Just as An Dafu was about to get up to greet him, he realized that the person who came was Jiang Qinglin, the owner of the shop.
"Jiang Dong family, what's going on here?"
An Wanwan and the others recognized him and got up to come over.
Since he rented the shop, he has only come here to collect rent.
This is the arrival.
This inevitably made An Wanwan and the others feel strange.
Jiang Qinglin glanced at them and said in a low voice, "It's like this, I'm not renting this shop to you."
"What!"
An Ke reacted the strongest, glaring at Jiang Qinglin and saying, "We paid a year's rent this year, and it's not even due yet! Are you trying to raise the rent?!"
"You silly child..."
Su Yueniang was about to say "An Ke" (a greeting).
Jiang Qinglin said, "I don't intend to raise the rent. Instead, I plan to sell this shop. As for the rent you paid, I will refund the remainder and compensate you with one year's rent as stated in the contract."
Hearing him say that...
An Wanwan looked directly at him and asked, "Jiang Dongjia, you said you planned to sell this shop. Have you found a buyer? Why do you want to sell the shop?"
An Miaomiao also wanted to ask that.
Jiang Qinglin remained silent for quite some time.
An Miaomiao urged, "Jiang Dongjia, why don't you answer my sister's question?"
Jiang Qinglin coughed awkwardly and said, "It's like this, my unfilial son failed in business and lost a lot of money. I had no choice but to sell a shop to help him. I've already listed this shop on the black market, and the highest bidder wins. If you also want to buy it, you can go and bid together."
So that's how it is.
An Wanwan and the others hadn't spoken yet.
Jiang Qinglin began to speak again.
"You can continue selling snacks until the shop is auctioned off, but once I notify you to move and give you the money, you can no longer sell it."
An Wanwan asked which auction shop was in the black market and then she and An Miaomiao set off for the black market.
Even though it was afternoon, there were still quite a few people in the black market.
When An Wanwan and her friends arrived at the Auspicious and Prosperous Shop, the shop owner was auctioning off an antique necklace.
I don't know if I passed or not.
An Wanwan and the others split up to inquire about it.
I learned that it hasn't been auctioned yet.
An Wanwan and An Miaomiao found an empty spot to sit and wait, and they waited for half an hour.
The shopkeeper declared firmly, "Next up for auction is a shop. Anyone who enjoys snacks will probably recognize it—it's the famous Anji Snack Shop in town. The starting bid is six hundred taels of silver, and each bid must be at least fifty taels of silver."
That means it would cost at least six hundred taels of silver.
An Miaomiao nudged An Wanwan and whispered, "Wanwan, how much money did you bring with you?"
"Three thousand taels..."
After An Wanwan finished answering, she started bidding. She was the first to bid, so she didn't bid too high, only 650 taels.
"Six hundred and fifty taels at a time..."
The shopkeeper called out once, and someone raised the price. The person who raised the price was a young man, who asked for seven hundred taels.
Shops with good business naturally attract more customers.
The price of the shop quickly increased from the initial 650 taels of silver to 1,600 taels of silver.
This was the price An Wanwan quoted.
Just when An Miaomiao thought they had it in the bag, a familiar male voice rang out: "I offer three thousand taels..."
Who is it?
An Miaomiao looked over and her eyes widened in surprise. How could it be him?
Why is he dressed so well!
