After some deliberation, Cai Wei decided to proceed with her plan. She approached the neighboring dim sum shop's boss, intending to buy his shop. To her surprise, the boss outright refused, asserting that his shop brought in almost two hundred taels of silver each year, which was the primary source of income for his entire family, hence he wouldn't sell it.
However, when Cai Wei placed a bill of three thousand taels on the table, the boss instantly changed his tone. He agreed to accommodate her request, on the grounds of helping her expand her operations.
Therefore, without much persuasion, the shop — having the same layout as hers including the backyard — was bought at a high price of three thousand taels. Upon receiving the house deed, Cai Wei sighed in relief. She could finally remove the evildoer from her room!
