Chapter 75 - Opening of the Store

Since there was no room in the shop and no bed in the empty room in the backyard, they still had to drive the oxcart back to town and come early tomorrow.

Due to the lack of time, Mo Xiao Yan had not met Chen Zi Mo in the past few days, so it was impossible to tell him the date of his opening.

The next morning, before the sky brightened, Lee's woke up and called everyone out. Since the shop was open for business today, they had to go and make preparations as soon as possible.

Mo Xiao Yan changed into a new set of clothes, tidied up his family and rushed the oxcart to the town.

There were quite a lot of customers who had just opened up a store. The store was so full that it was hard to sit down. Some of them even took them back to the store to eat.

Mo Lin Yu and Mo Da Lin were in charge of running the hall, while Lee's and Mo Xiao Yan were in charge of roasting meat in the kitchen. Mo Xiao Xia had collected the money all by himself, and was so busy that most of the people did not even have time to eat.

At this time, the guests had almost all left, and Chen Zi Mo, Su Jin Xuan and Leng Qian Ye walked in together.

When Su Jin Xuan first came in, Mo Xiao Yan was very surprised to see him here. He did not expect that he would actually come here as well.

"Xiao Yan, I heard that you opened your shop today, so I brought a friend here to support you." Chen Zi Mo laughed heartily.

"Then thank you. I'll get you some barbecue. " Mo Xiao Yan was exhausted after busying himself for the entire day.

After being roasted, he brought it over to the table. Chen Zi Mo was the first to take a bite out of it, while Leng Qian Ye ate as well. Mo Xiao Yan thought that Su Jin Xuan probably would not be able to eat it.

But just as he thought that, Su Jin Xuan actually took out a stick and started eating as well. Even Leng Qian Ye was stunned.

"Nope." Su Jin Xuan would never give a good evaluation of anything, the best case scenario would be what he said would be nothing out of the ordinary.

Chen Zi Mo and Leng Qian Ye naturally understood him, and knew that his words usually had a good meaning.

As for Su Jin Xuan, he continued to eat the barbecue skewer, completely ignoring what Mo Xiao Yan had just said.

Seeing that he did not reply, Mo Xiao Yan felt a little awkward.

Cough cough … He covered up the embarrassment in his heart.

"Oh right, are you guys hungry enough for this? If it's not enough, I'll roast some more for you, right? " Mo Xiao Yan saw that he had finished eating all twenty skewers on the table.

"Enough, it's getting late, Xiao Yan, are you guys closing soon?" Leng Qian Ye asked with a smile.

"That's right. We were so busy today that we didn't even have a bite to eat. After we go back, we still have to cook. I'm hungry." Mo Xiao Yan rubbed his stomach, which was now nestled close to his back due to hunger.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Then let's go to a restaurant for a meal. It's already so late. " Chen Zi Mo said with concern.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble. It's the same if we go back and eat." Even though he had a steady income every day, he couldn't afford to waste it. It would take at least two taels of silver to go to a restaurant.

"Let's go." Su Jin Xuan stood up and said.

"Then Xiao Yan, we'll be leaving first. I'll come see you when I have time." Chen Zi Mo said his goodbyes.

"Yes." Mo Xiao Yan nodded.

"Xiao Yan, let's pack up and go back. It's getting late." Lee's came out from the backyard and said.

"Alright, mom, let's clean up quickly."

There were a lot of people here today, so the house was rather dirty. After a few people cleaned up, they locked the door and drove the oxcart back.

On the way back, Lee's said: "Xiao Yan, do you think we should go buy some vegetables and rice when we have time?

"Yeah, I thought so too. I'll go buy some tomorrow." Mo Xiao Yan said.

Actually, Mo Xiao Yan still wanted to buy some blankets or something. Sometimes, if you close the door late, you can just sleep there.

On the second day, when they were preparing to drive the oxcart out, Yao Gui Hua and Mo Chun Lan came over.

"We are going to the town for some matters today, so please sit on your ox-cart." Yao Gui Hua was not the least bit polite.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law, come sit up. We're going to travel soon." Mo Da Lin said.

Yao Gui Hua was first given a seat for her daughter, then she squeezed Lee's to the side and sat in the middle, afraid that she would fall down.

All along the way, Yao Gui Hua kept on chattering nonstop, showing off about her own home.

"A few days ago, there were two more people who came to propose marriage. They looked like talented people, and one of them was even a student. However, Chun Lan does not fancy our family." Yao Gui Hua said proudly.

"Oh, that's good." Lee's replied simply.

Mo Xiao Yan sat right next to Yao Gui Hua. He felt like he was going deaf and his voice was loud, talking nonstop along the way. He regretted letting her take the ox-cart.

"The other one is for business, but he is older than our Chun Lan by a few years, Chun Lan would also look down on him." Yao Gui Hua started talking again.

"Has anyone come to your Xiao Xia's house to propose recently?" Yao Gui Hua said as she looked at Mo Xiao Xia.

"No, we're not in a hurry either." The Lee's said indifferently.

In truth, Lee's had already wanted to ignore her for a long time, and had only politely replied her with a few words.

"That's right, your family's Xiao Xia doesn't look that good. If she was as good-looking as our family's Chun Lan, there would definitely be many people who would come to propose marriage." Yao Gui Hua looked at Mo Xiao Xia with disdain.

In truth, Mo Chun Lan did not look that great, she was just a symbol of growth in this village. She really did not know where his whole family got that much confidence and narcissism.

The dress that Mo Chun Lan was wearing today was also relatively gorgeous, beautiful and vulgar.

When they arrived at the town, Mo Xiao Yan thought that they would have to get off the oxcart to busy themselves with their own things.

But he didn't have the slightest intention of getting off the carriage.

"Aunt, didn't you say you had business in town? Now that we're here, you can go down. " Mo Xiao Yan faintly said as he glanced at her.

"No rush, let's go to your shop first. I heard from the villagers that you opened a shop, so we came to take a look as well." Yao Gui Hua planned to follow her to the shop.

"We have to pack up in the morning. We might not be able to greet you." Mo Lin Yu stopped the oxcart and said.

"We're all family, there's no need to greet them. Let's go." Yao Gui Hua was getting impatient.

He had no choice but to bring them along with him to the store.

Just as he entered, Yao Gui Hua said with a face full of envy: "Your family has really struck gold, opening such a big shop."

Mo Xiao Yan cursed in his heart. What do you mean rich, making it look like they stole it?
