Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 422 - 422: So Many?

He sighed helplessly and grabbed Ye Muyu’s hand.

Ye Muyu struggled for a while, but when she saw that she could not pull it out, she stopped. Chu Heng rarely touched her, but when he really wanted to hold her hand, he would not let her get away easily.

Since that was the case, she was too lazy to pull him anymore to avoid making him sad.

“Are you doing ink because you lack silver?” Chu Heng was in a good mood. Because of her reaction, the joy in his eyes flashed and disappeared. His slightly rough hand gently rubbed the back of her hand.

Ye Muyu did not expect him to ask directly. Since he had been asked, it was not good to hide it. If she did not answer now, she would really be hiding it from him. Then, she was afraid that there would be conflicts.

“Yes, I need quite a lot for the bookstore. I didn’t expect the cost of printing books to be so high.” Ye Muyu was a little embarrassed. She did not ask about the cost clearly at first, but she never told anyone about it because she lacked money.

Although Chu Heng’s expression did not change, she felt that the way he looked at her was different.

“And about the money for the mountain pepper trees, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until the bookstore opens and recoups the money before I can give it to you.”

“No need.” Chu Heng’s eyes were like torches.

“Hmm?” Ye Muyu had yet to react.

Chu Heng had already let go of her and strode towards the bookshelf.

Not long after, he brought over a wooden box. When he opened it, there was a stack of banknotes and some silver scraps inside.

“This should be enough. Take it.” Chu Heng took out 400 taels and placed them in her hands.

Ye Muyu was already short of silver, especially since she needed to pay off the remaining 320 taels in two days. If she did not accept this silver, she was afraid that it would cause an awkward situation and embarrass Chu Heng.

Her face was slightly red. Then, she said frankly, “I’ll return it to you when I have enough money. Without you, I can’t open my bookstore.”

“I’ll give you a bonus when the time comes.” Ye Muyu felt that she owed him for taking advantage of him.

“Ah Yu, are you missing something?” Chu Heng frowned when he heard her answer. He reprimanded her seriously.

“We are husband and wife. Shouldn’t I give you money?”

“Keep this wooden box in the future. When there’s money, I’ll give it to you.

Just keep enough on you.”

“These are all earned from some business trips. There are also some land deeds and estates, but they are all in the Luozhou Prefecture in the north, outside of Yanjing. We are far away and can’t see them. We will talk about it when we go to Yanjing in the future. We don’t have to worry about them now.”

Chu Heng gave all his assets to Ye Muyu in a few words.

Ye Muyu was shocked by his carefree actions, but she could not deny that she was touched. She was touched that Chu Heng trusted her.

Chu Heng was the one who earned all this money, so there was no need to give it to her. Even if he only gave her money for the family every month, she would not blame him for anything.

Although in a rich family, the female was in charge of the household, and the male was in charge of the household, it was difficult to say who was in charge of the household.

“Are you asking me to be totally in charge of the house?” Ye Muyu asked with a smile.

“No, this is my money. I’ll give it to you. If you want to earn money, then earn it. If you don’t want to, then don’t do it. Don’t think too much. It’s just money.

The income now is enough to feed our family.”

Ye Muyu’s face was full of surprise. She wanted to confirm if Chu Heng was lying..
