Having successfully made the child's eyes turn into rabbit eyes, Gu An'an threw the fallen tooth onto the roof.

She remembered that her family used to say this when she was a child: if an upper tooth falls out, bury it in the ground; if a lower tooth falls out, throw it up high.

Gu An'an didn't know the exact reason either.

Inside the house, Jiang Mingyi comforted his injured brother.

Children who are teething again cannot eat sweets, so they can't even drink this millet and red date porridge.

Jiang Mingxu felt increasingly wronged as he could only watch his family eat.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Jiang Mingyi was annoyed by his lack of ambition and ignored the younger brother. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Gu An'an, "Does that shop need to be renovated?"

"It needs some more tidying up. I'm thinking of going back to the carpenter and having him make a special shelf for storing things. Also, I need to order a few more tables, and buy new bowls and chopsticks."

There are many places to spend money, but these won't cost much.

Gu An'an has a little idea, and doing these things is a bit troublesome, so it will probably take a few days.

As for the stove and such, there's no need to worry too much. The shop originally had a small backyard, about ten square meters in size, which was perfect for a kitchen.

The weaving process for the stove and pot wouldn't take long; a skilled craftsman could probably finish it in a short time.

"We'll find a suitable courtyard later, and you siblings will need to put your heads together to decorate our new home."

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Then shall we move to the county town to live?"

"Either is fine. If you like living here, that's also possible."

Do you live here?

In fact, for the past three years, Jiang Mingzhu has disliked this place very much. It's not a home, it's not even as good as a pigsty.

But the past few months have changed her mind, and she hesitated after hearing this.

“These are all our homes, you can stay wherever you want.” Seeing Jiang Mingzhu’s hesitation, Gu An’an said with a smile, “A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Our lives will get better and better in the future. We’ll even go to Anzhou Prefecture and then to the capital. You can stay wherever you want then.”

Compared to the last sentence, Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingzhu, the siblings, clearly cared more about the middle sentence—

Anzhou Prefecture, the capital city.

However, neither of them said anything, and they continued eating with their heads down, a smile on their faces, clearly indicating that the promise made them both very happy.

Who wouldn't want to see the bustling and prosperous capital city?

Gu An'an also thought that although contentment is happiness, living in a small mountain village is not bad.

But you should always go and join in the fun if you have the chance.

However, when they went to the capital again, these children were not the main villains, but rather the catalysts for the development of the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

To live a respectable life in the capital was what Gu An'an longed for.

Early the next morning, Gu An'an took Jiang Mingzhu to the county town. Their main task for the day was to go to the yamen with the landlord to complete the handover and get the shop.

As for doing business, there's no rush. Anyway, she only sets up her stall once every other day.

Twenty coins a bowl, it's not realistic to eat that every day.

However, when they arrived at the pharmacy, Manager Qiu was not there.

The shop assistant noticed that Gu An'an's eyes were darting away, which made Gu An'an realize something.

"Is Manager Qiu busy today?"

The waiter couldn't avoid it, so he pointed to the backyard and said, "Manager Bai from Taibai Restaurant is here to see him."

Bai Qiaoyin.

Gu An'an immediately understood what was going on.

"Please have your manager come out; I'll pay a higher price."

What good could Bai Qiaoyin possibly do by showing up? She's just here to cause trouble.

As soon as Gu An'an finished speaking, the beautiful woman emerged from behind the curtain. "It seems I acted without thinking and angered Madam Gu."

Shopkeeper Qiu looked sullen. He hadn't expected Bai Qiaoyin to suddenly appear out of nowhere. She had offered two hundred taels for a shop that was only priced at eighty taels.

Manager Qiu was truly dumbfounded by the price.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret. If Bai Qiaoyin knows this news, she will definitely be able to find the homeowner; it's just a matter of time.

This means that if you don't offend Madam Gu, you'll offend Manager Bai.

If he had a choice, Manager Qiu wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Before he could even speak, the two of them bumped into each other.

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Gu An'an for help, "I handled this poorly. How about I find another shop for Madam Gu?"

Gu An'an chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I'm just afraid Manager Bai will decide to snatch it away again on a whim."

Bai Qiaoyin smiled gently.

Everything is self-evident.

This almost made Manager Qiu cry; why were these two old ladies fighting?

Throwing money at him like that would kill him!

"Whatever price Manager Bai offers, I'll add more silver."

Shopkeeper Qiu remained silent for a moment.

Bai Qiaoyin laughed, "Not much, just two hundred taels. I wonder how much Madam Gu plans to contribute."

"Two hundred taels is not much, I'll offer three hundred taels. Young Master Lin was very generous before, and I still have a lot of money left over. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."

As if afraid that Bai Qiaoyin wouldn't understand, Gu An'an specially explained, "Young Master Lin Zixing, this is Manager Bai's boss, right?"

Gu An'an!

Bai Qiaoyin gritted her teeth, "Five hundred taels!"

Her generous offer almost made Manager Qiu lose his footing.

Five hundred taels of silver could buy a small house in the capital.

It's not worth it, it's not worth it at all.

However, Gu An'an went even further, shouting, "Seven hundred taels!"

Shopkeeper Qiu felt like he was gasping for breath. He wanted to calm the two women down, but he couldn't calm himself down.
