The Marquis lowered his head and dared not say a word. It was obvious that he was also afraid of the old lady.
"Since you all have no objections, then let's settle this. From now on, everything at home will be handed over to Weiyue. She is good at business and is a genius in this area. We must not bury her talent."
Grandma grabbed Chu Weiyue's hand and sighed deeply: "Grandma is optimistic about you. From now on, this family will be handed over to you to take care of. Just go ahead and do it. Grandma will always support you."
Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up and she gave her grandmother a big hug: "Thank you, grandma. I will definitely manage this family better."
The grandfather and grandson were very affectionate in front of everyone, completely ignoring them.
The Marquis had an unpleasant expression on his face, but since the old lady valued Chu Weiyue so much, how could he dare to offend her!
Since she officially took over everything in the family, her status in the mansion has been at its peak, and all the maids and servants greet her respectfully when they see her.
Song and Chu Ranxin were both punished, and there was no sign of them for seven days.
After breakfast that morning, Chu Weiyue hummed a little tune in high spirits and walked slowly towards the store.
The clothes in the store have been sold out recently, and we are planning to rush to make new styles.
While thinking in his mind, he strode forward, when suddenly a burst of crying caught his attention.
A child about five or six years old was hugging a tree and crying loudly.
"Don't touch me, you are a bad person, I hate you! Let me go, I won't go with you..."
There was a woman standing next to him. She looked to be around thirty years old. She stretched out her hand and slapped the little boy hard on the butt.
"You are such a troublemaker, come back with me now, or I will beat you to death, come with me now!"
She grabbed the little boy's ear tightly and tried to take him away, but the little boy struggled desperately and punched and kicked the woman.
The woman became even more angry and picked up a stick on the ground and hit him hard on his legs, buttocks and back.
Waves of shrill screams were heard one after another, and Chu Weiyue's heart was tightened.
He immediately walked over and grabbed the stick in the woman's hand.
"Sister-in-law, what happened to this child? Why did you hit him?"
Most mothers love their children very much, so Chu Weiyue was a little puzzled as to how this woman could beat her child like that, since that child was her own flesh and blood.
The woman looked at Chu Weiyue cautiously, immediately threw the stick to the ground, and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you. This kid is not feeling well and he doesn't want to see a doctor, so I want to beat him up to teach him a lesson. I think he's also injured a little, so we'll leave first."
She held the little boy's hand tightly and tried to take him away, but the little boy still hugged the tree and refused to go with her.
Chu Weiyue's face darkened slightly. She had heard a lot about human traffickers kidnapping children, and this seemed to be the case.
So she stopped in front of the woman, looked her up and down, then looked at the child next to her and found that they did not look too similar.
"My dear lady, is this child really yours? If it is your child, why is he so resistant?"
The woman's expression was a little strange: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm a child trafficker?"
"If you really are not, then why is he so resistant? As to whether you are or not, let's go to the government office."
This made the woman angry and she tried to take the child away by force, but the child refused to leave.
Chu Weiyue stopped them and said, "If you don't explain clearly today, I won't let you take the child away. He is a child, not a tool for you to beat or scold."
At this moment, several patrolling officers happened to walk here, saw them arguing, and immediately came over to check.
"Brother officer, this woman wants to take the child away. I see the child is very afraid of her and is very resistant, so I suspect she is not the child's family member and may be a human trafficker."
Hearing this, several officers and soldiers became alert instantly.
The woman's face turned pale. "This is a huge misunderstanding. I swear he is really my son. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people on this street. They all know that I am his mother."
Then she came to an old lady who was selling combs.
"Auntie Zhou, tell them whether I am the mother of this child or not."
Aunt Zhou has been selling combs here for many years. Chu Weiyue has some impression of her. It seems that the original owner has a lot of her combs.
After a pause, Aunt Zhou nodded without hesitation: "Yes, she is the child's mother. The child is called Wang Xiao and has been very naughty since he was young."
The uncle selling vegetables nearby also echoed the sentiment. Many merchants on this street had seen the child's mother.
After their confirmation, there was almost no doubt that the child was indeed the biological son of the woman.
This made Chu Weiyue a little puzzled, and she felt guilty for recognizing the wrong person.
"I'm so sorry, big sister. I thought you were a human trafficker. I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing. Everyone would misunderstand something like this. It's my fault. I shouldn't have beaten and scolded him in the street and caused you to misunderstand. Sorry to bother you all. I'll take him back first."
This time the child did not struggle, but was still very resistant to the woman's touch.
Watching the two people leaving, Chu Weiyue frowned in confusion. For some reason, she always felt that this mother and son were strange.
She had her own things to do right now and didn't take it to heart.
When I entered the store, I found that the newly hired guys were working very hard.
There are only four guys now. Although not many, there are not as many customers as at the beginning, so they can just keep up with the work.
Sitting on a chair and pouring a cup of tea, Chu Weiyue looked at the store's cash flow carefully and calmly.
Although the customer flow has decreased, it has been very stable in recent times and has made considerable profits every day.
Although this is her first time doing business, she is also aware that there are usually bigger promotions and discounts in the opening days, when the customer flow is the highest. There are not so many now, but it is also normal.
Old Zhou came out with some clothes and came to Chu Weiyue.
"Miss, these clothes are the most popular in the store. Many of them are slim-fitting. Some customers with fatter figures want to buy them, but we don't have their sizes. What do you think we should do?"
Chu Weiyue frowned and realized that he had overlooked this problem.
"I understand. I will go to Su Xiu Niang in a few days and ask them to make some larger-sized clothes."
No matter what era, there are always fat and thin body types. We can’t just sell clothes for thin people, we also have to take those fat people who love beauty into consideration.
There was no problem with the store's cash flow. The workers worked very hard, so we rewarded them with a big meal at noon.
