System: I open an inn in the desert

"What's going on? Didn't they say that the small supermarket had been transferred out?" Lin Yu hurried back and ran all the way to his own small supermarket without even putting down his bag. As soon as he arrived, he saw his parents sitting in the store.

The layout of the small supermarket was the same as I remembered, but now all the shelves were empty. The rice cooker and steamer at the door that originally sold tea eggs and buns had been wiped clean and placed aside, and there was no heat at all.

The old couple moved two stools to the doorway and sat facing each other. They didn't chat or play with their phones. They were both in a daze.

"Xiao Yu is back." Mother Lin was the first to come back to her senses after hearing her son's voice. She said, "The family that took over the house refused to sign the contract now and said they would come to decorate it a week before school starts. Your father and I have invited a few more people who are interested to come and take a look. We just sent them away."

Only then did Lin Yu realize that there was such a thing.

When they were still in the inn, my sister called and said that someone had come to see it several times and liked the location and wanted to continue opening a supermarket. Unexpectedly, the contract has not been signed yet.

They waited until a week before school started to sign the contract, which clearly showed that they didn't want to bear the off-season rent. They were also sure that there would be few customers after the students went on vacation, and it would not be easy to sell their own store.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had happened because the call was so urgent, but now it seems that everything is fine. He put down his bag, bought a few bottles of water from the store next door, handed them to his parents, watched them drink it, and then asked, "So how was the viewing today? Did you decide on anything?"

"Not yet. They said they would go back and think about it. Our store may not look big, but the location is really good. You can't tell now that school is not in session, but once school starts, we won't have to worry about customers. Usually, there are so many people who come to discuss the transfer. If it weren't for that driver this time..."

Mother Lin sounded helpless.

Lin Yu understood that people who do business are more or less superstitious. The driver had destroyed three shops on this street, including his small supermarket. The driver was still in a coma in the hospital and there was no compensation in sight.

Being one of the one-third chosen, it can be said that it is unlucky.

If you really think about it, those who rent a shop to do business have some concerns. Just in time, the school hasn't started yet, so they probably want to wait and see, and see if Lin's father and mother can bargain for the price if they see the situation is not right, so as to get a ready-made bargain.

The family of three had just chatted for a few words when a middle-aged woman with big curly hair came in and asked, "What are you talking about? I asked you to wait and ask Xiaoyu to come over. I've already prepared the meal but no one has come. Why are you asking me to come over and treat you?"

The second half of the sentence was directed to Lin's mother.

The visitor was their neighbor, Xu Ping, the owner of a daily necessities store on this street, who had a very good relationship with Lin's mother.

This time, they also made an appointment to have lunch at her house. Mother Lin forgot the time when she was talking to her son about the transfer of the supermarket. Now she quickly apologized: "A Ping, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so busy talking that I forgot. Let's go now. I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time..."

"That's more like it!" The middle-aged woman called Ah Ping was supported by Lin's mother's shoulders as she walked out. She turned back and called out to the father and son, "Mr. Lin, Xiaoyu, hurry up. I stewed a small native chicken today and specially added Xiaoyu's favorite mushrooms."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Ping!"

Lin Yu responded skillfully, with a cute smile that elders love the most, which instantly made Ah Ping smile and praised Lin's mother again and again: "Our Xiaoyu is so handsome. You will be very proud to take him out. Whether you have a partner or not..."

The topics of conversation among middle-aged female besties are always the same, either revolving around family or children. As the only child currently with them, Boss Lin has become the center of their conversation.

In order to avoid being pressured to get married, he slowed down his pace and walked side by side with his biological father, asking, "Is there anything else besides the store transfer that has you calling me back in such a hurry?" After chatting for a long time, he felt that his biological mother had not gotten to the point.

The matter of transferring the supermarket did not start in the past two days. It has been a long time since they went to the desert to find me. If they were in a hurry, they would have sold it at a low price long ago. It is still very easy to sell it at a low price at this location, and there is no need to delay it until now.

Father Lin looked at the two figures in front of him and whispered, "The reason why we can't sell our store is not only because of the price, but mainly because whenever someone comes to see the house, the driver's family secretly complains to them, saying how cruel we are..."

Lin Yu was surprised. What kind of operation was this?

They are the victims, okay?

The kind where disaster strikes while you are still at home!

The door of my small supermarket was closed in the middle of the night, but their family drove a truck and crashed it. Not only did they not pay compensation, but they even don't want to let me run my own business?

"Whether we transfer the supermarket or not has nothing to do with them. Isn't it said that the driver is still lying in the hospital? Is his family doing this to make us give up asking for compensation or something?"

Father Lin smiled bitterly: "We didn't understand it at first. After we found out, we bought some fruits and went to the hospital to see the old lady. The people there were so pitiful that they came to see her. The old lady cried and knelt, but she just wouldn't say what she wanted to do."

He said helplessly: "Later, his family came to the store several times, and I finally understood what they meant. They just didn't want our family to leave here. The other two of the three damaged stores are still open, and they are not in a hurry to ask for compensation because they have income. But once our family moved away, the lawyer appointed by your brother-in-law is very powerful, and they will handle the compensation liability impartially. They think..."

Lin Yu was so angry that he laughed: "They are so righteous that they owe money. Why are they dragging our family here? Not only can this debt be repaid in installments, but they also want to owe it for a lifetime?"

Isn't this just the intention of playing the victim and being a deadbeat?

Either withdraw the lawsuit or wait indefinitely until they have money before paying, that's awesome!

"We called you to come back just now because they are coming this afternoon. We really don't want to make any trouble, but we can't just keep dragging it on like this. Your sister will also come after work, so we wanted to get this matter settled today." Father Lin concluded before entering the house.

The lawyer hired by my sister and her husband was indeed reliable. Although the perpetrator was still in the hospital, he found evidence through various channels to prove that the truck driver was drunk while driving.

Moreover, several of the more than ten surveillance cameras on this street captured his face, clearly showing that the person in the cockpit was not mentally clear. After some investigation and evidence collection, the family's compensation may be enforced, so this was a stupid move.

After entering someone else's house, the father and son tacitly put aside the unpleasant topic and chatted with their old neighbors over dinner.
