Chapter 409 The Children Have Grown Up
"Do you know what's wrong these days?" Lele looked at them.
"What's wrong?" Ning Ning asked anxiously.
An An also seemed to be thinking about something.
"I didn't count the money!" Lele recalled, "It's been weird since the day Dad came. The most important thing is that Mom and the others didn't count the money when they came back these few days."
Because it is not very convenient to deposit and withdraw money now, Lin Xia and her friends would count the money every day when they came back, and the children would come over to watch. However, after coming back these few days, they did not see any money counting.
"Oh, that's right!" Several people suddenly realized.
Lele said firmly: "So, there must be something wrong in the store!"
Several people had no objection to this statement. After looking at each other, they said, "Let's go to the store and see what's going on."
After the children discussed it, they began to pack up and prepare to go to the store.
Lin Xia quickly walked to the store entrance and saw many clothing stores around. Then she decided to visit them one by one.
The clothing stores here sell the most fashionable and popular styles on the street. Even though they are so popular that they are everywhere on the street, there is no shortage of customers.
There were not only men's clothing stores, but also many women's clothing stores and mixed clothing stores. Lin Xia walked around.
She was not sure whether these bosses recognized her face, but she recognized that several of them had been to her store to consume. They felt a little embarrassed when they saw her, but they did not feel guilty.
Lin Xia responded with a faint smile, and there were only two clothing stores left.
The owner of one of the stores that sold mixed men's and women's clothing was a man. When Lin Xia entered the store, she didn't see the owner. She was about to take a look at the clothes before leaving, when she noticed a burning gaze coming from behind.
Lin Xia turned around naturally using her clothes, and saw the boss looking at her in a daze, as if he didn't expect her to be here.
"Come here...what do you want to buy?" the boss blurted out, then seemed to react and changed his tone.
Lin Xia's mind moved, and she looked at the boss steadily, with a calm expression on her face.
Seeing Lin Xia's expression, the boss's eyes turned unfriendly and he angrily said, "Are you going to buy clothes or not? If not, leave now."
After saying that, he waved his hand, as if he was urging Lin Xia to go out quickly.
No! There must be something fishy going on here!
Lin Xia instantly felt that the boss's behavior was unnatural. Thinking of the previous clues, Lin Xia immediately understood what was going on.
But those people in the police station have not confessed yet, and Lin Xia cannot rely on her own guesses as evidence.
"Go away, go away!" The boss had a face full of anger and unhappiness. This fierce attitude did not seem like he was chasing away an ordinary customer.
Lin Xia returned to the store with a full mind. Lu Yuxiu and his guards were busy with the hooks behind the characters, and Yang Hongmei was hanging clothes. Some clothes had been damaged before and could not be sold, so they could only be used as samples or worn by themselves.
"You're here?" Lu Yuxiu noticed something was wrong with Lin Xia as soon as he saw her. "What's wrong?"
Lin Xia organized her words and said, "Tell me, why did someone yell at me and chase me away when he saw me?"
"It's possible that he feels guilty and knows what you do." Lu Yuxiu explained: "As for driving you away, it means that he doesn't want to see you."
Lin Xia seemed to understand something immediately after hearing this. "Just now, I walked by and entered a store. When the boss saw me, he panicked and felt a little guilty."
Lu Yuxiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and instantly knew that Lin Xia had found the target, "Which store is it?"
"What are you going to do? You can't go fighting." Hearing this, Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu nervously, fearing that he would impulsively go looking for someone to settle the score.
Seeing that Lin Xia was frightened, Lu Yuxiu comforted her: "It's okay, I won't fight."
He just wants to have a good conversation with people.
Then Lu Yuxiu took the dark-skinned boy out.
"Why do you think they are doing this?" Yang Hongmei also heard this and became very angry.
Lin Xia shook her head. She didn't really understand what the other party was thinking. If these were stores of the same style, Lin Xia could still explain it as a business war between the two.
But it is clear that the two people run completely different shops, and they cannot be considered competitors at all.
"Mother!"
"Mom! We're here!"
Suddenly, there were several voices coming from outside the door. Lin Xia turned around and saw the little kids at home standing at the door of the store.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xia looked at the children in surprise. Ever since they found out that men were not allowed in the store, they rarely came to the store.
He had been mumbling about what he was going to do at home all day, and now he suddenly showed up, catching Lin Xia off guard.
"Let's take a look." Lele answered and looked around. In an instant, he saw that there was no customer in the store.
It's nothing like when it first opened, when it was packed with people and people were so busy that they were dizzy.
"Mom, did something happen in the store?" Lele grabbed Lin Xia's arm and asked.
Lin Xia didn't want to tell the children about these things at first, but when she saw that they were all looking at her with concern, she suddenly softened her heart.
"How abominable!" Lele said angrily.
The big and small soldiers were also full of anger, "Where are they?"
An An looked at Lin Xia with concern and asked, "Mom, are you hurt?"
Lele came to his senses and looked up and down to see if Lin Xia was injured.
"I'm not hurt." Lin Xia thought that she was just a little embarrassed, and the other party might be paralyzed on one side, so she really couldn't tell where she was injured.
The sight of the children angrily accusing the person behind the scenes, wishing they could beat that person up, made Lin Xia feel warm inside.
That night, Lu Yuxiu came back very late again. Before going to bed, Lin Xia held her arm around her neck and whispered to Lu Yuxiu about what happened during the day, with a sigh in her tone.
"The children have all grown up!" The little brats can now protect their mother. Lin Xia still feels very touched when she thinks of what the children said.
Lu Yuxiu glanced at Lin Xia who was deeply moved, and was too embarrassed to shatter her fantasy. Those brats would only be beaten if they walked out.
Thinking of what Lele said, Lu Yuxiu suddenly felt that these brats should strengthen their training, otherwise, when they go out with their small bodies, it is hard to say who will protect whom.
Lin Xia hugged Lu Yuxiu's hand, clasped their hands together, and was about to go to sleep when she saw a small wound on the back of the man's hand.
“How did you do this?” Lin Xia thought Lu Yuxiu was helping in the store.
Lu Yuxiu glanced at the back of his hand. It was a wound left accidentally, and he hadn't paid any attention to it. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't ask any further questions, he felt relieved.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Such injuries are commonplace for him. He often gets such injuries after daily training. He never cares about them, but Lin Xia takes them seriously every time he sees them.
Lin Xia couldn't lie still anymore and got up. She found some disinfectant, applied it on Lu Yuxiu, and said she would never sleep with her head resting on a man's arm again.
Lu Yuxiu felt a little uncomfortable with the empty arms, and he didn't feel relieved until he carefully hugged his wife until she fell asleep.
