After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 43 Shop
Strand.Meng Yuxuan stood at the door of Lincai Tofu Shop, looking around to observe the nearby terrain and environment.

The left and right sides of this tofu shop are the butcher shop and the noodle shop, and it seems that the business is not doing well.There are rouge shops, clothing shops, and iron shops nearby.

The houses here are quite old, and it looks like it has been around for some years.The main reason is that there are not many tourists here. Almost everyone goes to the West Street, and few people come to the East Street.

The buildings on West Street are relatively new, and there are the most luxurious restaurants, the busiest brothels, and the cheapest butcher shops.If people want to buy something, they only need to go to West Street, and they can usually get everything together.Over time, people don't like to go to Dongjie even more.East Street is far from the gate of the city, and it is inconvenient to walk there.

But Meng Yuxuan looked at all the shops on West Street, and those resold ones were not to her liking.West Street was too crowded, which made it impossible for her to manage her shop properly.East Street is different.There are many shops to choose from here, and there is a lot of space to play, and the price is much cheaper than that on West Street.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to buy something?" The wife of the butcher shop stared at Meng Yuxuan and said.

Meng Yuxuan took a look, isn't this the proprietress who scolded her last time?It's really a narrow road.It seems that this tofu shop that is going to be resold cannot be bought.There is such a person next door, does she still need to do business?

Meng Yuxuan was about to leave when the lady boss of the tofu shop came out.Seeing Meng Yuxuan, she hurriedly said, "Girl, do you want to buy a shop?"

The proprietress looked young, but her eyes were darkened and her face was haggard. She seemed to have been troubled by something for a long time, and she hadn't slept for a long time.

Meng Yuxuan hesitated.The proprietress next door was still staring at her, which was unbearable.She doesn't want to live in a battle with this kind of person all day long.However, the proprietress looked as if she was in urgent need of money, and her eyes begged her, as if to say 'help me'.And she was very satisfied with the size of the tofu shop.

"I really want to buy a shop, but I don't like the lady proprietress next door. So, sorry, I have to find a new place." Meng Yuxuan said shyly.

"Don't go." The proprietress of the tofu shop took Meng Yuxuan's hand and said eagerly: "Girl, please buy my shop, I really need money urgently."

"But..." Meng Yuxuan glanced at the tofu shop, then at the butcher shop next door, thought for a while and said, "If you can convince the butcher shop next door to sell it to me, I will buy your shop. If not , I can’t buy it. I can’t hurt myself just to help you.”

"That's no problem. In fact, Aunt Yang next door has long complained that there is no business. It's better to sell the shop and go back to the countryside to farm. It's just that their butcher shop is too dilapidated, and no one has been willing to buy it." The tofu shop owner said: "I'll go Tell Aunt Yang to see if she is willing to sell it. If she is willing, the girl must not lose her word."

"Naturally. I was going to buy a store. As long as the price is right, it doesn't matter who I buy?" Meng Yuxuan nodded.

"Then girl, come in and sit down! I'll go and ask Aunt Yang right now." Saying this, the lady boss of the tofu shop walked to the butcher shop next door.

Meng Yuxuan walked into the tofu shop, ignoring the piercing gaze of the proprietress next door.The tofu shop is full of tools for making tofu.It's pretty neat.It can be seen that the owner is a diligent person.It's just that there is no business, and I don't know how long I haven't made tofu.

Meng Yuxuan thought that even if she bought the store, she could keep these tools.She can also make tofu for sale.The original owner has no business, but she has space water, so there will be business.

"Aunt Yang, this is the girl who is willing to buy our shop. Tell me a price, let's sell it together! There is no business anyway, do you think that is the reason?"

The butcher shop proprietress looked at Meng Yuxuan with critical eyes, which were full of mean calculations.She said: "It's not impossible to buy my shop. The price is 100 taels, and I won't sell anything less."

Meng Yuxuan smiled lowly and shook her head lightly.She stood up and said to the tofu shop proprietress, "Sorry, sister-in-law, it seems that this place is not suitable for me."

"Don't go! Girl." The lady boss of the tofu shop was anxious.She pulled the butcher shop proprietress and said, "Aunt Yang, you can give me a real price! Your shop is so old, small and dilapidated, how can it be worth 100 taels? It stands to reason that 50 taels would be good."

The butcher shop proprietress glared at the tofu shop proprietress, and said fiercely with her old face full of flesh: "My mother said that it is worth it. I am not in a hurry to sell it, so I have the final say on how much it will cost."

"You! You are..." The proprietress of the tofu shop cried anxiously.She wiped her tears and said: "My husband has an accident, and I need money urgently. You can do me a favor and don't embarrass me. Aunt Yang, have you forgotten? Three years ago, you were seriously ill, and it was my husband who helped you find a doctor." , it was also my family who borrowed ten taels of silver to treat you. Have you forgotten all this?"

The old lady of the butcher shop froze slightly.She frowned, and said impatiently: "Okay! Let me tell you the real price. 60 taels. If it's less than 60 taels, I won't sell it."

