The voice was captivating, and her bright black eyes looked up at him with admiration and praise.
Chu Heng felt a pang in his heart, and reached out to hold her in his arms, kissing her on the tip of her nose, his voice a bit muffled: "You won’t blame me for doing these things, putting you and the children in danger, will you?"
Ye Muyu wrapped her arms around his waist, her eyes full of trust as she looked at him, "Ah Heng, how can you say that? I will always believe in you. Have you ever heard the saying? The best defense is a good offense. If we’re weak, we’ll be bullied. Only by being strong will no one dare to touch us."
"And during this process, I’m willing to acpany you." Ye Muyu buried her head in his chest, snuggling up with trust.
The bit of conflict in Chu Heng’s heart instantly dissolved because of her words.
Having a wife who constantly supports you, what more could a husband ask for?
"Ah Yu, thank you."
Ye Muyu just tightened her embrace, expressing her stance.
After forting Chu Heng, Ye Muyu noticed it was getting late, so she quickly stood up straight, her ears slightly red: "Let’s go out quickly, don’t keep Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law waiting."
"Hmm." Chu Heng went to wash up first.
Ye Muyu went out to entertain Madam Wang’s family.
That night for dinner, they had fresh vegetables sent from the Manor. Because they had their own greenhouse, the Chu family never had to worry about running out of ingredients.
Madam Wang and the children were extremely satisfied with their meal.
After dinner,
Chu Heng called Chu Cai aside and talked with him in the study for a while.
Ye Muyu, on the other hand, concernedly asked Madam Wang about the business at their family shop.
Madam Wang felt very grateful when Ye Muyu inquired: "Thank you, Third Brother’s Wife. If it weren’t for the braised flavor recipe you gave, the shop business wouldn’t be doing so well."
"Because of the affordable prices, many workers in North City are willing to eat at our shop. The business is thriving, and the daily prepared ingredients are always used up."
"It’s all because Second Sister-in-law worked hard herself. Besides, I get a share of the profits; it’s easy money. You shouldn’t thank me." Ye Muyu was straightforward in handling accounts with Chu Cai’s family.
After all, it’s better to help urgent needs rather than poverty.
Instead of watching Madam Wang restless because of the high cost of living in the capital, feeling distressed.
Ye Muyu simply provided her with a braised meat recipe and suggested opening a small shop in North City.
Although the business couldn’t pare to big restaurants, it could easily earn ten taels a day.
Calculating this, there would be three to four hundred taels a month.
In the capital, many wealthy people exist, but many lead ordinary, moderately prosperous lives, though not extravagant.
After all, the wealth gap in the capital remains quite significant.
Yet even a hundred taels is sufficient for Chu Cai’s family to live fortably for a month.
This calculation includes the monthly expenses for their several children and the servants they employ at home.
The remaining silver taels can be saved for other plans.
And this is only the ine from one shop.
When Ye Muyu taught Madam Wang initially, it was on the path of earning quietly. Although the shop business was good, they never flaunted wealth, and all helpers in the shop were reliable people.
Because of low prices, many people can hardly believe that a North City food shop could earn over a hundred taels monthly.
No wonder Madam Wang was immensely grateful when she saw Ye Muyu.
"Well, Third Brother’s Wife, many people outside are talking about Third Brother now." Madam Wang, knowing she was about to leave, couldn’t help but wink: "I didn’t expect Third Brother to be so devoted, Third Brother’s Wife, you are truly blessed."
