The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"She is such a fool! For her own family, she has caused so much trouble to her husband's family! Now her family doesn't like her either..."

The carpenter's wife told Lin Zhi the gossip she had heard in vivid detail.

After Zhang Xiaohua's story spread on this street, it became a negative example that her husband's family often talked about.

Whenever the daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law in the family wants to go to her parents' home to get something or help with work, the in-laws will bring up Zhang Xiaohua to scare them:

"Look at Zhang Xiaohua, she only cared about her parents' home and ended up ruining her own fortune. Do you want to follow in her footsteps?"

Because of this incident, the daughters-in-law in the neighborhood were filled with resentment.

"So how is she doing now?" Lin Zhi asked, following the topic raised by the carpenter's wife.

"What else can she do? Manager Liu has left with the child, so she can only shamelessly turn to her brother for help..." said the carpenter's wife with a sigh.

Zhang Xiaohua, who had been enjoying a peaceful life at home, now played the role of a maid at her brother's place and lived a very miserable life.

"Zhang Xiaohua's brother is simply a beast! She was thrown into jail just because she helped his brother.

But this heartless guy not only didn't help his sister, but he also embezzled most of the money that Manager Liu had collected from all his family property and asked him to use his connections to rescue Zhang Xiaohua..."

The carpenter's wife said this indignantly, and at the same time felt very sorry for Liu Decai, thinking that he was really unlucky to have met such a pair of siblings and relatives.

Lin Zhi did not comment on this, but listened quietly.

After listening to all this gossip, he went home.

It was already late at night. If I didn't go back, the three little ones at home would probably be worried sick.

At this moment, all the employees in the store have packed up their stalls.

Everyone was busy washing the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs used today.

When the three little guys returned home, they found Lin Zhi was not there and there was no dinner, so they were very sensible and rolled up their sleeves, walked into the kitchen, and started to get busy.

"Boss, you're back?"

As soon as Sun Lai Di saw Lin Zhi, she immediately greeted him warmly. She had just packed up her things and was planning to go home, but she didn't expect to see Lin Zhi coming back before she even stepped out of the store.

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, indicating that they could go home.

Then she closed the gate and carefully checked whether the bolt was secure.

After all, after dark, the outside world may be full of various unknown dangers and hidden dangers.

In order to ensure the safety of your family, it is safer to close the door.

Just then, the three little ones happily brought out the delicious food.

At the dinner table, Daya couldn't wait to ask Lin Zhi where she had been just now.

Daya said with a worried look on her face: "Mom, if you don't come back, we are all ready to go out and look for you."

Lin Zhi smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry. I just went to the shop next door."

She did not hide anything and told everyone frankly: "In fact, I have bought the shop next door, but we told others that it was rented. You must not let anyone know about this."

Upon hearing the news, the three little ones opened their mouths in shock, and for a moment they even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

Although they knew that their mother had some savings privately, they never expected that she actually had such a huge fortune, enough to buy an entire shop!

Dalang secretly sighed in his heart...

No wonder his mother had always taught him not to place too much emphasis on money, it turned out it was because she herself was financially strong!

"So the shop next door belongs to our family now, too?"

Daya blinked her bright eyes and asked again to confirm in disbelief.

"Yes, it's ours." Lin Zhi shared his plan with them and continued, "When the time comes, we can break through the wall, so that all the items in the yard can be easily moved over there.

We still live here, after all, I have long been accustomed to everything in this home.

And the lobby over there is very spacious, if we can move the stall inside to operate...”

In contrast, current business locations are often exposed to wind and rain and are far less convenient and comfortable than having a fixed location.

Daya was very well-behaved and sensible, and quickly nodded and responded:

"Yes, that's what mother said. Everything is up to mother's arrangement."

At this time, Dalang could not contain his excitement and curiosity, and asked impatiently:

"Mom, can we go next door now?"

He was extremely excited about this sudden fortune.

However, Lin Zhi looked at the dark sky outside and shook his head, indicating that it was not appropriate to go and check at this moment.

Then she added: "It's dark now, and I can't see clearly what's going on around me. Wait until you have a holiday and then take a look slowly!"

In fact, the door had already been closed, and she really didn't want to get up and close it again.

Dalang showed obvious disappointment on his face, but he still answered obediently:

"All right……"

Seeing that Dalang was a little depressed, Lin Zhi quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, there are only a few days left before your vacation, so there is no need to rush."

After thinking for a while, Dalang thought that Lin Zhi was right, so he put the matter aside and turned to talk about things in the academy:

"It's almost holiday time, but I still have to take the exam for promotion before the holiday. I feel so nervous!"

You know, in the first month's assessment, Dalang was among the top!

This is the second test he faces.

As long as he successfully passes three such assessments, he will be promoted to Class B as he wishes!

The next two exams are crucial, so Dalang dare not take it lightly at all and naturally feels extremely nervous.

"Just try your best. It doesn't matter if you fail." Lin Zhi comforted.

"Failure is the mother of success." Lin Zhi said earnestly:

“Failure is not a bad thing. It can help us see our own shortcomings. As long as you can find what you lack in failure and improve and perfect it, then failure is sometimes more important than success.”

Daya raised her head and stared at Lin Zhi. It was the first time she heard such remarks.

In the past, she was always afraid of failure, thinking that failure was a shameful thing. Moreover, failure meant doing something wrong and she would face many accusations and abuses from the Yang family.

But now, after listening to her mother's words, she suddenly realized that failure was not a big deal.

"I know, mother." Dalang nodded, his eyes firm as he said, "I will do my best to fight for it. As for the result, let nature take its course."

Lin Zhi smiled with relief, then turned to look at Erlang who had remained silent, and asked softly:

"Ji Lang, what about you? Do you have confidence in your promotion?"
