Huang Dehai arrived around 11:30 a.m. and he was helping Liu with the accounts.

Classes at the academy started around 1:30 p.m. Lin Xue saw that everyone was very busy, so he stepped down from the front hall and went into the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

They could wait, but her scholar husband couldn't. He had to go back to school to attend classes on time, regardless of whether he had eaten or not.

Lin Xue looked at the ingredients Huang Dequan had prepared for her, made a plan in her mind, and then cooked four main dishes and two cold dishes.

By the time all the food was ready, it was around 12:30, and no new customers were coming in.

Huang Dequan said that by setting the food directly in the shop, they could take care of customers in front of them and serve them promptly if any guests came.

At the dinner table, everyone praised Lin Xue's cooking skills.

Huang Dequan, in particular, was eating the food on the table. Apart from a few unremarkable home-style dishes, there were several other dishes that he didn't have.

He praised Lin Xue's cooking skills while asking her for advice on how to make these dishes.

Lin Xue didn't hide anything, after all, making more money in this shop would also benefit her.

Because the amount of money Huang Dequan handed over to his family was determined by the shop's profits.

When business was good at the shop, he would give more to his family; when business was bad, he would give less.

This is similar to a dividend, because when Huang Dequan bought the shop, he contributed the majority of the money, while his family only contributed a small amount of silver.

As for where Huang Dequan's money came from, we have to talk about Lin Xue's sister-in-law, Liu.

She was the darling of her family. If it weren't for her insistence on marrying Huang Dequan, the head chef of a banquet, her parents would never have wanted her to be so far away from home.

When she got married, her dowry was very generous.

The money for this shop came primarily from the Liu family, and the Huang family also promised in front of their in-laws that the shop belonged to the eldest son's family and they wouldn't try to take it.

Otherwise, Liu's family would not have allowed her to pay this money.

To be honest, the second and third branches of the Huang family have always taken advantage of Huang Dequan.

If Huang Dequan and his wife hadn't been kind-hearted, any other daughter-in-law would probably have made a scene long ago!

Lin Xue has her own way of making money and doesn't want things to get too tense between the Huang brothers.

Since Huang Dehai came to the shop, Lin Xue had been observing him. She noticed that this scholar would occasionally steal glances at her.

Perhaps due to his status as a scholar, this man always behaved with humility and politeness in public, and he was respectful and courteous even to his wife.

Wherever this person stands, he looks like a tall and straight pine tree.

Although he exudes a strong scholarly air, he also possesses an upright and dignified demeanor.

Perhaps this is what people mean by "a person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance"!

After finishing his meal, Huang Dehai was about to return to the academy to continue his studies. He quietly called Lin Xue to a secluded corner.

"Why did you call me here?"

Lin Xue looked at the scholar in front of her. She had done many missions in various worlds, but this was the first time she had met a husband like this.

For a moment, I didn't know how to treat him.

I always felt that being too proactive might be disrespectful to this student.

"My wife, haven't you missed your husband after so long?"

Who would have thought that once this person was out of sight of everyone, he immediately changed his attitude, pulling Lin Xue into his arms and squeezing her tightly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Xue was completely stunned by this person's sudden action!

Where is that refined and handsome young man?

How did he become a petty hooligan?

"Wife, what's wrong? Are you sick? Where do you feel unwell? Should I take you to the pharmacy?"

Just as he pulled his wife into his arms, he heard Lin Xue coughing softly and suppressedly, and Huang Dehai immediately felt uneasy.

He released the woman from his arms, carefully examined her body, and asked her how she felt.

"It's nothing, I just choked on some saliva!"

Lin Xue had never been so embarrassed. The reversal was too great. She simply couldn't imagine that such a sturdy and upright scholar could do such a thing.

"Forehead!!!"

"Honey, you must miss me, knowing I'll be gone for several days."

"Don't worry, I'll be able to go home in two days, and I'll definitely make it up to you then!"

Lin Xue had no idea what this scholar was imagining right now. She felt a chill run down her spine.

"Honey, I miss you so much!"

Huang Dehai embraced Lin Xue again and gently kissed her forehead.

He didn't want to be separated from his wife either!

They were all young and vigorous men; even scholars couldn't escape having those kinds of needs.

In the end, Huang Dehai used his strong willpower to release Lin Xue.

"Wife, you stay home and wait for me!"

"It's getting late, I have to go to the academy!"

Huang Dehai mistook Lin Xue's bewildered expression for reluctance to part.

He kissed her forehead again, then turned and quickly left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be reluctant to part with his wife.

"Phew~"

After Lin Xue and the others were completely out of sight, they finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

This woman, who was used to seeing big, fierce dogs, suddenly encountered such a cute little puppy.

Who can understand this feeling?

"Third son's wife, has the third son gone to school?"
