Kapitel 83: Chapter 83: Quiet Opening

Ye Xinyan found a mediator, and with the help of Shopkeeper He, she managed to rent a small, unremarkable shop adjacent to Great Crane House.

It was a languishing grocery store, whose owner was hesitating whether to continue running it. Hearing that someone was inquiring about renting a shop nearby, he quickly started calculating.
