Old Lady Yun clutched the heavy banknote tightly in her hand, her face filled with uncontrollable joy. This was a full one hundred taels of silver!

She and her son Yun Tingchang carefully carried the Ganoderma lucidum into the pharmacy and successfully sold it to the highly respected Doctor Liu.

With great joy in her heart, Old Lady Yun planned to use the money to buy some delicious snacks as a reward for her well-behaved and lovely granddaughter Tiantian.

So, she stepped into a pastry shop filled with fragrance, carefully selected a few of Tiantian’s favorite pastries, and walked out satisfied.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him - it turned out to be the kind-hearted Zhang Yazi who was rushing towards this side.

As soon as he saw Old Lady Yun, he immediately took two steps at a time and walked towards her, saying breathlessly, "Aunt, you really made me look for you for a long time! There is something I need to tell you quickly." As he said that, he pulled Old Lady Yun and Yun Tingchang up without saying anything and walked towards the tea stall not far away.

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Yazi picked up the teacup and took a few gulps, which calmed his rapid breathing a little.

Then he said, "Aunt, the situation is this: the landlord of the shop we rented is planning to move to the county town and is preparing to sell it. Although it hasn't been sold yet, I think it's only a matter of time. I came to see you today specifically to ask if you have any idea of ​​buying the shop outright?"

After saying this, Zhang Yazi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Old Lady Yun with eyes full of anticipation.

When Old Lady Yun heard that the landlord was planning to sell the shop, she couldn't help but grumble inwardly: I had just paid three full months' rent, and now only a little over a month had passed, how could he be so impatient to sell the shop?

How could such a thing be possible? However, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "So, if I want to buy this shop, how much does it cost?"

Zhang Yazi seemed to have anticipated this and replied calmly, "They're in urgent need of money, so they're selling the shop quite cheaply. Only two hundred taels of silver will do."

"Two hundred taels is still a bargain?" Old Lady Yun asked in disbelief. To her, the sum was indeed substantial.

Seeing Old Lady Yun's doubts, the landlord quickly explained, "Aunt, you may not understand the market very well. A shop like this, located in a prime location and of moderate size, would normally fetch over three hundred taels. But because they're so eager to sell, they're willing to offer it for a low price of two hundred taels. They also own another house; if you buy it as well, the total will be three hundred taels."

Hearing this, Old Lady Yun's heart moved, but she was a little hesitant. After all, three hundred taels of silver was no small sum. So she hesitated for a moment and said, "As for this matter... let me think it over carefully."

"Okay, auntie, please give me an answer as soon as possible. If you are sure you don't need it, then I can list the shop for sale to someone else." The person who spoke said in a firm tone.

Everyone picked up their teacups, took a sip, then put them down and left. They each walked in different directions, their figures gradually moving further away until they disappeared from sight.

As soon as Mrs. Yun stepped into the restaurant, she couldn't wait to tell everyone in the store about this.

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but show surprise. You know, they have only lived in this shop for more than a month. If they don't buy it now, they will definitely have to spend a lot of time and energy to find a new shop and move there.

"Mom, if our family really wants to buy it, do we have enough money?" Hua Niang has never cared about money, so naturally she doesn't know how much silver is saved at home, so she asked Old Lady Yun with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hehehe... the money is enough to deal with it. But Hua Niang, do you think I should buy it?" Old Lady Yun smiled and looked at her daughter-in-law gently.

"Well... In my opinion, it's better to buy it. After all, no one can predict what the next landlord's temper will be like. Instead of taking a chance at that time, it's better to buy it now to avoid a lot of trouble in the future." Hua Niang answered seriously after a little thought.

After hearing what Hua Niang said, Old Lady Yun couldn't help but agree. She thought to herself: If I rely solely on renting a shop to make a living, I'll be constantly dependent on the landlord. If I were to face a similar situation again—selling the shop after just one month's rent—I'd be facing the pain of moving again. The thought of this made her brow furrow in worry.

At this time, Yun Tingshu suggested to Old Lady Yun, "Mom, why don't you just buy this shop? The price is quite reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yun turned to look at her second son, Yun Tingchang, and asked, "Second son, what do you think about this?"

Yun Tingchang quickly responded, "Mother, what Zhang Yazi said is true. Even if we bought this house for three hundred taels, it wouldn't be a loss, let alone two hundred taels!"

After a brief moment of thought, Old Lady Yun decisively decided, "If that's the case, I'll go take a look now. If the house is suitable, I'll buy it."

