Chapter 906 - 908: The First Wife Enters the Capital (5)
Well, forget it, whether she’s bluffing or not, we’ll see tomorrow! Situ rubbed the center of his brow, and realized that his boss had already left while he was dazed... .
After a while, the glass she produced in Lingbei will be launched on the market, and that certainly will cause a frenzy among the populace, who will vie and bid up the prices, so, she must find a shop with a spacious frontage to avoid being crushed by the enthusiastic citizens.
The streets of the Capital were as bustling as ever, swarming with an influx of people, and shops of all sorts lined up one after another. Cai Wei walked down the main street, looking left and right in search, wandering around several of the busiest commercial streets for the better part of the day, yet she couldn’t find a suitable shop!
There were a few shops up for sale, but either their facades weren’t big enough or the locations were too remote, falling far short of what she had in mind. From morning till evening, she found no desirable shop and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disheartened.
As the sun was setting in the west, Cai Wei, tired from walking, was about to find a teahouse to have some tea when she inadvertently saw a group of people coming from the opposite side.
Leading them was an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a dried-up face all wrinkled, looking around like Granny Liu who had entered Da Guan Garden, and by his side was a sallow-faced old woman with a countryside woman’s hairstyle, dressed in tatters, being helped along by her daughter-in-law while being reprimanded.
"If you ask me, their family probably won’t be able to carry on with the same business. That oldest girl married a rich man, and their whole family will surely follow along to enjoy the finer things in life, why would they bother opening a shop and working hard?"
"Shut up, what do you know? Although that slut of a young lass married a rich man, she’s nothing but a toy to them. Why would they care to support her parents? Therefore, the second brother’s family has to stick to the old trade—selling grilled skewers. As long as we find the place selling grilled skewers, we can certainly find them!"
Mu Zhongli said, "Mother, Dad’s right. Let’s ask around now. Where in the Capital do they sell grilled skewers? If we find that place selling grilled skewers, we’re sure to find the second uncle."
