Chapter 225 A windfall!!!
Lu Zhanlin looked at Chu Yue, "Ayue, what I want to protect are the honest and kind people in this land. Those people just now were not."
Chu Yue's pupils trembled slightly. She never expected to hear these words from Lu Zhanlin.
I just feel that the sunlight falling on Lu Zhanlin today is more shining than ever.
If the love at first sight on the train was just an appreciation of Lu Zhanlin's appearance, then at this moment, what she saw in her eyes was the complete Lu Zhanlin, a man worthy of her love.
Under Chu Yue's admiring gaze, Lu Zhanlin seemed to know what Chu Yue was thinking, and felt a little helpless.
He whispered, "Ayue, I'm not as pedantic as you think."
Lu Zhanlin's sense of justice will not allow him to shield evil people, but he will not let any bad guy go either.
Zhou Genzhu is a sinister villain, but he has already been punished. As for Zhang Guoan... Lu Zhanlin only belongs to the army, and they are not in the same system. Lu Zhanlin will report back after he returns and let someone more suitable to deal with these people come forward to prevent these parasites from staying.
Chu Yue understood Lu Zhanlin's implication and was about to speak, "I——"
Suddenly.
"careful!"
Lu Zhanlin quickly reached behind Chu Yue's head and grasped something tightly in his palm.
Chu Yue was startled and turned around quickly, only to see a red table leg behind her head.
It was a square octagonal table, very large and heavy.
As mentioned earlier, many shops on this street have begun to renovate. Since they want to have a brand new look, they naturally have to throw away some old items. This shop happens to be dealing with these.
Some old chairs and tables were thrown out of the store, including this red-painted eight-immortals table.
Because the eight-immortals table was so big, it took a strong young man all his strength to lift it. The legs of the table were sticking up in the air, and the table blocked the young man's sight, so he didn't see Chu Yue on the road for a while.
If Lu Zhanlin hadn't stopped it in time, the table leg would have almost hit Chu Yue's head.
A quite thrilling scene.
Chu Yue turned around and saw such a huge table. She was so scared that her heart trembled and she felt like she had survived a disaster.
The strong young man realized that he was almost in trouble. He quickly put the table on the ground and apologized to Chu Yue repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was blocked and didn't see you."
Lu Zhanlin had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, his expression was not very good.
Lu Yuanbao held Chu Yue's hand tightly and was also frightened.
Seeing the young man sweating profusely from work, with a simple and honest face and a sincere apology, Chu Yue waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I'm not hurt. Be more careful next time."
The strong young man nodded hurriedly, "I will be careful next time, I definitely will."
Chu Yue, who was almost hit, didn't care, but the proprietress in the house heard the noise, came out in a hurry, and scolded the strong young man.
"How do you do your work? I asked you to move some furniture, but you were so slow and dragged your feet, you almost bumped into someone! Are you stalling on purpose to extort money from me? I'm telling you, no way! We agreed on a dollar, so it's a dollar! Hurry up and move these things, there's still a lot of stuff!"
The proprietress was about forty or fifty years old, tall and thin, with a shrewd look. She pointed at the strong young man, and her sharp fingernails almost poked him.
Chu Yue looked at it and frowned.
The strong young man was called Zhao Dahu. He smiled gratefully at Chu Yue, turned around and went back into the store to continue moving things.
Chu Yue glanced inside the store. There were a lot of things there, all of which were old and broken furniture. The old furniture was made of real wood, so it was very heavy.
It was just the strong young man, busy inside and outside the shop, and being ordered around by the shrewd lady boss.
I had to move so many things, but they only paid me one dollar. It was really hard-earned money.
Chu Yue retracted her gaze and saw that Lu Zhanlin was still frowning. She thought he was still worried about what happened just now, so she explained, "I'm fine. The table leg didn't hit me. Let's go."
Lu Zhanlin frowned and took a few steps, then suddenly whispered, "That table leg is hollow, it shouldn't be that heavy."
When Chu Yue heard his words, she stopped abruptly.
She grabbed Lu Zhanlin and repeated, "Zhanlin, what did you just say? The table legs are hollow? Are you sure?"
Lu Zhanlin nodded firmly, "It's hollow, there's no doubt about it."
When Lu Zhanlin held the legs of the Eight Immortals Table, he was so worried about Chu Yue that the strength in his palms was unusual.
When you squeeze solid wood and hollow wood in your palm, the feeling is usually no different, but you can tell the difference if you use enough force.
Hollow...
It's hollow...
Could it be... a windfall!!!
Chu Yue's eyes were shining continuously.
She didn't have time to explain in detail, and left a message to Lu Zhanlin, "You and Yuanbao wait here for me, I'll go back and take a look," and then walked towards the shop she had just been to.
The proprietress with a shrewd look is called Liu Jinfeng.
As soon as she saw Chu Yue coming back, she started yelling, "Little girl, I heard everything just now. You said you weren't hit and nothing happened. Don't even think about extorting money from me again."
"Madam, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to extort money from you. I said I didn't hit you, and I won't change my words."
"Then why did you come back?" Liu Jinfeng looked at Chu Yue and softened her tone slightly.
Chu Yue pulled Liu Jinfeng aside to chat. She casually pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and placed them in Liu Jinfeng's hand. Then, she pointed to a nearby grocery store and said, "Boss, look at that grocery store. I own it. If you open a store on this street, we'll be neighbors. I'd like to meet you. My name is Chu Yue."
Liu Jinfeng widened her eyes slightly, "Is that your shop?"
"Yeah." Chu Yue pointed at Lu Zhanlin who was not far away, "My lover, my child."
When Liu Jinfeng saw Lu Zhanlin's tall and strong figure and the military uniform he was wearing, the guard on her face immediately disappeared and she immediately changed her tone, "Big sister! We are neighbors, of course we have to get to know each other. My name is Liu Jinfeng."
Chu Yue was sweet-mouthed and immediately called out "Sister Jinfeng". She also praised the name Liu Jinfeng, saying that it sounded like she was from a wealthy family.
After a careful conversation, Chu Yue understood most of the situation. Liu Jinfeng was from a small county town nearby. The couple had been doing business with their skills for thirty or forty years. They heard that the policies in the city had changed. After running a small business for decades and accumulating a lot of savings, they wanted to try their luck in the city, just in case they could make a lot of money.
She was similar to Chu Yue before. She looked around the city and finally fell in love with this street.
Liu Jinfeng said cheerfully, "When the cake shop opened this morning, there were so many people. I saw it all. This opening will be busy for at least seven days. I missed such a great opportunity, so I was anxious to open the shop and do business, and quickly called people to move things in."
