Chapter 233 New Business
Chu Xuan jokingly said as he lay down on the kang, "It's good that you realize where you're wrong. We agreed that you'll rest well tonight and stop bothering me."
Mu Chenze vowed, "I promise not to bother you and will let you have a good rest."
Chu Xuan didn't believe it at all. After lying down, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Mu Chenze whispered, "Wife, what are you laughing at?"
"I am happy to marry you, and a smile will naturally appear on my face."
"I don't think you're laughing because of this. You think I'm going to go back on my word."
"That's right."
"If I don't keep my word, I'm a puppy."
Chu Xuan still covered her mouth and laughed.
Mu Chenze glanced at the bed sheet. "Have you changed the sheets? Where's the bed from last night?"
Chu Xuan pointed to the red basin under the table.
Mu Chenze walked over, smiled, picked up the red basin and walked out, "Wife, I'm going to wash the sheets, you have a good rest."
"Ze, I am so lucky to have found a good husband like you who loves and cares for me..."
Chu Xuan praised him generously, and Mu Chenze happily left the house, washing the sheets in the yard while humming a song...
It was not until the evening that Mu Chenze realized how unreliable the promise he made to his wife was.
He was a young man full of vigor and vitality, and with such a beautiful and gentle wife before him...
The next day, Mu Chenze was given the nickname of puppy by Chu Xuan.
Today I am going back home.
Chu Xuan changed into a pink dress.
Although Mu Chenze failed to keep his promise last night, fortunately he didn't stay up too late and went to bed before ten o'clock.
Chu Xuan had enough sleep and was in good spirits.
After breakfast, Qin Mahua hung the gifts she had prepared in advance on the handlebars of her bicycle.
Mu Chenze rode his bike and took Chu Xuan out.
After watching them leave, Qin Mahua whispered to Fu Qing, "Luckily Chenfu talked to Xiaoze yesterday, otherwise he would have been busy until the early morning again last night."
Fu Qing talked openly with her mother-in-law, not feeling shy at all. "From her voice, she seems to have calmed down a lot. We really have to talk to Chenfu and Chenze about this. We can't tell Xiaoxuan. After all, Xiaoxuan is new here and has a thin skin. Unlike me, I've already developed a thick skin and always want my mother to tolerate me."
Thinking back to the past, Chen Fu and she had done the same thing before. If they were not careful and restrained, it would be the woman who would suffer.
Qin Mahua responded kindly, "It's not that I always tolerate you. You also tolerate me sometimes. Come with me into the house. I'll give you the money you and Xiaoxuan earned from fishing. When she comes back, you can give it to her."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
"What's there to thank me for? You guys earned the money based on your own abilities. I can't deduct any of it, or I'll be like Zhou Paopi."
"If other families don't divide the family property, even if the daughter-in-law earns money herself, she has to give part of it to the public."
"We don't have that rule in our family."
In the Mu family, the men are responsible for earning money, and the women keep the money they earn for themselves.
Fu Qing especially likes this.
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze accompanied Chu Xuan back to her parents' home.
Tian Xiaoyun and Chu Feng welcomed them warmly.
Tian Xiaoyun prepared the hand-rolled noodles early. There was hot water in the stove, and she quickly put the hand-rolled noodles into the pot.
Today her daughter is coming back to her parents' home, and as a mother, she wants to cook noodles for her daughter and son-in-law, which means longevity.
Mu Chenze and his wife, who had just finished breakfast, had another meal.
Fortunately, it was just a small bowl per person.
They ate it all.
After eating, Chu Feng rushed to wash the dishes without waiting for them to clean up.
Tian Xiaoyun called Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze to the main room to talk.
"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Ze, Xiao Feng and I will be leaving our village tomorrow. Are you two planning to come back and live in this yard?"
That's a good suggestion.
Mu Chenze wanted to come back and live here, so that he and Xiaoxuan would have their own private space.
What's more, kangs are heated in this season, so there is no need to worry about the dampness being bad for your health.
Wait until the weather gets warmer tomorrow and then move back to the Mu family.
