Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

Chapter 73 Good-looking little brother

After seeing off the last group of lunch customers, everyone in the Yun family collapsed on their stools exhausted, not even having the strength to move a finger.

Seeing how tired everyone was, Old Lady Yun offered to help make lunch. Since there was no leftover food from lunch, she cooked a large pot of noodles with the spicy hot pot broth and then placed bowl after bowl of noodles on the table.

"Come and eat noodles, and then we can have a good rest." Old Lady Yun first brought two bowls of noodles to the table, and then shouted to the few people who were lying on the table to rest.

Yun Tingshu smelled the fragrance and said to his brother and sister-in-law without hesitation, "I'm starving. I'll eat first." The others loved their younger brother very much, and they knew that Yun Tingshu was the most tired today because of running around, so they let him eat first.

Xiangdong followed Old Lady Yun into the kitchen and brought the remaining noodles to the table.

At 1:00 PM, the Yun family finally had lunch. As Old Lady Yun ate, she suddenly remembered the customer who had asked about the dinner market. Although she personally thought the dinner market was optional, it was the family's business after all, so she should still listen to everyone's opinions.

So she asked, "Xiangdong, you've worked so hard today. You're the only one running around in the kitchen." Xiangdong quickly replied, "It's not hard!" A satisfied smile filled her face, because being busy in the kitchen was a pleasure for her, and being able to do what she liked made her not feel tired at all.

Seeing Xiangdong's positive attitude, Old Lady Yun nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I want to tell you something. Today a customer asked us whether our store will be open in the evening, so I want to hear your thoughts and see whether we should open this night market." After that, she carefully observed the reactions of others.

The first person to speak was Yun Tingshu: "Mom, if we really open a night market, your son's legs will probably be crippled." As he spoke, he showed a painful expression.

Seeing this, Old Lady Yun couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Haven't you been clamoring to do business? How come you can't hold on on the first day?"

Hearing his mother's reproach, Yun Tingshu shook his head helplessly: "Alas, who knew our business was so prosperous..."

"Xiangdong, what do you think?" Old Lady Yun looked at her second daughter-in-law.

"Mom, I think we can open this night market." Xiangdong said.

"Where is the second son?" Old Lady Yun asked her second son again.

"Mom, I think we can open it, but if we open the night market like this, wouldn't it be too late for us to go back to the village?" Yun Tingchang said hesitantly.

This is indeed a problem. Although people can live in the backyard of the store, there are only three rooms, which is indeed not enough for these people to live in.

"Mom, should we rent a small courtyard for us to live in?" Hua Niang suggested.

In fact, Hua Niang said this for her own selfish reasons. She wanted to bring Tiantian and Pipi up as well. It wasn't that she didn't trust their father to take care of the children, but she wanted to feel more at ease knowing that they were under her own supervision.

"That's good." Old Lady Yun also missed Tiantian. If she rented a yard, she could bring Tiantian with her, which would be much more convenient.

After making up her mind, Old Lady Yun sent a few people home first, and she rented a small courtyard close to the store so that she could stay there during the night market.

"Oh, Auntie is here again. Are you dissatisfied with the shop you rented?" Zhang Yazi looked at Old Lady Yun coming to the shop again and felt a little puzzled. He hurriedly went up to her and asked.

Old Lady Yun quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "We're very satisfied with that shop there! I came here today because I want to rent another small courtyard. It would be best if it's closer to the shop so that it will be more convenient for us to come and go in the future."

Zhang Yazi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "Oh my, what a coincidence! I just happen to have a small courtyard that meets your requirements, not far from the store. How about I take you to see it now?"

Old Lady Yun nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

So Zhang Yazi brought Old Lady Yun to the courtyard. As he had said, the courtyard was very close to the restaurant and could be reached in just a short walk.

Old Lady Yun looked around the yard carefully and found that although it was not large, it was kept clean and tidy. There were four main rooms, a kitchen, and a well in the yard, which was enough to meet the living needs of their family.

Old Lady Yun thought to herself, "This courtyard is not bad. It's a good size and the environment is quiet. It's suitable for living." Thinking of this, she turned to Zhang Yazi and asked, "How much silver does this courtyard cost per month?"

Zhang Yazi smiled and replied, "This courtyard is very affordable, only one or two ounces of silver a month."

