The real daughter has a good way to support her husband, and the small peasant girl has caused a sen

The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers and crossed them horizontally and vertically.

"Ten taels of silver a year!"

The shops I saw before were not as good as this one, and the location was also bad. They all cost more than ten taels of silver, and some even asked for a high rent of twenty taels a year. I can’t believe that such a good shop only costs ten taels of silver!

Su Xiaoxiao thought she had misheard and repeated it.

"Ten taels of silver?"

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper seemed to see Su Xiaoxiao's confusion and hurried to explain.

"Something happened to my hometown, so I had to go back in a hurry. I still had a year's rent left, so the rent was cheaper."

"Isn't the shopkeeper the landlord?"

“Yes, I’m a tenant too!”

"After that year, do I need to ask the landlord to renew the contract?"

"That's right, but the landlord is very nice. I will talk to him and ask him to continue renting it to you after a year!"

"Still the same price?"

"it should be OK!"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see the shopkeeper agree so readily.

Can tenants be the masters of their landlords?

The shopkeeper seems to be very familiar with the landlord!

Su Xiaoxiao always felt something was strange.

Although the shopkeeper is anxious to sublet the shop, he wouldn't just ask nothing!

He didn't even ask her basic information, such as what kind of business she wanted to do or how long she planned to run it.

He didn't even say anything to promote how good the shop was.

He looked calm and composed, as if he had already calculated that she would like this shop and rent it.

She felt that she should be cautious and not get carried away by excitement.

She thought for a moment and said, "Boss, let me go back and think about it. If I figure it out, I'll come tomorrow with the money and rent the shop directly. Is that okay with you?"

"No problem. It's such a big deal, so I really need to think it over carefully. I'll still be in the store tomorrow. If you want to rent this shop, just come and find me."

"it is good!"

Su Xiaoxiao left the shop and walked on the street pushing the cart, feeling uneasy.

She did not go home immediately, but wandered around the county town again.

She wanted to see if there were any shops available for rent.

But after walking around, she found nothing.

She was a little tired, so she parked the cart aside and sat on it to rest.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure come into her sight.

It was none other than the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop just now.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, looking a little anxious.

Out of curiosity, she followed secretly.

In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, she always followed behind the other party, keeping a safe distance.

Finally, she found that the shopkeeper had entered a large house.

Looking up at the plaque on the door, there were two big characters written on it: "Guo Mansion".

Isn’t this Grandpa Lan Ling’s house?

How did the shopkeeper get in here?

Could it be that the owner of that shop is the Guo family?

In order to find out the truth, she knocked on the door of the Guo family.

When the doorman heard Su Xiaoxiao's name, he immediately opened the door to greet her.

This was what Lan Ling had explained before. Su Xiaoxiao was a distinguished guest of the Guo Mansion and a good friend of Lan Ling. As long as Su Xiaoxiao came to the house, no matter which door she came in from, she must not be stopped, and she must be warmly received and brought to Lan Ling's yard.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the Guo Mansion smoothly. The Guo Mansion was very big. The doorman wanted to show Su Xiaoxiao the way, but was rejected by Su Xiaoxiao.

Because she saw the shopkeeper's figure disappearing around a corner not far away, she didn't have time to think about it and chased after him.

The doorman ran after her and asked, "May I show Miss Su the way?"

"No, you are busy with your business!"

The doorman stopped and stood there blankly, looking at Su Xiaoxiao's departing back and scratching his head.

Su Xiaoxiao was a distinguished guest at the Guo Mansion, and he dared not neglect her.

Since the other party wouldn't let him follow or lead the way, he had no choice but to obey and return to the door to continue on duty.

But he couldn't understand why Su Xiaoxiao was Miss Lan Ling's good friend. Shouldn't she have come to the Guo Mansion to look for Miss Lan Ling? Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, why did she look like she was going to pursue Shopkeeper Wu?

Can't figure it out!

I really can’t understand it!

Su Xiaoxiao followed Shopkeeper Wu all the way and came to a pavilion.

The one sitting in the pavilion waiting was Lan Ling.

Shopkeeper Wu stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Lan Ling.

"Miss, everything has been done according to your instructions. Miss Su should come to rent the shop tomorrow!"

"That's great! Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Wu. I'll let my grandfather find you a good place later!"

"I've followed the old master for many years, so it's my duty to serve the young lady. It's not hard at all! But I don't understand. If the young lady wants to help Miss Su, why not just say it directly? Why is she going through so much trouble?"

"You don't know, this sister has good character and isn't the type to take advantage of others. If I were to speak directly to her, I would definitely be rejected."

"Oh I got it!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in the rockery, heard the conversation between the two clearly.

Only then did she realize that such a good shop belonged to the Guo family, and that Lan Ling had specially asked Manager Wu to help her.

Lan Ling was really thoughtful, and Su Xiaoxiao was very touched.

After knowing the truth, Su Xiaoxiao walked out directly.

"Sister Ling'er, how long do you plan to keep lying to me?"

Lan Ling and Manager Wu were both surprised to see Su Xiaoxiao appear.

Lan Ling immediately stood up to greet him.

"Why is my sister here? Why didn't anyone announce my sister's arrival?"

"Don't blame me, Sister Ling'er. I didn't let them inform me."

Then, she told the whole story of how she followed Manager Wu to the Guo Mansion.

Lan Ling frowned and looked at Shopkeeper Wu with a blaming expression.

"Didn't you say it was okay? How did your sister find out?"

Shopkeeper Wu also felt very guilty. His acting skills were obviously very good, so how could he still mess things up?

"This, this, this...it's my poor acting skills that failed to deceive Miss Su!"

Seeing Shopkeeper Wu looking bewildered and serious, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Sister Ling'er, please don't blame Shopkeeper Wu. I can see that Shopkeeper Wu has put in a lot of effort!"

Lan Ling was also good-tempered. "Since my sister has spoken for you, I won't pursue the matter. You can go down now!"

"Thank you, Miss, and thank you, Miss Su!" Shopkeeper Wu bowed to the two of them and left respectfully.

Lan Ling held Su Xiaoxiao's hand and asked tentatively, "Sister, are you not angry with Ling'er?"

"How could it be? It's too late for me to thank you!"

"So, sister agreed to rent my shop?"

"I naturally don't want to miss out on such a great shop, but the price has to follow the market. You can't give it to me too cheaply!"

Lan Ling pouted angrily, "How can that be! My sister is my savior, I can't just not show any appreciation at all!"

"You've helped me a lot!"

"I feel like it's not enough, good sister, will you let me help you?"

Looking at Lan Ling acting coquettishly, Su Xiaoxiao really couldn't resist her.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, but I have a condition!"
