209 How Could He Take This Lying Down?!
“I’ve already gone through these shops before they were recommended to you!”
Facing Lin Suisui’s doubts, Lu Ze replied very nonchalantly. As if he was worried that Lin Suisui would be dissatisfied with his actions, Lu Ze added, “We just arrived in Cloud Mountain City and are unfamiliar with the place. I’m just worried that the people sent by the brokerage will be unsafe.
“Because I was checking the people, I took a look at the shop to learn about the situation.”
“Then I’ll listen to you and choose this!” To Lu Ze’s surprise, Lin Suisui wasn’t angry at his interference. Instead, she accepted his suggestion very calmly.
Seeing Lu Ze staring at her, Lin Suisui thought for a moment and came back to her senses. She couldn’t help but smile as she said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted me to learn to adapt to the fact that you’re my husband?! I’m adapting now!
!!
It’s obvious that you’re better at this than me and have more consideration than me. Why should I go against you?! Wouldn’t that be looking for trouble?!”
Hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Lu Ze finally let go of his worries. He stood up with a smile and pulled Lin Suisui to the dining table for dinner.
Because they already had a goal, the next day, Lin Suisui and Yuan Niang didn’t run around blindly when they followed the broker. They went straight to the three-story shop that Lu Ze and Yuan Niang had chosen. It was located at the bustling central intersection. It faced the street and was very spacious.
The shop was very grand, so it naturally cost a lot.
Yuan Niang bargained a few times before they finally agreed to this deal for 11,000 taels.
Because the owner of the shop was waiting to use the money, when he heard that Lin Suisui could pay immediately, the other party didn’t hesitate and cooperated to settle the procedures. In the afternoon, Lin Suisui had already successfully obtained the title deed and house deed.
“From the looks of it, these tens of thousands of taels of silver actually aren’t that much!” Thinking of the eleven thousand taels of silver that she had just bought from the shop, Lin Suisui touched the contract in her hand and couldn’t help but lament, “Fortunately, we’re not in a hurry to open the shop. During this period of time, we can think about how to decorate this medical center.”
Yuan Niang smiled and nodded. Then, the two of them rode back in the ox cart.
Since the shop had been decided, regarding the medical center, there was nothing to worry about for the time being. Lin Suisui began to discuss the arrangements for the new year’s goods.
The maidservants who had been bought previously had already begun to take over the matters in their residence under Mrs. Song’s guidance.
The garden at the back had to be tidied, the house had to be cleaned, and a few roofs, doors, and windows in the side courtyard had to be repaired.
Fortunately, with Mrs. Song around, although things were complicated, she had made very thorough arrangements. At least in Lin Suisui’s eyes, it could be said that the residence was changing every day.
Yes, the residence was getting better and better!
In the end, the arrangements to buy New Year goods for the residence were handed over to Mrs. Song, who was best at it.
Lin Suisui, who had settled down, had nothing else to do for the time being, so she began to discuss the arrangements in the medical center with Yuan Niang.
However, she didn’t expect that in just a few days, trouble arose.
Actually, even Lu Ze didn’t expect that buying a suitable shop would cause trouble for his family.
Just as Lu Ze had previously introduced to Lin Suisui, the location of this shop was really good. Moreover, the price was actually not expensive. However, there weren’t many people who could take out so much silver in one go, so Lin Suisui and the others had an advantage and were able to buy this shop.
Originally, this kind of transaction was voluntarily, so after the transaction was completed, everything was settled!
However, who would have thought that just before Lin Suisui and the others made their move, there were other buyers who took a fancy to this shop? However, at that time, they didn’t have enough money and couldn’t buy it!
At this moment, they finally gathered enough money, but they received news that this shop had already changed hands!
If this buyer was an ordinary person, he would at most sigh with regret when he found out about this news. He wouldn’t be able to do anything. However, the buyer who wanted to buy it this time was Ma Xiuzhu, the son of Gao Xuwei’s sworn brother, Ma Tianyou.
In Cloud Mountain City, Ma Xiuzhu was used to doing whatever he wanted.
He originally wanted to buy this shop and synthesize it with the cloth shop beside it to expand business, but his plan was intercepted!
How could he tolerate this?!
They immediately went to the brokerage and beat up the person in charge of this transaction. Then, they dragged this person to lead the way and rushed all the way to Lin Suisui’s door, shouting for them to come out and talk!
“He said that he wants us to sell that shop to him for 8,000 taels of silver!” After hearing Mr. Zhu’s reply, Yuan Niang returned with a frown and reported to Lin Suisui, “Ma Tianyou’s youngest son has always been doted on by the Ma family!
His father was in charge of the horse ranch outside the pass now. He had always been fearless in Cloud Mountain City!
“He probably thinks that since we’re new here, he might as well use his power to suppress us!”
“Tell Mr. Zhu that our family head hasn’t returned yet. If they have anything to say, it won’t be too late to wait for our family head to return!
I really can’t make such a big decision on my own!
It’s useless no matter how much of a ruckus they cause outside!”
When Lin Suisui heard Yuan Niang’s words, she had no intention of going out to argue with them anymore. Since it involved Gao Xuwei’s sworn brother, she would wait for Lu Ze to come back and let him do whatever he wanted!
Yuan Niang went out to pass the message. When she returned, she was already smiling. Before Lin Suisui could ask, she replied, “Master came back and sent that group of people away with just a few words!”
Lin Suisui nodded gently. Although she looked relieved, she wasn’t completely at ease. She felt that this matter wouldn’t be resolved so easily.
As expected, the peace only lasted for two days. On the third day, when Lin Suisui and Yuan Niang went to the shop to check the layout, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.”
“You outsiders, I’ve shown you guys enough respect, but you didn’t cherish it at all!”
It was still snowing outside, but Ma Xiuzhu was wearing a cloak and waving a fan in his hand as he walked towards where they were standing.
