After transporting the goods home, Li Qishan and Liu Zhen were eager to head back out to start selling. Having followed Li Xiulan’s advice and checked the town prices with Xinghua, they had finalized their retail pricing.
As the three of them shouldered their loads to head back, Liu Zhen pulled Li Xiulan aside into the house. "Xiulan, listen to your mother. No matter who it is, you must keep your guard up. You used to be quiet and just work hard in silence, but now that you have your own ideas and are willing to help both your in-laws and your own family, don't just think of others—think of yourself, too."
"Mom, don't you worry. I’ll be fine. If you run into anything you don't understand back home, don't just puzzle over it alone. Yongfu and the others are grown now; it’s no trouble to make a few trips to ask. Please don’t feel like it’s a burden or be too shy to reach out."
