Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

Winter is coming, the temperature in the town is gradually dropping, and snowflakes are falling. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei light a fire in the bookstore, the warm firelight reflects their faces, and the bookstore is full of a warm atmosphere.

That night, Wang Zhiqiang walked into the bookstore with a young woman. They looked nervous, as if they had something important to discuss.

Zhou Dong stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wang, who is this?"

Wang Zhiqiang introduced: "This is my sister, Wang Xiaofang. She just came from another place and encountered some troubles."

Wang Xiaofang lowered her head and said weakly, "Mr. He, Ms. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I really had no choice but to come to see my brother."

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei looked at each other and felt that the matter seemed complicated. They asked Wang Zhiqiang and Wang Xiaofang to sit down, poured them some hot tea, and comforted them: "It's okay, if there are any difficulties, we can find a solution together."

Wang Xiaofang raised her head, tears in her eyes. "When I was working in another place, I was cheated. Not only did I lose my job, but I also owed a large sum of money. Now those people have chased me here, and I really don't know what to do."

Zhou Dong frowned, a surge of anger rising in his heart, "How could such a thing happen! Xiaofang, don't worry, we will find a way to help you."

Lin Xiaomei comforted her softly: "Xiaofang, don't worry. This is our home, we will protect you."

After some discussion, Zhou Dong decided to temporarily take Wang Xiaofang in at their home and help her find a job through friends in the town. The people in the town trusted Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei very much and quickly helped Wang Xiaofang find a job in a restaurant.

As time went by, Wang Xiaofang gradually adapted to the life in the town. She worked hard to pay off her debts and gradually got out of trouble. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were also relieved that their small home was once again filled with warmth and joy.

One weekend afternoon, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei took Wang Zhiqiang and Wang Xiaofang to the mountains outside the town for an outing. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful and the air was fresh. The four of them laughed and enjoyed the beauty of nature all the way.

"Mr. He, Ms. Lin, thank you for your help all the time." Wang Zhiqiang said with emotion, "If it weren't for you, Xiaofang and I don't know what we would be like now."

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head. "Mr. Wang, don't say that. We are all friends, and we should help each other. As long as you are doing well, we will be relieved."

Lin Xiaomei also nodded, "Yes, we are very happy to see that your life is getting better and better now."

Wang Xiaofang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Mr. He, Ms. Lin, you are the noble people in our lives. No matter what happens in the future, we will always remember your kindness."

Zhou Dong patted her shoulder and said, "Xiaofang, don't say that. We are all a family. We will overcome difficulties together. As long as we work together, there will be a bright future."

As the sun sets, the four of them sit on the top of the mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, their hearts filled with hope and longing for the future.

Time flies, and life in the town remains peaceful and beautiful. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei's home has become a warm harbor in the town, and their lives are becoming more and more fulfilling. Wang Zhiqiang and Wang Xiaofang's work in the town is also becoming more and more smooth, and their efforts and dedication have been rewarded.

One evening, Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were cooking dinner at home when they heard a knock on the door. Zhou Dong opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Deliang. He looked exhausted and had obviously just arrived.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see! Please come in!" Zhou Dong greeted happily.

Zhang Deliang walked into the house with a smile, "Zhou Dong, Lin Xiaomei, long time no see! How are you doing?"

Zhou Dong warmly invited him to sit down and served him tea. "Mr. Zhang, we are doing well. Where have you been recently?"

Zhang Deliang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I went to several new places and saw many interesting things. I came back this time because I have important news to tell you."

Lin Xiaomei asked curiously: "What news?"

Zhang Deliang smiled mysteriously, "I met an old friend in another city, and he has a very interesting proposal. I think you will be interested."

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei looked at each other and asked curiously, "What's the proposal?"

Zhang Deliang continued, "This old friend of mine plans to open a cultural center in a beautiful town, providing various cultural activities and training courses. He hopes to find some talented and enthusiastic people to work with. I thought of you, and you are a perfect fit for this project."

Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were excited and curious. Zhou Dong asked, "Mr. Zhang, what does this cultural center require us to do?"

Zhang Deliang explained: "The cultural center needs all kinds of talents, including bookstore management, event planning, teacher training, etc. I think your experience and ability are very suitable for this project. If you are willing, you can go there to develop."

