Su Qingzhi saw the expression on his face clearly.
She knew in her heart: He was indeed someone who would make a name for himself in the future.
Such a child is worth nurturing.
She nodded calmly.
Has anyone contacted you recently to inquire about the goods?
Xie Rui nodded.
"Several people have come to me asking about it. Especially the soaps and bar soaps, everyone wants more, saying that the ones they bought last time were really good and they asked when they can buy more."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhi quickly made a mental calculation.
She hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Next weekend."
Xie Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Okay! I'll come early and wait for you at this usual spot."
He spoke decisively and firmly, as if he had already regarded this matter as a task he had to complete.
Su Qingzhi suddenly remembered the clothes piled up in the supermarket.
She then asked, "Do you know anyone who can alter clothes? Some of my clothes need to be altered before I can sell them. The fabric looks okay, but if they aren't recut and sewn, I can't sell them at all."
Xie Rui understood immediately.
He thought for a moment, then replied, "My mom does it. She worked at the town's sewing cooperative for a few years, and she's exceptionally good at needlework. Altering a collar or shaping a waist is no problem for her. She even helped make wedding dresses for people in the village."
But as soon as he said it, his face darkened again.
"But she's not feeling well lately, so I doubt she can help."
His voice lowered, "I can only sit for a short while each day, and even holding a needle is difficult."
Su Qingzhi suddenly remembered that Xie Rui's mother seemed to have passed away not long after.
He was then taken in by Liu Yuelan and Fang Mingyu.
Based on the timeline, it must have happened recently.
If we delay any longer, it might really be too late.
She was more willing to trust Xie Rui's family than outsiders.
Although they were poor, they were law-abiding, never took advantage of others, and spoke honestly.
Children raised in such families will not lie.
"What exactly is wrong with your mother? Should we bring her to Lancheng for a checkup? There are large hospitals there with complete equipment; maybe they can find out the cause of her illness."
Xie Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.
But her expression immediately darkened: "We've seen doctors, and the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in town has also come to see her. He said she was always weak, hadn't been properly cared for since childhood, and was deficient in both qi and blood. In addition, she was burdened with worries, always looking gloomy, and getting worse day by day. She was taking less medicine and couldn't eat much."
Su Qingzhi understood immediately; it was probably a mental illness at play.
Just like Lin Hui from Grandma Lu's family.
In the end, his spirit collapsed before his body even fell down.
So he said, "I might be able to try something, but I can't guarantee it will work, since everyone's situation is different. But don't worry, what I use is very gentle and definitely won't make things worse; at most, it just won't have any effect."
Xie Rui understood what he meant.
The other party didn't make any guarantees, but their willingness to help was already a great act of kindness.
But given his mother's current condition, he no longer has room for nitpicking.
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, he has to seize it.
He nodded emphatically: "Uncle, as long as you can save my mother, I'm willing to be your slave for the rest of my life. I'll do whatever you ask, and I'll never say no."
Su Qingzhi waved her hand.
"No need to work like a dog or a horse, that sounds too formal. Just focus on helping me sell the goods. If the goods sell well, we can make money, and everyone can make a living."
"Don't worry, uncle."
Xie Rui said earnestly, his eyes firm.
"Regardless of whether my mother recovers or not, I will take care of things properly. I will definitely keep my promise to you without hesitation."
"OK."
Su Qingzhi nodded, her expression softening.
"Then tell me where you live now. I'll send a friend over to check; maybe she can help. Older people sometimes prefer to talk to women and are more receptive to advice."
This "friend" is, of course, herself.
She cannot appear under her real identity; she must use a different name and keep a low profile.
Xie Rui hesitated for a second, but ultimately chose to believe him.
He clearly stated the address.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhi was shocked. Wasn't that the cave dwelling where Chen Xinghua and the others lived?
"I understand. Go back and wait. She'll arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest. But whether she can be cured, I can't say for sure."
She spoke these words cautiously, afraid of giving Xie Rui too much hope.
After all, she wasn't sure if the spiritual spring water would have any effect.
She could only do her best.
Xie Rui didn't ask who his friend was.
He nodded, seemingly unconcerned about the other person's identity.
He knew that Su Qingzhi always acted with discretion, and since she had agreed, she would definitely do her best.
It would be better to wait and see how things develop, and then talk about it when we meet.
After parting ways with Xie Rui, Su Qingzhi wandered around Lancheng again.
She didn't rush home; instead, she observed her surroundings and thought about her next steps.
Find a secluded corner and take out two pieces of fresh meat with marbling from your storage space.
She then took out a few more bunches of lush green vegetables.
Finally, she pulled a piece of coarse cloth from the bag.
She carefully laid the cloth over the vegetables and meat, pressing it down on the left and covering it completely, leaving no trace.
Then I walked toward the bus stop.
On the way, they ran into Ma Dongxue and Liu Yuelan.
The two were talking by the roadside when they saw Su Qingzhi walking over, and they both turned around.
Ma Dongxue's expression was slightly indifferent, while Liu Yuelan had a smile on her face.
Liu Yuelan was carrying a bulging bag, which must have contained newly bought clothes.
