The Song family suffered a great loss.
The advance payment for the order was refunded, but the money given away for the raffle could not be recovered because many people ran away after getting the money refunded.
This amount was a net loss of more than ten taels of silver.
Taking into account the initial investment, such as shop rent, gifts that had been eaten, etc., there was almost nothing left of the twenty taels that Song Miaomiao initially took back.
The four members of the Song family sat in the store, looking at the deserted shop with worried expressions.
"What should we do?" Song's mother was almost crying. "We rented this store for three months at a time. When we rented it, we were told that we couldn't return it. Now there is no business. Are we just going to sit and wait?"
After hearing this, Song He said:
"Let's sublet the shop. As long as we can find someone to take over, the landlord won't say anything."
"Even if the shop can be sublet, what about the lost money?" Song's mother asked again, "This is a full twenty taels!"
Speaking of the twenty taels, Song's mother turned around and asked Song Miaomiao:
"Who did you borrow the money from? And you haven't paid it back yet even though you agreed to pay it back by a certain time? Can you go and ask them to give you some time?"
"I borrowed it from Mr. Cui. His family is rich. He said he doesn't care about these things and told me to pay it back anytime." Song Miaomiao replied.
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to rush to pay back the money, otherwise their family would be in real trouble.
"Then let's do it this way." Song's father made the decision, "Sublet the shop, and we'll go back to the countryside, grow crops and sell grain, and pay back Mr. Cui."
"I won't accept this!" Song Miaomiao immediately rejected the idea. "Dad, I won't accept this! The dessert business failed this time. Don't we have any other options?"
Father Song slapped Song Miaomiao in the face and said angrily:
"You're not willing to accept this? How can you not accept this? It's because of your instigation that our family has fallen into this state. We can't do business and we're in debt!"
"It seems that I spoiled you too much in the past. How dare you go against my decision!"
"Dad, you hit me?" Song Miaomiao covered her face with tears.
She couldn't hear anything at the moment, and only thought about her father who had loved her since she was a child and slapped her.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Mother Song was shocked and protected her daughter. "Miaomiao is our family's little lucky girl, how could you hit her?"
"Little lucky baby? I think her luck has run out and she has become a bad baby, right?" Song's father sneered, "Don't you think about how much trouble she has caused in the past two months!"
First, he fell for no reason (actually, he was beaten by Shi Lidie), which was something he had never experienced since he was a child.
Then he made a mistake when he went to the Chen residence to help and was kicked out by the Chen family, and his brother was also ignored by the chef.
Later, she claimed that Shi Lidie was a concubine in the Chen Mansion, but was refuted in person, letting everyone in the village know that she, Song Miaomiao, was a gossipy and lying woman!
Now, it has caused huge losses to my family!
The Song family remained silent. From this perspective, it seemed that Song Miaomiao's good luck had indeed come to an end.
"It's Shi Lidie!" Song Miaomiao screamed.
"Who is Shi Lidie? What does she have to do with her?" Song's mother was puzzled.
"She sucked away my good luck." Song Miaomiao firmly believed, "Ever since she went crazy in the village, my luck has been getting worse and worse. It must be her!"
She still didn't dare tell her parents that she was caught and beaten in front of the grave.
But her guess didn't seem to be wrong.
Shi Lidie went crazy in the village, which was the beginning of the original owner's death and the host's time travel. Outsiders intervened and broke her luck.
Song Miaomiao may not be aware of the inside story, but she intuitively believes that Shi Lidie has affected her good luck with the koi.
Thinking of this, she stood up in an instant:
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will take care of this matter, just wait."
After saying this, Song Miaomiao ran out.
She ran to the next street, hid at the entrance of the alley, and looked at Shi Lidie's tavern. She saw that although the tavern was not crowded with customers, there were definitely a lot of them.
Everyone walked in happily and was sent out with smiles on their faces.
"Guest, if you like it, please have more..."
Shi Lidie's shouting reached Song Miaomiao's ears. She grabbed her skirt tightly, her fingertips turned white and her eyes were grim.
She was sure that Shi Lidie was against her.
In this case, if she wants to regain her good luck and change her family's current situation, there is only one way:
Solve Shi Lidie.
Thinking of this, she went to the south of the city and found Master Cui in a slightly quiet villa.
Mr. Cui, whose full name is Cui Yuwei, is the second son of Mr. Cui, a wealthy family in the town. He is handsome, well-educated, and has a graceful demeanor.
The Cui family was originally engaged in business, but because merchants had a low status, Mr. Cui trained the eldest son as the heir to the family property, and also trained the talented second son to study and take the imperial examinations.
Now, in order to provide the second son of the Cui family with a quiet environment to study, Mr. Cui bought a villa in the south of the city specifically for him to study.
Therefore, the second master Cui lived in the other courtyard.
Apart from him, the only people in the villa were his personal servant, two cleaning ladies and two kitchen maids.
Having fewer people means I can meet with Song Miaomiao privately without any scruples.
Cui Yuwei's servant Adong took Song Miaomiao to avoid where the old women were, walked around the corridor, and went directly to the study.
"Second Master, Miss Song is here."
After hearing this, Cui Yuwei quickly put down the book, pulled Song Miaomiao in with a smile on his face, closed the door, and then held her hand:
"Miao Miao, you're finally here. I've been missing you so much these days that I can't even concentrate on reading."
Song Miaomiao pushed his hand away a little awkwardly, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Cui Yuwei panicked and quickly held her face, anxiously caring for her, but saw the striking slap mark on her face:
"Who hit you? Who dares to do this to you? Tell me and I'll get it back for you!"
"My father beat me." Song Miaomiao cried, "My father beat me because he felt that I was not as good as Shi Lidie in business..."
"Who is Shi Lidie and why does your father compare you with others?" Cui Yuwei asked.
"She is an orphan from the same village as me. Both her parents are dead. She is two months younger than me. She opened a pub in the town and made a lot of money." Song Miaomiao replied.
She glanced at Cui Yuwei, pursed her lips, and said:
"Initially, I asked you to borrow money to start my business because I was inspired by her. I always thought that if she could succeed, then I would have the support of my parents, brother, and you, so I wouldn't be too bad."
"But I don't know what happened. No matter what I did, I couldn't beat her. Even my father thought I was useless and slapped me."
"Cui Lang, I did all this for you. I know that I am of low status and unworthy of you. I thought that maybe I could do something to make a living so that your parents would look up to me, but I didn't expect..."