Meng Yuxuan looked at the butcher's wife with anger in her eyes.The proprietress of the tofu shop is right, it is not bad if her shop sells 50 taels.But she actually bid 60 taels.This is clearly taking advantage of the fire.Looking at her expression just now, I thought she was a shrew with a conscience.Now it seems that she is still overestimated.

"This..." The proprietress of the tofu shop looked at Meng Yuxuan and said pleadingly, "Girl, how much are you willing to give?"

"How much does your store sell?" Meng Yuxuan sighed helplessly. "I see that your shop is bigger than hers, and it is neatly kept, and it is newer than hers."

"80 taels! Is it okay?" the tofu shop proprietress said hastily.

The butcher's wife thought proudly in her heart: What a stupid bitch.Her shop is as big as two of mine, and it only sells for 80 taels.

Meng Yuxuan has already seen the entire tofu shop.There is pavement in front and housing in the back.Not only that, but their yard is quite big.If you buy the tofu shop and the butcher shop and renovate them, they will definitely become the signatures of the East Street.If it wasn't for the lack of too much money in hand, I really wanted to buy all the shops next door.

"That's fine! Her 60 taels, yours 80 taels, I bought them together." The butcher shop is only worth forty taels, but the tofu shop is worth 100 taels.In fact, she didn't suffer a loss by buying these two shops at the same time.The real loser is the lady boss of the tofu shop. "Leave the things you used to make tofu too! Is there a problem with this?"

"No problem. I'm taking my husband to Licheng, and I can't take those things with me." The tofu shop proprietress said quickly, "Thank you, miss. Thank you so much."

"What's wrong with your husband? Seeing that you are anxious to sell the shop, and you don't hesitate to lose money." Meng Yuxuan asked casually.

"He is seriously ill. I heard that there is a genius doctor in Licheng, so I want to take him to try his luck." The tofu shop proprietress said sadly: "Girl, let's go to the yamen to write the documents now! As long as we rewrite the documents and the deed, From now on, these two shops will be yours."

"That's right. Give me my money first. I'll move back to the countryside tomorrow." The butcher's wife smiled flatteringly.

"Let's go to the yamen to write the paperwork together, and I'll give it to you in front of the officials." Meng Yuxuan said impatiently.

"It's really stingy." The butcher's wife snorted coldly.

An hour later, several people came out from the yamen.At this time, they have transferred their ownership, and the butcher shop and tofu shop are both owned by Meng Yuxuan.And Meng Yuxuan also spent more than 100 taels of silver.

Meng Yuxuan threw the two lists into the space.Now she has to start thinking about how to use these two shops.The house is so old that it needs to be refurbished inside and out.According to her thinking, I'm afraid there is no 100 taels that can't finish this matter.In addition to recruiting people, buying new furniture, and hiring a carriage to move, all of them need money.

"Thank you, girl. I will take my husband to Licheng tomorrow. From now on, the shop will be yours." The proprietress of the tofu shop said gratefully, "My name is Lin Cai."

"Sister-in-law Lin." Meng Yuxuan nodded and said, "My name is Meng Yuxuan. There is one thing I've always wanted to say, in fact, I'm already married, not a girl."

"Ah? You... really don't see it. You are so young and so beautiful." Lin Cai said in surprise.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the two were chatting happily, the butcher shop proprietress put her aside, her face became gloomy.She raised her head and strode away.

Seeing the woman walking away, Meng Yuxuan took out 20 taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Cai.

Lin Cai quickly waved her hands and asked in confusion, "Girl, no, what is Madam doing?"

"Sister-in-law keep it! Your shop is worth the price." Meng Yuxuan said. "Your husband still needs money for his illness. Twenty taels may not seem like much, but it is enough for you to hire a car to go to Licheng. If you don't think the money is too little, then accept it!"

"My sister's kindness, my sister-in-law really doesn't know what to say. My husband's condition is getting worse and worse. If I can't sell it today, I have to take him to Licheng tomorrow. It's just that I don't have any money. He will help us to heal. It’s better now, luckily I met my sister.” Lin Cai said emotionally.

"What's wrong with your husband? Seeing that you're so haggard, I'm afraid it won't take a day or two." Meng Yuxuan asked suspiciously.

"It's strange to say. It was fine half a month ago, but suddenly one day I felt uncomfortable. Then my belly got bigger and bigger, and now it looks like a pregnant woman." When mentioning her husband's condition, Lin Cai was full of sadness. .

"Such a strange condition." Meng Yuxuan was surprised. "I hope you can find that miraculous doctor. Otherwise, ordinary doctors may be powerless to deal with such a strange condition."

"Woo, sister, my sister-in-law's life is really too hard." Lin Cai said in tears.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Everything will be fine." Meng Yuxuan patted Lin Cai's shoulder.The two walked while talking, and came near the tofu shop.Suddenly, they heard arguing in front of them.
