The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 149 Buying a Shop

Grandma Wang was just checking out the school first, because she planned to send all her promising grandsons here.

When the old gentleman heard that Mrs. Wang had some grandchildren coming, he said he would bring the children over for the test, and he would be willing to accept them as long as they passed.

Although the old man was old-fashioned, he was naturally happy that more children could learn.

These days, which teacher doesn't hope to have students all over the world?
After visiting the Qingmu Academy, Old Mrs. Wang went to the Yang Family Private School. There was only one teacher and his wife at the school.

The entire private school had only seven or eight children, all of whom were lively and active.

When the teacher heard that Old Mrs. Wang wanted to send her child, he smiled and said, "Of course you can. Just prepare the paper and pen your child needs, and he can come to school."

Beside him, his wife, Madam Mo, stared intently at little Ayu, her eyes filled with amusement.

"Is this the child you're sending here? I'm delighted just looking at him."

Madam Yang is only twenty-six years old this year, and due to health reasons, she cannot conceive.

They only adopted one girl, named Liu'er. Liu'er was not in good health, so she was raised in a private school and cared for with great care.

Therefore, Mrs. Yang was always happy whenever she saw a lovable and healthy child.

"Ayu, do you like it here?" Old Mrs. Wang asked little Ayu first.

Little Ayu cannot participate in the imperial examinations, so there is no need for her to go to a place like Qingmu Academy. If she becomes a bookworm, that wouldn't be good.

It's not as comfortable as a private school.

Little Ayu nodded: "I like it!"

A few boys had just come to play with her, and seeing them reminded Xiao Ayu of her friends in the village.

Everyone here is a very nice person.

When Mo heard what Xiao Ayu said, she was also happy.

"What a good kid."

So the Yang family private school was also arranged here, with the children to be sent over in a while.

As for which students will attend formal schools and which will attend private tutoring, that will depend on their actual talents.

It's unrealistic to expect all children to take the imperial examinations.

Wang Chuangui thought that after buying the house and visiting the school, he should go home.

As a result, Old Mrs. Wang turned around and went to Nanhe Street.

"Mother, do you need to buy something?" Wang Chuangui said to Old Mrs. Wang. "What do you need to buy? I'll go buy it. You've been walking for so long, your legs must be tired."

Grandma Wang was completely unmoved: "What, do you think your old mother is holding you back? If you don't want to come along, then don't come along. Go stay on your own!"

Wang Chuangui: "That's not what I meant. I was just worried that you'd get tired."

"I'm not tired! It's not time for me to rest yet!"

Mrs. Wang first strolled around the street, taking a look at what each shop was selling.

I bought two pastries for Xiao Ayu along the way, and let her hold them and eat them.

Then we went to Nanhe Second Street, which was a little quieter than Nanhe Main Street, but more orderly than Nanhe Third Street.

Most of the shops were open, while some were closed with "For Sale" signs posted on the doors.

Grandma Wang stared at it for a long time, maintaining a blank expression.

Wang Chuangui: "Mother, what are you looking at? Tell your son, and I'll help you think about it."

The only response he received was the back of Old Mrs. Wang's head.

Little Ayu: "Grandma, what are you looking at? Is it these words on the door?"

Grandma Wang smiled gently and replied, "Grandma is looking around to see if there are any suitable shops. How about we buy one for Ayu?"

Wang Chuangui: ...

Mom, do you have to be so obvious in how you treat people?!

Little Ayu asked, "Why are we buying a shop? Don't we have a new house?"

"The shop is for doing business. You can sell your candied hawthorns here in the future," Grandma Wang explained carefully.

I still have a lot of money left over. If I were to save it all up, I'm afraid I'd only have this much left in the end.

Naturally, one must find ways to make money from money.

The house has been bought, and it will be shared by everyone in the future. It will definitely not be sold again unless absolutely necessary.

Buying the shop is the real source of income that generates money.

