After settling his wife in, Guan Tao hurried off to town to catch a boat to go home and move.
Before leaving, Guan Tao requested an audience with Shen Qingyu.
"Boss, I'd like to ask for your advice: what will happen to the shop if we all move here?"
Shen Qingyu knew what he was worried about, and asked him seriously, "Do you two still want to go into business in the future?"
Guan Tao thought about it seriously: "I've realized that neither my wife nor I are good at business. We... still want to focus on making ceramics."
Shen Qingyu recalled her first meeting with Guan Tao and her recent meeting with Guan Niangzi, and nodded: "You do have self-awareness, so let's sell it then."

Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "Just name your price. As long as it's not outrageous, he'll pay it."

"But you owe Doctor Mo eight hundred taels of silver for the leeches, so you'll have to slowly save up to pay it back..."
For a long time to come, life will inevitably be difficult.
Whether to look to the future or to cherish the past, that is the question.
