The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

But now, they also know that this money should be from He Fang’s black market dealings, and if they want a good income in the future, it’s probably not going to happen.

So, they’re thinking about whether they can start a small stall.

Of course, Wuyou, who is good at embroidery, will maintain as she is—her embroidery can sell at a high price. Others have average skills and will help Ah Ru with the food stall, selling some small snacks.

The cost of a small stall is not very high. They’ll try setting up a stall first, but their only worry is someone causing trouble.

Shu Yu pondered, ”So where do you plan to settle down?”

The few of them hesitated. They’re quite familiar with Qingxuan County, but after such events, they’re afraid they can’t stay there.

Finally, Tao Hongdan said softly, ”We... want to go to Heichang County.”

Heichang County is slightly poorer than Qingxuan County, but they know the Wen’an County Lord used to live in Heichang County.

They’ve also met Wang Changdong before; the County Lord had earlier asked Wang Changdong to take care of them.

Though there’s some taking advantage, Wang Changdong works at the county office. They feel that in Heichang County, having a good relationship with the Wang Family is indeed a support.

Shu Yu thought about it and nodded, ”Heichang County isn’t bad. I’m somewhat familiar with the area. Wang Changdong works at the county office, and I know the local tyrants around there. When the time comes, I’ll tell them to keep an eye on things, and you shouldn’t have too much trouble. However, earning a living is up to you. Since you’re setting up a food stall, cleanliness is the most important.”

Tao Hongdan and the others’ eyes brightened, nodding urgently, ”Yes, we’ll do our best. Thank you, County Magistrate, thank you.”

”Since you’ve decided, finish your affairs here, and I’ll take you directly.”

”Alright.”

The five of them didn’t delay any longer. The rented house was unsealed when they were released home. They tidied their things, terminated the lease with the landlord, and then rented a cow cart.

Just like that, their cow cart followed Shu Yu’s carriage, and they headed towards Heichang County.

Tao Hongdan and the others have been through so much, each of them has become quite nimble. As soon as they arrived in Heichang County, they first visited the Wang Family.

Ms. Sun is a warm-hearted person who, knowing the girls were brought by Shu Yu, promptly offered to help.

She first helped them find a house to rent and then asked Wang Changdong to see where would be suitable for setting up a stall.

The ladies were very grateful, and after settling in, Ah Ru cooked a table of delicious food, inviting Shu Yu and the Wang family to taste her skills.

Shu Yu was pleasantly surprised—Ah Ru’s culinary skills were indeed quite good.

Having gained her approval, the ladies’ confidence surged.

After Shu Yu helped with the local tyrants, seeing the ladies were already re-energized and the situation seemed promising, she took her leave to return to the prefecture.

Wei Qin, who followed along with her, had already understood what Tao Hongdan and the others had gone through, watched Shu Yu help, and felt increasingly emotional.

Lele was really lucky to have met his Cousin Uncle and Cousin Aunt.

Not long after returning to Hetai Prefecture, Yuan Gui and his group arrived at the prefecture city with goods.

Lu’s instantly returned to busy operations, preparing vigorously for the opening.

At this moment, Qi Lie came to bid farewell.

The matters here have reached their conclusion; the new governor succeeding Lord Cheng has arrived, and subsequent affairs naturally fall to others.

Qi Lie is headed back to the Capital with his group to report, and this farewell might mean they won’t see each other for a long time.

Meng Yunzheng rarely embraced him, saying, ”Take care.”
