Speaking of this, Li Xunli stopped rolling her eyes.
Shen Qingqing also looked up from the fragrant scallion chicken and looked at Shen Rongzhou.
As for the three younger ones, since they didn't understand the complicated relationship, they continued to eat diligently.
“I asked the store manager of the 4S store, and he said he saw him being assigned to sweep the streets here two months ago.”
"I asked someone in the brigade, and it turns out this person was recognized at the ferry terminal, and the police were notified that he owed money and wouldn't pay it back. An investigation revealed that he also owed money to several big bosses."
"When several big bosses received a message from the police and came to collect their debts, they accidentally broke his leg. They thought he was faking it to run away, but it turned out to be real, and now he's crippled."
When Shen Qingqing heard her father recount the story so casually, she wished he would take her to find the person in the brigade so she could hear it in person.
Was it accidentally broken?
Who would believe that!
If someone owes you money and doesn't pay it back, you'd be considered kind-hearted if you didn't skin him alive.
Li Xunli felt a sense of satisfaction after hearing this, "Hmph, serves you right!"
"Luckily, I listened to Da Bao back then and quit. At least I was able to get some wages back. I don't know how unlucky those people who were owed money by him later must be."
After saying this, both the couple looked somewhat wistful.
Shen Qingqing's eyes drooped. She hadn't received any money and had worked for free for several months. Her family was struggling to make ends meet, and their quality of life had plummeted. She had no choice but to find another way to make a living, and in the end, she developed a host of health problems from the exhaustion.
That's just how bad things are.
If there's any natural disaster or man-made calamity, they simply won't be able to survive.
"Mom, since you're going to take your driver's license test, why don't we go to the dealership tomorrow and see if they have any cars with good value for money? We're going to buy one anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look first."
Shen Qingqing's suggestion was approved by Li Xunli.
When Li Xunli finally saw the figure that was still recognizable even when burned to ashes in the distance at the entrance of the 4S store, she deeply felt what it meant to see something in person rather than hear about it a hundred times.
Seeing that person limping along, dragging one leg, cursing and swearing, yet having no choice but to stand under the blazing sun sweeping the streets, made me feel completely at ease.
Shen Qingqing led her three little ones, each holding a small pudding, slurping as they moved closer and closer to the 4S store.
It's still very hot outside.
"Mom, come in and look at the car!" Shen Qingqing was half outside and half inside the store, experiencing extreme heat in one side and cold in the other, like being in two completely different worlds. She couldn't help but urge Li Xunli on.
"Okay, here we come!" Li Xunli, refreshed after looking around, led the children into the store.
Several shop assistants had been watching the family since they first saw them standing at the door, but since they didn't come in and the children seemed to be just there to enjoy the air conditioning, the shop assistants started looking for other customers instead.
When Li Xunli and her group entered the store, there were no staff members available.
The shop manager, who had just come out of the repair area, spotted Shen Rongzhou, who had been there yesterday, and immediately approached him with a professional smile: "Hello, you two, and hello to the kids too. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Do you have any vehicles that would be suitable for picking up and dropping off these children?" Li Xunli asked directly.
The store manager glanced at the children, thought for a moment, then opened his tablet and selected two or three models with relatively large interior spaces: "Gentlemen, this way please. I've found two or three models for you to sit down and take your time looking at."
"Because there aren't many people buying these larger models, we don't have them in stock right now. You two can take a look on the tablet; there are also catalogs of other models over there."
Li Xunli went over with Shen Rongzhou, while Shen Qingqing led her younger siblings around the other cars in the store.
Because Shen Qingqing couldn't stand the smell in the car, she just watched from a distance, while Shen Yangyang and Li Chunchun would get closer to examine the details inside the car.
Of the three children in the Shen family, only Shen Yangyang doesn't get carsick; Shen Qingqing and Shen Hong are both severely carsick.
People were test driving all the cars in the store, and Shen Qingqing and her companions didn't linger there for long. After casually looking at a few cars, they obediently returned to Li Xunli's side.
Li Xunli casually pulled Shen Hong, who was pressed against her, onto her lap, and then held up the two cars on the tablet for the three girls standing next to her to see. "There's one with a lower base, which Qingqing might not be comfortable sitting on, so I'll just skip it. These two have a decent base height and a larger interior space. Which one do you three prefer?"
Shen Qingqing reached out and slid her hand back and forth, comparing the differences between the two models.
Both cars came with video explanations. Shen Qingqing watched both videos, paused for a moment, glanced down at the left and then at the right, exchanged a look with her two younger sisters, and asked them, "Which one do you two like better?"
Shen Yangyang and Li Chunchun both had the same blank expression on their faces.
Shen Qingqing noticed the confusion on their faces, took her hands off the tablet, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Is this a car you can't see in person? So you can't make a decision after trying it out, right?"
The store manager paused for a moment, but didn't give a definitive answer: "Because these two models are relatively large, their parts are also relatively high-end, and the price is relatively expensive. So we don't stock many of them here, and they are temporarily stored in the warehouse for regular maintenance."
