Chapter 127: Unable to Refute
Cheng Yue left the shop and went straight to the money shop. Holding silver notes made people feel at ease even though they didn't have real money.
After exchanging the silver, he threw it all into the space while no one was paying attention.
Soon after leaving the money shop, Cheng Yue keenly realized that someone was following her. As expected, the places with the most thieves were either in front of the pawnshop or the money shop.
After a moment's thought, he walked into a nearby clothing store.
I borrowed a room from the proprietress to remove my makeup and change my clothes before leaving the shop.
Cheng Yue glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw two burly men sitting at a noodle stall looking over here, but their eyes lingered on her for a moment before looking away.
The alarm was lifted and Cheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief. There were many men and women coming and going in the clothing store just now, and she chose this one on purpose.
The proprietress receives many customers, so they don't pay too much attention to her makeup and appearance. Even if the two men came into the shop and asked about it, they wouldn't be able to get any information.
Moreover, she changed her face and clothes, so the two thieves couldn't recognize her.
She didn't know the other person's identity. If he was an ordinary thief, it would be fine. But if he was a desperate robber, it would be dangerous.
Acting cautiously can save your life.
It's just that this set of clothes can't be worn in the future, it's a pity that I spent more than one tael of silver on buying clothes. I'll just consider it as a loss to avoid disaster.
Cheng Yue went straight back to the shop through the back door, went into the room to change into another set of clothes. As soon as she came out, she saw Chen Lin and the others carrying a tray into the backyard.
Chen Lin was puzzled: "Mom, why did you come out of the room? Why did you change your clothes?"
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, my clothes just got dirty."
Although the three children already knew about the existence of space, the matter of the glass cup was of great importance, so Cheng Yue did not intend to tell them.
Chen Lin didn't think much about it, nodded, and continued packing with Zhang Shaowen.
They have to speed up as they have to continue braising the chicken and duck in the afternoon.
Cheng Yue walked to the lobby. Seeing her return safely, Chen An immediately asked with concern: "A Yue, you are finally back. Did you not arouse suspicion?"
It was only a quarter of an hour, but he felt like he had been waiting for several hours, fearing that something bad might happen to Cheng Yue.
This glass is really too rare.
Cheng Yue casually told Chen An about the encounter with the thief so that he could also be alert.
Chen An was shocked after hearing this, "I'm afraid they weren't thieves. Fortunately, Ah Yue was smart and got rid of them."
Cheng Yue chuckled. It seemed that Chen An would not say anything other than saying how great she was and how smart she was. In short, he was just a compliment machine.
Then he whispered, "I exchanged the glass cup for five hundred taels, and I changed it all into silver and put it in there."
"Five hundred taels?!" After being shocked, Chen An asked again, "Thirty taels for one shop, Ah Yue, how many shops are you going to buy?"
Magical things are just different. A small cup is actually worth so much money.
In the past, he would never have dared to think about it, but now, even if Cheng Yue said that he had exchanged it for several thousand taels, he would not doubt it.
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said, "We can't buy too many, or it will easily arouse suspicion. Otherwise, let's buy three."
They have only been in business for a short time, and it would be unthinkable for them to take out several hundred taels at once. Even when facing Mr. Chen San, they have to be careful.
Chen An nodded and said, "I'll do as you say. When should we go over to talk to my brother and sister-in-law?"
Cheng Yue was surprised. The matter of brother and sister-in-law was just her idea and she hadn't told Chen An about it yet. Unexpectedly, he thought the same as her.
Chen An smiled and said, "Then why are you looking at me? How can I not know what you are thinking?"
They have been married for many years, how could they not understand each other? Especially since they separated, their thoughts have become more synchronized, and they often think of the same thing.
He knew very well how good his parents-in-law were to him, so of course he would think about good things.
Cheng Yue blushed slightly, "I did think so, but my brother and sister-in-law definitely don't have enough money, so I plan to lend them some.
I have to give Mr. Chen San a reply tomorrow. After I prepare the stewed food this afternoon, we will go directly to Qingshan Village."
Chen An raised his lips and said, "Okay!"
After the two finished talking, Zhao Changyong wiped the table, and the three of them went to the backyard together. After dinner, Cheng Yue took Chen Lin and the other three to continue learning how to make braised food.
After making the stewed food, Cheng Yue instructed: "Shao Wen, Chang Yong, when you go home tonight, tell your family that you will stay overnight in the shop starting tomorrow so that they can rest assured.
The beddings are all new, you can use them directly, just bring your spare clothes with you."
"Sister-in-law Cheng Yue, we know."
Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong had already made preparations and were going to deliver the goods tomorrow. In fact, they should have stayed in the shop tonight.
But I didn’t expect that Cheng Yue actually prepared new bedding.
Not to mention that the cloth used to make clothes would be deducted from the wages, but the bedding was actually for their use and was much more valuable than the clothes.
The two were about to say something when Cheng Yue stopped them, "Come on, let's go to the bedroom and see if there's anything missing."
Then he called Chen Lin, Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong to go to the bedroom. Chen Lin knew what Cheng Yue bought, so he didn't say anything.
But Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong were moved when they saw that there were not only beddings but also washbasins and even face towels prepared.
What else is missing? It’s almost more complete than what we have at home.
Zhao Changyong gently touched the soft quilt and murmured, “Sister Cheng Yue, this is a cotton quilt, it’s too expensive.
Why don't you take it home before we cover it, and exchange it for a bed of reed or poplar catkins?"
Anyway, they have been using this thing since they were young, so it’s no big deal. How could they dare to use a quilt?
I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well, and I won’t dare get into bed without washing my feet clean.
Cheng Yue shook her head and laughed, "Since I asked you to build it, just build it steadily.
If you catch a cold because of the bad quilt, I will have to pay for your medical expenses, so I will lose money. Who will manage the shop?
Besides, not only you guys will sleep here, Xiaolin will sleep here too, so am I supposed to just prepare a blanket for my own child and leave it to you guys to watch?"
Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong looked at each other and had no choice but to agree. What Cheng Yue said made so much sense that they couldn't refute it.
After coming out of the bedroom, Cheng Yue went into the kitchen, put the whole pot of braised food into the space, locked the door, and the group went straight home.
When they arrived in the town, Cheng Yue put Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong down and said, "We have something to do in Qingshan Village. You go home first and I'll call a bullock cart for you."
Although it was not late, Zhao Changyong had difficulty walking and it would definitely take a lot of effort for him to walk back. Hiring a bullock cart would only cost a few cents, and she had not yet deducted the money for mistreating her employees.
Zhao Changyong wanted to refuse but couldn't. He walked slowly, so what would Shao Wen do? He had no choice but to nod.
Sister Cheng Yue cares so much about them, they must do a good job!
The two of them got on the ox cart, and Cheng Yue and the other three went straight to the cloth shop, bought some cloth, and then went to Qingshan Village.
I've said a long time ago that I'd go back to my parents' house to buy some things, but I never found the time, so I'll make up for it today.
