I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Wen Yaoshi frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Wen Shutang.

"Of course we can give you this money. As long as the steward can take good care of us brothers and sisters in the future, there will definitely be benefits."

Wen Shutang took out a cloth bag and stuffed the bag containing silver into the man's hand.

The man shook the weight of the cloth bag in his hand and immediately smiled with satisfaction: "You, little lady, are more capable than your brother. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you in the future."

After saying this, the man turned around and left the shop.

Wen Yaoshi looked at the man's back and frowned in confusion.

"Why should I agree to him? You don't have to give me the hundred coins."

"Second brother, he is the one in charge of this area after all. If we make some arrangements now, it will be easier to negotiate with him if something happens in the future, right? It's okay. This hundred coins is equivalent to buying peace in the future." Wen Shutang explained patiently.

After hearing this, Wen Yaoshi finally understood: "So that's how it is."

"My little sister is right. We don't have any acquaintances in this town. In case something really happens in the future, we still have to make arrangements." Wen Ruizhou nodded in agreement.

"I didn't think of this. I just thought that the manager wanted to make some money for himself." Wen Yaoshi laughed.

"No matter what, we have to leave some way out when doing things." Wen Shutang followed his two brothers out of the shop and looked at the scenery outside the shop.

"Brother, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Just tell me, little sister. We will definitely help if we can." Wen Ruizhou said without thinking.

"I would like to ask you to make a plaque for me with a few big words on it." Wen Shutang touched his chin and looked up at the place where the plaque should be placed.

Since you are going to open a store, you must give it a catchy name.

"A plaque? Of course I can. I can write too. What do you want to write?" Wen Ruizhou said with a smile.

Wen Shutang looked at the shops around her, all of which were called shops, pavilions, and studios, but she just thought of a different name.

Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, and she looked up at Wen Ruizhou excitedly: "Just write 'a cup of milk tea'."

Wen Ruizhou was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face was replaced by confusion.

He had never heard of a store being named so strangely.

"Little sister, isn't this a little inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Everyone's names are the same. Maybe a unique name like mine will be more attractive." Wen Shutang said with a smile.

"It's decided. Just these four words will do. Please excuse me, big brother and second brother."

Without waiting for Wen Ruizhou to continue persuading him, Wen Shutang made the decision directly.

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Wen Ruizhou didn't know what to say, so he just nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I get it. It's not difficult to make a plaque. It can be made in five days. You can come to the store to see it then."

"Okay, brother. I'll pay you the price then." Wen Shutang nodded, looked into his eyes and said.

Wen Ruizhou quickly shook his head and refused: "No, it's just a plaque, it's not a big deal, no need to pay for it."

"That won't work. Let's put things one way and the other. You being my elder brother is one thing, and asking you to make a plaque is another." Wen Shutang said seriously.

Wen Ruizhou frowned and wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Wen Shutang sternly: "Okay, brother, if you refuse, I will go to work in other stores in town and won't look for you anymore."

After hearing what she said, Wen Ruizhou was shaken. When he thought that Wen Shutang might spend more money in other stores, he immediately stopped refusing.

"Okay, okay, I haven't promised you yet, but you just need to give me a piece of silver for the wood, which is no more than 500 coins. I will definitely not take more. There is no room for negotiation." Wen Ruizhou said with a straight face, and he looked like he would be angry if Wen Shutang refused him.

Seeing him like this, Wen Shutang didn't dare to really make Wen Ruizhou angry, so he could only nod and agree.

"Okay then, five hundred wen."

Wen Ruizhou was happy when she agreed: "Oh, good, that's right."

Watching how his elder brother and younger sister got along, Wen Yaoshi stood aside and laughed secretly.

These two people are really strange. Others quarrel over how to make more money, but they are different. One quarrels over how to make less money and the other quarrels over how to give more.

After renting the shop, Wen Shutang and his two brothers returned to the lumber shop.

"Then you guys go ahead and do your work, big brother. I'll go back first. I haven't told my husband about this yet." Wen Shutang smiled slyly.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. It will probably be ready when you come to the store in five days." Wen Ruizhou responded with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, big brother and second brother."

After saying goodbye to Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi, Wen Shutang left the lumber store. Fortunately, it was not far from her home and she arrived there in less than ten minutes on foot.

Wen Shutang walked into the yard and found Xiao Yizhuo exercising with Xiao Ye.

Noticing her coming back, Xiao Yizhuo looked up.

"came back."

"Well, I went around and decided on a shop. It's a little small, but I think it's just right." Wen Shutang nodded, walked to the table, poured himself a large glass of water and gulped down half of it.

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes flashed with doubt when he heard this: "Why do you want to rent a small shop? Why don't you choose a bigger one if you want to open a store?"

"The store I want to open is not an ordinary restaurant. It will not serve dine-in customers. Apart from some necessary tools and materials for making drinks, nothing else will be kept in the store," Wen Shutang explained.

Xiao Yizhuo immediately understood what she meant, but he had never seen such a store before.

"Isn't this just like being a street vendor? Why do we need to rent a shop?"

"Because making milk tea and fruit tea requires a lot of tea, milk and fresh fruits, it is more convenient to rent a small shop to store these things. If you just find a stall on the street to sell them, the effect may not be so good." Wen Shutang said with a smile.

Xiao Yizhuo finally understood Wen Shutang's meaning. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this would be a better way to retain customers.

"That's good. Having a fixed shop saves me from running around every day. Is the shop close to home? I'll go take a look tomorrow." Xiao Yizhuo said in a calm voice.

Wen Shutang nodded, sat on the stone bench and looked at Xiao Ye who was doing horse stance. "It's not far. It only takes me a quarter of an hour to walk back. It's at the end of the street, and next to it is the furniture store opened by my eldest and second brothers."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo was stunned: "My two uncles have also opened a shop in town? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
