Chapter 145
The young man looked a little reluctant, "Miss Zhong, this is rented to you. You cannot damage the things inside at will, unless you buy it."
Zhong Ruyi also knew that her question was unnecessary, but the kitchen was too small and there was nothing she could do. She had to cook, and if the kitchen was too small, she wouldn't be able to move around and it would be inconvenient to do anything.
If this kitchen could be connected to the one next door, it would be much more convenient and would also make it easier to cook and serve food.
She didn't say anything else, and went around to the three empty rooms to look, "Is this where people live?"
"Yes, it was used to store sundries before. It can be used as a residence after it is cleaned up."
Zhong Ruyi nodded. Although there were three empty rooms, they were not very large and were slightly smaller than the room she slept in Zhongji.
After looking at the entire store, Zhong Ruyi was most dissatisfied with the location of the kitchen. She thought everything else was fine.
When she was leaving, the young man asked her if she really wanted to rent. Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "Of course, young man, you have looked at so many stores with me, and this one is the one I am most satisfied with. It's just that the kitchen I told you about is a little small. I'll look for another place. I'm really sorry to bother you."
Zhong Ruyi stuffed him a piece of silver and said with a smile, "Please go back and ask Brother Yang Er about the kitchen. If you can get through, I will rent it right away."
The young man clenched the silver in his hand and said seriously, "Okay, Miss Zhong, I will definitely go back and ask for you and try my best to help you meet this request."
"Okay, thank you."
Two days after she returned, Zhong Ruyi received a message from Brother Yang, saying that she could get through, but she had to pay a fee for the damage to the wall.
Brother Yang smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Zhong, you don't have to build this wall. You can build another stove next door and treat it as two kitchens. You don't have to pay extra money."
Zhong Ruyi had also thought about this, but it was still more convenient to open up the channel.
The money for the damaged wall was equivalent to one month's rent, which was fifteen taels. Zhong Ruyi's heart was bleeding.
The money hasn't even warmed up in your pocket, but you have to give it away.
Brother Yang took out two deeds, and after both parties signed and sealed them, the teahouse was successfully rented by Zhong Ruyi.
She signed a five-year contract and needed to pay one year's rent as a deposit and normal rent every month. If she decides not to continue renting after five years, the deposit will be returned.
Of course, this is based on the assumption that there is no major damage to the store during the lease period. If there is damage, and they verify that the damage to the store is indeed serious, part of the deposit will be deducted.
Zhong Ruyi was holding the paper in her hand with an excited look on her face. Beside her were Zhong Laoer, Zhong Laosan and Chen Dongzhi.
When her family found out that she was going to rent a store, Zhong's father was worried that she wouldn't have enough money, so he asked his youngest son to bring the money to the town.
Chen Dongzhi also learned about this from Zhong Laosan the day before, so he took out his own small treasury and followed Zhong Laosan.
However, what made him feel disappointed was that Zhong Ruyi confiscated his silver and said that the gesture was enough.
Mr. Zhong secretly gave his private money to his youngest son, intending to have him give it privately to his daughter. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhong would blatantly take it out in front of his mother.
"Little sister, this is what my father asked me to give you. He was afraid that you didn't have enough money. This is what my eldest brother gave you. This is what I gave you."
Mrs. Zhong had a sullen look on her face, but when she heard that her son was returning money to her daughter, she suddenly looked better, looking very conflicted.
Zhong Laosan took out three cloth bags in total. The one with more cloth was given by Zhong's father, and it was estimated that there were about eight or nine taels of silver in it.
The eldest brother also gave six or seven taels, while Zhong Laosan got just five taels. He touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Little sister, it's all because of your incompetence. When you have money in the future, I will definitely buy you a shop!"
These five taels of silver were the result of his savings over many years. Some was given by his mother, and some was saved from his work.
The second brother also gave twenty taels, but Zhong Ruyi confiscated it and said, "Second brother, my second sister-in-law will give birth in a few months. You should save the money. When the time comes, you don't have to ask mother for money."
Zhong Ruyi refused to accept it, and Zhong Laoer pursed his lips and said, "Little sister, do you only have big brother and little brother in your heart? Don't you have me as your brother in your heart?"
I didn't expect that just because I didn't accept the money from my second brother, he would have such wild thoughts. Zhong Ruyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Special situations require special treatment. Second brother, you are the best brother in my heart."
Zhong Laosan, who was standing by, was not happy. She quickly added, "Of course, my eldest brother and third brother are my best brothers! My parents are also the best parents!"
Seeing everyone smiling, Zhong Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The four of them walked back, and Zhong Laosan said, "Little sister, after renting this shop, don't we need to hire people? How about I come over and help you?"
Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "Third brother, it would be great if you could come and help. Then we can try to make this store a big success!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over and almost hit her, but was blocked by Chen Dongzhi beside her.
The figure fell heavily to the ground, with several people chasing after him.
Coming out of Brother Yang's place, the dental clinic is next door and it's quite noisy inside.
Lying on the ground was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked terrified. He raised his head and looked at the people standing in front of him and started shouting, "Help! Help me!"
When one of the young women looked at him, he immediately felt hopeful. "I didn't volunteer to be sold here. Please help me!"
Zhong Ruyi frowned and looked at the little boy on the ground. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by the person who caught up with him.
"I'm sorry, this guy ran away from our dental office. We're taking him back now."
Having said that, he grabbed the boy and left.
Despair flashed across the boy's eyes, then quickly dimmed. He thought he could run away.
Several people grabbed him and took him into the dental clinic, and smiled at Zhong Ruyi and the others.
"Third brother, let's go in and take a look." Zhong Ruyi said.
Now that the store has been rented, the next thing to consider is hiring people.
Since the dental office is right here, why not go in and see if there is anyone suitable to recruit?
As soon as I entered the yard of the dental clinic, I saw a lot of people gathered inside.
Just now, the little boy was lying on the ground being punched and kicked by several people. The people from the dental shop did not stop when they saw someone coming, and they kept moving with their hands and feet.
There were two little girls crying and gasping for breath. They wanted to step forward to stop these people, but they were held back and could not move. They could only watch the little boy being beaten.
Seeing that the little boy was almost dead from being beaten, Zhong Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What's wrong with this guy?"
The receptionist at the brokerage shop came up to me and said with a smile, "Girl, this guy was sold to us. We paid him, but he still wanted to run away. So we caught him and gave him a beating, and he behaved himself."
