Chapter 093
Tsurumaru Kuninaga went to the police station again. When he came back, he was accompanied by two policemen who had come the day before. After handing the four shivering people who were trapped in a group to them, Qingxi didn't care about what he said to them later. At this moment, she was putting on her clothes alone in the room on the second floor.
No need to think too much, it is a Komon kimono. The winter style Komon kimono is a little cold at the neck and sleeves, but it is very warm when worn with a pair of fleece leggings underneath.
The problem of a bare neck is easy to solve. Just wrap a fox fur scarf around your neck to prevent the cold wind from blowing against your skin.
By the time she was dressed and went downstairs, the police had already dragged a group of four people out of the shop. She could vaguely hear the shop owners who had run out to watch calling out the name "Ahai" to someone.
Since the people were arrested on the spot, no one believed the four people even when they cried out for justice.
Even when it came to the stolen items in the warehouse that Qingxi casually mentioned, the three of them denied it and even dragged out Ah Hai's wife and two children.
Ah Hai tried hard to deny that he did not steal anything, but the police had already approved a search warrant. They took people to the home of Ah Hai, his wife and their children, where they found two pieces of high-quality women's cloth and four finely crafted hairpins. These things were out of place in this poor and dirty home. The police believed that these were stolen items, but Ah Hai's wife went crazy at this time.
He grabbed Ah Hai by the collar and asked him which woman he was going to give these things to in Youguo... Of course, as a thief in the shop, there was no need for him to know such things.
Because they were addicted to Qingxi's stories, and the matter of the four thieves was still being dealt with, the four people, well, five people, as friends, would have been fine before, as they were prepared to "guard the shop and wait for people", and it would have been fine if they didn't ask Chijuro to come over, but now that the person has been caught, naturally they have to take him along if there is anything interesting, so the five people stayed in the shop for three days and two nights.
Of course, the shop was not open yet. After the five people cleaned the place up and down, there was no problem. Qingxi went back to see Kitani Xuanying twice. The fever had subsided and the most dangerous period had passed, but the person was still in a coma.
That night, Qingxi told a story about her life in the world of food as usual, and then everyone covered themselves with blankets and went to bed.
In the darkness, Yagen Toushirou's voice suddenly rang out, "General, what are you going to do with the shop here?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Qingxi said distressedly.
During the day today, a verdict has been issued for the burglary of three outsiders, including Ah Hai's family of four. Due to the interference of Ah Hai's wife, the two pieces of cloth and four hairpins were not given to the woman from You Guo's place by Ah Hai. Instead, they were taken by the police and handed over to her.
Qingxi also knew that this was compensation from Ah Hai after he "stole" something.
She accepted it, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga said on his own behalf that although these things were not enough to pay for the things in the warehouse, they would be leaving here in a few days and the shop here had been rented out. In addition, the other party seemed to be really poor and was Granny Su's son, so the matter was left at that. However, if there was a theft in the shop in the future, he would definitely be the first to pin the blame on him, so he asked the family not to come around their shop unless necessary.
As for the free things, Qingxi didn't want them, so she planned to pack them together with the four hairpins and the New Year's goods she had prepared and asked Jiro to send them back to Grandma Su. However, after Grandma Su read the letter and looked at the things, she kept the New Year's goods and asked Jiro to take them back along with the things she had prepared. The content of the reply letter was generally full of disgust.
Of course, these are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.
"What suggestions do you have?" Qingxi asked back, unable to figure out what to do with the shop here.
Yagen Toushirou changed the subject and said, "Miss Koharu and Miss Riko are getting married at the beginning of the new year."
"What?" Qingxi jumped up from the quilt, but immediately, she was pressed back down by two hands on the left and right.
Rengoku Kyojuro: "If you have anything to say, just lie down and talk."
Yagen Toushirou: "Be careful, you'll catch a cold. I don't think the general would want to drink the prepared Chinese medicine."
Qingxi: "..." Lie down obediently.jpg, the cat is frustrated.jpg
"Ya Yan, please continue." Qingxi urged.
Yagen Toushirou withdrew his hand. He didn't quite understand the gossip of girls. He said, "We're old enough, and we found the right person, so we got together."
"Who is the man?" Qingxi asked again.
"They're from the Anbu. You should know them, Aki," Yagen Toushirou said. "They're Mr. Kono and Mr. Egawa, who often deliver food to the clinic."
Qingxi said in a long voice, "This is love that grows over time. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first."
Since Qingxi knew that the two were going to get married so long in advance, she had to prepare wedding gifts for them early.
After all, when she first came to the clinic, she received a lot of care from the two of them.
"Continue?" she asked.
"I just happened to hear them talking there once," said Yagen Toushirou. "Although the clinic has dormitories, they are all single men and women.
Plus, after getting married, they should have their own little home. Living here all the time would be inconvenient and would disturb other people in the clinic, so recently, whenever they have free time, they go out together to look for a house."
"Do you mean to give them the shop to live in temporarily?" Qingxi asked.
"Yes and no." Yagen Toushirou paused for a second, considering that two of these children were real and one was a fake, so he spoke vaguely. "If they still can't find a suitable place by spring, they could use the second floor of the shop as a temporary residence, but that wouldn't be suitable... I mean, if the general doesn't plan to open a shop before he comes of age, they could run it here."
Yagen Toushirou's words were vague, but Qingxi understood the meaning behind them.
What's inappropriate?
That is naturally the loving thing that a couple should do.
