Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife - Chapter 896

Chapter 896: The Wine Is Not Afraid of the Deep Alley

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since the Yu family’s cosmetics shop started selling lipstick, the sales volume of the Yu family’s cosmetics shop began to decrease. At the end of the year, there was a slight increase.

She saw this little change and felt relieved.

The Yu family was wealthy and confident, so they did not properly research lip balms.

As the saying goes, quality goods need no advertising.

Now, her cosmetics shop was filled with quality goods.

After looking through the account book, Tang Dongfeng returned.

Ye Muyu returned the account book to him. This year, she had earned more than 500 taels from the cosmetics shop alone. This income was not much, but it was enough for her to slowly develop other businesses.

“Mother, what do you think?” Ye Muyu walked to Madam Liu’s side and asked.

Madam Liu was speechless. “Those boxes are really exquisite. Oh my god. No wonder it’s so expensive to buy rouge and cosmetic powder.”

“Mother, the thing used on the face needs to be more exquisite. Otherwise, if you just wrap it in an oilcloth, the customers will suspect that there’s something wrong with the cream,” Ye Muyu explained patiently.

Madam Liu nodded. “You’re right. It’s you youngsters who have the opinion. Although I can’t bear to buy it, I do want it.”

“Mother, have you finished the set I gave you last time?”

“If it’s not enough, I’ll give it to you again.”

“No, no.” Madam Liu waved her hand. “I used a lot during the winter, but there’s still half left. But to be honest, it’s really useful. This winter, my face didn’t even crack or peel.”

“No wonder those who have some spare money in the county want to buy it.”

Chu Zhiwen also touched his face and asked, “Ah Yu, it seems that I can also use it.”

“Father, these are for women, but they are very gentle. You can also use them, but the effect may be average.” Ye Muyu rubbed her chin. “Father, wait a little longer. I’ll research some men’s cream for you.”

“No need, no need. I’m just saying.” Chu Zhiwen quickly waved his hand.

Madam Liu slapped his hand and smiled at Ye Muyu. “Don’t worry about your father. He has nothing better to do now. He even has the time to snatch my cream.”

“My ears hurt from the cold last time, that’s why I wanted to use it.” Chu Zhiwen’s face was dark red. If it were not for the fact that his skin was dark due to years of hard work, his flushed face would be easily noticed.

“Father, are you suffering from frostbite?” Ye Muyu looked at his red ears.

“A little, but it’s much better this year than in previous years. In previous years, there were even ice holes on my feet. It’s so torturous.” Chu Zhiwen knocked on the pipe and said.

Ye Muyu was a little worried about Chu Heng.

From Nanchang County to the north, it would be more comfortable to take the waterway. There would be a brazier on the boat, but the further north they went, the colder it would be, even after the new year, or at least before spring.

He was not used to it in the past, so it was inevitable that he would get frostbite.

“Father, I’ll go and ask Doctor Lu if he can make some medicine for chilblains. At least it’ll be more comfortable in winter.” Ye Muyu did as she said and did not waste any time.

Chu Liushi and Chu Zhiwen brought the two children to continue shopping at other shops.

She took Han Zhuang and Su Mei to Lu Sangqi.

Lu Sangqi lived in the second-class residence of Chu Heng’s caravan in the county.

There was a house in the backyard. Usually, the people in the caravan would look for him if they had any illness.

When Ye Muyu came in, a group of burly men were sitting in a room in the backyard, warming themselves by the fire.

“Madam?” Huo Yun, the captain of the caravan, walked out of the house. He was six feet tall and strong, as if he could break Ye Muyu with one hand.
