Chapter 131 Why is the shop closed?
"Try this fish soup I made. It's delicious. The fish Mumu raises are so fresh."
They ate especially well during the New Year holidays, with a table full of fish, meat and other dishes every day.
It was already late when Sumu arrived at the shop. Most of the shops on the street were open, and there were already many people outside the shops.
"Shopkeeper Su, we thought you wouldn't be open today." The diners joked.
"There are so many people waiting, we have to open the door for you."
As soon as the door opened, many diners began to pour in to buy things.
Some families were planning to ask their servants to come over and check if the shops had any new products and whether they had the vegetables that were given as New Year gifts.
"Shopkeeper Su, this is what happened. Our master asked me to ask when the vegetables for the New Year gift will be available?"
Su Mu raised his eyebrows. Oh? Someone came to inquire so soon?
“It may take some time before new products are available.”
"Is that so? Then I will give it to my master."
The servant thought that the master would definitely be anxious and angry again in the next few days.
As expected, I heard that it would take some time before the new products were available. The old man was very anxious. He had only eaten a few of the cherry tomatoes in the gift box, and he didn't know if he could last until the new products were available.
Su Mu's attention has always been on the shop diagonally opposite. That shop usually has good business, and today it is welcoming the God of Wealth, so why is it closed?
"Brother, do you know why that shop is closed?" Su Mu pointed with his finger.
Su Yuanshan also frowned and thought, "I heard from the clerk that the shop seems to be for sale?"
"Why? Hasn't his business always been good?"
Also, because there are many people in the Su family shop during this period, these people will inevitably go to nearby shops to buy some things.
"The location of his shop is also very good, it's right on the main street."
"I'm not quite sure what's going on." Su Yuanshan was also puzzled as to why such a good shop was about to close without any warning.
"Brother, can I go and ask him if he can sell it to me?"
Su Mu was tempted. It was such a good location. Although it was a little sudden, it was completely possible for her to buy a shop in advance.
"My younger sister wants to buy another shop?" Su Yuanshan was thinking about the profit of the shop. It would not be a problem for his younger sister to buy a few more shops.
"That shop should be very popular."
"Then let's go ask now?" Such a good location will definitely be sold out, and there will definitely be a lot of people asking about it. If we don't hurry up, it will be snatched away by others.
The two of them went straight to the shop and knocked on the door. "Is the shopkeeper here?"
"Here, coming." A somewhat muffled voice came from inside.
"Creaky~" The door panel made an old sound.
"Oh, it's you two. Come in and sit down." The shopkeeper led the two into the shop, which was in a mess.
"Excuse me, I need to clean up some things, so it's a bit messy."
The shopkeeper brought a pot of tea and said, "Have some tea."
Su Mu didn't beat around the bush. "Boss, I heard that you want to sell this shop?"
"Yes." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.
"Why would you want to sell such a nice shop?"
"Alas, every family has its own problems." The shopkeeper looked sad.
Thinking of his younger brother, he sighed, "My younger brother got addicted to those things and lost a lot of money. I can only sell this shop to get some money to fill the hole."
"This, my condolences."
"Shopkeeper Su, what do you think we should do?" The shopkeeper seemed to finally be unable to control his emotions and burst into tears when he thought of this.
"What do your family members say?"
"My parents didn't know what to do, so they had to patch up his hole. Time and again, those people wanted to chop off one of my brother's fingers. My parents didn't want him to be disabled, so they had to sell the shop."
"What about you guys in the future?"
"I still have a few acres of good farmland at home, and I can be self-sufficient by farming when I go back home."
"If it were you, Manager Su, what would you do?" The manager cried with tears and snot.
"What should we do?" Su Mu sneered, "Just chop it off. Losing a finger won't do any harm."
And those people didn't really chop them off, they were just trying to scare them. Every time they said they would chop them off, it meant they didn't chop them off.
"Huh? This?"
"Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, and mercy cannot save a self-aware person. To put it more tactfully, respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others."
It’s not the first or the second, but not the third. If you still don’t listen after so many times of admonition, then just respect and bless.
The man seemed to be thinking about something, "I know it's time for him to suffer a little. It's not a good idea for my parents to always be so reluctant to let him suffer."
It seemed like he had made up his mind that it was time for him to suffer a little. If he continued like this, his parents and the entire family would continue to be dragged down.
"I understand."
"Are you still going to sell your shop?" Su Mu asked tentatively.
"Sell!"
"How much silver are you going to sell it for?"
"To be honest, someone offered me 860 taels the day before yesterday. I'm still thinking about it. It's because of your shop that I can sell it at such a high price."
"Shopkeeper Su wants to sell it for 800 taels! There are three rooms in the backyard."
"Good! The shopkeeper is very generous."
"It's all thanks to you." The shopkeeper seemed to have let go of something important.
Su Mu looked at the shop and thought that 800 taels was actually a reasonable price. The shop front was already very large, and it was only a few steps away from the main street.
"Shopkeeper Su, let me show you around." The shopkeeper led the two to the backyard. "This is a very large room, used as a warehouse. Over here are two small rooms."
Walking into the small room, "I will live here half of the time, and the small room over there is where I put some sundries."
Su Mu was quite satisfied. The main shop and warehouse were very large, which was perfectly fine.
"When will Shopkeeper Su plan to buy it? I'll keep it for you."
"Do you think today is a good day?" Su Mu didn't want to drag it out, so he took the house deed directly, in case someone else bought it if he waited too long.
The man was stunned for a moment.
"Is it inconvenient?" Su Mu said.
"No, it's very convenient." He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Su would be so decisive and he could just pay for it today.
"Then shall we go to the government office to sign the contract?"
"walk."
Su Yuanshan saw the two of them rushing to the government office to handle the formalities.
Of course, Su Mu is not so naive that he would not believe what he said. He would let 006 scan it before making a direct decision.
After arriving at the government office, the person still working here was Lord Fang.
"Miss Su."
"Master Fang."
"I bought a shop and came here to handle it."
"I'll take you there." Lord Fang led the way.
The shopkeeper behind was very shocked. Could Shopkeeper Su even make friends with people in government offices?
The formalities were completed quickly and Sumu got her second shop.
Su Mu handed the money to the man and said, "This is a silver note of eight hundred taels. Would you like to count it?"
"That's right, thank you, Shopkeeper Su."
"I want to thank you for selling the shop to me."
