Chapter 80 Human hearts are indeed complicated
The waiter turned around and saw Zhou Cuihua. He glared at her with a fierce look, and Zhou Cuihua was so scared that she quickly retracted her head.
On the other side, the female boss Xu Huiqin, who brought the customers in, said these words and smiled politely at Zhao Zhilan and the others.
Zhao Zhilan smiled back at her, "Boss Xu, we just make tofu to make a living. What can we do for you?"
Xu Huiqin pursed her lips and said without beating around the bush: "I heard that the old aunt's family is cooperating with Ke Laixiang. You don't have to be nervous. I don't have any other intentions, and I'm not here to poach people."
"I just heard that Boss Zhu's noodle shop, which was about to close down, was suddenly rented out. I was curious, so I asked around a bit, but I didn't expect that the one who took over was actually my aunt's family."
After she said that, Zhao Zhilan became even more alert. They had just gone to the shop with Xiaodouzi today. How could they find out about it just by bringing in customers? And he knew it so clearly.
But she still had a smile on her face: "What's wrong with that noodle shop? Is there any problem?"
"There's no problem at all," Xu Huiqin shook her head, looking worried. "It's just that I'm wondering about the exact location of this shop. Are you all aware of the actual situation, old aunt?"
"Yes," Zhao Zhilan nodded. Since the other party already knew everything, there was nothing to hide. "The shop I just looked at today has a bad location, but after discussing it with my family, we've decided to open it."
Hearing her say this, Xu Huiqin sighed: "To be honest, Boss Zhu and I have known each other for many years. This shop is in a very remote location and usually has no customers. If it hadn't been unsold, Old Man Zhu wouldn't have left it there forever."
"I never thought he would bully a country woman like you who doesn't understand these things and actually rent the shop to your family. I couldn't stand it any more, so I came to your house to warn you."
She spoke sincerely, as if she was doing it for the good of the Yun family.
Yun Chenglu didn't think much and frowned. The shop really looked deserted, and he was very nervous when he saw it.
So he said, "Is that really the case? But Boss Zhu doesn't look like that kind of person."
Xu Huiqin glanced at him and smiled, "You're still young. You don't understand many social situations clearly. People's hearts are so complicated."
Yun Chenglu nodded as if he understood, thinking that this beautiful lady seemed to be a nice person?
Baoya shook his hand and said in a clear voice, "Second brother, I don't think so."
"What is that?" Yun Chenglu was a little confused.
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Zhilan and Xu Huiqin also looked towards Baoya, wanting to see what this little girl could say.
Then Baoya said, "I don't think Uncle Zhu is bullying us. We wanted to open a shop, so Uncle Zhu said he had a shop he could give us. He thought the location was out of the way, so he rented it to us for free. But we thought it wouldn't be good to use it for free, so he rented it to us at a low price."
"Besides, he also asked Brother Douzi to take us to see the shop. It's up to us whether we want to rent it or not. He didn't lie to us, and he didn't bully us!"
Zhao Zhilan smiled and looked at Xu Huiqin and said, "Baoya is right. Madam Xu, this is it."
"Hehe..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Huiqin's face.
She originally thought that the farmers in the countryside could not have much knowledge, and after hearing this, they would definitely not want to rent Zhu Qi's shop anymore.
When the time comes, she can instigate them and then rent them a shop in a better location. This will not only win their hearts and earn rent, but also allow them to cooperate in business later. Isn't that killing three birds with one stone?
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she was exposed by this little girl.
"I...I just don't know the inside story. That's all. I don't mean anything else."
She forced a smile on her face and said politely, "In that case, I won't say much. But, if you old aunts ever feel that the shop is no longer viable, I welcome you to contact me for cooperation."
"That's nothing for Madam Xu to worry about," Zhao Zhilan said. "Since my family has chosen to cooperate with Ke Lai Xiang, we won't switch to another company midway. Thank you for your appreciation, Madam."
"Madam, take care. I am an old woman with a weak leg, so I won't see you off."
Xu Huiqin didn't answer, just waved her hand, turned around and got on the carriage.
She frowned and said to the waiter with drooping eyes, "Give me some money and bring some customers back."
"Boss, please sit down!" Lai Qian responded and jumped into the carriage.
He raised his whip and cracked it, and the tall horse immediately broke into a run.
Yun Chenglu watched the carriage disappear at the entrance of the village and sighed with relief, "Human hearts are indeed complicated."
He originally thought that this richly dressed and beautiful lady was a good person, but it turned out that she was targeting his family to poach people.
After he finished expressing his feelings, he suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of the front door of the Chen family opposite. It was ajar, and the eyes seemed to be inside the door.
Yun Chenglu's face darkened. He took out the small slingshot from his waist, picked up a small stone, and shot it towards the crack in the door.
With a whoosh, the stone flew out.
Immediately afterwards, a cry of pain was heard.
Zhou Cuihua, who was hiding behind the door, collapsed to the ground, clutching her forehead. "Yun Chenglu, you bastard! Just wait for her!"
She cursed in her heart, but she couldn't say a word because of the pain. She just rolled on the ground in pain.
At this moment, a young man's childish warning came from the opposite side: "Peeping makes you blind, eavesdropping makes you deaf, and cursing behind people's backs makes you a rotten tongue! Lulululu!"
Zhou Cuihua was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and fainted!
Little Baoya, standing nearby, was so shocked by his second brother's courage that her eyes widened. She clapped her hands and jumped up and down in praise: "Second brother is so awesome! Second brother is the best!"
When she jumped, a few small round objects suddenly fell out of her pocket.
She looked closely and saw that it was a sedge fruit!
I forgot to share with other people in the family!
So she quickly picked up the fallen fruit, turned around and ran into the house.
Baoya distributed the small fruits that looked like wild grapes to other members of the Yun family one by one, and everything went smoothly.
When they got to Wang Cailian, her aunt ate the small fruit and then picked her up and sat her on her lap.
Baoya was very surprised: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Cailian sighed, a look of worry on her face: "Baoya, is this the shop you wanted to open?"
Baoya thought about it and realized that it was indeed what she and Zhu Qi had mentioned, so she nodded: "Yes, it's me."
"Then..." Wang Cailian pondered for a moment, "What if, by some chance, your grandma gave the shop to your eldest uncle or second uncle, would you be unhappy?"
Baoya shook her head, her clear eyes blinking: "No, it doesn't matter who drives it, we are a family!"
"A family..." Wang Cailian choked, her face suddenly turning red.
How dare she ask such a question!
Originally, she was thinking, if Baoya really minded, what would she do if the shop fell into the hands of their eldest wife?
But Baoya's words almost made her find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!
