 Chapter 314: Selling the Shop

"But after all, Lu Hu is the third young master's follower from the Wang family. Although the third young master didn't say anything, there's a risk that Lu Hu might spread rumors, claiming that we slapped his face which is equivalent to slapping the third young master's face. It's likely to cause endless trouble."


"I've reached the age to get married, and I don't want my wife and child to suffer with me. I thought about going to Yun Chuan County next door. There, I could also buy a shop and continue my life. Moreover, Yun Chuan County is close to Big Mountain Village." Wang Chuan spoke openly not hiding anything. "But don't worry, Sister-in-law. The matter with Lu Hu has been resolved. He even returned the money to us. There won't be any trouble with this shop."


Ye Muyu glanced at Wang Chuan, remaining silent for a while.


However, Wang Chuan misunderstood her silence. Despite feeling embarrassed, he honestly explained, "I'm worried that my father might be manipulated by Lu Hu again in the county. His health is not good and he can't endure such things."


Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu realized he had misunderstood her intention, but she didn't clarify.


To be honest Wang Chuan's considerations were not unreasonable.


Lu Hu was a gambler, and gamblers could do anything. For ordinary people dealing with him was indeed troublesome.


Willing to give up a shop they had managed for a long time, a lifelong home, showed considerable courage. After all, ancient wisdom emphasized the importance of family ties and Wang Chuan clearly prioritized his loved ones.


If Ye Muyu were to choose, she would make the same choice.


"How big is your shop and how much silver do you need? A fair price, no need to deliberately make it cheap. I can find out the market price." Ye Muyu said. She had been thinking about buying a shop and now that one was offered, she was willing to purchase it.


Wang Chuan originally intended to express his gratitude by offering the shop, but Ye Muyu directly blocked his words. The price he had prepared to say couldn't be spoken as it was significantly lower than the market value.


"Sister-in-law, my family's shop has a market price of fifty taels. If you're interested, I'll sell it to you for forty-five taels. There are also some furnishings inside the shop. If you like them, feel free to take the." Wang Chuan reported the market price straightforwardly considering honesty better than beating around the bush.


This price was indeed accurate and matched the prevailing rate in the market.


Ye Muyu didn't hesitate to accept, "Alright, I'll buy it at this price. You don't need to leave the furnishings. Even if you go to Yun Chuan County, they can still be useful."


Although she didn't explicitly say it, Ye Muyu understood that Wang Chuan wanted to express gratitude by selling the shop with those furnishings.


Even though she hadn't seen the furnishings in Wang Chuan's shop, she knew they must be valuable. Otherwise, Wang Chuan wouldn't have made such an offer with his personality.


The fact proved that Ye Muyu was good at judging people and her guesses were quite accurate.


"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. Those furnishings are actually quite old." Wang Chuan added. What he didn't say was that even though they were old, they were made of excellent yellow rosewood.


In the Great Chu, yellow rosewood was highly favored in the palace. Usually, it was offered as tribute and occasionally, one could find a piece in Jiangnan County. However, it was mostly bought by wealthy families and rarely sold to outsiders.


The set of furniture in Wang Chuan's family was an invaluable treasure left by his grandfather in his later years. He sincerely wanted to thank Chu Heng for saving him.


"They may be old, but there's sentiment attached to them. I can't snatch someone's beloved possessions." Ye Muyu replied.
