Yan Mingkun came to visit on that day itself, and found that Yunyu was not there. There was only Yun Sheng there. Yun Sheng stood at the door of the courtyard and saw the father and son pair, “Mr. Yan, how can I help you?”
“Student Yun, we are here to apologize,” Yan Mingkun’s attitude was sincere, “Because of the matter at school, I want to make a serious apology to you. Besides, I would also like to meet your second sister. Tianlang shouldn’t have fought with her at school before, so I would also like to apologize to your second sister in person.” His attitude was humble, and he did not dare to be rude just because Yun Sheng was a student.
Yun Sheng told the truth, “Mr. Yan, I’m sorry. My second sister is not at home today.”
Yan Mingkun wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Student Yun, I don’t know if you would mind letting us go in and wait for your second sister to come back?”
There’s nothing to mind. Yun Sheng invited them into the living room to sit down and poured them some tea, “Mr. Yan, please drink some water.” After all, they were guests, and Yun Sheng could not just leave them in the living room. So, he sat down and chatted with Yan Mingkun unhurriedly.
They waited for a long while. When the sun was starting to set, Yunyu and Grandma Yun finally came back. They had already rented the store and bought pots and pans and various steamers and stoves for steaming buns, all of which were paid by Yunyu. She had more than 50,000 yuan in her card. It was from when she helped the child find his parents when she was in the capital and from the 10,000 yuan received from the Lius a few days ago. She had donated half of the amount received from the Lius but the amount she had on hand was still enough to pay the rent and other miscellaneous items .
Yunyu was not surprised when she came home to see the Yan father and son. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and hands before returning, “Mr. Yan, you are here for…?”

Yan Mingkun got up, “Miss Yun, I am here with Tianlang to apologize to both of you. It was because of him that Student Yun was hurt. Also, Tianlang shouldn’t have rushed up to you at the school gate the other time. I’ve already taught him a lesson when we got back.”
Yunyu did not appreciate it, “Mr. Yan , since you have already apologized, please go back.”
Yan Tianlang moved his lower lip and wanted to say something, but Yan Mingkun dragged him along to leave, “Miss Yun, then we won’t bother you. Goodbye.”
The father and son pair went out the door, and Yan Tianlang asked, “Dad, why didn’t you let me ask her about the ghost matter.”
Yan Mingkun sighed, “Have you heard the story of Liu Bei’s three visits to the cottage? How can one succeed so easily? If this girl from the Yun family is really capable, do you still want to make another move when you come to the door (T/N: aka do you want her to cruse you again because you annoyed her)? Let’s take it slow. Anyways, there is no hurry for the next two days.”
Grandma Yun had just walked from the kitchen to the living room and found that the guests had left. She asked strangely, “Did they leave so soon?”
Yunyu smiled, “Grandma, it’s nothing. They are probably here to apologize, and left after apologizing.”
Grandma Yun looked at the things on the ground. Some very expensive tea leaves and a box of sea cucumbers. She could not help but nag, “It’s just apologizing. Why did they give us these things too? Let’s return these back to them. Our family doesn’t need these at home.”
“Grandma, it’s alright. Leave it for now,” Yunyu did not care, “They will come to the door again in a few days.”
Grandma Yun did not bother to know the reason and Yunyu did not explain. After dinner, Yunyu helped with the chores then went to bed.
The next day, the two of them went to the store to clean up. The store was quite big. It used to be a snack business. The tables, chairs, and benches inside were quite new, and they were made of wood. The floors were also tiled and the walls had wallpapers. The whole store was renovated nicely. The kitchen and storeroom were at the back. The storeroom had a small attic, and people could sleep in it at night. There was a small yard outside the kitchen, and a residential area behind it. It was quite clean.
Yunyu also found an advertising shop in the town to make a sign, Yunji Steamed Buns.
Everything was almost ready, so Grandma Yun brought all the wheat at home to be ground into flour, and Yun Sheng used a small three-wheeler to transport the flour and vegetables to the store.
Tricycle (T/N: or three wheeled cart I guess) 三轮车 Sānlúnchē
The advertising shop was also very quick, and the signboard was installed in one afternoon.
Grandma Yun and Yunyu did not go back in the evening. The two were busy making stuffings for the steamed buns. Opening a breakfast shop was a tiring job, but Yunyu did not plan on letting Grandma Yun do it all day. It would only take half a day to sell the steamed buns. Tomorrow was the first day the store would be open, so it would be quite busy. Though it was called a steamed bun store, if the business was good, Yunyu planned to sell other food too.

The two were busy with preparations till late at night.
It was quite tiring. Yunyu’s steamed buns were really not good-looking, so the buns were all made by Grandma Yun alone.
Yunyu planned on hiring some help if the business was good.
