My Sweet and Charming Wife

C134 – Renovation

The herb store owner decided to pass on the shop to his relatives since he didn’t believe the girl could earn 1,000 yuan in a month to buy it from him. He thought she was merely making empty promises.

Even when he initially agreed to sell it to her for 1,000 yuan, he doubted her ability to make that much money in a month. However, upon seeing the 1,000 yuan in her hands, he was left a bit speechless.

If Gu Yuehuan couldn’t have transferred the money a week ago, it would have been understandable, considering the expenses she had incurred from the beginning. Fortunately, the boss waited for a week, and she managed to come up with the exact amount.

Now that she had the money, the promised 1,000 yuan was ready to be returned to her. “Alright, now we can proceed with the contract. Hand over the shop and the house deed. Both of you need to sign a new contract with a proper stamp!”

Although she lacked experience in buying a house in her past life, she had seen enough news to know that signing black and white documents was essential to ensure there were no issues. This way, the shop would truly be hers forever.

Gu Yuehuan had no reason to not earn 1,000 yuan as promised, so she readily agreed and handed over the house deed. She also signed a new contract, formalizing it with a black and white stamp signature.

Nowadays, property certificates were not common. Instead, a house deed was issued when buying or owning a property.

The house deed became the talk of the town, the property deed everyone spoke about.

The boss handed over $1,000, stamped the deed, and hurriedly caught the train, leaving promptly.

Before leaving, he gave her the key, making her the proud owner of the shop. She was overjoyed and remained in a state of excitement for a long time. As she gazed at the medium-sized shop, an indescribable feeling overwhelmed her, and she felt like crying. She had never imagined such a day would come.

She had acquired this shop with her own abilities!

Nevertheless, her funds were now depleted. After purchasing such a substantial shop all at once, she had little money left for renovations. She planned to renovate it like her other beverage stores and even hire workers for the job.

There was no need to rush; the shop had been bought, and renovations could proceed at a steady pace. It was anticipated that it would take some time before the shop could open for business.

Once she settled the shop’s affairs, she would consider setting up a stall and hiring new workers for it as well.

Since Jiang Lu wasn’t available, Gu Yuehuan had to hire new workers.

The workload at the stall had become overwhelming, and she couldn’t manage it alone. So, she put up a notice offering the same salary that was initially given to Jiang Lu, hoping to attract potential employees.

However, despite the morning passing by, there were no applicants, but plenty of men came over to enjoy their meals.

Gu Yuehuan couldn’t figure out what was happening. When she first set up the stall, there weren’t many customers. But recently, there seemed to be a surge of men frequenting the place. Moreover, their furtive gazes made her uncomfortable.

She understood that it wasn’t appropriate to wear a skirt during work hours since she had to get up and squat down frequently. So, she had opted for conservative long pants. Despite covering up, the men’s creepy stares persisted.

Nevertheless, they were still customers, and she didn’t want to create a scene, so she tried not to pay too much attention.

At the back, Jiang Yan arrived for a meal.

He was an unemployed drifter, more of a street thug. He survived by engaging in fights, extortion, and collecting protection fees. Today, he came to this stall because everyone said the food was delicious and fresh.

Curiosity led him here. As he sat down, he noticed that the lady boss looked quite fresh and pretty.
