"Bring your family and stay here. Sell that house and land over there!"
"Sell it? Then what will we eat and drink?"
"Come live in my house for now. I'll teach Liu Hai a trade, and you can use one of the shoplots once it's available. Once you earn some money, you can pay rent. If it doesn't work out, your family can stay in the house behind the shop. It's better than your old place."
Madam Liu Qiao lowered her head, finding it hard to believe what Qiao Mai was saying.
She felt touched and skeptical. "I feel that my family isn't cut out for business."
"Hmph, have some self-confidence. With me around, what are you afraid of? Don't you have the desire for a better life? You don't even have the will to make things better."
"We do, but we're afraid we can't do it. We're worried about embarrassing you!"
