A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

81

The vegetable-washing aunt's words made Aunt Sweet Potato, who was in charge of keeping the road clean, take off her shoes immediately and step on the dirty white socks without caring about it, while gesturing with her shoes.

　　"Say it again! Tomorrow is the finals, and you're cursing people today? If the mainland girl really doesn't get a place, I'll use my shoes to smash your mouth."

　　I really want to fight with Aunt Sweet Potato.

　　The other two aunts stopped them immediately when they saw it.

　　"Don't worry, we have different views."

　　"That's right, she doesn't have the taste to appreciate it."

　　"Forget it, forget it. You know Cuixiang is a person with a foul mouth."

　　Aunt Sweet Potato was stopped by her companions and could not continue her outburst. She threw her shoes on the ground and stepped into them with her dirty socks, feeling indignant.

　　"Lu Qing will definitely be able to do it! We'll see, she will definitely be in the top three!"

　　Chu Yuening found it strange, how could Lu Qing have fans so quickly?

　　He is indeed born to make a living in the entertainment industry.

　　The noise outside attracted the attention of the people who were decorating the shop.

　　"What's going on?"

　　The person who came out was an old man. He was wearing a hat made of folded newspaper, a black sweater with holes, and his arms were stained with white wall paint.

　　The aunts have gone back to their homes this time.

　　The old man saw a young girl standing at the door of the store. She seemed to be pretty good-looking. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly had an idea.

　　Uncle Zhong held the shovel in one hand and slapped his forehead with the other, laughing: "Look at me, the young lady must be Master Chu who rented this shop, right?"

　　"It's me." Chu Yuening smiled, "I just closed the stall and came to check on the progress."

　　"Ade and I have been friends for many years. You can just call me Uncle Zhong." As he spoke, Uncle Zhong took Chu Yuening into the store.

　　As soon as I stepped into the store, the pungent smell of wall paint came over.

　　The shop was long and deep, and there were two workers climbing on a stepladder painting the ceiling.

　　Chu Yuening waved her hands uncomfortably, trying to dispel the smell.

　　Zhong Bole laughed and said, "That's how it is when doing renovations. We're all family, so we use only the best materials. Once the ventilation is done, the smell will all go away."

　　"Uncle Zhong, how long will it take before we can finish work?" Chu Yuening asked.

　　Uncle Zhong calculated the time and said, "It will take about two days to finish the wall paint. Miss Chu also wants to separate a small room, right?"

　　Chu Yuening went to check the door and found that a small room had been separated.

　　"Yes, I also want to open a small window facing the street."

　　"Then it will take longer." Uncle Zhong took Chu Yuening over to have a look. The small room took up roughly one-third of the store. It wasn't particularly big, but it was definitely enough to sell sugar water.
