What? Ask her for money?
There was a lot of money on the counter, but this granddaughter asked her for money?
Grandmother Su just wanted to slap the table, but then she remembered that she was the one who said she would take care of these siblings.
This granddaughter just went along with her words.
No wonder her second daughter-in-law sent a message that Su Jin Tang was disobedient and asked for her to discipline her. It seems that she really needs to be taught properly.
Grandmother Su looked at the silver money that was covered up and sighed: "The family farm has had a poor harvest in recent years. Your eldest uncle has worked hard to support his wife, so where can I get any money?"
Su Tang said nothing but continued to clean up with Aunt Zhou.
Second Aunt Su and Grandmother Su just watched them cleaning, neither offering to help.
Su Tang knew that the two of them were going to stay at her house after she saw this.
However, if they didn't leave, then she couldn't collect the money.
Grandmother Su saw that Su Tang was busying herself with work, so she said, "I see that your restaurant is in good business. You don't need to hire anyone. Grandma will give you a hand. "
Grandmother Su stood up as she spoke and touched the wooden barrel containing the money directly with her hand.
Su Tang immediately stopped her and said with a smile: "You are an elder, so you just rest. How can I bother you?"
Su Tang pushed her back to her seat again and winked at Aunt Zhou.
The two carried the money to the kitchen together.
Grandmother Su was furious and cursed when she saw this: "You little girl, who are you guarding against? I am your elder, so what's wrong with me helping? How could you let an outsider help you with the money, but not let me take it?"
Su Tang was sitting in the kitchen calmly while grandmother Su was making a ruckus outside.
Just letting her scold her.
Aunt Zhou looked at her and couldn't help saying: "How could your relatives be like this."
Aunt Zhou doesn't know much about the rest of her family, but she could tell what kind of temper this grandmother had from what she saw here.
She was afraid that if this person really stayed here, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

Su Tang already had an idea in her head, so she explained to Aunt Zhou: "Our Cang Qin country cares most about filial piety, so I can't intimidate her to drive her out."
Su Tang counted the money and handed fifty wen to Aunt Zhou: "I can't keep you here for dinner today, so take this money. Go take Cong'er and Hang'er to eat out together."
"This money is too much." Aunt Zhou quickly said.
The three of them won't need to spend so much money.
Su Tang said, "You guys should have some good food for lunch. I have one more thing I want to ask aunty for help with. "
Su Tang looked at the money at hand. She didn't want to renovate the restaurant immediately, but she needed to spend the money fast.
She could cry that she was poor to her elders if she could spend all of today's earnings.
It was almost noon then Aunt Zhou went out.
There were only three people left in the small restaurant: Su Tang, Second aunt Su, and Grandmother Su.
They looked at each other and her second aunt said, "Jin Tang, why haven't you made lunch yet? Your grandmother is here. Don't you want to buy some chicken, duck, fish, or meat to entertain her?"
Su Tang heard that and acted surprised: "What? I'm making lunch? How can you expect this granddaughter to cook with such a filial son and daughters-in-law like second uncle and second aunt around? I wouldn't dare to take the credit."
Second Aunt Su wanted to step forward immediately, but she saw that the door was left open when Aunt Zhou left. The people outside could see it if she did anything.
Aunt Su retreated back to Grandmother Su's side at the thought of being beaten by the board. She just looked at Su Jin Tang sharply.
How could her aunt, who was so good at bullying before, become like this now?
Aunt Su and Grandmother Su waited until the sun was on top of their heads. Su Tang still cooked nothing and just started to clean the backyard.
A place was arranged in the backyard, so Su Tang was going to buy a recliner and put it there.
It just so happened to be in the tree's shade. It was most comfortable to lie down in the shade.
The two "elders" were so hungry that they had to go back to the house next door.

