Chen Guihua had a good plan. She wanted to open a provisions shop in the village by relying on her connections. Many people with the surname Su were in the village, almost comparable to the other three surnames that dominated Trinity Village. If she opened a shop, those with the surname Su would flock under her banner, if only not to lose face, becoming an extension of her will.
Whosoever dared to defy her would receive a tongue lashing, one they could do nothing to stop.
If they did, wouldn't they be siding with outsiders? If so, they deserved the chastisement.
For this reason, Chen Guihua was collecting information on who else had opened shops in the village besides Sister Chrysanthemum.
"Eh? Chen Guihua, do you plan on opening a provisions shop too?" a voice in the crowd laughed. "Wouldn't that be no different from putting food before a mouse? You don't want to eat yourself out of house and home, do you?"
