The next day, Li Yong and Qiao Yicheng came to see Qiao Erqiang with their families. His noodle shop is located in the prosperous area near the center of Xuanwu District. However, in fact, this area has also been gradually developed in the past two years. It has become prosperous, so business is getting better and better.
In the past, Qiao Erqiang could ride his bike home to rest after closing the store every day, but now he can only stay in the store and rest. In addition to wasting time, it is also because he is too tired and doesn't want to move after a busy day.
Of course, this is what he chose and what he likes to do. To this day, he has not forgotten his original intention. Therefore, although the profit of the store is not high, the reputation is good and the income is still considerable through small profits but quick turnover.
Now Qiao Erqiang is the most profitable person in the Qiao family. He will laugh when he mentions that he saved money for transportation and food just for a cultural shirt.
Simei and Qiqi also like this second brother very much. When they look forward to his return the most, they always bring something, either delicious food or gifts. Most of Simei’s beautiful dresses were bought by Qiao Erqiang. He himself is He didn't have that vision, it was all Qiao Simei who took a fancy to him and asked him to pay for it.
Qiao Erqiang is only 14 or 5 years old this year, and he is already aiming for a household worth ten thousand yuan. Of course, he is still a little far away, but this is also the goal Li Yong has set for him within five years.
However, it seems that they came at the wrong time today. There was a group of people outside the noodle shop, but they were not queuing - not even to the point of queuing, but just watching.
"What's going on?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiao Yicheng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately squeezed in to find Qiao Erqiang.
Li Yong, Sanli and the others also squeezed in, but saw Erqiang and two helpers from the noodle shop cleaning up the mess. Li Yong immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Sanli and the others also looked at Qiao Erqiang worriedly. Qiqi didn't say anything, but she also went over and grabbed Qiao Erqiang's pants to give him strength.
Although he is more lively and even public now, Qiao Qiqi still occasionally retains some of his original habits, but now it may be called pretending to be cool.
Qiao Erqiang said with a sad face: "I don't know. A group of them suddenly came over and smashed up our store. One of them said that if he sees me and his wife again, I don't know if he will do it again." come over."
Qiao Yicheng's face darkened and he immediately asked, "Did you call the police?"
Someone next to him immediately said: "There's no point in calling the police. Everyone has run away and I don't know where they are. The police want evidence and they need to be caught on the spot. How to catch someone if you don't know anything?"
Qiao Erqiang also said: "There are too many people coming and going here. You can often see new faces, and I think many of them have foreign accents. It's not that easy to find them."
Simei asked: "Then you should know who your wife is, right?"
When she said this, someone immediately laughed, "A few of our old customers can testify that Qiangzi doesn't have time to talk to people. He might be making noodles in his dreams at night."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed. It seemed that Qiao Erqiang was well-known for his honesty and diligence in this area, so he was not only watching, but also had people helping them from time to time.
It's just that they probably came here mainly to eat noodles. Looking at it like this, I don't know if they can still eat it.
In the end, Qiao Erqiang thanked everyone first, and then apologized that he couldn't make noodles for everyone today. Everyone understood, so the crowd gradually dispersed, and the store was almost packed, but at this time, not to mention the lack of time, I have no idea, and I don’t know if those people will come back again.
When the family sat down, Qiao Erqiang asked the two helpers to go back first and give them a day off before looking at Li Yong.
At this time, he felt that the only one who could help him was Li Yong, "Brother, can you think of a way?"
Qiao Yicheng and the others also looked at him. Although it sounded ridiculous, after all, Li Yong definitely didn't know more than they did. It could be seen that they were used to all kinds of magic created by Li Yong, and they felt that Li Yong might really be able to think. Come up with solutions.
Without that sentence, Li Yong might not have thought of it, and he thought it might be a coincidence. But after hearing that sentence, Li Yong could not understand whether Qiao Erqiang was following the same old path or had provoked Ma Suqin's husband. .
To be honest, this is definitely an unforeseen disaster.
If it was in a TV series, it would be okay to say that they did have a romantic relationship. But here, as far as Li Yong knew, they only said a few words at most. Ma Suqin did not have much interaction with other customers at Qiao Erqiang. Big difference.
Having learned from the past, of course Li Yong also deliberately tested Qiao Erqiang and asked him about his impressions of several customers, including Ma Suqin. In the end, his reactions were similar, which is enough to show that his current attitude towards them is very ordinary.
In fact, this is easy to understand, because without getting along together, there is no opportunity to get closer and enhance feelings.
Moreover, after opening such a snack bar for two years, he has met all kinds of people. It is not like living in a factory, with a fixed time, a fixed space, and the same faces. This will make him gradually become familiar with it. Habits then give rise to certain feelings, including feelings that should not be felt.
But there is no chance here. Qiao Erqiang may not even know Ma Suqin's real name or the situation in her family.
Ma Suqin's husband is a violent maniac. He beats and scolds her frequently, and then he will try to win her back. Then he will admit his mistakes again next time but refuses to change his ways.
Ma Suqin was trapped in the whirlpool of the family. At first she had a little hope for her husband, but then it was wiped out time and time again. Just because of her children, she could not get rid of him.
This time it may be because she said a few words to Qiao Erqiang and he saw her, and then she had an attack when she returned.
Of course Ma Suqin knew what kind of person her husband was, and knew that if she really told him that she had a relationship with Qiao Erqiang, he might find trouble with the store owner.
It's just that she is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. Just because she has nothing to do with Qiao Erqiang now, she doesn't have such a big psychological burden.
Maybe it was for myself or for my son, so I shifted the responsibility to Qiao Erqiang, maybe it was him who took the initiative to hook up.
Of course, these are just Li Yong's conjectures, but if they are really a couple, they should be inseparable.
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Second Qiang, I guess this has something to do with a few customers you have frequent contact with. Please tell me about a few female regular customers so that I can find a starting point."
Of course he could go directly to Ma Suqin, but he still had to go through the normal process to look normal.
In addition, this matter may also be a butterfly effect, so you need to be prepared first.
And if it was really Ma Suqin and her husband, then Li Yong felt that he had to help Qiao Erqiang complete some things that she had not yet completed, not to mention that this was also to prevent him from going down the same old path.
Having said that, Sanli has grown up. At about the same age, Li Yong's body has certainly developed in time, and is even a little ahead of his own.
Just like how he looks now, he doesn't look like a boy who is only thirteen years old at all. Except that his face is a little immature, he is no different from Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin. He is taller and stronger than them, and also He seemed more mature, so it was natural for Qiao Erqiang to call him "Brother" now.
So, it seems like something can be done.
Hey, I have worked so hard for this family, and now I may have to pay for it with my innocent body. Is it easy for me?
