Ye Xiuying nodded, and Wen Qingcheng sighed slightly: "A fine of fifty taels, the people from the Fire Administration are quite cruel."

Uncle San had heard what Wen Zhuo said a long time ago, and he felt that the fine of fifty taels was a bit too heavy. It wasn't a fire, and it was his first time opening a medicine shop, so he didn't know. "For this kind of fire prevention, the Fire Administration will fine you from one tael to fifty taels. Generally, only when you fail to correct the problem after many times or the situation is serious will you be fined the maximum of fifty taels. I think someone must have made up their mind."

"Ah, I know without thinking that it was Wang Ji who did it."

"That's it. I think Wang Ji's people told them that your family has plenty of money, so the Fire Administration Department will punish you according to the highest standard. In fact, isn't it up to them to decide what the standard is?"

Ye Xiuying said worriedly, "Uncle San, if he keeps coming here to cause trouble, he will be fined until his family is bankrupt."

"I'm here to discuss this matter with you. Generally, the Fire Administration will not investigate every other day unless someone reports it. The root cause of this matter lies with Wang Ji, and we must eliminate this enemy, Wang Ji." Uncle San said fairly.

"It's not that easy. Wang's is a wealthy family. How can we destroy them?" Ye Xiuying said dejectedly.

"Listen to me, actually turning enemies into friends is also a way to destroy them." Uncle San said fairly.

Wen Qingcheng's eyes, which had been bright, dimmed again, "How could I possibly become friends with Wang Yunxi?"

"Qingcheng, it's a pity that our Wen family has no background. You will not gain anything by being an enemy of Wang Ji. Now is not the time to be ambitious."

"Uncle San, you don't know Wang Yunxi. I didn't offend her because of anything I did. She just doesn't like me. This is not my problem, it's her problem. Even if I humbly ask for peace, she won't really make peace with me. Instead, she will be very proud and humiliate me."

When Third Uncle heard about this situation, he felt that seeking peace was not a solution, so he said, "Let's solve the current problem first. Fifty taels of silver is too heavy a fine. I had an apprentice before, and he is now in the Fire Administration. Although we don't contact each other much, he still comes to see me during the New Year and other holidays. Tomorrow I will go with you and ask him to make some arrangements to see if we can turn things around."

When Ye Xiuying heard this, she showed joy on her face: "Uncle San, it would be great if this could be turned around. It's not easy to earn this little money. If this can be accomplished, I will thank you, Uncle San, with ten taels of silver."

Third Uncle waved his hand, "Azhuo and Song Jiao both earn money from you, why are you thanking me for money? It's our own business. However, we still need to take care of it at the Fire Administration."

Wen Qingcheng nodded, "That's right, Third Uncle, I'll leave it to you. Let's just get through this first."

"Okay, get ready, we'll go there early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I will pick you up at your doorstep at 2:15 tomorrow morning." Wen Qingcheng said with a smile.

After dinner, Wen Qingcheng still felt depressed. She came to the rooftop garden alone to enjoy the night breeze, lying on a bamboo lounge chair, looking at the starry sky. Suddenly, she remembered that when Mo Jinghong was here, they each had a lounge chair on the rooftop to look at the stars.

"Brother Mo, I miss you so much, will you come back..." Wen Qingcheng's vision became blurred. She felt really helpless now, reborn as a person from the lower class, without a family background, relying entirely on herself to work hard, it was really difficult for ordinary people to start a business.

Even if the Fire Department issue was resolved this time, what would happen in the future? Wang Yunxi was thinking about how to harm her every day, and she was really tired. Thinking back to when Mo Jinghong was around, even if he did nothing, as long as he stayed by her side, she felt at ease.

"I was wondering why it was going to rain. Turns out it was a little cat crying here." A pleasant male voice sounded from the side.

Wen Qingcheng knew in her heart that it was Yinfu, so she held back her tears. She didn't want others to see her vulnerability.

"Yinfu, you're here." Wen Qingcheng changed her tone to a relaxed one.

Yinfu suddenly felt bitter in his heart. Wen Qingcheng was clearly sad, but she had to force herself to smile in front of others. She was so strong that it made people feel distressed. Just now, I clearly heard her calling Mo Jinghong's name. She was just a 17-year-old girl. She didn't need to be so strong.

"You don't have to pretend. Cry if you want to cry and laugh if you want to laugh." Yinfu sighed slightly.

When Wen Qingcheng saw the hidden bat and thought of Mo Jinghong, her heart felt sour and bitter that she couldn't hold back her tears.

Yinfu raised his foot to take a step forward, but then stepped back, remembering that he was just a shadow guard and not even qualified to lend her his shoulder to lean on.

"Miss Wen..."

"Hmm?" Wen Qingcheng responded subconsciously, and felt that she had lost her composure. She quickly turned around, wiped the tears from her face, and adjusted her breathing.

"I'll take you to Kyoto. The young master will be happy to see you."

Wen Qingcheng smiled dejectedly: "Yinfu, you also think I'm a failure, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Yinfu knew Wen Qingcheng's situation very well and understood what she meant.

"You say... can someone like me accomplish anything?" Wen Qingcheng suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration. Perhaps it was because she had been learning all her life in her previous life. She had just started working for a few years and her circle was very small and simple. There were not so many things to do. Later, zombies broke out, and she had to research drugs to fight the zombie virus while fleeing. Survival and scientific research were what she had to face every day.

Now, she has to take care of her family and start her own business. She has so many relatives and friends who believe in her and support her. She promised to make them live a good life. She doesn't want to let them down. However, since the opening of the business, troubles have come one after another. Is it her own problem, or bad luck, or maybe it is the norm of life that things don't go smoothly.

Yinfu felt that Wen Qingcheng at this moment was very different from usual. Tonight, her childish face was full of vicissitudes of life.

"The Wen Qingcheng I know is always quirky, high-spirited, and has her life under control. Even when she occasionally fails, she faces it with a smile."

Wen Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Really? But I was also an ordinary person before, and I have tried my best to live a good life."

Yinfu remained silent and listened quietly to Wen Qingcheng's confession.

Wen Qingcheng was talking about herself in her previous life. She was just an ordinary person in the end times. After being reborn in this world, she had to familiarize herself with all the rules again. It was not easy to thrive here. However, her memories of her previous life were not lost. She still had a set of skills and her own space.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingcheng felt a little relieved. "I was just frustrated for a moment. I'm sure you know about Wen Ji's matter. I wasn't upset about this matter. I was upset because of all the troubles that happened recently. But I feel much better after talking to you for a while."

"That's good." Yinfu felt relieved.

Wen Qingcheng regained her usual lively tone and said jokingly, "If I really fail in my business, I will follow you to Kyoto to seek refuge with Brother Mo."

"You will succeed." Yinfu said confidently. He didn't know why, but he felt that Wen Qingcheng could do it. She had the courage and endurance, as well as the talent. In his eyes, Wen Qingcheng was an ambitious person, a crazy student, always full of passion and fighting spirit, which formed a strong contrast with her weak appearance. This was also the reason why he liked... admired Wen Qingcheng.
