My Children Are Fierce and Adorable Novel! - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: The Shop by the Yuan River

The broker brought Ye Lulu to a place further away from the river. They could still see the bustling crowd at the market. The voices were loud as well.

However, it was no longer near the docks where people got on or off the ships. It was at the side.

There was actually a shop at such a place.

In other words, there was a building.

There was more than one level.

However, this building was trembling slightly and was very dilapidated. Some of the wood had even turned black. There were probably termites inside as well.

As for the door, it was gray in color. The carvings and design were not bad, but it was unknown how many years this building had been empty. The air near the Yuan River was humid and corrosive. In short, it looked bad.

Perhaps because it had been there for a long time, the people nearby ignored it.

Instead, if one walked a few hundred meters diagonally of this dilapidated building, they would reach a low-key and quiet residential alley in Yuan City. The houses were mostly built well.

If the residents living inside came out, they would be considered a group of customers.

Boats moved back and forth by the Yuan River. Smoke rose from the clear river surface, and the scenery on the other side of the river could not be seen clearly.

In such a unique scenery, it stood trembling by the river. It did not seem out of place, but it was a little pitiful and funny.

The strangest thing about this shop was that half of the building arched over the Yuan River. This meant that, especially on the second floor, if one walked out, they would stand on the river. When they looked down, they would see the river water sparkling.

Originally, this design should have been very eye-catching.

However, because this building was old and trembling, when people saw it on the river from afar, they were afraid that it would break and people would fall!

Furthermore, in ancient times, people did business according to tradition. The big restaurants and shops were on the most bustling main street and were at the places with the most people in the city. No one had considered the buildings by the river.

No one would buy a house there to stay in, either.

It could be used as a shop. Half of the building was on the river, giving people a dangerous feeling. Furthermore, it was dilapidated. One would not be in the mood to renovate it. They were afraid that it would not go smoothly.

In short, after considering all these reasons, no one cared about this ‘shop.’ Even when the broker brought people to see the shop, they mostly forgot about it. They wouldn’t even remember to bring people to see it.

This time, Ye Lulu really did not take a fancy to any shop. The broker was speechless and helpless. He held his breath and brought Ye Lulu over to see this shop.

“There’s also this. It’s the last one. Take a look.” The broker suppressed his frustration and said as calmly as possible, “See if this is well. There are no other empty shops in the short term. Even if there are, it’s similar to what you’ve seen.”

“See if you like it.” The broker deliberately said this.

Ye Lulu looked around, including the river, the docks, and the residential alleys behind. Then, she said, “Alright, this shop is not bad.”

The broker was speechless.

He originally thought that this woman would definitely not like it. He raised his chin and turned around in disbelief. “You… you like this?”

“Yes.” Ye Lulu nodded and said in a relaxed tone, “It’s not bad. What’s the history of this shop? How was it built here originally?”
