After hearing what Old Lady Gu said, Gu Yunle was not anxious at all, but smiled instead.

"Then go ahead and sue me if you have the guts. I'm not afraid of you."

Whether she is really unfilial or not, everyone in the village can see it, and they will know it if the government officials conduct a thorough investigation.

By then, it would not be her who was arrested by the government, but it would be Old Lady Gu who would be beaten with a stick.

At such an old age, if she were to be beaten with a stick, wow, Gu Yunle's mouth corners curled up, and he was looking forward to seeing how old lady Gu would be beaten with a stick.

Seeing Gu Yunle acting so nonchalant, Old Lady Gu became even angrier.

However, she didn't dare to actually go to the government office. She was afraid that if she messed up, she would be punished.

Then, Mrs. Gu turned to Gu Yunxi again, and said in a softer tone, "Yunxi, listen to what Yunle said. He actually spoke to me like this!"

"Yunxi, I know you are a good person, much better than Yunle. Can you discuss it again and consider your uncle?"

Old Mrs. Gu thought, since she has been so humble, Gu Yunxi should at least give her, her grandmother, some face, right?

However, Gu Yunxi shook her head and said, "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't. I don't open this shop by myself, but with the Yuan family."

"You know, the Yuan family can do carpentry. I am just responsible for the design. The shop is mainly opened by them, and they take the lion's share."

"The shop owner has already been decided. He is a member of the Yuan family. This cannot be changed."

Seeing Gu Yunxi say this, Old Lady Gu's face turned fierce and very ugly. She asked in confusion: "Where did the Yuan family get the money to open the shop? Did you pay for it?"

The Yuan family and the Gu family have been neighbors for so many years. How could she not know that the Yuan family had so much savings that they could afford to open a shop?

"What do you mean I paid for it? I've already said it, I was responsible for the design, the shop was rented, and the money was split equally between us." Gu Yunxi retorted immediately.

"I don't know how to do carpentry. I opened a shop with the Yuan family because they were attracted by my Ah Chuan's background. To put it bluntly, I made money."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu could only curl her lips unwillingly, glared at Gu Yunle, and turned away.

After Old Lady Gu left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Seeing this, Boss Gu hurriedly said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, no matter what's going on with your shop, don't let your second uncle be the shopkeeper."

"Your second uncle, what if he cheats you..."

Gu Yunxi looked at Gu Lao Da, only to see that his face was full of anxiety. He smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. I know what's going on. I won't let my second uncle be the shopkeeper."

After hearing what Gu Yunxi said, Boss Gu finally felt relieved.

In the next few days, Gu Yunxi came back every other day to check on Boss Gu's recovery and the progress of the Yuan family.

This batch of new furniture also needs cushioning, but not too much. Gu Yunle and Widow Cao can do it together.

After a few days, the Yuan family finished making the furniture, and Gu Yunle and Widow Cao also finished making the cushions.

Gu Yunxi instructed He Dachun to put on all the cushions, assemble them, and transport them all to the shop.

We chose a good day and opened the business.

The sound of firecrackers rang out as Gu Yunxi and the Yuan family stood in front of the shop scattering fruits and copper coins.

Shopkeeper Wu was the first to come to the store to present a gift, and his brother-in-law, Shopkeeper Xiao Yu, followed him and presented a gift.

Gu Yunxi didn't mention the other people, so there weren't many prominent people coming this time.

However, the copper coins and fruits that were generously distributed by the shop still attracted many customers to come in to visit the shop and try out the new furniture.

"Boss, how did you make this furniture? Why is it so comfortable to sit on? It's so soft!"

"Yes, yes, it feels really comfortable to sit on. It's totally different from the wooden chairs I have at home. Hey, shopkeeper, how much is this long chair? I want to buy one."

Gu Yunxi hurried over and explained, "Sir, this is called a sofa. It is a wooden chair with a special cushion added."

"This sofa in our store is just a display item. If you need to buy one, you must order it in advance. We will make it within five days and deliver it to your house."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they soon understood that if they asked a carpenter to make such a large piece of furniture, it would also have to be custom-made and would take several days to complete.

So the first customer asked directly: "Then please help me order one. How much is the silver? I will give it to you right away."

Gu Yunxi introduced with a smile: "Now that the new shop has opened, we have a special discount for the first ten people, only 50% off. The original total price was ten taels of silver, but now you can buy it for only five taels of silver."

"Sir, if you need it, the deposit is half of the silver, that is, two taels and five hundred coins. We will deliver it to your house in five days."

Upon hearing this, the customer felt as if he had gotten a great bargain, so he paid without hesitation and ordered a sofa to be made to order.

In addition, he went shopping for wardrobes, and seeing the cleverly designed wardrobes, he couldn't help but order two wardrobes custom-made.

Gu Yunxi entertained him with a smile, and took Gangzi with him, asking Gangzi to collect the money and keep track of the bill.

Other customers in the shop who originally just wanted to take a look were immediately attracted when they saw that someone had customized a sofa and the price was cheap.

You know, even if you make wooden furniture alone, a bench this big would cost three taels of silver using the cheapest wood.

With a little extra money, you can buy a high-quality, soft and comfortable upholstered sofa. Who doesn’t like that?

As a result, the furniture shop suddenly became noisy, with many people vying for custom-made sofas.

The ten places were quickly booked.

Those who didn't get in first couldn't help but beat their chests and regretted it so much. If they had known earlier, they would have made it custom-made and could have saved a full five taels of silver!

"Boss, we also want to order two sofas. Can you give us a discount?"

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, we also want to make one custom. The ones before are five taels of silver, and our ten taels is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"

Gu Yunxi looked at the shop and saw that there were still many people who wanted to order custom sofas. He rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you for trusting our shop. To thank you, our shop will give out ten more quotas. You only need five taels of silver to buy a comfortable cushioned sofa. First come, first served."

"The prices will return to the original prices if you buy later. Hurry up if you want to buy. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store!"

As Gu Yunxi finished speaking, people in the crowd rushed to shout to Gu Yunxi that they wanted to order custom-made sofas.

"Please line up, don't be anxious, come one by one." While collecting deposits, Yuan Gangzi tried his best to maintain order in the shop.

However, Gu Yunxi acted quickly. He asked them to pay the money, wrote down their names and addresses, issued them a receipt, and stamped it with the shop's seal.

One after another, they worked hard, and finally more than twenty people had ordered sofas.
