Zhou Ping paused. She did not understand.

Grandma Zhou said, “You’re now a noble lady. A noble lady, do you understand? You’re the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family in the capital. Your status is very high. Do you understand?

“With your status, there are plenty of people who would like to befriend you, especially the nobodies over here. They want to get ahead but have no means of doing so. But you’re different. Within your social circle, perhaps the person that you’re casually chatting with is so important that ordinary people have no hope of befriending them in this lifetime. Those minions are more than happy to work for you if you just say the word!

Zhou Ping’s eyes brightened. After all these years, this was the first time that someone was lauding her to the skies and that person was her mother.

Grandma Zhou’s words immediately opened new dimensions for her.

Grandma Zhou said, “Dear daughter, actually, there are many things that do not need to go through the Gu Family. Why do you need to ask them for everything and always seek their permission? Your current achievements show how capable you are. You’ve given birth to four sons for the Gu Family! What are you afraid of?

“Dear daughter, if you call and chat with the important ladies here, they will naturally release them. They long to toady up to an important person like you. They will never dare to refuse any of your requests. Hurry up and get your brother and Yaozhu out.

“Daughter! When they’re released, I will make them toe the line and stay at home. The capital is so far away. The Gu Family will never find out that our family members have been released. Don’t you agree?

“If you manage to accomplish this, the people here will all want to be your friend.”

Her words were a revelation to Zhou Ping.

She hung up. Her entire mind was filled with what Grandma Zhou had said.

She thought for a while. She had met some rich ladies recently at the Gu house.

They were all decked out in jewelry and accompanied by servants. One could tell at a glance that they were very wealthy. Those who were of slightly lower status all nodded and bowed to them and spoke in hushed tones.

She could be like that too!

The Gu Family was an important one, and many people wanted to befriend her. She remembered that at Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinhang’s wedding, many people were toadying up to Second Uncle’s wife. They were both daughters-in-law of the Gu Family. Many people certainly wanted to toady up to her too.

Zhou Ping was drawn into such an attractive scenario. She was entirely engrossed in her daydream and did not emerge.

The next day, Zhou Ping hurried off to execute her plan.

The new year was almost here, and everyone had cash on hand. At this time, most people would not want to offend others. They would find it better to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, Zhou Ping was the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law. Her status made most people trust her.

Especially the smaller families who wanted to build connections with the Mo, Qiao and Gu families. But their families were not important enough, so they had no means of doing so. Now that Zhou Ping had presented herself, they would grasp the opportunity.

Things got better with each successive year. Most families in the capital had small businesses and many had little money. They were more than happy to use their money to buy progress.

Zhou Ping borrowed 20,000 yuan within two days. She was incredibly excited.

She kept 3,000 yuan for herself and sent the rest back to her family.

When Grandma Zhou received the money and saw 17,000 yuan, she was surprised and delighted.

When she asked for 10,000 yuan, she had deliberately asked for more than she needed! Now she had 17,000 yuan. These rich people were really wealthy!
