Chapter 330 Your idea is good

Li Yingtang laughed out loud: "Thanks to you."

Meng Qin grinned: "You gave me instructions, so of course I'll do my best."

Li Yingtang was very satisfied: "I trust you the most to manage the shop."

Meng Qin then mentioned the orders: "I received four more orders this afternoon, but they were all small ones. Because that woman was causing trouble, I argued with her, and then there was no one left in the shop."

Li Yingtang accepted all the deposits: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work today. I'll be leaving now. It gets dark early now, so you can leave work at 4:30 from now on. The morning hours will remain the same."

"Hey, the boss is so nice."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "Goodbye."

After getting off work, Li Yingtang went to a temple.

Throw the yellow talisman into the donation box, and whatever the other person's purpose, go and argue with Buddha.

I arrived home close to dark, and the gate to the courtyard was wide open.

The kitchen lights were on.

The old lady's voice came over: "Your wife is so lucky to have married you. She gets a ready-made meal every day after get off work. It seems that being lazy really can bring happiness."

“I’m lucky. My wife isn’t lazy; the shop is quite busy, and she hasn’t finished get off work yet,” Qin Xian said.

"How much money can I make?" the old woman asked, looking out the window at the sky.

It was pitch black.

Qin Xian: "I don't make money, I just barely make ends meet." He doesn't flaunt his wealth; the less he talks about it, the happier others will be.

Li Yingtang entered at that moment.

The old woman said, "The young wife is back."

Li Yingtang was extremely disgusted by what Cao Meijiao was doing. When she couldn't deliver the clothes, she used the excuse of making a wardrobe to continue causing trouble. Although she didn't believe in such superstitious things, she still felt disgusted and thus developed resentment towards the old lady.

She gave a curt "hmm."

The old woman hesitated for a moment, then pulled Li Yingtang aside to speak: "Young lady, my daughter-in-law said today that the cabinets in your shop are very expensive, but you haven't had a single customer. It's not easy for you two to make a living. If there's no business, it's better to close the shop and cut your losses in time."

Li Yingtang said sarcastically, "Thank you for your concern. It's good enough if I can barely earn enough to cover the family expenses. By the way, Auntie, did you know? Your daughter-in-law went to my shop today and secretly put some yellow talismans in the cabinet."

The old woman was puzzled by Li Yingtang's attitude towards her: "She said it was a peace charm, why would she do it secretly?"

Li Yingtang almost laughed. Who was lying? Considering that the old lady had always treated her well, and that Qin Xian had once said that the old lady had helped her great-aunt in the past, she didn't expose her: "Many people saw it. My shop assistant even had a big argument with her because of it. Maybe everyone's eyes are blind. Everyone has misunderstood her."

The old woman's expression turned serious: "I'll go home and ask." And she left.

Li Yingtang escorted him to the door and then bolted the door shut.

Stepping back into the bathroom, Qin Xian had already prepared the meal: rice, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a soup.

"I couldn't get a clear answer from them." Li Yingtang explained what Meng Qin had discovered that day, and why she hadn't returned home until dark.

Qin Xian laughed at her behavior: "Putting it into the donation box? That's a good idea."

Li Yingtang said haughtily, "Of course. Did you help me get the money from the cosmetics store?"

"Take it."

Li Yingtang: "From now on, you only need to take the money for the cosmetics store; you don't need to wait for me to get off work. I'll collect the money for the cosmetics store myself."

Qin Xian didn't ask why: "Okay."

The two chatted idly, while an argument could be heard outside.

Li Yingtang pricked up her ears to listen: "It sounds like it's at Auntie's house. Someone is crying. I'll go take a look."

"Don't join in the fun."

Li Yingtang: "Why?"

"If the children follow your example, they'll rush to wherever there's excitement. How dangerous is that?"

Li Yingtang was convinced; the habit of crowding into groups of people was indeed not a good thing.

She started looking out through the crack in the door, listening to the voices outside while feeding herself.

Qin Xian approached with the bowl and chopsticks, and whispered, "What did you say?"

"Didn't you say that it's bad to join in the fun?" Li Yingtang retorted.

Qin Xian: "I learned it from you."

Li Yingtang: "." He doesn't learn anything good!
The sounds from next door gradually faded away.

Li Yingtang and Qin Xian, who lived just a wall apart, roughly understood the cause of the incident from the sounds of arguing and the discussions of their neighbors outside.

The old woman and her daughter-in-law had an argument.

The former insulted the latter, and the latter couldn't stand it and resorted to violence.

The old woman's son defended his mother, kicked his wife to the ground, and the whole family was thrown into chaos.

Li Yingtang: "Could it be because of what I said that we had an argument?"

Qin Xian also guessed: "Probably."

Li Yingtang: "I don't believe that someone as respectable as my aunt would air her dirty laundry in public. I bet she's showing it to you and me."

As a doctor, Qin Xian knew which neighbors were sick and who had been hospitalized.

It would all bother him.

The old woman was worried that if she fell ill in the future, she might need his help, so she dared not offend him completely.

As for the old lady's daughter-in-law, with the old lady's influence, why would she be afraid that he wouldn't help?

Furthermore, those who don't understand the intricacies of the talisman have no idea what it means.

The old lady said it was a peace charm, so it must be a peace charm.

Unless someone can verify it, if the doctor's family members verify the talisman and it gets out, wouldn't that be promoting superstition? That would be bad for his reputation.

Qin Xian: "Mm."

The other party's daughter-in-law was always thinking about changing her luck.

No matter how much discord exists between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they will unite in their pursuit of mutual benefit.

Perhaps the old woman had already begun planning how to cast the spell again for her daughter-in-law. "From now on, let's not let them into the house."

Li Yingtang: "I don't care."

Qin Xian added, "Don't worry about me."

Li Yingtang was waiting for these words; she and the old woman had no affection for each other.

The next day.

Li Yingtang went out as usual, and the old woman smiled apologetically, "Young wife, I'm so sorry, I never expected my wife to come to your shop and put talismans in your shop. We had a fight last night, and she swore that they were peace talismans. Because your shop's business isn't doing well, she's been having bad luck lately. She heard that the temples in the city are quite effective, so she specially got two to help you change your luck. The reason she did it secretly is because she was afraid that if you knew, they wouldn't work."

Li Yingtang said calmly, "Auntie, listen to your own words, is it reasonable? I know it doesn't work, but does someone who desperately wants to change their luck know that it does?"

The old woman's face turned pale, and she turned to Cao Meijiao, scolding, "Look at you! What kind of mess have you made? You've ruined a perfectly good neighborly relationship. Come out and apologize right now!"

Cao Meijiao felt equally wronged.

She placed the yellow talismans in several places without anyone noticing, but she only failed to get away with it with Li Yingtang.

"Young wife, we've been neighbors for so long, don't you trust my character? It must be someone from your shop deliberately stirring things up, don't believe them."

Li Yingtang chuckled coldly, showing no mercy, and said, "Do you think everyone else is stupid? Who's stirring things up? My shop assistant doesn't know you at all. The reason she saw your little tricks was because I called and reminded her. When we met yesterday, I realized something was off about you."

I secretly hoped that I was overthinking it and that you were probably just looking at the bedside table.

Who knew you were really up to no good?

"From now on, let's keep to ourselves." After she finished speaking, she rode away on her bicycle.

Cao Meijiao said unwillingly, "Mom, you heard that? She's been wary of me all along."

"If you don't act suspiciously, why would others be wary of you? Why did you have to go to her of all people? If you get sick in the future, you'll be begging Little Stone. Do you think Little Stone will agree to that?" The old woman was so angry that her chest felt tight.
