Chapter 38: Fishing for Information

The two of them also noticed Qin Zhifeng and were a little curious.

Xu Sangluo always had a different person accompanying her every day.

“Who is this?”

Xu Sangluo smiled, “My younger brother, Qin Zhifeng.”

The two of them immediately understood that he must be the one who was with the little girl yesterday.

Liang Yu said, “Where’s Xiaoyu today?”

“She has school.”

Xu Xingtao said, “Don’t just ask questions. Are you here to eat? Do you want to share a table?”

“Sure, it saves us a trip. Thanks, you two.” Xu Sangluo readily agreed.

Mainly because she wanted to ask about buying fabrics.

If the cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store went smoothly, the amount of goods would definitely increase, and they would need more materials.

She didn’t expect to have a fixed material supply chain, she just needed to be able to get them in a short period of time.

“You’re welcome.” Xu Xingtao smiled.

Xu Sangluo told Qin Zhifeng to sit down first, and she went to order food.

As soon as she left, the two of them looked at Qin Zhifeng.

Qin Zhifeng felt a little nervous, “Hello.”

Liang Yu showed eight teeth, “Hello, Xiaofeng, can I call you that?”

“Yes.”

“What’s your relationship with Xiaoyu? Your names sound similar, are you siblings or brother and sister?”

“We’re siblings.”

“Are you both studying? Which school do you go to? Middle school?”

Qin Zhifeng scratched his head and nodded sheepishly, “Yes, we’re in Mingyang Middle School.”

Mingyang Middle School.

Liang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Xingtao as if to take credit.

Then he continued to ask with a smile, “Do you have any other brothers or sisters? I see you’re coming with a different person each day.”

Qin Zhifeng felt a little embarrassed, “I have two older brothers. Since we all have to go to school, Sangluo Jie comes alone, and we’re worried, so we take turns accompanying her.”

The two of them’s eyes lit up.

“Oh? What about Sangluo’s family? I see you’re very close, is she your cousin?”

At this point, Qin Zhifeng’s little radar instantly went up, and he looked at Liang Yu with some vigilance.

“Why are you asking that?”

He was used to being asked by people in the village, so whenever anyone asked about Xu Sangluo, they would subconsciously become alert.

The two of them saw his reaction and a hint of thought flashed in their eyes.

Because Qin Zhiyu had reacted the same way yesterday.

They noticed Qin Zhifeng and were curious. Xu Sangluo had a different person accompanying her every day.

“Who is this?”

Xu Sangluo smiled, “My younger brother, Qin Zhifeng.”

The two of them immediately understood that he must be the one who was with the little girl yesterday.

He was used to being asked by people in the village, so whenever anyone asked about Xu Sangluo, they would subconsciously become alert.

The two of them saw his reaction and a hint of thought flashed in their eyes.

Because Qin Zhiyu had reacted the same way yesterday.

They were both a little wary of Qin Zhifeng. They seemed to be acting normally when talking about other things, but whenever it came to Xu Sangluo, they became alert, and their eyes looked at them strangely.

To avoid her reporting to Xu Sangluo, they didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

If it was just Qin Zhiyu, they could say it was just a child’s protective and defensive instinct towards her sister.

But now both of them were reacting this way, which was a little strange.

Could there be some secret?

Liang Yu quickly smiled, “No, I was just asking casually.”

Then he changed the subject, “It’s not convenient for you to run to the county every day, why don’t you just rent a house in the county?”

His question was very clever, seemingly ordinary, but actually had many little traps.

Qin Zhifeng saw that he wasn’t asking about Xu Sangluo anymore, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He naturally didn’t hear the implication in his words, and said embarrassedly, “Our brigade is too far from the county, and we also have fields to take care of, it’s not convenient to move.”

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes flickering.

Brigade, fields, we.

These few key words revealed many problems.

For example, Liang Yu didn’t ask who would rent a house in the county.

But Qin Zhifeng said “we” without hesitation.

That meant they must all be living together.

It further confirmed that Xu Sangluo and the Qin family were probably cousins, and she was probably staying at their house temporarily.

At this time, Xu Sangluo, who had finished ordering food, came back.

The two of them quickly put on a normal expression.

Xu Sangluo sat down on the other side of Qin Zhifeng, and seeing him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but find it a little funny.

The group chatted for a while, and Xu Sangluo casually asked about selling fabrics.

If she were to do mass production, it wouldn’t be suitable to continue buying small scraps of fabric.

So, if possible, she wanted to buy a batch of new fabrics directly from the textile factory.

Xu Xingtao asked her how much she wanted to buy.

But she didn’t say a number.

“I might be buying fabric frequently in the future, I haven’t decided on the exact amount yet, but I estimate it won’t be less than 50 rolls each time.”

The two of them were surprised, would she need that much?

Seeing their confusion, Xu Sangluo didn’t say she wanted to go the supply route, she just said, “I might also make clothes to sell in the future, so I’ll need more fabric.”

The two of them looked at each other, suddenly understanding.

Xu Sangluo had said before that she would make clothes, and the clothes she made were indeed trendy and beautiful.

If she really sold them, there would definitely be a market.

Xu Xingtao, at this

He didn’t immediately agree, only saying he would help her ask after returning in the afternoon.

According to Xu Sangluo’s statement, she was probably planning to do long-term or periodic supply cooperation.

He couldn’t make the decision, but he could help speak to the sales department.

He thought it shouldn’t be a problem.

The factory’s efficiency had been declining lately, and the sales department shouldn’t refuse additional revenue.

After lunch, the group walked towards the textile factory together.

But this time, Xu Sangluo didn’t go into the factory.

She and Qin Zhifeng set up a stall at the gate with their cart, waiting to sell a wave of goods when people started work.

This was her first time setting up a stall at the textile factory.

It wasn’t time for work yet, so the group first went to the guardhouse to drink tea and chat.

The guard was very impressed with Xu Sangluo, and seeing Qin Zhifeng, a child, he smiled kindly and even offered them melon seeds.

It wasn’t until work time that Xu Sangluo and Qin Zhifeng went outside.

This time, Xu Xingtao and Liang Yu didn’t go over to help, or even show their faces, to avoid any negative rumors.

There were many female workers in the textile factory, and their salaries were high, so they had a good financial situation and were generous spenders.

In less than ten minutes, they sold over four hundred pieces.

And among them, about fifty pieces of the new products were sold.

Almost every female worker couldn’t resist buying one.

Because they were really beautiful.

The buying frenzy at the textile factory attracted many nearby residents or passersby.

They thought the textile factory was setting up a stall to sell fabrics again.

They ran over to take a look, and seeing that it was selling headbands, they were a little disappointed.

But after joining the crowd, either because they liked them or because they were influenced by the buying frenzy, they also bought one or two pieces.

When the textile factory gate closed, the crowd around the stall outside didn’t decrease.

Because there were constantly more people coming over to watch out of curiosity.

Those who didn’t know thought something big was happening here.

After almost an hour, the crowd gradually thinned out.

By then, they had sold almost everything.

They had brought about the same amount as yesterday, 2869 pieces.

Mainly because Qin Mama, who could make four or five hundred pieces a day, was missing, and yesterday she had focused on the one hundred new products.

There were about four hundred pieces left in the cart, so they continued to walk around the streets and alleys.

When they reached Fenghua High School, they only had a hundred or so pieces left.

It was around four in the afternoon, and there was half an hour left before school was over.
