Chapter 89 Mu Li
After Xiao Siyue returned home with the property deed, Lin Qin was sitting in the living room waiting for her.
"Yue'er, come and sit down."
"Mother." Xiao Siyue walked up to Lin Qin's side.
"Yue'er, Chun Tao said you bought a shop on the street."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyue happily handed the house deed to Lin Qin, saying, "Yes, Mother, it was just a coincidence that I got here today."
"Yue'er, are you planning to open a hot pot restaurant after buying this shop? Or are you planning to do something else?" Lin Qin asked, glancing at the property deed in her hand.
"Mom, I'm planning to open a hot pot restaurant, and this shop seems quite suitable," she said, adding that she had this plan in mind before.
“Okay, do you need Mom’s help?” Lin Qin was very supportive of Xiao Siyue.
"Not yet, but I won't be polite to Mother if I need anything later," Xiao Siyue said with a smile.
After speaking with Lin Qin, Xiao Siyue returned to her room.
Sitting at her desk, Xiao Siyue thought for a moment that the shop definitely needed to be renovated, as the current layout wasn't suitable for a hot pot restaurant.
Xiao Siyue picked up a pen and paper and drew a new blueprint, planning to start renovating the shop in a couple of days.
Should I write back to tell Grandpa Xiao to send her some chili peppers? I didn't bring much when I came before; it's enough for myself, but it's far from enough for opening a shop.
This year, every household in Xiaojia Village planted several acres of chili peppers, and they will all be ready for harvest in two months.
These were all agreed upon in advance; once the goods were received, they would be sold to the Xiao family.
Therefore, Xiao Siyue is not worried about running out of chili peppers when she opens another store.
Two days later, when Xiao Siyue went to the store again, Manager Xu had already redeemed his son and packed his things to go back to his hometown.
"Miss Xiao, you've come," Manager Xu said, feeling very grateful to the young girl who had saved his son.
"Manager Xu, are you getting ready to leave already?"
"Yes, I owe my son a great debt of gratitude to you for saving him this time." As he spoke, Manager Xu pulled his son out from behind him.
"Hurry up and thank your savior properly."
"No, no, Manager Xu, you're being too kind. I didn't save anyone. You're selling the shop, and I'm buying it. It's just a transaction between us." Xiao Siyue quickly stopped her. She hadn't saved anyone, and she even felt like she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune. How could she possibly accept such a favor?
“Miss Xiao, if you hadn’t bought our shop, my son might be gone,” Shopkeeper Xu said, looking at Xiao Siyue with even greater admiration. In the end, he still had his son thank Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue looked at the son of Manager Xu in front of her. He was not very old, probably only a teenager. He seemed to have been tormented by the people at the gambling den, and he looked rather listless.
Xiao Siyue couldn't help but wonder if this lesson would help him stay away from such things in the future and become a good son. Xiao Siyue felt that Manager Xu was a very good person and hoped that the son he had saved would take good care of him in the future.
"Miss Xiao, then we shall part ways here," Manager Xu said goodbye and left after chatting for a while.
"Lan Yi, arrange for someone to start renovating the shop tomorrow." Xiao Siyue handed the keys that Manager Xu had given her to Lan Yi.
"Yes," Lan Yi said happily as she took the key. Her mistress had finally given her a task.
"Miss Xiao?"
Just as Xiao Siyue closed the shop door and was about to go back, she heard a clear female voice.
Turning her head, she discovered that it was the Mu family's young lady she had met before, but this time she was not accompanied by her brother, but by a maid.
"Do you remember me? We met at the teahouse entrance before," Mu Li said happily, pointing at herself as Xiao Siyue pointed at her.
“I remember, Miss Mu,” Xiao Siyue said, looking at the girl in front of her who was a few years older than her.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Mu Li nodded excitedly.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Li asked, looking at Shi Lou behind Xiao Siyue with a puzzled expression.
Looking at the somewhat outgoing girl in front of her, Xiao Siyue recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier. She was a kind-hearted girl, but also a bit naive.
"Um, I have something to do." Xiao Siyue didn't say anything more, since they weren't very close and there was no need to say too much.
Although Mu Li was naive, she wasn't oblivious. Seeing that Xiao Siyue was unwilling to talk about it, she didn't ask any further questions.
"You're so cute." Mu Li looked at Xiao Siyue with sparkling eyes. She was the youngest child in her family and had always wanted a younger brother or sister, but she still didn't have one.
When I saw Xiao Siyue at the teahouse last time, I was immediately drawn to her delicate and lovely appearance, but I didn't go up to talk to her because Lin Qin was there.
She was overjoyed to see it again today.
Looking at Xiao Siyue, who was still as cute and adorable as ever, Mu Li really wanted to pinch Xiao Siyue's chubby little face. She felt that she couldn't control her restless hands at this moment.
Xiao Siyue was somewhat overwhelmed by the overflowing enthusiasm in Mu Li's eyes, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Miss Mu, are you going shopping?"
"Yes, my name is Mu Li. You can just call me by my name." Mu Li withdrew her burning gaze after hearing Xiao Siyue's words and replied.
“Okay, Mu Li, my name is Xiao Siyue, you can call me Siyue.” Xiao Siyue readily agreed.
"Siyue, why don't we go shopping together?" After exchanging names, Mu Li invited Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue figured she had nothing else to do today, so she figured she might as well wander around the streets and agreed.
When Mu Li saw that Xiao Siyue had agreed, she happily grabbed Xiao Siyue's hand and left. Seeing that Xiao Siyue did not object, she felt very pleased.
Li Li chattered incessantly the whole way, which was a bit noisy, but not annoying.
Xiao Siyue listened patiently, occasionally interjecting a word or two; the two got along fairly well. Through Mu Li's words, she also learned some things about the elite circles in Qian Yuan County.
Xiao Siyue quite liked this passionate girl.
When the two parted, Xiao Siyue received a jade bracelet from Mu Li and made a promise to play together again next time. Only then did Mu Li reluctantly return home.
Upon returning home, I was surprised to see Xiao Qinian, who was always busy and nowhere to be seen.
"Dad, aren't you busy today?" Xiao Siyue ran happily to Xiao Qinian's side.
"Yes, things are all settled. Yue'er seems very happy today! Did something happen?" Xiao Qinian put down his teacup and looked at Xiao Siyue with affection.
"I made a good friend today." Xiao Siyue told Xiao Qinian how she met Mu Li and what they did together.
“Not bad, this girl is kind-hearted, you can get to know her better.” Xiao Qinian had learned some things about Mu Li from Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Qinian felt that Xiao Siyue didn't have many friends after coming to Qianyuan County, and Xiao Siyu usually had to study and didn't have time to accompany Xiao Siyue. Now that she had friends, it was a good thing.
Xiao Siyue nodded; she also thought Mu Li was very nice.
