Chapter 338: 109: Teach the scum a lesson, be the matchmaker_5
She only despised herself for being too weak, for failing to protect her own children.
She let them be born unwanted by anyone.
Ni Yang said, “Mom, don’t be upset. Our three younger sisters, they have their own luck. They’ll be fine, perhaps we’ll even find them in the future!”
Ni Cuihua wiped away her tears, “I no longer hope to find them. All I wish for is their well-being in this world.”
“Mom, rest assured, our three sisters must still be alive, they are all living well.” Ni Yang embraced Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua sobbed uncontrollably.
It started to drizzle on Tomb-Sweeping Day.
The weather was a tad chilly.
The mood matched that poem: “During Tomb-Sweeping Day, rain trickles down, travelers on the road are filled with sorrow.”
Ni Yang pulled out a coat from the cupboard to wear again, and followed Ni Cuihua outside to burn paper money.
Because Ni Cuihua believed her three daughters were still alive, she did not prepare spirit tablets for them. She only honored the spirit tablets of her foster parents.
Days flew by.
In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The two shops in the city were already renovated. All that’s left was for Ni Yang to pick a day to open.
Ni Yang chose the sixth day of May.
There were still five days left before the opening.
New shops meant hiring new employees. According to the three-people-per-shop standard, Ni Yang still needed to recruit six more people.
Naturally, these six people would be from the village.
Ni Yang offered high salaries, so the women in the village were all willing to help Ni Yang.
New employees needed to familiarize themselves with the work environment early on, so Ni Yang took them to the Milk Tea Shop and Noodle Restaurant to help out the very next day.
After working for three days, the six people had all become familiar with their job. Ni Yang then led them to the new shop to prepare for its opening.
These six people were Liu Chunfen, Zhao Hui, Liu Cui, Wang Ruyu, Sun Xiaoyu, Wang Dongzhi. They were all honest and humble people who were grateful to Ni Yang. Therefore, Ni Yang felt secure leaving the shop in their hands.
The day before the opening, Ni Yang bought some braised meat for everyone to take home.
Everyone took their meat home, while Ni Yang stayed in the shop to deal with some minor details.
“Yangyang, is your shop really opening the day after tomorrow?” Zhou Xiaolian, the neighboring shop owner’s wife, came over to join the fun.
Ni Yang was always enthusiastic and knew how to get along with people. During the renovation, she offered everyone bread and milk tea in consideration of the noise disturbance. This goodwill left everyone with a good impression of her.
Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, ma’am.”
Zhou Xiaolian continued, “Yangyang, you’ve prepared so many noodles and milk tea, aren’t you afraid you won’t get enough customers tomorrow? I don’t mean to sound negative, but this shop is rather tricky!”
Ni Yang laughed, “Ma’am, I’m confident that I’ll be able to sell everything.”
After all, Ni Yang didn’t believe in the whole Feng Shui thing.
If it really had to do with Feng Shui, wouldn’t all the shops in this row have to close down?
Yet, she saw other shops doing quite well.
Moreover, Ni Yang had spent three days doing promotions at the old shop.
Ni Yang wasn’t worried about her business at all.
After all, the Noodle Restaurant and Milk Tea Shop had already built a substantial reputation in the city’s food industry over the past half a year.
Several imitators had already emerged in the city, yet none of them could match the taste provided here at Ni Yang’s.
Therefore, everyone preferred to come to Ni Yang’s.
Zhou Xiaolian gave Ni Yang a look, “Yangyang, you’re still too young! There are things you have to believe in! Why don’t you burn some things at the front of the shop to ward off evil?! Otherwise, I’m really worried…”
If there weren’t problems with the Feng Shui of these two shops, how is it possible that three shops opened in a row and all had to close down?
“Ma’am,” Ni Yang continued, “I appreciate your kindness, I’ll consider it when I get home.”
Zhou Xiaolian added, “Yangyang, don’t blame me for not warning you if you fail to get any business.” Then Zhou Xiaolian changed the topic, “By the way, Yangyang, the person who came with you last time, was that your mother? The one who was also holding a baby.”
“Yes, that’s my mother,” Ni Yang nodded.
Zhou Xiaolian thought about how to phrase the next sentence, “Yangyang, what I’m about to say next might be a bit blunt, but I hope you won’t take offense.”
“Ma’am, just say what you have to say.”
Zhou Xiaolian hesitated.
Ni Yang poured Zhou Xiaolian a glass of water, “Why don’t we sit down and talk?”
