The next few places they visited didn’t compare to the one in Eastville. The stores in prime locations had high rents, but the income was stable, making it hard for Pruden to give up the opportunity for Clark.

After considering the options, Clark finally said, “I’ll take the one in Eastville

“Good, Pruden replied gently, “whichever you want, your grandmother will give it to you?

“Thank you” Clark felt a deep sense of desolation in his heart.

“What are you planning to do with the store? Pruden asked.

Clark had originally intended to open a fabric store, but the location was so far out of the way that it was unlikely anyone would find it unless it had a notable reputation. But how could a new store immediately build such a name?

I’m not sure yet, do you have any suggestions, grandmother?” he asked,

Pruden thought for a moment. “The store is big. You could sell daily essentials–pottery, pots, pans, things like that. You don’t have much capital, so this would be a good option.”

“Yes,” Clark replied quietly.

He didn’t have much money. His monthly allowance was just three thousand, and after spending a portion. he only had twenty thousand left. The sense of emptiness grew stronger inside him.

The situation was worse than he had imagined.

After thinking for a while, he said, “If I sell daily goods, I think it’s a waste of such a big store. I’m thinking of setting up a stall instead.”

“That’s not an option. You’re from Duke’s estate. How could you set up a stall? There’s a store right here, why not use it? I’ve never held anything against you,” Pruden said, clearly displeased.

Clark fell silent before replying. “Alright, then. Thank you.”

Perhaps realizing she had made him feel a little neglected, Pruden added, “If you do well, I have other stores. You can pick whichever one you want later.”

“Yes.
