Mrs. Zhao's eyes were flattering and sparkling, but the corners of her mouth were curved gently, which was very strange.
When she came to their door early in the morning, Ling Yutong and Qi Yun looked at each other.
Ling Yutong said softly: "Yes, but now they are all unmaintained shops. It's strangely deserted."
Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes, held Ling Yutong's hand affectionately, and said, "Oh, the store is full of money! If you don't know how to take care of it, why don't you leave it to me?"
She straightened her chest out, looking like a grandma selling melons.
"Let me tell you, I am very good at running a shop. If you leave our shop to me, not only will you make a lot of money, but you will always need a small amount of money."
Ling Yutong's eyes flashed, pretending to be embarrassed: "But, there are at least two or three shops at home. How can you take care of them all by yourself?"
"Although we confirm that we are short of people, we don't want you to be too tired..."
She has a soft voice, and she has a pure and kind-hearted nature that cares about others.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes flashed, and she exclaimed in her heart: It is indeed right to start with this adopted daughter. She only mentioned a few words, and this girl was worried about whether she was tired or not. It's a joke, there is money to make and work to do.
Who would be tired!
This girl... such a pure and beautiful fool, she would be sorry for herself if she didn't lie to her.
"How can I be tired?"
Mrs. Zhao's attitude became even more enthusiastic. She said that the Qi family's skinny camels were bigger than horses, and there must be some oil and water for her to dig out.
She hugged Ling Yutong and became addicted to the drama. Her whole body was like a Buddha that had passed through the golden light, and she had a living image of a Bodhisattva who saved the Qi family.
"Wu Xuan and I stayed here just to help our family."
Ling Yutong pretended to be embarrassed and said in a low voice: "But the shop worker left and it hasn't been cleaned for several days."
Mrs. Zhao patted her chest: "Don't worry, madam, I'm very energetic!"
"There is no extra gold or silver in the shop. There is only a room full of rice, flour, grain and oil..."
"Oh, doesn't this save money on purchasing goods? It's only in but not out, so there's nothing wrong with it!"
"The shop has to be watched every day. In the past, there were always people there all day long..."
Mrs. Zhao glared: "The longer you stay, the more you earn. Madam, I can handle it!"
Ling Yutong lowered his eyes, glanced at Qi Yun with complete reluctance, and called in a low voice: "Sister, what do you think?"
There was a sparkle in her eyes, and she looked very embarrassed, but in fact, the amusement deep in her eyes was clearly discernible.
This clever girl.
Those shops look dazzling, but they are actually bottomless pits. If you want to make money, it is impossible to rely solely on the things inside.
It was originally going to be an alternative warehouse, but since Mrs. Zhao wants free labor, don't give it up.
Qi Yun suppressed her laughter, coughed slightly and said seriously: "Since Mrs. Zhao is so willing to recommend herself, I think she can take over and give it a try."
Mrs. Zhao’s eyes are very bright, yeah!
Take the first step to take advantage and go smoothly!
Ling Yutong pointed out the location of the shop to Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao left happily, looking at her back with a sense of pride.
After she left, Ling Yutong and Qi Yun looked at each other.
Both of them couldn't help laughing.
This Mrs. Zhao is surprisingly easy to deceive.
I just don't know if she will be able to smile so happily when she knows the truth.
Qi Yun patted Ling Yutong's hand gently and whispered: "I received a letter from Beijiang this morning. If there is no delay on the way, my father will be able to return home the day after tomorrow."
Her tone was soft, and there was longing and sadness in her eyes that she wanted to hide, which made Ling Yutong feel heavy in her heart.
A little uncomfortable.
She hugged Qi Yun tightly and responded in a low voice: "When the time comes, we will go to pick up the general and Brother Ce together."
The tears swirling in Qi Yun's eyes suddenly stopped.
Tears turn into laughter.
"Yes, there is also my second brother. You guys can finally meet each other."
Ling Yutong looked at her eldest sister. Only when she mentioned them, did her eldest sister have good expectations for life in her eyes.
The shop in the capital is thirteen miles away.
Mrs. Zhao was humming an unknown tune, holding a rag in her hand and wiping it happily around the room.
Her face was reflected on the bright board, and her beaming and proud expression almost seemed to float to the sky.
Wu Xuan opened the curtain and came in. When he saw her working hard, he frowned.
He took the rag out of Mrs. Zhao's hand and said rudely: "Do you really think that this shop is your home? Just to show it, how can it be so realistic?"
Mrs. Zhao was unhappy and snatched the rag away.
She walked around the room: "Look, there's a lot of backlog of goods here! All the money sold is our family's money. When the time comes, we'll tell the Qi family that we won't make any money."
"You picked up such a good shop for nothing and put money in your pocket. Aren't you happy with that?"
Wu Xuan's face looked a little better.
But he still urged: "Don't forget the instructions given to us by the clan elders."
"The Qi family is now in a better position. Our previous plans must be carried out. Don't be fooled by the petty profits in front of you and miss out on the big fortune!"
"When our son passes the county test and enters Beijing, then..."
Mrs. Zhao's face turned into a smile: "I understand, I understand~"
"I don't want temporary happiness, I want to enjoy it all my life!"
…
Dull raindrops fell.
Mrs. Qi stood in front of the city gate, with the descendants of the Qi family behind her all looking solemn.
Ling Yutong raised her eyes and looked ahead under the rain curtain. A coffin was being carried by solemn soldiers. Other than that, there was no figure she was familiar with.
Mrs. Qi also frowned.
She stepped forward and asked, "Where is my grandson Qi Ce? Why didn't he come back together?"
She glanced at the coffin, her eyes were red, but she still waited persistently for the soldier's answer.
"I also ask the old lady to forgive me. The war in Northern Xinjiang is tense. The young master has taken care of the overall situation and stayed in Northern Xinjiang to defend the enemy with An Nanhou."
What!
Mrs. Qi's eyes trembled. Although her eyes were red, she still said slowly: "Well, Ce'er did the right thing to defend against the enemy. He did the right thing..."
Ling Yutong couldn't help but clenched her fists.
The direction is different.
Since her intervention, each of them has taken a different direction. Until now, only Qi Ce is still in danger...
"Northern Xinjiang is led by An Nanhou and has a brave young master. We will definitely win a great victory in the future!"
The soldiers were full of enthusiasm and wanted to comfort Mrs. Qi.
"Yes, I will."
"Thank you for your hard work in bringing the general home, and then leave it to us."
Mrs. Qi's eyes were red, but she was the fastest to adjust her emotions.
There are men in the Qi family, and their father is in the coffin. They should accompany him on this last journey.
The heavy rain is silent.
Qi Yan and Qi Zekai held up both sides of the coffin.