The layout of the second floor is that the two rooms are separated by a partition. According to Qingxi's understanding, the partition is a shoji door that does not let in light and people standing next to it cannot see through. Although this ensures personal privacy from being seen by others, it also has disadvantages. For example, it has no effect on blocking the transmission of sound waves.
If two newlywed couples were asked to live like this with a partition between them, would you be able to do it?
Since we are already a young couple, why don't we do anything after dark? And lose all the fun between husband and wife? That would be too difficult, wouldn't it?
"It's just..." Qingxi frowned, "Are Sister Aliang and Sister Riko ready to leave the clinic?"
In her opinion, there was no need for that. To be more powerful, Ubuyashiki treated his own people very well. Take them for example, since they were not ghost hunters but worked in the logistics department, their monthly salary was not many times higher than what they earned outside, but they were paid on time every month without any delays or deductions for various reasons. During major holidays, they also provided a lot of snacks and fruits, which made him a conscientious boss that was hard to find outside.
For this reason, she felt that she could continue working in the clinic.
"It sounds like they have this idea, but they only mentioned it briefly and I only heard it once, so I'm not sure." said Yagen Toushirou.
It was impossible to see the other person's expression in the dark, but from the sudden lowering of his voice, Qingxi could guess that the other person probably had an apologetic expression on his face.
"It's okay," she said. "I'll ask Sister A-ling and Sister Riko privately after we get back to the clinic."
Qingxi was also very fast. After a night, they packed up the things they had used recently and put them into the food backpack, and the five of them were finally ready to go back.
After separating from the two brothers at the gate of the Purgatory House, she returned to the clinic and saw that both Koharu Aya and Riko were free, so she took them to Yakumo Yakuin's house.
It wasn't that she was doing anything unnecessary. She was just worried that the conversation between the three of them would be overheard by other people in the clinic and they would think too much.
After all, even though everyone seems to be friendly on the surface, everyone is still close to each other.
In a group of people, there are always those with the best relationships and those with average relationships.
"Ah Xi, is there something that brought us to Mr. Yaoyan's room?"
Although it is not clear what the relationship between Qingxi and Yagen Toushirou and Tsurumaru Kuninaga is, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two people who appeared out of nowhere regard her as their boss and have a very good relationship with her. Borrowing the other's house like this is also allowed by the owner of the house.
So Xiaochun Ling jumped into someone's house without asking the other person whether this was really okay or not, and instead asked directly.
"I heard from Yaoyan that Sister A-ling and Sister Riko are going to get married in the spring..." she said while organizing her words. Seeing that their cheeks turned red at the same time when they heard about this, she knew what was going on.
She smiled and said, "Don't blame Yao Yan for being nosy. He just happened to bring up something when we were chatting yesterday, so he took the opportunity to mention your case."
"First of all, congratulations to both sisters." Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to want to be angry, Qingxi said flatteringly.
"Thanks."
Who would not be happy to receive sincere blessings from people around them?
Of course not.
The two of them just smiled and said nothing, because they knew that the little girl had not yet said the serious matter.
"It's like this." Qingxi cleared her throat, "What are your plans for the future, sisters?"
Xiaochun Ling understood, "Did you hear from Mr. Yaken again that Riko and I are looking for an apartment?"
Qingxi coughed lightly and said guiltily, "Ya Yan didn't do it on purpose. I just happened to pass by where you were chatting and overheard it by accident."
"We do have this plan." Riko touched Qingxi's lowered head, "But the housing prices in Tokyo are a bit high. We..." She hesitated for a moment, "Even if we use up all our savings, it still won't be enough. We can buy a nice house in a small town, but secretly, we think it's safer in a big city."
"After you get married, Sister Aling and Sister Riko, are you planning to continue working in the clinic, or do you have other plans?" Qingxi asked.
"I've considered it and have looked elsewhere, but the salary isn't as good as at the clinic," Xiaochun Ling said bluntly. She then changed the subject, "Ah Xi, just tell me what you want to say. You keep asking us questions, and we're really confused."
Qingxi smiled awkwardly and explained why he had come to see them. "That's about it."
Seeing that the two remained silent, she continued, "I can't guarantee what will happen ten years from now, but within five years, I won't even think about opening a shop."
Well, she had before, but she was young. Now she has earned a lot of money from the maternity house and has enough money. Even if she loses her job now, she can still stay at Mr. Beiming Island's house and live comfortably for several years, so she is not in a hurry.
Koharu Aya and Riko's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Really? Aki, are you willing to rent the store to us for five years at 20 yen a month?" Riko confirmed again.
Compared to Riko's excitement, Koharu Aya seemed much calmer. She asked, "Any requests?"
The shops on the streets of Tokyo, especially those with high traffic, do not cost more than this price even if they are rented out every month. No, it should be said that it is 20 yen per month, and the rent remains the same for five years. It can be said to be a bargain.
So even though Xiaochun Ling was very tempted, she still wanted to find out more about the shop from the owner first.
"It's nothing. I just want to have people in the shop and not have it look deserted and rundown," Qingxi said. "I haven't been to this shop in just a few months since I bought it, and it already looks a bit desolate. If it stays unused, I might have to tear it down and rebuild it in less than five years."
Koharu Aya and Riko understood that Qingxi just wanted to find someone to look after the shop, which was why she asked for a very low rent for the shop.
"Aki, thank you for considering me and Riko first," Koharu Aya said gratefully. "However, we still need to discuss this. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
Qingxi nodded, "Okay."
