Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

"After we finished eating, our son packed two sets for each of his wife and mother. The older women and young wives around us were so envious!"

“Especially since our son is so handsome, all those young wives are green with envy. Daughter-in-law, you'd better treat our Yuanbao well.”

Zhu Chenxi blushed and nodded. The mutton offal soup and sesame flatbread her husband brought back were delicious; they warmed her stomach and her heart.

Sheng Guihua was deeply moved and wished she could witness these scenes with her own eyes.

She smiled like a flower.

"Do you know how much money Yuanbao made from this batch of braised meat?"

Yuan Laifu lowered his voice and said, "Our Yuanbao sold for 6,300 coins."

Sheng Guihua's mouth formed an "O" shape. Although she knew yesterday that it could sell for a lot of money, she was still shocked.

This kind of good news is so wonderful, I never get tired of hearing it!

My precious baby!

That's incredibly amazing!

She looks just like her; Yuanbao'er takes after her mother—smart and capable.

Sheng Guihua felt a surge of joy.

"My nephew Cao said he's going to buy even more tomorrow. He wants twenty catties of pork belly, eighty catties of leg meat, eight pairs of pig ears, and a pig's head. Who knows how much money our Bao'er will make tomorrow? Anyway, a lot, a lot!"

Yuan Laifu is exceptionally adaptable and has already adapted to his role as Uncle Cao, the shopkeeper.

While doing her needlework, Zhu Chenxi listened with a smile as her father-in-law recounted her husband's heroic deeds.

Her husband is really attractive!

Looking at her own face, half of which was covered with red birthmarks, she realized she wasn't good enough for him.

Although her husband said that the medicine he applied yesterday could cure her face, how could that be possible?

That was a birthmark she had since birth.

She loved her husband and was willing to have her face treated according to his wishes.

But she knew that birthmarks could never be cured. If her husband didn't want her anymore, she would leave. She couldn't ruin her husband's happiness.

Her husband probably disliked her because of only one side of her face, otherwise why didn't he touch her last night? She saw that her husband's health had recovered quite well.

May a touch of melancholy grace Zhu Chenxi's captivating eyes.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset; these were the best days of her life, and she wanted to cherish the present.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents again as she confidently did the math, "Father, twenty catties of braised pork belly is two thousand two hundred coins. Eighty catties of leg meat is eight thousand coins. Eight pairs of pig ears are nine hundred and sixty coins. Father, how much is one piece of braised pork?"

"Five hundred coins."

"Then... the total is 11,660 wen, which is eleven taels of silver, or six hundred and sixty wen."

"What?!" Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua jumped up from their benches.

Eleven taels of silver?

This is money, not stones. How can it be so easy to make money?

Zhu Chenxi rubbed the needle tip against her scalp to make the needle smoother, and said while sewing Yuan Sheng's white undergarment, "Father, Mother, I didn't miscalculate, it's eleven taels and six hundred and sixty coins."

"My goodness!" Sheng Guihua and Yuan Laifu's faces beamed with joy.

Their gold ingots are truly a gift from heaven! They're so good at bringing money into their homes!

Yuan Sheng walked up to the three of them and said, "Father, it's a real pity you didn't become a storyteller."

Yuan Laifu glared at Yuan Sheng, "This is nothing! I haven't even used a tenth of my power yet."

Yuan Sheng noticed that Zhu Chenxi touched her face and a trace of sadness welled up in her eyes. He walked to his wife's side, leaned close to her ear, and asked, "What strange things were you thinking about just now?"

Zhu Chenxi blushed; Yuan Sheng's breath was hot, and it went straight to her ear.

She was indeed thinking about some strange things, like... why her husband didn't sleep with her last night.

Yuan Sheng roughly guessed what was going on; he hadn't done anything last night because it was all for her own good.

Zhu Chenxi is only fifteen years old this year. Although people in this era marry early, they usually get married at sixteen.

He himself was only sixteen years old. In this era, there seemed to be no good contraceptive methods. If Chenxi got pregnant and gave birth at such a young age, it would be very harmful to her body.

But she probably doesn't understand his good intentions.

It seems like it would be better to take the whole family to a clinic to see a doctor and let the physician explain things to her personally.

He remembered that in her previous life, Chenxi suffered from a cold constitution, and she would be in excruciating pain during her period every month.

In his previous life, he not only showed no pity, but also complained that she was slow at working, and would often lose his temper and beat her severely.

When she gave birth to her eldest daughter at the age of sixteen, she was in excruciating pain and almost died during childbirth.

Thinking of his past life, Yuan Sheng wished he could slap himself a thousand times.

What a piece of trash he is!

He would take good care of her for the rest of his life. Although he wouldn't wait until she was twenty to have sex, he would wait until she was fully developed and her body was in good condition before they could have sex.

"Dad, Mom, let's take some time to go to the clinic so our whole family can get a checkup."

Yuan Laifu patted his chest and said, "What's there to check? Your old man is as strong as an ox. Take your mother and Chenxi for a checkup."

"Mother is perfectly healthy, there's no need to spend that money."

“My husband, I’m perfectly healthy and don’t need any check-ups.”

In my previous life, my parents passed away. Although he had some annoying reasons, the main reason was that they had health problems. They had been malnourished and overworked for many years, so I must give them a good boost.

"Dad, Mom, Chenxi, we need to change our mindset. Our family is not what it used to be. Dad, Mom, Chenxi, only if you are healthy and live a long life can I earn money with more peace of mind."

"The art of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes treating illness before it occurs, identifying problems early, and taking preventative measures before they arise, so as not to make me worry."

Yuan Sheng grabbed his parents' hands, "Father, Mother, how can you bear to let Bao'er worry?" He even started to whine.

Sheng Guihua's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

In the past, Yuanbao would only act cute with her in order to get money to buy things.

Now, Yuanbao acts coquettishly towards her because he's worried about her and his wife's health.

Her voice choked slightly, "Go, why not go? My son is capable, filial to his mother, and worried about her health. Your father and I will both go, and we'll go happily."

Yuan Laifu was also very excited; God had opened his eyes!

His son! How filial he is!

Yuan Sheng walked up to Zhu Chenxi, took her small hand, and rubbed her palm together.

Zhu Chenxi felt an itch in her palms and heart, her cheeks flushed pink, and she immediately surrendered, "My lord, I'll go too."

She must have been overthinking things. Although half of her face was disfigured, she could feel that her beloved loved her and protected her.

The Yuan family was all smiles, but the atmosphere in Wang Damao's private room at Donglaishun Restaurant was tense.

Finally, Wang Damao discovered a problem: Yuansheng was gone.
