Darlin% You’re not a local so you can’t rent my shop. That’s such a pity,” Alice said regretfully.
“Why? What kind of procedures are there to rent or buy a shop? Can’t we just go through the procedures?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“Darling, let’s put it this way. First of all, you have to get the money ready. Secondly, you need to have a household register here. If you don’t have a household register in Country M, you can’t buy land here, you can’t buy real estate, and you can’t even rent any of these,” Alice said.
It was absolutely impossible for them to change their household register. Qiao Mei was still thinking that she could take over a small shop here to slowly earn money, but these transaction rules had completely stumped her.
“Alice, can you make us some fries or fried chicken? I still have many questions to ask you. I think I may need to sit here the entire afternoon,” Qiao Mei said apologetically.
“It’s fine. You can sit here for as long as you want. I’m just a lonely old woman. My son works elsewhere and rarely comes back. There are also very few people who come to my shop. I’m very happy that you can accompany me,” Alice said.
Xia He hurriedly pulled Qiao Mei to the wall and shielded Qiao Mei behind her. Alice quickly closed the window and used a table to block the door. She took out a gun from the drawer and said, “Both of you, hide! Don’t come out! It’s very dangerous! ”
Qiao Mei and Xia He admired Alice even more by now. They did not expect Alice to know how to use a gun!
Soon, a group of people appeared on the street. Some of them were beating one another with baseball bats, while others even held beer bottles and knives in their hands. They fought to kill and blood splattered on the glass window. It was a shocking sight, but Alice and Xia He remained calm. Qiao Mei just squatted in the corner obediently and did not make any sounds.
The fight did not last long, or rather, those people took the fight away from this alley very quickly. Alice only dared to open the window to check for damages when the staff at the opposite shop opened their window. She still had two billboards and a table and chairs outside!
“Oh... that’s so tragic. All my things are damaged,” Alice said angrily.
“Should you call the police? When the police arrest them, you can make them compensate you for your losses,” Xia He said.
“Young lady, the police are useless here. We can only admit defeat when faced with such a situation,” Alice said.
Xia He still did not understand the situation here. In Qiao Mei’s other life, she had handled a few criminal cases overseas and knew what the situation was like. She pulled Xia He to her side and said, “Talk less and observe more. It’s very dangerous here now..”
