"What!" Boss Liu suddenly raised his head, his face, full of fat, turning pale and then red, looking extremely ugly.
However, when he met Su An's cold and mocking gaze, his heart skipped a beat.
He could only suppress his anger and awkwardly say, "Grandma, this teahouse is my lifeline, and in such a prime location, it's worth a fortune! Losing money is no problem, but isn't this a bit... outrageous!"
Su An shrugged. "I almost lost my life, so it's fair that I paid you with my manhood. We're even now."
"Or do you think my life isn't worth this price?"
Mr. Liu instantly wanted to curse, "Damn it, this is blatant extortion!"
At the same moment, however, a cold glint of light swept over from the man in the wheelchair.
He had to suppress his anger instantly, and, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, hurriedly replied, "It's worth it, it's worth it! It's only right to compensate you, my lady! I'll go get the land deed right away!"
Otherwise, if I were thrown into the yamen, I would be imprisoned for most of my life for such a crime, which would be a huge loss!
As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood!
Before long, Su An, who had come in with such a fierce air, returned home with a land deed tucked in his hand.
It's one thing to say something, but it's another thing to actually get the land deed in your hands.
She was so happy she couldn't resist pinching her cheek. Ouch! That really hurt. She wasn't dreaming!
Seeing her flushed face, Fu Zhun's phoenix eyes crinkled with a smile. "Are you that happy?"
It's just a shop.
"Of course!" Su An smiled happily, her eyes crinkling. She was shocked when she arrived at the teahouse. The elegantly decorated three-story building was located in the bustling market area of the county center, and it was indeed worth its weight in gold.
Her bright eyes were fixed on Fu Zhun. He truly lived up to his name as the God of Wealth. She wished she could just pick him up and lift him high in the air!
Fu Zhun's handsome face flushed as he looked at him, and he lowered his eyelashes and coughed lightly.
Su An was too excited to see anything, and kept thanking them, promising that the meals would be extra good and that they would be served the best food and drinks.
He then rushed home to share this wonderful news.
Zhou Li, who felt like he'd been fed a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), thought: "..."
It's alright, Your Highness, you can spoil me as you please, I'll just mooch some food!
Within a few days, Boss Liu swiftly cleaned up the teahouse, even removing the signboard, making it ready for immediate move-in.
Su An couldn't wait any longer, so he took his family to the teahouse for a stroll.
The teahouse is a three-story building, becoming more and more exquisite and elegant as you go up, full of poetic and picturesque charm, with private rooms, screens, and other amenities.
The spacious backyard has six main rooms for living, two storage rooms, a locust tree for shade, a stone table and reclining chairs, making it a very pleasant place.
The three children were already running around excitedly, vying to choose their favorite little rooms.
"I want to live in this house by the tree, it's so cool!" Little Su Yue said, plopping down outside the door as if afraid her two older brothers would take it away from her.
"Tch, I don't care. I want to live over there where the sun is shining. A real man should get plenty of sunshine!" Su Ting laughed heartily and excitedly swept past the little girl.
Su Jiang, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, went straight to the quietest room.
Fortunately, those two silly girls and boys don't know where the best place is; they're only comfortable when it's quiet and peaceful.
Cheers filled the entire courtyard in an instant.
Su An smiled with satisfaction as she told Li Guihua about her plans. She wanted to turn this place into a breakfast shop, and then sell more than just steamed buns.
But Li Guihua was terrified ever since she came in. Even after her daughter told her the whole story, she still couldn't believe it.
"This... such a good shop, are you really just giving it away like this?"
Su An felt helpless. Her mother, who was used to being taken advantage of, still acted this way even when faced with the truth.
Just as she was about to reiterate her certainty, Mr. Liu suddenly appeared.
He had specifically gone to inform Su An's family to come and look at the shop, but he didn't expect the whole family to look at it for so long. They couldn't wait any longer and came in.
Upon hearing this, he immediately rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, fawningly saying, "It really was a gift from you, Auntie. The land deed has been approved, it's absolutely genuine!"
Su An was annoyed when she saw him and told him to get lost: "I've looked at the shop, there's no problem, you can get out of here."
"No, please, Grandma!" Boss Liu immediately looked distressed and pleaded.
“I did something wrong before, and I’m really sorry, Auntie. But if I give you the shop, I’ll lose half of my possessions. I don’t know where to go if I leave. Please let me stay and work. I can do odd jobs or run errands in the shop. Consider it my way of atoning for my sins!”
"Atonement?" Su An narrowed his eyes in disbelief. Heh, could this fat guy really be that kind?
Mr. Liu said with increasing heartache, "Of course! I sincerely want to atone for my sins and will not accept a single penny of wages! Besides, I am really reluctant to part with the shop. After all, it has been with me for so long, and I am just reminiscing about it."
He spoke with utmost sincerity, almost to the point of weeping in anguish to prove his repentance, insisting on staying and working there no matter what.
Seeing his determined look and his refusal to accept wages, Su An sneered inwardly but agreed outwardly, "Alright then."
After all, they have a history of conflict. Keeping him under our watchful eyes is better than him harboring resentment and plotting something behind our backs later.
Mr. Liu was overjoyed, his face beaming with gratitude.
Only after he left did his face suddenly darken.
"You gave away the shop for free, and now you want me to work for free? Are you crazy?!" Wang Mazi was dragged over to apologize to Su An, but after hearing those words, he pulled Boss Liu into an alley to question him.
After shaking him off, Boss Liu scolded him with exasperation, "You're the one who's crazy! Have you forgotten what our original purpose was? Wasn't it all for the formula!"
"The shop may be gone, but now it's great. As long as I can sneak in, I can learn whatever I want."
"Don't even mention milk tea recipes, I can learn how to make steamed buns and soy milk too!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mazi suddenly understood, and his cunning, monkey-like face broke into a grin: "You're something else! If you learn those skills, what's a shop? You'll have mountains of gold and silver in the future!"
As they spoke, the two exchanged a cruel smile.
...
Over the course of half a month, Su An renovated and decorated the teahouse according to his own style until he was satisfied, and the signboard was officially hung up as Su Family Breakfast Shop.
After everything was completed, the family planned to move there and also intended to rent out their current small steamed bun shop.
However, Su An did not forget about the neighbor next door.
Before leaving, she knocked on the door next door with a hint of reluctance.
Seeing Zhou Li pushing Fu Zhun out, she felt more and more sorry for the master and servant.
The two, a lively character and a wealthy man, will now be separated by more than ten streets.
I wonder if the God of Wealth's fortune will continue to be stable even though we're so far apart?
"I'm here to say goodbye. I'm moving out now." Suppressing her reluctance, Su An gave the two a smile and said, "Thank you for your help during this time..."
However, Zhou Li quickly waved his hand with a smile: "Young boss, don't be in such a hurry to say goodbye. We've already packed everything up, shall we go together?"
