Liu Caixia was not in a hurry and just waited outside the counter.

There were fewer people in the store at this time, so their group was considered relatively large.

Occasionally, one or two passers-by would look in their direction.

In particular, they looked at Liu Caixia more often, and it was obvious that Liu Caixia was the one in charge of their group, while Liu Hao and Chu Long stood behind them like bodyguards.

Liu Caixia held Liu Xiaolu's hand, and Tian Zhaodi stood on the other side of Liu Xiaolu.

Form an encircling formation.

"Sir, I have selected four suitable places for you. There is a shop on the main street of North Street. There is a lot of traffic there. It used to be a food business. The front of the shop is two connected rooms, and there is a small courtyard in the back. The small courtyard has two main rooms, a utility room and a kitchen.

Another very good thing about this shop is that there is a well in the yard. The family had a good business, but they met an unreliable son who got addicted to gambling. Now the couple wants to sell the shop and yard. They helped their son pay off his gambling debts and planned to go to the next county town to live with their daughter with the remaining money.

They won't be able to control this son anymore. Everything is done through formal procedures, you can rest assured that no one will come to cause trouble in the future. Their son is a bully, don't be afraid of him.

There is another shop with a better location, but it only has a small room and can only sell groceries or other items, not food.

This location is really good. I will take you to see it later. It is right on the main street. Then there are two houses on the east street. If you buy a shop on the main street, you can also live on the east street.

There is also a shop on East Street near the two houses. I can take you there now."

After listening to what the waiter said, Liu Caixia was very satisfied and had the urge to buy them all, but unfortunately her financial situation did not allow it.

"Okay, then please take us to have a look."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements and take you there."

The waiter took a bag from the counter and put it on his back. Although Liu Caixia was curious, she didn't ask any questions and followed the waiter out the door.

After walking out of the door and turning right for less than a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the east street. The dental shop was also on the street, so it was not far to walk there.

The first one we looked at was this shop with a yard on East Street. The waiter knocked on the door, and a couple of women who looked very haggard and vicissitudes of life opened the door. They first saw the waiter, then looked at the people behind him, and said to the waiter, "Xiao Wang, are you here to take someone to see the yard? Come in quickly!"

Xiao Wang: "Yeah, I saw your shop in front was closed, so I had to knock on the side door."

"The shop has been closed for a long time. You know my disappointing son. Even if I want to do business to pay off his debts, I can't do it. Is this lady going to buy the shop?"

The woman looked at the group of people, and finally looked at Liu Caixia for a few times. She was a woman with good eyesight and recognized at a glance that Liu Caixia was the leader of the group.

The waiter quickly introduced: "Yes, it's this lady who wants to see it."

Liu Caixia didn't know what to call her, so she called her aunt as usual: "Aunt, please show us around! Can we see the shop in front now?"

"Look, my man is cleaning up inside. Sorry to have embarrassed you. Please come in."

After the woman and her group entered the room, they came to a back door on the right. The back door was open, and there was a man inside arranging some tables, chairs and benches.

"I won't hide it from you. The gambling house has come here several times. The last time they came, they smashed the shop. They wanted me to use the shop to pay off the debt, but we didn't agree. My shop and yard can be sold for more than two taels of silver.

My son owed 80 taels, but they insisted that the amount was already 200 taels with interest. Thanks to our neighbors, Old Wei was an honest man and people around him were willing to help. They were driven away and a scholar was found to write a petition for us.

We only pay back the money and interest that should be paid. They can’t cheat, so you can buy this shop without worry. We will solve the problem and no one will bother you anymore.”

"Aunt Wei, it's good that you can think this way, but don't be so careless as to give all the money. After the shop is sold, you won't have a way to make money in the future, and you two have to support yourselves. Even if you go to live with your daughter, you can't expect her to support you, right?"

"Yes, I asked someone to inform my daughter. If she wasn't pregnant again, she would have come to pick us up in person.

When we have settled things here, we will sever ties with that rebellious son, buy a house in my daughter's village, buy two acres of land, and save some money so that we can live a stable old age."

Liu Caixia felt that the couple had a clear mind, but she didn't know how they raised such an unpromising son. It could also be that they only had one son and they spoiled him too much.

The man inside also came over at this time, his face was also very haggard. He probably couldn't get a good rest after encountering such a thing.

"It's all my fault that I indulged him too much in the past. I thought he was my only son, and his older sister was married and his family was well off. I didn't expect that I was too lenient with him in terms of money, and that he would develop such a character. Alas..."

As they were talking, they were awakened by the sound of rapid banging on the door outside.

The front door of the shop was closed, but a small door at the back was open, allowing light to come into the shop and allow for clear viewing, but it was not very bright and there were no lights on.

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound of knocking on the door.

Then several men shouted, "Open the door, open the door quickly... Don't think that you can just find someone to write a complaint. We have also found someone to write a complaint. You have to pay the money you owe. It's been half a month. If you don't pay back, we have the right to change the interest."

"Open the door quickly..."

"I know you're home..."

"If you don't open the door, I'm going to break it down..."

The man saw that the situation was not going to end well, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

The woman spoke first: "Sister, do you like this shop? If you like it, I will give you a price of 250 taels. Sign the contract and pay the money immediately. After we pay you back, we will take the deed to the government office for filing. They can't cause trouble to you, otherwise we will go to the government office and sue them."

Liu Caixia thought about it and felt that it was indeed a good deal to buy such a yard and such a large two-room shop at this price. She also felt that the couple was quite pitiful, so she agreed.

"Okay, Auntie, let's sign the deed right away. We are planning to buy the shop today, and we have enough banknotes. We can pay you the full amount right away."

"Thank you, big sister. You, the boss, go and deal with those people outside the door for a while. I'll take them to the backyard. Once the formalities are completed, they won't be able to do anything. Xiao Wang, please quickly write the contract for us and complete the formalities. Thank you."

"Aunt Wei, this is what I should do."
