Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Nowhere to Settle (5 updates)

This time, Jin Yu followed Xu Niannian, and because of his kindness, she suddenly felt that he wasn’t that annoying anymore.

Walking side by side on the street, Xu Niannian, who was not very familiar with the county town, asked Jin Yu, "Do you know of any sizable shops for rent around here?"

"Are you planning to open a shop?" Jin Yu quickly understood her intention.

Xu Niannian nodded, "I want to open a shop in the county town."

"Selling cakes?"

The cake he was referring to was Liuyue Su, Xu Niannian shook her head, "No, I want to open a restaurant."

With her current capabilities, she could only open an average restaurant; anything too big and she wouldn’t have sufficient funds.

"Where do you plan to live?" Jin Yu asked a very practical question. To open a restaurant in the county town, she would at least need a place to stay.

"I’m just trying to find one," she replied while her gaze swept back and forth along the street, looking for a suitable shop up for rent.

Location was very important. Although good wine needs no bush, it’s always better to find a place with heavy foot traffic than one with few customers.

However, the central shops in the county town were all pretty much rented out; there were only some smaller ones left unrented.

But the shops were too small for Xu Niannian’s liking; with just enough space for three or four tables, they were obviously unsuitable.

Most people had set meal times within a specific timeframe, and three or four tables wouldn’t accommodate many, leading to a loss of a lot of business.

After walking around, she didn’t find a satisfactory shop, which left Xu Niannian somewhat disappointed.

"I have a house over at Nanshui; do you want to take a look?"

Seeing her furrowed brows and distressed appearance, Jin Yu was eager to smooth out her frown.

"You have a house at Nanshui?" Xu Niannian asked in surprise.

Nancheng County’s most historically significant area was there, as most of the houses were left from the Republican era.

It was said that the street used to be where the Landlord’s Family lived.

The houses should be quite large.

But that area was primarily residential, with almost no one opening shops there.

Even so, the fact that Jin Yu had a house there truly surprised her.

How much could a soldier’s allowance be?

A house there should cost at least several thousand, or close to ten thousand each.

That’s in the current era, where housing prices are not very high.

But even so, several thousand yuan was a lot of money in that era.

For instance, the 600 yuan she had could rent a shop space of around a hundred square meters for three months, including her room rent, purchase of tables and chairs for the shop, and various other items.

If this were in the future, 600 yuan wouldn’t even be enough for a month’s living expenses.

At this moment, Xu Niannian looked at Jin Yu with a very intense gaze, as if she were looking at some corrupt official.

Seeing her moist, large eyes, Jin Yu couldn’t resist running his tongue around the inside of his teeth.

"This was left by my grandfather," he explained.

Even if it hadn’t been left by his grandfather, he wouldn’t have resorted to embezzlement. The Wu Family and the Jin Family were prominent households in the capital; moreover, his mother was the only daughter in the Wu Family.

His family had never been short of money.

After a moment’s thought, Jin Yu added, "I wouldn’t engage in corruption or bribery."

Her thoughts exposed, Xu Niannian immediately felt awkward, "Ahahaha... I never said you were corrupt."

With nowhere to place her hands, they moved back and forth in front of her as her face almost stiffened with a forced smile.

Watching her embarrassment, Jin Yu laughed inwardly, wondering why she wasn’t feeling awkward when she was suspecting someone.
