Actually, the idea of opening a shop came to her when Liu Siqi got married. Second Sister-in-law Zheng Ruyue's family owned a dye workshop; although small, it at least turned a profit. After the wedding, her second brother also helped out there, and the Silver they earned was much more than what her eldest brother made from toiling in the fields all day, and it came quicker too.
With their parents getting older, she didn't want to watch them struggle with farming the land any longer. Hence, the thought of starting a shop took root.
However, opening a shop was not such an easy task. Although there were quite a few women who ran their own businesses, it was still a job that required showing one's face in public, let alone gaining parental approval. Even she herself initially found it hard to get over this hurdle.
It was only after she learned about Lin Yuan opening her shop that she felt greatly encouraged. If a young girl could open a shop, why couldn't she?
