After saying goodbye in the morning light, the old lady personally saw them off at the gate, while Shen Xing'er followed behind, arm in arm with Tian Sangui.

"Eldest sister, last night I heard Grandmother scolding them. It was right behind my yard. She made several of my cousins ​​move to the schoolhouse and even hired tutors for my older cousins!"

Tian Sangui whispered in her ear, mimicking her words: "Now you're in for a treat. You won't have to worry about them bullying you anymore!"

"Speaking of which, we still need more of the incompatible foods that my eldest sister made us eat, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fool the doctor!"

"And your older sister drew big, colorful faces on us!"

"Pfft~" The two behind them covered their mouths and chuckled.

Grandma Shen pulled Shen Li and looked behind her: "What are you two girls talking about that makes you so happy? Tell me so this old woman can have a good laugh too!"

Tian Sangui and Shen Xing'er exchanged a glance, both looking embarrassed.

Tian Sangui reacted quickly: "We were just discussing how Grandmother Shen's emerald green ginkgo leaf dress today makes you look at least ten years younger. Xing'er and I are so happy for you!"

Shen Xing'er quickly chimed in, "Oh yes, yes, Grandmother is so young, we younger generations are naturally overjoyed!"

After being praised by the two women, the old lady opened her arms and looked herself up and down.

"It's just the same as usual!"

Then, after thinking about it carefully, he realized: "The two kids have such sweet words!"

The group left the gate laughing, where Tian Er and Xiao Shunzi were already waiting by the carriage.

Shen Li glanced at him, then turned to say her final goodbye to Old Madam Shen.

Shen Xing'er also began to feel reluctant to see Tian Sangui leave, her eyes reddening again and again, this feeling was really too painful.

"Big sister, when you go back, don't forget that you have a little sister waiting for you in Fuzhou City. You must come and visit me often!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget you, little sister. I'll bring you some delicious food next time I come to visit you!"

You absolutely have to come!

As the carriage started moving, Shen Xing'er reluctantly ran forward a couple of steps to follow. Tian Sangui, fearing she might fall, repeatedly told her to go back and promised to come see her again next time.

This made Shen Xing'er stop and watch their carriage disappear into the distant crowd.

Tian Sangui sat back in the carriage and let out a relieved sigh: "Phew~"

Shen Li looked at her and smiled: "Thank you, San Gui. My grandfather had a very happy birthday banquet this time, which has relieved my regret."

"I was lucky, otherwise I would have really messed it up!"

Tian Sangui was glad that she had guessed the old man's taste correctly, otherwise she would have made a big joke of herself.

"I told you you could do it, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

Shen Li felt that bringing Tian Sangui along this time was the right choice, and she sincerely believed that Tian Sangui could help her.

As she had predicted, things turned out just as she had expected.

"Thank you for your trust, Sister Li. Are you staying at the inn in the county town again tonight?"

"Yes, it's the same place. We'll arrive this afternoon. Take a good rest, and I'll take you home myself tomorrow."

That's great! This afternoon, Tian Sangui can finally take care of what's on his mind.

After returning home, I discussed with my family how to do some simple renovations to the restaurant, clean it up, prepare the menu, and choose an auspicious day to open for business.

On the swaying carriage, the two sisters fell into a deep sleep without realizing it, until Xiao Shunzi stopped the carriage and called them two or three times before they responded.

Xiao Shunzi helped his master Shen Li, while Tian Er carried Tian Sangui out of the car.

Upon seeing that it was the same generous customer from last time, the waiter immediately led him back the way he came, opened the original three rooms, and welcomed the customer in.

"There's a lot of stuff on the carriage, go help my servant carry some things up!"

Then Shen Li fed another golden bean to the little boy's hands. His eyes reflected the image of the golden bean, and he smiled broadly.

"Of course, of course, I'll go right away!"

The waiter eagerly went down to help.

The roads in the prefecture and county were flat official roads, and the carriages ran smoothly, so the journey was relatively fast. We arrived at the inn at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Tian Er, Xiao Shunzi, and the shop assistant each carried one load of the gifts from Old Madam Shen into Xiao Shunzi's room.

Shen Li arranged for the waiter to serve several good dishes as their lunch.

Afterwards, Tian Sangui said he was going to the restaurant to pay the balance. After being surprised, Shen Li wanted to go with him, and Tian Er naturally had no reason not to go.

Xiao Shunzi was worried about his master, so he went along as well.

Fortunately, the journey wasn't too far, so we all strolled over together.

Upon arriving at the door, we found it tightly shut.

Tian Sangui told Tian Er to knock on the door.

"Tie it up!"

There was no response, presumably because his knocking wasn't loud. He then gathered his strength and pounded loudly on the tightly closed wooden door.

"Knock knock knock!"

The wooden door was visible; the planks were seen moving back and forth in the grooves on the top, and the knocking sound attracted the neighbors to come out and watch.

Even the waiter at the restaurant across the street went out to take a look.

"Third Sister, did this guy pack up and leave?"

Tian Sangui's heart skipped a beat. He lifted his skirt and went up the stairs, kicking the wooden door hard twice.

Just when they thought the fat man had broken his promise, there was a sound coming from inside the wooden door.

Then a door was opened, and a fat face looked at Tian Sangui.

"Oh dear, who was knocking at the door? It's Miss Tian! It's not time yet, why are you here?"

The moment the fat man saw Tian Sangui, he couldn't hide his delight. He was already certain that Tian Sangui had come to pay the bill.

"What, you're not happy that I came early?"

"Oh, oh, oh, how could I dare? I'm so happy! Please come inside!"

The fat man opened the door wide and humbly welcomed Tian Sangui and his companions into the house.

"Bring me your contract, let us check it over first, and we'll make the payment directly once there are no problems."

Tian Sangui readily agreed, and the fat man nodded and bowed, then jogged to the backyard.

Shen Li carefully looked around the building. The wood in the corner of the roof was already rotting, and it would need to be extensively renovated after she took over.

"Sister Li, how's the location here?"

Tian Sangui pounced on the square table, asking Shen Li, who was looking around, a question.

"The location is excellent, but the building is too dilapidated, so you'll probably have to put in a lot of effort!"

"I've thought about it. I'll do a simple renovation first, and then renovate the backyard guest rooms properly once I've made some money, so that guests like Sister Li can stay there in the future."

"Great! From now on, I'll only book in your inn!"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, the fat man brought the contract from the backyard and spread it out on the square table. Several people gathered around, helping Tian Sangui carefully look for anything amiss.

"Hmm, the two contracts are exactly the same. Then we'll go with the one above. I'll pay you six hundred taels!"

As he spoke, he took the money pouch from his waist and placed it on the table.

The fat man hurriedly grabbed it, poured the silver into his palm, and his eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the real silver.

I'll go get you the land deed and house deed, you guys wait here!

After saying that, he ran to the backyard again.

Just then, a camera peeked through the doorway and eavesdropped on their conversation.

With his naturally smiling eyes, Tian Sangui recognized him at a glance; he was the waiter from the restaurant across the street.

"What are you doing here?" Tian Sangui said, walking towards him.

The waiter was so frightened that he quickly distanced himself from her, and Tian Er also came out, his eyes fixed on the furtive waiter.

"Tch, who did I take for a guy? Turns out you're just that country bumpkin I ate with the other day. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't make pointless sacrifices!"

"My boss can drive him away, and he can certainly make you lose so much money you won't know where you're going!"

Unable to stop, Tian Er immediately picked up a stone and threw it at the waiter.

Seeing that he had angered them, the waiter covered his head and ran into his own restaurant to hide.

The restaurant has just changed hands and it's already attracting jealousy?
