1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 74 Are you willing to let go and let him pursue someone else?
"Have you had a crush on him for a long time?"

My cousin has a unique way of thinking; she sensed something different in the meaning.

"Uh."

Lin Xiyu was embarrassed, her ears turning red: "Is that the point?"

"I think that's the most important thing."

My cousin analyzed rationally: "Just think about it, he's someone you like, would you want to see him with someone else?"

"I don't want to."

"Wouldn't it hurt if he was nice to other girls?"

"meeting."

Are you willing to let go and let him pursue someone else?

"I'm reluctant to part with it."

"That'll do."

Her older cousin patted her shoulder hard, expressing encouragement in an older sisterly way: "Since you can't bear to let go and don't want to be sad, then do your best to hold on to him, make yourself better, be worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and don't let your youth leave any regrets."

"Ah."

Lin Xiyu's eyes flashed with emotion, and she nodded vigorously.

-

"What a pretty girl! Is she still a student? She looks so young."

As the two sisters were talking, a woman in her early thirties walked over with a smile and struck up a conversation with them.

"Yes."

When Lin Xiyu saw her looking at her, she readily admitted it.

"Are you the boss lady?"

My cousin, with her sharp eyes, recognized her as the owner of the barbecue stall and deliberately tried to get closer to her: "We've set up our stall here, causing you trouble."

"What trouble are you talking about?"

The proprietress covered her mouth and laughed, "Doing business is all about popularity. Your stall here has brought us popularity. People who didn't originally intend to eat barbecue here, once they saw such a pretty young lady, their eyes widened and they couldn't tear themselves away. They immediately changed their minds."

"This is a mutually beneficial situation for us."

My cousin was quick-witted and kept up with the pace. "That's right, exactly."

The proprietress smiled even more broadly, turning her gaze away from Lin Xiyu and onto the clothes on the shelf.

"Boss lady, would you like one? I'll give you a discount."

My cousin reacted quickly, instantly switching to sales mode: "Others pay ten yuan for one item, you only need to pay nine."

"That would be great."

The proprietress was delighted to hear this, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "I really do like the dress your sister is wearing."

"This one."

My cousin rummaged through the clothes piled on the tricycle for a while, then shook her head helplessly: "There aren't any new ones. If you want them, I'll ask around tomorrow to see if there are any left in the warehouse."

"Sigh, it would have been better if I had come a little earlier."

The proprietress said regretfully, "I was planning to wear this to my class reunion tomorrow."

Lin Xiyu: "If you want it, I'll go change it."

"no need."

The shop owner smiled and stopped her, saying, "Your waist is too small; it won't fit me."

You're not fat.

Her cousin winked at Lin Xiyu, signaling her to change her clothes, while her words were sweet as honey: "You can tell she's living a comfortable life, she takes good care of herself, and her waist is as slim as a twenty-one or twenty-two-year-old unmarried woman."

"Hahaha."

The proprietress couldn't stop praising her.

Lin Xiyu took the opportunity to go to the public restroom, took off her short-sleeved shirt and skirt, changed into her own clothes, and came back.

“My sister wears this size a size too big, and her waist is a bit too big.”

My cousin shoved the dress at the shop owner, enthusiastically recommending it: "Try it on first, and if it doesn't fit, you can exchange it for another style. My sister has a great eye; let her help you put together an outfit, and I guarantee you'll find something you like."

"Okay, I'll go change it right away."

The proprietress was so persuaded by her words that she readily agreed.
