Actually, this matter was brought up by Lady Zhang to Lady Li after Zhang Caiyun and Lu Bingwu got engaged. Zhang Caiyun's dowry, aside from what the family could prepare themselves, required some items to be purchased elsewhere. Those items could be bought in the town, but if they could be purchased from the county city, it would naturally be better.
Ordinary tenant families might not have this option, but the Zhang Family did. Previously, because of the distance, going to the city was troublesome for them. However, now, the situation is different.
With Lian Manman's family, going to the city is no longer troublesome but rather quite convenient. Moreover, Lian Manman's family not only has a house in the county city but also a shop.
