Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin exchanged a knowing glance, and almost simultaneously began to calculate the pros and cons of the matter.
In the end, they both arrived at the same conclusion: they both made a profit! This deal was incredibly profitable!
"Then it's settled." The two women from the second branch of the family quickly stepped forward and surrounded Qi Ran, as if afraid she would change her mind.
Chen Qin suddenly remembered a question and asked, "If the store runs out of stock, where are we going to get more?"
Not only them, but everyone in the village was curious about where Qi Qi's magical goods came from and how they could be so effective.
Qi Ran frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction: "A small shop is enough, why are you so greedy? Do you want to monopolize my supply sources?"
“That’s right, you’re so talkative!” Lu Yunfeng pretended to be angry and punched Chen Qin hard on the shoulder before asking Qi Ran in a flattering tone, “We can just pay for the goods from Sister-in-law in the future. As for how much Sister-in-law wants to pay us, that’s entirely up to her conscience.”
And so, the second wife took over the small shop, and even slept in the shop.
Just when they thought life would continue like this, an uninvited guest arrived at the small shop.
These days, Chen Qin and Lu Yunfeng can sell goods as soon as they wake up in the small shop. Relying on the reputation that Qi Ran had built up, they can now sell a lot of goods every day, and earn two or three times more money than before.
Lately, their quality of life has improved. They eat meat almost every meal, as if they want to make up for all the meat they didn't get to eat before.
Just as the two of them were enjoying their meal, the door to the room was kicked open: "You, surnamed Qi! Get out here!"
"Who is it? Will you pay for the damage if I kick the gate?" Chen Qin screamed. She walked to the door and only when she saw the person in the light did she realize that he was a burly man who was 1.8 meters tall. She was so frightened that she hid behind Lu Yunfeng.
Lu Yunfeng grabbed a wooden stick from the corner of the wall, pointed it at the person in front of him, and asked, "Let me tell you, if you don't leave the money for repairing the door today, don't even think about leaving our house!"
"Leave?" Zhou Tian sneered. "I came here today to make you pay! You still want money from me? You're dreaming!"
As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, four men rushed into the room from behind him, each carrying a weapon.
Seeing this, Lu Yunfeng was so frightened that he dropped the wooden stick in his hand and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel down on the ground: "Um, let's talk this out."
"Let's talk this out?" Zhou Tian sneered. "Do you know whose house you're occupying? It's ours. You dare to occupy the house and refuse to pay us. This is what will happen to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man standing to his right, as if on cue, raised the stick in his hand and smashed the cabinet next to him, spilling countless drinks on the ground.
Looking at the shards of glass and the water scattered all over the ground, Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin felt so heartbroken they could hardly breathe.
"Big brother, stop! Don't smash anymore!" Lu Yunfeng crawled to Zhou Tian's side and hugged his leg.
“This house was transferred from my sister-in-law’s place. It was a gift from Old Man Song, who used to live here. How can you say it’s your house?”
"That's right, that's right." Chen Qin didn't dare to step forward, but only dared to follow behind and whisper in agreement.
Hearing this, Zhou Tian's anger flared even more. He kicked Lu Yunfeng over, yelling, "What rubbish! This house originally belonged to my mother! That bastard Song Cheng killed my mother, seized the house, and kicked all of us children out of the house. Now he even has the nerve to give the house to a complete stranger!"
After he finished speaking, the four brothers behind him all looked indignant. They said in unison, "Either hand over the house or pay up, or you can expect this shop to end up as a garbage dump!"
Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin huddled together, trembling. It wasn't that they didn't want to pay; they simply didn't have the money!
They've already spent all the money they earned these days on lavish meals!
But the five old men in front of him refused to listen to him at all, and each of them picked up a wooden stick and started smashing things in the shop.
Within ten minutes, the store was smashed to pieces. Only the echoes of…
Hearing Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin's cries, he realized that everything they had smashed was their glittering gold!
Zhou Tian, already panting from smashing up the shop, glared fiercely at the two people huddled on the ground, crying: "Bring me the money tomorrow, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
After they left, Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin sat for a while before they recovered. The two hit it off immediately and decided that they must go find Qi Ran tomorrow and get to the bottom of things!
...
Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng had been planning to move to the city ever since they did, and Lu Yuncheng asked the factory manager for a staff room. They moved to the city without hesitation.
When Chen Qin and Lu Yunfeng arrived in the city and saw the one-bedroom apartment where Qi Ran was living, they felt as sour as if they had eaten a whole lemon.
"Sister-in-law, you're having a really good time living in the city, aren't you?" Chen Qin said sarcastically to Qi Qi, "You left us in the village, and I've suffered so much!"
Qi Ran sat on the sofa, too lazy to even pour Chen Qin and Lu Yunfeng a glass of water: "Look at what you're saying, haven't you made a single penny since you took over the small shop?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qin and Lu Yunfeng recalled the painful memories of last night and immediately began to recount the rights and wrongs of the previous night to Qi Qi.
After hearing the whole story, Qi Ran inwardly cheered that the system's task was assigned in a timely manner; otherwise, she would have been the one whose shop was vandalized and who suffered the losses.
