Ning Huaizhichong: Jiang Yuwei smiled weakly.

"I'm sorry, Yuwei, I really wanted to stand up. I... I won't do it again next time. I just haven't felt what it's like to walk in a long time, so I walked a little longer."

Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the shoulder and comforted him:

"I know, let's go, let's go home and have dinner."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei looked at Doctor Lin and smiled:

"Dr. Lin, my family has opened a paper shop opposite Ge's Paper Shop. It will open tomorrow. You are welcome to come and have a look when you have time."

Dr. Lin nodded in surprise, and Jiang Yuwei then pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair, leading Ning Zhao towards her shop.

The waiter who was standing nearby also heard Jiang Yuwei's words, and watching the family leave, he came closer and sighed:

"This Jiang Yuwei is quite bold. I haven't heard of another paper shop on North Street. Tsk tsk, she's really in big trouble for messing with the Ge family. I wonder how long this shop can stay open."

After saying that, the shop assistant turned back to Dr. Lin, who was still standing there in a daze, and whispered:

"I think you'd better not go, Dr. Lin, to avoid getting involved in their struggle. Let's just keep running our clinic quietly."

Dr. Lin smiled helplessly:

“You’re quite clever, but sometimes people have to consider personal relationships. I get along well with Yuwei’s family, and I also get along well with Huaizhi’s personality. How could I not be there for their shop’s opening? No problem, I’ll go over and take a look when I’m free tomorrow.”

Jiang Yuwei hadn't considered Doctor Lin's concerns. She had only made a few polite remarks. It would be great if Doctor Lin could come and join in the fun, but if he was too busy with his shop to attend, Jiang Yuwei wouldn't blame him.

When Jiang Yuwei and the other two arrived at the shop, everyone had already brought out the food and set it out, waiting for them to return.

"Sister Yuwei, come and sit down, we've saved some seats for you."

Jiang Yuwei nodded to Ning Daya, smiled, and pushed Ning Huaizhi to the table. After everyone was seated, they began to eat.

Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Qiu and asked:

"How's it going? Have you all practiced the sales pitch I taught you? We're opening tomorrow, so you can't let me down."

Ning Qiu and Ning Daya exchanged a glance and smiled:

"Don't worry, Sister Yuwei, Daya and I have practiced several times, we guarantee there won't be any problems!"

After everyone finished eating, Jiang Yuwei asked them to stay in the shop and wrap the bouquets with a combination of floral paper and Yuwei paper.

On the first day of opening, the bouquets in this shop are only given away, not sold. Any customer who becomes a member and recharges five taels of silver or more will receive a bouquet. First come, first served, while supplies last.

Customers who become members and recharge more than ten taels of silver will receive a one-month flower card, and a bouquet of flowers will be delivered to their door every seven days.

Jiang Yuwei also prepared one hundred exclusive tote bags for the store, which will be given to any customer who becomes a member on the opening day, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

Everyone applauded and cheered after hearing Jiang Yuwei's explanation of the membership system, and they all noted down how to explain it to the customers the next day.

After arranging things here, Jiang Yuwei quickly drew a blueprint and measured Ning Huaizhi's height before heading to the carpenter's shop with the blueprint.

As soon as I entered, Manager Wang greeted me with a beaming smile:

"Yuwei, did you come here by yourself today?"

Jiang Yuwei handed the blueprints to Manager Wang and smiled:

"Yes, Manager Wang, please check if this cane can be made. Make sure the details marked on the drawings are done correctly, and the height must be made according to the dimensions I specified. There can be no mistakes."

Manager Wang took the blueprints, examined them carefully, and smiled:

"Alright, don't you trust me with this? It's simple, I can finish it in two days. After it's done, I'll still deliver it to your shop as usual."

Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:

"Yes, then I'll have to trouble you, Manager Wang. My shop officially opens tomorrow, and you're welcome to visit when you have time."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and nodded as he saw Jiang Yuwei off. He silently wiped the sweat from his brow and muttered to himself:

"How could I dare to patronize your business? If the Ge family found out, they'd skin me alive..."

As soon as Jiang Yuwei stepped out of the carpenter's shop, she spotted a familiar figure in the distance. Curious, she approached to take a closer look and was surprised to find that the disheveled woman before her was none other than Xu Qianqian. She exclaimed in surprise:

"You didn't come to Ping'an Town last night and haven't gone back since, did you?"

Xu Qianqian looked up at Jiang Yuwei and gave a bitter smile:

"How could I possibly go back? You were right, that damned Master Xu! I was so badly fooled by him. I might as well just die."

As Xu Qianqian spoke, she was about to crash into the wall by the roadside when Jiang Yuwei rushed forward to stop her, frowning as she said:

"Don't try to kill yourself here. If you die in front of someone's shop, you'll be free, but how will they do business after that? You can't be so selfish!"

With tears in her eyes, Xu Qianqian stared intently at Jiang Yuwei and weakly spoke:

"You, you must be very happy right now, seeing me make a fool of myself makes you happy, doesn't it? Laugh all you want, laugh all you want at me, I'm just a fool, hahaha..."

Just as Jiang Yuwei was about to yell at her, she saw that the woman had fallen straight down. Jiang Yuwei rushed over to check her breathing; it was very weak, but she was still breathing.

Passersby who saw Xu Qianqian faint also gathered around to check on her.

Seeing that everyone was gathered around, Jiang Yuwei felt it was inappropriate. After all, Xu Qianqian was a woman, and being watched like this would damage her reputation. So, Jiang Yuwei gritted her teeth, helped her up, and then carried her on her back before staggering towards her shop.

Jiang Yuwei wasn't one to meddle in other people's business. If Xu Qianqian had fainted in Ningjia Village, she definitely wouldn't have cared, because other villagers would naturally have helped her, or at the very least, someone would have notified her family.

But now that we're in Ping'an Town, and Xu Qianqian is a woman who has gotten into this mess, as a fellow villager, she has no choice but to help.

Jiang Yuwei finally managed to carry Xu Qianqian to the shop entrance. Ning Qiu rushed out to help Jiang Yuwei, but when she saw that Xu Qianqian was on her back, her face immediately turned cold.

"Sister Yuwei, why did you bring her here? Have you forgotten how she treated you before?"

Jiang Yuwei settled Xu Qianqian on a small bed in the backyard, fed her some water, and then smiled at Ning Qiu:

“Of course I won’t forget what she did before, but we’re from the same village, I can’t just stand by and watch her die. She collapsed by the roadside and I happened to run into her, so I brought her here. We’re going back to the village tonight anyway, so I’ll take her with me.”
