Chapter 290 Pocket Money for You
Three days later, the old grandfather slightly closed his eyes, looked Tu Subo up and down, a faint smile on his lips, and slowly asked, "Is this your idea?"
Tu Subo said calmly, "I wouldn't say it was my idea, but I was the one who stopped Second Aunt and Xuan Xuan from bringing it up first."
After a brief thought, he explained, "Grandfather might not object, but Second Aunt's desire to open her own embroidery shop and become the manager might seem unconventional to Mother and Third Aunt. If I bring it up first, they might be more receptive."
With the help of Second Aunt's words and actions, the deep-rooted stubborn ideas in Xi Lanfang's heart have been cleverly broken, and the following things seem to go smoothly and easily.
Tu Subo revealed his selfish motives without reservation and stated them frankly in front of his respected grandfather without any affectation.
The old grandfather was amused by his frankness and said, "Boy, you are so straightforward that it's endearing."
"Do you think I would agree so easily? Your daughter-in-law already knows that this is unconventional, but haven't you noticed it?"
"Of course I know."
Tu Subo said calmly, "But since Grandfather didn't stop Xuanxuan from reclaiming that wasteland on a large scale, he probably wouldn't think this behavior was so unconventional."
"Grandfather, I truly think this is an ideal approach. What do you think?"
The smile on the grandfather's face gradually faded, and his voice unconsciously became low: "Tu Subo, the business world is like a battlefield, and it is ultimately considered a low-end industry. Do you really have the heart to let your daughter-in-law bear this hardship?"
Tu Subo smiled bitterly, lowered his head and said, "Of course I can't bear it."
"But Grandfather, I am currently unable to provide her with a better life."
"If she is willing to try, I will pave the way for her; if one day she gets tired and no longer wants to take care of these matters, then I will take over everything she is unwilling to deal with."
He is unable to provide Gu Yuexuan with a carefree life for the time being, but he will do his best to clear the obstacles for her progress.
Tu Subo rubbed his cheeks, sighed deeply, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandfather, what Xuanxuan is doing is of vital importance to me, and in the near future, these efforts will surely become the most powerful pillar of the Tu Su family."
"I owe her so much, I..."
"You owe her more than just you."
The old grandfather frowned, interrupted him, closed his eyes and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, just go for it."
Amid the prejudices of the mundane world, the Tu Su family has always been unconventional, even unique.
Since obtaining the approval and support of the family's highly respected grandfather, the affairs of the Tu Su family have been smooth sailing with much less resistance.
Tu Subo's efficiency was astonishing. He didn't even let Gu Yuexuan spend the slightest bit of effort. Just like that, just over ten days later, when people mentioned the matter again, they were surprised to find that everything had been arranged in an orderly and almost perfect manner.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes lit up with surprise and delight as she listened. She spoke in disbelief, "You're saying you've already thoroughly understood the price the embroidery shop owner wants to sell the shop, and have even preliminarily negotiated the future supply channels for the embroidery shop's various raw materials?"
"So, Second Aunt only needs to have some money to take over smoothly?"
Tu Subo smiled slightly, gently held her fingers, and replied gently: "It's not that simple."
"Cheng Jing'en knows very little about silk thread and raw materials, so Second Aunt will have to carefully select them herself. I had planned to wait until the crops in the fields were harvested before mentioning this matter, but judging by the current situation, it seems the embroidery shop can't wait any longer."
"Tomorrow I will personally lead a team to harvest your precious experimental fields and ensure that everything is correct. Tu Su Minfei will return and take you and Second Aunt to the county town. If you both agree that everything is appropriate, then we can proceed to finalize this matter."
Gu Yuexuan never expected Tu Subo to handle things so quickly and efficiently. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and gently pinched Tu Subo's straight nose: "You are really amazing, how come you are so amazing?"
"Really, I'm flattered by your thoughtfulness."
Tu Subo laughed dumbly after hearing this, raised one eyebrow, and gently cast his gaze on Gu Yuexuan's bright eyes, whispering: "Do you think I'm okay now?"
“I feel like I’m not good enough for you…”
His words were so low and soft that Gu Yuexuan couldn't hear them clearly at all.
Gu Yuexuan tilted her head in confusion and looked at him: "Tu Subo, what were you talking about just now?"
"nothing."
Tu Subo stood up and took out an exquisite box from the small chest of drawers at the head of the bed. He opened the box and took out a five-hundred-liang silver note. He gently placed it in Gu Yuexuan's hand. Then, holding her hand, he placed the box containing the silver note securely back into the chest of drawers. "I've kept all the private money I've accumulated from various sources over the years here. If you need it, you can open the chest and take it at any time."
"My future self, blend in with it and stop touching your little things."
Live in the same room and sleep on the same bed.
Logically speaking, nothing could be hidden in such a small space. If Gu Yuexuan had paid a little attention, she should have noticed that Tu Subo had hidden the box in the chest of drawers the day before.
However, this person seemed to be in a state of confusion and unconsciousness.
If Tu Subo hadn't mentioned it today, she might never have discovered this secret.
Tu Subo didn't know whether other couples also guarded their personal belongings so strictly and kept clear boundaries, but he felt that Gu Yuexuan seemed too reserved and didn't need to be like that.
The box contained a considerable amount of banknotes, a thick stack. Gu Yuexuan's eyes flickered slightly, not wanting to investigate their origins. She simply put the banknotes away and asked doubtfully, "Didn't they say the cost of purchasing the embroidery shop would be covered by the public treasury? Why did they give me this money separately?"
Tu Subo gently stroked the tip of her nose, a smile on his lips as he teased, "Who told you to forget to pick it up?"
"Here's your pocket money. Buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough, just write it down and take it home. I'll take care of the bill."
Gu Yuexuan rarely experienced the extravagance of spending money. She supported herself on the stool with both hands and giggled happily.
Tu Subo looked at her with a smile, but said nothing more. When dinner came, he naturally brought up the matter of the embroidery shop.
It's just a different way of saying it.
Xi Lanfang looked at him with confusion on her face and asked in disbelief, "You mean, you plan to buy that embroidery shop?"
Tu Subo nodded slightly: "Exactly."
"Why do you suddenly want to buy an embroidery shop?"
Xi Lanfang said with a puzzled look, "Our family currently runs a grain business and also owns a winery. The income is more than enough to cover our expenses. Why did you suddenly think of buying an embroidery shop?"
Li was also shocked.
