Chapter 21 Murder?
Lin Qin knew that she could only listen to half of what the salesperson said. Looking at his guilty yet flattering smile, she estimated that he didn't believe what she said.
But Lin Qin believed it and immediately decided to take over the store.
The salesman's eyes widened in surprise. "Comrade, have you really thought it through? This is five hundred and fifty dollars! It's not a small amount!"
Just now he had indeed been trying to trick Lin Qin into buying the shop, but when Lin Qin really wanted to buy it, he began to feel guilty.
They promote the store every day, but not many people ask about it. After three months, it is still deserted. He has no confidence in the development of Friendship Plaza.
Lin Qin nodded affirmatively, "I want this one!"
Every shop on this street will be a prosperous shop in the future. She remembered that those selling groceries could earn enough to buy a house.
When the salesperson saw that she was checking, he stopped trying to persuade her and happily took her back to the store to go through the formalities.
To buy or sell a shop, you just need to sign a contract and then send it to the headquarters for stamping.
The store was deserted, but the sales clerk was very enthusiastic and quickly helped Lin Qin complete all the procedures.
She paid 550 yuan for a thin contract, but she felt at ease.
From now on, that store will be the foundation of her and her daughter's livelihood. Their future will definitely get better and better!
It was almost dark when Lin Qin returned to Shanglin Village with the contract.
Lin Ying made sweet potato porridge, and when she saw her, she immediately asked, "Did you really buy a store?"
Lin Qin nodded.
Lin Ying stamped her feet anxiously. "How come you're so fast! I just asked some people in the village who often go to the city, and they all said that no one is buying things in the shops in Friendship Square. It's very quiet. Why did you buy that? You really make me so angry!"
Lin Qin happily put the things into the shed in the backyard and ran out, "Sister! You don't understand this! It's true that Friendship Square is deserted now, but who can say it will always be deserted in the future? Anyway, I can exchange the money for shops, so I'm not afraid of the shops running away. If things get bad in the future, I can still live there with Yaya, so I won't be afraid of thieves anyway."
Lin Ying still couldn't understand, "That's five hundred and fifty yuan! You don't know how expensive it is if you don't manage a household."
Lin Qin retorted, "I will be the head of the family from now on. Don't worry, I will take good care of our father."
"Wow! You're still taking care of your dad! Is divorce honorable?" Li Lian's voice floated in.
Lin Ying and Lin Qin both put away their smiles and looked coldly at the uninvited guests in front of them.
"I thought who it was! Turns out to be an unrelated stranger! Who are you? Did I allow you to come in?" Lin Qin retorted angrily.
Li Lian was furious. "Lin Qin! How do you talk to your elders? You are indeed a man born by his mother but not raised by her!"
"Who are you scolding? What kind of elder are you? All the elders who should visit my father in the hospital have gone to see him, but you haven't even shown your face. How dare you show off your authority as an elder here? Why? I want to ask you why?" Lin Ying pushed Li Lian out of the door in anger.
Li Lian was furious, "Lin Ying! You dare to push me! Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"
"Come on, come on! Let's see who will beat whom to death! You old man who doesn't understand the situation!" Lin Ying didn't give Li Lian any face at all.
Li Lian also saw Lin Ying's arrogance, glared at her fiercely, and stopped arguing with her. She turned to look at Lin Qin, "Second Aunt, because we are relatives, I came here to matchmake for you because I know you are divorced. If it were someone else, I would not bother with them!
The man is from Nansheng County, his name is Qian Dashan, he is 40 this year, he is old and will be caring, he is willing to give 80 yuan as a betrothal gift, it is not easy for a divorced woman with children like you to find another husband, they are not disgusted, you don't have to be picky, I will reply to them tomorrow and let them come to your house to propose marriage!"
"Ha, you big-headed ghost! If you want to get married, just marry yourself! If you come to my house to make trouble again, I will beat you to death!" Lin Ying waved a big broom at Li Lian.
Li Lian was startled and screamed like a ghost. He ran while shouting to urge Lin Qin to reconsider.
Lin Ying chased the man two miles away before returning home angrily, and cursed for a long time in the main room.
Perhaps because of Lin Ying's toughness and protection, Li Lian did not dare to come to his house to cause trouble for the next two or three days. Instead, people who were familiar with Lin Yi in the village would come to see him, give him some money or some egg noodles.
Lin Yi's legs cannot move yet, but he can sit up and doesn't have to lie in bed all day.
The next step is to recuperate well and not be able to do farm work for several months.
Lin Ying had a lot of things to do at home. Seeing that Lin Yi had nothing important to do and that Lin Qin was still taking care of him, she packed her bags and went back.
Because Liu Yaya was still on Chen Wenjun's fishing boat.
Lin Qin discussed with Lin Yi about taking the child back.
"Dad, I'll ask Uncle Qingxiang to come and take care of you for a while after ten o'clock tomorrow. I'll go bring Yaya back."
Lin Yizhi nodded, "Okay! I've been bothering him so much these days. You can go over and pick some vegetables. I don't know what the vegetables in the field look like these days because I haven't taken care of them. Pick all you can and send them over. It must be inconvenient to eat vegetables on his fishing boat."
"I understand." Lin Qin looked at the sky, took a sickle to the vegetable garden to get some vegetables to change Lin Yi's taste.
After the father and daughter had dinner, Lin Qin closed the door as soon as it got dark, completely unaware that a pair of eyes in the darkness were watching their every move with an obscene smile.
In the middle of the night, Lin Qin heard the sound of bricks and tiles breaking while she was half asleep and half awake. She immediately opened her eyes and listened carefully.
In the darkness, all sounds would be infinitely amplified. She suddenly felt uneasy. She looked towards the door of the shed, her heart pounding, and she subconsciously grasped the old wooden stick beside the bed.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in.
Even though Lin Qin couldn't see her, she knew the door of the shed was open.
Lin Yi couldn't get down, so the only person who came in could be a thief!
She immediately hid at the foot of the bed.
When the other party heard the noise, he thought Lin Qin had turned over and immediately moved towards the bed.
Lin Qin felt someone jumping on the bed, and immediately raised his stick and smashed it hard, "I'll beat you to death, you thief, I'll beat you to death, you thief!"
"Ah! Ah! Help! Help!" A rough and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.
Lin Qin knew it was a strange man as soon as he heard it, and he beat him harder and harder. He didn't move until he was silent. Then he ran out, holding his chest and shouting, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
She pushed the door open with all her might, and all the neighbors rushed over.
Someone came over with a kerosene lamp, a hoe and a stick, "Where? Where is the thief?"
Lin Qin pointed to the shed in the backyard, still in shock.
The old lady next door hurriedly asked, "Are you injured?"
Lin Qin shook her head.
At this time, a terrified cry came from the shed, "Lin Qin, did you beat someone to death?"
Lin Qin's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ran to the backyard.
She pushed through the crowd and saw a man lying in a pool of blood, motionless.
"Call the police"
After saying this, Lin Qin instantly collapsed.
