Ye Lulu had long expected Mother Rong to worry. She convinced Mother Rong, “Mother, I know what you mean. The reason I want to do business is precisely because of the triplets. Our family is too poor. Or rather, most of the families in the village are especially poor. If the adults can’t eat their fill, the children can’t eat well…”
“I spent so much effort to give birth to triplets. I want them to lead a better life and have plenty of food to eat,” Ye Lulu said bluntly. “Moreover, we have Damao, Ermao, and the rest at home. It’s hard for them to be full from eating. Mother also wants them to grow up well.”
Mother Rong’s expression froze. Her emotions were different.
“Father and Eldest Brother go to the city every day to do manual labor,” Ye Lulu said again. “It’s very tough and harmful to the body. Not only that, but we also don’t earn much money. Since we have so many people in our family, why don’t we earn money together? If we can earn money, our family can lead a good life. It’s going to be winter soon, and we can prepare well.”
Mother Rong’s expression changed again, and there was more hesitation between her eyebrows. However, this was a good sign because she was already thinking about this.
Ye Lulu said, “Don’t worry, Mother. There’s still time. If we can’t earn money from our business, we’ll know in a few days. When the time comes, ask Chibei to go hunting in the mountains again. He’ll be back immediately. Don’t worry!”
Guan Chibei was called out by the side. He paused. “…”
He looked at her small face with a deep gaze.
… Those who did not know would think that Guan Chibei was supporting her. If they did not succeed, he would sell his life to hunt for her.
She really knew how to talk.
Ye Lulu pretended not to see Guan Chibei’s gaze and said to Mother Rong, “Besides, Mother, our family doesn’t have much money to begin with. Even if we don’t incur a loss, we are still very poor!”
“We’re already so poor anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
Mother Rong’s face darkened. Why did she say this in such a happy tone…
Those who did not know better would think that Ye Lulu was saying ‘we have a lot of money at home!’
Ye Lulu seemed to be waving a small handkerchief. “Mother, let’s give it a try. Let Father and Eldest Brother come back. Our family will work hard together!”
Mother Rong was indeed persuaded by Ye Lulu.
Because what she said was the core.
There was a risk, but if the whole family shared the burden and took responsibility together, it did not seem like they could not shoulder it.
Mother Rong looked a little excited. In fact, Mother Rong was straightforward and intrepid by nature. She was very inclined to do business. When she heard this just now, she could not hold back her excitement. However, the villagers were too poor and she had huge concerns.
Now that she was convinced by Ye Lulu’s words, Mother Rong became eager to try. “Then what food should we sell? There are many people at the docks in Yuan City, and gatherings take place there! Do we need to set up a stall? However, there are many stalls there as well. Selling ordinary food might not work. Some of the stalls have especially good business. Those who sell the same food as them can’t earn money.”
Ye Lulu said, “Let’s sell food from my hometown. There’s none in Yuan City.”
Mother Rong’s eyes lit up and she completely agreed.
That was right. Lulu’s hometown was thousands of miles away. She had special food that could be sold in Yuan City!
…
Mother Rong did as she said. After settling the matter with Ye Lulu, she immediately turned around and called everyone over to tell them about starting a business.
“We’re really doing business?!”
The brothers from the Guan family widened their eyes. They had grown up in the village and had never thought of going out to do business. Furthermore, it was in the city. Yuan City was so big. Did their family have the capability to do business in the city?
Father Guan was also shocked. “Chibei’s wife suggested this?”
