Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“He’s such a bully! Our house is so big, but he came in so easily. Furthermore, this child is so vicious. He wants to smash my nephew, who is not even a month old! He’s too bad. He’s so small.”

“I’ll settle scores with them!” Guan Chixi got up and wanted to settle scores with the Tian family.

?

Guan Chibei stopped him and asked him not to complicate matters anymore. Today, Mother Rong had beaten up Auntie Tian and this matter could be considered to have been resolved in front of the villagers.

If Guan Chixi went to settle the scores again, it would mean their Guan family was not willing to let go.

Then this matter would not be over.

Eldest Brother Guan frowned. “This matter can be big or small. If anyone wants to do something, it would be easy for them to enter our house. Our house can’t be left empty anymore. Sixth sister-in-law really needs someone to guard her at home. Otherwise, it would be bad if something happened. Moreover, our house is indeed too…”

The Guan family and the rest looked troubled. Every family in the village had left their houses open, and no one had done anything wrong previously!

It was all Tian family’s fault!

She was too vicious.

“Are my nephews alright?” Guan Chixi was the most indignant and concerned about the three babies.

Mother Rong said, “They’re fine, thankfully.”

As it was not convenient to visit Ye Lulu since she was going through confinement, Guan Chixi and the rest had only seen her once when the babies were born.

“Let’s eat first. It’s good that you’re fine.”

…

After the meal, Ye Lulu called Guan Chibei into the house. She felt that it was time to talk about business.

The Guan family’s daily expenditure was not little and they could not save up any assets. Not to mention that they were poor, but from the looks of it, building a wall for the Guan family’s courtyard was an urgent matter. Furthermore, it was almost winter, and many things required money.

Ye Lulu had almost considered everything. When she saw Guan Chibei enter the house, she asked him, “I want our family to do a small business together. What do you think?”

“What business?” Guan Chibei had long expected this. He had already guessed it when she asked him previously.

“Let’s start a food business.” In farming novels, it was not unreasonable for the protagonist to transmigrate a farmer’s house and start a food business. The profits from embroidered pouches were small, and the earnings cycle was slow. However, costs of other businesses were huge. Only the costs of starting a food business were low and the rate of recouping was fast. It was also suitable for their current situation. “Let’s set up a stall at the docks in the city. Do you think Father and Mother will agree?”

What Ye Lulu was thinking was that Eldest Brother Guan and the rest might as well not do manual labor anymore. It would be a waste of their strength. The whole family could work together to sell some food and earn money.

Hence, she wanted to ask Guan Chibei’s opinion and get the Guan family’s approval.

“What food to sell? There are many people at the docks, but there are also many stalls. The sellers are familiar with buyers, and the situation at the stalls is more or less fixed. If we sell some steamed buns or the like, I don’t think anyone will buy them.”

Guan Chibei understood things.

“What do you want to sell?” Guan Chibei looked up at Ye Lulu. He guessed that this soul would not sell some dry rations or buns.

“Let’s sell porridge. How about it?” Ye Lulu looked back at him. She had long considered this in her heart. “There are many stalls selling steamed buns. Dried rations are hard to swallow. The weather is getting colder. Let’s sell some porridge.”

“There are also many stalls selling porridge. It’s not that there aren’t any,” Guan Chibei said.

“We can sell other types of porridge,” Ye Lulu said. “I’ve already thought about it. In my hometown, there are some porridges with special flavors that are different from the others. It’s easy to cook and the porridge becomes stickier as it gets boiled for a longer period of time. We can cook it anytime throughout the day. It’s also very delicious to eat with steamed buns and cakes. Drink a bowl of it on a cold autumn day and you will feel warm. The people at the docks can eat it, and the crew on the ships can come down and buy it. You can even buy an entire pot of it. I think this is doable, don’t you think?”
