Remarrying Chun Yuan

On New Year's Eve, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Early in the morning, Liu Yuechu took Song Liu'er, Yao Wei, and Liu Muchi out to wait for the shopkeepers and employees of his shops to come and offer New Year's greetings.

Then they congratulated each other and gave each other red envelopes as New Year's gifts. This process alone took a whole day.

Song Liu'er rubbed his aching back. "I only realized today that you, Master, invest in a few small shops every now and then. They may seem insignificant, but you've actually got your hands on half of the capital." Who gets tired of visiting relatives and friends during the New Year? This is the first time I've ever encountered such a situation.

Liu Yuechu glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're a small business, and we're afraid of losing money, so each of us only has a small share. If one out of ten businesses is doing well, we won't lose money, and if two of them are profitable, we'll make a profit."

Song Liu'er: "..." But if five out of your ten shops are thriving, three are making a small profit, and the other two are breaking even, people will only believe you if you pretend to be poor.

"Master is right. Our small business is tough and difficult, and we earn all our money through hard work." Yao Wei stroked the heavy dividend silver, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.

Liu Muchi watched his sister silently from the side, his face full of admiration.

These past few days, he's been busy working alongside the two stewards, and he finally understands why his father entrusted the entire Liu family to his sister after he left.

She's a woman who makes money quietly and has a keen eye for business. Even if a shop is on the verge of closing down, as long as her second sister takes a liking to it and gives her some advice, it will quickly turn a profit and the business will be booming.

In his heart, his second sister was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Wealth.

He will definitely follow along and learn diligently...

Liu Yuechu was unaware of her brother's thoughts, and she felt a headache coming on as she looked at the notes sent from the restaurants and teahouses.

A while ago, Liu Musheng got to know several young masters from various mansions at the Princess's residence, and they spent their days eating, drinking, and having fun together. They would eat and drink, then become sworn brothers, and if Liu Musheng was praised as the son of a painting master, the eldest brother would readily pay the bill.

She wasn't short of money, but she couldn't bear to see Liu Musheng treated like a great victim.

She had just asked the teahouse owner which young gentlemen she had been eating and drinking with, and the owner immediately mentioned Pei Chun.

If it were anyone else, Liu Yuechu wouldn't care. But with Pei Chun involved, it was clear he was deliberately setting her up.

It was already New Year's Eve, so she naturally wouldn't cause trouble at this time and quickly settled the bills at the teahouse and restaurant. But if this trend wasn't curbed, Liu Musheng would only escalate his behavior further.

Just as she was pondering this, Liu Mufang suddenly rushed over. "The sun has already set. Is my cousin still busy? Her family is worried about her working so hard, so they specially asked me to come and pick her up to go home for the New Year."

Liu Yuechu's life was thriving, while the business was in dire straits. They only sold one item in a month, and it was just a small fan. Even the most stubborn Liu Chen and Liu Shang knew that if they didn't back down, they really wouldn't have anything to eat.

It's not really a case of admitting defeat.

I just wanted to take advantage of the New Year to discuss the terms with Liu Yuechu again.

They had tried to contact Liu Musheng, but he was extremely irresponsible. He was busy eating, drinking, and having fun with the young masters, and had no time to compete with Liu Yuechu for the position of housekeeper.

Moreover, Liu Musheng was perfectly justified. His sister earned money for him to spend, and he didn't have to do anything. What was wrong with such a carefree life? He was just being nosy.

The two uncles had no choice but to persuade the old lady again, promising to say a few words of support for them during the New Year.

That's why Liu Mufang specially came to pick her up for the New Year; it was clearly a case of a weasel paying respects to a chicken...

Liu Yuechu understood, but she was helpless. She couldn't possibly not go home on New Year's Eve.

After finalizing with Song Liu'er and the others that they would reopen after the fifteenth of the first lunar month and take a proper rest during the New Year, she took Liu Muchi and Liu Mufang home to see the old fox.

On her way home, she remembered the braised pork knuckle she loved most in her past life. She told the driver to take a detour to buy it.

While waiting, I saw Wei Gongming escorting three small trucks, walking carefully and slowly down the street.

The truck was loaded with gifts, and every now and then it encountered bumpy roads. Fearing that the gift boxes might fall and break, he would quickly run over to help them up.

Life has worn him down, stripping him of his former dashing and unrestrained spirit. His once straight back is now slightly bent, and the weathered look of his age makes him appear five or six years older than his peers.

Liu Mufang noticed her staring at Wei Gongming and said, "Their family is having a terrible time!"

"The life of a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of War is miserable? That's quite arrogant of you." Liu Yuechu disliked Wei Gongming, and she didn't think much of her cousin either.

“I’m not being arrogant, their family is really in dire straits.” Liu Mufang immediately told what he knew, “The money they made from selling grain at high prices during the snow disaster wasn’t even enough to pay off their debts. A few days ago, they sold off most of the servants who had signed life contracts during the snow disaster, and quite a few young girls were sold to brothels.”

"Little girl?"

"Yes, it's a little girl, around ten years old."

Liu Yuechu stared at him with resentment, and Liu Mufang's heart skipped a beat. He waved his hands like a rattle drum, "I didn't go. I only heard about it. How could I do such a beastly thing?" He didn't have the money to go anyway; the prices there were too high.

"The next work."

"Shameless!"

"nausea!"

Liu Yuechu cursed several times in a row.

"Yes, he's despicable, shameless, and disgusting. He even went to my father, saying he fell in love with you, my cousin, at first sight, and hoped my father could speak up for him. But my father said that although you are wary of him, you are his own niece, our cousin, and we absolutely cannot let you marry into the Marquis's mansion and suffer..." Liu Mufang immediately launched into a sweet-talking scheme.

Liu Yuechu ignored his rambling and was only annoyed that she hadn't noticed how bad Wei Gongming's character was in her past life. What was wrong with her to fall in love with such a person at first sight?

Wei Gongming also saw Liu Yuechu's carriage at this moment.

Then look at that braised pork knuckle, it used to be her favorite food, and she never got tired of eating it.

However, in his past life, he bought her braised pork hock, but in this life, she brought people herself.

Wei Gongming sighed inwardly, wondering whether he should go and say hello. He had originally planned to go to the residence of the Vice Minister of War to deliver a gift.

He wanted a lucrative job so he wouldn't have to run around like a dog anymore. He also wanted to find a way to curry favor with the Third Prince, the future emperor, whom he would fawn over even if it meant kneeling down like a dog.

Before he could make a decision, he saw Li Chengyue leading a group of servants to greet him menacingly.

Wei Gongming: "Brother Li..."

"Bang!" Li Chengyue stepped forward and punched Wei Gongming!

"Wei Gongming, what exactly did you do to my sister? She actually wants to marry you without even tasting her food!"

"Did you lie to her...? You better explain yourself, or I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

"Bang!" Another punch swung out!
