Yun Xi handed 200 yuan to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu's expression changed immediately after hearing Yun Xi's words. His eyes flashed with an imperceptible light. This news was simply too shocking for Jing Yu.

Ever since he was young, Jing Yu had long understood the need to plan for himself due to his family's conditions. For many years, he had been doing everything by himself.

No one felt sorry for him, and no one stood up for him either. Yun Xi's arrival was like a ray of light, making him feel the warmth that he had not felt in a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Xi could not help but ask.

Seeing Jing Yu's expression change in an instant and that he still did not accept the money, Yun Xi thought that Jing Yu did not want to go to school because of his mother's illness.

"Nothing!"

Jing Yu quickly shook his head, afraid that Yun Xi would misunderstand him in the next second.

Although Yun Xi had given him this money to nurture a capable assistant for herself, in Jing Yu's heart he knew that Yun Xi did this because of him.

He was already used to fighting by himself and was also used to relying on his own to make a living. However, when a kind-hearted Goddess suddenly appeared in his life, Jing Yu was caught off guard. At the same time, he was filled with anticipation.

"Oh right, remember when I told you about a shop? How did it go?"

Yun Xi brought up the issue of choosing a shop.

She had already thought it through. Once Jing Yu had chosen a shop, she would immediately go and buy it.

Hearing this, Jing Yu's expression darkened. He lowered his head and he did not dare to look Yun Xi in the eye. His voice also became a little muffled.

"I... I haven't decided yet."

Seeing Jing Yu's troubled expression, Yun Xi knew that something must have happened.

"Why haven't you decided yet?" Yun Xi immediately asked.

"After a few days of searching in the county, I've chosen a total of three shops. There is this particular one in the center of the county, and there are several shops next to it. There will be a lot of customers, but the rent is a little expensive. This other one is cheaper, but it's located in a remote area. I'm afraid that this will help us save on the rental but it might affect the business."

"How about the third option?"

Jing yu immediately added, "This last one isn't located in a remote area, but it's not prosperous either. There's a small clinic next to this shop. I'm sure our medicinal herbs business will be booming."

"This shop has an attic. However, the rent of the attic is not included as part of the shop rental, as warehouses normally are. The rent of the attic has to be paid separately. Moreover, in order to save himself from trouble, the owner of this shop only rents the attic and the shop together. Otherwise, he won't rent it out at all. I think the rent of the attic is almost half as much as the shop. The cost-benefit ratio is not particularly high."

Jing Yu explained the current situation of the store to Yun Xi in detail.

Yun Xi thought for a moment. "Choose the one with the attic. Your mother is still unwell. Although she looks better now, she still needs someone to take care of her. This way, you can run the store downstairs, and the attic upstairs will be your family's resting place. You can then go to school, help me run the business, and even take care of your family."

Yun Xi thought that her father could do the bookkeeping of the medicine shop in the future. Then Jing Yu could go to school during the day.

"Alright, I'll do as you say!"

When Jing Yu heard Yun Xi's suggestion, he also felt that it was very appropriate and immediately agreed.

At the same time, the young man felt an inexplicable sense of dependence and other emotions towards Yun Xi. Jing Yu felt that he was not actually helping Yun Xi with her business. It was clearly Yun Xi who was finding a way to help him survive.

If it was not for Yun Xi, he would not have known how to survive. It was even more impossible for him to have everything he had now. Perhaps even his mother's illness...

At that moment, Jing Yu swore in his heart that he would protect this woman no matter what price he had to pay.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll go back first. Go to the county in the afternoon and buy the shop. We'll prepare to open the shop tomorrow."

"Okay."
