Chapter 243 Bet the Pastry Shop Will Close Down



Many people are even making bets, with some betting that the pastry shop will close down within a month.

Some people even bet that the dim sum shop would close within seven days.

The result left everyone speechless. On the very first day, the pastry shop sold out all of its premium pastries, which were more expensive than gold, and people were still scrambling to buy them.

However, the people who made the bet didn't believe it, thinking that the customers were actors hired by the pastry shop owner.

This kind of thing is very common; touts are everywhere.

But then, the next day...

They open at nine o'clock and sell out before noon; the speed is still as fast as ever.

The number of people was just as high, with a large portion being customers who looked somewhat familiar from yesterday, but also many unfamiliar faces.

Those who made the bet believed that the pastry shop owner was attracting so many people to buy by offering "buy one get one free" and "free samples".

Once the event is over, no one will patronize the pastry shop.

Therefore, for the past two or three days, there were often many people gathered outside the dim sum shop from opening to closing time.

Wanwan Dim Sum Shop

An Wan was unaware that someone outside had bet that her family's business would go out of business; she was holding Lu Zhili's hand.

"Little sister, I'm not scared, I'm just nervous because it's the first time I've seen so much money." He pouted and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"Don't be afraid, count quickly. Once we've saved enough money, we'll build a new house in a few days." Earning 10,000 yuan a day will add up to 20,000 yuan in two days. That's enough to buy a 200-square-meter plot of land in the county town and build a three-story house, not to mention a villa in the countryside.

Once An Wan and others have enough money, they will hoard land. By the time 21st century arrives, the land prices will have increased a hundredfold.

"Yes, yes, yes, build a new house, I want to live in a new house." He was happy just thinking about having a new house.

After the old house in Lujia Village collapsed, the little rascals next door all said he was homeless and would have to become a beggar.

Yunping and the others were very happy to hear that they had saved money to build a new house.

"I earned over ten thousand yesterday, and another ten thousand today. Ten thousand is enough to build a house in the countryside. It all feels so unreal. Am I dreaming?"

Yunping was extremely excited.

After her old house in Lujia Village collapsed, she couldn't sleep well and kept thinking about building a new house as soon as possible, even if it was just a brick house.

When the children grow up and we have some money, we'll build a cement brick house.

Unexpectedly, the dim sum shop earned more than 20,000 yuan in just two days after opening.

It's simply a miracle.

She still feels like she's dreaming.

If she hadn't personally counted the money yesterday and put over ten thousand yuan in cash into the jewelry box, she wouldn't have believed that everything before her eyes was real.

"Mom, this isn't a dream, it's real, more real than pearls." Lu Chunhe put his arm around Yunping's shoulder and comforted her softly.

"Yes, it's true, it's true." Yunping's voice choked with sobs, her eyes filled with tears as she leaned on Lu Chunhe's shoulder.

Seeing his wife crying tears of joy, Lu Sen was filled with mixed emotions.

He was both happy and worried. Outsiders had been talking about it for the past two days, all betting that the pastry shop would soon close down.

Some even suspected that his boss had hired him to act.

Those people were all waiting to see their own family make a fool of themselves.

Even though he earned so much money these past two days, it was all thanks to his wife and everyone else's hard work. He saw it all.

It's not like the money was handed to him for free. Even his wife thinks that making money so quickly is unrealistic.

Let alone outsiders.

In a few days, if business remains as booming as it has been these past two days, the rumors will naturally dissipate.

But outsiders will gradually believe that the dim sum shop is really good, and they will also be able to roughly calculate the daily turnover.

If they found out that the daily turnover is over 10,000, they would probably be shocked to death.

"Why don't we build a new house in a few days? We can also buy land in the county town to build a new house. Renting is inconvenient and a considerable expense."

Lu Jingming was also thinking about the new house; he wanted a house in the county town that belonged to his family.

Firstly, it would make it easier for their family to do business.

Secondly, it makes studying more convenient, so there's no need to board at school.

School is nowhere near as convenient and comfortable as home.

Lu Yanshu nodded, looking at Lu Sen and Yun Ping. "Mom and Dad, can we build the house first?"

He was afraid they would use the money they had earned in the past two days to pay back He Sichen as soon as possible.

Although it is only right to pay back debts.

But now I don't even have my own house, and I'm renting someone else's place. I'm always uncomfortable and uneasy, even though I pay the rent on time.

An Wan looked up at Yun Ping and said, "I think Third Brother is right. It's only comfortable to live in a house that belongs to your own family. Mom, 20,000 yuan is enough for the house for now. We'll pay back the money we owe Brother Si Chen soon."

She knew that Lu Sen and Yun Ping were honest, kind, and upright people. They must be very anxious and guilty for owing He Sichen tens of thousands of yuan.

I wanted to pay back the money as soon as possible, because the other person also needed money. I couldn't assume that just because someone has money, they can refuse to pay back the money.

They even have money but don't pay it back, and they still buy houses and cars, go on trips and eat lavish meals.

This is also the mentality of most people; they all want to repay the money as soon as possible.

Only a few people believe that they have earned the money through their own abilities and will never repay it in this lifetime.

Ke Anwan felt that her family's situation was somewhat complicated and difficult, and that it was necessary to build a new house first since they had no other place to live.

At least there is a home to return to, a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Outsiders wouldn't use this to laugh at their own family.

Lu Sen's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on each child. "Don't worry! Dad knows what he's doing, we'll get the house."

He was actually conflicted; he wanted to build a new house to fulfill his children's wishes.

But he also wanted to pay back the tens of thousands of yuan he owed He Sichen first, so that he could feel at ease and only have to repay the favor slowly in the future.