Today Yun Sheng was at home. With him taking care of Mother Yun, the two of them did not go back to the village. They stayed in the small attic in the storeroom. Grandma Yun was very happy and chatted with Yunyu.
“Xiao Yu’er, when grandma makes money, I’ll buy you a house, One for each one of you three siblings. Nowadays, the girl’s family must also have their own house, or else they won’t be able to get married.”
“Okay, grandma.”
” Xiao Yu’er, when grandma makes a lot of money, I will buy you a gold necklace and bracelet as a dowry. Let our girl get married in a spectacular manner.”
Yunyu acted coquettishly next to Grandma Yun, “Grandma, I’m only twenty-two years old. I’m not in a hurry to get married. What’s more, I currently don’t even have a boyfriend.”
Grandma Yun joked, “Marriage is destined by heaven, and things like marriage can be uncertain. Maybe our Xiao Yu’er will meet a good man and marry this year.”
“Then grandma, don’t be reluctant to part with your granddaughter at that time,” Yunyu also knew that Grandma Yun was joking. The grandmother and granddaughter pair fell asleep while chatting.
The next day, they got up at 4 am. Yunyu woke up due to her biological clock, and Grandma Yun also got up with her because she had to start steaming the buns.
At 6 am, the white and plump buns were out of the pot. When the lid was lifted, the fragrance could spread out all over the street.
Some people were already on the way to work at 6 something. There was a crossroad not far from the steamed bun store, and there was a lot of human traffic. Many people did not really like to eat buns for breakfast, but when they passed by this bun shop, the smell was really too seductive. There was a strong aroma of wheat and vegetables. Some people could not help but to come over, “Boss, how much are you selling these buns? What kind of flavors are there? Why didn’t you indicate what kind of stuffings are there?”
Grandma Yun smiled, “There are only three kinds of buns that our family makes. There are leeks and eggs, eggplant and cabbage stuffing. Each for 1 yuan.”
“It’s more expensive than others. Are they all vegetarian stuffings? Alright then. Just pack up any 2 for me.”
Yunyu quickly put two buns in a bag for the customer. The customer held the hot buns, took a bite and immediately turned back around, “Boss, pack 5 more buns for me.” How could buns be this delicious? No wonder it cost 1 yuan. Now, he felt that 1 yuan was not much. SImply eating a bowl of plain noodles would have cost 5 yuan. o eat a bowl of plain noodles. This bun had thin skin and ample stuffing, but the key thing was the flavor.
5 more were packed for this guest, and the guest also praised, “The buns made by the boss are really too delicious. Your business will surely be booming.”
Yunyu also said with a smile, “The guest has a good complexion and a ruddy face today. Your list will definitely be successful.”
The guest laughed, “Then, I’ll borrow the boss’s kind words.” He had been talking to the client on hand for nearly half a month. The client was picky, and he was at his limit. But, how did this little boss know that he was going to talk business with customers today?

After the first customer left, many people passed by one after another. All of them could not help but buy two buns to try because of the fragrance. After a taste, they all turned back to buy a few more.
By 8 or 9 o’clock in the morning, all the buns were sold out. This was mainly because there were not many buns, only a few hundred buns, as there was only Grandma Yun and Yunyu making them. Grandma Yun saw that the business was doing well, so she planned to hire someone first. Her daughter-in-law’s legs were inconvenient. It will take at least a month of physiotherapy before she could move it, but it could not cure the root of the disease.
Yunyu wrote the recruitment notice and posted it at the door, leaving her phone number. After that, she went back to the village with Grandma Yun.
There were a lot of things to do at home. The tricycle was borrowed from others which was not very convenient. Yunyu planned on buying a bigger tricycle, as it would be more convenient to deliver food and noodles to the store in the future.
She bought it in the afternoon. Just after she bought it, someone called her. It was someone applying for the job. The person spoke in a very gentle female voice.
Yunyu asked her to wait for a while, and she quickly went to the store. When she arrived, she found a woman in her thirties standing in front of the store dressed neatly. It turned out to be someone Yunyu knew. The lady was from Qinghe Village, called Zhao Siting.
Zhao Siting also recognized Yunyu and said with a blushing face, “Yunyu, it turned out that your your family is recruiting people.”
Yunyu nodded. She was very aware of Zhao Siting’s situation. She was a pitiful person. She was 30 years old this year and brought her daughter along when she divorced her husband. The reason for the divorce was very simple. When she gave birth to her daughter, she was bleeding out. When her mother-in-law heard the doctor suggest removing her uterus due to the internal bleeding, her mother-in-law did not agree, saying how could she give birth to a boy after the uterus was removed. At that time, the situation was serious. Only by removing her uterus can her life be saved. Fortunately, her parents were there. They signed the consent form on the spot. Finally, the uterus was removed and her life was saved.
