The shop owner hurried back to her store. We noticed a worker unloading a crate of vegetables at the shop entrance, and it toppled, spilling everywhere. We quickly went over to help clean up.
“Jason, is that your mom?”
Hearing the familiar name, I looked up, and my eyes met Jason’s. He was standing with his classmates, glaring at me, teeth clenched.
I stood up, ready to greet him, but he turned and walked away.
“Jason, is that your mom?” his classmate asked, chasing after him.

“Shut up!” Jason snapped angrily. “Don’t talk about it in public. I don’t want anyone to know I have such an embarrassing mom.”
I bit my lip, my heart heavy with sadness.
It is believed that a son doesn’t dislike his mother’s, but my son seems to dislike everything about me.
Could it be that there’s something wrong with my parenting?
Well, it didn’t matter now. There was no point in dwelling on it. I couldn’t control it
anymore.
Business in the village was booming.
I convinced the village head to establish a company in the village’s name to help the local farmers sell their vegetables.

As long as the vegetables passed quality inspection, I would help connect them with buyers.
By doing this, they earned quite a bit more money than they would have by selling directly to vegetable traders, and they were willing to do it.
I didn’t give up on the business with the parents either. Over the years, I learned one thing–money from parents is the easiest to earn. Parents will pay any price for their children.
With some money in hand, I opened a fruit and vegetable store, leaving my sister–in–law to run it while taking care of their kid. This also solved solved the tuition issue.
Once the village had access to a wider

market, many neighboring villages came to us seeking collaboration.
I made sure to conduct on–site inspections, recommending suppliers whose products met quality standards. For poorer regions, I even offered to help them find markets for free.
After gaining some recognition, people from other cities started reaching out, hoping we could help promote their local specialties.
After discussing it with my family, I decided to embark on a nationwide tour, helping farmers in need while also getting to explore the country.
Some villages were hard to reach, so we partnered with local transportation companies for mutual benefit.

In less than a year, I had expanded to three more stores and had become a small–scale business owner.
Each time we went to choose products, we’d post about it online. Not only did it attract attention, but some organizations also reached out, wanting to partner with us to sell products.
Having researched e–commerce operations, and after discussing with my family, I decided to register my own company. We wasn’t interested in doing the selling part, but we knew how to grow vegetables and fruits, and could assess their quality. More importantly, I wanted to help farmers in remote areas get their good products to market. If I could earn a little bit for my efforts, that would be good enough for me.
