Tang Xiahe said, "Don't listen to that old woman's bluff. Our shop wasn't rented from the Sun family. Does she really think she can control everything?"
Everyone thought so too. No matter how rich and powerful the Sun family was, they couldn't possibly prevent them from opening their shops with just a few words.
But as it turned out, they were too naive. Before they could even clean up the mess, Mr. Yang, the landlord who rented the house to them, arrived.
He said apologetically to Tang Xiahe, "Ms. Tang, I'm sorry, I can't rent this shop to you anymore. Please pack your things quickly, and I'll refund the overpaid rent to you right now!"
This was like a bolt from the blue. Tang Xiahe asked, "Boss Yang, we signed a three-year lease. It's unreasonable for you to suddenly ask us to move out!"

Mr. Yang was a very honest and responsible person, and Xu Lanzhi was very considerate. She never shortchanged him on rent and often brought him chickens and local specialties. Mr. Yang and his wife liked them very much.
Mr. Yang said with a heavy expression, "Mr. Xia, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you, but you've offended Old Madam Sun, so I have no choice but to take back the shop!"
Tang Qiqi asked curiously, "Is the Sun family really that powerful? Are you all subject to their control?"
Mr. Yang told them that most of the businesses in Huaiyuan County belonged to the Sun family, and most merchants did business with the Sun family. Madam Sun had declared that if Mr. Yang did not take back the shop, the Sun family would no longer do business with him.
This was a fatal blow to them, and Mr. Yang certainly wouldn't offend the Sun family for a mere amount of rent.
Yindi then asked, "What connection does the private tutor Liu Rufeng have with the Sun family? Why does Old Madam Sun interfere so much in the affairs of the private school?"
Mr. Yang said, "Mr. Liu has some connection with the Sun family. It is said that this connection was established when Liu Rufeng's mother was alive, but I don't know the specifics!"
After explaining, Mr. Yang said with difficulty, "Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry, please take the things out of this shop as soon as possible, I have no other choice!"
After saying that, he took out a silver note and handed it to Tang Xiahe, saying, "Boss Xia, I'm sorry to trouble you to pass on the remaining rent to Madam Xu!"
Tang Xiahe was at a loss for what to do. Tang Qiqi stepped forward and said, "Uncle Yang, don't rush to return the money. There might still be room for maneuver in this matter."

"Uncle Yang, surely there's someone in Huaiyuan who can keep Old Madam Sun in check?"
Mr. Yang shook his head and said, "Reporting to the authorities is definitely useless. The Sun family bears the lion's share of the county's taxes. The county magistrate would never turn down the God of Wealth."
The only person who could control Madam Sun would be Old Master Sun, who hasn't been involved in family affairs for a long time. Right, the Sun family has had only one son for three generations, and Madam Sun dotes on her son and grandson. Maybe those two could persuade her!
After hearing this, Tang Qiqi said to Boss Yang, "Uncle Yang, how about this? You keep the rent, and we'll close for a few days. If things improve, you can continue to rent the house to us."
If there's really no other way, we can move then. We won't cause you any trouble!
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiahe thought it was the best solution at the moment. It was such a big deal, so she went to tell Xu Lanzhi. She also asked Boss Yang to do as Qiqi suggested.
Boss Yang repeatedly told them not to open for business in the next few days, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Old Madam Sun.
As soon as Boss Yang left, Tang Xiahe sighed and said, "It's like being at home when trouble comes out of nowhere. How did I offend that old lady Sun?"
"Jiedi, tell me, what trouble did you get into at the private school?"
Jiedi said doubtfully, "No, it's just that a few days ago, Madam Sun's grandson, Sun Haotian, went to the private school and accidentally bumped his head! Later, Madam Sun went to the private school to cause trouble for Qiqi, so we played a little trick on his old woman. And she still wants to retaliate for such a small thing!"

Tang Xiahe refused to believe it and asked sternly, "That old lady made such a fuss over such a small matter? Do you think I'm stupid? Tell me honestly what happened!"
Baogen quickly chimed in, "It really is just that little thing; it's that old hag who's been pushing us so hard!"
The other children nodded firmly and said, "We really didn't do anything!"
Tang Xiahe couldn't get any answers, but the fact that the shop couldn't operate was a big deal. Tang Xiahe immediately decided to take the children back to Tangjiagou. She had to tell Xu Lanzhi about this!
Tang Qiqi remained silent for a long time, trying to figure out where to begin to solve the problem.
However, returning to Tangjiagou would definitely be a bad idea. Although Xu Lanzhi can now manage the family's chicken farm very well, she has no way to deal with the wealthy and powerful Old Madam Sun.
She's just a child now, so she has to start with the children. She needs to find a way to see Sun Haotian. Although he's young, he's Old Madam Sun's precious darling! So she absolutely cannot go back to Tangjiagou now!
Tang Qiqi said bluntly, "Second Aunt, I don't think my mother can do anything about this. Going back will only make her worry!"
Tang Xiahe said helplessly, "I know this is difficult, but all I'm good at is cursing and fighting. I don't know how to do anything else. It's such a big deal, and your mother is worried about me, so I have to tell her. Come on, let's all go back!"
Yindi, who was standing to the side, also had her own ideas. Now that her eldest sister had gone to Lanling, she was the eldest daughter in the family.

Although she was easily offended, she had to try her best to help her family in their time of need. A few days ago, her second aunt had secretly told her about the planting base, and she thought that Xu Lanzhi was already quite troubled enough! She couldn't go back to Tangjiagou either.
So Yindi said, "Second Aunt, of course we should tell my mother about this, but the shop is in such a mess right now. If we all leave, people will think something's wrong with Tang's."
"Why don't you go back alone? I'll stay here with my sisters. We'll stick to our agreement with Boss Yang and not open for business. We'll just say to the outside world that we're short of chickens and can't keep up with demand. We'll even let my sisters go out and show their faces!"
This was exactly what Tang Qiqi wanted to say, so she quickly chimed in, "Second Sister is absolutely right. Not only will it take you a long time to travel with us, but it will also make people suspicious for no reason. Second Aunt, why don't you go back by yourself? We'll stay here and tidy up the shop. Maybe things will take a turn for the better!"
Seeing that the two children made sense, Tang Xiahe packed her things simply and went back to Tangjiagou early the next morning to report the news.
Jiedi pulled Yindi and Baogen together to come up with a solution. Yindi told her to take good care of her younger sister, saying that she had to go out for a while, and then she disappeared.
Tang Qi and Qi were left unattended because she was always elusive and unpredictable.
She gave a few candies to Sidi, Niandi, and Pandi, told them she was going to take a nap, and then disappeared.
It's just a matter of whether these two sisters can solve this urgent problem!