How can a mother-in-law want a daughter-in-law who could not have any more children. Before the confinement period was over, her mother-in-law started pestering for a divorce. Zhao Siting had carried out her confinement period in her own parents’ house.
Although the villagers did not approve of the easy divorce of young people nowadays, Zhao Siting’s situation was different. Mother Zhao was very aware of the fate of her daughter if she did not have the divorce, so she also approved of her daughter’s divorce.
The divorce was also a messy one. The husband’s family wanted to take the child away. Mother Zhao just said that if she dared to take the child away, then they would not go through with the divorced. She took her daughter and granddaughter to live with her husband’s house. In the end, the husband’s family were afraid that the situation would escalate so they agreed to give the baby girl to Zhao Siting.
This happened two years ago. Now, Zhao Siting lives in Qinghe Village. She had an elder brother and sister-in-law, but they were living in the city. They were also very supportive of her divorce.
Zhao Siting’s daughter was called Zhao Mengmeng, a very cute little girl who was only 2 years old. Before, she never looked for a job because she was busing taking care of her child. Now that the child was a little older, she wanted to come out to work. Her qualifications were not very high and she was a housewife for quite a few years and had not come out to work for a while now. So, she did not know what to do. When she saw that the steamed bun shop was recruiting, she decided to give it a try.
Yunyu looked at her face. She saw that she was a little introverted, but she could bear hardships and stand hard work. Seeing that she had a good character, Yunyu said, “Sister Siting, the work here is very hard. You will have to be here by 4 am and later when there are more customers, we may need you to work overtime and may only be able to get off work at noon. The salary would be 2,000 yuan a month. Sister Siting, would you take the job?”
The salary of 2,000 yuan in the town was already quite good. What’s more, she only had to work in the morning and could rest in the afternoon and at night. She would have more time to spend with her daughter.
Zhao Siting nodded, “Mengmeng has grown up and can sleep through the night. My mother will be fine caring for her. Yunyu, can I come to work here?”
Yunyu smiled, “Of course.”
After recruiting some help, things were much easier. Grandma Yun bought a lot of pork belly from the village’s butcher. She only bought the meat from the pigs raised in the village, and not the commercialized feed pigs. This way the meat would be full of flavor.
The next day, after the buns were done steaming, there were quite a few customers who came by. They were all old customers from the day before. There were also some who were introduced by family members who had it the day before.
Yunyu was not too idle either. She helped to pick vegetables and wash them.
———————————————————————————————————————-
After about 2 or 3 days, Yan Tianlang and Pi Tianlei were about to have a nervous breakdown. The female ghost probably knew that they could see her, and she always liked to run around in front of them at night. They were almost scared to death.
Yan Tianlang could not bear it anymore, so he asked his father to take 2 days off to visit the Yun house again.
Yunyu was at home that day.
After the bun shop’s business became regular, there were not that many things to do. Every day the buns were sold until 10 in the morning and the shop would close after that. Then, they cleaned up the shop and washed the vegetables needed for the next day. After mincing the pork, the preparation would just about be done. The next day, at 3 am, Grandma Yun would wake up to prepare the dough. At 4 am, Zhao Siting also came over to help knead the dough, cut the vegetables and wrap the buns.

There was nothing much that Yunyu could do. She delivered the vegetables and meat to the store every day. If there was anything she could help with, she would lend a hand.
Their meat buns cost 2 yuan a piece, and the sales were also very good. Sometimes their buns would be sold out by 9 am.
When Yan Mingkun led Yan Tianlang to the door again, Yunyu did not say anything. She sent them away with a few polite words.
Yan Mingkun deserves to be a businessman as he was still able to keep his composure. On Sunday, he brought his son to visit again with a generous gift. He did not dare to sit in the living room, and his tone was extremely polite, “Miss Yun, the incident before was all Tianlang’s fault. Before. He deserved whatever punishment he got.”
Yunyu pointed to the sofa, “Mr. Yan, you guys can sit down. You coming here so many times is not just to apologize, right? Is there anything else?”
Two or three times was about it. Yunyu could see that this father and son pair were both sincere.
Yan Mingkun sat down and said respectfully, “Miss Yun, it’s like this. My son has been seeing ghosts recently…”
Yun Yu smiled and said, “What does Mr. Yan mean? Seeing ghosts? Mr. Yan is also a highly educated person. Is it possible that you still believe this? Or do you think your son seeing ghosts has something to do with me? Otherwise, why would you come to my house and tell me this.”
“No, no,” Yan Mingkun repeatedly denied, “Of course it has nothing to do with Miss Yun. I just heard that Miss Yun knows how to look at Feng Shui, so I wanted to invite Ms Yun over to help me. I am willing to give a large compensation.” How would he dare say that his son seeing ghosts had anything to do with her.
