Discussing something?
Qin Zheng's expression flashed with surprise. Why was Ye Yun speaking to him in a consultative tone?
He scratched the back of his head. "Wife... what... what do you want to do?"
Ye Yun put her arm around his shoulder from behind and chuckled, "Here's the thing, I discovered a new business opportunity when I went out today, and I'm wondering... if you would support it?"
"I'll support whatever you want to do."
Qin Zheng replied almost without thinking, looking intently at her face as he spoke, knowing that his wife always had her reasons for everything she did.
Ye Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go to Yiwu in a few days."
"What?"
Qin Zheng felt something was wrong with his ears and turned to look at Ye Yun in surprise.
Gu Jin, who was drinking water, also looked over.
Tian Xiaohui had no idea what had happened. She didn't even know where Yiwu was. She was just wondering why Brother Qin Zheng was reacting so strongly.
"Honey, you're not kidding, are you?" Qin Zheng stammered.
He's traveled all over the country over the years, how could he not know where Yiwu is?
He was well aware of the prosperity of Yiwu, and how far ahead its development was from his mountainous area.
But that place is very far away.
Qin Zheng stared at her hesitantly, opened his lips, and finally managed to utter, "Wife, can we not go?"
Ye Yun: "Why?"
Qin Zheng took her small hand and made her sit down beside him, saying, "If it were before, I wouldn't have stopped you, but it's different now. You're pregnant, so why don't you stay home and rest?"
Ye Yun thought to herself, she's pregnant, not disabled.
Just taking a train trip to see the sights.
It's not like we're doing heavy labor in the fields or on mountains.
“Qin Zheng, I think we can give it a try,” Gu Jin said, her face serious. “Pregnant women aren’t as delicate as you think. When my mother was pregnant with my sister, she went up the mountain with my father to work on a construction project.”
Qin Zheng gave him a cold look. "Shut up. You know your mother is pregnant with your sister too."
Gu Jin: "..."
Oh, I got scolded.
When Gu Yingying came into his life, he was already five or six years old. Before his mother and father went into business, they both worked in government agencies. They would travel together for ten days or half a month at a time, and often just dropped him off at the company's daycare. He was surrounded by other people's parents every day, so how could he not know?
Gu Yingying was born successfully while her mother was surveying the mountains.
After listening to Gu Jin's words, Qin Zheng still disagreed, "How many women are like your mother? Pregnancy and childbirth are inherently dangerous. Don't you have any idea how many accidents happen in hospitals?"
Gu Jin: "..."
Ugh, I got scolded again.
Ye Yun rubbed her forehead, thinking that her trip to Yiwu was probably out of the question.
A slight warmth touched her hand as Qin Zheng grasped her small hand. She looked up and met the man's gentle yet earnest gaze.
Qin Zheng stared at her without moving, and coaxed her softly, "Honey, I don't mean to stop you. I'm just thinking that you're pregnant right now and it's not suitable for you to travel around alone. But I'm busy with work and can't take care of you right now. How about this, wait half a month. If you still want to go to Yiwu after half a month, I'll go with you, okay?"
Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.
Does this mean he's agreed?
Qin Zheng seemed to see the surprise in her eyes, patted her head, and chuckled, "I won't stop you from doing what you want to do, but money takes time to earn. Why don't you focus on getting your shop sorted out first, okay?"
Ye Yun nodded, "Okay, we'll talk about it if I want to go again later."
Qin Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
In truth, he didn't want Ye Yun to go to Yiwu at all. Not to mention going to Yiwu, he didn't even want Ye Yun to open the shops he owned.
It's nothing else, I'm just tired.
He was afraid of tiring his wife out.
They are not short of money.
However, one must always find something to do in life.
He also understood Ye Yun; his little wife was a troublemaker. If he let her stay at home all day doing nothing, she would probably get sick from it.
Qin Zheng went to boil water.
After a busy day outside, Ye Yun's ankles often ache when she gets home, and soaking her feet in warm water is the most comfortable thing for her.
As soon as he left, Gu Jin seized the opportunity to approach Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, do you really want to go to Yiwu?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, "?"
A glint of light appeared in Gu Jin's eyes as she said, "If you want to go, I'll go with you. I've wanted to try running my own business for a long time."
"I'm not going."
"ah?"
"I said, I'm not going," Ye Yun said.
Gu Jin was stunned.
"Didn't you just...?"
"If Qin Zheng doesn't want me to go, then I won't go. I'll listen to him." Ye Yun smiled, waved her hand, and lay down in the rocking chair without saying another word.
Gu Jin: "..."
A night breeze blew by, wiping away the tears that Gu Jin couldn't hold back.
Damn it, I got shown up again.
Ye Yun lay in the rocking chair, gazing at the sky above her head. She could hear Qin Zheng pouring water and felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Of course, we still need to make money.
Having witnessed the prosperity of later generations, she deeply understood the importance of money, and she always felt uneasy when she had no food reserves.
...
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The custom-made tables, chairs, benches, and bookshelves were ready. The carpenter, along with his young son, personally delivered them to the shop entrance on a cart. Ye Yun hurriedly greeted them and asked them to help arrange the furniture according to the original plan.
Afterwards, she personally poured water for the two of them.
The carpenter nodded with a smile, and when settling the bill, he proactively rounded it down to zero for Ye Yun before leaving with his son, satisfied.
With Ye Yun's money, he had saved enough for his son's wedding dowry.
The shop has been completely transformed.
You can still hear the noise from the street when you're outside, but once you enter the inner room, you instantly enter a quiet environment.
One empty wall was painted with a blackboard, on which was written: No noise.
Some mottoes were written on the blackboard, and a box of chalk was placed next to it so that customers could leave messages on the blackboard.
A quiet environment is also particularly suitable for reading or resting.
The opening day arrived quickly.
As firecrackers went off and amidst the festive smoke, Ye Ji Pastry opened for business.
On that day, Ye Yun launched a three-day half-price promotion. In addition to staple foods such as mung bean cake and thin noodle dumplings, she also made several other easy-to-eat homemade desserts. The cheap prices and variety of pastries attracted many customers to the store.
What Ye Yun didn't expect was...
On the very first day of business, we encountered some unexpected people.
"Huh? Isn't this the wife from Blackwater Village?" A woman in her thirties walked over and asked, puzzled.
She was with a group of people, and her suspicious gaze swept over Ye Yun from head to toe with ill intent.
Ye Yunxin couldn't help but mention it.
She quietly told Tian Xiaohui to go ahead with her work, then put on a kind smile and walked towards the group of women, saying gently, "Ladies, are you here to sell mung bean cakes?"
