309 I Have to Help Back You Up
Not long after, someone came to open the door for them. The person who opened the door was Wan Dapeng. He looked at Du Yue and He Xing and smiled happily. “You’re back so early. It’s not even two o’clock yet. How was business?”
He Xing laughed along with him. “The business is doing well. We’ve already earned the capital of the store.”
“It’s fine as long as you made some money… What? You said you’ve already earned back your capital?” As Wan Dapeng spoke, he looked at the time on his watch. “That’s right. It’s broad daylight. Am I dreaming or are you? What kind of things can be sold to earn back the money in a day?”
Wan Dapeng knew the ingredients that Du Yue and He Xing had prepared. How could they earn back the cost of opening the shop with those ingredients? Did they set a sky-high price? They set a sky-high price and there were still people willing to buy their food? This made Wan Dapeng even more in disbelief. Wan Dapeng quickly closed the door and chased after He Xing and Du Yue’s car.
Wan Dapeng ran very fast. When he arrived, Du Yue and He Xing had just gotten out of the car. Wan Dapeng hurried forward. “Brother, Sister, what happened today? Could it be that you two were deceived?”
He Xing smiled and waved his hands. “We weren’t deceived. Some people came to the store to collect ‘fees,’ and we pocketed their contribution points. After all, they delivered themselves to our doors. We shouldn’t let the opportunity slip.”
“What…” Wan Dapeng was stunned. He did not expect this. After a long time, he finally cleared his mind. “Since you guys robbed those people of their contribution points, they won’t cause trouble again, right? Whoever dares to openly ask for money in the base must have a powerful backer… No, take me with you when you go to the store tomorrow! If they really come to cause trouble, I can help!”
Wan Dapeng knew that those people’s backer was not to be trifled with, but his first thought was not to worry that Du Yue and He Xing would implicate them. It was to support them and boost their courage. Just by listening to Wan Dapeng’s words, Du Yue knew that she had not misjudged him! Wan Dapeng was simple and honest, and his heart was kind and simple! Du Yue smiled at Wan Dapeng and said, “It’s fine. Even if they come to cause trouble, He Xing and I are enough to handle it. Brother Wan, you can just do what you need to do. You don’t have to worry about us.”
“That won’t do!” Wan Dapeng frowned. “I know the two of you are capable, but you won’t be able to handle more people. Alright, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. No matter what, I’ll have to go to your shop with you tomorrow.” Du Yue originally wanted to persuade him a little more, but Wan Dapeng’s attitude was firm and he did not give her a chance to speak. “I’m leaving. See you tomorrow!”
Wan Dapeng left in a hurry. Du Yue and He Xing looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. “Let’s just go with it.” He Xing smiled helplessly. “Brother Wan is stubborn. No one can stop him if he wants to go. Just let him go. If nothing happens tomorrow, he won’t want to go again.”
Du Yue nodded. “Alright, that’s the only thing we can do.”
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day. At around nine o’clock in the morning, Du Yue and He Xing brought the ingredients and were ready to set off. Before they could leave, they heard Wan Dapeng’s voice from the door. “Brother, Sister, when are we going to the shop?”
Du Yue and He Xing went out to greet him, and the three of them got into the car and went into the store. Seeing their car drive into the thick fog, Yu Xinya sighed worriedly and then closed the door. They had thought that their lives would be stable once they planted the crops and Du Yue and He Xing’s store opened.
However, they did not expect that when they wanted to live peaceful lives, there would always be people coming to find trouble. On the other hand, He Xing drove to the entrance of the store, opened the door, and moved all the pots, pans, ladles, and ingredients into the store. Du Yue and He Xing cleaned up the ingredients with ease and then cooked the rice. Wan Dapeng stood at the side and asked them, “Do you need me to do anything? ”
The store was not big to begin with, and Du Yue and He Xing prepared very few ingredients every day. The two of them did not have to put in much effort to do such a small task, so they naturally did not need Wan Dapeng’s help. Wan Dapeng had nothing to do, so he walked out of the shop and stood at the door, looking around.
He was not interested in the clothing shop. The women in Sunshine Courtyard all knew how to sew and mend clothes. If his rough clothes were torn, the women in the courtyard could help to sew and mend them. There was no need to spend money at all. On the other side, there was a grocery store. Wan Dapeng was quite interested in it. After he informed Du Yue and He Xing, he walked into the grocery store.
