"Where?" Su Liuye was pleasantly surprised, not expecting to get this unexpected news.
"It's not far over there." Wu Zhang pointed them in a direction, "It's just..."
"Just what?"
Mrs. Wu Zhang sighed and said, "I won't hide it from my benefactor. My father originally left that store, but it was chopped up by Wu Ping. He wanted to hand over the land deed to Master Zhang many times. Master Zhang had a My relatives own a steamed stuffed bun shop in the town, and they took a fancy to the store left by my father early on... Over the years, whenever I wanted to sell the store, Wu Ping would come and cause trouble."
"Who is this? He's so outrageous!" Qin Lian was angry and said, "Sister, please take us to have a look. We walked around the town for a long time today and couldn't find an empty store. .”
"Yes, the town is very lively near Lingjiang." Mrs. Wu Zhang said with a smile.
Su Liuye also knows this truth.
Luoxi Town is so bustling and bustling, even if there is an empty store, someone will take it over immediately, usually to an acquaintance. People like her who come from out of town have no acquaintances in the town, so it is difficult to find a store.
"Auntie, could you please take us to see it?" Su Liuye said.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu Zhang asked her two daughters to look at the stalls for the time being. She took Su Liuye and others along the alley to the bustling street.
There are various shops open along the way here, and it is very lively with customers coming and going.
But as Wu Zhang turned a corner, a three-story shop appeared in front of him. Due to a long-term lack of maintenance, the store looks a bit dilapidated. The original writing on the plaque hanging on the door can no longer be seen clearly, and the lock on the door is rusty.
"Guys, please follow me to the back door."
Mrs. Wu Zhang walked in front, walked around the alley, unlocked the back door, and opened the door to see a quiet little courtyard.
Although no one has taken care of it for a long time and weeds have grown all over the ground, the owner's past intentions cannot be seen.
This is a square courtyard, very similar to the layout of Cyclamen. The front is the store, the back is the living area, and there is a small courtyard in the middle.
Su Liuye looked around inside and found that it was indeed quite suitable here, and the street outside was also very lively.
She was so happy that she immediately said, "Ms. Zhang, how can I buy it in your store?"
On the way here, Wu Zhang briefly told her about the situation at home.
She was originally the daughter of a family named Zhang in the town, and had a marriage contract with the Wu family. It was originally a beautiful thing, but before the marriage, the Zhang family suffered huge changes. Most of the family property was sold, and the parents passed away one after another. At this time, the Wu family completely changed their attitude, beating and scolding Zhang, and coveting her. family property.
Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to reconcile and raise her two daughters alone, but Wu Ping had a good relationship with the yamen's master and the yamen did not agree with her reconciliation. Wu Ping saw the opportunity and often came to look for trouble.
Zhang went to the government several times, but each time she returned without success under Zhang Shan's protection, and was even imprisoned for several days. As time passed, Mrs. Zhang no longer dared to resist.
That was exactly what Su Liuye saw.
"Shopkeeper Su, do you really want to buy it?" Mrs. Zhang said sadly, "Shopkeeper Su, you also know who Wu Ping is. If he knew that I sold the store to you, I'm afraid he wouldn't give up."
"Can Ms. Zhang recommend any other stores to me?"
"No." Zhang shook his head.
"Then if you are willing, just buy this store from me." Su Liuye said, "This store just suits my liking. I've been shopping in the town for a long time, and I haven't seen any empty stores at all. Madam Zhang, you You also know that I came from Qinghe Town and have been delayed here for several days. I still have things waiting for me in Qinghe Town."
She paused and then said, "How about this, Madam Zhang, I've been delayed in Luoxi Town for so long, so it's time to go back and take a look. I'll let Shi Feng stay here and watch. If you figure it out, Go talk to Shi Feng."
"……also."
Madam Zhang nodded and asked them if they had a place to stay in Luoxi Town. If they didn't mind, they could stay in this store temporarily.
Several rooms in the backyard have been tidied up, and there is no problem for Shi Feng to live here temporarily.
Zhang can only live with Wu Ping now, and occasionally brings her two daughters to stay in the store. It's just that she can't stay here for too long, otherwise Wu Ping will come to find her again.
Looking at the bruises at the corners of Zhang's eyes, Su Liuye still felt angry, "Mrs. Zhang, if you still want to reconcile now, you can go directly to the Yamen to reconcile. Master Zhang and Wu Ping have communicated with each other many times, Luo Xi The town government colluded with the bandits, such a serious crime is enough to make them lose their heads!"
"this……"
Zhang's eyes flickered.
Su Liuye also knew that it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so she didn't say much.
She paid some rent to Zhang and allowed Shi Feng to live here temporarily, and she could also check out what other shops were nearby.
Shi Feng was very pleased with this arrangement and even said that he would go to a nearby restaurant to see what signature dishes there were.
Luoxi Town has developed shipping, and the specialties here come from all over the world, many of which Shi Feng has never seen before.
After settling the store affairs for the time being, Su Liuye took Qin Lian to the Yamen, while Mingyin was playing with the little white dog in the backyard.
Su Liuye asked Qin Lian to wait aside. She went over and said, "Xiaoyin, I want to go back to Qinghe Town. Do you want to come with me?"
"Qinghe Town?"
"Yes, I am originally from Qinghe Town. I came to Luoxi Town this time to deal with something. I have been away from Qinghe Town for a few days, and it's time to go back and take a look."
Mingyin was silent for a moment, then held the little white dog barking around his feet in his arms, "I'll go with you."
"OK."
She had promised Yang Chongzhou that she would take care of him, but Ming Yin was willing to be with her, so naturally she had to watch.
After explaining everything, she found Yang Chongzhou and explained her itinerary. After hearing this, Yang Chongzhou decided to go with them and keep an eye on Ming Yin on the way.
Su Liuye didn't have any objections. He prepared the carriage that day and set off early the next morning.
Before leaving, she asked Shi Feng to wait for Old Man Liu here. If Old Man Liu came back, she would tell him that the yamen affairs were settled and there was no need to bother Master Xie.
She originally wanted to ask Mr. Xie to help her sue the Luoxi Town Yamen, but she didn't expect that Wu Ping kicked the puppy and made Ming Yin angry.
Looking at the boy sitting next to him holding the little white dog, Su Liuye felt ashamed.
It seems that the one who really cannot be offended is this little white dog. The backer is too big!
Yang Chongzhou was riding a horse outside, and they were sitting on the carriage.
As the driver whipped his horse, the carriage started slowly and set off along the avenue towards Qinghe Town.
The carriage moved slowly and in a hurry, and it took two days to arrive at Qinghe Town.