After hearing this, Old Lady Yun thought the price was reasonable, so she nodded and said, "Okay, this one will be it."

Zhang Yazi quickly replied, "Okay." The two of them finished everything. Old Lady Yun put the key together with the store key, and then carefully put it in her arms, as if it were some rare treasure. Then she went home with peace of mind.

"Mom, have you rented the yard?" Hua Niang saw Old Lady Yun coming back, so she walked up to her quickly and asked.

"I rented it. It's very close to the shop." Old Lady Yun answered with a smile on her face, her heart full of joy.

Hua Niang was very happy to hear that they had rented the yard, but she was still a little worried about whether she could take Tiantian to town. After all, this matter still depended on her mother's opinion.

At dinner that evening, Old Lady Yun told Old Man Yun everything about renting the yard and planning to open a night market. Afterward, she looked at Old Man Yun expectantly and whispered, "Come with us to town. It will be more convenient for you to look after the two children."

Old Man Yun frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant. He had long been accustomed to the leisurely pace of life in the village and had little interest in the bustling town. He shook his head and rejected Old Lady Yun's request.

Seeing Old Man Yun's refusal so bluntly, Old Lady Yun felt a pang of disappointment. She glared at him fiercely and never spoke to him again. A heavy atmosphere permeated the dinner table, and no one dared to speak to break the awkward silence.

As for Yun Tingluo, he decided to stay in the village. He thought that with so many people in his family and so much land, if everyone moved to town, wouldn't all the land be abandoned? That would be a shame, so he decided to stay in the village. In the end, the decision was to have Old Man Yun and Yun Tingluo stay in the village, while everyone else would move to town.

"This is today's silver, count it for yourself." Old Lady Yun took out all the silver she had earned today and put it on the table.

Looking at the bulging cloth bag, the Yun family members all smiled.

"Mother, it's one or two or three hundred coins in total."

"There's so much!" Hua Niang exclaimed in shock. She really didn't expect that it was only the first day and she was almost able to earn back the rent.

After counting the money, Old Lady Yun carefully put it away. She was very happy to see the excitement of her family.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Tomorrow morning, you, the fourth brother, go and tell the person who delivers the ingredients to send twice as much, otherwise there will be no vegetables at the dinner market." Although Old Lady Yun had already told Yun Tingshu, she was afraid that he would forget, so she said it to him again.

"Mom, I remember you can rest assured."

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should go to bed and pack up your daily necessities. We will take the ox cart to town early in the morning."

"Great!" Tiantian and Pippi both made happy noises.

Before dawn the next day, except for two children, everyone else in the Yun family had already gotten up early and was busy.

Amidst a flurry of activity, everyone finally boarded the oxcart bound for town. Arriving at the courtyard, Yun Tingshu, following his mother's instructions yesterday, greeted the food delivery person and hurried home to help pack up.

After everything was settled, everyone went to the store and started preparing lunch.

"Tiantian, Pippi, you two just play in the backyard, okay?" Old Lady Yun said to Tiantian and Pippi while squatting.

"Okay." Tiantian and Pipi nodded obediently.

Seeing that the brother and sister were behaving well, Old Lady Yun felt relieved and went to the front yard to help everyone with the work.

"Sister, toys." As soon as Old Lady Yun left, Pippi said to his sister.

Tiantian wanted to find a suitable toy in the space, but she couldn't find one after searching for a long time. Suddenly, she saw Xiaobai, and she had an idea and carried Xiaobai out of the space.

Pippi's eyes lit up when he saw a puppy suddenly appear in his sister's arms: "My sister is so awesome!"

"Hehe." Tiantian touched her little head and said embarrassedly.

Xiaoxiao in the space was depressed. Why couldn't she leave the space so that she could play with the little master and the little master's brother?

Pippi obediently stayed in the backyard and played with Xiaobai. Tiantian ran to the front yard while her brother was not paying attention. She wanted to see how her family's business was doing, and if it was not doing well, she could give some advice.

The room was packed with people, not a single empty table, and the place was bustling with activity. As Tiantian entered, she saw her mother and uncle helping customers take their orders, while her grandmother was sitting at the front desk paying the bill. She figured her second uncle and aunt were probably cooking in the kitchen.

As she thought about it, she looked around curiously. Suddenly, her eyes stopped at a little boy who was sitting quietly in the corner with a faint smile on his face.
