Chapter 47 The Chu Family Comes to the Door

Madam Chu's lips trembled slightly. "Chu Qian and Chu Yao are still in the Chu family."

Tian Xiang lowered her head, tears falling in a steady stream...

Her child was her Achilles' heel as a mother.

Madam Chu raised her chin triumphantly, squinted at him, and looked down with disdain.

Then, she looked at Tian Tian triumphantly and said, "Second Miss Tian, ​​aren't we family?"

Tian Tian glanced at Tian Xiang, who was shedding tears, and sighed inwardly.

Looking at Madam Chu's smug expression, I wish I could punch her to vent my anger.

"Madam Chu, don't even think about using Chu Qian and Chu Yao as leverage against us."

"In the end, Chu Qian and Chu Yao share the surname Chu with Chu Xing, and they are your Chu family's grandchildren."

"Since my eldest sister has been divorced by your Chu family, these two children... have nothing to do with our family anymore."

“My eldest sister is only nineteen after the New Year. She wants to have a child so she can remarry.”

"In the future, let alone two, it's possible that we could have ten or eight more."

Tian Xiang was heartbroken. Besides missing her child, she also felt guilty because it was because of the child that the Chu family had blackmailed her mother and second sister like this...

Upon hearing Tian Tian's words, she looked at Tian Tian in surprise, forgetting all her tears.

Having ten or eight kids? Tian Tian, ​​do you think your older sister is a pig?

"I bet after my older sister was divorced, you two must have been saying bad things about her to the two kids, like how bad your mother was, how she didn't want you anymore..."

“When the children grow up, they might not only miss my older sister, but they might even resent her.”

"A child like this... is definitely not as caring as a child born from another family."

Tian Tian turned to Tian Xiang and gently patted the back of her hand, "Big sister, listen to me, stop thinking about those two children. The children raised by the Chu family... humph."

Tian Xiang was stunned. She saw Tian Tian wink at her, not knowing what Tian Tian meant, but she nodded firmly, "Yes, I'll listen to you, big sister."

Madam Chu froze, then slammed her hand on the table. "Tian Xiang, you! You don't even want the child anymore?!"

"You! You are their own mother!"

Tian Xiang took a deep breath, and felt like she was about to shed tears again.

Tian Tian exclaimed loudly, "Mrs. Chu, you are the child's biological grandmother!"

“My eldest sister is very relieved that the two children are staying with the Chu family.”

Madam Chu tossed her head angrily, "Tian Xiang, is this also your idea?"

Tian Xiang looked up and nodded pitifully.

She now has only one thought: listen to her second sister, listen to her second sister...

Listen to your second sister and you'll get meat!

Chu Wang angrily said, "Tian Xiang! You can supply goods to anyone, so why not Chu Xing Restaurant?"

Since Fu Lai Restaurant started using this bean curd skin ingredient, it has expanded from meat rolls to include shrimp rolls, fish rolls, and vegetarian rolls.

After all this time, business has not only not declined, but has actually gotten better and better.

Some wealthy families in the county often hire chefs to prepare banquets, and recently they have all been hiring chefs from Fulai Restaurant.

Chu Xing Restaurant's business has declined significantly compared to before.

Before, I could at least earn a dozen or so taels of silver a day, but now it's good if I can earn three or five taels a day.

If this continues, Chu Xing Restaurant will have to close down.

Tian Tian shrugged, "Because we don't want to!"

Chu Wang took a deep breath, "I...we'll add more silver. We'll add whatever amount you supply to Fulai Restaurant, ten more coins!"

Liu San Niang stood outside the courtyard and silently spat on the ground.

Don't even mention adding ten coins, you could add a hundred coins.

We don't supply our goods to the Chu family either!

Tian Tian's attitude was the same as Liu San Niang's outside.

She knew the Chu family's nature all too well; once they backed down, they would continue to use Chu Qian and Chu Yao to manipulate them.

If they sell steamed buns or do other businesses in the future, won't they be doing all the work for the Chu family?

Tian Tian glanced at Tian Xiang, but she hadn't told her older sister about this idea beforehand, hoping her sister wouldn't hold a grudge against her.

"Tian Xiang! You'll regret this!" Chu Wang said bitterly.

Tian Xiang looked up in astonishment, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Tian Tian stood up, put her arm around Tian Xiang, and said to Chu Wang, "Chu Wang! Don't spout nonsense in my house. This isn't your Chu family home!"

Madam Chu's bottom ached from sitting so long, and since she hadn't achieved her goal, she couldn't sit still any longer.

"Let's go, Chu Wang, let's go!"

Chu Wang followed Madam Chu away, giving her one last angry glare before leaving!

Liu San Niang opened the courtyard gate for them and asked awkwardly, "Are you leaving already?"

As soon as the Chu family left, Tian Xiang burst into tears.

Lu Tao comforted her...

"Tian Tian... I hope Chu Qian and Chu Yao are alright." She asked Tian Tian.

Tian Tian came to them, and thankfully, Lu Tao did not blame her.

"Don't worry," Tian Tian sighed.

"Mother, eldest sister, if we agree to the Chu family's demands, they will only use Chu Qian and Chu Yao to manipulate us again and again."

"We must never yield to them!"

Tian Xiang sniffled, "Yeah, I know, I know..."

I know it, but I still can't help feeling sad.

"Mother, eldest sister, Aunt Liu... I had good news to tell you..."

Tian Xiang wiped away her tears. "Sweetie, tell me, what good news is there?"

Tian Tian took out a purchase order, "I signed another supply contract today, for 1,000 jin."

Putting down the supply contract, Tian Tian continued, "I also bought four women to help us make bean curd sheets."

"There's no room left to build a stove in our yard, so..."

"I bought a shop in the county, and I plan to build a stove inside..."

"A shop?" Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, and Tian Xiang were all surprised. "You bought a shop?"

Tian Tian nodded, "Yes, the young master of Fulai Restaurant lent me 150 taels, and I've already bought it."

"After that, the women we bought made bean curd sheets in the shop and lived in the rooms in the backyard..."

"We'll convert the shop into a steamed bun shop after the New Year."

"Sweetie, isn't it... a bit too early to buy?" Lu Tao glanced at Liu San Niang. Now, the money spent on buying and selling was shared between the two families.

Tian Tian didn't tell Liu San Niang about buying the shop.

"You didn't mention this to us either."

Tian Tian told the truth, "Mom, Aunt Liu, to be honest, this was a decision I made on the spur of the moment."

"Manager Tian, ​​who was talking to me about business today, said that many merchants from Xiushui County and Songxi County will be coming to place orders, so we should prepare in advance."

“I was thinking... there’s no room to build a stove in either of our yards.”

“If we expand outwards, the villagers will definitely have objections, and we won’t have peace and quiet in the future.”

"It would be better to buy the shop in advance."

"Anyway... the stove we built and the woman we bought... we can use them to sell steamed buns next year."

“The key is!” Tian Tian raised her eyebrows triumphantly, “The young master of Fulai Restaurant is willing to lend us money, and without interest or time limit. We can pay it back when we have the money.”

"Such a great opportunity, of course we have to seize it!"

Tian Xiang wiped her nose, sniffled, and looked somewhat embarrassed and funny. "I, I support Tian Tian."

Liu San Niang also supported it.

Tian Jinghe hugged Tian Tian tightly, actively expressing his support!
