Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Business is Booming (3)_1

On the way home, from the horse carriage, Mu Zhongqing sincerely said to his daughter.

"Wei’er, you are amazing. Our current situation wouldn’t be possible without you!"

He saw his daughter grow up, but he had never dreamed that the shy, quiet girl from the past could turn into such a dominant character today!

Sometimes, he was finding his daughter very unfamiliar. She was efficient, dominant, lively, intelligent, and behaved like someone with decades of life experience. Whether it was any affair, she could handle it calmly and wisely. It was a far cry from her timid behavior in the past. If not for her face, which was the same as before, he wouldn’t believe that sitting across from him was his former daughter.

After hearing what Mu Zhongqing had said, Cai Wei chuckled nonchalantly and said, "It’s nothing, it’s just the first step of a long journey. In the future, we will have to open many shops, spread our Mu Family’s shops all over the Great Jin Nation, and you, Dad, will become a big rich man counting money until your hand cramps up from it!"

"Ha Ha Ha....."

Mu Zhongqing laughed at the picture his daughter painted, thinking she was joking to make him happy. He had no idea that one day, his daughter’s words would become a reality.

When they got back to Changchun Garden, Lady Du, Lady Mei, Cai Fei, and Wen’er were still awake, talking and waiting for them. As soon as the father and daughter returned, Lady Du hurried to meet them and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Have you eaten? I cooked some purple rice porridge and left it in the pot. I am bringing it in right now."

"Ah, Lady Mei, don’t bother, Wei’er and I have already eaten at the restaurant."

Mu Zhongqing stopped his wife and took a heavy bag of money from his bosom and handed it over.

"This is our income for the day, you keep it."

Upon receiving the bag of money and opening it, Lady Du was startled.

"Ah! How much is this? It must be about fifty taels!"

"Forty-four taels, six copper coins, three fractions!"

Mu Zhongqing supplemented.

"What? Earned more than forty taels in a day?"

Lady Du, Cai Fei, and Wen’er all stared at Mu Zhongqing in disbelief, stammered out their questions.

"Yes, this is what we earned in a day, and from now on, we can bring back this much every day!"

Mu Zhongqing proudly told his wife and children.

Seeing the money bag in her mother’s hand, Cai Fei hoped, "When we have this much money, we can go find a good imperial physician who can possibly heal my grandmother’s eyes. Her eyes are a result of crying blindness, not injury blindness, they should be curable."

Upon hearing the caring words of her granddaughter, Lady Mei felt warm in her heart, she said, "Even if we now have a lot of money, we shouldn’t waste it, you and Wei’er will need a lot of money when you marry into the family, as well as when the two boys get married. Your grandmothers’ eyes have been blind for more than ten years, and they won’t get better. Fei’er, you don’t have to worry about your grandmother’s eyes anymore!"

What Cai Fei said made Cai Wei feel guilty. These days, she was busy planning to open a shop and had forgotten to ask Old Tortoise to check her grandmother’s eyes. The Old Tortoise is a divine doctor, he must be able to heal grandmother’s eyes!

That night, when it was time to sleep, Cai Wei deliberately stayed in the east room to sleep with Lady Mei and Cai Fei, under the pretext of wanting to talk with her grandmother.

Lady Mei couldn’t wait for the children to be close to her. When she heard Cai Wei as wanting to stay with her, she hurriedly made arrangements, sent Xiao Hong and Xiao Qing, the two little maidservants, to Cai Wei’s bedroom to get Cai Wei’s bedding, and made up her kang (traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Xiao Hong and Xiao Qing behaved very respectfully towards Lady Mei, they didn’t dare slack at all, and hurriedly went to get the bedding upon hearing the orders.

Those who used to abuse Lady Mei in Duke An’s mansion lived in constant fear these days, regretting the mistakes they had made in the past, worrying that the family of the fourth aunt would dig up old accounts and expose their past abuses of Lady Mei.

Anybody could see that the Duke and Duchess were showing great leniency to the fourth aunt’s family. Even when their son-in-law and little daughter returned late at night, the Duke did not question them, and the Duchess even made special arrangements for the gatekeepers to leave the door open for them. This demonstrates the status of this family in the eyes of the Duke and Duchess. If they really wanted to turn over old accounts, the Duke and Duchess might not disallow it. Those people were terrified but secretly relieved that Lady Mei was blind and didn’t recognize them, otherwise, they might have started settling accounts long ago.
