The door to Old Lady Li and Old Man Lu's room wasn't locked, and Lu Yuncheng pushed it open and entered the room.
There was only a bed and a wooden wardrobe in the room, so if Old Lady Li wanted to hide money, she could only hide it inside the wardrobe.
The cabinet was locked with an iron padlock, but this wasn't a big problem for Lu Yuncheng. It was just an iron padlock; he could simply cut it with a small saw.
He pulled out a small saw from his home and mercilessly sawed through the iron lock, then opened Old Lady Li's wardrobe and ransacked it.
As a result, he couldn't find a single penny in the closet.
Lu Yuncheng was puzzled; he hadn't expected Old Lady Li to be so careful with the money. But their room was practically empty of furniture—where else could she have kept it?
At this moment, Old Lady Li arrived at the entrance of the small shop with the entire Lu family.
Last night, Shen Qianqian used the system to prepare a batch of goods and placed them in her room, claiming that they were purchased wholesale from an external factory.
She got up very early again today and came to the store ahead of time to set things up.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, Qi Ran felt a mix of emotions: "Tsk, it's good to be rich, but I'm afraid this money might not be used properly."
"Alright!" Old Mrs. Li glared at Qi Ran with displeasure. "Today is a good day for the store opening. I'd like to see anyone who dares to speak sarcastically here again, or I'll teach them a lesson with a stick!"
Qi Ran recalled the time when Old Man Lu and Old Lady Li had ganged up on her and felt a pang of embarrassment.
Afraid.
Forget it, I'll just have to bear with it. Once her husband finds out what's going on with the money in the house, let's see how arrogant Old Lady Li will be then!
Grandma Li specially asked someone to calculate the auspicious time for opening the shop today. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, she told Lu Yunzhi to hurry up and set off firecrackers at the door.
The cannons roared through the sky, ensuring guests would never have to worry.
“Great! From now on, our family will be the first in the village to open a shop.”
Old Mrs. Li's face was full of smiles. From this moment on, she seemed to feel that she was no longer one of the old ladies in the village. From now on, she, Old Mrs. Li, would be a cut above the rest!
After witnessing the official opening of the small shop, Grandma Li led the Lu family back to the fields.
After all, someone still needs to do the work in the fields. It's not worthwhile for too many people to guard the small shop. Keeping Chen Qianqian alone is enough.
Shen Qianqian sat in the shop and waited for almost two or three hours before someone stepped into the shop. It was Gao Lin.
"Sister Shen, congratulations on your opening!" Gao Lin said, handing the basket she was carrying to Shen Qianqian. She had deliberately chosen this time to give a gift because she didn't want the gift to be taken by that annoying Qi Ran.
It's fine for Chen Meizi's family to enjoy it all by themselves!
Shen Qianqian quickly glanced into the basket and found a box of brown sugar and two boxes of malted milk powder. These two items were not cheap for ordinary families.
She didn't refuse, accepted the gifts, and asked, "Thank you so much, Sister Lin. How's your little one at home?"
Gao Lin's youngest daughter is frail and often falls ill. The brigade leader's family has spent a lot of money taking her to see a doctor.
After learning that Shen Qianqian's mother was a doctor, Gao Lin took the initiative to get closer to their family.
Tie.
Now that she's personally visiting to deliver gifts, she must have something in mind.
When Gao Lin heard Shen Qianqian pass the message to her, she didn't feel awkward and said directly, "Well, she felt much better after seeing your mother last time, but recently she's been complaining about toothaches again."
Last night, she tried various methods, such as letting the baby suck on peppercorns and chew on ginger, but nothing worked. This morning, the baby's little face was still contorted in pain, which broke her heart. "So, could you perhaps have your mother take a look at the baby again?"
"Of course!" Shen Qianqian readily agreed. "I'll call my mom this afternoon and tell her, Sister Lin, you can just take Xiaobao tomorrow!"
"Oh, right!" Shen Qianqian suddenly remembered that Xiaobao's toothache was very likely caused by cavities, so she simply took out a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush from the shelf: "Sister Lin, why don't you take a toothbrush and toothpaste with you and brush Xiaobao's teeth properly, otherwise it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."
Gao Lin hesitated for a moment. She had heard before that she should clean her teeth properly, but a set of Yahao toothbrushes would cost 50 cents.
Besides, there are many people in their family, and a box of dental floss won't last long before they need to be replaced.
So even if she wanted to buy it, she had to consider her budget. Shen Qianqian noticed her hesitation and did her a favor.
She handed the toothpaste and toothbrush to Gao Lin, saying, "Since we're sisters by fate, consider this toothpaste and toothbrush set a gift from me."
"Oh dear, how can that be? You're in business, after all." Although Gao Lin said this, her hands had already honestly taken back the toothpaste and toothbrush.
Shen Qianqian waved her hand: "Sister, it's okay. Just help me spread the word later. The dentist in the city..."
Toothpaste and toothbrushes sell for 50 cents, but I can get them for 40 cents here. Other items in the store are also cheaper than in the city.
"Sister Chen, are you sure you can make a business out of this?" Gao Lin was somewhat incredulous that these items were being sold at prices lower than in the city.
In her view, shopping malls in the city are all guaranteed, while Shen Qianqian's small shop has to pay for its own goods first, and in order not to lose money, it has to raise the prices.
But she still managed to lower the price even lower than in the city.
"It's all about small profits but quick turnover," Shen Qianqian replied with a smile.
The small shop is located in the village and its target audience is not high-income people. If she raises the prices, I'm afraid no one will be willing to buy things from the shop.
We had no choice but to lower the prices to attract customers. Once the number of customers increased, the final profit was actually about the same.
The school bell rang, and the two realized it was lunchtime. Shen Qianqian simply locked the shop door and went home with Gao Lin to eat.
