Boss Li's face instantly fell and he regretted it deeply.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!
Now, everything is gone, nothing is gained, and not only has my reputation been ruined.
Watching Boss Li leave in a daze, Shen Qiqi turned to look at Lu Qing, the smile in her eyes becoming even more intense.
"How about it, am I awesome?"
Lu Qing rubbed her hair lovingly, "Of course my Qiqi is awesome! If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat him up!"
Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart.
"Hey, you two should be careful about the impact. There are so many people watching here!" Uncle Wang joked with a smile.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other and smiled, both with happy smiles on their faces.
As night falls, the lights at the temple fair become brighter, illuminating everyone's smiling faces.
Shen Qiqi packed up the stall and prepared to go home. Lu Qing helped her. The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, and everything seemed so natural and harmonious.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, blocking their way.
"Qiqi, I have something to tell you..."
The man spoke in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness that was hard to conceal.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing returned to the Lu family stall and started to get busy.
Shen Qiqi's craftsmanship is exquisite. Those embroidered purses, cloth tigers, and handmade gadgets appear lifelike under the dim light, attracting many customers to stop.
"Madam, how much is this purse?" A girl in a floral dress picked up a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks and couldn't let it go.
"Sister, you have such good taste! I embroidered this myself. It symbolizes a happy marriage. It's fifty cents each, no bargaining!" Shen Qiqi replied with a smile.
The girl readily paid for it and praised Shen Qiqi's craftsmanship.
Word spread quickly, and soon Shen Qiqi's stall was crowded with people, and business was booming.
Lu Qing helped collect the money with a proud smile on his face.
"Brother Qing, your wife is so capable! Her craftsmanship is amazing!" Uncle Wang at the stall next door couldn't help but praise her.
Lu Qing grinned: "That's right, don't you see whose wife she is!"
In less than an hour, all the handicrafts brought by Shen Qiqi were sold out. She counted the money in her hand and found that there were a full ten yuan!
Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing clapped their hands excitedly. Ten yuan was not a small sum in the 1970s. It was enough for the Lu family to improve their lives.
The people around cast envious glances at her. The third daughter-in-law of the Lu family is truly a capable person!
Shen Qiqi successfully gained a foothold at the temple fair, and taught those who had bullied her, such as Sun Dipi and Boss Li, a lesson they deserved.
She stood in the center of the brightly lit temple fair, enjoying the praise of the crowd, her heart filled with joy.
These ten dollars are not only the result of her labor, but also the beginning of her changing the fate of the Lu family!
Just then, a villager hurried over and shouted to the people at the temple fair, "Did everyone hear? The village is reorganizing the children's education! They're going to open a primary school and hire teachers from the city!"
When Shen Qiqi heard the news, she was stunned and her thoughts instantly returned to modern society.
She looked at the innocent children around her, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind.
She grabbed Lu Qing's hand and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Brother Qing, we have to do something..."
