The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 218 Choosing a Shop

"Linlin, you know, Song Yunfeng and I are engaged, and it won't be delayed for much longer. I will be married before the beginning of autumn next year at the latest. Do you know what will happen after I'm gone?"

"Linlin, you have to know that I can't protect you forever. You have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

"What I mean is that life is only a few decades long. You have to live well and please yourself. Living happily is the meaning of life."

Wang Lin did not answer, because for her, this was undoubtedly a huge challenge. She had never thought about living for herself. In her eyes, she was always instilled with the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority. Even if she were to be reborn, these ideas that she had never seen before would be very unfamiliar to her.

"Linlin, you may not understand. What I mean is that our family is not short of money now. If you want to do something, just go for it. Don't waste your hard-earned life. You can do what you want and learn what you want."

Shen Yan smiled coldly. The influence of the surrounding environment on her was still too great, and it would be difficult to change it.

"Sister, do you know? When my parents were still alive, my mother taught me to read and write every day, and my father also taught me the principles of life. Although those days were dull, they were the best time of my life. So I want to learn embroidery from you, and I want to keep up with my brothers and sisters in learning."

Shen Yan was shocked when she heard this, because under such a great influence of the environment, Wang Lin was still able to keep his original intention. Wang Lin now knows that in the past, she was only for revenge, and she had no way or possibility to get ashore. Now with Shen Yan here, all this has become possible, and she is willing to believe Shen Yan.

Now that Shen Yan is her backbone, she will have a better chance of turning things around.

After a while, Shen Yan came to Wang Lin with needle and thread and taught Wang Lin how to embroider, but soon Shopkeeper Li came running over, probably looking for something from Shen Yan. Shopkeeper Li expressed her idea. Shopkeeper Li was a businessman, and she was trying to find a way to sell these embroidery products. Shopkeeper Li's embroidery was exquisite, but it took a long time, and she would definitely not be able to do it alone, so she told Shen Yan her thoughts. She wanted to set up a primary school to learn embroidery.

"Shen Yan, I want to set up a school to learn embroidery. What do you think?"

"Of course you can. Your embroidery skills are not bad, but the people in the school must be trustworthy."

"Of course, I'm tentatively choosing the Li family's Xiuniang. They have a good foundation and learn quickly, but to me, they can't make any waves, so they are my first choice."

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Wang Lin who was still fiddling with needlework beside him.

"Linlin, are you planning to learn embroidery too?"

"Yes, she took the initiative to ask me to learn it, so I taught her the embroidery method." Shen Yan looked at Wang Lin who was fiddling with needle and thread, and demonstrated it to her again.

"Sure, Shen Yan, if you don't mind, when my school is open, I will definitely let Linlin study for free."

Shen Yan thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. After all, she would feel uncomfortable if she moved to the town suddenly. It would be good for her to get to know some other people and have a transition. When things got busier, she would not have any random thoughts in her mind and moving to the town would go more smoothly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Manager Li. I'd love to have you here." Shen Yan thought so. She could take advantage of Wang Lin's time at school to tinker with the store in town and run the shop.

"Then Linlin, are you willing to go to the school with Manager Li?"

Although it is very convenient for Wang Lin to go to school, she still has to respect Wang Lin's opinion.

Wang Lin didn't want Shen Yan to worry too much. Although she was a little reluctant in her heart, she still agreed. She knew that her sister was very busy and didn't have more time to accompany her. She could only be more sensible and not let her sister worry.

"Since you've agreed, you must study hard. I'll check every night when you come home. If you try to take advantage of the situation, I'll punish you."

Having said that, Shen Yan gently pinched Wang Lin's little face, and the latter smiled, her expression becoming much brighter.

Shen Yan turned to look at Shopkeeper Li and asked, "Shopkeeper Li, do you know any unused shops or locations in town that are better?"

When asked this question, Shopkeeper Li was slightly stunned, and then a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that Shen Yan had already saved enough money to open a shop.

Half a year ago, she was still a person running around to embroider a handkerchief before the memorial service. It can be seen how hard she has worked in the past six months.

If it were Shopkeeper Li, she would definitely not be able to do this. She does not have that kind of perseverance and ability, nor does she have the courage and guts to transcend the mundane world.

"Master, you have finally figured it out. Many customers are waiting for you to open a shop in town. Then they won't have to travel far to eat your bowl of noodles."

The place where Shen Yan lives now is indeed a bit remote. Some customers who like to eat what she cooks would rather walk a long way and come here non-stop every day.

If they move to a town with a prosperous location, these people won't have to travel far.

"Before, I thought I had to save more money, and I didn't have that much money. Now I think it's better to start early. Anyway, I have to open a shop sooner or later, so I might as well prepare in advance."

Shopkeeper Li nodded and said, "In that case, I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I can just go back to town with you and choose a shop together."

The two hit it off immediately, and Shen Yan agreed. She then took the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and started communicating with Shopkeeper Li.

On the other side, Wang Lin listened to them talking. His hands paused, and his nails dug into the flesh. Soon, trickles of blood came out.

She figured it out: the reason her sister was in such a hurry to go to town was all for her.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Li did not stay long and left not long after. Shen Yan sent him to the door and then turned back.

Wang Lin walked out of the house, not knowing what to say.

Just then Shen Yan turned around and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

As she walked, she went to the sink to wash her hands, then headed to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables.

Wang Lin followed her and asked, "Sister, you are going to open a shop in town, is it for me?"

At this moment she felt very guilty, her lips turned a little pale and her whole body was tense.

"You could say so." Shen Yan answered while picking vegetables. She picked a lot of vegetables and put them in the basket. In the end, it was almost full.

“But to a large extent, it’s not. Setting up a stall on the official road has a stable customer base and can make money. And as the variety of products sold increases, the customers’ sense of novelty will not decrease. But it has become a burden for Sister Xiaolan and Cuilian.