However, he had to listen to his wife on this matter. He looked at her and motioned her to speak.
Chu Xuan, however, heard another meaning in her mother's words, "Mom, is there anyone who wants to rent our house?"
Tian Xiaoyun nodded gently, "Several families came to ask yesterday."
"Who are they?"
"Your grandmother Gao's family, Zhaodi's family, and the widow Qiu."
"Widow Qiu? Chu Dashan's unmarried daughter-in-law?"
"It's her."
Chu Xuan suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Chu Dashan was so generous, giving a gift of a hundred yuan. Turns out he's after our house. We absolutely can't rent it to Widow Qiu and him!"
"Actually, I didn't want to rent it to Widow Qiu, but..." Tian Xiaoyun looked embarrassed.
Chu Xuan knew what she was struggling with. "Grandma Gao and Zhaodi's family have a good relationship with ours, so it wouldn't be a good idea to rent it to anyone else."
Tian Xiaoyun nodded gently, "Yes, both families want to rent our yard because we have a oven. They want to make some steamed buns and pancakes to sell in town, and it's comfortable to live here. If only one family asked, you and Chen Ze would rent it out."
Chu Xuan looked at Mu Chenze and said, "Why don't we make use of this yard?"
Mu Chenze felt that his wife had thought of another way to make money, "How to use it? Wife, just tell me, I will definitely support you."
Chu Xuan was amused by him and patted the back of his hand lightly, "How about we start a bread baking business?"
Mu Chenze responded gently, "I strongly support it, but we don't have the recipe!"
Chu Xuan looked at Tian Xiaoyun, "Mom, when you go abroad, can you help me buy some bread recipes?"
Tian Xiaoyun looked proud, "Do I need to buy this? I know more than a dozen bread recipes."
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze looked at her with admiration at the same time.
Chu Feng, who had just finished washing the dishes, also heard this and ran into the main room, saying excitedly, "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to bake bread for us."
Tian Xiaoyun looked puzzled. "Xiaofeng, do you like bread very much? I didn't see you eat the bread I brought back from abroad last time. You gave it away. I remember you said you didn't like it very much."
Now the truth was revealed, Chu Feng said with an apologetic look, "Actually, I couldn't bear to eat it, so I left it for Zhaodi and her two siblings."
Tian Xiaoyun was helpless, "Okay! When we get abroad, I will bake bread for you every day."
Chu Feng was very happy. "Thank you, Mom! Mom, let's bake two batches today! Actually, my sister likes it too. She didn't eat much before because she wanted to maintain her figure and leave a good impression on her brother-in-law. Now that she's married, she's not so particular."
Having said that, he deliberately looked at Mu Chenze, "Right? Brother-in-law?"
Mu Chenze immediately sat up straight, "Xiao Xuan, no matter whether she's fat or thin, I like her. Eat whatever she wants! I support you!"
Chu Xuan quickly explained with a smile, "I didn't eat much bread before, but because I found out Xiaofeng was secretly giving it to Zhaodi and her two siblings, I told Xiaofeng that I was trying to stay in shape and not eat bread."
Chu Feng then realized that his sister had reluctantly given up most of the bread for him to give away.
In fact, he had just encouraged his mother to bake two batches of bread so that he could send more to Zhaodi's house.
Tian Xiaoyun thought about things more comprehensively, "Xiaoxuan, instead of selling baked bread, why not sell the recipe?"
Chu Xuan didn't hide her feelings. "Mom, here's what I'm thinking. I'll open a bakery first and let others see how successful it is. Then, if the village office is willing to invest, I'll use the bread recipe as a stake. If the business isn't as good as I thought, I'll sell the bread recipe to a pastry factory for cash."
Tian Xiaoyun gave a thumbs up and said, "My daughter's brain is really good."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Is anyone home?"
Chu Xuan and the others recognized the voice almost at the same time. It was Chu Dashan.
Mu Chenze clenched his fists and said, "I'll ask him to leave."
Want to rent this yard? No way!
