But this good life also came at a price. First of all, the two of them had no money. Zhou Mu used to be able to do some business copying and annotating books in a bookstore, making two or three taels a month, but with the autumn examination approaching, he was studying day and night to prepare for the exam, so how could he make any money?
In order to support her husband in the imperial examination, Ye Xiyan could only give him a few cents from her own pocket, but the money could not last long, and the two of them lived a relatively petty-bourgeois life.
From time to time, she also had to have some wine and snacks. In order to ensure the quality of life, Ye Xiyan also bought a maid, just hoping to see Zhao Taohua again in the future so that she could show off her skills.
However, the money she saved was gradually running out, and she was afraid that she could not even support her maid. She had no choice but to ask for help from her parents, and would ask them to come over for meals from time to time to ask for some money.
After all, Master Ye had seen that Zhou Muyu was a talented and handsome man and was really willing to support his studies. If Zhou Muyu passed the high school entrance examination, the Ye family would also benefit greatly.
Whatever you plan is good.
Zhou Muyu also made up his mind, to cling to the Ye family, study hard, and turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside. As long as he passed the high school entrance examination, he would be proud of himself.
Even if you fail, you still have a chance in the next life. The imperial examination system in the Daye Dynasty was not that difficult, and there was a chance every day.
But Zhou Mu had never dreamed that those wealthy families in the county who were rich could go bankrupt one day. He had never heard of it before.
In this era, once you cross a class, it is difficult to fall down unless there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster.
But just now, when he was listening outside the door, it seemed that the Ye family's business had suffered a serious blow, and the person who severely damaged the Ye family's braised meat business was actually Zhao Taohua.
I used to think that the woman was just making trouble and couldn't do anything new. I didn't expect that in such a short time, she would become so rich and could even threaten the Ye family.
In Zhou Mu's opinion, this is a collapse and a reversal of the Tiangang.
It seemed that the braised meat business was robbed and it was nothing, but he didn't expect that even the most profitable rouge shop was squeezed out and deserted. Although he didn't know why Tianxiangfang was squeezed out like this, in Zhou Mu's subconscious, it was Jue and Zhao Taohua.
Impossible, impossible, how could she be so troubled? If she was so troubled, she wouldn't have been so miserable in the first place. It's absolutely impossible.
Although he threw away this idea, Zhou Mu still stubbornly believed it.
It's just very strange.
At this time, Zhao Taohua's current appearance appeared before him again and again.
"Muki Muki...my father is asking you a question."
Ye Xiyan's anxious voice came to her ears. What happened to Zhou Muyu today? He was so dazed and stupid when he came in. He didn't even answer questions. It was embarrassing for her.
Zhou Muyi finally reacted and nodded quickly: "Father-in-law."
Mr. Ye used to think highly of Zhou Mu, but now, seeing that he was furious, he said unhappily, "Master Xiucai, I just asked if you could pass the imperial examination this afternoon."
"this……"
The question was asked in a sarcastic tone, and Zhou Mu was immediately angry and anxious, but he couldn't show it. How could anyone ask such a question in the world? If it wasn't for borrowing money, he wouldn't have accepted such a humiliation.
"Dad, why are you asking me that? Why ask now whether I passed or not? We haven't taken the exam yet. Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Ye Xiyan said.
Master Ye sneered, "Then how do you want me to ask? I'm just a businessman. Forget it. I don't expect you to come. Now that you're here, I have something to say."
"What's up?"
Mentioning this, Master Ye's expression turned sour again, even ugly. He glared at Zhou Muyi dissatisfiedly and said, "Is your ex-wife doing this on purpose? Since your divorce, she has been deliberately doing the braised meat business, specifically to oppose my Ye family. Now that you two are together, our Ye family's business is finished..."