Su Tang sipped her tea while watching this spectacle.
Aunt Zhou came back after a while with a few meat pies in hand. They smelled very nice.
She also brought a few people with her. It was obvious that they were laborers by looking at their body build.
Among these laborers was Wang Wu. Today, Wang Wu was carrying things in the carpenter's place and was called to help.
He didn't expect to be called to come help at the breakfast shop when he coincidently said that he liked this breakfast shop.
Several of the other laborers with Wang Wu had the same expressions showing on their faces.
Su Tang saw them and smiled: "I remember you guys, you also ate here this morning, right?"
Wang Wu: "Yes, this is a coincidence."
The carpenter also walked in with a look of joy after the workers: "Miss Su said that she was in a hurry, so I brought more people here."
Everyone was all neighbors, and it was rare to have such a big job during the week.
Of course, the carpenter would do his best.
Su Tang thanked him and told the carpenter what kind of changes to the restaurant she wanted.
Originally, she hadn't planned to renovate the restaurant so quickly. She hadn't made a lot of money, and she only had eleven or twenty taels on hand.
Not to mention the usual expenses and the payment of the tuition for Xiao Hang will take more than two taels.
Usually, she couldn't bear to spend all the silver she had on hand. She had saved up a little bit of silver, even though it was just some money as a deposit.
Su Tang knew that the money couldn't be kept when Grandmother Su Came here today.
She can't give a penny to those people even if she had to spend it all!
But after transforming the restaurant into a breakfast restaurant, it would be difficult to turn it into a Chinese restaurant in the future.
She decided that she would just keep this breakfast shop running. She could buy another shop later when she wanted to set up another restaurant.
The carpenter quickly understood Su Tang's instructions.
First, they moved all the tables and chairs in the restaurant out. Then, they would put long tables horizontally on the three walls of the restaurant as dining tables.
Such long tables can accommodate many people.
They would also put long tables in the middle of the room.
This design was very similar to a modern western-style fast-food restaurant, that started with a K.
It was a modern design that could accommodate many people but still looked spacious.
Su Tang was in a hurry, so she asked them to finish it fast. Everything was easy to handle with money, and the carpenter immediately called his people to start the job.
Aunt Zhou also brought a mason over because Su Tang wanted to fill the big hole in the restaurant's roof.
The mason and the carpenter were asked to make a skylight on the roof instead of directly covering it with tiles.
The knowledge of creating a skylight was already well known.
The mason got the money and immediately went up with his little apprentice to clean the roof.
The carpenter received the size and started to make the skylight first.
Grandmother Su saw that the room was full of laborers when she finally came back for lunch. Aunt Zhou was obviously guarding Su Tang by following behind her.
Su Tang sat at the door and bit into a meat pie.
The meat of the patties was fresh, but the process was still lacking, so it still had a strange taste.
Fortunately, the chef who made the pie was very skillful, so the skin was crispy.
Grandmother Su thought of the sweet potato rice that she had just eaten and then saw the meat pie in Su Tang's hand. She could only feel sour in her stomach.
The little grandson she was holding was about to fall off from her arms.
When Aunt Su saw this, she said sarcastically, "Grandma, look at your granddaughter. She eats meat pie by herself while leaving you to eat sweet potato rice."
Without waiting for grandmother Su to speak, Su Tang directly replied: "What? Second aunt let grandmother eat sweet potato rice? Didn't you say that you want chicken, duck, meat, fish and everything had to be the best to entertain the elders?"
This was what Su's second aunt said to her just now, so she was just returning the favor.
Su Tang felt satisfied seeing their expressions.
Do you want to bicker?
Could you guys be better than me?

It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past.

Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

A world where magic must be hidden from mankind is a world where mages have no reason to exist.

She was, as they say, a living embodiment of a thousand year old curse upon the Kingdom and humanity as a whole. And the only way to handle a curse is to get rid of it--which is precisely what the Kingdom had been doing for centuries--eliminating any being that contained even an ounce of enchanted blood. Zara has lived most of her life with the threat of death hanging over her head, though it never averted her heightening curiosity about magic, nor the abilities innate within her. And when a powerful, enigmatic Sorcerer comes to her with a proposition, Zara finally sees her chance to embrace the curse she was born with. It was a chance laced with precarity and destruction, but a chance nonetheless...
