I Opened a Small Shop to Support My Family Chapter 7

A circle of people gathered diagonally opposite the Yu family house. It was the time when the villagers were returning home from the fields to eat. This road led to the village fields. The crowd was three layers deep. Meng Yunshu, who was standing at the outermost, was so anxious that he couldn’t squeeze in. He could only see Yu Jinhuai, who had a dark face, holding a middle-aged man.

What happened?

He stood outside and listened for a while but didn’t understand. He only knew that it was Old Third Yu, their third uncle, who came to trouble Yu Jinyue. He happened to see a road open and squeezed in with his thin body.

Yu Jinyue’s eyes were blazing as he held his sister and glared at the middle-aged man and woman lying on the ground. He gritted his teeth and wanted to kick them, but he was worried about his sister’s safety and held her tightly. As for Yu Jinhuai, he was stepping on the ankle of the middle-aged man, with a cruel look on his face and cold eyes.

Old Third Yu’s face turned pale with pain, and beads of sweat slid down his chin to the ground. The women around him were so scared that they dared not move. They trembled all over and looked at Yu Jinhuai in horror.

Yu Jinlan saw Meng Yunshu with sharp eyes and cried, “Brother-in-law.”

Then he broke free from his brother’s arms and rushed to Meng Yunshu, holding the little girl in her arms. Meng Yunshu patted her back gently.

Her voice made the eyes of the two cousins Yu Jinhuai and Yu Jinyue look at Meng Yunshu.

Yu Jinhuai’s step on Old Third Yu’s ankle loosened slightly, and he quickly looked away. Seeing that Old Third Yu wanted to escape, his footwork became heavier. Yu Jinyue quickly took out a rope from home and tied him up, and did not let go of any of the women around him.

“Brother, what should we do now?” Yu Jinyue asked. He stared at Old Third Yu and finally kicked him a few times.

 Yu Jinhuai said without even raising his head: “Go see the official.”

After that, he looked at Meng Yunshu and said in a deep voice: “Take care of the family, I’ll be back soon.”

Meng Yunshu nodded.

“Okay, I’ll be at home, don’t worry.”

“Jinhuai, you can’t see the official, I’m your uncle, Jinhuai.” Old Third Yu burst into tears, crying pitifully, “Jinyue, Third Uncle is wrong, it’s this old woman who provoked the relationship between uncle and nephew. It was she who said she wanted to sell your sister.”

When Third Aunt Yu heard something wrong, all kinds of dirty words came out of her mouth, and her sharp voice hurt people’s ears.

“What uncle, I don’t have an uncle like you. Grandpa removed you from the list a long time ago, and there is no such person as you in the Yu family in the government’s household registration.”

Yu Jinhuai drove the carriage, picked up the two people on the ground and threw them into the carriage. Then he tore off two pieces of cloth from their bodies to cover their mouths, and took Yu Jinyue and the two dogs away along the village road.

 The crowd did not disperse, and they all looked at the new face of the Yu family curiously, muttering to the people around them.

Meng Yunshu did not want to be treated like a monkey, so he took Yu Jinlan, locked the door and returned to his own home.

Behind him were Daqing and Dahua from Yu Jinlan’s family.

As the courtyard door closed, all the noisy sounds were also blocked.

He didn’t know that in less than half a day, everyone in Cangnan Village knew that You Jinhuai had married a new thin and pale husband, and it was easy to have children.

After settling Yu Jinlan down and letting her wash her face, he saw that she had been following him around in circles. He patted her shoulder with both amusement and heartache and asked her to go see Yu Zhining.

Without her following him, Meng Yunshu’s movements were faster.

It was not until noon that Yu Jinhuai and Yu Jinyue drove the carriage back. Unlike Yu Jinhuai’s expressionless face, Yu Jinyue’s face was full of joy, and he looked at his second brother with admiration.

 The little girl was only ten years old. After the trouble in the morning, she felt sleepy at noon. She was taking a nap with Yu Zhining at this time.

Knowing that they had not eaten, Meng Yunshu heated up the stewed noodles made at noon and served it to them. The two dogs who followed him also had to eat.

Listening to Yu Jinyue’s words, he knew that Old Third Yu loved gambling when he was young. He almost lost all the family assets of the Yu family and almost sold Xiao Lan from his second brother’s family. Grandpa Yu was so angry that he broke off the relationship with him and even joined forces with the village head to drive his family out of Cangnan Village. He didn’t see him for several years. He didn’t see him until Grandpa Yu passed away. He was in the slums of the county.

At that time, Eldest Yu and Second Yu had just separated and were busy making money for their own small families. They didn’t care about him. Who would have thought that he would come to make trouble several times, and even when he was beaten, he didn’t forget to ask for money.

 Two years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and when he came back, he looked different. He was dressed like a decent person, and acted like a county man, but he couldn’t hide his evil heart. They thought he stopped gambling, but they didn’t know that he gambled even more. This time when he came home, he tried to cheat Yu Jinlan away to sell her for money. Yu Jinhuai found out and gave him a severe warning. It was also from then on that the Yu family raised wolfhounds, two in a family, all from the same nest.

The previous times, he didn’t send him to the authorities because of the last request of Grandpa Yu before his death. Yu Jinhuai would not give him a chance this time.

