Chapter 429 - 429: Opening the Shop

“Oh my god, I’ve never seen so much silver in my life.” Madam Kong was speechless. Not to mention a few hundred taels, she had only seen ten taels of silver at most, but she had never seen a banknote.

When Madam Sun from the second branch and Madam Yun, the third daughter-in-law who came with them, heard this, they were also shocked.

This was especially true for Madam Yun. When her maiden family was still doing well, she had seen a hundred taels of silver notes. Therefore, she knew how much it cost to open a book shop. Not to mention the shop in town, it would cost at least fifty to sixty taels. Even those books cost more than 300 taels.

So much silver.

Even at the peak of her family’s prosperity, her family’s savings were only about 200 taels.

Later on, when she married into the second branch of the Chu family with twenty taels of dowry, her status was the highest among the three sisters-in-law. If her family did not fall, she would definitely not marry into the countryside.

Reality proved that her choice was ultimately correct. At least, someone from the Chu family was doing well.

As long as Chu Heng continued to take the examination and passed the advanced scholar examination, the entire Chu family would be able to turn the tables.

A trace of relief flashed in her eyes. Even the unwillingness hidden in the depths of her heart in the past disappeared along with it. What followed was her plan for the future.

“Fourth Aunt, you’re right. However, the more promising Brother Heng is, the more reputable we’ll be.” Madam Yun said with a faint smile. Her words were full of praise for Chu Heng.

Madam Sun looked at her third daughter-in-law in surprise. She had never seen her say such flattering words before.

However, when she thought about how her family had not been bullied all these years because of Chu Heng’s reputation as a scholar, she naturally admired her nephew. Nonetheless, she did not have any thoughts of taking advantage of him.

They had to live their own lives to survive. If they relied on others, their lives would not last long.

When Madam Kong heard this, she found it rather rare. “Shanlin, your family used to live quite well. Do you know how much it costs to open a bookstore? It’s probably quite a lot, right?”

Madam Kong deliberately asked this question, her voice carrying a hint of flaunting.

Madam Yun looked at her in surprise.

She had always known that Madam Kong was a typical country bumpkin. When she saw her just now, she must have been envious and jealous. When it was her turn, it became showing off?

Madam Yun did not like this person’s personality, but she would not embarrass her elders in front of the Chu family.

If they really made a fuss, she would be the one to blame. She was not that stupid.

Hearing this, she smiled lightly. “Fourth Aunt, you’re asking the wrong person. My family is a tea seller. I don’t know much about reading. Those who know about bookstores are probably from rich families.”

She did not belittle her family in a single sentence, but she also praised Chu Heng.

Madam Kong was in a good mood, so she did not hold on to her and went to talk to others. She was just a country woman after all. Although she was talkative, she did not have any bad intentions.

Ye Muyu watched as three rounds of tea were served.

It was getting late, so Chu Heng had already arranged for Lu Chuan to go to the county in advance. He would first go to the bookstore to pull all the books into the bookstore, then prepare the firecrackers and red cloth.

Otherwise, they would miss the auspicious time.

“Uncles and Aunties, let’s go to the Fragrance Restaurant in the county for lunch later. It’s almost the auspicious time now. Let’s go to the county together and see the shop open for business.” Chu Heng said.

The relatives in the house congratulated him.

“Heng, you go first. We’ll come later.” Madam Qian said with a smile.

“Alright.” Chu Heng nodded..
