Jiang Yutong thought that Liu Lexian had a wide network of contacts and might be able to give her some advice.

When Liu Lexian saw what Jiang Yutong took out, his eyes lit up. "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to have so many things in her head. This soap is really something good."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I usually like to think about things."

"I wonder if Miss Jiang wants to find someone to cooperate with?"

Jiang Yutong was silent for a moment. "To be honest, I really want to find someone to cooperate with, but after the MSG incident, I'm a little hesitant."

Liu Lexian understood, "Then Miss Jiang can ask me for help if she needs it."

Jiang Yutong and Liu Lexian said goodbye. This matter could not be rushed and they had to take it step by step.

Jiang Yutong had a new idea. After leaving, he told the shopkeeper Liu, "Please ask the shopkeeper Liu to arrange for the broker to come over and see me."

Shopkeeper Liu quickly called someone over. Jiang Yutong explained her requirements to the broker. As expected of someone in this line of work, the broker quickly listed several houses that met her requirements. "Miss Jiang, you can go take a look first. If you find one that suits your taste, we can negotiate the price."

Jiang Yutong followed Yazi to see the first house.

The first house was not big, but it was located in the center of the county town, with good geographical conditions and a high price.

"Miss Jiang, what do you think of this place?"

Jiang Yutong frowned, "This price is indeed a bit high."

Yazi smiled and said, "Young lady, look at this location and this yard. They are all carefully maintained. If the owner of the house was not leaving Yinbai County, you wouldn't be able to buy it at this price."

Jiang Yutong didn't comment. "Let's go somewhere else and have a look. It doesn't matter whether this house is old or new. I'll have other plans when the time comes."

Yazi took Jiang Yutong to see a few more places, but Jiang Yutong was not completely satisfied with any of them.

Seeing that Jiang Yutong hadn't found a suitable one, Yazi said, "I have a place that quite meets Miss Jiang's requirements."

Then he took Jiang Yutong to walk a few streets and arrived at another house. This house was bigger than the previous one, but not as new as the previous one. If they wanted to move in, they would have to spend more money on repairs.

Jiang Yutong followed the escort into the house, where there was a row of inverted courtyard rooms. Going further in through the hanging flower gate, there were east and west wing rooms on both sides, and a large courtyard in the middle. There were two pomegranate trees planted in the middle of the courtyard, which were now full of small red flowers.

After passing the corridor, they came to the main house. There was a backyard behind it. Jiang Yutong was quite satisfied. For the time being, such a large place was enough for some soap processing. When Ding Lan's sisters-in-law came to work, they would also have a place to stay.

Jiang Yutong pretended to be disgusted and said, "Although this yard is big, it is too dilapidated. If I buy it, it will cost a lot of money to repair it. It's not worth it."

Yazi forced a smile. "Although it's a bit run-down, it's big and in a good location. The price is negotiable."

This yard has been in my hands for a long time, and no one has shown interest in it. The seller is also in a hurry to sell it. If Jiang Yutong is interested in it, the price can indeed be reduced a lot.

Jiang Yutong asked casually, "How much silver?"

The broker gestured, "500 taels."

Jiang Yutong shook her head. Although the price was a little lower than the previous house, it was still too high. "This price is indeed a bit expensive."

Jiang Yutong had quite a bit of money in her hands, having sold MSG for so long, and also had some money Xiao Yifeng had given her before. If the recipe couldn't be sold, she would have to keep some money as start-up capital.

By then, the shop and labor will cost a lot of money.

Seeing that Jiang Yutong was interested, Yazi said, "If the girl really wants it, I'll find the seller and negotiate the price."

Jiang Yutong directly told the broker the price he had in mind, "300 taels. If it works, just tell Manager Liu the news when the time comes."

The broker didn't expect Jiang Yutong to lower the price so much. "Miss, this price is definitely not acceptable. Make another offer."

"Go contact them first."

Jiang Yutong didn't look at him again and turned to leave the yard.

While it was still early, Jiang Yutong walked around the yard and sat under a big banyan tree for a while. There were a few uncles and aunts sitting under it to rest. Jiang Yutong asked casually, and unexpectedly, he actually got some information out of it.

After getting what he wanted, Jiang Yutong walked around the streets of the county town to see if there was a suitable shop.

As she was walking, a person was suddenly pushed out of the shop in front and fell at her feet.

"Get out, get out, get out! Don't show up in front of us again! This shop is ours! If you come again, we'll report you to the police."

After saying that, the shop door closed directly. Jiang Yutong looked up and saw that it was a shop selling women's rouge and powder, and the person pushed down was a woman.

Jiang Yutong helped the man up and asked, "Are you okay?"

The woman lowered her head, hugged her bag, stood up, and just shook her head.

Jiang Yutong helped pick up the scattered items on the ground. Various boxes fell to the ground. "What are you doing?"

Judging from the shape, they should be rouge and powder boxes.

The woman was frantically holding things, picking up this and dropping that. Jiang Yutong simply helped her pick up some, "Sister-in-law, where are you going? I'll help you."

The woman shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Jiang Yutong rearranged the cloth bag in the woman's hand, tied a knot, and returned it to the woman.

The woman seemed to have lost her soul. She picked up the cloth bag and walked forward. Jiang Yutong was worried and followed her.

The woman walked to the river surface, holding a cloth bag, and stared at the river without saying a word. Jiang Yutong was tired of standing for a long time and was about to go forward when he saw the woman stepping onto the bridge.

Oh no, this is suicide.

Jiang Yutong ran up and hugged her, "Sister-in-law, why are you so depressed? No matter how difficult life is, you can't end your life so easily."

The woman's abnormality had already attracted other people, and some people came forward to help Jiang Yutong rescue people.

When the person was carried down from the bridge, the woman burst into tears.

The crying attracted more people.

"Isn't this the former owner of Ningxiang Pavilion? How did he end up like this?"

"You may not know this yet, but Ningxiang Pavilion was sold by her husband, who ran away with his concubine, leaving her alone. She lost everything overnight."

"What a sin."

"I also heard that even her daughter was sold. Now she goes to the former Ningxiang Pavilion every day to make trouble. She was kicked out by the shopkeeper."

"If it were me, I'd just die. I can't live like this anymore."

Jiang Yutong glared at the person who spoke. She didn't expect him to be so miserable. "Sister-in-law, why bother to end your own life? Your daughter might still be waiting for you to save her."

Just these words brought the crying woman back to her senses. She wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I can't die. My Nini is still waiting for me. I have to raise money to save her."

Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief and half-helped the woman up. "Come on, I'll take you to wash up and change clothes. If there's anything, we can discuss it in detail."

The woman had recovered and thanked Jiang Yutong solemnly, "Thank you for saving my life."

Jiang Yutong quickly helped him up, "You're welcome."

The woman declined Jiang Yutong's kindness and left.

Jiang Yutong shouted from behind, "Think about your daughter. No matter how difficult it is, you must live."

The woman turned around, nodded heavily at Jiang Yutong, then held her head high and chest out, and walked away resolutely.
