C181 – Renovated the Milk Tea Shop

Therefore, the best course of action now was to open the store. Otherwise, he would continue to feel jealous and be on edge all day, wondering if any men would come by. This was why Huo Qingyue was reluctant to open the store.

“We’re married now. My money is your money too. Didn’t you say you wanted to open a store? Then use the money to open it. Can’t you? You only lack the funds, and I’ll provide them for you. Isn’t that okay?”

Although Gu Yuehuan appreciated having the money to open a store for herself, they needed to discuss it fairly. She could now earn money and use his, but it felt unjust and difficult to express.

Seeing Huo Qingyue’s angry expression, she realized today had indeed been dangerous. Gu Yuehuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I can agree to your terms, but only if I borrow the money from you. I can’t repeat what happened last time. Even though I earned enough to pay you back, you didn’t accept it. We’re married, but this is your pre-marriage property. I don’t want to use it. If you’re willing, I’ll take it as a loan and repay you once I’ve made enough money. I’ll borrow the money to open the shop, but if that’s not acceptable, then forget it.”

Huo Qingyue had no objections to this arrangement. What he wanted was for her to stop setting up stalls and instead open a store and hire workers. This way, if ruffians and troublemakers came by, there would be staff to handle them.

Gu Yuehuan grew increasingly curious about his identity and how he could afford to give her gold bars now.

Gold bars were rare in this era, typically owned only by the wealthy. How could he produce so many gold bars at once and encourage people to buy gold as an investment? It was hard to spend so much money on it.

Huo Qingyue had considerable wealth and connections with doctors in big cities.

Gu Yuehuan initially wanted to ask him about it, but she figured he would tell her if he wanted to. If he wasn’t saying anything now, it meant he didn’t want to disclose it yet.

She just needed to wait until the day he chose to reveal his identity.

Gu Yuehuan originally thought that once she opened the shop, the local ruffians and hooligans would leave her alone. In recent days, she had not opened the shop and had informed previous customers about her plans. Now, she was inviting them to check out her new signboard.

Renovating a shop was far more complex than setting up a stall.

With a handcart and ingredients, a stall could be set up quickly. But renovating a shop required much more effort and attention to detail.

She knew how to renovate her shop since she had worked in a mall in her previous life. She had seen the renovation of online stores, so while she couldn’t replicate that exactly, she aimed to create a simple and colorful design similar to a typical milk tea shop. She felt confident in her ability to do it.

Today, she sought out some experienced renovation experts and cleared out the original items from the medicinal herb shop. She then refurbished the walls and bought vibrant paint in pink and green. Both colors were particularly eye-catching, with pink being especially cute and gentle.

She chose these two colors and hired two craftsmen, paying them ten yuan a day. Their tasks were to paint and help move some items for her.
