The next day, Zhixin brought Jinghan to find Manager Sun, who actually agreed with their plan, so Zhixin consented to Jinghan taking over the restaurant. Jinghan, concerned that the well-located establishment might be snatched away by someone else, went straight to the county town with her father.
Heading directly for the restaurant, they found the owner and began discussing the lease. After a back-and-forth negotiation, they settled on a final price of 760 taels. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhixin left a deposit of 100 taels, and the parties agreed to draw up the contract the next day with witnesses present.
Having made progress, Jinghan was very happy, and the father-daughter duo went to Pengcheng's home.
Early the next morning, Zhixin and Jinghan brought some gifts and first visited the Lu family. Now that they were relatives, and since their last visit had been so rushed that they hadn't had the chance to call on them, of course they had to pay a visit this time.
