Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Alright, I’ll inform the other rooms later.” Ye Muyu still had to go home to make tea, so she did not say anything else.
Chu Xueqin said directly, “Sister-in-law, I’ll go help you. I’m going back to change the tea. Do you want to inform all five of the households?”
“Yes, but it will delay your work. I’ll ask Zhang Shu to go.” Ye Muyu still did not understand why Chu Xueqin would say this, but she did not mind. She was more compatible with the people of the fifth branch, and her relationship with them was better.
Chu Xueqin said, “It’s okay. I can do it quickly. I guess Zhang Shu will be busy with other work. Sister-in-law, you don’t have to decline. I’ll go now.”
“Alright then. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xueqin. If you need books, just come to my house and get them.”
“Alright.” Chu Xueqin nodded with a smile. He did not refuse this time because he knew Ye Muyu was sincere.
When Ye Muyu went back, Chu Dongyu stopped what he was doing. He straightened his back and took a break. Then, he asked curiously, “Brother, why did you suddenly think of helping Sister-in-law?”
“Didn’t you think of anything?” Chu Xueqin was a little helpless at his stupidity.
“Sister-in-law has obviously lowered the price of the mountain pepper tree. Usually, when we buy the mountain pepper tree seedlings in the county, it costs at least 120 copper coins.”
In fact, the price Ye Muyu mentioned was not deliberately lowered. It was just a normal price. It was just that because it was Chu Heng’s own caravan, he could transport more at one time, and the cost was lower than that of other caravans . It was obvious that Chu Xueqin had misunderstood perfectly.
“Twenty copper coins is equal to what we used to earn in a day when we
worked in the past.’
“She’s charging us less because she wants to help us as relatives.”
“Think about it again. We’re under the care of Ah Heng and Sister-in-law. It’s only right for us to help.” After Chu Xueqin pointed it out, he walked to the water tank, filled it with water, and washed his hands first.
Chu Dongyu felt a little ashamed. “Big Brother, you’re right. I actually took advantage of Ah Heng’s family for so long without realizing it. I’ll help Ah Heng’s family more in the future.”
“It’s good that you understand.”
“I’ll go home first. You don’t have to work for now. It’s getting late. Help me inform the other houses about the mountain pepper trees.”
“I’ll go back and discuss with my parents how many mountain pepper trees to buy.”
“Big Brother, I’ll buy as much as you buy. Don’t buy too little for me.” Chu Dongyu quickly said, afraid that if he was a step too late, he would not be able to help Brother Heng by buying the trees.
In fact, he had never thought of planting mountain pepper trees to make money. He reckoned that many people in the village had the same idea as him. However, there were quite a number of mountain pepper trees transported in the mule cart just now.
After being reminded by Chu Xueqin, he suddenly realized that if he did not buy it, Chu Heng would have bought so many mountain pepper saplings for nothing, right?
Thus, he did not hesitate to support Chu Heng.
Chu Xueqin nodded his head in relief. Actually, he had the same thoughts as
Chu Dongyu. The silver that his family had earned recently was all because of Ah Heng. Even if he took out all of it to support Ah Hengs actions, he would be happy to do so.
After Chu Xueqin returned home, Chu Dongyu went to the third, first, second, and fourth household to inform them of the news.
His brain worked quickly, and he deliberately went to the Third household to inform Madam Liu and the others. After all, they were Ah Heng’s parents, and he had to inform them first.
After that was the first household, where the clan leader was.
When Chu Xueqin returned home, he found Madam Qian, his wife, sister-in-law, his daughter, and niece were assembling Zhuge Locks..
