Chapter 70: Business

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Moreover, she did not know what her youngest son, Chu Xing, was doing with Chu Heng. All these years, he had brought back money every month to show his filial piety to her.

One or two taels of money a month would mean ten or twenty taels of money a year. Madam Qian was even more willing to let Chu Xing follow Chu Heng.

“Ah Xing has already been instructed by Ah Heng to help you buy some materials. It’s not a big deal. Why would he need you to give him so many things?”

Ye Muyu could tell that she was sincere and felt much better. She smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. It’s my gift to the child. Fifth Aunt, don’t push it.”

“I’m already repairing the wall at home. I need Ah Xing to help me get the things as soon as possible.”

When Madam Qian heard this, she called her grandson to look for Chu Xing. Chu Xing and the villagers went to chase after the thief.

Ye Muyu thought that it would take a while, so she said, “Fifth Aunt, do you have any unused broken bowls at home? I want to buy them back to repair the wall.’

“Build a wall? There are plenty of broken bowls, but they were really a little broken.”

Even if it was a broken bowl, the country bumpkins would not bear to throw it

away.

Madam Qian pulled Ye Muyu into the kitchen and took out more than ten bowls from the corner. They had not been used for a long time and looked ragged. There were gaps in many places. When she took them out, they were broken into pieces.

Madam Qian patted her hand kindly and said,” What kind of bowl do you need to repair the wall? My bowl is definitely not good enough to hold rice. Also, how much do you need? I’ll get Brother Dongyu to send it to you.”

Chu Dongyu was the second son of the Qian family and was at home at the moment.

Ye Muyu did not hide anything. She explained the usage of broken pieces and said, “Fifth Aunt, I want to buy it at a low price. However, if your family wants to build a wall like this, I will let the village know that I will buy it if anyone is willing to sell it.”

Ye Muyu did not like to scheme against her relatives.

Of course, she disliked scheming relationships the most, so she did not plan to hide it. Besides, Chu Lin, Chu An, and the others already knew about this matter. The clan would slowly find out about it.

“Ah, this idea. This way, no one will dare to climb the wall in the future.”

Madam Qian quickly thought of this benefit and praised her with a smile, “Chu Heng’s wife, you’re too smart.”

“How much do you need? My family doesn’t have enough. I’ll ask other families for you.” Even though Madam Qian knew about the benefits, she did not want to stop selling them. Instead, she took over Ye Muyu’s job and asked her how much she needed.

Ye Muyu smiled. “Fifth Aunt, I need about 30 to 40 bowls. I could have bought the bowls, but I thought it would be a waste if I didn’t use the broken bowls.”

“Your idea is right. The silver of a country bumpkin is saved from food. If you don’t save, no matter how good your life is, you can’t go far.”

“I only have a dozen at home. I’ll buy the rest for you.”

“I’ll buy more for my family too.” Madam Qian then explained, “I’m afraid my family doesn’t have time to repair the wall now. We can only leave someone at home to watch over the house. There are fewer people on your side. You should repair the wall first.”

“Once the method of repairing the wall is spread out, the villagers will probably start to build it once the farming season is over.”

“So I’m going to ask Ah Xing to go to the neighboring village to buy those broken bowls. There will definitely be people willing to sell them.”

Madam Qian had been doing business with her son all these years. She often heard Chu Xing talk about what could make money and how much he earned. Her mind could not help but be broadened..
