The matter of renting a shop was just as Mingxiu expected. The original owner was also in a hurry for money. Otherwise, given the location of their home, they could make a living by themselves, and the money they would transfer would definitely be more than renting a house.

Now that he can collect a year's rent in one go, he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates.

I happily negotiated with Mingxiu. If the payment is made annually, one month's rent will be waived for Mingxiu every year.

If they cancel the lease early, the remaining rent will not be refunded and will be regarded as liquidated damages.

This was within Mingxiu's mind, so she did not hesitate and directly signed a five-year contract with the other party, and paid eleven taels of silver in the first year in person.

At this point, their family has officially acquired a shop in the town, and Mingxiu can feel relieved.

At the same time, various things for the warm house wine have been prepared.

Before the banquet officially started, Ming's father called the village chief aside and explained his family's intentions to him.

"The business of Xianxianglou is a big deal, are you willing to give it up?" The village chief looked at Ming's father with some suspicion, but he was fine. His girl Mingxiu was not easy to mess with, especially if Ming's father wanted to please him.

Is this something you discussed with him without permission?

But this doesn't make sense, and even if Mingxiu finds out and disagrees, he and Ming's father have already agreed, so what can Mingxiu, a little girl, do in the movie?

Although the village chief was moved, he still felt a little uneasy.

The people in the village are not kind to the Ming family. Mingxiu is a tiger, and she will retaliate. Don't let her father tell her about this on purpose so as to dig a hole for him, right?

It has to be said that some people just like to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, and it does not matter whether Mingxiu can do such a thing. Even if she has the ability, she will not do this because of the village chief.

Without him, there is really no need.

But who would give up their own money-making business?

Ming's father smiled and said, "Although this is a business and we can make some money, my family has other things to do." He thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide the idea of ​​building a shop in the town from his family.

You can't hide things, the village will find out sooner or later.

So he didn't have much scruples and explained it directly to the village chief.

"...So my family really doesn't have any other energy to run the business of Xianxianglou. I can rest assured that I can leave it to you, and...most of them will give you face." Ming's father glanced at the folks coming and going outside.

them.

Some people feel that their family has benefited from it and are unwilling to give up this benefit so that everyone in the village can benefit.

Everyone felt that the Ming family had taken advantage of them, so they bossed them around. Although Ming's father didn't say anything, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

What's the matter, is it a bad thing for Mingxiu to bring the villagers together to make money?

What's more, there are people who go to town to set up stalls alone. Although most of them end up with the same fate as they did in the beginning, with their stalls being kicked off, few dare to go to the Yamen to report to the officials. Most of them suffer the consequences of being mute.

There were more and more vegetable sellers. Even though they could make money by collecting vegetables, it was only a small amount. Ming's father was initially reluctant to part with this business, but he gradually thought about it when he explained to the village chief.

Their family also had to find another way to make a living, so it would be better to make a good sale to the village and the village chief.

The village chief felt at ease. Even though Mingxiu was not easy to get along with, Ming's father still cared about the village. This was good.

"Since you are willing, there is no reason for me not to agree. Today is a good day for your family. I will go and talk to the people in the village soon and shut up those gossips."

In fact, the village chief was more or less jealous of the Ming family because of this, but no matter what he thought before, now that he sees Ming's father being so sensible, he can only have a favorable impression.

Many people came to the Ming family's warm house wine, and who wouldn't want to come if they had a meal? Although most of them gave a little something as a gift, it was nothing compared to the rich banquet, and they were just freeloaders.

After the village chief said that the Ming family had given up their business, many people looked at Ming's father in disbelief.

If it weren't for the fact that it's hard to keep an eye on an unmarried daughter, Mingxiu would be the one looking at her now.

How could they be willing to give up their business?!

"The Ming family understands the general situation and knows how to repay the village. If anyone who is ignorant in the future continues to act nonsense, I, the village chief, will not look good!"

The village chief looked like he was speaking righteously.

Since the matter was explained clearly in such a big way, the village chief naturally would not collect all the income into his own family. Instead, he said that all the money earned would be saved for the village public school, and when enough money was available, he would build a school for the village.

Children from families who work together can attend school for free!

As for those who want to go it alone and want to take advantage of letting their children go to school for free, the village chief is not so easy to fool.

No one thought there was anything wrong with what the village chief said. His prestige in the village was relatively strong.

The banquet was lively, and everyone was even more happy in their hearts.

Originally, there was only one scholar left in the village, Li Guang. If a school was built in the village, wouldn't their children be able to make a career?

I don’t expect to be able to get into the imperial examination like Li Guangcheng, and if I can recognize a few words, my future life will be easier.

After all, the people in the village are still honest, they just have some unavoidable bad qualities.

In the past, when the Ming family was easy to bully, everyone wanted to step on them. Now that their family has gradually gained their own abilities, even if few people are still willing to get closer to them, they will no longer bully them casually.

This is human nature. Mingxiu felt angry in the past, but now that he thinks about it, it's okay.

"Do you plan to live in the town in the future or will you still live here?"

Xie Zhan quietly stood beside her at some point.

"This house has just been built. It's a pity that it's empty. Naturally, I want to come back." Mingxiu didn't understand why Xie Zhan would ask this. She spent a lot of energy when building the house, and finally it was ready for people to live in.

Even if she has a business in the town, she still has to come back and live there.

Xie Zhan was noncommittal, "It would be unsafe if no one lives in the shops in town after they open."

This time is not like the future, where there is surveillance everywhere.

If a thief accidentally breaks into the house, as long as you do it carefully, you may not even be able to catch him!

Mingxiu doesn't seem to be such an imprudent person.

"What do you mean?"
