Chapter 144 Distinguished Guests! This is a distinguished guest!
Zhou Genzhu kept spouting vicious words, and Chu Yue couldn't bear to listen any longer. She silently covered Lu Yuanbao's ears to prevent the young Lu Yuanbao from being poisoned by the disgusting and greasy middle-aged man.
As for Ye Zhaodi...
There was a slight twitch on the girl's face, especially after Zhou Genzhu mentioned that he had killed her parents, her eyes were obviously shaken.
But Ye Zhaodi gritted her teeth, held the scissors tightly in her hand, and stared at Zhou Genzhu with all her strength!
She wants money and doesn't care about anything else.
As long as she had money, she could buy flour, rice and potatoes, and her brother would not starve to death.
A few minutes later.
Zhou Genzhu searched for ten yuan from the small wooden box and said to Ye Zhaodi with a sneer, "You beggar, take your money!"
Crash...
Zhou Genzhu didn't think about paying the money properly at all. Instead, he wanted to embarrass Ye Zhaodi and get back the humiliation he suffered, so he deliberately threw the scattered ten yuan on the ground.
One-cent and two-cent banknotes and one-cent and two-cent coins fell to the ground with a clatter.
Ye Zhaodi was obviously angry, and her hand holding the scissors tightly trembled.
This was exactly what Zhou Genzhu wanted. He laughed triumphantly, "You want money? Now I'm giving you the money, pick it up! You stinky beggar! Go pick it up!"
Ye Zhaodi's face turned from red at first to pale blue later. The girl who had been very eloquent before was now speechless.
Because she needs money.
This is probably the reason why people say that even a penny can kill a hero.
Ye Zhaodi didn't want to be a hero, she just wanted her brother to have enough food to eat, so she picked up whatever she wanted! Picking up trash was also money she could spend!
She walked out from behind the counter, squatted on her knees, and used her swollen fingers to pick up the loose change scattered on the ground, one cent, two cents... not a single cent could be lost!
Seeing Ye Zhaodi being insulted, Zhou Genzhu still refused to give up.
While Ye Zhaodi was busy picking up the money and couldn't be on guard anymore, he raised his foot from behind and kicked Ye Zhaodi on the back, "You damn girl, you plague god, get out of my shop right now."
The dirty feet were about to fall on Ye Zhaodi.
Boom!
Suddenly, a stick stretched out from the side and hit Zhou Genzhu on the side of his knee.
That position happened to be a training spot. Zhou Genzhu's right leg suddenly became numb and twitched. He could not exert any strength at all and could hardly stand. He grabbed the edge of the counter in a panic to avoid falling to the ground.
Ye Zhaodi and Zhou Genzhu both looked up in surprise. The two people who had just had a fierce quarrel only noticed at this time that there was one more person in the store, and a child.
Chu Yue was holding a wooden stick in her hand, which was actually a broom placed aside, and she was using it as a dog-beating stick.
She threw the broom away, lowered her head to look at Ye Zhaodi, and smiled at her faintly.
But when she looked up at Zhou Genzhu again, the smile on her face disappeared, and there was only a cold and sighing look in her eyes.
She sneered and said, "Boss, you wouldn't hit anyone if you stopped doing business, right?"
Zhou Genzhu squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Yue. Judging from her dress, Chu Yue looked like an ordinary person, but she had an extraordinary temperament. The child next to her was clean and wrapped in a furry scarf and hat, which were obviously made of high-quality wool and were not cheap.
In addition, Chu Yue’s bicycle is placed outside the store. It is brand new. Nowadays, some families cannot afford to buy a bicycle even if they have the money.
After all, Zhou Genzhu has been doing business for decades and has met all kinds of customers, so he has some ability to judge people.
He changed his harsh tone towards Ye Zhaodi in an instant, revealing a flattering smile. He asked enthusiastically, "Comrade, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself by disobeying my subordinates. Are you buying cloth? Or are you going to make clothes? Please come in, please come in."
Zhou Genzhu wanted to kick Ye Zhaodi away to prevent her from affecting his business, but in front of Chu Yue, he had to pretend to be a good guy.
"I don't make clothes." Chu Yue waved the red paper in her hand, "This is it."
It has been almost a month since Zhou Genzhu posted the red paper saying "The shop is for rent". From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, not only has no one been willing to take it over, but no one has even come to inquire about it.
Now Chu Yue actually came to the door on her own initiative.
Distinguished guest! This is a distinguished guest!
Zhou Genzhu immediately asked Chu Yue to sit down and talk.
Chu Yue walked into the store, but Lu Yuanbao didn't follow her in. Instead, he walked to Ye Zhaodi's side, squatted down and said, "I'll help you pick it up."
He stretched out his little hand, picked up every penny carefully, and put it in Ye Zhaodi's hand.
Chu Yue saw it but did not stop it.
Ye Zhaodi looked at Lu Yuanbao in surprise, her pupils trembling uneasily. The little girl who was not afraid of going to jail before was now nervous and at a loss.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "Thank...thank you."
Inside the store.
After Chu Yue sat down, she looked around carefully. It was a decades-old shop. It had probably never been renovated since it was built, and some places were dilapidated. Fortunately, the whole shop was quite spacious. In addition to the counter in the front, two more shelves could be placed. It also faced south, so the lighting was good and the feng shui was good.
Chu Yue wants to open a grocery store. In the future, it will be a "small supermarket", so she pays more attention to space and lighting. A bright place can attract more customers.
She was satisfied with the store as a whole, but she opened her mouth with one sentence.
"Boss, how long has your shop been here? The beams are crooked."
"No, no, no..." Zhou Genzhu forced a smile and began to chatter away like a father. "I've been doing business here for decades. This location is absolutely great. It's a good feng shui spot, and customers flock to it."
Chu Yue hit the nail on the head, "Business is good, why are you closing down?"
"I'm... I'm going to change my career! Switch to another big business." Zhou Genzhu absolutely refused to admit that he was incompetent. The money he earned every month was not enough to pay the rent. He was losing money every month and lived on his wife's dowry.
Zhou Genzhu continued to talk non-stop, "Comrade, look at the location of this store. It's right at a crossroads, with a lot of people coming and going. No matter what kind of store you open, there will definitely be a lot of customers."
——"Isn't this place three or four shops away from the intersection?"
"Did you see that shop up ahead being renovated? That's the Pei family's shop. As soon as they finish the renovations, the whole street will be bustling! It's definitely the most prosperous place in the city!"
——"I just don't know when the Pei family's shop will be ready. It might take half a year before it opens."
"If you like my shop, I'll give you the tables and chairs for free! It's free, I won't charge you a penny."
——"I'm tired of carrying these old tables and chairs with missing parts home to use as firewood."
Every time Zhou Genzhu said something, Chu Yue would retort, still using that light and obviously contemptuous tone, not giving Zhou Genzhu any face at all.
