Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 287 The Sickly Little Business Woman 4

"Uncle, we are back."

Village chief Sun, who was smoking leaf tobacco, heard Yun Chu's clear voice from afar, and quickly put out the cigarette and patted his clothes.

After Yun Chu entered the house, Village Chief Sun squatted down and followed Yun Chu who ran in. "Chchu seems to have grown taller again."

Sun Meng smiled and said, "Yes, it has grown a little."

Han Jing bowed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Village Chief Sun nodded.

Village Chief Sun is the eldest. Their parents have passed away, so when the two younger sisters return to their parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, they come to his place.

As for Village Chief Sun’s wife, Lin, she goes back home on the third day of the Lunar New Year every year.

After a while, Sun Xiang and Wang Lu also came back.

Sun Xiang is the fourth child, three years older than Sun Meng, and they have a good relationship.

Sun Xiang married into Wangjia Village. Her husband was called Wang Lu and they had a son and a daughter.

His son Wang Xiang has married and has children, and his daughter is also married.

The son accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home.

As for my daughter, she will return to her parents' home tomorrow.

"Chu Chu, you're getting prettier." Sun Xiang praised, "I guess you must have put a lot of effort into raising you."

"How can I not worry about it? It's just such a treasure." Sun Meng said.

Sun Xiang said, "Chuchu is so pretty, I'm afraid many people will miss her in the future."

"You are already in your early forties, and Chuchu is only five years old. By the time Chuchu grows up, you will be in your early fifties."

"I think you two should choose a good husband for Chu Chu as soon as possible and cultivate her from a young age, so that her relationship will be good."

"My husband wants to marry me." Sun Meng said.

Han Jing was worried about marrying his daughter off, for he was afraid that she would be wronged in her husband's family.

"It may be difficult to find a son-in-law." Sun Xiang said.

"It's okay, just take your time looking for it." Sun Meng said.

Yun Chu, who was chatting with his uncle, received a new task.

[Special mission: Marry a son-in-law, mission reward: points, mission failure, points will be deducted. ]

Yun Chu: “…”

[Why so much deduction?]

Although she knew that points would be deducted if the mission failed, wouldn't it be an equal amount of points deducted?

The first mission failed, and the system said there was protection for novices, so points would be exempted from deduction for the first time.

The second mission failed, but because she purchased point protection, no points were deducted.

But now, the system does not allow rush purchases for the points protection card, so she has no protection. If this fails, most of the points she has worked so hard to earn will be deducted!

[It's a special mission, so if you fail, the deduction is a bit high. 】

Yun Chu clenched his fists, determined to complete this task.

After having lunch at his uncle’s house, Yun Chu and his family went home.

When spring came, Yun Chu slept alone again.

In addition, Yun Chu would stroll around the streets every day to see if there was anyone suitable to be a son-in-law.

In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and Yun Chu's family has settled in Taikang Prefecture for a year and a half.

The reason why I moved to the capital was because of Yun Chu.

Three years ago, Yun Chu calculated that the price of raw silk would go up, so he asked his family to stock up on raw silk. This raw silk made the family earn more than 1,500 taels of silver.

After making money, Yun Chu proposed to go to Taikang Prefecture.

Han Jing and Sun Meng thought it would be a good idea to go to Taikang Prefecture. Their daughter was smart and clever, and when she arrived in the prefecture, they could hire a female teacher to teach her.

Moreover, the doctors in the city may have better medical skills and may be able to heal my daughter's health.

So they immediately made a decision and went to Taikang Prefecture.

It took them half a year to move to Taikang Prefecture.

Taikang Prefecture spent eight hundred taels to buy a small courtyard with three entrances, and another four hundred taels to buy a shop.

This time, the store and the place where I live are not connected.

After buying the house and the shop, the family’s remaining savings were only over three hundred taels.

It seems like a lot, but it is not enough to live in this capital city.

The house in Qingshui Town was not sold so that they could live there when they returned to the village to worship their ancestors and visit relatives.

The shop is rented out and I can collect some rent every month.

The grocery store business is pretty good and we can still make a decent living.

After settling down, Han Jing made some inquiries and hired a female teacher for Yun Chu, from whom Yun Chu learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yun Chu was very talented and within a year, he had learned all the skills of the female teacher.

Because she felt there was nothing left to teach, the female teacher stopped visiting the children.

If Yun Chu has any questions, she can go to her house to ask her for answers.

The day after tomorrow is Mr. Dong’s birthday. Yun Chu plans to buy some expensive rice paper and write something as a gift to Mr. Dong.

After buying some rice paper and coming out of the bookstore, I saw Guan Yazi leading a group of people.

Yun Chu took a quick look and his eyes lit up when he saw one of them.

This person has a good destiny and good luck, and judging from his face, he has the appearance of a literary star.

Yun Chu took the rice paper and followed Guan Yazi's team. Quarters of an hour later, Guan Yazi brought the people back to the Guan Ya Office.

"Miss, are you looking to buy someone?" Guan Ya did not ignore Yun Chu just because she was alone.

"Will you sell the person you just brought back?"

"For sale, but these people have not been trained yet. If I buy them back and offend the young lady, it will be bad."

"nothing."

Yun Chu doesn't care.

It is just right for me to teach the husband I bought back.

"Can I ask what these people have done wrong?"

“Relatives of officials involved in corruption cases.”

It turns out he is a son of an official. No wonder he looks so unusual.

"Miss, if you like that one, I will bring it out for you."

Yun Chu pointed at the best-looking one and said, "Him."

Guan Yazi brought the little boy out and said, "Miss, you have good taste."

“Don’t know how to sell it?”

"This young man is the grandson of Shen Tongzhi, the sixth child, named Shen Yan, ten years old this year, and can read and write." Guan Yazi said, "If the young lady wants it, you can just give her thirty taels."

"Miss, this price is higher than the average price, mainly because this young man is good-looking and can read and write. Such a child is very popular in Fengyue Hall."

Fengyueguan is equivalent to the modern "cowboy shop".

There are all beautiful young men inside.

Most of the people who go to brothels are men.

In this era, the trend of gay relationships is quite popular.

"I bought it." Yun Chu looked at Shen Yan and said, "Are there any relatives among these people?"

Shen Yan glanced at Yun Chu and shook his head, "No."

The Shen family did not commit corruption, but was implicated.

It's because the salt transport commissioner and the prefect were corrupt.

All the adults in the Shen family were exiled, and those under the age of twelve were all sold into government service.

Moreover, they were sold to different government offices and sent to various places.

Yun Chu bought Shen Yan and then took Shen Yan to the store.

"Shen Yan, this is our family's grocery store." Yun Chu took Shen Yan to identify the place.

Han Jing looked at the people around his daughter and asked, "Chu Chu, who is this?"

"Dad, I bought my husband." Yun Chu said shockingly, frightening Han Jing.

Shen Yan was also a little surprised. She thought Yun Chu bought him to be a servant.

I never thought that he would be my husband.

"What?!" Han Jing said with eyes wide open.

"I bought a husband." Yun Chu said again, "Dad wanted to find a son-in-law for me, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Fortunately, I met a suitable one today."

"This is Shen Yan. He was the grandson of the prefect of Lu'an Prefecture. He was implicated in a corruption case. His family was exiled, and he was sold into the government garrison."

"He is ten years old, can read and write, and looks good." Yun Chu smiled and said, "He is just right for me."

Han Jing: “…”

"Dad, am I suitable to be a son-in-law?" Yun Chu said, holding Shen Yan's hand and standing together.

Shen Yan was being led by Yun Chu, and his ears were slightly red.

It was the first time for him to hold hands with a girl.
