Chapter 122

Han Ting doesn't want to bother with these things at all now.

If he had known that Wang Cuiying was looking for a matchmaker to find a partner for him, he would have stopped it long ago.

If we had stopped it earlier, we wouldn't have made such a joke today and lost face again.

At this point, Han Ting has lost all his dignity and face!

He became the biggest joke in their alley!

He is too embarrassed to see anyone!

He endured for a while and then said, "You have never wanted me to have an easy life since the day we got married. My marriage is a joke, my life is a joke, and my divorce is an even bigger joke! Now you want to torment me, how much more do you want others to see me as a joke? If you continue to torment me, I will never come back again, and I really can't stay in this family anymore!"

Who is she doing all this for?

Is she willing to go through this trouble?

If he had listened to her at the beginning, would he have had to make such a fool of himself?

Wang Cuiying wiped away two more tears.

Disappointed and angry, he said, "Okay, from now on, San'er, I will no longer care about your affairs!"

***

There was no movement in the east room, and the people who were leaning against the second door to watch the fun returned to the restaurant.

Wu Xuemei didn't go inside to look this time. Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan also sat there without moving. The couple from Courtyard No. 1 came back after looking and sat down, saying, "Wang Cuiying is really restless."

Wu Xuemei doesn't want to waste her time on the Han family's affairs.

Wang Cuiying has been arguing about Han Ting's marriage for more than a day or two. She knows every time Yang the matchmaker comes.

There are still empty seats in the restaurant now, so she and the people from Courtyard No. 1 can sit down and chat. But when more people come to eat later, there will be no place to sit and talk.

So she brought the topic back to the topic and said, "Why don't we talk about our business?"

The couple in No. 1 Yard came back to their senses after hearing what Wu Xuemei said.

The two of them said "oh" one after another, and then the old man suddenly seemed to be very impatient and said, "My head will hurt if we continue talking, and we are too lazy to waste any more energy. So let's do this. The whole yard is 10,000 yuan, and all the expenses incurred during the formalities will be paid by your family. If it's okay, it's okay. If not, we won't sell it."

After talking for such a long time, both parties have almost figured out each other's bottom line.

The Tang family also knew that this was about all they could talk about, so Wu Xuemei was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, ten thousand yuan, and we'll pay for all the handling fees."

So this means the deal has been reached.

Neither side looked particularly happy, but in fact they were generally satisfied.

The Tang family paid back two thousand yuan, and No. 1 Courtyard earned a full ten thousand yuan by using a small restaurant.

After saying this, the couple in Yard No. 1 went back home.

When he returned to his family's restaurant and looked at the deserted tables and chairs in the room, he finally didn't feel upset anymore - his investment in the restaurant was not in vain, and he easily made ten thousand yuan.

The money you make from this is much better than earning one dish at a time.

When the son and daughter-in-law came over in the evening, the old couple told them what they had agreed upon.

It was originally a family discussion. The son and daughter-in-law had no objection and both felt that they had made a lot of money.

From then on, his family became a millionaire.

Living in an apartment outside and with so much savings at home, his family is completely different from other families in the alley.

***

The deal has been negotiated, and the next step is to collect the money, give the keys and go through the paperwork.

Neither family wanted to waste any more time, so they signed a house purchase and sale agreement the next day, gathered all the documents, and found time to go to the Housing Authority to complete the transfer procedures.

The formalities are completed and the transaction is complete.

The Tang family obtained the property rights of Courtyard No. 1 and the key to the restaurant, and the couple in Courtyard No. 1 received 10,000 yuan.

The old couple originally lived in the front yard, but after the deal was done they packed up and moved out.

Before leaving, they also made things clear to the three tenants.

From now on, this yard has nothing to do with their family, and the three families no longer have to pay rent to them. They can just pay it directly to the Tang family.

The three tenants don't matter.

Anyway, no matter who owns the property, they will still do what they are supposed to do.

It makes no difference to them whether the rent is paid to one or the other.

After Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei got the keys to the restaurant, they began to prepare for the opening.

Because it was a renovated existing restaurant, a lot of preparatory work was saved. All we had to do was change the menu on the wall and the sign outside the restaurant.

