On the day Jiang Yu's engagement was annulled, her relatives took away the restaurant left by her parents.
Carrying a box of old recipes and relying on the lease left by her mother, she moved into the west courtyard of Chungui Village on the outskirts of the city. She decided to farm, open a shop, save money, and start her own life again.
In the east courtyard separated from her by a vegetable garden, there lived a sick man with a bad temper, an injured leg, and a lavish spender.
Jiang Yu thought he was just a distant relative of the Hou family, so she rescued him and forced him to sign a contract stating that "meal expenses will be calculated separately, and help will be used to pay the bills".
Later I found out that this man was Xie Wenchuan, the most difficult to offend prince in the capital.
She sold a bowl of noodles, and he blocked her hands from occupying the store; she planted an acre of land, and he helped her keep down the vendors who were driving up the planting prices; she said she didn't want to get married, and he was silent for a long time: "Then I'll wait until you make enough money, and wait until you are willing to choose me."
What Jiang Yu wanted was never to climb a high tree.
She wants a shop that truly belongs to her, a group of people who can rely on their craftsmanship to make a living, and someone who is willing to stand behind her and alongside her.
Purpose: A good life is not about waiting for charity from others, but about using your skills, favors, opportunities and sincerity to build your own confidence little by little.
