Chapter 84: Jacket
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiu Tong was thinking about her four children and rejected Jin Yang’s invitation without hesitation. She waved at him and got out of the car.
However, as soon as Qiu Tong swung one leg out of the car, she froze and stopped.
She looked at Jin Yang awkwardly as she gripped the side of her pants tightly.
Jin Yang heard the sound of fabric being torn. He was stunned at first, but then his lips curled into a faint smile.
He looked at Qiu Tong’s slightly embarrassed expression and cleared his throat, trying his best to suppress the urge to laugh.
Qiu Tong glared at him.
This jerk was laughing at her expense!
“Let me help you.”
Jin Yang got out of the car and walked around the front of the car. He bent down and carried Qiu Tong out of the passenger seat. He then tied his suit jacket around Qiu Tong’s waist, perfectly blocking the view of her exposed thighs.
Qiu Tong thanked him in a low voice and kept her face expressionless, but she ran away quickly.
Jin Yang looked at her departing profile and finally burst out laughing.
This girl… was really cute.
Qiu Xingyuan witnessed everything from the second floor.
Luxury car, strange man, jacket, intimacy…
These four words completely occupied Qiu Xingyuan’s mind. He felt that Qiu Tong’s old habits were returning.
Once this woman had a man, she would lose her mind.
Just like this time, she left them in the house alone for a few days without leaving any word…
However, this time, he would not allow Qiu Tong to bully his siblings. It was time for him to plan for the future.
Qiu Xingyuan looked at the locust pesticide on the table with a heavy gaze and had a plan in mind.
Actually, he had already successfully developed the locust pesticide last night. Initially, he wanted to give Qiu Tong a surprise, but he did not expect to see such a thing.
Therefore, he decided not to tell Qiu Tong about this matter and to find a way to sell it himself.
As long as he had money, he could lead a rich life with his siblings.
Qiu Xingyuan brought the locust pesticide to the market. After looking around for a while, he found a corner and placed the pesticide neatly on the ground before squatting down.
The passersby saw that Qiu Xingyuan was only five or six years old, yet he already looked like a little adult, coming out to set up a stall to sell things. While they were curious, they also pitied him, so there were quite a few people who came over to inquire.
However, when they found out that it was locust pesticide, they couldn’t help having doubts.
“This child is all nonsense. The climate has been so good this year, how could there be a locust plague?”
“That’s right. How many years has it been since a locust plague occurred?”
“Kid, no one’s going to buy your locust pesticide.”
Although Qiu Xingyuan felt that Qiu Tong was unreliable, he did not doubt her analysis of the possibility of a locust plague in the future.
He said calmly, “Have you seen such a long period of time without rain before?”
“Have you ever encountered such a hot and dry summer?”
“Such weather means that there might be a drought this year.”
“Historical records tell us that there is a 50% chance that droughts will be accompanied by a locust plague.
“If we don’t take precautions in advance, then all the hard work of the farmers this year will be wasted. When that time comes, the entire crop yield will be reduced.”
“What’s more, even without the locust plague, spending a little money to buy this would make one feel more at ease.”
Qiu Xingyuan’s words made the surrounding people fall into deep thought.
They could not deny that this child’s words were indeed reasonable. If they bought some back, even if there was no locust plague in the end, they could still use it to kill some other pests. It would not be a huge loss.
Most of the people took out their money, and a faint smile crossed Qiu Xingyuan’s small face.
Lu Zhiling, who was standing nearby, captured his look.
Lu Zhiling had just finished shopping at a nearby mall with Mayor Shen and was about to drive off for lunch.
She was sitting in the car and had her attention attracted by the crowd. She did not expect to see Qiu Tong’s son setting up a stall by the street.
Lu Zhiling had been to the villa area before and had seen this child with Qiu Tong.
She stared fixedly at Qiu Xingyuan, a trace of viciousness flashing across her eyes.
“My dear, there seems to be a child selling things over there.”
Lu Zhiling hugged Mayor Shen’s arm intimately and said coquettishly, “I think that child definitely didn’t pay the stall fees. He’s taking advantage of his young age, but is disrupting the market and breaking the rules. Isn’t that terrible?”
“Look, there are so many people gathered there. What if there’s a riot later? What should we do?”
“This is a safety hazard. If something really happened, wouldn’t it be a stain on your reputation?”
