That was why there were two rooms with different products.

Ye Muyu nodded in understanding. It seemed that the Wang family’s shoe store was an old brand. Only experienced artists could rely on making customized shoes to make a living.

Unfortunately, the guests of the Wang family were all ordinary families in the county. For a big family like the Xie family, they would make new clothes and shoes in their own clothing shop every year. They did not need to ask others to make them.

Otherwise, with the Wang father and son’s craftsmanship, they would not have ended up in such a state because of Lu Hu.

However, it did not cause irreparable harm, so it was not a big disaster.

“There’s a courtyard at the back that can be used to store mule carts. There are two rooms that are usually used to store materials.”

Ye Muyu went in to take a look. The two rooms were not big and were enough to store the materials. However, there was no way for people to live in them. If they lived in them, there would be no place to store the materials.

Other than the two rooms in front that needed to be opened for business, the courtyard faced the back door, and the mule cart could enter from there.

The back door was connected to a small alley.

Behind the alley were some residences. The Wang family’s residence was not far from the Willow Bridge.

However, what Ye Muyu was not satisfied with was that there was no well in the courtvard.

“Can we dig a well in the courtyard?” Ye Muyu asked.

Wang Chuan nodded. “Yes. At that time, because our house was not far from here and it was just a business shop, we did not spend money to dig a well. Moreover, the public well is not far from here, just around the corner. It’s just that it’s very cold to go to the public well to fetch water in winter. It’s indeed not as having a well yourself.”

“If sister-in-law wants to dig a well, I know a customer who specializes in digging wells. The price can be cheaper.”

Ye Muyu nodded. She would be satisfied if she could dig a well.

Most of the shops in the county had such a structure. The most important thing was that the Jiangnan area was next to the river. From time to time, merchants would come and go, so Nanchang County was considered prosperous. Naturally, there were very few shops with low prices.

The Wang family’s shop met her requirements. The key was that the price did not exceed her budget.

The courtyard behind the Wang family’s shop was very large. If they really wanted to build one or two more rooms, it would not be a problem. Ye Muyu nodded in satisfaction and confirmed that she wanted to buy it.

Wang Chuan was relieved to see that she was satisfied.

“These furniture… Take these things to the new shop. You’ll need them eventually,” Ye Muyu interrupted Wang Chuan before he could finish.

“Alright then. Wang Chuan thanks sister-in-law first.” Wang Chuan knew that Ye Muyu did not want to take advantage of him.

Since the other party insisted, he did not say anything more.

“Sister-in-law, shall we go to the yamen now?

Ye Muyu shook her head and explained, “I’ve already asked Zhang Shu to look for Ah Heng. It might take some time. If you’re busy, you can go ahead. I’ll wait here.”

“Sister-in-law, come to my house. Coincidentally, my father wants to thank you in person.” Wang Chuan took the opportunity to invite her.

Ye Muyu did not want to go, but just as she finished speaking, Zhang Shu came back and said that Chu Heng would not come out until noon. He was in the middle of the seasonal exam.

She did not want to disturb Chu Heng’s exam.

Wang Chuan had insisted on inviting her, and since Wang Haiyan was sick, Ye Muyu could not pretend that she did not know about it. After all, they were relatives, and Wang Haiyan had lowered the price at the shop.

Since she had the time, she asked Zhang Shu to buy some gifts and pay Wang Haiyan a visit.

When it was a quarter past noon.

Chu Heng brought Lu Chuan and appeared in front of the Wang family’s residence.

There was no need to delay any longer. He went straight to the county office to get the red contract..
