Chapter 69 The Mute A Qiu
The boss was very friendly towards Su Nuannuan, a major client. He didn't hesitate for a moment when he heard her request.

"Comrade, no problem. I'll have a clerk help you move the books right away, you don't need to pay her."

After saying that, he shouted into the store.

"Ah Qiu, could you help this customer carry the books to the post office?"

Just as the boss finished speaking, Su Nuannuan saw a dark-skinned, thin, tall, and strong woman walk in.

After she came over, she didn't say a word, her eyes staring straight at Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan felt a little uneasy under her gaze and frowned.

Seeing this, the boss quickly explained.

"Comrade, don't misunderstand. Ah Qiu, she's mute. But she can understand human speech. Without your instructions, she won't touch your things."

Su Nuannuan understood; A Qiu was waiting for her to speak.

Since we can hear what she says, she must not have been born mute; it must have been acquired later in life.

"Boss," he said, seeing that Su Nuannuan was staring at A Qiu without saying a word, "I assume she dislikes A Qiu."

"Comrade, don't worry. A Qiu is very strong."

Su Nuannuan snapped out of her daze and realized that her boss had misunderstood. However, she didn't explain, but instead asked other questions.

"Boss, these books are very heavy. Can Qiu move them?"

It wasn't that Su Nuannuan doubted A Qiu's strength, but the books she bought weighed at least 100 pounds. A Qiu was, after all, a woman, which is why Su Nuannuan doubted her ability to move them.

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, A Qiu's eyes flickered. He bent down and hoisted a sack of books from the ground onto his shoulder.

Then, his eyes stared intently at Su Nuannuan once again.

Su Nuannuan stared in disbelief at the scene. The books in the bag must have weighed a hundred pounds, and he was just carrying them on his shoulder like that?

She hadn't expected A Qiu to be so strong, comparable to a grown man. Someone like A Qiu would have been a top contender on the national team in her past life. Now, she was relegated to a bookstore employee. Looking at the bulging muscles on her arms, Su Nuannuan realized that appearances can be deceiving.

From then on, she never judged a person based on subjective assumptions again.

The shop owner was used to this scene. Every time the bookstore received a new shipment, A-Qiu would carry books weighing over a hundred kilograms. At first, the owner was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it, but over time, he got used to it.

Therefore, he still had the leisure to explain to Su Nuannuan at this time.

"Comrade, don't worry. Ah Qiu, she's naturally strong."

"well."

After the initial shock, Su Nuannuan regained her composure, said goodbye to the shop owner, and then led A Qiu toward the post office.

The two quickly arrived at the post office. Once there, Su Nuannuan asked A Qiu to divide the books she had brought into four equal parts, promising to give her one yuan afterward.

Upon hearing this, A Qiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously at Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan originally wanted to give her 50 cents, but seeing her thin body and the hard work she was doing to earn money, she couldn't bear it. So she made an excuse to ask her to help her sort the books and gave her an extra 50 cents.

While A Qiu was organizing the books, Su Nuannuan began writing letters. This time, she wrote two letters, one to her family and one to Yu Weiwei.

The letter was written quickly. After getting two stamps from the postman, Su Nuannuan paid for them and affixed them.

When she came this time, she looked at the stamps but found nothing worth collecting, so she didn't look at them again.

Suddenly, Su Nuannuan wondered if the food supplies at home were enough. She glanced at the postman who was waiting for her to send something and smiled at him.

"Comrade, I just remembered I forgot to bring some things. Could you keep an eye on them for me? I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, the postman frowned, about to utter his refusal.

However, Su Nuannuan had already anticipated his reaction. She placed a packet of sunflower seeds on the counter beforehand and pushed it in front of the postman. "Please help me out, I'll be back soon."

The postman looked at the bulging paper package, calmly took it under the counter, his expression softened, and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Go on, but come back soon."

Hearing the postman's words, Su Nuannuan smiled and nodded.

She then spoke to A-Qiu, who was packing books.

"Ah Qiu, I'm going to get some things. Wait here for me for a while."

A Qiu paused in her hand as she was tying the books, looked at Su Nuannuan, and finally nodded.

After Su Nuannuan left, she came to an empty alley. She used her mental power to sense the surrounding environment and found that there was no one around. Then she started taking things out of her spatial storage.

This time, she planned to send home 20 jin (10 catties) of whole grains and 5 jin (2.5 kg) of soybeans. Su Nuannuan wanted to improve her family's living conditions, so she added an extra 5 jin (2.5 kg) of soybeans. Soybeans are a good source of protein and are very beneficial to health.

Thanks to her morning runs this week, Su Nuannuan has gained a lot of strength. She no longer gets out of breath carrying 25 pounds of grain.

When Su Nuannuan arrived at the post office, A Qiu had already bundled all the books, dividing them into four bundles.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan was very satisfied with A Qiu.

She packed three bundles of books into the large sack she had brought, and then added coarse grains and soybeans. As she was putting them in, the sack wasn't tied shut properly, and some of the coarse grains spilled out.

Upon seeing this, A Qiu's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively reached out to straighten the bag, preventing the food from being wasted.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan smiled at A Qiu and tied the bag tightly again.

With A Qiu's help, Su Nuannuan mailed the items.

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan again, the postman's expression warmed considerably. Shortly after Su Nuannuan left, the postman opened the paper package he had given him and found it contained roasted sunflower seeds, spiced ones at that. Judging by the weight, it weighed about a pound. Seeing this, the postman's face lit up with joy. Therefore, the postman's attitude towards Su Nuannuan changed drastically after her return.

After confirming the information with the postman, Su Nuannuan gave A Qiu the one yuan she had promised in advance.

"Ah Qiu, here you go."

A Qiu looked at Su Nuannuan but didn't reach out. She remained motionless, a conflict flashing in her eyes.

Just as Su Nuannuan was about to stuff the money into her hand, A Qiu reached out and took the money. She glanced at Su Nuannuan, as if she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't make a sound. In the end, she left dejectedly.

Su Nuannuan looked at A Qiu's retreating figure with some confusion, not understanding what she was trying to express.

Just then, the postman spoke up.

"Comrade, what is your relationship with A Qiu?"

Su Nuannuan looked at the postman in surprise.

"Do you know A-Qiu?"

She remembered that the bookstore was not close to the post office, so how did this postman know Ah Qiu?
The postman didn't hide anything from Su Nuannuan's question and answered directly.

"How could I not know her? Her whole family is mute. After her parents died, she was left to raise her two younger siblings alone. It's pitiful that the three of them grew up struggling, but no one was willing to marry into her family."

The postman's words stunned Su Nuannuan.

She hadn't expected that A Qiu's entire family were mute.

However, A-Qiu could clearly understand what she was saying, which meant that her muteness was not innate or hereditary.

How could their whole family be mute?