Sha Zhu is not stupid. He knows that he was framed by Xu Damao and has long been planning to seek justice for himself. On this day, Zhou Dong decided to make things clear, so he gathered some workers and held a small meeting in the factory cafeteria.

"Dear brothers and sisters, I, Zhou Dong, have never been afraid of facing difficulties. Today I will tell you the truth about the matter." Zhou Dong looked at everyone firmly, his eyes full of integrity and determination.

Everyone knew that Zhou Dong was an upright person and they trusted his words very much, so they nodded and showed that they were willing to listen to him.

Zhou Dong cleared his throat and said, "During this period, there have been some rumors that Qin Huairu and I have an ambiguous relationship and that I stole a woman. Today, I want to tell you that all of this is a false accusation by Xu Damao."

There was a sudden murmur among the crowd. Everyone was shocked by the news, but at the same time they focused more on listening to what Zhou Dong was going to say.

"Xu Damao deliberately made up these rumors for his own shameful purposes in an attempt to destroy my reputation." Zhou Dong's voice was firm, with anger in his eyes. "In fact, he saw that Qin Huairu and I had a good relationship, and he was jealous of our friendship, so he made up these lies."

Qin Huairu's eyes turned red when she heard this. She knew that Zhou Dong decided to come forward to clarify the facts in order to protect her. She walked to Zhou Dong and gently held his hand, "Yuzhu, thank you. Everyone, please believe that there is nothing wrong between us and there has never been any improper relationship."

Fellow workers expressed their support, and some even stood up to testify for Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu. Liu Dahai stood aside and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhou Dong's statement.

"Yuzhu, we believe you. Xu Damao has always liked to sow discord, and his false accusations are not worth believing." Liu Dahai said.

Zhou Dong looked at everyone gratefully and continued, "Brothers and sisters, I hope everyone can unite and not be deceived by these rumors. We must trust each other and work together to overcome difficulties."

Everyone nodded in support of Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu. They knew that true friendship and trust would not be defeated by rumors and false accusations.

At this moment, Xu Damao happened to pass by and saw this scene, his face turned livid. He originally thought that his false accusation would embarrass Zhou Dong, but unexpectedly it made everyone more united. He rushed forward angrily, pointed at Zhou Dong and shouted: "Zhou Dong, you are talking nonsense! You have no evidence to prove that I am framing you!"

Zhou Dong looked at Xu Damao calmly and said with a smile: "Xu Damao, you know best in your heart whether you did these things. I don't need evidence. Everyone has sharp eyes and they know who is lying."

Xu Damao was so angry that his face turned pale. He knew that it was pointless to argue any further, so he could only turn around and leave angrily.

Zhou Dong looked at his back and felt relieved. He knew that although the storm had subsided temporarily, he had to work harder and prove his innocence with practical actions.

At night, Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu sat in the courtyard, the moonlight shining on them, making them look particularly peaceful.

"Yuzhu, thank you for clarifying these things for me." Qin Huairu said in a low voice, her eyes full of gratitude.

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, "Sister Qin, we are friends, this is what I should do. As long as everyone understands the truth, everything will be fine."

Qin Huairu nodded, tears in her eyes, "Yuzhu, you are really a good person. I am very lucky to have a friend like you."

Zhou Dong patted her shoulder gently and said softly: "Sister Qin, don't be sad. There are still many days to come. We must work together to make life better."

As time went by, the relationship between Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu became stronger. They faced various difficulties in life together, supported each other, and gradually got out of the predicament.

A few months later, the town ushered in the annual Spring Cultural Festival. This festival is the most important cultural event in the town, and everyone is busy preparing various programs and performances. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei also decided to hold a special cultural event in the bookstore and invite the children in the town to participate in the reading club.

That morning, the bookstore was crowded with children. Zhou Dong stood in front of the bookshelf and said to everyone with a smile: "Today, we are going to share some interesting stories together. I hope everyone can find happiness and knowledge here."

The children sat on the ground excitedly, their eyes full of anticipation. Zhou Dong picked up a storybook and began to tell everyone an ancient legend. As he told the story, the children's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if they saw the world in the story and immersed themselves in it.

After the reading club ended, the children expressed their hope to participate in such activities again. Zhou Dong and Lin Xiaomei were very pleased, knowing that such activities not only allow children to gain knowledge, but also allow them to feel the warmth and care of the bookstore.
