On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, as soon as the sky was bright, the door of Suzaku's house was knocked loudly. Ah Da and Ah Er had also returned, and when they opened the door, they saw an old man in his fifties, carrying a burden and standing outside the door covered in mud.

The person who came went directly into it, Ah Da and Ah Er didn't pay attention, the person had already entered the courtyard, shouting loudly as they walked.

"Oh no, no, the shop has been taken away!"

Suzaku heard the shouting and came out of the house, meeting the old man head-on.

When the old man saw Suzaku, he urged anxiously.

"Go, go and invite the master, it's terrible, something big is going to happen!"

Suzaku was stunned, this old man who had never masked himself regarded himself as a subordinate. Something big is going to happen? What's so urgent?

Suzaku let the old man into the living room, and when he saw that the old man was urging himself again, he responded unhurriedly.

"This old man, my name is Suzaku, and I am the owner of this courtyard. If there is something, you just say it slowly, and you don't care about this moment anymore. ”

"Not in a hurry? Are you in a hurry if your eyebrows are burned? Wait, you say you're the master of this yard? ”

The old man first fought back as if he had burned his buttocks, and then looked at Suzaku suspiciously.

At this time, Ah Da and Ah Er also followed, holding the old man left and right.

"Girl, this crazy old man is nothing wrong with you, is it? We're going to throw him out. ”

At this time, the old man also reacted, broke free from the control of Ah Da and Ah Er, and fell to his knees with a thud, crying loudly.

"Girl, think about it, our shop is going to be gone, that's half my life's work."

It was only now that Suzaku came up with a piece of useful information. Shop? Isn't it the shop in Linshan City? Could this old man be the shopkeeper of the shop?

Suzaku helped the old man up, arranged for him to sit down on a chair, and ordered Ah Da to take a wet towel and hand it to the old man.

The old man wiped his face indiscriminately, and his voice was choked.

"Girl, please forgive me for being rude, I didn't know it was you. I am the shopkeeper of the shop in Linshan City, my name is Hua Hatduo, since I was in my twenties, I have been working in the shop, thanks to Lord Zhu Ba, this shopkeeper has also been doing it for more than 20 years, this shop is all my hard work! In the beginning, I started as a buddy......"

This old man didn't stop talking, from the beginning to the shop to do things, the big and small things have been counted. Suzaku listened patiently, made tea for the old man in the middle, poured water several times, and saw that it was close to noon, and only then did he talk about how he had just become a shopkeeper.

Suzaku couldn't bear it anymore, so he interrupted Hua Hate Duo and made a suggestion.

"Hua Lao, you must be tired from coming overnight, why don't you go and rest first, I'll make you lunch, and we'll talk after eating?"

"Well, I'm really sleepy, my old bones can't compare to before. Thank you, girl, then, I'll go and rest first? ”

Suzaku asked Ah Da to take Hua Hasson to rest, feeling very helpless. This old man is really interesting, when he enters the door, he is more anxious than anyone else, but when he sits down, he just mentions the past of those old sesame seeds and rotten grains, and completely forgets the meaning of his visit. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry for a while, let's cook first.

Lunch Suzaku prepared quite hearty. A plate of peanuts, a plate of vinegared cabbage, a plate of stir-fried chicks, a pot of hot and sour egg soup, and steamed buns have also been prepared.

At this meal, Hua hated Duo and was pleasantly surprised. While eating, he praised Suzaku's cooking skills, and didn't stop until Hua Haoduo only burped, but he ate four steamed buns, which surprised Suzaku and Ah Da and Ah Er.

After eating and drinking, Hua Qiduo's mind was also much clearer, and he didn't continue to talk about the past and go straight to the topic.

"Girl, you don't know, this shop is in big trouble. ……”

With Hua Hedow's narration, things became clear little by little.

Zhu Ba took his son to Linshan City to see a doctor, and looked for a famous doctor, but he was not cured, so he borrowed some people from the Zhu clan in the city, saying that he was going to take revenge. Who knows, in the end, only Zhu Ba went back alone, and after he went back, he went to find Hua Hassoc Duo to solve the arrest and asked him to help deal with the family property as soon as possible.

These Suzaku know more than Hua Hateduo, and know the reason better. After Zhu Ba discovered the treasure, he wanted to take it alone, so he found the head of the arrest, entrusted him to sell the property as soon as possible, and handed over all the property deeds to him with full authority. Then, he went to take Zhu Ruoyu's jade Jue, planning to take some gold bricks away from home first, and then come back later.

What happened next, Suzaku was not clear. Hua Hateduo also took a lot of effort to explain it clearly.

It turned out that after Zhu Ba left, the Zhu clan came to find Zhu Ba. Zhu Ba's family lived in the shop, and when Zhu Ba left, he made an appointment with his family to meet in another place, so when the Zhu clan arrived, Zhu Ba's family was packing up their things, and when they learned that Zhu Ba was not there, they immediately left Zhu Ba's family. said that Zhu Ba's promised benefits and the manpower he lent were not seen, and he asked Zhu Ba's family to stay as hostages.

Zhu Ba does not have many families, only a wife and son. Although his son Zhu Xiaotian has become a fake eunuch, his injuries are almost healed. The wife is also a ruthless character, and she may know better, seeing that the Zhu clan will not let her go, she pretends to stay, and is privately ready to slip away at any time.

When the head of the seizure brought back the silver taels to deal with the family property, Zhu Ba's wife's eyes were full of anger. She didn't expect that even the shop would be sold for such a small amount of money. So he had a poisonous plan, and quietly sold the shop to the Mijia shop opposite, although there was no deed of ownership, he directly wrote an agreement to sign and pledge. Then, he told the Zhu clan that he would leave the shop as a mortgage, and he and his children went to find Zhu Ba, got out, and never saw a trace again.

The Zhu clan sent someone to keep an eye on the shop, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Zhu Ba's family returning, so they drove Hua Hatduo out and planned to forcibly occupy the shop. The Mi family shop on the opposite side saw it, and came to the door with the agreement written by Zhu Ba's wife, and quarreled with the Zhu clan, and no one let anyone. Hua Hatduo saw that things were not good, and he was reluctant to work hard for half his life, so he found the head of the rescue and asked about the situation, only to know that the shop had been sold to Suzaku earlier, so he rushed to report the news overnight.

To make things clear, it was evening. Suzaku only felt the pain of his head swelling, made dinner hastily, ate it with everyone, and rested separately.

Suzaku needs time to be quiet, she has to think about the ins and outs of the matter, and she has to think of a solution.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Suzaku had already made up his mind and rushed to Linshan City with Hua Hatduo. Considering that he didn't know how long it would take to calm things down, he summoned Zhu Dalong and other tenants before leaving, and explained them carefully.

After the Spring Festival, the weather has shown signs of warming. The snow on the road gradually melted and became more muddy. Suzaku and Hua Qiduo hired a carriage and staggered to Linshan City.

What kind of challenges will Suzaku face?
