Chapter 142: Return the Favor
"How did you know?" Tang Rou was shocked and frightened. She didn't have many valuable belongings and she kept them well-hidden to guard against the people in the Tang family. Tang Chuan stretched lazily, saying, "If you don't want people to know, don't do it." "Give me the silver hairpin and I'll consider our deal settled. After all, I want to return to the second class and even advance to the first class which requires more silver to buy books." Tang Chuan reached out. Seeing Tang Chuan's casual and impatient demeanor, Tang Rou knew that her hairpin was probably gone. She felt extremely unwilling but she couldn't offend Tang Chuan now. Otherwise, she might be sold directly by Tang Wangshi. Tang Rou gritted her teeth and handed the hairpin to Tang Chuan. Watching Tang Chuan's triumphant departure, she harbored resentment, thinking, "Tang Chuan, just wait for me." Tang Rou turned around, closed the door, and went straight to the medical clinic, already having a plan in mind. In the Chu family, Ye Muyu sat in the main room making shoes and Chu Ziluo sat next to her, learning. The mother and daughter occasionally chatted making the atmosphere lively. When Chu Xing returned, Ye Muyu had just finished sewing the shoe uppers. Chu Ziluo happily went to open the door and upon seeing Chu Xing, she greeted him with a big smile, saying, "Uncle Xing." "Ziluo, is your mother inside?" Chu Xing entered with a jar of honey in his arms. "She's inside, Uncle Xing." Chu Ziluo walked into the main room with him. Hearing the noise, Ye Muyu had already prepared some tea. When Ye Muyu saw the honey, she was surprised and asked, "What's this?" "Sister-in-law, this is the honey that Brother Heng asked me to bring back. It's from a passing merchant." Chu Xing smiled, placing the honey jar on the table. At the same time he took out a letter from his clothes and handed it to Ye Muyu. "Sister-in-law, this is a letter from Brother Heng. If you can't read it, you can ask Xiao Jin to read it for you." Chu Xing thought that since Chu Heng wrote a letter directly instead of asking him to deliver a message, it must contain private matters that weren't suitable for him to convey. Ye Mutu took the letter and let Chu Xing sit down to rest. "Take a break first, have some cool tea and then tell me slowly." Chu Xing didn't stand on ceremony. He had been on the road for a while and was already thirsty. Ye Muyu didn't immediately read the letter. She waited until Chu Xing finished drinking before asking about the matter of the cakes. Once this matter was mentioned, Chu Xing became even more delighted. "Sister-in-law, you probably don't know. The milk-flavored cakes are sell really well. I didn't spend a quarter of an hour and they were all sold out. No one even bargained for the price." "All these copper coins are here." Ten cakes were sold, totaling two hundred coins. Hearing that they were sold out, Ye Muyu thought the price was set too low. However, she didn't plan to sell them herself anymore. In the early stage, she just wanted to build a reputation. Later, she would find a big customer and sell the recipe. So, the scattered goods at the price of twenty coins each were reasonable for now. Ye Muyu directly handed thirty coins to Chu Xing. Chu Xing didn't refuse. Having worked with Ye Muyu for a long time, he understood her personality. After taking the remaining copper coins, Ye Muyu said, "Ah Xing, do you plan to repair the house after the busy farming season?" "In that case, do you have time to go to the county?" Upon hearing this, Chu Xing couldn't help scratching his head. "Sister-in-law, if I'm busy repairing the house, I definitely won't have time." "Okay, I understand. Then, for these ten days or so, help me sell the milk-flavored cakes. After that, you don't have to worry about it." Ye Muyu thought, it seems that she must buy two more people back. Without someone to run errands for her, many businesses couldn't be done. Chu Xing, unaware of Ye Muyu's plans felt relieved when he saw that she wasn't angry. After sending away Chu Xing, Ye Muyu looked at the honey on the table, opened it and took a sniff. It indeed smelled pure.
