Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 29 Store Expansion (8)

The next day, Ban You woke up dazed from his hangover.

She drank a lot last night, and her head still hurt. She shook her head, and when she felt a little more sober, she got dressed and got out of bed.

The sky was a bit gray this morning and You'an Hall was not open yet.

Ban You plans to take this opportunity to list the current progress of Task Five.

"Two rooms for selling items have been completed. The items currently on sale in the store are..."

Ban You thought about the things currently on the shelves and counted them.

"The things we sell in the store now include chicken jerky, duck jerky, vegetable jerky, pet clothes, pet accessories, chicken and pear food, duck and vegetable food, and vegetable food..."

Ban You looked at the things he had just written and drawn and said to himself, "There are eight products in total now, and I still need two more..."

She rested her chin on the brush and her eyes moved around.

"Cloud City... there are a lot of people who keep cats and dogs... new products... let's just sell canned food!"

Ban You thought about it and his eyes lit up.

"Then let's research canned chicken and duck! Perfect~"

After hearing Ban You's words, the system hesitated: "Host... Category... Food should be considered a category, right?"

"Hiss...what are you talking about? The chicken and pear food contains chicken and pears, and the duck and vegetable food contains duck and vegetables. The ingredients are different, how can they be considered the same category! Do you have any common sense?" Ban You said angrily.

The system didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

It secretly glanced at the task progress, and found that the progress of the sales category progress bar was 80%.

"Damn! It actually works!"

"Huh? What's really possible?" Ban You was a little confused by the system's sudden loss of composure.

"The Mission Management Bureau actually separates chicken feed and duck feed into two categories!"

Ban You had a "just watch" expression on his face, looking very proud.

"Okay, okay, don't bother me, I'm not done yet."

After Ban You finished speaking, the system immediately muted the microphone.

"Next is... the number of pets..."

Ban You thought about the little guys she had now, and finally determined that she was still five pets away from meeting the requirement.

However, Ban You already had a good idea on how to achieve this goal quickly.

She picked up the paper filled with progress notes with a look of satisfaction and sighed softly: "Ah~ This progress, I'm really awesome!"

Ban You had just put the paper away when he saw Li Yiyi walking out of the room yawning.

"Sister, you woke up so early."

"Sister, you're awake." Ban You walked over with a smile on her face, took Li Yiyi's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, let's go out for breakfast. I want to eat the buns from the shop at the corner of West Hutong."

"Okay, little greedy cat."

After the two of them had a satisfying breakfast, You'an Hall started its business for the day.

In the evening, after You'an Hall closed, Ban You counted the bill, took the hot tea that Li Yiyi had just brewed and took a sip, then thought of something and looked at Li Yiyi.

"Sister, I plan to go to Flower and Bird Street tomorrow and buy some fish to raise."

"Huh? Why do you want to raise fish?"

"Look, the pond is ready. There's no need to waste water. I'd buy some fish to add some fun to the yard."

Li Yiyi nodded. "That's true. There's nothing else in this yard except that tree. I'll accompany you to the Flower and Bird Street tomorrow. We can also buy a few pots of flowers to decorate the yard."

Since Aunt Wang was still at the Li family, Li Yiyi returned to the Li family at night.

The next day, the sun filled the yard. Ban You took advantage of the early morning when the weather was not too hot and filled a few buckets of water into the pool, preparing to dry it out so that he could use it to buy fish later.

After she finished cleaning up, the servant came over. After giving him some instructions, she went to Li's house.

When she was about to reach Li's house, she saw a small figure coming out of the Li's house from afar and walking away with the man standing at the door of the Li's house.

She always felt that the two figures were familiar.

Ban You walked up to the Li family with some doubts and knocked on the door.

It was Cuicui who opened the door.

"Cui Cui, are the two people who just left Xiaobao and Zheng Laocai?"

Cuicui hesitated when she heard what Banyou said. Banyou saw Cuicui's expression and knew that he had guessed right.