In addition to these, of course we need to hire more people, otherwise the two stores will not be able to handle the work.

Because I have experience in these matters.

However, within half a month, the branch of Zhengyang Hotel was officially opened.

The opening time was still chosen on Sunday when everyone is free.

This time when the branch opened, in addition to new and old customers, many relatives and friends also came to congratulate.

The restaurant also held some opening activities. No matter whether it is the old store or the new store, as long as you come to the restaurant to eat today, you will get a discount and a free side dish.

On the opening day, the alley was crowded with people again, and both stores were busy.

Because there were so many customers, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan naturally helped out in the restaurant.

It is easier to greet unfamiliar guests.

When you meet a familiar customer, you should say a few more words, and when you meet relatives and friends, you should exchange more pleasantries.

Of course, there is no time for serious reminiscing. The main purpose of today's occasion is to arrange a meal.

Chuxia had just finished greeting the colleagues from the unit who came over spontaneously. She turned around with a smile and suddenly saw Tong Rui's friend Li Li, who also brought several friends over.

During the years in college, Chu Xia and Tong Rui have always maintained a friendship.

Whenever they made time to go out and play together, Lin Xiaohan and Li Li were usually there, so they were all considered friends.

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan greeted Li Li together, and then Chuxia looked back.

Li Li knew Chu Xia was looking for Tong Rui, so she pulled her aside and said, "Don't look for her. We were supposed to come together, but she sprained her ankle and is recovering at home."

Hearing Li Li say this, Chu Xia retracted her gaze and asked, "When did it happen? Is it serious?"

Li Li said, "It was just a few days ago. There was no fracture, but I had a cast on. I need to rest well."

I'm very busy right now and don't have time to ask more questions.

Chuxia asked about the general situation and then arranged for Li Li and the others to go out for dinner.

Normally the restaurant would be busy, but not on this day.

From the official opening in the morning to closing time in the evening, there were no empty seats in the restaurant and one table was always occupied by the next.

We were so busy that we saw off the last table of guests and closed the shop. Everyone was exhausted.

Because they were so tired that their waists were sore, their feet were weak, their hands were numb, and their throats were hoarse, everyone quickly cleaned up and went home to rest.

As usual, Chuxia had to send Lin Xiaohan out of the alley and back to the unit.

But when they returned to Courtyard No. 8 and sent Lin Xiaohan out the door, Lin Xiaohan didn't let her see him out any further. He stopped and said to her, "No need to see me off. Go back and take a shower and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Chuxia was indeed very tired, so she waved to Lin Xiaohan and asked him to ride slower on the road.

Standing outside the gate and watching Lin Xiaohan leave, she went back to the yard, took a shower and went to bed.

After washing up and lying on the bed, I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep, when I suddenly remembered what Li Li had said about Tong Rui spraining her ankle when she came to the restaurant for dinner during the day.

It's all in plaster, it must be quite serious.

Chuxia thought to herself that she must find time to visit her.

I don't have time since I'm at work from Monday to Saturday, and I'm afraid of disturbing others if I go there at night, so I'll just wait until Sunday.

That’s all I thought.

Close your eyes in early summer.

He fell asleep in less than three seconds.

***

The opening ceremony of the Zhengyang Hotel branch has ended. With the reputation and stable customer base accumulated previously, and being located in the same alley, the branch's business naturally got on track.

The previously deserted Courtyard No. 1 is now bustling with visitors.

In early summer, I go to work at the company during the day and still help out in the store after get off work in the evening.

Lin Xiaohan still came over every night, stayed in the store until closing, and then rode his bike back to work.

After so many days, Wu Xuemei and Tang Haikuan had already noticed that the relationship between Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan was no longer the same as before.

So Lin Xiaohan would come here every night after get off work, and they didn't say anything.

When young people fall in love, don’t they just want to be together all the time?

And after all, isn't the purpose of dating to get married?

Now that the branch store is open, there is nothing else to worry about. So after the family of three finished their accounts tonight, Wu Xuemei smiled and asked Chu Xia, "Xia Xia, have you and Xiao Lin discussed when to get married?"
