Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2061: Chapter 2058: Recommendation

Chu Heng’s eyes deepened as he held her and kissed her several times, preventing any misfire.

“Good girl.” Chu Heng helplessly rubbed her head.

Ye Muyu’s eyes were moist, looking somewhat pitiful, but in fact, her ears were red from shyness.

“Hmm, it seems I haven’t disrupted your plans. If there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me. Oh, buying the shop must require quite a bit of money, I’ll make up for it later.” Ye Muyu quickly changed the subject.

When Chu Heng heard her offer money, he raised his eyebrows: “No need to give it to me, the caravan has earned quite a lot.”

“No, you’re already exhausted from your official duties, and I can only make money. I can’t help you in the official circle, so my only way is to support you financially. Don’t you want to accept my kindness?” Ye Muyu blinked, leaning closer to him, with furrowed Liuye brows and a pretend-disappointed look.

Making Chu Heng somewhat helpless, but his chest felt full and warm.

“Alright, if I need silver, I’ll definitely ask my dear wife for it.”

Seeing Chu Heng accept, Ye Muyu was delighted, and after picking several more dishes for him, finally buried her head in eating.

When Chu Heng saw her happiness, his mood brightened too, letting Ye Muyu boldly go ahead and open the shop without worrying. As long as the shop is bought according to the market rules, even if new regulations are introduced, they wouldn’t affect their family.

With this news, Ye Muyu became more confident in her actions.

After the plasterers finished the work on the bathhouse, Ye Muyu immediately asked Lu Chuan to settle the wages for these people.

These plasterers were quite famous in the capital, but there were also a few strong men recommended by those who previously worked for Ye Muyu.

The capital was never short of manpower and jobs, but skilled craftsmen were still few. Generally, they would have bookings lined up even before finishing a current task.

Receiving their monthly allowance, these workers were very happy.

Ye Muyu seized the opportunity and asked: “Who among you hasn’t fixed your next job yet? Our household has some more shops needing repairs. You’ve worked diligently this time, and those willing to stay on can write their names down with Steward Lu. Meet tomorrow during the Chenshi period at the corner of South City Street.”

“Second Manager, is the payment still the same? For how long?”

Many below were interested, even though working during the summer was exhausting. In less than one or two months, it would be time for farming. However, the Chu family paid well, a day here earned one or two copper coins more than elsewhere, amounting to thirty to sixty coins more per month. Now that cloth prices had dropped, one could buy an extra foot of cloth.

“Of course, but there’ll likely be more work ahead. It’s estimated to take two months to complete. This time, we’re recruiting a hundred for the rough work and over ten carpenters.” Ye Muyu announced the hiring.

Many responded.

“That’s great, I want to join.”

“I’ll work too, the master here is generous and the wages aren’t withheld.”

“Second Manager, my family has a brother, also strong, can he join?” Some even from the bathhouse stepped forward, seeing the job vacancy still spacious and keen to recommend themselves. If other family members joined, it meant double the wages. After all, such good jobs were scarce even in the capital.

Ye Muyu already had this idea: “Naturally, but they must have good character. Those who slack off will be sent back immediately, and the referrer’s wages will be deducted equally.”