Actually, this was also a coincidence. A few days ago, he was still skeptical about whether the girl from the Yun family understood Feng Shui. However, a few days ago, he heard something from his wife.
She said that a few days ago, one of her aunts went to visit some relatives. The relatives were surnamed Liu and the Lui family had a child. When they were eating, they left the child on the bed. Who would have known that the child would fall and hit his head. He bled quite a lot and Grandma Liu was scared to the point of fainting. When the child was sent to the hospital to be patched, they heard from Grandma Liu that the child fell off the bed because of a Feng Shui master. It turned out that the child initially always cried and did not eat well. They coincidentally met a Feng Shui master who helped solve the matter. After changing the child’s name, the child stopped crying that night.
However, the Liu family was greedy for money and wanted to rescind the remuneration for the Feng Shui masters. As a result, the child had an accident.
They transferred the reward money the very day.
Hearing this, Yan Mingkun asked his wife to ask her aunt for the Liu family’s contact number. After asking carefully about the appearance of the Feng Shui master, he found that the description matched Yunyu.
It was only then that he realized that this little girl from the Yun family was really an expert.
Yunyu felt that the Yan family had a good attitude. Anyway, it was just to teach Yan Tianlang a lesson. Frightening him for about 10 days about it. Solving his problem now would also earn her a reward. So, why would she not do it?
“Okay, you sit down for a while. I’ll go get the things ready,” Yunyu got up and went back to her room.
The Yan family’s father and son felt like they were dreaming. Who would have thought that Yunyu would finally agree this time.
Yan Tianlang was apprehensive, not knowing how she would help him solve it.
Yunyu came out quickly holding a yellow talisman folded into a triangle in her hand. It was a blank talisman paper she had bought but had not drawn on yet.
After pouring a cup of warm water, Yunyu burned the talisman paper in her hand and swept the ashes into the glass. She handed it to Yan Tianlang and said, “Here, drink it.”
In fact, there was no actual use of drinking ‘talisman water’. This was such a small matter. When she got up just now, she had already led out the yin energy and dissipated it. But to avoid seeming like she did nothing, she burned a talisman to fool them. She also did it deliberately, wanting Yan Tianlang to have a long memory.

The reason why she was willing to help the Yan family was because when she read the faces of the father and son pair, she could see that they had kind faces and were not evil people. Yan Tianlang was young and impulsive, while Yan Mingkun’s success did not come easy and he knew how to cherish it. He had done quite a few charitable acts all these years. She read that there would be noble people helping him during the big disaster in his life.
Although Yan Tianlang had some donuts. Could a glass of talisman water be enough to slove his problem? But he did not dare to question Yunyu. Without saying a word, he picked up the talisman water and drank it.
Seeing his misery, Yunyu said, “It’s done. Remember not to act so impulsively in the future.”
Yan Tianlang nodded silently.
“Master Yun, thank you very much.” Yan Tiankun repeatedly thanked her. Although he did not see anything, the master took action, the matter would definitely be resolved. Now, he has directly changed the way he addressed her to master.
He asked for Yunyu’s bank account number, and directly transferred Yunyu 100,000 yuan.
Although there was a problem with the project, hundreds of thousands to millions were still small amounts for him. He was still able to fork it out.
Yunyu was also happy to see him giving money so easily. People like the Liu family were really annoying.
“Master Yun, there is one more thing,” Yan Mingkun hesitated for a while and finally said, “Master Yun should have also heard that I have a project in the town, and that I want to build a villa area. However, many people have died one after another as soon as the construction started. I had no choice but to invite masters and Taoist priests to solve it, but none of them could resolve it. They were even injured because of it. So, I would like to invite Master to help me take a look. If you are willing, I am willing to pay a lot of money.”
Yunyu raised his eyebrows and said, “I know about the matter. The other time, I was thinking of helping you take a look and left my phone number at the construction site. But who knows why no one reached out to me.”
Yan Mingkun’s face turned green when he heard this. He almost broke his leg for this matter. It was a wonder he had not worried to death. Little did he know that he had just missed Master Yun like this.
“Yes, it’s like this. After the accident on the construction site, there was only one Lao Li (T/N: Old Li) guarding it. He was afraid that people would steal things. The place is really evil. Within two days, Lao Li also broke his leg and went home to recuperate. So far, no one dares to go to the construction site. Even I don’t dare to go. It must be that Lao Li who didn’t tell me about Master’s visit,” Yan Mingkun explained honestly.
“Okay, tomorrow is Sunday. I’ll accompany you to the construction site to see what’s going on.” Yunyu got up to see off the guests.
