After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Huo Si Niang pushed open the closed door of the shop. The frontage of this shop was larger than the one she had seen before, and the area of ​​the shop was about 70 square meters.

"This shop is bigger than the previous one, and the location is better. Although it exceeds the conditions you two just mentioned, I still want to take you to have a look."

Xia Wanniang had to say that Huo Si Niang was a very smart person. She first took them to see the shop with a suitable area in the innermost part, and now she took them to see a shop with a larger area.

There is no harm without comparison. Whether it is the location of the store or the house behind the store, it is more suitable for doing business than the previous one.

Xiao Chiye looked at Xia Wanniang: "This shop has a better location."

Xia Wanniang nodded and turned to look at Huo Si Niang, who hadn't said a word the whole time: "Fourth sister, does the shop in the other alley have a yard?"

Huo Si Niang shook her head: "No, it's just a simple shop. Compared with other alleys, this alley is more suitable for doing business or living."

Xia Wanniang followed Huo Si Niang out of the alley and took a carriage to the other two shops. The other two shops were about 50 to 60 square meters in size and did not have a backyard or other living space.

If you need to store items, you will need to rent a new house separately, which is not cost-effective.

Xiao Chiye preferred the second shop he saw, but this matter still depended on Xia Wanniang's opinion.

After looking at the four shops, Xia Wanniang was not in a hurry to book one: "Fourth sister, we still need to go back and think about it. Can you give me a price so that we can go back and discuss it?"

Huo Si Niang smiled and nodded: "The first shop is not for sale at the moment. The daily rent is 35 wen, which is 1 liang and 50 wen a month. The second shop at the corner of the street has a house with a daily rent of 70 wen, which is 2 liang and 1 qian a month. It is also not for sale..."

After hearing all the prices, Xia Wanniang nodded. These four shops were only rented and not sold. They were cheaper than the first shop, and the daily rent was twenty cents.

She smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Fourth Sister. We will leave first today. We will come back to trouble you after the New Year."

Huo Si Niang looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Do you need someone to take you back?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "No, we want to buy some things in the city." After that, she said goodbye to Huo Si Niang.

Xiao Chiye waited until they came out before speaking: "Are there any you like?"

"If we talk about doing business, a second store is more suitable, but we still have a problem." Xia Wanniang had forgotten about this before.

Xiao Chiye smiled and said, "You mean the problem of manpower."

Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "Have you thought of this a long time ago?"

Xiao Chiye nodded: "Luocheng is not far from our village, but it's not close either. It's not impossible to run back and forth every day, but if I do that, I'm afraid there will be no one left at home."

Xia Wanniang: "I have also thought about this issue. At present, the three children have not yet been enrolled in a private school. If it is in Luocheng, it is fine, but if it is near the village, it will be difficult for us to run back and forth."

Xiao Chiye patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, take your time."

A drop of cold liquid fell on the tip of her nose, followed by another drop.

Xia Wanniang stretched out her hand and looked at the rain and snow falling in her palm: "It's raining and snowing. Let's find a place to take shelter first."

Xiao Chiye looked around and saw that the nearest place they were to was the government office gate. "Let's go find Xu Li." He then pulled him and ran towards the government office.

Xia Wanniang and her companions were stopped by the bailiffs at the gate of the yamen.

Xiao Chiye explained his purpose, and the yamen runner turned around and went to the yamen to report with doubt. After receiving the county magistrate's reply, he took the two of them into the yamen.

Xia Wanniang saw that in addition to Xu Li, there were also Yifeng and Liu the Matchmaker in the office room: "Aunt Liu, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Matchmaker Liu had not expected to run into these two people at the government office: "I just happened to come here to give a reply to the county magistrate."

When Xu Li saw the two of them, he quickly asked Yifeng to serve them tea: "I said I would come to see you later, but I didn't expect you to come first."
