Responsible for killing but not responsible for burying

  "Thank you, younger uncle, thank you older uncle, thank you second aunt's husband, thank you younger aunt's husband..."

  This kid is really good at counting money, his hands are cramping from it haha, this money came too quickly, but the feeling is truly awesome!

  50,000 yuan, in 1999, this was the salary of several ordinary civil servants for a few months. To know that at that time, the monthly salary of a servant in Li Yifan's family was only 350.

  Since he borrowed money from his uncle, looking at his uncle's blood-sweating appearance, Li Yifan was delighted. What is this? This is called digging a hole and burying oneself, serving him right, who let you be unkind in the first place.

  However, the compensation of 10,000 yuan in cash is quite good. In recent years, Bincheng has been working hard to build a tourist city and has been vigorously promoting urbanization. Many original roads have been renovated, and the original bike lanes have all been cancelled and converted into motor vehicle lanes. Now riding a bicycle on the road is really dangerous.

  "Guang Wang, Qiang Cai, you two should learn from your brother Yifan and study hard. If your grades improve, we adults will certainly reward you."

  The elder uncle showed off his parental style and lectured Li Yifan's two younger male cousins.

  Cousin Zhang Qian sat beside her uncle, still with a proud demeanor, trying to maintain the image of a noble lady. Although she was somewhat curious about Li Yifan's sudden improvement in academic performance, who was usually not highly regarded by her as a cousin, she didn't say much.

  Cai Qiang, the cousin from his aunt's family, looked at Li Yifan with a gaze full of admiration. In the past, Li Yifan had helped him fight and he had a very good impression of Li Yifan. Now that this cousin was so confident and respected by the adults, he naturally admired Li Yifan even more.

  But Wang Guang, the cousin of Er Yi's family, had two red eyes. If you looked closely, there were signs of crying, and a faint palm print could be seen on his face. At this time, he looked at Li Yifan with resentment in his eyes.

  He had also finished his exams in the past few days. When his parents came home at noon, he was playing with his old Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console at home. As a result, he was caught by his father, who immediately snatched the controller from him and slapped him twice on the face, scolding him as a good-for-nothing and an unambitious thing. Unsatisfied, he even kicked him twice.

  In the past, if his dad had beaten him, his mom would have rushed up to fight with his dad, but today, even though he lay on the sofa crying loudly, his mom didn't come up to persuade his dad at all.

  It wasn't until then that he realized, the emotions were all because of his own brother's sake. Wang Guang was getting angrier by the minute, and at this point, the resentment in his heart towards his brother had reached its peak, even to the point of hatred.

  Looking at his red-eyed younger cousin, Li Yifan did not feel any guilt in his heart. He thought that back then, this kid had not felt ashamed after his parents launched a sneak attack on their own family, but instead went around spreading the word and telling adults about the bad things his family had done to his mother.

  Later on, their family business did well, and this grandson was even more like he didn't have a cousin like me, every time he saw me it was as if he had seen thin air, he never put me in his eyes at all.

  In those years when I was down on my luck, every time I went home for the New Year and had a family reunion, this grandson would always mock me with cold words and hot ridicule. Every kind word from his brother made him behave in such a way that he was not as close to me as an outsider.

  After fully understanding the nature of this guy's success and arrogance, Li Yifan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for his cheap younger brother.

  This time, it's fine. In the past life, I couldn't bear to collect you, but this time your old man will come and clean up this shallow guy for me. Looking at Wang Guang opposite him, Li Yifan felt a great relief in his heart.

  The adults clinked their cups together, everyone was very happy today. My uncle and dad were truly delighted, while my second aunt's husband and youngest aunt's husband had a hint of drowning their sorrows in wine. This time, the loss was not light, the fun didn't last long, and many faces were lost. The most important thing is that a lot of money was also lost. Fortunately, this time my uncle brought out Maotai to treat everyone. If they didn't make an effort to drink more, it would be a waste of their stomachs.

  Adults drink wine, children eat dishes, and time passes quickly.

  "By the way, big sister, I heard that your family's store is going to be renovated? What about business recently?"

  It's clear that the uncle also heard about the renovation of their restaurant's landlord, and this summer vacation is just the peak tourist season in Bincheng, which is also the busiest time for the restaurant. If they renovate at this time, the loss will not be small.

  "Yes, we are also worried about it. He is renovating the house, and then we have to redecorate again. Back and forth, it will take several months. By the time it's finished, it will be close to Chinese New Year. Who will come to eat at the restaurant by that time? There are fewer tourists too. We'll have to wait for a few more months until the peak tourist season when business can pick up again. We're worried about this too."

  My elder sister-in-law asked, and Zhang Shu also had a headache about this matter recently. In the past few days, she has been paying attention to her son's final exam and has neglected this matter.

