Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

Yu Banxia smiled and said, "I'll be giving my fourth brother acupuncture in two days. Also, Father gave me a shop and a house, so I'm going to go and take a look."

"I'm afraid I'll be coming to town quite often in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanqing was delighted: "That's great! If you don't come, I'll go to your house to find you."

"Okay." Yu Banxia smiled.

He then bid farewell to Jing Zhong, who smiled and nodded without saying anything more, lest he be noticed.

Watching them leave in their donkey cart, the wealthy man remained silent for a moment, then summoned his steward and whispered a few words to him.

The butler smiled and nodded, then turned to attend to the tasks assigned by the master.

Yu Banxia did not go straight home, but went to the two shops that the wealthy man had given her.

Both shops had just been renovated, and there were two shop assistants watching over each shop: "Excuse me, miss, our shops are currently under renovation and are temporarily closed."

“I know.” Yu Banxia nodded, then took out the shop’s land deed.

After the shop assistant finished reading, he hurriedly and respectfully returned the shop to Yu Banxia. It turned out to be the new owner. He hadn't heard the owner mention selling the shop before.

"I can take a look by myself, you don't need to follow me." Yu Banxia carefully examined the shop. Both shops had a second floor. The one on the left was used as a restaurant, and the backyards were interconnected, with a very large kitchen and several rooms for resting.

There are also two small gardens. After looking at them, Yu Banxia quickly made a decision: the three houses in the left backyard could be divided into side rooms to provide private special meals.

The right side is used as a shelf to sell skincare products and other items.

Across the street, there was a smaller shop for sale. Yu Banxia went over to inquire about the price, which wasn't too expensive. It had a small courtyard and cost fifty-four taels of silver.

Her wealthy father had just given her five hundred taels of silver notes, so she wasn't short of money and could go all out.

"I'll take it," Yu Banxia said directly to the shopkeeper.

The man was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses: "Really? Don't you need to discuss it with your family?"

"No need, I can make my own decision."

Yu Banxia nodded confidently, and Yu Hongyu and his nephew quickly nodded in agreement, indicating that they would listen to her.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed. In fact, fifty-four taels wouldn't sell in a small town like this, but he didn't expect the girl to buy it without saying a word.

"Thank you very much, young lady, but I may need some more time to pack up. Could you please be patient with me for a few more days?"

"It's alright, let's go through the transfer today. You can take your time to pack up. Once you're done, just hand the keys over to the guy across the street."

"Okay, okay." That's a servant of the Qian family. Could the girl in front of me be a relative of the Qian family?

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Young lady, if you do me a favor, I'll do you a favor too. You can give me fifty taels, and we'll split the transfer fee in half."

Yu Banxia smiled and thanked him. The shopkeeper looked at her crescent-shaped eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Brother, why don't you go with this uncle to handle the transfer of ownership?"

Yu Banxia also gave him everything the Qian family had given her, including the estate and the house.

Then they gave him another hundred taels, and the shopkeeper next to him was completely dumbfounded.

If he wasn't mistaken, the house and estate seemed to belong to the Qian family, and the young girl in front of him was dressed quite elegantly.

This must be a relative of the mistress of the Qian family!

The shopkeeper followed Yu Mangui to the household registration office to transfer the property, while Yu Hongyu stayed behind.

"Uncle, could you please work hard these next few days and come here to build me a few counters or something?" Yu Banxia returned to her shop.

Yu Hongyu asked, "Just tell me how to do it."

Yu Banxia gave a brief explanation, and then added, "I'll draw it for my uncle later."

"it is good."

Yu Banxia took out some more silver, and Yu Hongyu quickly waved his hand: "Why are you giving me money again? Uncle has more."

"Are you going to keep this for now? What if you need to buy something later and don't have enough money?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Yu Hongyu felt extremely warm inside. This precious little girl of theirs, who knows which rascal will be lucky enough to marry her in the future.

"Alright, Uncle, take it." Yu Hongyu accepted it, not refusing Yu Banxia's kindness.

Yu Banxia then said, "I'm going to set up the counter here for the shopkeeper, but we're still missing tables, chairs and other things. I'd like to set up a restaurant for my aunt and sister-in-law."

"That's great! My sister-in-law and second nephew's wife will be very happy to hear about it."

Yu Banxia chuckled, then added, "I also plan to lead the whole village to prosperity. If our family becomes rich, it will inevitably attract jealousy, and people will try to sabotage us and cause trouble."

"If we get everyone involved in the work and become prosperous, they won't be jealous of our family."

Yu Hongyu could hardly believe his ears. This girl was so insightful and thoughtful in everything she did.

“You’re right. Once everyone gets involved and keeps an eye on each other, if even one person leaks a secret, it will affect the interests of the entire village.”

The waiter listened quietly, deeply moved.

Yu Banxia nodded with a smile; she had actually said it on purpose for the guy to hear.

They only left after Yu Mangui returned.

She told the waiter about handing over the keys across the street, and the waiter nodded repeatedly. Only before leaving did he dare to ask, "Miss, who are you and the owner?"

"Today we just recognized Mr. and Mrs. Qian as our godparents."

"You're actually our daughter! I was rude earlier." Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately tried to bow.

Yu Banxia quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "You said yourself that we're family. You should take good care of the shop for me. My uncle will be here tomorrow to make new tables, chairs, counters, and so on. You must help him out then."

"Don't worry, young lady." The two waiters quickly replied, and Yu Banxia left with a smile.

“I’ve made up my mind, I’m going to work for the girl.” The shop assistant’s eyes were shining; he had heard everything the girl and her uncle had said.

This new girl is bound to be a remarkable person in the future.

In the Southern Jin Dynasty, women could buy property as early as thirteen. The country did not impose the same harsh conditions on women as other countries. Women could also do business and appear in public.

Even so, there was no way for women to take the imperial examinations and become officials.

The three uncles and nephews went to the house again for a look. The servants in the house had already received the news and came out to greet their new master as soon as he arrived.

The house was looked after by a family of four: the man was named Xu Zheng, his wife was named Ying Niang, and their son, Ji Xiang, and daughter, Ru Yi, were all servants of the Qian family.

Looking at the three-courtyard complex in front of them, Yu Hongyu and his nephew stared wide-eyed. Pavilions, terraces, side rooms, and waterside pavilions—it had everything, and it was beautiful no matter how you looked at it.

There is a stone-paved road in front of the house, and a river on the other side of the road, with boats passing by from time to time.
