Ge Liang had been waiting for Mu Xiu to ask that question, and he cried even harder, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

“We have nowhere to live. You know that. My monthly salary is only so much. I also have to pay off my credit card and other debts. I simply don’t have the ability to support a family. The rent here is so expensive. Even a regular two-bedroom apartment is ridiculously expensive. I really don’t have the means.”

After saying that, Ge Liang started hitting himself, slapping himself repeatedly, once on the right and once on the left, though he didn't use much force.

Mu Xiu was even more confused. "I know how. Didn't I tell you to stay in that house in our town? It's a two-story building, you can definitely fit in there. There are shops in the back, you can do a small business or something."

Hearing this, Ge Liang felt even more upset. "I was going to stay there, but before I even got into the house, my aunt came over and said we couldn't stay there, and that it was her house."

"That's normal. I understand that my aunt is blaming me. Brother, I'll head back now; I'm really not in a good mood today."

Mu Xiu was furious when he heard this and said directly, "Don't worry, you should go and stay there. You can call my mom and I'll talk to her."

Ge Liang immediately sought help from the police, informing them that he could not make phone calls and could not record videos.

"What do you think this place is? You're being asked to make phone calls and record videos. It's time for your visit."

Mu Xiu: "..."

Ge Liang: "..."

With no other option, Ge Liang could only find a place to stay first.

As evening fell, more and more people arrived, and Mo Yan and Mu Jiarui prepared to start their business.

Mu Jiarui stood outside and started shouting, "Everyone come and see! Come and see the delicious fruit rainbow shaved ice! Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

The little guy's voice was so cute and soft that everyone came over to take a look.

Looking at those pot-boiled chickens, they all wanted to try them. They weren't expensive, and the ice jelly looked colorful.

The shop was soon filled with customers, and Mu Jiarui quickly ran over to help move stools.

Seeing how sensible the little guy is, everyone thinks he's so cute.

Bo Bo Chicken is simply a dish where you pick out your favorite ingredients from a plate.

The price is calculated per skewer. There are more skewers for meat dishes, so you can just pay by the skewers at the end. Each skewer costs one yuan.

A person can get full after eating about ten yuan's worth of food, plus a bowl of icy cold ice jelly.

Mo Yan will start doing other things next, such as opening a night market snack shop.

The little guy helped serve the ice jelly and get tissues; it was sold out by 10 p.m.

Mo Yan took some time to make him a bowl of cold noodles. Seeing how much he enjoyed it, the others wanted some too.

There wasn't much jelly, only about four or five servings, but Mo Yan sold them all.

After packing up, Mo Yan and Mu Jiarui gathered their belongings and started counting their money.

A gross profit of 800 seems like a lot, but there are raw materials and other items like bamboo skewers. After deducting all that, the profit is only 100 or 200, which is already quite good.

"Grandma, there's so much money!"

"Grandma will teach you how to do the accounts. Look, this is the gross profit. Here's the cost of our raw materials, 300 yuan, water and electricity, and 50 yuan for bamboo skewers. Do you think we're still making a profit?"

Mu Jiarui was stunned; he hadn't expected any of this.

They've been busy since very early on, and he's still busy now; he's extremely tired.

Grandma works so hard.

"It's okay, you'll be able to manage it in the future. Let's go back and rest. I'll put some ointment on you, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

After doing so much all of a sudden, including practicing martial arts, I need to relax my muscles so I won't be able to get up tomorrow.

Mo Yan took out the ointment and gently massaged it into his skin. Each massage was painful, but Mu Jiarui gritted his teeth and endured it. He could smell a faint, sweet fragrance in his nose.

He fell asleep while smelling it.

Mo Yan went out to continue tidying up, mopping the floor and throwing away the trash before preparing to close the door.

Ge Liang also rushed over, but was kicked away by Mo Yan. He took out his phone and said, "Hello, someone is rushing over to rob us!"

Before Ge Liang could even pick it up, the police arrived. The local police station was just across the street, so it was very convenient for them to come over.

Mo Yan pointed to Ge Liang, who was curled up on the ground, and then led them to see the surveillance footage.

This is a street, and even if the shops aren't rented out, they're still monitored by surveillance cameras.

The surveillance footage shows Ge Liang suddenly rushing over like a madman, startling Mo Yan, who then kicked him.

"Officer, this was just an instinctive reaction. Doesn't that count as self-defense?"

Yes, that counts, but the power of that kick was a bit frightening to them.

They pulled Ge Liang up, saying, "Tell me, what's wrong with you this time? Do you have to bully this old man?"

Ge Liang: "..."

"No, no, we came here to tell Auntie that my brother said he was willing to give us the house, and we asked Auntie to let us move in."

Mo Yan laughed upon hearing this, "What kind of older brother are you? Didn't I already tell you? I'm the owner of this house. I don't even want that son anymore. What use are his words?"

Is he naively thinking that he can move in just by finding Mu Xiu?

“But he’s your son.” Ge Liang couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t even listen to Mu Xiu.

"He's my son, so what? What's it to you? Get out of here, or I'll sue you for harassing our family! You're always trying to occupy our house! Officer, will you still be able to hit me next time you see someone like this?"

Upon hearing this, Ge Liang trembled with fear; he was terrified of being beaten.
