Chapter 332 Shui Sheng Wants to Buy a House of His Own
After everyone had discussed it, Lin Qingchuan suggested that he, Shuisheng, and Wu Yu go to the brokerage to buy new tables and chairs so that they could open for business as soon as possible.
Shopkeeper Su said, “I know a shop that sells tables and chairs. Their products are made of good materials, are finely crafted, and are reasonably priced. This braised pig's trotters shop is a joint venture between us. When something happens, I should help everyone out. Let me lead you there.”
Everyone knows that Manager Su is a man of great importance and very busy, so no one dares to let him lead the way personally.
So Lin Qingchuan said, "Manager Su, you're very busy, why don't you tell us the location of that shop and we'll go there ourselves?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Su immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Qingchuan, you're being too polite. This braised pig's trotter shop is clearly a joint venture between us. I'm often not in this county, and you guys take care of everything in the shop. I haven't contributed anything, and I've even made money."
I already feel quite ashamed for taking advantage of everyone. Now that there's finally a chance to use my skills, I'm just showing you the way. It's not a difficult task. If you really don't let me lead you, how can I possibly take a share of the profits the shop makes in the future?"
Seeing that Manager Su insisted, Lin Qingchuan didn't say anything more. Since Manager Su wanted to lead everyone there, he would let him lead the way.
"Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I was just thinking that you're a very busy person and you've already worked hard to come back from elsewhere for today's matter. We all know how much you care about the pig's trotter shop and everyone, so please don't stand on ceremony with everyone. If you're really busy, you can't let such a small thing as leading the way cause you any delay."
Manager Su shook his head and said, "It's nothing else, it won't delay me. It's just that some things happened at home a few days ago, and I needed to go back to deal with them. Now that things are settled, I can stay in the county for quite a while, so please feel free to contact me if you need anything. The more people we have, the more connections we have, and the more help we can provide."
Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, when we are a group of people with one heart and one mind, we will definitely do a great job. Please believe me, it won't be long before we earn more money and become richer people."
Manager Su was thrilled. He suppressed his excitement and sighed, "What a wonderful group of people working together with one heart! If we all work together, things will definitely get better and better, and our business will surely grow bigger and bigger."
Shui Sheng scratched his head and said seriously, "After experiencing so many things, I've discovered a truth: when we encounter problems, we can't go wrong by listening to Xiao Tang's advice."
Xiao Tang said we'll soon earn more money and become richer people, and we'll definitely achieve that. Once we've saved enough money, I'll buy a home of our own in this county. And when I marry Cai'er, we'll have our own home."
Lin Qingchuan gave Shui Sheng a light punch, which landed on Shui Sheng's chest like a tickle, without hurting him at all.
He joked, "Hey, we're all living in this pig's trotter shop, isn't it great to have a lively atmosphere every day?"
Why are you in such a hurry to buy a small house? We have enough rooms here, so let's not waste that money for now.
If Manager Su really does ruin Qianxiulou in the future, their pig trotter shop will have to switch to running a restaurant.
Shui Sheng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Qingchun, don't misunderstand. It's not that I think living in the pig's trotter shop is bad, but I'm thinking that the old house in the village is so dilapidated. I don't even have my own house in this county. How can my family background be worthy of Cai'er?"
So I want to save enough money as soon as possible to buy a beautiful little house and marry Cai'er, so that I won't mistreat her.
Liu Cai'er blushed and slapped Shui Sheng on the back. She said shyly, "Why are you saying these things in front of everyone? Aren't you ashamed!"
Shui Sheng laughed and said, "I'm a grown man, what's there to be ashamed of? Besides, we're all family, everyone's eagerly waiting for us to get married."
This time, Liu Cai'er didn't refute her anymore, and Shui Sheng immediately saw hope, his eyes brightening considerably.
It seems he needs to hurry up and prepare the betrothal gifts!
Everyone wanted to bring Shui Sheng and Liu Cai'er together, and they all chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're all looking forward to you two getting married soon. Sister Cai'er, just say yes to Shui Sheng, and let our braised pig's trotter shop have a happy occasion too, so everyone can share in the joy."
With everyone openly trying to set them up, Liu Cai'er blushed even more. In fact, she had been feeling conflicted these days, unsure of how to face Shui Sheng.
She kept rejecting Shui Sheng, but deep down another voice told her that she should say yes. Shui Sheng was such a good man; once she missed him, she would never have another.
Pulling herself back to reality, Liu Cai'er said in a barely audible voice, "Let me think about it for two more days. I'll give Shui Sheng my answer in two days."
After saying that, she buried herself in cleaning the shop with two female workers, carrying basins of water to wipe and wash.
Liu Cai'er said she needed two days to think about it, so it wasn't appropriate for everyone to continue trying to force them to get together. However, since she had previously rejected Shui Sheng, the fact that she needed two days to think about it this time suggests that there's a good chance of a match.
Shui Sheng was unsure of himself, but managed a forced smile.
"Okay, think it over carefully. Whether it's two days, two hundred days, or two years, I'll wait for you."
Liu Cai'er was deeply moved and became even more efficient in her work.
Lin Xiaotang tugged at Uncle Shuisheng's sleeve, making him bend down, and whispered something in his ear.
"Uncle Shuisheng, don't worry, Auntie will definitely agree to you. She has been hurt before, and there is still a hurdle in her heart that she needs to overcome. Also, she is a few years older than you, so she is struggling with this. But everyone can see that Auntie likes you too."
Shui Sheng's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Is it really true?"
Lin Xiaotang nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"
Yes, Xiaotang has never lied to anyone. She is smart, kind, and sincere.
"Alright, alright, Uncle Shuisheng trusts you the most."
He was already planning to start buying betrothal gifts tomorrow and make proper preparations.
……
Manager Su led everyone to a shop that specializes in selling tables and chairs. Luckily, the shop had a batch of finished tables and chairs, about seven or eight sets, which should be enough to buy.
However, these seven or eight sets of tables and chairs are exceptionally well-made, with unique patterns carved on the sides of the tables, and they are not cheap.
Lin Qingchuan said, "Manager Su, aren't these sets a bit too expensive? We're a braised pig's trotters shop, isn't it a bit wasteful to buy such expensive tables and chairs?"
Shopkeeper Su did indeed feel that these sets were more expensive than ordinary tables and chairs, but there was no other choice at the moment.
He said, "The incident happened suddenly today. Many of the tables and chairs in the store were smashed. We have to open for business again tomorrow. To be honest, we don't have much time left to make purchases."
There aren't many shops selling tables and chairs in this county, and even fewer that sell ready-made ones. We're very lucky to have managed to buy some; usually, they need to be made to order.
