Chapter: 2008
�I see��
The old woman sighed.
She sounded genuinely sorry.
She asked again,
�So, you�re looking for them?�
�Yes.�
�I sincerely hope that you find them. People with the ability to bring joy and entertainment to others are not common.�
�I will.�
Pyo-wol nodded.
Although his intentions weren�t as pure as the old woman thought, he still needed to find the Heavenly Flower Variety Theater Troupe in order to find out about Hong Yushin.
�That�s fortunate! It�s good that someone capable like you, is searching for them.�
�How can you be sure that I�m capable?�
�Hoho! I�m over a hundred years old. I can gauge a person�s abilities to a certain extent just by looking at their face. And even if that�s not always the case, the fact that you managed to enter my manor freely and fearlessly is enough to prove your capability.��
It wasn�t just thanks to her son�s ability that a huge manor such as the Xielao Manor was built. The old woman also played a part, given how it was through her own power that a merchant group, escort agencies and other businesses that her son was currently running was built.��
In Poyang Lake, the old woman was called Noh Tae-tae, and she commanded the respect of the people.
Noh Tae-tae became a widowed at the young age of eighteen, when her husband, who had gone out for business, encountered bandits and was killed.
But, Noh Tae-tae did not cry.
Nor did she despair.
With her only son on her back, she started working in the same business her husband had done.
She struggled, and she was cheated.
But instead of despair, she rose with determination.
She worked even harder because she knew that if she collapsed, her son would have no life.
After three years as the head of a merchant business, she heard that her merchant group was the best in Poyang. To protect the business, she established an escort agency and spent a large sum of money to recruit capable workers from neighboring clans and sects.
From then on, there was nothing that could stop her.
She used her fearsome business methods to grow the merchant group and escort agency, eventually making it the number one merchant company in Jiangxi Province.
What she accomplished in raising the escort agency was the extermination of the bandits who killed her husband. She mobilized the martial artists of the escort agency and received the cooperation of officials to track down thebandits.�
During that time, her son got married and had seven children, who in turn grew up and got married. The seven grandchildren in turn produced dozens of great-grandchildren.
Only then did she retreat from the front lines and took up residence here. Her grown son had built this Xieolao Manor for her.�
The name of the manor, Xielao, means to live in peace together for a long time.
As someone who single-handedly built a massive business, Noh Tae-tae had a discerning eye for people. JrNovels.com
