Upon hearing that Li Sui was in the business of face threading, the child seemed very happy.
"Really? You can do face threading? My older sister is getting married. My mom said she needs to have her face threaded. Will you help my sister? Once it's done, she can get into the bridal sedan, and I can have wedding candies!"
"Sure, but my skills aren't cheap. It'll cost at least half a peck of new rice," Li Sui feigned a calculating demeanor.
"We have rice! My brother-in-law's family are landlords; they have lots of rice. Come with me!" The child, hugging a ball, led the way.
With just a few simple questions, Li Sui easily gathered some information about the village. The child was named Chen Junyu, and this place was called Chen Family Village. The nearest county town was over a hundred miles away, making it relatively remote.
