Zhou Yu described the situation in great detail when she called Zhou Sui, and now that she was there in person...
“I knew something was wrong. She wasn’t that fat when she went in, but she came out looking much fatter.”
It has to be said that Zhou Yu's observation skills are quite keen; he was able to notice this.
"Aren't you afraid of pointing at the wrong person?" Zhou Sui asked on the phone.
"I was just suspicious at first, then I touched her arm and it felt different."
"Also, her walking posture is really wrong. She was fine when she came in, but when she came out, she spread her legs wide apart."
"It's just that my parents are busy and don't have time to pay attention to these details, otherwise how could the thief have succeeded?"
Even Zhou Sui had to admit that these thieves were quite clever.
The woman would wait until Zhang Cui returned from the city to buy clothes before coming to the store. At that time, the store was quite chaotic with both clothes and customers, so she had no time to attend to her.
Every time she tries on clothes, she takes a whole bunch of them in to try them on. Then, while trying on the clothes, she wraps those thin clothes around her body, so when she comes out, you can't tell anything unless you look closely.
Now that the weather is warmer, it's not as easy to hide clothes as before. So she wears a dark-colored long skirt and ties the clothes she wants to secretly take out to her legs. Surely no one can crawl under her skirt to look.
Perhaps emboldened by having stolen several times without being caught, Zhang Cui didn't go to buy goods this time and took action herself, only to be caught by Zhou Yu by sheer coincidence.
If Zhou Yu hadn't tackled the man and pulled out his clothes, he probably would have continued stealing.
"You're really amazing."
"Thanks to you, otherwise the clothes in the store would have just disappeared without a trace." Zhou Sui praised her a few times.
Zhou Yu smugly hummed, "That's what my parents said too. They gave me a lot of pocket money as a reward. Sis, I'm coming to visit you this weekend and staying with you for two days."
"Sure."
"So what's going on with your shop now? Are you going to hire someone else?"
Zhang Cui's business ambitions have grown; she's no longer content with just opening a shop in town and is thinking of opening one in the city. A while ago, she even asked Zhou Peng to keep an eye out for a suitable location.
“My mom’s idea was to find someone to sell the clothes, and then my dad would collect the money in the store.”
Zhang Cui probably doesn't trust her family's money to pass through other people's hands. Zhou Dayong and Li Qiuju did the same thing before, so she's only a little more at ease now.
“That works too, that way Auntie will have some free time.”
The two sisters talked for a while, agreed on a time to meet on the weekend, and then hung up the phone.
This whole family is truly busy with their own things; apart from those who are still studying, the rest of them are all very busy.
"Manager, that guy surnamed Chen is here again." Zhou Sui had just stood up when a shop assistant jogged over to tell her.
Here we go again! Zhou Sui is so annoyed by Chen Zongyue.
He once came to the store looking for Zhou Sui and happened to run into the Cheng family. Somehow, he overheard it. Ever since he found out that Zhou Sui was the Cheng family's biological daughter, he has become even more outrageous, and he runs to the university town every few days.
Zhou Sui was extremely annoyed. She had a little idea: why not take advantage of Chen Zongyue's inattention, put a sack over his head, and beat him up as a warning? Otherwise, who could stand being swarmed around like a fly?
"Where is he?" Zhou Sui looked back but didn't see anyone.
"Huh?" The shop assistant was also puzzled. "I clearly saw someone just now. Could it be that they weren't here to see you this time?"
Zhou Sui was more than happy; she didn't care who it came to, as long as it wasn't her.
Thinking this, Zhou Sui went to the snack shop next door. As soon as she entered, she saw Cheng Yue and Chen Zongyue next to him.
"Sister," Cheng Yue called out, "this cold noodle dish is so delicious, I love it."
"When I arrived, they said you were on the phone, so I came over to eat first."
She now visits Zhou's place from time to time, and the Cheng family doesn't stop her, because Cheng Yue has become the link between the Cheng family and Zhou Sui.
That is to say, Cheng Yue, who is shameless, can get good things from Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui slowly walked over. "So many chilies?" The red oil in Cheng Yue's bowl was completely soaked.
"Chili peppers are so delicious, so fragrant." Cheng Yue already had a red mark around her mouth, and she gasped for breath after speaking.
Chen Zongyue quickly handed him the water on the table, his deliberate concern making it seem like he was trying to curry favor. "Drink some water to calm down. You can't eat so much chili, be careful not to hurt your stomach."
He spoke as if he were deliberately holding his breath; although it was very soft and slow, it sounded awkward to listen to.
Zhou Sui snatched the water he offered, then turned and had someone bring over a bottle of beverage, which she then shoved into the hands of a bewildered Cheng Yue.
