Chapter 74 Bringing Back Chu Qian and Chu Yao

Tian Tian doesn't have that much money.

Including Lu Tao and Liu San Niang, the total amount was at most two hundred taels.

It's a long way from 800 taels.

but...

Tian Tian has a century-old ginseng that she hasn't sold yet.

And...she also has a temporary purse—Qian Fulai!

"Don't worry, big sister, I have a plan." Tian Tian took the wooden board and went upstairs.

Xiao Si followed, "Second Miss, what's going on?"

“I’m talking to your master about buying the shop,” Tian Tian said matter-of-factly.

Being in a good position gives her an advantage; she'd been waiting for this day and couldn't let someone else get there first.

After the doctor's treatment, Madam Chu's right arm, which had previously been completely numb, began to feel a tingling sensation.

She was lying on a makeshift bed made of chairs.

Master Chu was comforting them from the side.

"The doctor said you need to rest and avoid overexertion."

"Then why should we even open a restaurant?"

"Let's just sell it. That way, we can give Wang'er some more money to live on. He won't be able to go to Xizhou without money."

"We've worked hard all our lives, it's time for us to take a good rest."

"As for Wang'er, he did something wrong and should be punished. Whether he can come back in this lifetime is up to fate."

"Lord Li has already shown leniency. If this were to be pursued further, it would be a crime punishable by beheading."

Madam Chu's words were still unclear, "Oh, um... oh..."

Master Chu held her hand. "Don't talk. Lie down for a while. Once you feel better, we'll go back."

Besides the restaurant, they also have a courtyard in the county.

“Ugh, um, ah…” Madam Chu nodded, holding Master Chu’s hand tightly.

Xiao Si gently knocked on the door of the side room. "Master, someone wants to buy the shop."

"So fast?" Master Chu exclaimed in surprise.

Looking up, I saw Tian Tian and Tian Xiang standing there.

"You want to buy the shop?"

Tian Tian nodded, "Mmm."

Master Chu had mixed feelings.

Back then, Madam disliked Tian Xiang in every way because she thought the Tian family was a poor farming family!

Especially Tian Xiang's parents, who had virtually no presence in the Tian family.

She desperately wanted Chu Xing to marry a young lady from the county, or even a young lady from a minor official's family.

At that time, she had already set her sights on the daughter of a ninth-rank patrol inspector in the county government and was asking someone to act as a matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xing suddenly said he wanted to marry Tian Xiang, and the more she tried to stop him, the more determined Chu Xing became.

She couldn't persuade Chu Xing to marry Tian Xiang against his wishes, even though Tian Xiang was gentle and virtuous, she still couldn't stand her.

Who would have thought.

Now they want to sell the shop, and the buyers are none other than the Tian Xiang sisters.

Tian Xiang's family became wealthy, but their family...

Hey!

"Chu Xing Restaurant...according to the current market price, it can be sold for eight hundred taels," said Master Chu.

Tian Tian readily agreed, "No problem, eight hundred taels it is."

Master Chu gently patted Madam Chu's hand, "Once Madam's condition improves, I will go with you to the county government to process the house deed."

"Thank you, Master Chu."

With the deal settled, Tian Tian and Tian Xiang turned to leave.

Madam Chu: "Special treat, meat inside."

Tian Tian and Tian Xiang turned around, wondering what she was saying.

"Tian Xiang, you stay," Master Chu relayed.

Tian Tian glanced at Tian Xiang.

Tian Xiang nodded to her, indicating that she should wait outside.

"Chouqin chuyin, li di cou, wu jiang fu he te min." Madam Chu's pronunciation was inaccurate, and she would occasionally spit out saliva.

Tian Xiang looked at Master Chu...

Master Chu sighed, "She said..."

"Chu Qian, Chu Yao, you can take them with you."

Looking down at Madam Chu, whose eyes were full of regret, Master Chu sighed, "Madam said she couldn't teach them well."

Tian Xiang seemed to have heard something of immense joy; her eyes widened and tears streamed down her face.

"Really?"

Master Chu nodded, "Really."

"Chu Qian and Chu Yao are in the back kitchen. Go ahead."

Tian Xiang knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Master Chu and Madam Chu, "Thank you, Master Chu and Madam Chu."

When Tian Tian heard the noise, she thought something had happened.

She had just arrived at the door when she saw Tian Xiang get up.

"Big sister?" What happened?

Tian Xiang grabbed her hand and ran outside, "Tian Tian, ​​come on, let's go pick up Qian'er and Yao'er."

Should we pick up Qian'er and Yao'er?

Tian Tian didn't know what was happening, so she just followed Tian Xiang.

Tian Xiang went to the kitchen, pushed open the door, and saw several cooks talking.

The dough and meat filling are left there.

Chu Qian sat behind them, holding Chu Yao in his arms.

Even though Chu Qian was still young, he held his younger sister very securely.

"Qian'er!" Tian Xiang rushed in and threw herself at Chu Qian.

She wiped her body with her hands, removing the filth, before tightly embracing Chu Qian.

"Qian'er, Yao'er."

"Mother..." Chu Qian's little face was blank, but he instinctively hugged Tian Xiang back.

"Qian'er, Yao'er." Tian Xiang released Chu Qian and hugged Chu Yao into her arms.

The little girl had no idea what was happening, but when she saw her mother, she was overjoyed and danced with excitement.

"Ya ...

A small hand tugged at Tian Xiang's hair...

"Finally, I can bring you all to my side," Tian Xiang said, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Seeing this, Chu Qian reached out and wiped the corner of her eyes, "Mother, don't cry."

Tian Xiang nodded repeatedly, stood up and took his little hand, "Qian'er, let's go."

"Mom, Grandpa and Grandma..." Chu Qian asked timidly.

He can't leave if his grandparents don't agree to him leaving with his mother.

Tian Xiang lowered her eyes. "Your grandparents have already agreed."

Chu Qian's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Great."

The little hand gripped Tian Xiang's hand tightly.

They walked through the lobby of Chuxing Restaurant, where Master Chu stood on the second floor looking down.

Noticing his gaze, Tian Xiang stopped.

Tian Xiang looked up and said, "Master Chu, although Tian Xiang is no longer a daughter-in-law of the Chu family, Chu Qian and Chu Yao will always be children of the Chu family."

Master Chu nodded. "Go ahead."

Tian Tian pursed her lips; her eldest sister was indeed kind...

*

Lu Tao never expected that Tian Tian and Tian Xiang would not only decide to buy the Chu Xing Restaurant after visiting it, but also bring back their grandson and granddaughter.

She hugged Chu Yao in disbelief, utterly bewildered, "What on earth happened?"

Tian Xiang gave a brief explanation.

Lu Tao suddenly realized, "Xiang'er, you did the right thing."

"Madam Chu has treated you badly, and now look what's happened...sigh."

Tian Tian remained noncommittal. Let her older sister and mother do whatever they want; she would just support their decision.

Liu San Niang was also happy for Tian Xiang, "Since you're so happy today, and there's not much business in the shop, why don't we close the shop early, buy some meat, and cook a good meal to celebrate?"

Her suggestion was immediately supported by Tian Tian.

While it was still early, she wanted to go back quickly... and persuade the Monkey King to find her some more valuable medicinal herbs.
