Chapter 1620 - 1615: The Restaurant Can Be Sold

Huang Mo adjusted his emotions, changed his clothes, and went to the courtyard to find Mu Shuangshuang as if nothing had happened.

"You’re here just in time, hurry up and get on the carriage!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Are you driving the carriage? Let me do it!" Huang Mo said.

"No! I’ll do it, I’m already used to it!" Mu Shuangshuang said with a smile.

Huang Mo wanted to say something else, but Mu Shuangshuang simply told the truth, "This horse has been with me all the way from the county to the northwest and back.

It’s already accustomed to me driving the carriage. If someone else does it, it might get upset!"

"Do horses really get upset?" Huang Mo suddenly became more curious.

"Yeah, even animals have feelings and know who feeds them every day, who’s kind to them, and who they should be affectionate with!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Huang Mo believed in those words!

He had already developed feelings for the three dairy goats. If Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t come over personally, he really wouldn’t want to part with them.

Following Mu Shuangshuang’s instructions, Huang Mo got on the carriage, riding together with the three dairy goats and Yu Liulang.

Mu Shuangshuang drove the carriage to Er Gui Village and asked Yu Liulang to go to her home, use another carriage from the family, and take the goats and himself to Yu Family Village.

As for herself, she continued driving the carriage toward the town.

Halfway there, Huang Mo stuck his head out of the carriage.

"Shuangshuang, are you tired? Do you want me to take over?"

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "No need, I’m not tired! By the way, I want to ask you about someone!"

"Who?"

"Mr. Ma from Ma Family Village! I don’t know if you know him, but I know that your village isn’t too far from Ma Family Village! If..."

"I know, I know!" Huang Mo said excitedly.

"Really? Can you tell me what kind of person Mr. Ma is?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

She was worried about finding news about Mr. Ma.

Unexpectedly, there was someone ready to help her!

Just like searching high and low only to find it effortlessly!

"Mr. Ma is the richest man in Ma Family Village! He has a lot of money and lots of lands. My brother and I both worked as temporary laborers at his place.

But as for his character, I can only say he’s quite stingy. My brother and I worked three months of temporary labor at his place, but he only paid for one month!

We went to argue, and then he had us beaten in the back yard! But I heard he seems to have left Ma Family Village and moved elsewhere!"

Talking about that sad incident made Huang Mo’s expression look unpleasant.

Indeed, to be cheated out of wages and then beaten for no reason, no one would be happy!

"Do you know where he’s settled now?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Where?"

"In our village, my grandparents’ old house has now been bought by him!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Ah, that menace has actually gone to your village. Has he... did he bully you?" Huang Mo asked.

After asking, he even held his breath, looking at Mu Shuangshuang nervously.

"We had a conflict, but I didn’t suffer! It’s just that he’s a bit helpless as a person, and I don’t know if there’s any permanent solution!"

Mu Shuangshuang rarely encountered someone as stubborn as Ma the Landlord!

"By the way, do you know what Ma the Landlord is afraid of?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"He seems to be afraid of snakes! And... he also seems to have a strong belief in gods and spirits! Anything he does at his home, he always has his wife pray and worship first!

If his wife said it’s okay, he would do it; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t!" Huang Mo said.

After hearing Huang Mo’s words, Mu Shuangshuang’s face suddenly showed a faint smile.

Afraid of snakes, frightened by gods and spirits, and listens to his wife.

Well, Ma the Landlord will be easy to handle!

The only trouble is the house!

Mu Shuangshuang definitely doesn’t want to spend money on thirty taels of silver to buy it.

Not to mention, Mu Dade’s downfall is inevitable!

Mu Dade’s downfall implies that Old Mu Family members wouldn’t be able to live in the county.

Unable to live in the county, they’d have to return to Er Gui Village.

If she buys the house, the Old Mu Family members will definitely want to live there.

She doesn’t want them to take advantage for free, but then there are so many mouths to feed!

It’s better to let the house stay in Ma the Landlord’s possession.

Plus, now everyone in the village believes that the house was sold by her grandparents!

Even if they make a fuss, it won’t help!

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang was thinking about how to make Ma the Landlord leave, without him casually selling the house.

Unconsciously, she drove the carriage to the town.

At this time, it was just around noon!

Mu Shuangshuang stopped the carriage and asked Huang Mo, "Third Brother Huang, would you like to have lunch at my restaurant?"

Huang Mo was about to nod but then remembered what his brother had said, so he shook his head and refused.

"No...no need, I have other things to do!"

Mu Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment before nodding.

So, Mu Shuangshuang did not continue to invite Huang Mo to her restaurant.

She drove the carriage alone towards the direction of the restaurant.

Since it was lunchtime, the restaurant was busy from top to bottom.

Mu Shuangshuang said nothing and directly went to the kitchen to help.

Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, cooking—Mu Shuangshuang did all sorts of jobs.

Once most of the guests in the hall had left, Mu Shuangshuang finally got some free time.

Yu Dahai came over personally to find her, asking why she hadn’t come in the morning, wondering if something had happened.

Mu Shuangshuang explained to Yu Dahai that she had gone to her uncle’s house yesterday and visited Huang Bita’s house today.

Yu Dahai listened with sympathy.

"Seems like you’re not having it any easier than us!" Yu Dahai said with a smile.

"Right! I still have to leave early this afternoon to visit my sixth uncle!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Go ahead, do whatever you need to do! Actually, just wait a couple more days, and when people’s enthusiasm for Chengfeng Restaurant dies down, we’ll be able to relax a bit more!"

"Yes! Just wait a couple more days!"

When the restaurant business settles down, she needs to visit the county once to see when this Mu Dade will finally collapse!

Keeping him like a ticking time bomb in the county is absolutely not a good thing!

"Shuangshuang, are we really planning to reopen the old restaurant now closed? Several shopkeepers have already asked if I’m selling it!

And the price they’ve offered is quite high, much higher than when you initially bought it!

According to them, the quicker the restaurant is sold, the higher the price!"

After all, there are still quite a few guests who know it’s the old Chengfeng Restaurant, so it might attract quite a number of them.

"I originally planned to open a dessert or tea shop there, but now we don’t have the time or energy, so it definitely won’t happen!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Shuangshuang, I actually think the restaurant could be sold! We now have our own restaurant, and frankly speaking, just this restaurant alone attracts more than half the town’s customers!

If we open elsewhere in town, it won’t be much benefit to us, and it might even divert our customers."
