A modern woman transmigrates to an alternate ancient world and decisively cuts ties with her despicable relatives.
She leads her family into business and works hard to achieve prosperity.
..."Hey, what kind of business is this?"
"Fine, I'm leaving! I'll never come back here again!"
After saying that, the man grabbed his friend's sleeve and dragged him away, his face flushed.
The shop owner felt a surge of anger as he watched them leave in a hurry.
With his mouth agape and hands on his hips, he glared angrily at the remaining diners in the hall.
"Get out! Get out! All of you, get out!"
"I'm not doing business here anymore. I'm never opening this place again. Don't come back, get out of here!"
He had a short temper and yelled and cursed as he chased guests away from the hall.
Tian Laosi and Zhang Shi exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
How can you just close a perfectly good business like this? Even if you're not going to close, you should at least wait until all the customers leave, or close at night and not reopen the next day.
Why does this person act in such an extreme way?
"Dad, let's go eat across the street!"
Zhang suggested that Tian Laosi take the children and set off immediately.
Tian Sangui walked at the back, intending to take over.
This restaurant, in terms of both location and space, suited her perfectly.
This restaurant was equivalent to a hotel in her time, where you could eat and stay.
It's located near the main street, with a constant flow of people. And look at the restaurants across the street; none of them are as big as this one, but they are good at running their businesses, so customers naturally keep coming in.
This fat, big-eared guy has no interest in running a business anyway, so it's better to rent it to him. He won't have to worry about it every month and will still get paid. Isn't that better than him being penniless right now?
Thinking of this, I said, "Father, Mother, you and my brothers go to the other side first. I... I'll come back after asking around!"
The daughter touched her parents and saw that Tian Sangui's eyes were darting around, so she knew that she was looking for other plans.
"Then let your older brother go with you, otherwise Mother won't feel at ease!"
After looking inside, Tian Laosi felt that Zhang's arrangement made sense.
“The people inside have bad tempers, but with your older brother by your side, he can protect you.”
"good!"
Tian Da stood behind Tian Sangui with a serious and responsible expression.
Zhang and Tian Lao Si took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to the restaurant across the street.
Tian Sangui turned around and instructed Tian Da: "Brother, you will act according to my hand gestures. Before I give the gestures, just stand behind me."
"Okay!"
The two returned to the hall, but finding no one there, they lifted the curtain and went directly to the backyard.
The huge courtyard is surrounded by a square two-story building, with the space of three rooms occupying the middle of the first floor to form a main room.
The fat man with big ears was fast asleep in the rocking chair right by the door!
Tian Sangui walked straight in.
"Hello!"
"Ouch!" The man was so startled by Tian Sangui's shout that he almost rolled to the ground. Fortunately, his hands reacted quickly and he managed to brace himself and stabilize his bulky body.
He looked up and saw a girl at the doorway; his temper flared up instantly.
"You brat, you dare scare me? You're asking for it!"
As he spoke, he was about to come up and swing his hand at her head.
Standing by the wall at the door, Tian Da sensed something was wrong with his tone and immediately stepped out, appearing behind Tian Sangui with his arms crossed.
The man assumed that Tian Sangui was alone and was unaware that a tall young man was hiding behind him. He sized up the young man, whose strength was no less than his own. He thought that if they really fought, the man might not be able to defeat the strong and upright young man.
The raised hand deviated halfway and slammed into Tian Sangui's head near the door.
"Go away, go away! This is not a place for you to play. Get out of here!"
Tian Sangui raised an eyebrow: "We're here to discuss a business deal, not to play around!"
"Business? Ha, no interest. Get out of here!"
The man was clearly suppressing his rage under Tian Dawei's power.
Tian Sangui knew that it wouldn't be easy to sway him with just a few words, so he went on to bring up the advantages that interested him.
"Like lying in a chair counting money?"
"What does that mean?"
Tian Sangui thought there was hope.
"It's a shame to leave such a good restaurant unopened. Why not rent it to me? You won't have to worry about it every month, you can just collect the rent and sit back and count your money."
"Since you're idle anyway, why not rent it to me? You'll get some extra money every month. Would you consider it?"
The man was agitated and disturbed by Tian Sangui's words.
After pondering for a while, he forced his eyes open a little, but they couldn't hold up the fat around his eye sockets and returned to normal.
However, his mind started to wander.
“This place is one of the family businesses left to me by my ancestors. I’m not one to take things slow and steady. If you really like this place, then take the money and buy it to make a deal.”
"If you only want to rent, then forget it!"
This guy has a big heart, looking up at the sky and not even caring about the rent. He's really giving us face.
Tian Sangui curled his lip and took a deep breath: "What's the price?"
Tian Da opened his mouth wide, thinking that his sister would have an angry argument with this fat man, but unexpectedly Tian Sangui compromised and asked for the price.
This isn't like her usual style.
The man had no idea about Tian Sangui's bad temper. He only heard her ask a question, and it seemed that this girl really had her eye on his land.
The man sat up straight and carefully examined Tian Sangui with his eyes. He was capable and had a heroic air about him.
His words exuded an air of authority and control; for such a young child to possess such composure, he must have quite a bit of money.
The man smiled, rubbing his hands together, his eyes filled with greed, though it was hidden by the flesh of his face, so Tian Sangui couldn't discern his true intentions.
"As you can see, it's a courtyard with three sections in total, hence the price!"
The man stroked his chin with his fingers, looking Tian Sangui up and down, and paused for a moment before speaking.
"Eight hundred taels of silver!"
The gesture of "eight hundred" was made in front of Tian Sangui's eyes.
The next second, Tian Sangui's smile vanished, and he pulled Tian Da away.
What kind of nonsense is this? Asking for 800 yuan right off the bat, as if this piece of land is a treasure?
It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision because he seemed uninterested in running the business and the location was good.
They really think they're something special, like a cabbage! Pshaw!
The man was still daydreaming when, before he could even make a move, the girl ran away.
They left so decisively and cleanly.
The man's heart was instantly extinguished by cold water. He had finally met someone he was interested in; he didn't want her to leave like this.
Panicked, the man immediately chased after them, grabbing Tian Da's hand and forcing Tian Sangui to stop.
"Don't go! There's still room for negotiation on the price!"
He really didn't want to stay in this wretched place for another second. He just wanted to get things done quickly and go to his uncle's house in the capital. He had heard that his aunt had arranged a marriage for him with a young lady, and he was quite interested in that.
With the restaurant across the street stealing his business, he immediately gave up the idea of opening his own business.
He was at a loss for what to do. Since he had met someone who truly wanted him, he wasn't about to give up easily.
Once a breach is made, it is very difficult to close it back up.
That's how men are.
Hearing his urgency, Tian Sangui reluctantly stopped and looked at his face.
"Give me a straight answer, I don't like dragging things out."
"Well... seven hundred... Hey, don't go! My house, its location, and the land area must be worth something!"
The man's face fell; his previous self-righteousness and arrogance were gone, replaced by a look of melancholy as he helplessly squatted down.
Tian Sangui pondered for a moment after hearing his words.
The place is big, but the house price in the town is only 200 on the main street. Manager Li said in the restaurant that it would not exceed 400. In a place like this in the county, even if it is not on the main street, it would cost 700.
Tian Sangui looked around the shop, his eyes finally settling on the man squatting on the ground.
"Six hundred taels. You either agree or you don't, we won't bother you anymore!"
