632: Chapter 630: Uncle Niu’s Predicant 632: Chapter 630: Uncle Niu’s Predicant The day was already drawing to a close, and the mine had finished its workday, turning the street into a bustling scene.
Groups of n in clusters chatted, bragged, smoked, and laughed together as if they were at a small marketplace.
Chen Yang glanced around briefly but didn’t pay much attention as he continued towards his ho.
As he passed Niu Ming’s shop, he thought of picking up so items to take back with him.
So, he walked over.
“Niu Ming, do you still have so liquor at ho?” Chen Yang asked with a smile as he approached.
Niu Ming was busy then, as the ti after the miners left work was when his shop did the best business.
However, seeing Chen Yang, Niu Ming warmly responded imdiately, “Yes, Yang Zi, what kind of liquor do you want?
Beer or spirits?”
“Spirits, please.
Give two bottles.”
“Alrighty.”
Niu Ming bent down, picked up two bottles of spirits, and handed them to Chen Yang.
Before Chen Yang could even reach for his money, Niu Ming waved it off, saying, “No need to pay, just enjoy the drink.”
After that, Niu Ming went off to attend to other custors.
Chen Yang had initially wanted to pay, but seeing how busy the shop was, decided not to disturb him.
He thought he would settle the paynt next ti he visited.
Thus, he turned and left.
However, as he left, Chen Yang noticed a ‘shop for transfer’ notice was posted on the exterior wall of the shop.
Seeing the notice for the first ti, Chen Yang thought he was mistaken.
With the shop doing such good business, why on earth would Niu Ming want to transfer it?
Upon getting closer, he realized it was indeed a transfer notice.
”What’s going on?
Why would you want to transfer the shop out of the blue when it’s doing so well?” Chen Yang was truly puzzled and turned around intending to ask Niu Ming what was happening.
But seeing how busy Niu Ming was, he didn’t approach him and instead carried his two bottles of liquor back ho.
Late evening, after dinner, around eight, when the village was shrouded in silence, Chen Yang visited Niu Ming at the latter’s house at the entrance of the village.
At that ti, Niu Ming was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed.
But hearing Chen Yang calling for him outside, he wrapped himself in a coat and opened the door.
“Yang Zi, what brings you here so late?
Is sothing the matter?” Niu Ming asked cheerfully.
“There is sothing, Niu Ming,” Chen Yang responded.
“Then co in, sit, and let’s talk.” Upon hearing there was a real issue, Niu Ming imdiately welcod Chen Yang indoors.
After settling Chen Yang down, he poured a glass of water for him.
Chen Yang took a sip and then started discussing what he had seen that afternoon.
“Niu Ming, have you run into so trouble?
The shop was doing well.
Why the sudden decision to transfer it?” Chen Yang asked straightforwardly.
The cheerful Niu Ming, hearing that Chen Yang had co about this matter, suddenly looked visibly disturbed.
However, he managed a brief grin and responded, “Haha, just a bit of trouble that needs so money, so I thought of transferring the shop.”
Chen Yang furrowed his brow, sensing that Niu Ming was indeed facing so trouble.
Otherwise, why would he even think of selling the shop?
“What happened?”
Chen Yang pressed on.
Niu Ming could still manage a forced smile, but under Chen Yang’s persistent questioning, his expression struggled to hide his distress.
“Ah, it’s just that Niu Ming ran into so losses with his business in the city; he ca to a few days ago asking for money.
At my age, where do I have much money…” Niu Ming confessed, his mood somber.
“So, you thought about selling the shop to help him gather so money?” Chen Yang guessed.
Niu Ming nodded in agreent, indicating that was, indeed, the plan.
Understanding the situation, Chen Yang fell silent for a mont before asking again, “Niu Ming, do you know what business he was doing and how much money he lost?”
Uncle Niu shook his head sadly, “How would I know about that, anyway, when the call ca, his tone was very urgent, and there were even sounds of soone urging him to repay money nearby.”
