Looking at the money in her hand, Su Zhizhi rarely did not argue with Li. Anyway, they didn't bring anything back this time, so the group came and left in a hurry.

But when Li passed by them on the way out, before she could say anything sarcastic, Su Zhizhi said with a smile, "Second aunt, I hope you enjoy your stay here."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi quickened her pace before Li could react.

The group returned to Laiyue Tower. Mrs. Meng sighed, "We just went back a short time ago, and now we're back again. It's really..."

Before Meng could finish her words, the door was pushed open with great force.

Su Zhizhi was also startled. Just as she was about to turn around and scold him, she met Su Peizhi's figure and his panicked gaze.

Everyone was stunned and quickly pulled Su Peizhi to sit down. Su Zhizhi was the first to ask, "Peizhi, shouldn't you be in the academy at this time? Why are you back? Did something happen in the academy?"

Meng's heart and eyes were also filled with worry.

Su Peizhi seemed to have run back, and he was out of breath. He rested for a while before he caught his breath.

"Mother, sister, did something happen in Laiyue Tower?" Su Peizhi asked the first question, and Su Zhizhi and others were stunned.

Then she comforted Su Peizhi with a look of both laughter and tears, "Where did you hear these rumors? Laiyue Tower is fine, isn't it? What happened?"

Su Peizhi, however, was full of disbelief. "Sister, please stop framing me. I've heard that everyone in the academy said that Laiyue Tower is going to go bankrupt. Sister, I have money. I haven't spent much of what you gave me before."

As he said that, Su Peizhi was about to give money to Su Zhizhi, but was quickly stopped by Su Zhizhi.

Seeing Su Peizhi's panic, Su Zhizhi immediately wanted to tease him, so she said, "No need, but your second uncle and second aunt haven't had children for so many years. They want you to be their stepson. Are you willing to go?"

Su Peizhi's expression immediately turned into disdain after hearing this, and he answered without hesitation, "I don't want to be their stepson. I have a mother, a sister, and a brother-in-law. Why would I want to be their stepson? Even if Laiyue Tower goes bankrupt and we have no money, our family can still continue to work hard to make money!"

Su Peizhi said in a very firm tone.

Su Zhizhi felt very relieved when she heard Su Peizhi's answer. She touched Su Peizhi's head lovingly and said, "Not bad, not bad. You have grown up now."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi quickly asked, "Then why did you come back so hastily instead of going to school today?"

After hearing this, Su Peizhi quickly explained, "I came back specifically to resolve the issue at your restaurant."

Su Zhizhi found it incredibly funny when she heard this, and asked, "What can you do? Tell me about it."

"Zhang Jiayuan's father, County Magistrate Zhang, heard about what happened to our family recently. He specially cleaned up an empty building near the government office and wanted to tidy it up for us. He said that if we don't mind that it has been abandoned for a long time, we can continue to use the building as a restaurant." Su Peizhi said quickly.

Su Zhizhi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked Su Peizhi, "Are you telling the truth?"

Su Peizhi nodded heavily upon hearing this, and said seriously, "Sis, when have I ever lied to you before, let alone something this big."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was very excited, and all the problems in front of them were solved.

The next day.

With the help of County Magistrate Zhang, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin moved to a new place and reopened their business. Moreover, Lai Yue Tower's food source was guaranteed to a certain extent. Su Zhizhi was very satisfied to see this.

Moreover, the location here is also very good, and there are many more customers than the previous place. In this way, Su Zhizhi made a lot of money after opening for a week.

After much thought, Su Zhizhi felt that they must thank County Magistrate Zhang. Without County Magistrate Zhang's help, their Lai Yue Tower would not have been able to open so quickly, so she told Xie Chengjin her idea.

"Chengjin, I think we need to personally go and thank Magistrate Zhang for his help."

Xie Chengjin nodded and agreed without hesitation. "Okay, I think so too. How about this! I'll go buy something and bring it to him."

Su Zhizhi shook her head upon hearing that, then smiled meaningfully and said, "County Magistrate Zhang may not like the gifts we give him. Why don't we give him half of the money our restaurant earned this week? He will definitely be satisfied with this gift." Su Zhizhi said with a solemn look on her face.

Xie Chengjin thought for a moment and nodded, "That's perfect. We don't have to go through so much trouble to figure out what the county magistrate likes."

In this way, the two of them came to the county magistrate's mansion with a box full of silver bills.

County magistrate's office.

"Sir, there are two people outside. They claim to be Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin from Laiyue Tower. They said they want to see you." The housekeeper spoke cautiously.

County Magistrate Zhang was slightly stunned after hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "Let them in."

"As you wish, sir." The butler said and retreated.

After a while, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin, led by the housekeeper, appeared in front of County Magistrate Zhang.

"We are humble commoners and women, greeting the County Magistrate." Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin hurriedly saluted County Magistrate Zhang as soon as they met.

"Get up. I wonder why you two came to see me today? Have you encountered some troublesome problems that you cannot solve?" County Magistrate Zhang said straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi quickly shook her head and explained, "No, we've moved to a new place at Laiyue Tower and everything is fine. We came here to thank you for your help, sir. Otherwise, Laiyue Tower wouldn't be welcoming guests so soon. These are our gifts, sir, please accept them."

Su Zhizhi emphasized.

After saying that, Xie Chengjin handed the box full of silver to County Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang was very excited after seeing the box full of silver, but he did not show it. On the surface, he pretended to be very calm and said, "Okay! Since you are so kind, I won't be polite with you. I will accept it reluctantly."

Seeing County Magistrate Zhang nod, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin were very happy.

"Thank you, sir. The purpose of my coming here today has been achieved. You may leave first without disturbing me." Su Zhizhi said hurriedly when she saw that her purpose for today had been achieved. The Meng family in Laiyue Tower was still waiting for them to help with the fight, so they couldn't stay here for too long.
