Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Ye Muyu said, “Mother, there’s no hurry. Let’s go to the county. I’ll take you to the shop to see the styles of those wooden boxes. You can tell Second Brother or get someone to draw them. Then he’ll know what we need.”

“That’s true. Then it would be a hurry.”

“As for Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law’s family, they do have a shop in the county. Since that’s the case, let’s see if there’s anything suitable for them to do and open a shop.”

“Your Eldest Sister-in-law’s cooking skills are not bad. I think she can open a restaurant. The food you usually cook is very delicious. Any one of them will do.”

“Ah Yu, you don’t mind telling them the recipe, do you?” Madam Liu asked.

“Mother, this food is usually made for family members. If Eldest Sister-in-law is willing to open a restaurant, I can give her a few recipes. Eldest Sister-in-law can also slowly improve according to the taste of the guests and make her own specialties.” Ye Muyu suggested.

“You’re right. Everyone cooks, but what makes our food different? So not only does the food need to taste good, but it also has to be unique.”

As Madam Liu spoke, she thought of her own family and wanted to spend some time to go back and take a look.

This time, she stayed at home to receive Chu Xingjun’s family. When she learned that her eldest sister-in-law’s family had also had a great new year because of selling wood ears, Chu Zhiwen was very happy.

She was also happy for Chu Xingjun’s family.

Along the way, they soon arrived at the county.

The group of people returned to the residence first and put all kinds of luggage back.

Chu Heng went to the school in a hurry. There were only a few days left before he left for the examination in Jing City. There were still some other candidates who had passed the high scholar examination in the early years of the school who would also go and try. These people would all go to the examination together.

Other than that, he still had other things to deal with.

Ye Muyu brought Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, Madam Liu, and Chu Zhiwen to the cosmetics shop.

Many shops in the county were still closed, and most of them were only opened to relatives.

They went straight to the cosmetics shop.

The door had been cleaned and only one door was open.

Ye Muyu walked straight in.

She saw Tang Dongfeng calculating on an abacus behind the counter.

“What do you need?”

“Madam?” He was surprised for a moment. After confirming that the main family had arrived, he quickly came out to welcome them with a smile. “Madam, Old Madam, Old Master, Young Master, Young Miss, why are you all here?”

“We’re just here to take a look around.” Ye Muyu followed him and sat at the table that was usually used to entertain guests. She sat on the soft couch that was not high. “Why isn’t there a brazier?” she asked.

It was still winter, so it was still a little cold.

“The shop will open in two days. I have nothing to do, so I came to settle the accounts. With the New Year gift from Madam, I’m wearing thick clothes. I’m not cold. Madam, if you’re feeling cold. I’ll go get it now,” Tang Dongfeng said with a smile.

“No need. Sit down. I’ll look at the account book. Bring Mother to the wooden box that usually holds rouge. In the future, the wooden box will be given to the Second Master to make. If you have any new ideas or blueprints, you can tell Mother.”

Madam Liu quickly got up. Chu Zhiwen was also curious, so he followed her, which annoyed her.

Chu Zhiwen was bored. No matter what Madam Liu said, he had to follow her.

Tang Dongfeng quickly brought them to the storeroom.

Ye Muyu sat on the soft couch and looked at the account book. “Ziluo, Xiao Jin, go play on your own. Just don’t get lost.”

The two children also ran to the backyard.

Ye Muyu looked at the account book and found that the items that sold the most were indeed the face cream used in winter, the soap balls for bathing, and even perfume.
