't worry, leave your sister-in-law to me. I will definitely teach her how to do it."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Sufeng joined the ranks of clothing sellers.

Seeing this, Lin Qing led Dong Xiulan and the others to visit the two shops she had just renovated.

"I can really open the store by the end of the year!"

Looking at his sister's two beautifully decorated shops, Lin Changyuan couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, it's been confirmed, and it won't change."

Gu Nanxun nodded and said.

Lin Changyuan looked thoughtful upon hearing this: "Little sister, could you help your second brother take a look later? If you find a suitable one, I'll buy a shop for your second sister-in-law too."

Lin Changyuan looked at Wang Sufeng outside the door and said that since his wife married him, she has been taking care of everything at home. It is rare for her to be interested in anything, so he must support her.

"Oh dear! I forgot to tell you, your parents saved up 6,000 yuan for you! We only used 3,000 yuan to buy you a house, and I added a little more to buy a shop for you and your older brother. It's right where you live now, the frontmost two-story shop by the river. We'll go to the housing authority together to transfer the ownership on Monday when they open."

Upon hearing her second brother's words, Lin Qing quickly explained that she had been so focused on talking about the courtyard house that she had forgotten to mention the shops.

"Nonsense, how can I let you pay for it? How much did you add? Your second brother will make up for it."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Changyuan's face hardened, and he spoke with a serious expression.

Dong Xiulan also looked at Lin Qing with disapproval.

"Okay, I didn't add much. The courtyard house you're living in now was bought for 2800 yuan. Your eldest brother's was a gift from someone else. Since the layout is the same as yours, let's say it was also 2800 yuan! The shops were bought as a package deal, 4000 yuan each. So I didn't add much for you, just a few hundred yuan. My second brother has helped me a lot over the years, how can it be just a few hundred yuan? Does my second brother have to be so calculating with me?"

The two shops Lin Qing bought for her eldest and second eldest brothers were on the same street as the shop she and Zhao Xi bought together, and were also recommended by the same old man who sold the shops.

When the old man sold the two shops to Lin Qing and Zhao Xi, his friends were quite envious. Everyone thought that the old man's decision to sell the shops and then buy a small house was particularly wise, and they all asked him who he sold them to and whether the other party wanted to buy a house.

Later, when the old man saw Lin Qing again, he casually asked about it, and as a result, Lin Qing took in three more families.

"That's not how it works. The money I spend on you is a token of my appreciation as your older brother. It's meant for you anyway."

Lin Changyuan frowned upon hearing this and said disapprovingly.

"Then I'll add some money for you to buy shops. It's my way of showing my love as your younger sister. Are you going to refuse, Second Brother?"

Hearing his second brother say this, Lin Qing also spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lin Changyuan looked helplessly at Lin Qing, then turned to Gu Nanxun: "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

In fact, Lin Changyuan was more worried that Gu Nanxun would have objections, after all, this was not a small amount of money.

“In our family, Qingqing is in charge and makes the decisions. Besides, Second Brother, we are family, there’s no need to be so formal.”

Gu Nanxun understood Lin Changyuan's meaning and said with a smile.

Lin Changyuan carefully examined Gu Nanxun's expression, which remained unchanged as always.

He looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He could only sigh helplessly. He had been judging others by his own petty standards. His brother-in-law wasn't a stingy person. Oh well, he'd make it up to him later when he had the chance.

After browsing the shops, the group strolled around the streets for a while before taking Wang Sufeng home.

"How are you feeling, Second Sister-in-law?"

Lin Qing asked with a smile on the way.

"I think it's pretty simple!"

Wang Sufeng said excitedly.

"It wasn't difficult to begin with, and now is the time of economic recovery, so everything sells well."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

Wang Sufeng nodded excitedly.

After returning home, Wang Sufeng, along with Lin Changyuan and the children, took the clothes she had chosen and said goodbye to Lin Qing and Dong Xiulan.

Pingping and An'an had a great time playing with their older brothers and sisters all day, and they were reluctant to part ways.

"How about letting Pingping and An'an play here for a couple of days? They don't have to go to school now anyway, and they can sleep with Shishi at night!"

Pingping and An'an were reluctant to part, and Dong Xiulan was also a little reluctant, so she made a suggestion.

"Okay, okay, let Pingping and An'an sleep with me tonight!"

Lin Shishi jumped for joy upon hearing this.

"Peace and safety, do you want to stay?"

Wang Sufeng thought for a moment. She still needed to sell clothes when she got back, so it would be even better if the child wanted to stay.

"Yes, we want to stay and play with Sister Shishi and Sister Ziyao."

Pingping and An'an's eyes lit up when they heard Wang Sufeng's words, and they said excitedly.
