Shopkeeper Cui was not born and raised in Lotus Flower Town. He had moved over from the south. His grandfather had passed the county-level examination in the Capital, and his grandmother's entire family had moved together with him. She originally thought that she would be able to become a wife of a scholar in the future, but who knew that his grandfather would fail the examination in the next year and fall ill in a fit of anger. He actually passed away in a few years.
At that time, he was in his mother's stomach.
His family's life was difficult, so he has always helped his father do things since he was young. His father had a skill passed down from his ancestors—making candied hawthorn. Unfortunately, his father didn't teach him everything before he passed away.
It was not that he had never tried to study, but he was not cut out for it at all.
