Chapter 223: Encountered a thief?
Liu Caixia followed the guy from the pawn shop and walked around, and spent another 180 taels to buy a shop on the main street that was only about ten square meters. The shop was really small, and it was a storefront facing the street at the intersection of the central street.
Next to it is a large inn, on the left is a clothing shop, and in the middle there is an empty inverted triangle space.
The shape of the shop is not very good and the area is not very large, so the business that can be done is really limited.
Liu Caixia thought the location was really good. The shop was facing a big restaurant. Across the street to the south was the government office. It could be said that all the rich and powerful people in the county were located in this area.
Even though the store was small and the prices were so high, she still bought it.
The guys at the dental shop were all stunned by Liu Caixia's operation. After all, this shop had been open for so many years and it was always rented out, and there were basically no people who really wanted to buy it.
This shop has done a lot of business over and over, but basically after it became big and strong, it moved to other places. Or the business was not suitable and it couldn't even make back the rent. The loss-making business didn't last long and the shop was returned.
Now that it’s sold, the guy is so happy.
The commission from these two orders today is equivalent to his monthly salary for half a year.
You have to know that their monthly salary is not high, and their main income still comes from commissions. If they can make a deal like this in a month, they have to burn incense and pray to Buddha.
I completed two orders that day, and it went so smoothly.
I completed the formalities happily.
Liu Caixia said goodbye to Aunt Wei and the waiter at the dental shop, and she felt very happy.
She was indeed quite satisfied with these two shops.
Even though I have almost spent all the money I earned today and the money I saved previously.
"Well, we have our own shops now."
"Big sister, let's go back. Pack your luggage today. We old couple can only stay here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."
Liu Caixia comforted Aunt Wei: "It's okay, Aunt, your good days are still ahead, live a good life with this money, an unfilial son is really not as good as a filial daughter.
In fact, it is always better to rely on yourself than on your children. As long as you have money, are you afraid that no one will take care of you in your old age?
So, it is better to keep money in your own hands. "
"Sister, you are right. I have come to terms with it now."
Despite this, tears welled up in her eyes. The house and shop where she had lived all her life were no longer hers.
And how can I not be sad and upset that my son, whom I usually spoil, has become like this?
But life must go on, wipe away your tears, tomorrow is a new day.
Otherwise, why do people say that there are clear-headed people everywhere?
After seeing so many brainless parents who care only about their sons, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable when I see parents like this.
Liu Caixia said goodbye to Aunt Wei and stood at the gate of the government office, sighing: "We are really lucky to have found these two places today. After Aunt Wei and the others leave early tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning we can go into the city and clean up the rooms in the back. We can arrange for a few people to live in them, some to live in the village, and a few to live here. If anything is needed, we can buy it and send it over."
"When the houses in the village are finished and other people are almost there, we can start planning for next year's work."
"I don't know how my father is doing. Maybe if I come earlier, I can meet him at the government office. Let's go and meet him at the city gate first."
"I don't know what day it is today. There are too many people in the county government office. I wanted to ask them, but seeing so many people coming and going, I was too embarrassed to ask. I left after finishing my business."
"Let's go."
Liu Caixia was walking in front holding Liu Xiaolu's hand. Not long after they came out of the yamen, a short man who looked like a child in tattered clothes suddenly bumped into them from the opposite corner of the street.
Then she felt a small hand touching her waist. People in ancient times would sew bags around their waists, or embroider a bag inside their sleeves, or put it in their arms.
However, Liu Caixia's clothes did not have such things. The outer clothes were used to cover up, and the important things were kept in the inner pockets.
As the weather gets colder, we all wear down vests with pockets and zippers inside.
If you put things in there, no one will be able to steal them.
Liu Caixia still grabbed the little hand and stared at the little thing with burning eyes: "What are you doing?"
Unconsciously, her hands began to exert strength, although Liu Caixia did not have the ability of strength.
But that strength is not something that ordinary people can match, not to mention that the child looks very thin and is actually even thinner.
Liu Caixia could clearly feel the slenderness and fragility of his wrist when she held his hand.
"Oh... it hurts... ah..." The little guy screamed in pain, his voice revealing his childishness. From his little face when he raised his head, he could tell that he was a boy of about ten years old.
Most of the beggars these days are little girls, and little boys are not usually thrown away or sold.
Although Liu Caixia felt very sorry for the little one, she did not show any mercy and began to educate him: "You are so naughty at such a young age, and I'm breaking your hand, you deserve it!"
The little one burst into tears all of a sudden. It was unknown whether he was frightened by Liu Caixia's cold tone or was trying to gain sympathy: "Auntie, I'm sorry, this is the first time I stole something, I won't dare to do it again... Wuuuu... please let me go..."
Liu Caixia looked at the little beggars across the street, who were all walking in groups of three or four. It was a bit strange that a tiny guy would steal from her. After all, there were quite a few of them in their group, and anyone with a little bit of common sense would not choose such a person to steal from.
"Where is your family?"
Although this boy is wearing tattered clothes, his face is still clean. He looks cleaner than other little beggars. Although his clothes are tattered, they are not that dirty.
It doesn't look like clothes that haven't been washed for a long time. It must belong to a family member.
"Aunt, I'm sorry... wuwuwu... I'm also very hungry. Grandma and my sister are at home, and I haven't eaten for a long time. Wuwuwu..."
Little Bit did not lie. It was indeed the first time he stole something. If it weren't for the fact that his family was desperate, they would go to the dock to move some things. Although they were not very strong, they could move a bag at a time and earn a few copper coins with some effort, which was enough to barely feed their family.
Today, he went to move goods as usual, but there were too few goods today. He didn't know if it was because the New Year's goods had been almost sold out, so there were fewer and fewer cargo ships and he had no more money left.
I was walking on the street in a daze, wandering outside the restaurants, wondering if I could pick up some leftovers that the restaurants didn't want and take them back.
