Chapter 246: Father is Terrifying
Hold on, favors.
Ye Muyu seemed to understand something.
Sure enough, she heard Chu Heng say, "The county magistrate is not foolish. Instead of asking the Xie family to contribute some silver, he hopes to make Xie Yu owe him a favor."
"Xie Yu won't exchange the Xie family's favor with the county magistrate."
"So, in order to reduce expenses, the county magistrate charges one copper coin for entering the city. It's not too expensive to cause public criticism, and he doesn't have to spend silver."
"If Xie Yu discussed with the county magistrate and mentioned that the Xie family owed him a favor, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any mention of an entrance fee."
Ye Muyu understood. The county magistrate felt that Xie Yu's personal favor was not enough for him to spend his own silver.
"Is the soft fragrant cake ready?"
At least twenty to thirty thousand people had come from the entire county and the quantity of soft fragrant cakes must be considerable.
"Xie Yu is always punctual no need to worry."
Ye Muyu had always believed in Chu Heng's abilities. He wasn't someone who acted recklessly, so the soft fragrant cakes would probably sell well.
During the conversation, it was their turn to enter the city.
Chu Heng took out a copper coin from his waist and handed it to the guard at the city gate. He reported the name of the county yard and the carriage passed through.
The others, including Chu Lin, followed suit.
After entering the city, the carriage moved with difficulty.
Chu Liushi called out to Chu Heng, "Third son, we'll go to the yard first and unload the ox cart and vegetables. What about you?"
"We'll go too." Chu Heng replied.
"Alright, follow the ox cart then."
In the carriage, Ye Muyu habitually asked, "Do you have a house in the county?"
Having been a manager in her past life, she was used to knowing every detail. Asking this question was also out of habit.
But not long after she said it, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She felt that she shouldn't have asked. It was no longer her past life and even if Chu Heng did have personal property, asking about it would be displeasing.
Chu Heng tilted his head. Seeing her frowning, he thought she didn't like him keeping the matter of the county house a secret. He explained, "This was bought for doing business and resting by outsiders. It's quite messy."
"If you want to buy a courtyard in the county, we'll check it out later." His tone softened a bit.
Ye Muyu understood that he had misunderstood her. She quickly said, "I don't want to buy a house in the county."
"I was just a little surprised. I shouldn't have asked before. It's just my habit. I hope you're not angry."
Looking at Ye Muyu's earnest explanation, Chu Heng felt that speculating on her true thoughts would only disappoint her. Ye Muyu was a person with principles.
"I don't mind your questions. If you want to know anything in the future, just ask me directly." Chu Heng extinguished any suspicions at the bud. After many years in office, he was confident in his ability to gauge others thoughts. However, he still cared about Ye Muyu's true thoughts. The open communication style between them was something he liked and wanted to maintain.
Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised by Chu Heng's words. Originally, she thought Chu Heng was deep-minded and wouldn't want to reveal everything. But she couldn't see any trace of joke in his words.
So...
Was he really willing to be completely transparent with her about everything?
Such a husband was already quite rare in her past life.
"Alright." Ye Muyu naturally wouldn't refuse. If Chu Heng was willing to be honest with her, it was her good fortune.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Chu Jin raised his head and asked the two adults.
Chu Heng glanced at him indifferently. "Adults are talking. Children shouldn't interrupt."
Chu Jin: "..." Father's voice is so terrifying. Did I say something wrong?
