Chapter 45: 042: Murderous Intent_1 Chapter 45: 042: Murderous Intent_1 Hearing this, Zhao Cui Nong beca even more bewildered.
Know what?
Know what?
Zhao Cui Nong then said, “Sister He, just tell straight what it’s about! Stop keeping in suspense.”
He ili put down what she was holding and began to talk about the situation on South Street.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Cui Nong’s eyes widened, and a look of astonishnt almost spilled from them.
“My goodness!” Zhao Cui Nong swallowed hard, even stuttering as she spoke, “Is this… this… this really true?”
“Of course it’s true! Don’t any of you watch the news?”
Now, this matter had already hit the hot search lists on all major platforms.
Zhao Cui Nong took a deep breath and looked at He ili, then said, “Sister He, wait a mont, I’ll go call Xiao Wu and my eldest sister.”
She was too excited.
Her heartbeat quickened.
If what He ili said was true, how much money had she made?
Eight hundred thousand turned into eight million?
Bodhisattva!
She had never seen so much money in her life.
Zhao Cui Nong ran upstairs in one breath, “Xiao Wu!”
“Auntie,” Lin Wu was busy dividing skincare products into packaging boxes.
The second floor had a total of over two hundred square ters; while it was still sufficient for their use, normally Lin Guixiang needed to help downstairs as well as monitor the machines upstairs, which was a bit too much for one person to handle, so they needed to hire two assistants for Lin Guixiang.
Zhao Cui Nong continued, “Xiao Wu, co downstairs with your mom quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang asked with perplexity, “Cui Nong, what has happened?”
At present, the stock in the store was nearly sold out, and they were not overwheld with orders.
Zhao Cui Nong then shared He ili’s information.
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang’s reaction was exactly like Zhao Cui Nong’s, almost dumbfounded, and she even thought she might be hallucinating.
Then look at Lin Wu.
Calm, unlike a typical seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl.
As if the increase in house prices had nothing to do with her whatsoever.
The group descended the stairs together.
He ili grabbed Lin Wu’s hand and thanked her repeatedly, “Xiao Wu, you’re simply our family’s little fortune god! If it wasn’t for you, how could we have suddenly signed on to extend our lease with the landlord for three years!”
Not to ntion little fortune god.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Lin Wu their family’s lucky star.
If it were anyone else, even if they knew about the developnt on South Street, they wouldn’t have ntioned it to them.
But Lin Wu was different.
Lin Wu not only told them to rent for as long as possible but even advised them to buy a shop.
What a pity.
They only took half of Lin Wu’s advice.
“Sister He, I just casually ntioned it, the decision to extend the lease was still yours, so the person you should be thanking is yourself,” Lin Wu said.
The sa advice hadn’t been given only to He ili; many others heard it as well, but only He ili acted on it.
From this, it could be seen.
He ili was a person with vision.
He ili held Lin Wu’s hand and the more she looked, the more she liked her.
This girl.
Not only had foresight but also humility; she wasn’t basking in her own glory.
If it were anyone else, by now their tails would probably be wagging up to the sky, right?
But Lin Wu wasn’t like that.
He ili then, picking up the fruit and gifts her husband had bought, said, “Xiao Wu, these are all for you from ! If you want to change into new clothes in the future, just co directly to my store, okay? Don’t be polite with at all!”
For soone like Lin Wu, who could be called a little fortune god, to wear their family’s clothes every day was a blessing in He ili’s eyes.
“Okay,” Lin Wu took the fruit He ili handed her, “Thank you, Sister He.”
“This child, what’s there to thank! I’ve already said don’t be polite with !”
He ili only wished she had such a daughter.
If Lin Wu were her daughter, she would wake up laughing from her dreams.
After leaving Beauty Chant, He ili planned to go for lunch since she was too excited at noon and had skipped eating.
He ili arrived at Zhang Ji.
The alti had already passed, Zhang Ji was sowhat deserted, He ili found a spot to sit down, “Sister Ma, give a bowl of covered rice.”
“Alright,” Ma Xiaolan was listless, her face no longer bearing the vitality of the past.