Sending Old Third Yu to the government was the easiest thing for him. Yu Jinhuai and his brother didn’t want him to have an easy time. First, they let two dogs scare them, then sent them to the county casino, paid some money, and handed Old Third Yu to the casino. He owed the casino a debt, and the casino would not let him go.

In addition, the court now strictly prohibits casinos from mortgaging brothers and nephews for sale. It is conceivable what will happen to Old Third Yu in the casino in the future. With his repeated attempts to sell Yu Jinlan, the government will not let him off easily.

After Yu Jinlan woke up, they took Yu Zhining, who wanted to play, home.

Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai sat together, turning over the tanned rabbit skin. Yu Jinhuai continued to make bamboo racks. There were only the two of them and two dogs at home.

 Sitting back on the chair, Meng Yunshu picked up the basket, picked up the chestnuts that had already opened, and peeled off the shells bit by bit. He caught a glimpse of Yu Jinhuai who yawned several times in a row. Thinking of what happened last night, he couldn’t help feeling ashamed and suggested, “Go sleep for a while. There’s no rush to fix the bamboo rack.”

After he said that, Yu Jinhuai, who was already tired, nodded and agreed. He picked up the bamboo and put it in the corner. He patted the bamboo shavings on his body, washed himself, and went back to the bedroom.

Thinking that Yu Zhining wouldn’t be back for a while, Meng Yunshu closed the door and entered the store.

As soon as he entered, the wind chime hanging inside the door rang.

Sitting behind the counter, Meng Yunshu watched the dusty young man who pushed the door in. There were dark bloodstains on the corners of his clothes and pants. There was no surprise on his face. Everything here was not surprising to him at all.

 The young man subconsciously looked at him. His eyes were alert, and his steps slow. He walked a few steps and stopped, looking at the surrounding environment, and saw the goods on the opposite shelf, his eyes flashed.

It seems to be a guest from the end of the world.

Meng Yunshu showed a gentle expression. His hands were clasped together nervously, but his face did not show his nervousness, “Hello, welcome to the Weimian store, what can I do for you?”

“Are you the owner?” The young man asked instead of answering, staring at him straight.

“Yes.” Meng Yunshu nodded and asked again: “What do you need?”

The young man no longer hesitated. He walked to the counter, scanned the goods on the shelf, waved his hand, and said generously: “I want them all.”

Meng Yunshu was shocked by his generosity. He had calculated before purchasing the goods. The goods on the shelf added up to a considerable expense, but the young man in front of him bought all of them without hesitation, which shows that food is scarce in the end times, and money is really abundant.

“No?” The young man frowned slightly when he saw Meng Yunshu not moving for a long time.

“Of course.” How could Meng Yunshu let the God of Wealth run away? Fearing that he would regret it, he hurriedly got up and put the goods on the shelf on the counter one by one. He held the scanner and scanned the prices quickly, and the prices of the goods were displayed on both sides of the cash register.

 “The total is 2550 Chinese Yuan, please scan and pay here.” Meng Yunshu pointed to the hand-scanning payment next to the cashier, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

He has seen a steady stream of small money flowing into his wallet, and poverty alleviation is just around the corner.

The young man put his hand on top and waited for the sound of money being deducted from his system before retracting his hand. The purchased goods will be automatically stored in his system backpack, which is convenient and safe for him.

Meng Yunshu sat back again, holding his chin with his hand. Seeing the young man’s hesitation, he took the initiative to ask: “Do you need anything else?”

The young man, Lu Renjia, asked bluntly: “Do you have milk powder?”

“Of course.” Meng Yunshu, who had seen the system mall, answered affirmatively. Thinking of the end-of-the-world scenes described in the novels he read, he couldn’t help but sigh at the hardships of the end of the world. Whether it was zombies or natural disasters, he would not survive for a few days with his temperament.

So he kindly asked again: “What else do you need?”

Since he asked, it meant that the goods could come in. Lu Renjia said what his team needed without hesitation.

 “Bottles, clothes for one-year-olds, diapers, sanitary napkins, water, food.”

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu repeated it in his heart, knowing that it was the most needed. He nodded in agreement, and discussed the quantity he needed with Lu Renjia after exchanging names. After watching him leave, Meng Yunshu opened the system mall and started his second purchase.

Before purchasing, he had to check his vault first.

Shopkeeper: Meng Yunshu.

Reputation: 5/10.

Vault: 8174 Chinese currency.

Hmm? How come it is one hundred less than what he calculated?

Meng Yunshu opened his transaction column in confusion, saw the detailed expenditure amount, and found that the extra one hundred was for alcohol and Band-Aids. Although he felt distressed, he also knew that they were necessities.

He sighed, cheered up and rummaged through the system mall, searching for the goods Lu Renjia needed, and bought other things.

 “Milk powder” 900g/can, 250 coins, 9 days;

“Maltese” 900g/can, 230 coins, 9 days;

“Clothes (1)” 1/piece, 100 coins;

“Diapers” 70/pack, 100 coins, 9 days;

After receiving the goods, he did not wait for the items to be put on the shelves, but went to the back to see the land he had planted. He was very curious about what the seeds he planted yesterday would become.
