You're Very Thoughtful

It was almost the end of the month, and Shopkeeper Niu merged the two adjacent shops. The left side became part of Qiao's Small Eatery, doubling the space. They even arranged tables and chairs inside, giving it an elegant look.

Outside, they expanded to the north, accommodating even more customers.

The four shops to the south had attracted some inquiries, but no deals were made as the rental price was slightly higher.

Qiao Mai wasn't in a hurry. Each shop rented for five taels of silver per month, which meant only sixty taels a year for four shops. She wasn't short on money.

She had no interest in being a landlady for people with such narrow sight who could only see money.

She had other plans in mind.

On May 26th, the Lu and Qin families arranged a marriage, and Qiao Mai was invited as a witness.

She needed to attend Miss Wang's wedding in September, so Ruyi's wedding was scheduled for the following spring.
