After dinner, with nothing else to do, Li Chu and Li Wenxuan squatted in the yard and took turns bathing the dogs.
Whether the dog was excited or not, I don't know, but the little rascal was so excited that he couldn't be held in my arms. He was kicking and thrashing about in my arms, and when I put him in the stroller, he almost tipped it over.
Although this little guy kept fussing, he just wouldn't cry. Most kids are like that: if you don't do what I want, I'll cry and show you. In the end, they often end up crying so hard they can't catch their breath. When adults see that this isn't working, they naturally give in to them.
Little Chou Bao jumped and bounced around, then yelled and screamed. In the end, we had to take him out of the stroller and let him come over to help bathe the dog.
Well, that was great! They had so much fun. The dog got clean, but he turned into a little mud monkey.
The giggling laughter could be heard even from outside the gate. Luckily, the weather is warm now, so we don't have to worry about getting cold water on us.
"Okay, stop playing and go back to take a shower."
Li Wenxuan tidied up the basin and brush, then grabbed Xiao Choubao by the back of his clothes and lifted him up.
"Mom and Dad, Yueyue, I'll take her back to her room to take a bath first."
The little guy was being held like that, making "woo-woo" sounds, as if he were riding a little train.
"Oh, right, Mr. Chu, Ms. Qiu Nan, I borrowed 10,000 yuan from my uncle today, and he even gave me an IOU."
"Hmm? Was the share issue settled today?" Li Chu asked, looking up as he sat down at the stone table to get a drink of water.
"Yes, my uncle told me that it's settled. Well... it's based on 100,000. He, my cousin Jia Dong, and my cousin Jia Yuan each got 5%, which means each of them gave Xu Yang's grandfather 5,000 yuan, and then they paid an extra 3,000 yuan to buy the yard, for a total of 8,000 yuan."
"One hundred thousand?" Ding Qiunan turned her head to look at her husband.
"It's reasonable enough. Asking for 200,000 on the first try is a bit much." Li Chu nodded.
When the restaurant's shareholders first sat down to talk, Lou's father immediately set the restaurant's value at 200,000 yuan, meaning his 30% stake was worth 60,000 yuan.
Jia Yuan was even more decisive. Before Lou's father could continue speaking, she directly asked that her shares be acquired at this price. As for who would acquire them, it would definitely be Xu Damao.
Although Jia Dong and Jianguo didn't speak, Xu Damao could tell that if they continued to negotiate at the price his father-in-law had mentioned, they would definitely sell.
Lou's father is now in a bind. He wanted to make more money to support his grandson, not to cause trouble.
Finally, Lou Xiao'e stepped in to smooth things over, agreeing to discuss it again in two days.
Xu Damao was also frustrated. Although he hoped that his restaurant would be as valuable as possible, it couldn't be too outrageous. He couldn't say much to his father-in-law, and he couldn't explain it to Jia Dong and the others. He really became a rat in a bellows, suffering from both sides.
The second negotiation also failed, and the price was lowered to 150,000, but it was still too expensive.
Then came the third, the fourth, and finally the fifth time it dropped to 100,000, which was in line with the expectations of Jiadong and the other two.
Tonight is the night they will re-sign the contract and pay the money.
Ding Jianguo was indeed out of money. His parents still had some, but he didn't want it. Nana wanted to borrow money from her family, but he didn't agree.
The elderly couple had saved up their own money for their funerals, and they believed that this money should not be touched. A family must set aside some money to withstand unknown risks.
That's why he came to Wenxuan to borrow money, and Wang Yueyue, that little rich woman, readily gave him 10,000 yuan.
"Oh, my uncle also said that he will give the head chef of the Cantonese restaurant 10% of the profits every month, and the same will be true after Tan Family Cuisine opens."
These two shops are quite different from the one on Qianmen Street. The success of these two shops depends entirely on the skills of these two master chefs. If they don't find a way to retain their customers, the customers will simply leave, and they'll be completely lost.
Li Chu never interfered in other people's business dealings, since it wasn't his business. Back then, he let Jia Dong and the others invest money because he knew it would definitely make money, and he just wanted to find a way for his relatives to earn extra income.
Now, as long as the courtyard is bought, even if the restaurant goes bad, keeping the courtyard for twenty years and then selling it later will make a fortune.
They had just finished discussing this matter when Jia Dong and his group returned, bringing their respective families, and the six of them stormed in.
Although they are both in their thirties or forties, they still habitually come over to talk to Li Chu about anything important.

Looking at the contracts handed to him by the three men, he nodded in satisfaction. Now he no longer had to worry about the three families.
No matter how fast money depreciates, it can't keep up with the price increase of that courtyard.
...
Wenhui's belly grew bigger and bigger, and she walked very carefully. Unfortunately, she was carrying another child, but it was a boy.
Originally, Elder Shen wanted to let the two of them go back to live, but after thinking it over, he gave up the idea. After all, no matter where they lived, it was not as reassuring as living next to Li Chu.
But……
"Wife, what's wrong with you? You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Wenxuan asked, somewhat surprised, as he withdrew his hand from Wang Yueyue's wrist.
Although he had already checked his wife's pulse three times, he still couldn't believe it. How could she be pregnant? Hadn't they taken precautions?
“I did it on purpose. I want to have another baby for you, just as cute as your little stinky baby.”
"Baby..." The little stinky baby, who was playing with building blocks on the sofa, couldn't understand what his mother meant. He thought his mother was calling him, so he turned around and looked.
"But..." Li Wenxuan didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He was excited and thrilled, but also a little worried.
"But what? Brother Xuan, don't you want another child?" Wang Yueyue asked, pouting, seeing her husband's conflicted expression.
"I don't want anything. Of course I want something, but I'm worried it might affect you."
"So what if it affects me? I'm not afraid."
"Phew~" Li Wenxuan let out a long breath, his gaze falling on his wife's flat stomach.
"Honey, thank you."
"Why thank me? He's not just your child, he's mine too. Come on, let's go tell Mom and Dad."
Without hesitation, Wang Yueyue turned around, picked up the little stinky baby, and put him on the ground: "Stinky baby, let's go to Grandpa and Grandma's place in the back."
"good"
Seeing this, Li Wenxuan hurriedly followed them out, wondering how his parents would react to the news. In any case, his mind was still a jumble of thoughts, filled with all sorts of emotions.
Even though he already had a baby, when he found out his wife was pregnant again, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth, leaving his hands still damp.
The reaction of the two people in the backyard after hearing the news was beyond Wenxuan's expectations; they acted as if they had known all along.
