The happy little days of the Ye family

After eating and drinking, the group returned to Ye's house.

Mother Ye saw that everyone had eaten too much in the evening, so when she got home, she made a large pot of honey water for everyone to digest and relieve tiredness.

Ye Mu brought a bowl of honey water to Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing each with a slight smile on her face.

"Brother Shan and Boy Jing have really worked hard today."

Tangshan drank the sweet honey water and was in a good mood. "This is not a hard work. We, father and son, are just here to join in the fun."

Tang Xiaojing also smiled and said: "Yes, the two of us just went to join in the fun and didn't help much."

The family bought a shop and a house. Even if she didn't drink the honey water, Mrs. Ye felt very happy. The smile on her face never dropped after she came out of the yamen.

Mrs. Ye picked up a bowl of honey water and handed it to Ye Donglin, "Donglin, write a few notices for shop rentals and ask your father to post them at the shop in Tongluo Alley tomorrow."

Ye Donglin took the honey water with a smile, "The Chinese New Year is in a few days. Is anyone still renting a shop now? It has to be after the Chinese New Year, right?"

Mrs. Ye thought the same thing. The New Year was coming soon and every household was busy celebrating the New Year. Anyway, the shop was not in a hurry and would make plans after the New Year.

Both siblings Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin like to eat sweets. After drinking the honey water in their hands, the two gluttons asked Mother Ye for an extra bowl.

Ye Qingqing, who had drank a lot of honey water, leaned comfortably against Ye Mu, and the little girl said in a clear voice:

"We are all in the village. If someone wants to rent a shop, how can they find us? Should we entrust Yahang to rent it on our behalf?"

Mr. Ye has always believed in making a fortune in silence and wanted to keep a low profile, so he thought it would be a good idea to let Yahang rent the shop on his behalf privately.

Mr. Ye didn't want people in the village to know that his family bought a shop and a house in the town.

The people in the village used to have similar living standards, but the Ye family suddenly became rich and powerful, and there would definitely be many jealous people.

Mr. Ye was afraid of being targeted by some second-rate people who would come to steal money from their home. He was also afraid that some people with evil intentions would plot against his family for money.

Mr. Ye looked at Father Ye, "We don't know many people in the town, so we'd better entrust the shop to the dental shop to help rent it. This will save trouble, and we can just wait to collect the rent every month."

Father Ye: "I heard from Xiao Li that although the Luohe Yachang only sells houses and fields, because the Yachang has to support the people in the almshouse, the government specifically allows them to help with leasing privately."

"And the commission is lower than that at Yangjia Dental Store. The dental store is still open for business these two days. I will go to the dental store tomorrow and ask Xiao Li to help rent it."

Mrs. Ye thinks that Xiao Li is more honest and much better than the people at the Yang Family Dental Shop. After all, it is a dental shop under the jurisdiction of the government, so it is also more reliable.

Mr. Ye cleared his throat and warned, "None of you are allowed to tell anyone about the purchase of a shop and a house at home."

"When we make a fortune in silence, we keep a low profile. If anyone asks about how much money our family has or how much money we can make from our business, we can't tell anyone else."

Tang Xiaojing quickly expressed his stance: "Grandpa Ye, don't worry, dad and I are at loggerheads."

The three children in the family only know how much money the stall on the pier makes in a day, but they don't know how much money the family has. Mr. Ye is not worried.

Ye's mother is usually tight-lipped, and Mr. Ye is worried about Mrs. Ye and Father Ye.

The mother and son like to join in the fun, but Mr. Ye is worried that the two of them will be chatting happily and let something slip for a while, exposing their family background.

Mrs. Ye felt that Mr. Ye was talking about her, so she glared, pointed at the old man with her hands on her hips and cursed:

"You don't need to tell me that I have been a housekeeper for decades, but I have never made any mistakes."

Old Mrs. Ye is a gossip. She seldom talks about her family affairs. At most, she shows off to the old sisters in the village what the younger generations in the family respect.

Moreover, Mrs. Ye attaches great importance to her family's money. How could she disclose her family's money to outsiders?

Father Ye was also very dissatisfied. This was clearly aimed at him, "Old man, you look at me like this, you just don't believe me. I am so down-to-earth in my work, but you are hurting my heart too much."

Neither mother nor son were easy to mess with, and the old man's aura was a bit weaker, "It's better to be careful anyway."

"Same for you little ones, you must not tell others about your family affairs, not even your best brothers or sisters."

Ye Qingqing and the others nodded their heads like chickens pecking at each other. Although they were young, they knew the seriousness of the matter.

Ye Xilin was a little confused: "The price of the shop is not expensive and the location is good. Why don't the people who originally rented the shop buy the shop directly?"

Father Ye heard Xiao Li say, "This shop was originally bought by Mr. Li for his concubine. The concubine rented the shop to her distant cousin."

"After something happened to the Li family, this concubine's mother-in-law was afraid that they would be implicated. I heard that she went back to her hometown to hide, and this distant cousin also went back to her hometown together."

It was such a coincidence that as soon as Ye's father came to Yahang, he saw a middle-aged man with a plump figure and a big belly following Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was very happy to see Father Ye, "Master Ye, I just wanted to go to Taohua Village to find you, but I didn't expect you to just come to the door."

Xiao Li originally collected the money and took the man to Taohua Village to talk to Ye's father about selling the shop. Unexpectedly, Ye's father came to the door himself.

Xiao Li introduced to the middle-aged man behind him: "Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Ye who bought the shop in Tongluo Alley."

Xiao Li introduced to Father Ye again: "Master Ye, this is Boss Yang who originally rented the shop and opened a grocery store."

Xiao Li took the two of them back to the hall of Yaxing, and the little girl with Xiao Lidou poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Boss Ye, I'm a straightforward person, so I'll get right to the point. I've been running a grocery store in Tongluo Alley for several years."

"It's better to be experienced than to be new. I plan to continue to open a grocery store in Tongluo Alley. I wonder if Boss Ye can part with it and sell this store to me?"

"I won't let you suffer. You bought this house for 100 taels of silver, and I paid 110 taels of silver."

Father Ye was a little dissatisfied, "Boss Yang, you are being unkind. Although I bought this house for 100 taels of silver, it cost me more than 10 taels of silver to pay the house tax and sign the house deed. Not only did I work in vain. If there is a market, we still need to pour money into it.”

"115 Liang, if it doesn't work, I will have to find another shop."

Father Ye still refused. This shop is indeed good, otherwise Boss Yang would not have paid more to buy his shop. In the long run, it would be better to rent out the shop and collect rent every month.

"Boss Yang, our family originally planned to rent out this shop to collect rent. If you want to continue to open a grocery store, you can actually rent it."

Xiao Li had reminded him before that the Ye family planned to use this shop to collect rent, but he had already suffered a loss once.

The leased shop is not long-term. If he had bought the shop earlier, he would not have lost the business of these few months in vain.
