My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st
Chapter 10: They really are one family, let's make another deal!
"Really?!" Gu Xixi had just given a thumbs up when Xu Yi slapped her hand speechlessly. "No way! You really are. I was listening so attentively and you're just teasing me. Be serious!"
"Alright, I understand if you don't want to talk about it. I'll have Old Xu talk to you about it later. You must have been terrified today. Go back and rest. Remember to install security cameras around your supermarket. It'll make people more wary..."
Xu Yi mumbled on and on before opening the door and walking out.
Gu Xixi: ...
He simply didn't believe it at all.
Gu Xixi chased after him, unwilling to give up. She sincerely wanted to be hired, so she begged, "Officer Xu, I'm serious, I'm not lying to you!"
"Get some rest." Xu Yi was completely unyielding.
They pushed her out of the police station, had two other people watch over her, and sent her home. Brother Wang and his brother understood the situation and persuaded Gu Xixi to leave.
Before leaving, she overheard the conversation coming from inside.
"Officer Xu, you don't believe her if she's in such a hurry and says anything is true? She's a victim, she shouldn't be lying."
"She said she awakened a system that allows her to travel through time, and you're telling me..."
"Hahahaha!"
……
The merciless laughter left Gu Xixi speechless with bitterness. How could no one believe her sincerity? Oh well, at her current buying speed, he'll believe her on his own sooner or later.
When we returned to the back door of the supermarket, it was already past 10 p.m. After helping to unload the goods and pile them in the yard, Brother Wang patrolled the neighborhood before leaving.
The entire courtyard was piled up to the brim. Gu Xixi locked the back door and blocked it with something before going upstairs.
The first thing she did after sitting down was to buy surveillance cameras on JD.com and schedule their installation for tomorrow. She bought eight: one around the yard, two in front of the supermarket, one in the supermarket yard, and one in the upstairs living room.
She lay on the sofa, unable to fall asleep, feeling both angry and aggrieved. So she called her mother, but no one answered. That shouldn't be the case; those two old night owls never go to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
So she called Mr. Gu again. This time he answered, and all he said was, "Sweetie, what's wrong? Your mom and I are playing duo queue. Let's talk after we're done, okay?"
After saying that, the phone hung up.
Gu Xixi shook her head, feeling that something was wrong, but then again, nothing seemed wrong, because it wasn't the first time they had hung up on her while she was playing games.
But she was still afraid, so she didn't dare turn off the light and lay on the sofa waiting to fall asleep naturally.
Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Mr. Gu was covered in cold sweat, curled up, but still smiling, panting, "I told you that recording is useful, my dear girl didn't notice anything wrong at all."
With tears in her eyes, Gu's mother could only wipe his sweat and feed him his medicine from the side.
"Yes, you're right. It really happens to coincide with your episode. But should we really not tell her? If you die, she might hate you."
Mr. Gu was in so much pain that he buried his head in the blanket and only peeked out after a long time to drink his medicine.
"But I don't want her to keep crying when she finds out. She's been pampered and has a soft heart, and she can't bear to see any suffering. She can just cry all at once later. Besides, I don't want to spend my last days at home. I want to spend them traveling."
Mrs. Gu couldn't bear to watch any longer. She turned her head away, covered her mouth to stifle her sobs, got up, went outside to the balcony, and drew the curtains.
Suddenly, her heart clenched with pain, her vision blurred, and she almost collapsed. She managed to hold onto the plants, slowly squatted down, and waited for her to recover.
She then smiled wryly. This family was really the same. She thought the same way, so she couldn't let Lao Gu know. Otherwise, he would definitely find an excuse to go home and not let her take good care of him and keep him company.
But when they got married, they promised each other that they would stay together forever and travel the world.
Fortunately, her daughter is already grown up... She and Lao Gu won't die together, giving her time to adjust. During this time, she can get used to life without them and become strong.
They... really had no other choice.
……
Gu Xixi felt a persistent pain in her heart, but it didn't hurt when she touched it. So she simply sat up, exhaled, and remembered the martial arts technique she had just unlocked. Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well practice it.
She opened the martial arts training room and went inside. It was a vast expanse of white all around, but when she stepped on it, it felt like there were ripples flowing under her feet.
Without her noticing, her clothes transformed into a loose white robe in the style of a Tai Chi uniform, and her hair automatically became a tight bun.
A water gate suddenly appeared in front of her, and out walked an old man with a white beard, bald and wearing the same clothes as her. He was in good spirits, had a ruddy complexion, and his arm muscles were clearly visible as he walked, making him look strong.
"Girl, you're really weak. One slap from me and you'd be dead. Tsk tsk tsk, have all the descendants become such useless cowards these days?"
The old man's voice was loud and clear, like thunder. Gu Xixi thought to herself, "His blood and energy are really abundant."
However, the tone of his voice sounded like that of an ancient person, so she imitated Shen Qingyan's manner of bowing and greeting the old man, "Greetings, Master! Your disciple Gu Xixi, thank you for your trouble!"
The old man nodded. "Not bad, at least your brain still works, and you're polite. Come on."
The old man immediately conjured three afterimages, like holographic projections, surrounding her in four directions, so that no matter which direction she turned, she could clearly see the movements and practice along with them.
A martial arts class in the training room lasts two hours, and the time flows at the same rate as outside. When Gu Xixi was bounced out and landed on the sofa after two hours, she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
The next day, I was still woken up by my 4 a.m. alarm. Uncle Wang said that she had a lot of stuff, so from now on, just like last night, he would deliver the goods to her family separately every night, so she wouldn't have to get up so early in the morning.
What a waste of this alarm clock.
She was so tired she could barely get up, but remembering that Shen Qingyan was coming at 4:40, she got up to wash up. She spent twenty minutes taking a shower and washing her hair, and the remaining time was only enough to cook some instant noodles.
She cooked two more servings. They ate White Elephant Chicken Noodle Soup for breakfast, and she specially added five poached eggs for Shen Qingyan. She then took the food to the yard and ate it while waiting for him.
She finished eating at exactly 4:40. She opened the courtyard gate, and footsteps came from the mist outside. Shen Qingyan appeared, pulling a large cart. The two bowed to each other in tacit understanding and quickly began to move the goods.
In order to save time, and probably because he had eaten a lot these past two days and had more energy, Shen Qingyan made the transport speed much faster than yesterday.
The task of preparing nearly 20,000 jin of grain was completed in just half an hour, though he was covered in sweat.
Gu Xixi quickly carried the medicinal herbs out. Fortunately, there weren't many, only a little over 900 jin in total, and he carried them over in one trip with 20 minutes left.
