? This novel describes the story of a grocer's family in the Ming Dynasty. Boss Lin has only one eye and can do anything for his daughter. Under the social trend of resisting foreign goods, the grocery store in Lin's shop is facing the danger of bankruptcy. With the competition of peers, creditors come to collect debts and their accounts cannot be collected. Boss Lin had to post a copy to empty the warehouse so that he could turn around and send away the poor creditors. But the director in charge of business, this greasy middle-aged man, has a crush on Miss Lin, who is only seventeen years old. Of course, the old couple Lin resisted, but it was risky to resist. The grocery store next door deliberately spread rumors and maliciously slandered boss Lin, who was leaving. As if seizing the opportunity to retaliate, the director of commerce decisively locked up boss Lin. Shousheng, the assistant of the Lins' shop, is busy before he is busy, and the expenses are inevitable. He was forced to sell the goods at a low price to Yu Changsheng's grocery store across the street. When boss Lin came out, the family was already unable to open the pot. Aunt Lin asked her daughter to marry Shousheng, a man. The two young men hurried to offer their condolences. Mrs. Lin gave 200 yuan's private money to Lin, the boss, to let him leave here with his daughter. Only Aunt Lin and her son-in-law Shousheng are left here in the shop. The commercial bureau first seized the Lins' shop and scraped the goods inside, but the small creditor didn't get a layer of principal. The police urged him to complain to the government department, and he was beaten, and the child in the arms of the widow Zhang was also killed.