  "Hey! If I were to say, why don't you guys just move to a different place? Isn't the house on Wuyi Street East that serves mutton soup being vacated? Why don't you guys just rent his house and open up shop there? Their environment is great, the area is bigger than your current restaurant, and most importantly, it's in the city center, close to the train station, and surrounded by many hotels. If I were to say, doing business there would be much better than where you are now."

  Although the big uncle is from the China Merchants Bureau, his vision is not bad. The location of Qian Ji Yang Za Tang's store is indeed good, and this store is exactly the one mentioned by Li Yifan and his parents before.

  But he knew his parents were conservatives, the location and environment of Wang's store were good, but the rent was also outrageous, 300,000 a year, and had to pay three deposits, which would require taking out 1.2 million at once, his dad and mom would definitely not be willing to spend that money.

  "It's like this, big sister, I think the location of that money is much better than your current location, why not just open it there?"

  Xiao Shu also advised on the side, don't look at Xiao Shu as a person from the Foreign Trade Bureau, but in the past two years, the Foreign Trade Bureau has not been doing well. He himself has done some private business, so his life is very good and his business vision is also very good.

  "Ah... this... ah... I'll go back and discuss it with Old Li again."

  Mom's words were somewhat hesitant, and Li Yifan knew at a glance that she and Dad must be reluctant to pay the high rent. After all, their family's restaurant is still profitable now, who would want to spend twice the rent to rent another house?

  What if they make less profit over there than now, or just about break even, won't they be at a loss?

  Of course, their way of thinking is also understandable. After all, in the first few decades, they didn't experience any major events.

  The two uncles exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads quietly, apparently somewhat dissatisfied with the conservativeness of my sister and brother-in-law. However, they also didn't dare say much, after all, this business was theirs to run as they pleased.

  Instead, it was the second aunt and her husband, as well as the younger uncle, who were sitting on the other side, exchanging glances with several people. The second aunt's eyes were rolling around rapidly at this time, clearly making some difficult decision in her heart.

  The expressions of these people, Li Yifan has been paying attention to them in his heart, is there something strange?

  But then it dawned on him, Li Yifan secretly pinched his own thigh, what a great opportunity, this is what you guys brought to my doorstep, what's this called?

  This is called governing the killing but not the burial. If you several people do not have evil intentions towards our family, then my words today will not harm you. But if you really still harbor malicious intentions towards our family, that would be unforgivable.

  "Ah! Dad, Mom, why don't we rent that store? The storefront is big and it seems like they just renovated last year. That Wonton Noodle Soup business is so hot, if the owner's family didn't have something going on, they definitely wouldn't want to give up the business!"

  Before the adults could speak, Li Yifan took over and said on the side, The boss of Qianji Yangzaotang has something going on at home and wants to transfer the shop. Everyone on Wuyi Street knows about it. If it weren't for this, it would be impossible to transfer this storefront.

  To be honest, there have been several groups of people in the past few days who have gone to discuss with Qian Ji and the landlord of the house about taking over the matter. If the landlord hadn't asked for too high a rent, someone would have taken it over long ago.

  "What do you know? The rent is so high, it's 120,000 yuan at a time. Can you guarantee that we can earn back the 120,000 yuan within three years?"

  Zhang Shu felt a bit anxious when she saw her son following suit, and couldn't help but scold Li Yifan in a stern tone.

  "Hehe, if it were the Li family's meat pie shop next door, I really wouldn't dare guarantee it, but if it were the Qianji lamb soup shop, with my dad's craftsmanship, our family would definitely be able to make a comeback."

  Li Yifan smiled and said that Li's meat pie is also a store in the east of Wuyi Road, which has been transferred recently. It is said that it is also because the boss has something at home.

  Their storefront and the one Li Yihua's family is renting now are about the same, both are privately built by the landlord as illegal constructions, also leaking wind and rain, although the location is not bad, but winning in cheap rent.

  That year, Li Yifan's second aunt's house was later rented out as a shop for Li Jia Rou Bing, and then they spent a lot of money to hire a master chef who specialized in seafood dishes. This was how the business boomed on Wuyi Street, getting hotter and hotter with time.

  What Li Yifan needs to do now is to make everyone think that the store of Qianji Yangzhaguan must be much better than Liji Roubing, although it is indeed so, but he now wants to instill a concept in everyone's mind, that is, if they rent the store of Qianji Yangzhaguan, the returns they will get in the future will definitely be much higher than renting Liji Roubing.

  If this life is for Erniang's family and they don't have any ill intentions towards their own family, then these words won't bring them any substantial harm.

  But if your family is still as calculating as they were in the past, then sorry to say, you'll have to silently endure this final outcome yourselves.

  What's this? This is called "killing but not burying"!
