Originally, Huo Yuan meticulously prepared the opening of this ginseng shop as a bridal gift to give her, but it seemed that it was no longer necessary.
Cai Wei widened her eyes abruptly. Seeing the high-end and luxurious decorations and furniture in the shop, she shook her head continuously, saying, "Big Brother Huo, I shouldn’t receive wages for work I haven’t done, how can I possibly accept such an expensive gift from you?"
Huo Yuan lightly laughed and said, "Just take what I give you as if I loaned it to you. You can run it first, and pay me back when you make money in the future!"
Cai Wei had indeed thought about opening a ginseng shop before, but back then she had Space. The century-old ginseng in Space was even more abundant than radishes in the cabbage patch, but now, let alone ginseng, even Space surprisingly disappeared, so what kind of ginseng shop would she open!
Feeling discouraged, Cai Wei said: "I don’t know the first thing about running a ginseng shop. I think it is better if you run it yourself, Big Brother Huo. I will come find you when I become capable in the future."
Huo Yuan didn’t like to force her, so he gave up when he saw her refusing to accept.
Although she couldn’t open the ginseng shop, it didn’t prevent Cai Wei from touring inside.
The ginseng shop could be regard as the number one in Great Jin Nation, whether it was the decoration of the shop or the goods inside, all of them were absolutely top-notch.
The fact that Huo Yuan was willing to invest such a large amount of money and so much effort on her showed his true feelings for her. Although Cai Wei’s heart didn’t waver, she felt deeply moved!
When she returned to the mansion, it was already late. Mu Zhongqing had already returned and was sitting in the hall with Lady Du, waiting for her.
"Wei’er, you are finally back. Why so late? Did the shop just close?" As Lady Du asked, she told Xiao Hong to serve food.
Cai Wei replied vaguely, taking out the money she made that day from her purse and giving it to her mom.
"Mother, here is what I earned today, keep it for now!"
"Ah, so much! There must be more than thirty taels?"
Lady Du said with surprise: "Today your father brought back more than seventy taels from the restaurant, and Fei’er brought back more than fifty taels from the cloth shop. Roughly counting, we have an income of more than one hundred and fifty taels a day, which is something we couldn’t even dream of before!"
"Yes, in the past, we couldn’t even make one hundred and fifty coppers per day!" Mu Zhongqing also said with emotion.
Jokingly, Cai Wei said: "I remember when we were living in Mu Family Village, mom, you said that ten taels would be enough when we went to sell the wild boar!"
Lady Du also began to smile, recalling those bleak days when she nervously took her daughter to sell the wild boar. At that time, ten taels of silver seemed astronomical to her. Yet, her daughter said that one day, we will have one hundred taels, one thousand taels, and ten thousand taels, and finally so much silver that we couldn’t count it all. She didn’t believe it then, thinking it was her daughter trying to cheer her up. But now, she no longer doubted it.
Without any warning, a wave of stomach acid almost made Lady Du vomit. She quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
Cai Wei chased after her, and when she got to the courtyard, she saw her mother leaning on the pear tree in the yard, bending over and retching.
"What happened? Why are you feeling unwell?"
Looking at her mother retching heavily, Cai Wei couldn’t help but worry.
Lady Du lifted her head, smiled weakly, slightly shy, and said: "We are going to have a new family member!"
Cai Wei was taken aback for a moment, then she was ecstatic!
Her mother was pregnant, which was great! Thinking about having another chubby little guy at home, Cai Wei was filled with anticipation.
