In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi stood by the fence on the second floor, looking at the bustling crowd below, and was a little surprised.

Fortunately, the situation was still under control. The original waiters in the restaurant were greeting the customers in an orderly manner. Although they were all busy, everyone had a smile on their face. Although it was tiring, it was worth it.

The day's business ended quickly, and after seeing off the last customer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief the moment the door closed. They were all exhausted after the day, and Xie Chengjin was also running around the entire restaurant.

Now they could finally take a break, but Mrs. Meng started to get busy. She was clattering away on the abacus behind the counter. Not long after, Mrs. Meng looked at the numbers on the account book in front of her and gasped.

Su Zhizhi noticed Meng's actions and leaned over to check the string of numbers, which stimulated Su Zhizhi's vision and nerves. A hint of fanaticism flashed in her eyes.

Then she feigned composure, cleared her throat, and said, "Everyone, our hard work has paid off. Today's revenue is almost as much as the restaurant earned in the previous three days!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then ecstatic. They were busy talking and couldn't believe what they said. This was an achievement they had never dared to imagine before.

After the guys had left, Su Zhizhi and the others prepared to wash up and rest.

However, just as Su Zhizhi finished washing up, Xie Chengjin came over. He knocked on the door of the room and then pushed it open and walked in.

"Did I disturb your rest?" Xie Chengjin felt a little guilty when he saw Su Zhizhi, who looked tired.

Su Zhizhi waved her hand casually and said, "It's okay. What's the urgent matter that brought you to see me?"

Xie Chengjin then said seriously, "There is something. You have seen today's business situation. Our restaurant is still very popular, but the lobby on the first floor is obviously not enough."

"What's more, if you want to take the restaurant to the next level, you still need to separate some rooms. The private rooms and compartments in the restaurant are not enough now. Moreover, the decoration of the restaurant is a bit old, and renovations need to be put on the agenda."

After hearing what Xie Chengjin said, Su Zhizhi also realized the urgency of the matter and began to think seriously about it.

Xie Chengjin continued, "Besides, we also need a proper place to rest. It doesn't have to be big, but at least it should be comfortable. If we rent a house outside as a resting place, that wouldn't be a bad idea."

"It's just that with our current income, we can't afford it. So the most cost-effective way is to separate the rest rooms in the restaurant. That way, if anything happens, we can solve it immediately, right?"

Su Zhizhi sighed and said, "That's right, I really hadn't considered this before. Your idea is good. Let's do it this way. I'll go find the carpenter tomorrow."

Xie Chengjin smiled and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. You've been tired all day, so get some rest."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin left Su Zhizhi's room, leaving Su Zhizhi alone to continue thinking.

Su Zhizhi acted quickly. The next day, she left home early and told Xie Chengjin and others to take good care of the restaurant while she went out to look for a suitable carpenter.

Su Zhizhi was very lucky. After asking a few people, she went straight to the carpenter, paid a deposit, and briefly stated her request. The carpenter readily agreed.

When the business was over and Su Zhizhi came to investigate with the carpenter, even Xie Chengjin was impressed by Su Zhizhi's ability to act.

With the money in hand, the carpenter worked extremely quickly. In just three days, he had quickly separated out a space for Su Zhizhi's family to rest, more than enough for each person.

Su Zhizhi was very satisfied, and the others had no objections. After seeing the carpenter off, Meng discussed with Su Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, now that we have a place to stay here, we don't have much to stay in the village."

"Mother thought that we might as well move all our things here, so that we don't have to look at those people's faces in the village every day. Mother has just taken a look. After we clean up properly, we can put those things away."

Su Zhizhi was naturally delighted to see that Meng had brought up the matter first. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she was afraid that Meng would be reluctant to part with the village's things.

Since Mrs. Meng had no objection, Su Zhizhi returned to the village with Xie Chengjin.

They went straight back home and began to pack up the remaining things in the house. Because the space in the carriage was limited, Su Zhizhi only picked out some important things to take away, and the unimportant things were left behind.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin came and left in a hurry, making quite a noise, thus attracting the attention of many people, including Su Zhonghuai and Li.

Su Zhizhi was completely unaware of this. She brought the things back to the restaurant and had Meng count them, but she didn't expect that one thing was left behind.

"Zhizhi, my sewing tools are still in the village. What should I do?" Meng was almost crying in anxiety. That thing was a precious item to her, and she was very careful even when using it.

Seeing how anxious Meng was, Su Zhizhi quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Xie Chengjin and I will go back tomorrow to take another look. It won't be lost."

Meng had no other choice but to agree.

The next day, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin returned to the village. However, Su Zhizhi was surprised to find that their house had been occupied just one night after they moved out.

When Su Zhizhi opened the door, the yard was already a mess. Perhaps hearing the noise, the people in the house came out cursing.

The moment Su Zhizhi's eyes met the other person's, fire seemed to burst out of her eyes.

Su Zhizhi suppressed her anger and questioned, "What are Second Uncle and Second Aunt doing? Turning my house upside down is inappropriate."

Mrs. Li looked impatient: "Why are you here? This is where I live now. Your things are getting in my way."

Su Zhizhi took a quick glance and found that this was almost all their things in the house. He was in a hurry yesterday and didn't take much away, so there were still some things missing in the yard.

After a closer look, I found that they were all valuable.

"Second Aunt, what you did is not very fair. Why are there fewer things here, and they are all valuable? Since you said you live here, why don't you compensate me according to the price?" Su Zhizhi stood up and said with her arms folded.