“Sister Ma, have you encountered so trouble?” He ili continued to ask.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaolan looked up at He ili, then said, “Haven’t you seen the news?”
It was a wonder that He ili could still manage to eat.
“You an the thing about Su Garden Ancient Town on South Street being rated as a 5A tourist spot?” He ili asked.
“Yeah,” Ma Xiaolan went on, “Our rent is going up from 10,000 to 30,000 starting in June, and the landlord wants to sign a new contract every six months!”
This ant that after half a year, the rent would continue to rise.
He ili smiled and said, “We’re fine, a few days ago, I and Old Wu went to the landlord to renew our contract for three years.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaolan’s eyes widened.
Three years!
Seeing Ma Xiaolan’s reaction, He ili frowned slightly, “Didn’t Xiao Wu tell you about the developnt plans here?”
She thought she rembered Lin Wu saying sothing about it?
“She did,” Ma Xiaolan said, so distressed she could hardly breathe, “I just didn’t take it to heart.”
She thought Lin Wu was young and didn’t know anybody, so she did not take Lin Wu’s words seriously…
Unexpectedly.
If there were regret dicine for sale in this world, she would be eager to buy a hundred bottles.
Seeing this, He ili consoled, “It’s okay, it’s okay, actually our family just got a three-year lease as well; we only saved over seven hundred thousand in rent compared to you all, and I regret not taking Xiao Wu’s words to heart. If I had, we wouldn’t need to rent a shop right now…”
Towards the end, He ili sighed.
Had He ili not ntioned it, it would have been okay, but now that she did, Ma Xiaolan felt even worse!
Zhao Cuinong was still imrsed in the joy of impending wealth, watching the news several tis, and then sent the good news to Lin Bingqiang.
Lin Bingqiang was busy with work and couldn’t check WeChat while on the job, so he hadn’t replied yet.
Later, Zhao Cuinong shared the good news in her maternal family’s group chat.
After sharing it in her maternal family’s group chat, Zhao Cuinong felt that sothing was missing, so she shared the good news in her in-laws’ family group chat as well.
This group included Lin Guixiang, Lin Wu, Lin Guii, and the family of three of Sun Dingbang.
Zhao Cuinong first forwarded the news about the developnt of South Street into the group.
Ding.
Lin Guii was zoning out at the cash register.
Just then, her phone received a WeChat ssage.
It was from the “Close-Knit Family” group chat.
Lin Guii slightly furrowed her brows.
What did Zhao Cuinong an by this?
Forwarding a piece of news?
Didn’t she know there was an illiterate in the group who couldn’t understand the news?
Lin Guii sent a voice ssage, “Cui Nong, if there’s anything, just send a voice ssage.”
One should at least accommodate the illiterate.
Zhao Cuinong promptly sent a voice ssage over, “Second sister, did you see the news I forwarded? Recently, South Street has beco a hot spot for internet celebrities, and Su Garden Ancient Town has been rated as a 5A tourist spot!”
After listening to this voice ssage, Lin Guii narrowed her eyes.
That small broken place on South Street could be rated as a 5A tourist spot?
What a joke!
Lin Guii clicked on the news with skepticism.
The next second, she was utterly stunned!
What Zhao Cuinong said was all true!
The news even featured a video statent by the head of the South Street Cultural and Tourism Bureau, warmly inviting people from across the country to join the Hanfu Festival in Su Garden Ancient Town.
Hanfu Festival?
Hearing this, Lin Guii frowned slightly.
How had she not known about this Hanfu Festival?
After watching the news, Lin Guii couldn’t describe her feelings—it was a mix of anger and resentnt.
How could Lin Wu have guessed it right?
That countryside girl.
Why her?
Zhao Cuinong, as if to strike at the heart, sent another voice ssage, “Second sister, back then Qiangzi even told you to buy a shop as well, but you refused. Now look what’s happened! The price went from 800,000 a shop to 36,000 per square ter! A two-story shop with more than four hundred square ters, you couldn’t afford it now even if you wanted to!”
