Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 692: Chapter 686: Renting a Shop Becomes Buying a Shop

After Qin Lei and his wife agreed with the store owner, they pushed the cart back, but they were stopped by someone shortly after leaving the market.

“Are you looking to rent that store?” A sleazy-looking person asked, blocking Qin Lei’s way.

“Yes, what’s the problem?” Qin Lei feigned ignorance.

“I suggest you don’t rent it.” The person said.

“Why, is there something unknown about that store?” Qin Lei pretended not to understand.

“It’s better not to know certain things. Just listen to me and don’t rent that store. If something happens later, don’t blame me for not warning you.” The person looked at Qin Lei, then glanced toward a certain direction.

“May I ask who you are and why you won’t let me rent that store?” Qin Lei asked, of course, he knew why – wasn’t it because of the good location and jealousy? But using such a despicable tactic really made people look down on him.

“Some things are better left unknown. Just listen to me and don’t rent it, that’s all I have to say. I hope you are wise. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning you.” The person said and then walked away.

“Hon, what does he mean?” Nangong Shulan asked her husband, watching the distant figure depart.

“What else could he mean? He just doesn’t want us to take over that store.” Qin Lei pursed his lips in disdain.

“So what do we do now? Do we still take it over?” Nangong Shulan asked uncertainly.

“Of course, why not?” Qin Lei was not afraid of them.

“But what about him?” Nangong Shu pointed at the man who had walked away.

“Don’t worry, he’s not the only one with say in this place. Trust me, it’ll be fine.” Qin Lei reassured his wife.

“Is it really okay? Maybe we shouldn’t take it?” Nangong Shulan worriedly said.

“Shulan, I told you it’s fine. Don’t worry, I’m here with you.” Qin Lei had finally made up his mind to do something to make money; there was no way he was going to back down now.

After all, it was their daughter’s idea. She must have known in advance that if they start the business, some people would be envious. Since they would have to face this sooner or later, what’s the difference between experiencing it now and later?

“Aih, why are some people like this? If others want to do business, they won’t let them. What’s the logic in that?” Nangong Shulan sighed in frustration.

“Some people are just like that now, they can’t stand to see others doing well. But there are good people too, don’t worry. I don’t believe they can cover everything.” Qin Lei didn’t buy into their intimidation.

“Alright, then. We’ll deal with anything as it comes.” Nangong Shulan thought that there wasn’t any point in worrying about things that hadn’t happened yet.

“Let’s go home.” Qin Lei pushed the cart, and the couple chatted about opening the store as they walked.

As they bought so many things to bring back, they naturally attracted the attention of the villagers again. The couple pretended not to see, but some people couldn’t help but seek attention.

“Oh, it seems your family is really getting rich. Yesterday you brought back so many things, and today you bought so much more.

Having a daughter marry a good man is really nice, not like our bitter fate. Either the husband is dead or there are too many siblings and not enough food.” Mrs. Li said. Yesterday, she was scolded by her mother-in-law after going home, baffled by what she had done wrong. Seeing this scene, she wanted to vent her anger.

Initially, she dared not speak to Qin Lei’s family this way. Why? Because she had her eye on the young Qin Yu.

But every time Qin Yu saw her, he looked as if he had seen something unclean. She knew it was impossible for her to be with Qin Yu. Since it was like that, why should she hold back? As long as she was happy, that was enough.