She was a little helpless: "Don't worry, I'm just asking, I just saw it and felt a little familiar."

Cuicui nodded after hearing what Ban You said: "It's Master Xiaobao and Master Zheng."

Ban You nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When we arrived at the dining room, Li Yiyi and Aunt Wang were having breakfast.

Their eyes were red, and it was obvious that they had just cried.

Cuicui was about to say something when Ban You signaled her to be quiet.

Ban You's eyes darkened, then she smiled and said, "I haven't eaten the breakfast made by your cook yet, sister. Now I'm in for a treat!"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the chair and sat down. Cuicui served her a set of bowls and chopsticks.

"Your sudden noise scared me. Cuicui did the same, and she didn't tell me."

"Don't blame her, sister. I told her not to make any noise."

As Ban You spoke, he picked up a bun with a thin skin and big filling.

She took a bite and was filled with the juicy and fragrant meat.

"Delicious!" Ban You said, picking up one and putting it in Li Yiyi's bowl. "Sister, food is more important than anything else. No matter what happens, you can't not eat. Otherwise, how will you have the energy to think about anything else?"

She looked at Li Yiyi with bright eyes and gentle tone.

Li Yiyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded: "Sister, you are right, Auntie, let's eat first."

"Yeah!" Aunt Wang also nodded.

The three of them finished their breakfast calmly and quietly.

After dinner, Ban You sat in a chair drinking hot tea, looking at Li Yiyi's tired expression, and sighed.

"What you've been hiding from me these days is about Xiaobao, right?"

"Ever since we started researching how to make clothes, you've been in contact with Xiaobao, and you'll bring him home when you're free, right?" Ban You said as she looked at Li Yiyi, with helplessness and confusion on her face.

"Sister...I..."

"Even Aunt Wang rarely comes to the courtyard anymore. Is it because she's taking care of Xiaobao?"

"And on the opening day..."

Before Ban You could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Yiyi: "Sister!"

"You and I……"

Ban You looked at Li Yiyi's conflicted expression and the way she rubbed her hands together, and sighed.

"Sister, we are sisters and family. Why are you hiding these things from me?"

"I'm afraid..." Li Yiyi lowered her head and said, her voice choked with sobs, "I was so determined not to give up Xiaobao at the beginning, but now I have the opportunity to take Xiaobao to take care of him. I'm afraid you will think I'm fickle and that I'm not a good mother."

Ban You sighed softly, walked to Li Yiyi, squatted down, and looked at her sincerely and firmly.

"Sister, you are a very good mother. You love Xiaobao very much. Even if you didn't bring him with you at the beginning, it was because Zheng Laocai interfered. It's not your fault."

Li Yiyi looked at Ban You, her eyes filled with tears.

"But I still let Xiaobao go back, even though he told me that Zheng Laocai didn't like him and only liked that woman's son. But the divorce papers clearly stated that Xiaobao was given to Zheng Laocai."

"If I hadn't offered money as a bargain, Mr. Zheng wouldn't even let me see Xiaobao."

"Do you know? That day, Xiaobao came to me crying and told me that Zheng Laocai beat him. I was furious and wanted to ask Zheng Laocai, but Xiaobao said that he ran away secretly and if Zheng Laocai knew, he would beat him again!"

"That's my own flesh and blood, the product of ten months of pregnancy! How can I not feel heartbroken and angry? But I can't help it..."

Li Yiyi cried heart-wrenchingly, Ban You's eyes were red, and even Aunt Wang who was sitting next to her was wiping her tears.

Ban You thought about it, then looked at Li Yiyi with a firm look in her eyes: "Sister Yiyi, let's work together to find a way to bring Xiaobao back!"

"Is there really a way? The laws of the Great Zhou are strict. If a couple divorces, the child must go to the husband. I..."

"It will happen, believe me!"

Li Yiyi nodded vigorously, with trust in his tone: "Okay, I believe you!"