“I could tell sothing big must have happened, so I wanted to help.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have considered selling the convenience store.”
Speaking of the convenience store, Uncle Niu’s eyes were full of reluctance.
Being of his age, not to ntion his son Niu Ming was far away in the city and couldn’t co back even once in several years, now his only source of inco was about to be sold.
The feeling was particularly heavy.
Chen Yang could feel it very authentically.
It was because of this feeling that Chen Yang decided to give Uncle Niu a hand.
“Uncle Niu, I think that selling the convenience store won’t really solve any problems,” Chen Yang said.
Uncle Niu nodded faintly, “I know, the convenience store wouldn’t fetch much money even if sold, but it could still contribute sothing, couldn’t it?
As a father, I can’t just stand by, can I?”
Although Uncle Niu was reluctant to part with the convenience store, it was evident that he had no choice but to sell it for his son, Niu Ming.
After much thought, Chen Yang decided he would buy the convenience store himself.
“Hmm, Uncle Niu, since you’ve indeed decided to sell the convenience store, then sell it to , I’ll buy it,” Chen Yang suddenly spoke up.
Uncle Niu was quite taken aback by this.
“You’ll buy it?”
“Yes, Uncle Niu, since it’s the sa as selling it to soone else, just sell it to .
Besides, your little shop is right next to my house, it’s convenient to look after,” Chen Yang replied, nodding and smiling, showing his genuine intention.
Although Uncle Niu didn’t quite grasp Chen Yang’s intent at that mont, seeing Chen Yang truly wanted to buy, he nodded in agreent.
“That is of course possible…”
“Alright, Uncle Niu, na your price, I’ll buy it,” Chen Yang imdiately responded.
Uncle Niu didn’t know how much his convenience store could sell for, and when Chen Yang asked him like that, he was stunned.
Not knowing how much to say, too little might not be enough for his son.
Too much and he felt he would be taking advantage of Chen Yang.
So, his mouth opened and then closed, unable to say anything.
Seeing Uncle Niu’s dilemma, Chen Yang took the initiative to offer a price, “Uncle Niu, what do you think about one hundred thousand?”
“Ah?” the bewildered Uncle Niu was greatly startled, “One hundred thousand?
Yang Zi, did you say one hundred thousand?”
“Yes, Uncle Niu, your shop does pretty good business, one hundred thousand yuan is a fair value, it’s about right,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
Uncle Niu was montarily stunned, then his face was filled with emotion.
At that mont, he knew that Chen Yang was deliberately helping him again.
Otherwise, how could his little shop possibly be worth one hundred thousand?
Moved, Uncle Niu’s eyes welled with tears, and he was too shaken to speak.
He truly appreciated Chen Yang greatly.
During these tis, how many tis had Chen Yang helped him?
Wasn’t every ti a great favor?
“Yang Zi…
I…” Uncle Niu’s voice broke, he wanted to express his thanks, but he couldn’t find the words.
Seeing Uncle Niu like this, Chen Yang felt a bittersweet sensation in his heart.
“Uncle Niu, no need to say anything more, why should we care so much about these things between us?
Let’s settle it then, I’ll buy it for one hundred thousand.
Just give the address, and tomorrow I’ll make a trip to the city and personally deliver this one hundred thousand to Niu Ming,” said Chen Yang, grasping Uncle Niu’s trembling hand earnestly.
Uncle Niu, tears streaming, could barely speak.
After a long while, he finally managed to speak, “Yang Zi…
Uncle Niu really doesn’t know how to thank you enough.
Normally, I definitely wouldn’t accept, but this ti, that boy Niu Ming really faces so trouble, I have no choice…”
“I understand, Uncle Niu, let’s not talk about thanks,” Chen Yang consoled.
In Liuhé Village, Chen Yang and Uncle Niu had the best relation among all the elders.
Because Uncle Niu was kind-hearted, he rembered all of Chen Yang’s kindness and thanked him in his own way.
Chen Yang had seen many of these acts and so he took Uncle Niu’s matters to heart.