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They had never expected that their family had already accumulated a full three hundred taels of silver.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that doing business is the shortcut to getting rich!

However, they didn't realize that they didn't actually have the full three hundred taels of silver at the beginning. But today, after the successful sale of the Ganoderma lucidum, they had exactly made up that amount. Perhaps this was a subtle arrangement made by the heavens!

Just as Old Lady Yun was about to leave the house to look for the trafficker, she was spotted by the clever and lovely Tiantian. Tiantian and Xia Yao followed without hesitation and left the house together.

When Zhang Yazi saw Old Lady Yun coming to visit, he immediately knew that the deal was done. With a smile on his face, he warmly welcomed Old Lady Yun into his house.

"Oh, Tiantian is here again!" Zhang Yazi's eyes fell on the delicate little girl who was being held by Old Lady Yun. He couldn't help but smile and took the initiative to greet Tiantian.

"Hello Uncle Zhang, Tiantian is here to see you~" Tiantian was also well-behaved and sensible, and responded to Zhang Yazi politely.

"Aunt, it seems that you have thought about it carefully?" Zhang Yazi asked expectantly.

"Yes, I want to go and see that house first, is that okay?" Old Lady Yun asked straight to the point.

"Of course it's no problem, but..." Zhang Yazi paused and then explained, "The landlord hasn't moved out all of his belongings yet."

"It's okay." Old Lady Yun waved her hand and said.

Since Old Lady Yun didn't seem to mind at all, Zhang Yazi confidently picked up the key, strode to the front, and acted as the guide.

The house was not far from the Yun Family Restaurant, but compared to the current rented house, it was indeed a little remote.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of the house. They saw a beautifully decorated carriage parked there. Apparently, they had arrived just in time, as the landlord was moving the last batch of items.

"Mrs. Shen, have you emptied out everything here?" Zhang Yazi asked Mrs. Shen with a smile on his face.

"Yes, today is the final stage of the work." Mrs. Shen nodded, her eyes falling on the group of people behind Zhang Yazi. She asked curiously, "Who are these people?"

"They all came to see the house." Zhang Yazi explained quickly.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then you can take a look around. I'll leave after I'm done packing." Mrs. Shen responded with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhang Yazi was very excited after getting permission and was about to lead everyone into the house.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen suddenly noticed Tiantian in the crowd. Her eyes softened instantly, as if the whole world was illuminated by this lovely little girl.

Unable to restrain herself, Mrs. Shen's face lit up with a warm and friendly smile, and she whispered to Tiantian softly, "Little friend, what's your name?"

Hearing someone talking to her, Tiantian blinked her big watery eyes and replied in a baby voice, "My name is Tiantian~"

"Tiantian, does your family want to buy this house?"

"Yes, both the house and the shop~"

"Then let's settle it this way." Old Lady Yun said to Zhang Yazi generously.

Zhang Zi was also very happy to help out, and soon the freshly-issued house deed was delivered to Old Lady Yun.

Old Lady Yun looked at it carefully and after confirming that the name of the house was Tiantian, she carefully folded it up and put it in her arms.

"Zhang Yazi, I'm sorry. We won't renew the lease on the house we're renting after this month."

"Of course. If you need help with moving, you can call me."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Old Lady Yun thanked Zhang Yazi again. This business dealing made Old Lady Yun feel that Zhang Yazi was a very honest person and someone she could make close friends with.

"Grandma, is there a room for me in the new house?" Tiantian really wanted to have a room of her own so that she wouldn't have to enter the space every night.

"Tiantian, do you want to live alone?" Old Lady Yun asked Tiantian.

Tiantang nodded: "Tiantian is already a big kid."

Looking at the older child, Old Lady Yun laughed out loud: "Okay, older children naturally have their own rooms." The thing this house has the most is rooms, and when the time comes, she will prepare a room for her granddaughter herself.

Seeing that her grandma agreed to her request, Tiantian happily held her grandma's hand and swung around.

"Did Mom buy it?"

"Yes. I bought it. After work in the evening, I will take you to see the house." Old Lady Yun said to her son and daughter-in-law with a smile.

Tiantian couldn't wait to share the news with her uncle, but she didn't expect that her uncle had already replied. Tiantian was so angry that she said to him, "Bad uncle, I will never be friends with him again."

"A-choo." Yun Tingqing, who was sitting on the ox cart, rubbed his nose unconsciously and wrapped his clothes tightly. The weather was getting colder.
