To the people of Langyuan City, it is not too much to describe the Wu family as thunderous. The people who make a living here range from wealthy businessmen to porters. Who dares to be disrespectful to the Wu family? On the one hand, this comes from Wu Yuan's majesty as a political official in Langyuan City, and on the other hand, it comes from Wu Qingling's majesty as the "second political official".
Therefore, any news that comes out of the Wu family, whether it is in the market or among the so-called elites in Langyuan City, will spread it with gusto, and everyone will talk about it.
But no matter how it was spread in the past, it was not as scary as the Wu family's major incident this time.
Wu Qingling, the young master of the Wu family and the only son of this generation of the Wu family, died. And on the third day after Wu Qingling's death, an old man from the Wu family also passed away due to heartbreak.
As long as you walk near the Wu Mansion, you can hear the constant sounds of mourning inside.
It's not easy for everyone to talk about this matter. After all, someone's family has died, so it's not easy to talk too much. But don’t talk about it outside, there are many people who talk about it privately.
Wu Qingling died, how many people jumped to celebrate? The Wu family's bloodline has been cut off since then. How many people can wake up laughing from this incident?
At the same time, some people are curious about how Wu Qingling died. The Wu family said that he died of illness, but Wu Qingling would not have died so quickly even if she was sick at such a young age, right? There should have been a process, right? But there was no news at all.
But two days later, rumors came out that Wu Qingling died on the woman's belly... This is...
But gossip is gossip, not everyone believes it, and not everyone will take the recent funeral of the Wu family too seriously. Just spread the word about it and most people will do whatever they need to do. It is important to make money to live at home.

In the back street of Dongmen Market, the most popular store now is "Zhang Ji Woodware Shop". Not only the locals of Langyuan City, but also merchants from neighboring Zhuangzi or big cities are now coming here. Even if there is no spot at all, it still can't stop the hot demand. Many merchants were even willing to add money to get the goods earlier, but Zhang Shun still declined. What he wants to do is long-term business, and he will not ruin the "Zhang Ji" sign just for the sake of small immediate profits.
"Don't worry, uncle, the wheelchair is under warranty. If there is any problem within one year, you can bring it over and we will help repair it. We won't charge you..."
Zhang Shun's talk has been developed, and he is completely different from the beginning. There is no longer any look of inferiority or timidity about him because of his disability. He talks and laughs just like ordinary people, and even his confident temperament is impressive.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Shun is the person who interacts with most customers every day in the store. Who makes him the best example of a wheelchair? When people buy things, they naturally believe his words, not the explanations given by the store clerk.
After successfully selling a wheelchair and receiving the deposit, Zhang Shun had time to take a break and drink some water.
"Brother, did you hear what they said just now? The young master of the Wu family is dead! He just came to our store with Xiao Chongwen and the other three and bought..."
Zhang Huiyuan came over and wanted to talk to her eldest brother about the gossip she just heard. She didn't like the playboy either. One is because the other party has a bad reputation, and the other is because the other party and Xiao Chongwen came together and are definitely not good people. But this person actually died! I secretly applauded and wanted to be happy with my big brother.
But who knew that Zhang Huiyuan was only halfway interrupted when Zhang Shun waved his hand and glared at her.
"Why are you so talkative? Does it have anything to do with you? Don't you know that trouble comes from words?"
"Brother! Why do you always talk about others?" Zhang Huiyuan was not very happy after being scolded a few times. She turned around and left. She still feels that her second brother treats her better. Unlike his elder brother, who always likes to teach others. I don’t know when my mother will tell my eldest brother to find a wife to take care of him.
Zhang Shun secretly laughed a few times when he saw his sister walking away with her mouth full. But immediately I couldn't help but feel worried.
It was Wu Qingling's death that caused the commotion.
Zhang Shun has been waiting and watching Zhang Yan's behavior after returning, knowing that his second brother has ideas for revenge. At first I thought it was Xiao Chongwen and the others, but later I realized that there were people behind them. Xiao Chongwen and the others were just pawns rushing in front.
However, the second brother did not want to say more about the injustice, so Zhang Shun could only endure it and make secret calculations in his heart. Later, when they saw Xiao Chongwen and Wu Qingling leading Wu Qingling to the store, Zhang Shun was wary of that attitude. He even wondered whether the man behind Xiao Chongwen and the others was Young Master Wu?
Now that Young Master Wu is dead, no matter how he died, Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "He died well." But he knew that Wu Qingling's death did not mean that the Wu family's power in Langyuan City would be affected. As long as Wu Yuan, the city administrator, was still in his position, the "heaven" of Langyuan City would not change. So I gave my little girl a few words of reprimand, so that people outside would have too many eyes, so that I wouldn’t get offended. What's more, "Zhang Ji Woodware Shop" is inevitably envied now. Who knows if someone is causing trouble in the dark? Just be careful.
After resting for a while, Zhang Shun saw an old man and a young man coming in from the door. The old man looked to be in his seventies, but his legs and feet were nimble. Although his beard and hair were white, he had a rosy face and bright eyes. He was cleanly and decently dressed like a scribe. Coupled with the gentle and elegant demeanor on his body, one can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.
The business in the store was good, but the waiters were already too busy, so when the old man and the young man came in, they were confused and no one greeted them. So Zhang Shun quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, rolled his wheelchair out from behind the counter, and greeted him.
"This old man, welcome to the store." This opening was taught by Zhang Er. Zhang Shun found it difficult to speak at first, but now it's smoother. And although this word is strange, the meaning is still very polite. After hearing it more often, it seems to sound better than "Guest officer please come in" or something like that.
"Oh? Come here? Haha, this word is new. Your Excellency...are you the manager of this store? Or the owner?"
"Haha, I, Zhang Shun, rely on this shop to make a living."
"It turns out to be Boss Zhang. Disrespectful!"
The old man cupped his hands and smiled even more kindly. After sizing up Zhang Shun, he talked to Zhang Shun about the wheelchair under Zhang Shun's seat. I even sat on a sample and tried out the specific use of the wheelchair myself. Finally, he nodded repeatedly and praised that the wheelchair is indeed a good thing that seems simple but is of great use.
"Then the old man will see if there is any need. If so, we can pay a deposit first and then pick up the goods in order..." For business, although you need to greet warmly, it is still time to sell goods. Have to ask. If the other party doesn't buy it, then Zhang Shun can go and greet other customers.
However, the old man's answer was somewhat beyond Zhang Shun's expectations. He neither said he would buy it nor said he would not buy it.
"My surname is Luo, and my first name is Changshan. I am an old scholar in the field of miscellaneous knowledge. I heard that some of my colleagues were showing off their skills in Langyuan, so I came over to have a look, and I found out that they were indeed extraordinary. I wonder if I can meet your second brother. There are some things I want to say in person. Talk to him."