Of course, these were rather complex topics, and Grandma Wang naturally didn't discuss them with little Ayu. Little Ayu seemed to understand, but only knew that Grandma wouldn't do anything wrong.

Just listen to Grandma.

Wang Chuangui was a little worried: "Mother, do we have enough money?"

What Wang Chuangui was more worried about was the large sum of money his family owed. His parents never revealed exactly how much it was.

I've never seen the creditors come to my door, but it's unacceptable not to pay back the money.

Now that we finally have some money, why don't our parents use it to pay off their debts?
"Don't worry, it's enough to support a good-for-nothing like you." Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes.

Wang Chuangui: "..." When I was truly a good-for-nothing, you never scolded me like this.

It seems he needs to study even harder, otherwise he won't be able to memorize as much as his little niece or earn as much money as his mother.

If all the nephews in the family pass their exams and he still achieves nothing, then he is truly a good-for-nothing.

Grandma Wang finally found a shop she liked, which had a small courtyard attached to the back.

There is a bedroom, a storeroom, and a kitchen in the courtyard.

The shop used to sell general merchandise, and the display cases are still there; it occupies a large enough space.

The main reason is that it's cheap.

The shopkeeper was from out of town. His wife had divorced him, his mother had died, and he was busy going back to attend the funeral. He also had a lot of other things to take care of.

In addition, the shop's business wasn't doing well, and he wanted to sell it off as soon as possible and leave this place of heartbreak.

As luck would have it, the notices on the other shops were all unsatisfactory to Old Mrs. Wang, but she saw the notice on this shop as soon as the shopkeeper put it up.

It was intercepted midway.

A whole shop, which can also be used as a house, and the price is only 120 taels. It's a real bargain.

Shops are worth much more than houses, and the transfer procedures are simpler than for houses. They also skipped the middleman step, saving a lot of money.

The laws of the Great Chang Kingdom stipulate that houses cannot be built without a middleman; someone must act as guarantor.

Just like marriages must have a matchmaker, otherwise they are illegal.

"Mom, we're really lucky today." With another shop added to their household, Wang Chuangui felt dizzy.

He still remembers that even before the New Year, his family was worried about a few taels of silver.

In order to save money, he asked his family many times not to buy him any more medicine.

In the blink of an eye, I have so much money that I can buy both houses and shops.

Grandma Wang glanced at him and said, "You should think about when our family started to have good luck."

Wang Chuangui was the smartest among his sons, and he immediately turned his attention to the bewildered little Ayu.

Yes, it seems that things started to get better at home after we found little Ayu.

Wang Chuangui had heard very little of the rumors circulating outside because of his previous paralysis, but that didn't stop him from making connections.

Could it be that Xiao Ayu was sent by heaven to save their family?

"Don't think about those things. This good fortune comes from Ayu. As her uncle, you mustn't be stingy. Stand up early and support our family so that no one will bully us in the future." Most importantly, only by standing in a certain position can you better protect little Ayu.

Before she turned seven, Grandma Wang did not plan to send little Ayu to any more distant places.

Wang Chuangui's expression hardened: "Mother, I understand."

After buying the shop, it was already late. The kind-hearted shopkeeper simply left them all the items in the back room.

“You’ll probably be going back to the village very late now, so I won’t take those blankets and quilts. If you don’t mind, you can make do with them for the night.” The shopkeeper packed up the other important things and then said, “As long as it can stay here, I’ll miss this shop. I hope you can treat it well, and I wish you a prosperous business in advance.”

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Then I'll accept your kind words, shopkeeper."

That night, Wang Chuangui was made to sleep on the footstool, while Old Mrs. Wang and Xiao Ayu slept in the bed.

The three of them barely managed to spend one night together.

The Wang family waited and waited, but when they didn't see them return, they started to get anxious.

After dark, they knew that they might not be coming back.

The next day, Old Mrs. Wang took Wang Chuangui and Xiao Ayu back home.

The Wang family was stunned to learn that they had acquired a new house and a shop.

My head hurts, so I'm writing slowly. I'll try to update more often.
