Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

For several days in a row, Lian Rongrong did not set up her stall again. It was not because Lian Rongrong was discouraged or frustrated, but because she knew that doing business in such a hidden and dodging manner was not a long-term solution.

Although no business was being conducted, Rongrong was not idle either.

During the few days she wasn't setting up her stall, Lian Rongrong traveled around trying to find other places besides Feishui Town that were suitable for setting up a stall and doing business.

However, as Ruan Nianzhi said, Feishui Town is indeed the most prosperous place among the villages and towns surrounding Liangye City.

Even after visiting several nearby towns, Lian Rongrong found that none of them had a business environment as good as Feishui Town.

But when Lian Rongrong returned to Feishui Town, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Ruan Nianzhi had said that Feishui Town was prosperous because it was the only way to Liangye City.

If a small town we pass through along the way is like this, what about Liangye City?

Thinking of this, Lian Rongrong suddenly changed direction. Although it was already evening, the new idea excited her.

She was going to Liangye City to find out what was going on; perhaps that would be where she would start a new life.

When Lian Rongrong arrived in Liangye City, it was already getting dark, but Liangye City was still brightly lit.

Unlike the various villages and towns under its jurisdiction, the people in Liangye City are less simple and honest, and more aristocratic.

People were dressed in luxurious clothes, and the men laughed loudly and talked at length.

The woman held a silk handkerchief in her hand, exuding elegance and nobility as she chatted and laughed.

Standing in the middle of the street, Lian Rongrong looked around. Just as she had expected, this place was far more prosperous than Feishui Town.

The streets are lined with all sorts of shops: taverns, teahouses, clothing stores, brothels... you name it, they have it.

Moreover, the cries of street vendors could be heard constantly in the streets and alleys.

The fact that Liangye City could still have such a scene at this hour shows that the city is extremely inclusive.

Lian Rongrong immediately decided to continue her lobster business from here.

After making up her mind, Lian Rongrong left the city.

The journey back to the city was a good twenty miles, but Lian Rongrong was so happy that she didn't care at all.

As Lian Rongrong walked, she mentally planned her next steps. Such a long journey made daily round trips impractical.

Therefore, if you want to do business in Liangye City, you have no choice but to move there.

This is the most difficult thing right now. Lian Rongrong suddenly stopped, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowing slightly, and then she murmured to herself:

"If we move to Liangye City, what will happen to Mother? We can't really leave her with Brother Ruan."

Just as Lian Rongrong was feeling troubled, an urgent call suddenly came from afar.

"Rong Rong!"

"Lian Rongrong!"

"Rong Rong!"

Lian Rongrong listened closely and recognized the voices of her sister-in-law and Ruan Nianzhi. Looking at the time, she realized that her prolonged absence must have caused everyone concern.

"I'm here!" Lian Rongrong shouted back as she hurried toward the direction of the sound.

Lin Chuyue and Ruan Nianzhi also heard Lian Rongrong's voice. The three of them walked towards each other and soon gathered together.

"You silly girl, why aren't you home yet!" Ruan Nianzhi couldn't help but scold Lian Rongrong as soon as she saw her.

Lin Chuyue immediately stepped forward to check if Lian Rongrong was alright.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, brother Ruan, I'm fine! My hand is perfectly fine, who could hurt me?"

I just had a sudden whim and went to Liangye City.

"Liangye City?" Lin Chuyue asked in surprise.

Lian Rongrong nodded, "Yes, Feishui Town can't accommodate us anymore, so I thought about it and the only place that can be more prosperous than Feishui Town is Liangye City."

Seeing that Lian Rongrong was alright, Ruan Nianzhi calmed down as well. When Lian Rongrong mentioned Liangye City, Ruan Nianzhi guessed that the girl must have a new plan.

"You want to go to Liangye City to start a crayfish business?" Ruan Nianzhi asked.

Lian Rongrong nodded and replied "Yes," then continued to explain:

"I saw it today, and Liangye City's commerce can be considered quite prosperous. If I could do business there, it would surely be successful."

only……"

Lian Rongrong glanced at Ruan Nianzhi with some embarrassment, but was too embarrassed to say what she was about to say.

"But what? Are you worried that the distance is too far?" Ruan Nianzhi guessed.

"It's really too far. It's impossible to travel back and forth every day like we did in Feishui Town before. So, we can only find a place to stay in Liangye City."

"Then let's look in Liangye City." Lin Chuyue unconditionally supported her younger sister's decision.

"But..." Lian Rongrong still looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

This time, Ruan Nianzhi finally understood what Lian Rongrong was struggling with. He smiled slightly and said softly:

"You're worried about your aunt, aren't you?"

Lian Rongrong looked at Ruan Nianzhi, but before she could speak, she heard Ruan Nianzhi laugh and say:

"I've wanted to practice medicine in Liangye City for a long time. But over the years, my medical skills haven't improved much."

Our town has a small population and few patients; most illnesses are minor ailments like headaches and fevers.

However, to improve one's medical skills, one must see more patients and treat more difficult and complicated cases.

Actually, after my mother passed away, I had planned to try my luck in Liangye City, but I just happened to run into you all.

Now that you also want to go to Liangye City, we can travel together.”

"Really?" Lian Rongrong was overjoyed to hear Ruan Nianzhi say that.

Looking at Lian Rongrong's childlike smile, a hint of doting affection couldn't help but surface in Ruan Nianzhi's eyes.

Given Lian Rongrong's personality, once she made a decision, she would act on it immediately.

The next morning, Lian Rongrong went into the city again. This time, however, Ruan Nianzhi accompanied her.

Recently, Lian Rongrong has earned enough money from her stall in Feishui Town to rent a small shop.

But now, Lian Rongrong has to solve more than just the problem of the store.

After all, everyone needs to go into the city, so there must be a place for them to settle down.

However, this left Rongrong with a tight budget.

Lian Rongrong secretly touched the money pouch in her sleeve.

He secretly thought to himself, "Why don't we rent a place that would be convenient for Brother Ruan to see patients and also provide accommodation for everyone?"

With this goal in mind, Lian Rongrong searched for most of the day and finally found a suitable place in the southwest corner of Liangye City.

Over the course of the day, Ruan Nianzhi had also discerned Lian Rongrong's thoughts. Although he wanted to tell Lian Rongrong that she didn't need to worry about him, he remained silent because he understood her personality.

Lian Rongrong eventually used all her money to rent the house that could be used to open a clinic.

However, when Lian Rongrong signed the contract with the landlady, Ruan Nianzhi was nowhere to be found.

When Ruan Nianzhi returned, she was holding a rental contract in her hand.

"Brother Ruan, this is..."

"Your shop is just on the street corner."

Ruan Nianzhi used her savings to rent a fairly large shop for Lian Rongrong.

The shop was eventually named "Lianrong Food Stall".
