Chapter 194 The Storm Subsides



Shen Qiqi pulled the corner of her mouth with a forced smile, "Brother, why are you here?" But in her heart she was madly complaining: What you fear will come true!

How did this plague god get here?

She felt that she had not checked the almanac before going out today, and everything was unlucky.

Lu Qing also walked over, frowning slightly, looking at his eldest brother with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

He knew his elder brother's character too well and knew that he would never run so far to the market for no reason.

Big Brother Lu crossed his arms across his chest, with a condescending attitude and undisguised contempt in his eyes, "Third sister-in-law, it's not good for you to do business in such a public place, is it? You've brought shame to our Lu family!" He deliberately raised his voice, and the customers around him looked over curiously.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried hard to control the urge to roll her eyes.

Isn’t it just selling something?

How come it's so embarrassing?

In her previous life, she was a powerful career elite. How could she become a family disgrace by selling some small gadgets to supplement her family income?

This logic really made her kneel down!

But she still maintained a peaceful smile on her face, and spoke sincerely, "Brother, I'm also trying to help my family. This handicraft can be sold for a lot of money!" She deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone around could hear.

After all, the public has sharp eyes. She just doesn't believe that Brother Lu can still confuse right and wrong!

Just as Brother Lu was about to continue mocking, his attention was suddenly attracted by something. He stared straight at the handicrafts on Shen Qiqi's stall, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, "This... this is..."

Brother Lu's eyes seemed to be glued to those exquisite handicrafts and he couldn't move them away.

He stretched out his rough fingers and carefully touched a little rabbit woven with colorful silk threads, his face full of disbelief.

"This...did you do this?" His tone was full of shock, completely devoid of the arrogance and contempt he had just had, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Seeing this, Shen Qiqi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking: "Oh, this big brother is quite knowledgeable!" She said with a smile: "Yes, big brother, these are all made by me stitch by stitch. How about it, not bad, right? Let me tell you, these are all popular items, they were sold out as soon as they were put on display!" She deliberately exaggerated in order to let Big Brother Lu feel the value of this handicraft.

There was a complicated light in Brother Lu's eyes. He looked at the customers around him who were enthusiastically selecting handicrafts, and then looked at the confident smile on Shen Qiqi's face. His heart seemed to be hit hard by something.

He originally thought that Shen Qiqi was just an ignorant country girl, but he didn't expect that she had such a skillful hand. The things she made were simply magical!

He swallowed and suddenly scratched his head embarrassedly, "Um... Third sister-in-law, your thing is really beautiful. How about... I can help you sell it?" After saying this, he was stunned.

What did I just say?

My boss Lu’s face!

When the people around heard this, their jaws almost dropped.

Is the sun rising from the west?

The eldest brother of the Lu family actually wants to help his sister-in-law sell things?

This is a rare spectacle that can only be seen once in a century!

Shen Qiqi hadn't expected Brother Lu to do something like this. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Brother, are you serious? That's great! With your help, I'm sure I can sell all of these today!" She immediately pulled Brother Lu to the side of the stall and handed him a few small items. "Come on, brother, take these and show them to the customers!"

Brother Lu took the things in a daze and began to greet the guests in a hurry.

His slightly clumsy movements formed a sharp contrast with Shen Qiqi's skilled techniques, causing people around him to burst into laughter.

But Brother Lu didn't care at all. Instead, he worked harder and harder, as if he had found new fun.

Lu Qing stood aside, watching his elder brother and his wife talking and laughing while selling things, feeling indescribably happy.

He patted his eldest brother's shoulder and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, you are still the best!" he said sincerely.

Shen Qiqi also turned her head and gave Brother Lu a brilliant smile. That smile was full of gratitude and warmth, like a ray of sunshine in winter, dispelling all the chill.

"Thank you, brother!"

After hearing this, Brother Lu felt warm inside, and also a little inexplicable...

pride?

He chuckled, revealing two rows of white teeth, "We're one family, so we shouldn't have different opinions!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu? It's really lively today!"

The voice was sinister and one could tell from the moment it came that he had ill intentions.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Dipi and a few of his brothers walking towards them in a nonchalant manner.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at Shen Qiqi and Brother Lu, with a malicious sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Brother Lu's face darkened, and just as he was about to step forward to argue, he was stopped by Shen Qiqi.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. I'll take care of it!" She winked at Brother Lu, then turned to look at Qian Dipi with a playful smile on her face. "Hey, isn't this Boss Qian? What's going on? Are you trying to collect protection money again today?"

Qian Dipi didn't expect Shen Qiqi to be so calm, and was confused for a moment.

His eyes flickered and he wanted to say something harsh, but when he saw Brother Lu's sturdy figure, he instantly became timid.

He knew that today's matter might not be so easy to handle.

"Ahem..." Qian Dipi cleared his throat, trying to save his face, "Well, I was just taking a look today, that's all!" After saying that, he was about to slip away in disgrace with his little brother.
