Not long after the three of them walked, they came across a small two-story shop not far from the inn. The shop sold groceries and had not yet closed. The poor state of its business made people feel desolate when they saw it.

When the boss saw the man with yellow teeth bringing people in, he immediately understood. This man also looked lifeless and didn't seem to have any vitality. Ru Yue looked around silently and had a plan in mind.

"Girl, this is the owner of the shop. His business is not doing well, so he wants to sell the shop and return to his hometown to retire." The man with yellow teeth introduced.

Ru Yue nodded slightly to the boss, as if to say hello, "This shop has a good location, why don't you want to run it anymore?"

"To be honest with you, young lady, this shop was left by our ancestors. It used to have good business, but I don't know how, it became like this after being in my hands for a few years." The lifeless boss said weakly, "Don't be fooled by the small front, the back is quite big. I'll take you to see it." As he said that, he walked towards the backyard.

Ru Yue looked at the boss and thought to herself, how could he run a business with this look as if his mother had died? Who wouldn't feel unlucky and stay away from him?

The backyard was indeed not small, with three main rooms and four side rooms on each side of the east and west. It was quite enough, but she didn't know if it was because of the boss's mood, but she just couldn't like it.

"What's the price of this shop?"

"If you're serious about buying, I'll sell it to you for 2,300 taels." He didn't know if the owner was in a hurry to leave or if something else was going on, but he always gave people the impression of being in a hurry. "You can ask around. You can't get a shop like this in this area for less than 2,800 taels."

The man with yellow teeth nodded slightly at Ru Yue but didn't say much. This cunning man might have already seen that she didn't care much about this place.

After walking around, Ru Yue said to the boss and the yellow-toothed man, "I've seen the shop, but I have to look at other shops for comparison. You can go ahead and do your work."

"Considering the location and conditions of this shop, two thousand three hundred taels is indeed a good deal, but I only saw it because it is close. I will take you to see it on the way. Miss, come with me to the next shop." The man with yellow teeth seemed to be revitalized.

After crossing two more blocks, we entered a special alley. Although it is called an alley, the width of the road and the shops on both sides are not much worse than the main street. The key point is that there are food stalls on both sides of the street, which is very lively.

After walking a short distance, they arrived in front of a two-story shop. The three doorfronts were very bright. The yellow-toothed man took out the key and opened the door. Although the things inside had been moved out, the floor and walls were still in good condition, at least 80% new. When Ru Yue saw this, she felt a surge of joy for no reason.

"This shop is quite special. The owner's son went out with someone to do business and never returned. He has been the only son for three generations and now he's nearly fifty with only this one child. He spent most of his life savings looking for his son, but now he has ended up in a miserable state. But he still refuses to accept this and wants to see his son alive or dead. So he plans to sell the shop and continue searching for his son."

Ru Yue went through the back door of the shop and arrived at the backyard. This made her even more satisfied. The yard was more than twice as big as she had seen before. It would be no problem to rebuild the wall, open the door, and build a small courtyard. There was even a back door through the three two-story main rooms. The side rooms on both sides were also two-story. If the first floor was used as a warehouse, the second floor would be perfect for living.

"The location of this shop is incomparable to the previous one. After all, that one is the main street of the city, but this one is an alley dedicated to selling food. There is also a well here, which is very convenient to use. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the provincial school is just two blocks away from the back door. It only takes a little over a quarter of an hour to walk there.

Ru Yue was quite satisfied with this place. "Brother, how much is this shop?"

"The boss is in a hurry to sell the shop and is looking for his son. He's asking for 2,500 taels. But since you're really serious about buying it, I'll be honest with you. This price is actually very reasonable. But since the boss is in a hurry, the price is negotiable."

Ru Yue followed the yellow-toothed man to visit the remaining shops. Perhaps she had taken a liking to the previous one and no one else caught her eye. She did not hide how much she liked the second shop and asked the yellow-toothed man to help her contact the owner, hoping to buy it if it was suitable.

As for the dental clinic that they had agreed to meet in the afternoon, Ru Yue still went to see it, but compared to that shop, it was really nothing to look at, so she gave up completely and simply waited for the yellow-toothed man to bring people to handle the paperwork.
