Mr. Liang was born into the Liang family of Jing'an, while Ms. Lin came from the Lin family of Jing'an.
However, the Lin family, compared to the Liang family, is insignificant, which is why she understands the hardships of small merchants even better than Mr. Liang.
Previously, they lived under the protection of the Liang family, and although they were not highly regarded, at least they did not have to worry about food and drink. But now, they have separated from the Liang family of Jing'an and started their own establishment.
For illegitimate children like them, once they leave the clan, they can only fend for themselves.
Perhaps they could still rely a bit on the Liang family, but at best, they would only have a relatively stable livelihood.
For instance, with the backing of the Liang family, they have stable supply channels for their cloth business.
But that is all the Liang family can provide; to live better, they have to rely on themselves.
