Chapter 478 Guo Jinnian
After much thought, Tong Yao decided to give up on that idea.
Firstly, it was too risky, and she knew nothing about it. If something went wrong, the consequences for a woman like her could be unimaginably tragic.
Secondly, even if nothing went wrong, her parents and Si Chen would be very angry if they found out what she was doing.
After weighing all the options, Tong Yao gave up on this aspect of the business.
However, she couldn’t think of any other quick ways to make money because she didn’t have much in hand.
With nothing much to do at home, Tong Yao called Deng Wenwen to hang out, but Wenwen said she had to pick up her cousin who was visiting from out of town. Seeing as Tong Yao had nothing else to do, she decided to go along.
Wenwen’s aunt was from Jiang City where she met her husband while working as a rural intellectual youth. After getting married, they decided to settle down there, and they had five children. This cousin was the third child and was currently twenty-five and unmarried.
Being unmarried at this age was unusual in the countryside. While the villagers gossipped, Wenwen’s cousin remained nonchalant and lived her life on her own terms. She was an assertive and independent young woman.
According to Wenwen, her cousin had a knack for business. She made a lot of money reselling clothes in Jiang City and was probably in Kyoto to explore new opportunities.
Tong Yao was very interested in Wenwen’s cousin. While they were waiting at the railway station, she couldn’t help but ask a few more questions, "When did your cousin start doing business?"
