 Chapter 70: Business

Moreover, Chu Xing, the younger son, didn't know what he was doing with Chu Heng. Over the years, he brought back silver coins every month to show filial piety to his mother. Bringing back one or two coins per month added up to ten or twenty coins a year. This made Qian even more willing to let Chu Xing follow Chu Heng. "Ah Xing received instructions from Ah Heng a long time ago. Helping you buy some materials is not a big deal. You don't need to give him so many things." Qian said. Ye Muyu could see her sincerity and felt much more comfortable. She smiled lightly and said "It's just a small token of my goodwill for the child. Aunt Five, don't decline." "The wall is already being repaired at home. I need to ask Ah Xing to make a quick trip for me." Upon hearing this, Qian immediately called her grandson to find Chu Xing. Chu Xing had gone with the villagers to chase the thief. Ye Muyu knew she had to wait for some time and said "Aunt Five, do you have any unused broken bowls? I want to buy them to repair the wall." "Repair the wall? Broken bowls? We have plenty of those, they're genuinely broken." Qian replied. In the countryside, even if a bowl was shattered people were reluctant to throw it away. Qian took Ye Muyu into the kitchen, where she pulled out more than a dozen bowls. They all looked dilapidated with chips in various places and some were even broken into several pieces when she took them out. Qian kindly patted Ye Muyu's hand and said "If you need a specific type of broken bowl for repairing the wall, these won't be suitable for serving meals. How many do you need and I'll have my nephew Dongyu deliver them to you." Dongyu was Qian's second son and was currently at home. Ye Muyu didn't hide anything and explained the use of broken tiles. She also said "Aunt Five, I want to buy them at a low price. If your family also plans to repair the wall this way, I'll spread the word in the village. Whoever is willing to sell, I'll buy." Ye Muyu didn't like to scheme against her relatives, especially when everyone in the village already knew about this. The clan would eventually find out. "Oh, this idea is excellent. With this method, no one will dare to climb the wall in the future." Qian quickly thought of this advantage and praised her "Chu Heng's wife, you're so clever." "How many do you need? If we don't have enough at home, I'll ask Dongyu to deliver them. How many do you need?" Even after learning about this advantage, Qian had no intention of refusing. Instead, she directly took charge of the matter and asked Ye Muyu how many she needed. They would arrange it together. Ye Muyu smiled, "Aunt Five, I probably need about thirty or forty. Originally, I could buy new bowls but I thought it would be a waste not to use these broken ones." "Your idea is correct. The silver in the countryside is saved from the grain. Without thriftiness, even if the days are better, it won't last." "We only have a dozen at home. I'll go buy the rest for you." "I'll buy some extra for my home as well." Qian explained "We probably won't have time to repair the wall at home now. We can only leave someone at home to watch over it. Your side has fewer clan members, so it's better to repair the wall first." "Once the method of repairing the wall spreads, the people in the village will probably start doing it after the busy farming season." Therefore, I plan to ask Ah Xing to go to the neighboring village to buy those broken bowls. There will definitely be someone willing to sell." Qian, over the years of doing business with her son, had often heard Chu Xing talk about what kind of things could make money, how much they earned and so on. Her thinking had been broadened along with it.
