Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

However, just when he had taken less than five steps, he suddenly heard whispers behind him.

Li Jingfen quickly grabbed an old woman who was walking towards them to buy vegetables.

She bent down slightly and lowered her voice to the old woman, "Aunt Qian, have you heard? This morning at eight o'clock, a spicy noodle vendor in the family compound will be giving out free eggs, and there are only a hundred spots..."

Upon hearing the news, the old woman's eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic.

She hurriedly picked a few vegetables, paid the money, and then ran towards the staff quarters like a gust of wind.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shunli, who was originally a little worried, finally felt relieved.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and walked out of the bustling vegetable market with light steps.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was 8:10.

At this time, Gu Qinyue led his group of younger brothers and appeared at the gate of the family compound.

Gu Qinyue crossed his arms, commanding everyone with a haughty look, "Brothers, hurry up and set up our stall. As long as that guy can deliver the spicy strips on time, we'll start making a killing!"

Hearing the boss's words, the younger brothers did not dare to neglect and started working hard with their hands and feet.

Some were busy arranging tables and chairs, while others quickly opened boxes of various seasonings and ingredients.

At the same time, their mouths were not idle either, and they all started to flatter Gu Qinyue.

"Hehe, our brother Gu is really awesome! He can get such a good deal with just one move, it's simply making huge profits with no investment!" One of the younger brothers said with a flattering smile on his face.

Another younger brother chimed in, "Isn't that right? That brat was so arrogant before, thinking he was so great, but what happened? In the end, he had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat to our Brother Gu!"

"Following Brother Gu in society is the best decision I have ever made in my life!"

Gu Qinyue sat leisurely on a small stool, his eyes slightly narrowed, a satisfied smile on his face. He was immersed in the flattery of the crowd and fully enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

Not long after, the younger brothers set up the stall skillfully and quickly, and everything seemed so orderly.

At this moment, Gu Qinyue suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"

The younger brother standing nearby quickly pulled out an exquisite pocket watch from his pocket, lowered his head and took a closer look, then replied respectfully, "Brother Hui Gu, it's 8:15 now."

Upon hearing the time, some people in the crowd couldn't help but frown and complain, "Oh, that kid is too unreasonable! Why didn't he know to deliver the things in advance? He even dared to let our Brother Gu wait here for him!"

However, Gu Qinyue waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Haha, it's just a matter of waiting for ten more minutes. It's no big deal. No need to worry."

Just as he finished speaking, seven or eight old men and women with gray hair and unsteady gaits suddenly appeared in Gu Qinyue's sight.

They trotted towards the stall, and everyone's face revealed an expression of impatience.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qinyue's heart suddenly became happy, and he thought to himself: "Hey, it seems that Li Jingshen really didn't lie to me! The stall has just been set up, and these old men and women have already heard the news and rushed over."

In a blink of an eye, one of the old ladies who was running out of breath arrived at the stall first.

She supported her knees with her hands, breathing heavily, and asked Gu Qinyue anxiously: "Young man, do you sell spicy noodles here?"

Gu Qinyue quickly stood up and responded with a smile: "Yes, Auntie, the spicy strips will be delivered soon, please wait a little longer..."

Before she could finish her words, the old lady interrupted her rudely: "It doesn't matter whether the noodles are spicy or not. What we care about is when we can get the eggs!"

egg?

What eggs?

When Gu Qinyue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Who told you that we were going to give out eggs?"

However, when these old men and women saw that Gu Qinyue did not seem to intend to admit that there was such a thing as distributing eggs, their faces immediately became gloomy and they all looked extremely unhappy.

One of the old men said angrily, "In business, the most important thing is honesty and trustworthiness! If you hadn't told us you would give us eggs, we wouldn't have come all the way to find you!"

Another old lady also echoed: "That's right, young man, if you do things like this, your business will definitely not last long!"

Some elderly people even shouted in a stern tone: "No matter what, you have to give us the eggs today, otherwise we will stay here and not leave!"

Faced with such a difficult situation, Gu Qinyue was a little at a loss for a moment.

He quickly called the yellow-haired man standing nearby to his side and asked anxiously in a low voice, "What's going on? Did Li Jingshen really give them eggs when he set up a stall here before?"

In Gu Qinyue's opinion, the reason why these old men and women came running over to ask for eggs in a threatening manner was most likely because Li Jingshen had given eggs to this group of people as gifts or discounts when he had set up a stall to sell things in this place before.

However, what surprised Gu Qinyue was that after hearing his question, Huangmao just shook his head blankly, indicating that he had no idea about it.

In desperation, Gu Qinyue had to bite the bullet and walk out of the stall.

He forced a smile and explained to the old men and women who were gathered in front of the stall and refused to leave, "Grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, you may have misunderstood! The person who set up the stall and distributed eggs before was not me. Today is my first day..."

But the old men and women in front of him didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. They shouted, "We heard that you were going to give out eggs here, so we came here specially. Don't try to change the subject!"

“But we really didn’t give out eggs!”

An old man asked, "Let me ask you one thing: are you selling spicy noodles here?"

"Yes! We do sell spicy noodles, but we don't..."

"Since you're selling spicy noodles, we've found the right people. Hurry up and give us the eggs. We'll take them and leave you alone!"
