Chapter 45: 042: Murderous Intent_1

Hearing this, Zhao Cui Nong became even more bewildered.

Know what?

Know what?

Zhao Cui Nong then said, “Sister He, just tell me straight what it’s about! Stop keeping me in suspense.”

He Meili 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 astonishment 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 Meili, then said, “Sister He, wait a moment, I’ll go call Xiao Wu and my eldest sister.”

She was too excited.

Her heartbeat quickened.

If what He Meili 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 meters; 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, come 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 overwhelmed with orders.

Zhao Cui Nong then shared He Meili’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 Meili 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 mention 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 development on South Street, they wouldn’t have mentioned 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 mentioned it, the decision to extend the lease was still yours, so the person you should be thanking is yourself,” Lin Wu said.

The same advice hadn’t been given only to He Meili; many others heard it as well, but only He Meili acted on it.

From this, it could be seen.

He Meili was a person with vision.

He Meili 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 Meili then, picking up the fruit and gifts her husband had bought, said, “Xiao Wu, these are all for you from me! If you want to change into new clothes in the future, just come directly to my store, okay? Don’t be polite with me at all!”

For someone like Lin Wu, who could be called a little fortune god, to wear their family’s clothes every day was a blessing in He Meili’s eyes.

“Okay,” Lin Wu took the fruit He Meili handed her, “Thank you, Sister He.”

“This child, what’s there to thank! I’ve already said don’t be polite with me!”

He Meili 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 Meili planned to go for lunch since she was too excited at noon and had skipped eating.

He Meili arrived at Zhang Ji.

The mealtime had already passed, Zhang Ji was somewhat deserted, He Meili found a spot to sit down, “Sister Ma, give me 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 some trouble?” He Meili continued to ask.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaolan looked up at He Meili, then said, “Haven’t you seen the news?”

It was a wonder that He Meili could still manage to eat.

“You mean the thing about Su Garden Ancient Town on South Street being rated as a 5A tourist spot?” He Meili 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 meant that after half a year, the rent would continue to rise.

He Meili 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 Meili frowned slightly, “Didn’t Xiao Wu tell you about the development plans here?”

She thought she remembered Lin Wu saying something 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 medicine for sale in this world, she would be eager to buy a hundred bottles.

Seeing this, He Meili 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 Meili sighed.

Had He Meili not mentioned it, it would have been okay, but now that she did, Ma Xiaolan felt even worse!

Zhao Cuinong was still immersed in the joy of impending wealth, watching the news several times, 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 something 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 Guimei, and the family of three of Sun Dingbang.

Zhao Cuinong first forwarded the news about the development of South Street into the group.

Ding.

Lin Guimei was zoning out at the cash register.

Just then, her phone received a WeChat message.

It was from the “Close-Knit Family” group chat.

Lin Guimei slightly furrowed her brows.

What did Zhao Cuinong mean 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 Guimei sent a voice message, “Cui Nong, if there’s anything, just send a voice message.”

One should at least accommodate the illiterate.

Zhao Cuinong promptly sent a voice message over, “Second sister, did you see the news I forwarded? Recently, South Street has become a hot spot for internet celebrities, and Su Garden Ancient Town has been rated as a 5A tourist spot!”

After listening to this voice message, Lin Guimei narrowed her eyes.

That small broken place on South Street could be rated as a 5A tourist spot?

What a joke!

Lin Guimei 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 statement 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 Guimei frowned slightly.

How had she not known about this Hanfu Festival?

After watching the news, Lin Guimei couldn’t describe her feelings—it was a mix of anger and resentment.

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 message, “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 meter! A two-story shop with more than four hundred square meters, you couldn’t afford it now even if you wanted to!”
