Chapter 3 — My Boyfriend and I Open a Grocery Store Together?

I found some store owners with good connections and asked them to help connect buyers. Then go out and collect a few fake items that look okay, and gradually replace all the real items in the store. Every day is so busy that my feet don't touch the ground. At this moment, Tran Chu's mother came. My expression darkened. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately showed off her bossy, bossy appearance. "Van Van and Tran Chu went on business, I came to take care of the shop in their place. All purchases and sales must be checked by me first." Anger flared up inside me. This shop has a total investment of 1 million, Tran Chu lamented being poor, only spending 100 thousand. I don't compare, I still split the profits in half. But now, he has the audacity to send his mother to monitor me. What a childish act of his. I thought for a moment, then appeared obedient: "Auntie, Tran Chu is not here, of course I have to listen to you in business matters." She snorted smugly. I immediately took out my phone and texted my junior brother. In less than ten minutes, he appeared. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "I want to buy ancient jade!" Tran Chu's mother immediately lit up her eyes and excitedly displayed more than a dozen pieces of jade on the glass counter, arranged in neat rows. Junior brother glanced at me, his eyes full of pity. He picked up a piece of Han Bach Ngoc white jade and calmly asked: "Is this piece for sale for 5 thousand?" I just bowed my head and played with my phone, acting like I didn't care. Tran Chu's mother is not completely stupid. She immediately took out the phone to call her son. But the archaeological team only operates in remote wilderness areas, with no signal at all. My brother started to show signs of impatience. "In the end, can anyone decide? Whether to sell or not?" Tran Chu's mother panicked and quickly pulled me aside. “How much does this piece come in?” I smiled calmly. "This is not worth it. It's only a few hundred dong." Her eyes lit up with joy. Without any hesitation, she immediately sold a piece of ancient jade worth 200 thousand to my junior brother for 5 thousand. My mood immediately improved. Tran Chu's mother was also proud and boastful. "What's so difficult about trading like this? See? Just a few minutes and I've already earned several thousand!" I nodded repeatedly, flattering without hesitation. "Wow, you have a natural talent! You're also flexible. You were truly born to do this job!" She smiled complacently, her face showing the disdain of someone who didn't know she had just done something stupid. After looking around the shop, she squinted her eyes and arrogantly pointed her finger at me. "Van Van, take the vases on the shelf to the counter. Also, those two bronze statues. Don't display things too far away, it will be difficult to sell!" I happily replied immediately: "Okay!" Quickly carry a few fake vases and place them on the counter. But she still found it unsatisfactory. After that, he ran to the door, broke a few morning glory branches and put them in the vase, only then was he reluctantly satisfied. I calmly sat at the door, away from the area where "disaster was about to strike". Let her do whatever she wants. I'm worried there's no one to blame. This old lady, is the perfect candidate!

Tran Chu's mother proudly took out her phone and immediately opened a video call in the family group. She was gesticulating and excitedly showing off to everyone about the vases she had just "rearranged". The aunts and uncles in the group immediately rushed to contribute and chirping comments. Tran Chu's mother is afraid of everyone The person couldn't see clearly, so he brought the vase close to the camera and turned it from all angles, wholeheartedly showing off. The group of relatives continuously marveled in amazement. She laughed so loudly that she forgot all about heaven and earth. I sat far away, quietly observing that show off. Not unexpected. Tran Chu's mother's hand carelessly moved a little. The Mai Tho vase holding morning glory flowers slid off the counter. She panicked and reflexively reached out to grab it. But not only could it not be held, but it also dragged other vases down with it.

“Zhang! Zhuang! Zhuang!”

A series of harsh sounds rang out. The shiny vases suddenly turned into a pile of broken pieces scattered all over the floor. Both Tran Chu's mother and relatives through the video were stunned and dumbfounded. I slowly stood up, leisurely walked over... to watch the fun. Tran Chu's mother was so frightened that her voice trembled.

“Van Van... these vases... probably aren't very expensive, right?”

I turned around to face the screen, where the aunties in the chat group were still dumbfounded. Gently said: "It's not really too expensive..." Tran Chu's mother clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

“…probably more than 900 thousand or so.”

The whole group of relatives in the video were shocked and speechless. Tran Chu's mother's face immediately turned pale, her mouth opened without saying a word. The aunts saw that the situation was not good, so they took turns leaving the chat group, pretending like they had never seen anything. It took a while for her to regain her composure, point straight at me, and scream: "You stood there watching the vase fall without bothering to run to grab it, so why keep you in the store?" Oh, are you playing tricks again? I calmly threw the broom in my hand aside and coldly replied: "You broke it yourself, and now you're going to blame it on me?" Seeing that I wasn't easy to bully, she immediately changed her tactics and played tricks.

"I'm only responsible for taking care of the shop, broken items have nothing to do with me, you pay for it yourself!"

I crossed my arms, raised my eyebrows and smiled faintly. "Whoever breaks it will pay for it. If you refuse to accept it, then Tran Chu will have to bear it!" Tran Chu's mother immediately got mad!

"You dare! If you dare to blame this on my son, then don't step foot in our house again!"

If it was before, maybe I would still be a little hesitant. But now? I laughed coldly, my tone was decisive: "Don't worry! I won't go into that house again. When your son comes home, we'll completely cut it off!" Tran Chu's mother couldn't believe it, just snorted coldly, showing the "do whatever you want" look. I calmly took a picture of the pile of debris on the floor and sent it straight to Tran Chu. Take this opportunity to deal with him immediately!
