Cheng Su felt somewhat disheartened, thinking that as someone who had been wronged in death and arrived in this era, Heaven would grant her some sort of cheat or advantage. Though there had been some initial difficulties, they were negligible and everything had proceeded quite smoothly up to now.
However, the consequence of this smooth sailing was that she had allowed herself to dream too lavishly, to become too full of beautiful aspirations, forgetting the harsh reality. It was still the mid-1980s, the era of economic reform and opening up. Though the economy was improving, this was mainly in the more developed cities, even the big ones. For more remote areas, progress was very slow.
Not to mention, even more remote places like mountainous regions.
Walking near the train station today, she observed everyone hurrying by, disheveled and lugging their baggage, all wearing weather-beaten faces. Who amongst them wasn’t nervously and reluctantly counting out banknotes to pay for their food?
Throughout history, the rich have been few and the poor many. Not everyone can casually afford to spend a few coins on a meal; often, a bun and a few sips of water would suffice.
With such a scenario in mind, did she really expect to run a prosperous fast-food shop bustling with customers at the train station and make a lot of money?
Forget about making a lot of money, she now had to give serious thought as to whether she should even proceed with this endeavor!
After hearing her thoughts, Old Song also became pensive and asked, "Have you seen any of those shops failing to stay in business? Are there many people going there to eat?"
"Actually, there aren’t any that are failing." Mentioning this, Cheng Su felt even more depressed because she did not find any shop that was looking to transfer ownership.
