At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

When Lin Qing and his group walked towards Tianshui Lane where the house was located, they did not notice a familiar figure sneaking into Manager Xu's cloth shop.

When Shopkeeper Xu heard the footsteps, he thought it was Lin Qing and the others returning. He looked up and called out "Madam" only to find that it was a woman he didn't recognize.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were full of indescribable charm, and she walked gracefully. In short, one could tell at a glance that she was a person who was not content with her life.

The person who came was Xiangzhi.

Shopkeeper Xu hates dealing with people like this the most. They seem smart but are actually petty and will do anything to achieve their goals.

So he put away his smile, didn't even bother to introduce himself, and just lowered his head to do the accounts, ignoring her.

In fact, what Shopkeeper Xu wanted was very simple:

Seeing that he ignored her, the woman knew that it would be boring to stay any longer, so she would definitely turn around and leave.

But he didn't expect Xiangzhi to be such a persistent person.

Xiangzhi had just stood at the door for a long time. When she heard the shopkeeper having a pleasant conversation with Lin Qing's family, she was certain that he was a person who was easy to talk to.

Thinking about what Lin Qing said on the way here, he knew that if he wanted to do long-term business, he had to change a store, and this shopkeeper was undoubtedly the perfect candidate.

I wanted to come in and test the waters, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper's attitude towards me to change so abruptly, and I felt a little indignant.

Why was he so smiling towards Lin Qing before, but now he is so cold?

But she knew that her purpose in coming here was not to quarrel with others. She tried hard to suppress her inner anger, curled her lips to reveal the most captivating smile, and said:

"Shopkeeper, I have a few embroidered handkerchiefs here. I hope you will be so kind as to take a look at them. If you like them, please accept them. We can negotiate the price!"

Shopkeeper Xu looked up with some curiosity, wondering what was going on today. Why were all the people coming to him to sell handkerchiefs?

But with the foundation laid by Lin Yuanxin, his expectations were inevitably raised. But after taking the handkerchief handed over by Xiangzhi and looking at it several times, he frowned.

As the saying goes, compare the goods before you throw them away. If he had not seen Lin Yuanxin's embroidery skills, he would definitely have gritted his teeth and accepted the handkerchief. But who can want to go back to the days of plain porridge and cabbage after being used to eating delicious food?

So he absolutely can't answer it!

Shopkeeper Xu returned the handkerchief to Xiangzhi and said solemnly, "Madam, I'm sorry I can't accept this."

Xiangzhi looked at him for a long time and thought she would achieve her goal, but she didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary man could resist her embroidery and charming smile!

Xiangzhi was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Shopkeeper Xu felt sorry for her and patiently explained, "Although the fabric you chose is good, the embroidery is really ordinary. The pattern is mandarin ducks playing in the water and butterflies lingering over flowers. This... the young ladies of wealthy families wouldn't use it, and the ladies wouldn't like it. I'm saying this harshly, but please don't take it to heart. It's simply a waste of this piece of fabric."

Xiangzhi's heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp knife. She didn't expect that this inconsiderate man would not only refuse to buy it, but also dare to slander her like this!

She was so angry that her face turned pale and she gritted her teeth and said, "You, you have such bad manners, no wonder the store's business is so bad! In my opinion, you might as well close it down as soon as possible!"

If this had been said in the past, even Manager Xu himself would have had such doubts without her saying anything. However, as he was too proud to allow anyone to pierce this window paper, he would definitely stand up and argue with the person who said this.

But after meeting Lin Yuanxin, he knew that his turning point was about to come, so the more it was at this time, the more he should not bother with villains, so as not to anger the God of Wealth and delay his financial path.

"You look like the wife of a wealthy family. You must be selling handkerchiefs for fun. You don't need to bother with a small person like me, right?

"I was wrong just now. I don't want this handkerchief, but if you just wave your hand, there will definitely be many people in this town who want it, right?"

Xiangzhi could not help but hear the sarcasm in his words, but she also had her own pride to uphold. She was too lazy to say a word to such a person. She puffed out her chest, picked up her handkerchief angrily, and turned away.

Why, why should embroidered items be divided into different grades?

Who does Lin Qing think she is? Not only does she sell things that are more expensive than me, but she also lets people humiliate me like this!

Just wait, I'm going to show you what's happening!

Let you all know that I am not someone to be trifled with!

Shopkeeper Xu, who was obsessed with Lin Yuanxin's embroidery, did not know at the moment that he would soon pay the price for his actions today.

At this moment in Tianshui Lane——

The three of them walked slowly towards the house, observing their surroundings with great interest.

Gu Sihe walked on the bluestone road in shock and wonder, very surprised.

"Mom, not only the houses in this town, but even the roads are made of stone! How did they pull such big stones in here? I've never seen a stone house in our village. Won't it be cold inside?"

Lin listened to his machine-gun-like inquiries and said with a smile, "It's just the outer stone wall. I don't know what's inside. We'll know when we go in and take a look."

After saying that, she looked around the residential area with great curiosity.

This ancient alley, full of the atmosphere of life, is completely different from those I have seen in tourist areas with heavy traces of human activities.

Although the streets are narrow, they are straight and clean, without any clutter.

While walking in it, you can hear the sounds of spatulas and stoves in each household, as well as the rich aroma. Taking a deep breath is enough to soothe all the fatigue.

Thinking about it this way, the courtyard should not be deep, with at most two entrances.

The three of them walked and looked, and before they found their place, they saw Gu Dahuai standing in front of them from a distance.

Both sides were stunned.

Lin Qing thought they came to the town to discuss breaking off the engagement, and wanted to go up and say hello to him, but she didn't expect him to be so thin-skinned.

Gu Dahuai obviously didn't expect to meet Lin Qing here and felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, I came here today to clean up these things. The furniture inside is newly made, and I don't want it anymore, so it's a bargain for your family."

After saying that, Gu Dahuai turned and left, which made Lin Qing unable to help but feel curious.

He looked like he was going to meet someone.

who can that be?

Even though she was curious, she knew that this was not a good time to follow him, so she thought to herself that maybe she could ask Gu Changqing after returning home.

"Sihe, since your uncle said that everything inside was given to our family, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Gu Sihe took the key from Lin Qing, his palms were so sweaty that he almost dropped the key on the ground.

The brass lock on the door was opened, and after the door was pushed open with a creak, everyone felt a trance.

They're actually going to have a house in town?!

After the three of them walked over the high threshold hand in hand, they were all shocked and stood there, unable to move at all.

Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that it looked ordinary from the outside, but it was actually a different world inside!"
