Chapter 136 Gossip: Wu Qingqing goes on blind dates with rich men every month
Today is Zhu Xiu Lian's first day selling lunch boxes alone, and she is even more nervous than yesterday.
But An Nuan told her that these were necessary processes, and as long as she could get through them, she would be able to do anything in the future.
Zhu Xiu Lian knew that An Nuan was trying to encourage her. As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. She couldn't rely on others. If she wanted to get rid of the Zhu family, she had to rely on herself.
At six in the morning, after delivering fresh meat dumplings to An Nuan, he went to the vegetable market alone to buy vegetables.
Her brother told her yesterday that although the alley is a slum, the ingredients are the freshest. Because there are many ingredients for lunch boxes, they need to be wholesaled, which is around 4:30 in the morning. She can ride an electric tricycle to this place and save a lot of money.
Zhu Xiulian was determined to do a good job selling boxed lunches, so she wasn't afraid of the hard work. She arrived a little late today, mainly because she wasn't familiar with the terrain. However, with today's experience, tomorrow would be better.
Seeing that she was a newcomer, the wholesaler wanted to blackmail her, but someone reminded him that she was Aunt Li's sister, and if he messed with her, he would be messing with Aunt Li.
Zhu Xiu Lian looks easy to fool, but she is very knowledgeable. She has worked like a slave for the Zhu family for fifteen years. She may not have any other skills, but she knows how to cook.
She only needs to take a look to know whether your vegetables are fresh and where they come from, and she can explain them to you in detail. The most feared thing in doing business is meeting an expert, so when Zhu Xiu Lian was bargaining, she didn't say anything and just put the vegetables in her tricycle.
Zhu Xiu Lian also approached the boss warmly, saying that she wanted long-term cooperation. If he was willing to deliver the dishes she ordered to her door, the time and money saved would be his.
The boss thought she was honest and decided to cooperate with her, but Zhu Xiu Lian said that she would not accept the food if it was not fresh. Business is business and personal relationships are personal relationships.
The boss was afraid of her. He had met a second shrewd person who was even more calculating than Wu Qingqing.
Zhu Xiulian bought all the ingredients for today's lunch and rode back on her electric tricycle. Old Wang, the neighbor who had made fun of An's father getting married to her, saw her carrying fresh vegetables upstairs alone and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, where's Old An?"
Zhu Xiulian had some impression of him and replied shyly, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry I didn't block you."
The stairs in the old community are very narrow, and Zhu Xiu Lian would naturally block the way when she carried the food upstairs.
Old Wang shook his head. "It's okay. Are there too many ingredients? Let me help you."
Zhu Xiulian quickly said, "Not much, Brother Wang, thank you, I can do it."
Old Wang told her to come on, "Neighbors, we should help each other. It's okay. I'm free anyway. But, sister-in-law, Old An is the same. Why do you have to sell lunch boxes alone?"
"Brother Wang, I'm sorry. My brother and I are not what you think. My sister is not at home these days, and he is just helping out. I have a place to live and lunch boxes to sell now, so I won't bother him."
Old Wang exclaimed, "Old An won't marry you? Oh, that damned Old An, what's the point? He can't even find such a hardworking wife, and he's still thinking about Wu Qingqing."
"Girl, Brother Wang tells you, don't be timid. Wu Qingqing is not a good person. If you really like Lao An, you have to take the initiative." Lao Wang encouraged her.
Zhu Xiulian smiled and said, "Brother Wang, thank you so much. You'd better not get involved in what's going on between the three of us. If Sister Wu hears about it, she might say I instigated it."
Old Wang immediately shut up, but couldn't help but say, "Even if she heard, she'd be smug. If you're capable, just snatch her away. Sister-in-law, ah, no, sister, you just got here and don't know the situation. Wu Qingqing doesn't even take Old An seriously. Let me tell you, just last month, my wife saw her in a cafe on a blind date with a man in his sixties."
Zhu Xiulian's eyes widened. Old Wang lowered his voice, "It's absolutely true. Wu Qingqing even told my wife that he was a relative of the Ji family. Bah, what she didn't know is that this old man is a leader in my wife's unit who just retired. I heard his pension is 13,000 yuan."
Zhu Xiulian was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked. "Really?"
"That's why Brother Wang said, if you like me, go get me. Old An has been delayed by her for so many years, it's time she learns a lesson. When the old man heard that she had a senior high school student who was about to take the college entrance exam, he was afraid that he would have to pay for the university, so he didn't date her."
"The most annoying thing is, I told this to Lao An, and guess what? He said I was talking nonsense, that was a relative of the Ji family. Sister, Brother Wang thinks you are better than Wu Qingqing, so to be honest with you, Lao An was drugged by Wu Qingqing."
"For so many years, the Ji family has never had any relatives visit. Wu Qingqing didn't mind the trouble of registering her household, so she changed her surname to Ji Linchen. And, sister, this is not the first time. Wu Qingqing goes on a blind date almost every month. She thought she was not in the alley, but in the city center, so Lao An would not know."
"She doesn't even think about it. Jiangcheng is so small, and there are common people everywhere. If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Sister, please pay attention and get together with Lao An as soon as possible, so that you can escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
Zhu Xiulian smiled and said, "Brother Wang, thank you for telling me so much. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhu Xiu Lian believed in An's father. According to the seven-day agreement, no matter how eloquent Wu Qingqing was, he would stay away from her.
