Jiang Yanqing smiled and said, "No, Auntie, I want to ask you, is there any storefront for rent nearby?"
The woman paused, thought for a moment, and replied, "There are indeed two. What does your master want to rent them for?"
Jiang Yanqing pulled out a bottle of Jade Cream from his pocket and waved it in front of the woman. "Here's the deal, for facial cleanser."
The smile on the woman's face became more sincere. It would be best if she wasn't trying to steal the business.
He took another closer look at the bottle in Jiang Yanqing's hand and said in surprise, "Huh...is this the thing called Yurong Cream?"
Jiang Yanqing nodded, "Auntie, do you know?"
The woman slapped her thigh and said angrily, "My little girl bought a bottle last night and said it was two yuan a bottle. It's just for face washing. It's so expensive. How many dishes do I have to sell to make back the money? If you say this..."
Perhaps the woman finally realized that the person she was complaining about was Jiang Yanqing, who had just taken care of her own business, and she stopped talking awkwardly.
Jiang Yanqing smiled nonchalantly, "Auntie, this is made with Chinese medicinal herbs. You're always in the kitchen, surrounded by fumes, and your face is always tense, right? Try this, and your face will feel much more comfortable."
As he said this, he stuffed a bottle of jade cream into the woman's hand. The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, this is a precious thing. You can't use it."
Jiang Yanqing squeezed the woman's hand and forced it in. "Auntie, I'll have to trouble you to take me to see the store later. This is a thank you gift. Don't be polite to me. Just accept it!"
Seeing that she could not delay any longer, the woman accepted the Jade Beauty Cream, fiddled with it for a few seconds, and praised it, "Your bottle is quite beautiful. It is really exquisite."
Jiang Yanqing smiled and said nothing.
The woman put the things into her pocket and picked up the plate nimbly. "Girl, wait a moment. I'll take the plate to the back and take you there."
"It's okay, there's no rush, auntie." Jiang Yanqing sat down and replied politely.
The woman went into the kitchen and came out soon, taking off her apron and saying, "Little girl, my husband's surname is Tian, you can call me Aunt Tian."
Jiang Yanqing readily called out "Auntie Tian" and the two walked out together.
On the way, Aunt Tian introduced Jiang Yanqing, "I'll take you to find the landlord. She and I have a good relationship. I'll ask her to give you a discount."
"Thank you so much, Aunt Tian."
"It's okay, it's okay. You're really capable, little girl. You're so young and you're already helping out with the family business. Unlike my son, who just eats and sleeps all day long, he's like a pig."
Sure enough, mothers all over the world complain about their children in the same way, with a mixture of disgust and doting.
Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but think that for a child who has parents to protect her from the wind and rain, there will always be a place for her to stay even if she doesn't have to run hard.
Children who have known since childhood that their parents are unreliable and even want to suck their blood can only run forward desperately, eager to escape the shadow of their original family.
Although Jiang Yanqing herself would not be like this, she has seen too many such cases.
In my previous life, I had a friend who was my playmate in the countryside, and we kept in touch afterwards.
Her parents raised three children and told her from a young age that no one at home could help her in the future, whether it was work or study, and she had to work hard on her own.
When she got married, she was told early on that her family would not give a penny for dowry. After getting married, she was unhappy and wanted to divorce, but her mother said that divorce was shameful.
Jiang Yanqing still remembers that she took that friend home and watched her in a dilemma. She even thought about dying at one point. In the end, although she helped a little, it was mainly because she was strong and persevered.
Alas, with a silent sigh, the two of them arrived at the landlord's door.
Aunt Tian knocked on the door, and a plump woman opened it. "Hey, Daju, how did you find time to come see me?"
Aunt Tian took Jiang Yanqing's hand and followed the woman into the yard. "I came to see you for a good reason. This girl wants to rent a storefront. I remember you have two vacancies on hand."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the fat woman's face. She pulled Aunt Tian aside and whispered, "You came at an unfortunate time. I'm planning to sell those two sets. My son Zi Kyoto needs money for his business."
The voice was not loud, but it was enough for Jiang Yanqing to hear clearly. Jiang Yanqing said, "Auntie, if it is suitable, I can buy it."
The two turned around and looked at Jiang Yanqing in surprise. Aunt Tian came over and patted Jiang Yanqing on the shoulder, "Little girl, your fat aunt's shop is not small, and the prices are not cheap!"
