Grandma Yun's motivation wasn't just because Miaozhou was their family's ancestral home—it could be said that Miaozhou was their root—so naturally she wanted Miaozhou to prosper. Another reason was that this plan was proposed by Xu Zhi. When Zheng Boyuan and Xu Zhi came to Miaozhou, the Yun family had gone to great lengths to find out their basic information and what they had experienced in the capital. If two outsiders could devote themselves to Miaozhou, how could they fall behind?
Madam Ming wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is thinking of closing down some of the shops she owns to make a living, and adding that money to the money that our household needs to spend. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Grandma Yun was very pleased that her daughter-in-law had thought of these things, and nodded, but still refused, saying, "Forget about your money. It's not like we don't have money in our household. How can we let our daughter-in-law use her own money to do these things? I've decided that the money will come from the family fund. I think this old woman is capable of making this decision."

When Madam Ming entered, Old Madam Yun was lying on the daybed by the window. When she saw Madam Ming come in, she waved to her, indicating that Madam Ming should sit opposite her.
Ming didn't sit opposite her, but sat down next to Old Madam Yun and massaged her legs with her hands. Back then, Old Madam Yun led the Yun family's caravan to sell furs from the north to the south. Her legs were frostbitten in the heavy snow, and she would experience leg pain from time to time over the years.
Grandma Yun sighed contentedly and said, "What do you think of this Mrs. Zheng?"
After thinking for a moment, Ming said, "Mother, this girl is young, but she is capable. I think we can definitely succeed by working with her."
