Ni Yang didnt care about what the village people were discussing; her only focus was on having a good life and being true to herself.

She parked her brand new bicycle in the yard and called out, Mother, Im back.

Just as her words fell, Ni Cuihua, with an apron around her waist, came out from inside. When she saw the bicycle, her face changed, Yangyang, did you buy this bicycle?

Ni Yang nodded, Yes, mom, what do you think of this bike? Isnt it grand?

Ni Cuihua, somewhat agitated, walked over to Ni Yang, How could you buy such a big thing without discussing it with me first? Even though we have profitable business now, we cant just squander away like this! How are we supposed to make ends meet at this rate?

Ni Cuihuas worries werent unfounded. After paying the rent, they were left with a balance of only seven hundred yuan. The bike had to cost no less than two hundred yuan. With Ni Yangs spending habits, even a mountain of gold would be exhausted!

Ni Yang chuckled and hugged Ni Cuihuas arm, Rest assured mom, 1 wont spend money recklessly. I bought the bike to do business. Trust me, 1 know what Im doing. Ill make sure you and my little sister live wealthy lives!

At these words, Ni Cuihuas face softened a bit, she then asked, Doing business? What business do you want to do? Is it appropriate for a young lady like you to go out and show herself in public?

Mom, these are old beliefs. Even the chairman has said, men and women are equal now. Should 1 wait and watch our resources deplete? Ni Yang smiled and answered back.

With a sigh, Ni Cuihua said, Im concerned that youll be bullied outside, youre still a young girl. I talked to your Aunt Ning today, she has a few acres of land, why dont we just peacefully farm the land and stop dreaming about the impossible?

During this period, working for oneself was considered a lowly profession, especially for Ni Yang, who was a girl. If a girl spends too much time in public, it could harm her chances of finding a good marriage.

Mom, 1 didnt bring you to Beijing to farm! Said Ni Yang, her expression serious. You can stay at home and take care of my sister, and leave the issue of money to me, theres no need to worry.

Ni Yang suddenly became serious and even Ni Cuihua, her mother, felt a sense of fear.

Mom, rest assured, 111 make sure you and my sister have a good life. Believe in me. Ni Yangs voice softened, looking at Ni Cuihua, her cat-like eyes filled with determination.

Looking at her daughter, Ni Cuihua inexplicably nodded, Okay, Yangyang. 1 trust you.

Having successfully persuaded her mother, Ni Yang revealed a dazzling smile and went to the bicycle to unload the supplies she had purchased that day.

Ni Cuihua took the fish from Ni Yangs hand, somewhat puzzled, Yangyang, this fish has such a strong smell. You bought so much, Im afraid we wont be able to finish it.

Ni Yang smiled slightly, speaking mysteriously, Mom, were going to become prosperous because of this fish.

Ni Cuihua looked puzzled, Become prosperous through fish? Fish was the least popular food. Was her daughter still feeling groggy?

Ni Yang didnt explain further. She took one of the fish into the kitchen and placed the remaining five in the bamboo basket and hung it in the well.

Refrigerators were available at that time, but the price was too high for ordinary people to afford. Hence, they made use of the low temperature in the well to preserve food.

The preservation effect of the well was actually quite good, if somewhat troublesome.
