Chapter 70 : The most valuable thing is the thought

“Brother Xiao, I’m so sorry. I really need your help. I’ve been trying to fix this tarpaulin by myself for a long time but still can’t fix it. I’m so clumsy. I’m sorry to embarrass you.”

Miss Song looked at Xiao Qin somewhat helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin’s smile deepened, and he immediately started to fix the tarpaulin, saying: “Miss Song, we are all doing business on the same street. If you have any difficulties, just let me know. My third brother is always here. We are all warm-hearted and will help you if we can. Don’t be polite.”

Xiao Qin heard from Jiang Sui that this Miss Song was actually a widow. Her husband was a sickly man who died of illness the year before last, leaving Lady Song and her young daughter behind.

Miss Song has a widowed mother at home. After her husband died, she moved back to her mother’s home with her daughter, and the two of them depended on each other for survival.

After the child was able to walk, Miss Song started to set up a stall to do business, selling small things such as flower hairbands, which could earn her a living, and save a little to cover her mother’s daily food and clothing expenses.

Her mother usually looked after the child, so she could go out to do business without any worries. The child was also very obedient, so she didn’t have to worry about it. Although the three of them didn’t live a rich life, they could get by, and they lived a simple and happy life.

Miss Song lives in a small village not far from the town, so it is convenient to travel there on weekdays.

These are what Miss Song told Jiang Sui when she was chatting with her.

The friendship between girls is wonderful. If you can get along well, you can easily become good friends.

Xiao Qin also felt that it was not easy for Miss Song, so he wanted to help her.

“I know your family are all good people. I’m sorry to bother you, Brother Xiao, today. Please choose a few hairbands you like from me and take them back. I heard that you have a younger sister who is in her prime. I think she will like these little girl’s toys.”

Miss Song had nothing to thank Xiao Qin with, so this was the only thing she could do.

However, Xiao Qin really doted on his sister Xiao Lanlan. He took some time to look at the colorful and beautiful flower hairbands and many exquisite flower headdresses on the stall. Thinking that Lanlan liked these beautiful things the most and the little girl really needed to dress up, he shamelessly agreed: “Thank you very much, Miss Song. I won’t be polite.”

“You’re welcome.” These things don’t cost much, Miss Song, they just require extra thought.

“Miss Song is very skillful. I think you spent a lot of time on these things. Good things are everywhere. As long as you have money, you can buy them. The most valuable thing is the thought.”

She didn’t expect Xiao Qin to be so good at chatting. After listening to his conversation, Miss Song had a new impression of him.

She had observed before that Xiao Qin was very serious about his work and was very strong. She thought he was just an ordinary rough guy, very simple and unsophisticated. Now it seems that she was narrow-minded.

“Brother Xiao, what you said is very good.”

The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly. Miss Song smiled gently, with spring breeze between her eyebrows and eyes, which made Xiao Qin blush and he quickly looked away.

Soon, Xiao Qin had put up the tarpaulin and tied it tightly. And believe that unless there is a strong wind or heavy rain, the shed will not fall down.

After Xiao Qin finished, he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Okay, I’m done, do you think it’s ok?”

“Brother Xiao is so capable, so the things you make must be good. Come, wipe your sweat.” Miss Song gave her handkerchief to Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin was naturally embarrassed to accept it, as there was a plum blossom embroidered on the corner of the pink handkerchief.

Miss Song hadn’t thought so much at first, but when she saw Xiao Qin blushing, she realized that it was inappropriate for her to rashly give him a handkerchief. They were both single, and she was out of her mind to give someone her personal belongings.

Miss Song also blushed and quickly put away her handkerchief to change the subject.

“Brother Xiao, please choose a hairband.”

Xiao Qin nodded and looked at the hairbands and silk flowers. With his straight male aesthetic, he really couldn’t make a good choice.

So he looked at Miss Song and scratched the back of his head.

“Miss Song, please help me pick a few. I don’t know which one looks good.”

Upon hearing this, Miss Song smiled and covered her lips.

“Well, I’ll take the initiative to help Brother Xiao choose two flowers.”

Afterwards, Miss Song started to pick from the stalls herself, and finally selected three silk flowers, small in size, but all delicate and beautiful.

“You take these three. They are most suitable for little girls.”

Xiao Qin took a few flowers, carefully held them in his palm, and thanked her.

“Thank you, Miss Song.”

Xiao Qin took the things and returned to his stall. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Mother Xiao brought him a bowl of mung bean soup to cool him down.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Xiao Qin brought a few silk flowers to Jiang Sui.

“Sister-in-law, you pick one first, and the remaining two are for my second sister-in-law and Lanlan.”

There were exactly three silk flowers, one for each of them, but Mother Xiao didn’t like the color, so she left them alone.

“Mom, if you like it, go to Miss Song and pick out some that you like better. Your son will pay for it for you.” Xiao Qin did not forget his mother.

Upon hearing this, Mother Xiao waved her hand.

“No, no, why should I wear flowers in my hair at my age? It’s enough for me to know your feelings.”

Jiang Sui didn’t act pretentiously and directly selected a small lavender silk flower, as well as a pink and peach-colored flower.

Seeing this, Xiao Hechuan walked up to Jiang Sui and took the silk flower from his own hand, smiling and saying: “Wife, let me help you put it on!”

Jiang Sui heard this and nodded with a smile, her dimples were very pretty.

Xiao Hechuan held the flower and placed it on her head, looking around, and finally chose a spot he thought was suitable.

“Oh, our Suisui is really beautiful.” Mother Xiao said flatteringly.

Xiao Hechuan agreed with this very much. Seeing his wife getting prettier day by day, he felt very happy.

“My wife is the most beautiful!”

Everyone was amused by him, including Jiang Sui. However, she was quite pleased to be praised for her good looks. Girls really like to hear nice words.

Just when the family was living in harmony, Boss He suddenly showed up and disrupted the atmosphere.

“Ahem… Well, Boss Xiao, I have something to discuss with you.”

Hearing this, Mother Xiao walked to the front with her hands on her waist and looked at him unhappily. This Boss He was very bad, so Mother Xiao naturally didn’t like him.

“Boss He, We all run our own businesses, relying on our own abilities. No one can get close to anyone else. If you have any bad intentions, you’d better give up as soon as possible.”

Since we already know what kind of person he is, there is no need to put on a show.

Boss He was not annoyed, but smiled and said: “Sister Xiao, we can make money by being harmonious. We did have some misunderstandings before, but I came here with sincerity today. Can you give me a chance and let’s sit down and talk?”
