Chapter 327 Reaching an Agreement
Old Man Chen was startled at first, then shook his head. "That Wu Shiren is no ordinary person. He has connections in the government office. Chen Feng wasn't beaten to death, so how could he possibly win the lawsuit?"
"That's right. Since they can't win the lawsuit, will the officials let them off so easily? They will definitely get a beating."
"That's right. If you can't win the lawsuit, you can't avoid getting beaten." Old Man Chen said, spitting viciously on the ground. "It would be better to beat those unfilial bastards to death. They put aside their status as relatives of the scholar and still act so arrogant and pretentious. This time they should learn a lesson and learn some wisdom."
"Yes, yes, you and I are on the same page. We should cripple their whole family!"
As he was speaking, he saw a carriage coming towards him.
The two of them suddenly became alert and stretched their necks to look.
After a while, the carriage approached, and I saw Chen Zhanshan's family of four sitting neatly in the carriage, talking and laughing.
The car was also filled with vegetables, pork, eggs, etc.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and several people got off, carrying vegetables, meat, and eggs and walking towards this side...
Suddenly, Liang Fugui's voice rang out from behind him, "Zhanshan, you're back. How's it going? Did you win the lawsuit?"
Chen Zhanshan's eyes were filled with joy. "We won the lawsuit. The culprit was sentenced to exile to the bitter cold of the far north. The accomplices were each given twenty strokes of the cane and ordered to pay five taels of silver for the herbs."
"That's great! Chen Feng's sins were not in vain."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Brother Fugui. Come visit us when you have time. We'll go back first."
The family walked towards home talking and laughing.
When Chen Qingqing passed by the old man Chen and his wife, she felt two vicious gazes.
But she didn't even raise her eyelids and just ignored him and walked forward.
Old Mrs. Chen stood there in a daze, as if she were dumbfounded.
How is this different from what she thought?
She was so heartbroken. How could the dead girl be so lucky that she could even win the lawsuit? It really made her angry.
She glanced at Old Man Chen, who was also shocked, and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Go home and die. You just spend all day out there flaunting yourself and have no idea what to do."
This damn old woman, she was clearly the one hanging out outside all day, why did she still blame him? Old man Chen twitched his lips, but did not dare to refute.
He followed behind Old Lady Chen with his hands behind his back, his head bowed and his waist bent, like a punching bag...
More than ten days passed in a flash, and Chen Feng's injuries had recovered under Chen Qingqing's treatment.
Thinking back to what I said at the county government office that day, I couldn't help but clench my fists.
Wu Shiren looked down on him, so he wanted to prove it to him.
He must succeed and marry Wu Cuihua in a grand manner.
"Little sister, you have been running to the town these days. Have you found a suitable shop?" Chen Feng asked Chen Qingqing beside him while cutting the beets in his hand.
Chen Qingqing shook her head gently. "I've been tossing around Qingshui Town these past few days, and I've spotted a few empty houses on West Street and South Street. They're quite large, more than enough space to open a restaurant, but the location isn't ideal."
"Little sister, why not just stay on West Street? It's close to the pier, has decent traffic, and most importantly, the rent is cheaper."
"Although the rent on West Street is cheap, the location is too remote. It's not ideal. As the saying goes, the right time is more important than the right place. When opening a restaurant, location is even more important."
"Yes, little sister, you are right. The most prosperous area is Qingshui Street, but the cost of renting a house there is shockingly high. It is simply not affordable for ordinary people."
"Brother, don't worry about this. I'll pay for the money. Consider it a loan from me. When you make money, you can return it to me. Or you can consider it as my investment. When you make money, you can return me half. Then you can run the business and I'll take the dividends."
Although Chen Qingqing agreed to help Chen Feng open a restaurant, she did not want to provide financial assistance to Chen Feng for nothing.
There is a saying that goes, "No one will cherish things that are easily obtained. Just the right amount of indifference can make people happy."
If you do it unconditionally, your good intentions may go to waste and you may end up with nothing.
Chen Feng smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Little sister, you are right. Family is family, money is money, and siblings should settle accounts clearly. I am already very satisfied that you can help me open a shop, so how could I be greedy!
I've thought it through. When the restaurant opens, I'll be the chef in the kitchen, and you'll be in charge of the accounts at the front desk. After deducting labor expenses, we'll split the profits equally."
Chen Qingqing originally thought that as long as she could get her principal back, she was also tempted by Chen Feng's proposal. After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and she deserves a return for her capital.
Dabao is at the sugar factory. She opened a restaurant and handed it over to her eldest brother. She just sits there counting money. It feels so good.
"Okay, that's settled then."
The two reached a preliminary agreement.
In fact, Chen Qingqing had already chosen a location for the restaurant, which was just opposite Qingfeng Restaurant.
There happened to be a large courtyard with three entrances. Facing the street was a two-story wooden building with six large rooms on the first floor.
She had planned it all out. The four largest rooms downstairs and the upstairs would be used as a restaurant.
She plans to open the remaining two pharmacies, pick up her original profession, and do what she likes.
Chen Qingqing smiled calmly, "Brother, the shop opposite Qingfeng Restaurant is ready. We can start sailing towards our dream there."
After hearing what Chen Qingqing said, Chen Feng remembered that there was a big restaurant across the street.
It was just because the chef's cooking skills were not good enough and could not be compared with Qingshui Restaurant. Customers would not come back for the second time after eating there once, and the restaurant gradually lost its reputation.
In order to reduce further losses, the shop owner closed the shop after less than a month.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly shook his head and waved his hands.
"No, no, I went into that restaurant to collect firewood before it was renovated. It's a large courtyard with three entrances, one more than the Qingshui Restaurant. It's all made of blue bricks and tiles, the rooms are spacious and bright, and there are rockery and a small garden in the courtyard. The layout, furnishings, and decorations are far superior to the Qingshui Restaurant."
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled nonchalantly, "Isn't this great? We can open the business after a little cleaning, and it saves a lot of trouble."
"Little sister, you don't know, but I heard that the shop owner has lost a lot of money and owed a lot of foreign debts, so he doesn't rent out the shop and is anxious to sell it."
"Then let's buy it."
"Ah! Buy it? How much will it cost?"
"Don't worry about these things. I just want to ask you one question: if I buy that shop, do you have the confidence to make the business a success?"
"Yes, with my current cooking skills, I can definitely compete with the best chefs." Chen Feng patted his chest confidently.
Chen Qingqing smiled with satisfaction, "That's what I wanted to hear. However, opening a restaurant is not something that can be done by one or two people. We need more manpower."
"Little sister, you can rest assured about this. Although I'm just a laborer at Qingshui Restaurant, I have a very good relationship with several chefs. Tomorrow, Wang Guotou and I will go ask them if they are willing to work with me."
"Okay, I'll leave the personnel matters to you."
