Chapter 32: Scoundrels
A year later, Zhang Sanchun and Lin Qiaoxi moved from Pinecone Village to Pingshui Town.
Relying on the silver they borrowed from Chu Xun, they bought that residence and shop, but they just didn't have extra silver to buy farmland.
Moving to live in the town wasn't solely Lin Qiaoxi's idea.
Zhang Sanchun always felt that his wife was once the daughter of a wealthy family, and couldn't always follow him living the bitter life of facing the yellow earth and turning their backs to the sky.
So he wanted to go to the town to open the roasted goods shop, perhaps able to earn a bit more silver than farming.
Of course, the few acres of land at home couldn't be left behind; they still had to continue planting.
Whenever it was the busy farming season, they would return to the village.
Chu Xun guided them in making various roasted goods, as well as puffed rice balls and candied hawthorns.
Even though Pingshui Town had not yet recovered from the negative impact of the Lin family's nine familial exterminations, a business like roasted goods, with both low costs and low selling prices, could still barely be done.
