Upon opening the door, she was met with a barrage of questions and angry shouts, leaving Zhiyin completely bewildered.
However, seeing the two people's eyes that seemed to want to devour him, and their incessant, rambling curses, Zhiyin also became angry.
"Trying to frame me? When did I ever harm you? Do you suffer from paranoia?"
"If you keep spouting nonsense and slandering me, believe me, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Zhiyin coldly stared at the two of them, and then made a move to attack them directly.
At this moment, Grandmother and Aunt were clearly startled. Their minds, which had been clouded by anger, gradually calmed down, and they hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, "Really not you?"
"This afternoon, when we were selling crayfish and snails, someone came to our door looking for trouble, insisting that the snails we sold were poisonous and that eating them would kill people. This caused all the customers who had bought them to force us to refund their money, and even led to the government taking the matter to the authorities. Wasn't it you who caused us to lose a lot of money for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin's lips twitched, and she finally understood. She couldn't help but think to herself, "What a small world!"
It's amazing that they're the ones selling golden apple snails! What a coincidence!
"Mom, it must be her. Who else could it be? She must be jealous of our business and want to steal her business, so she deliberately hired someone to mess with us."
Auntie didn't believe it at all. She was furious. She had only been setting up her stall for two days and had earned about one or two taels of silver.
They were overjoyed, dreaming of becoming rich themselves someday.
Who would have thought that before they could even dream for two days, their business would be sabotaged, causing it to fail and resulting in a huge financial loss?
Now, not only have I not earned any money, but I've actually lost several hundred coins.
They were furious.
She wasn't actually sure if Zhiyin was responsible, but she was convinced it was Zhiyin and determined to pin the blame on her.
After all, they learned from her, so there are conflicts of interest. It's normal for her to disapprove of them, and there shouldn't be anyone else besides her.
Moreover, they already had a grudge against each other.
"Tsk... So what do you guys suggest we do?"
Zhiyin leaned leisurely against the door frame, looking at the two of them with indifference and mockery.
"What should we do? Of course, we should compensate us for our losses!"
Auntie looked completely at ease, her eyes shining with the thought of making amends.
"Tsk tsk tsk... compensate you? How dare you have such a big face?"
Although it wasn't the first time Zhiyin had known that the two were shameless, she was still shocked by their audacity.
"you…"
Auntie was annoyed by Zhiyin's indifferent expression and pointed at Zhiyin.
"Don't point your dirty fingers at me. If it happens again, I'll break your hand, you believe me?"
Upon seeing this, Zhiyin's face instantly turned cold. Without any politeness, she grabbed her aunt's fingers and pulled them down forcefully in the opposite direction.
Hearing her aunt's heart-wrenching screams, a cruel sneer curled at the corner of her lips.
"No, no, no...we misunderstood you, let's go, let's go, please don't break it!"
Grandmother was startled, not because she felt sorry for her eldest aunt, but because she was afraid that after her hand was broken, she would never be able to get out of bed and help with farm work again.
"Get lost!"
Zhiyin casually slapped her aunt's hand away and said coldly.
Seeing the anger that her aunt dared not express in her eyes, she smiled gently again, "This is the last time. If you come knocking on our door again for no reason, I'll break your legs so you can never walk again!"
Her voice was full of mockery, as if she were joking.
But to my aunt and grandmother, it sounded like the whispers of a demon, chilling and terrifying.
Hearing these terrifying and insane words, the two of them truly believed that a kindred spirit could do such a thing. They were so frightened that they supported each other and ran away in a panic.
"Why are these two always haunting us?"
Yao Yulin walked over at this moment and couldn't help but frown. "It's like she's sick. She never gets anything good out of it, but she still has to come and make trouble."
"It's just being cheap..."
Zhiyin shrugged casually, then couldn't help but sigh at the thought that it was actually the golden apple snails they were selling.
If she had known earlier that it was those two who sold it, she should have gone to watch the spectacle and made a scene so that everyone would know.
But...
Zhiyin stroked her chin thoughtfully, feeling that the two of them probably wouldn't give up so easily.
After all, crayfish and snails are free; you can easily stir-fry them and sell them for money.
"Tsk... You'd better pray you stop selling golden apple snails, otherwise... tsk tsk tsk."
Those who are close to them can imagine that if someone actually ate this stuff and got infected, developed a fever, or even died, they probably wouldn't have a good ending.
He might be secretly beaten to death with sticks.
After all, someone who can afford this thing is probably not an ordinary person.
It was just a minor incident, and Zhiyin didn't pay any more attention to it.
Instead, he closed the door and started painting again.
…
The next day, since Zhiyin didn't go to set up her stall and Zhihua didn't have an exam, the family of three slept in until late morning, which was quite rare.
After a quick meal, Zhiyin drove the mule cart with Zhihua and Luban ruler to the newly purchased shop.
"Wow, sister, this is your new shop? It's huge!"
Zhihua was shocked as soon as she entered, and kept pacing around the room.
"Yes."
Zhiyin smiled and let Zhihua wander around on her own before looking down at the empty shop and pondering.
This shop needs major renovations; we need to create four or five private rooms. Otherwise, it's not good to have all the diners crammed into one large living room.
It can easily cause unnecessary trouble and conflict.
With that in mind, she hurriedly went to find a renovation contractor in town.
I explained the decorating style, room sizes, etc. to the contractor.
The master nodded repeatedly; he was a straightforward person. He immediately went back to get his tools and got his apprentices to work.
"By the way, Mr. Li, how long will it take to complete the renovation?"
Seeing Master Li leave in a hurry, Zhiyin quickly asked, "Does she still want to open for business and earn money as soon as possible?"
"It's not very difficult, so it will take at most five days."
Zhiyin nodded in satisfaction and then took out the Lu Ban ruler to measure the roughly planned space.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Zhiyin was busy and enthusiastic, Zhihua curiously squatted down in front of her.
"Take approximate measurements to help plan how many tables we need in the main hall, and the approximate dimensions of the tables and chairs, etc..."
"Only in this way can the space be used to its fullest potential, without being too crowded or too spacious, making guests feel comfortable and at home."
The confidant measured and answered the questions simultaneously.
"Oh, I see."
After measuring everything and having a general idea in her mind, Zhiyin immediately went to find the carpenter.
Ask him to help me customize tables and chairs.
Since there are planned to be 5 private rooms, a total of 5 large round tables that can accommodate eight or nine people are needed.
A standard square table would require approximately 20 of them.
