Chapter 303 A business proposal.

Chapter 303 A business proposal.　　Naturally, no one in the Zhu family said a word. Seeing their mouth zipped closed, Lang sneered, it was alright, truth can't be hidden for long once her son was alright, she will pay a 'good visit' to her in-laws later on! But now her son was first, she strode out of the Zhu family while Zhu Qian followed after her with an overly anxious face. Only Lang Ru stayed behind and when the Zhu family looked at her, she pursed her lips and spat on the floor of the Zhu family's new floor. " Shameless!"

After scolding she too rushed after her parents and didn't once look back. 

" Hurry, get on, what were you doing?" Zhu Qian who was standing outside the carriage immediately urge Lang Ru to get in the carriage, he knew that his daughter was upset and must have stayed behind to scold his greedy family, so he didn't bother calling her. However, now that she was out of the house, Zhu Qian instantly picked his daughter up in his arms and took her inside the carriage with him. 

Lang saw that her family has all gotten inside the carriage and anxiously whipped the mule, hoping that the mule had enough energy to make this carriage fly on the road. Because she really needed to get to Yu Dong as fast as possible, in the given situation of their family only Yu Dong can help them.

" Achoo!" Yu Dong, who was discussing her business ideas with Chu Chang sneezed, a bit annoyed at her untimely sneeze —— honestly who was remembering her now? Her conversation with Chu Chang was slowly turning interesting and yet she was interrupted by this sneeze. " Ah, I am sorry, what were you saying?"

Chu Chang stared at her red nose and blinked his eyes naively. "You sure, you are okay? You look like you are coming down with flu?"

Yu Dong waved her hand carelessly as she shrugged off Chu Chang's unnecessary concern. " I am fine, something must have gotten in my nose,  I am completely fit and fine. It has been months since the last time I got sick." Which was the truth, with her body developed as a spiritual energy user, the last time Yu Dong fell sick was when she awakened her powers after that her body only failed her when she was dying.

" I see," said Chu Chang as he sipped on the tea that he was holding in his hands, he didn't know why but compared to the tea at his house, this tea brewed by Shen Li was really good. Was this a matter of skills? Because as far as he knew the teas his sisters gifted him were from the capital, no one in the Dong Tong town would have that tea and the Yu family didn't look like some tea lovers either —— so how can this common tea taste so good? 

The flavours were simply bursting in his mouth. However, Chu Chang naturally had more important topics that he wanted to talk about with Yu Dong, so he suppressed his curiosity about the flavourful tea. " I was saying that my sister has a friend in the capital and she really loves sweet fruits, and she is not the only one. There are many others as well, if you give me the right to trade these berries at the capital, I promise I will be able to sell one wicker box of strawberries for ten taels, what do you say?"

Behind him, a loud clang reverberated in the house as Chen Mi who came to get milk for little bun dropped the bowl that he has just washed. " Ten…Ten taels for a box? A box only has ten strawberries or so right?"

He turned to Yu Dong who nodded her head, the wicker boxes were something that she asked Chen Mi to ask his mother to make since her mother in law was still ignoring her. However, the boxes were an exact replica of the sketch she gave to her mother in law, they were tiny and adorable with a label that read —— ' Little bun farm.'

The capacity of these boxes was ten strawberries max going by this it could be said that Chu Chang was actually talking about selling a single strawberry for a tael which was at least five hundred cents higher than the ones sold in the market. The strawberries were exotic fruit and were hard to grow since many didn't have the correct idea about how to grow them.

And if some farmers managed to grow the strawberries, the taste was lacking when compared to the strawberries grown on Yu Dong's farm.

"Are you sure you can do it?" asked Yu Dong even though she wasn't confident about selling a box of strawberries for ten taels. She was going to go for five taels which was a lot more reasonable price.

Chu Chang confidently nodded as he carefully explained, " As you can see the quality of strawberries sold in the market of the capital is not as good as yours, and since you have reassured me that the quality of the strawberries won't turn bad while they are being taken to the capital that alone means that there will be a lot of special steps included in it, right?"

Not exactly, she could always instil a little spiritual energy in the strawberries stopping them from going bad. But that was something Chu Chang didn't need to know, so she nodded and said, " That's right, it will be a tough process."

Chu Chang didn't notice that Yu Dong was in her sly businesswoman mode, he was impressed by the hard work she was willing to put into the business. " Exactly, you are working hard, so naturally—— you should be able to receive a good remuneration for it in exchange, my plan is actually very simple, we will send ten boxes to those who like eating sweet fruits for free at first, once they are hooked by the taste, they will definitely come looking for more at that time I can sell these boxes to them for ten taels each, You don't have to worry about anything, if I fail, I will pay you back for the ten boxes that you have will give to me.

Yu Dong leaned back in her chair as she carefully thought about Chu Chang's suggestion. Honestly, the suggestion itself wasn't bad but —- " What do you want in exchange?"

Chu Chang smiled ruefully as he touched his belly. " I am divorced as you have heard already, currently I am dependent on my sisters but the three of them are already married, even though my brothers in law don't have any opinion about my sisters supporting me yet, that doesn't mean they won't have any in the future either—— I want to stand on my feet as soon as I can to avoid causing troubles to my sisters, so how about twenty per cent? I only want twenty per cent as of now, if I do good in future you can increase my salary in the future."

Surprise flickered in Yu Dong's eyes as she looked at Chu Chang—— no wonder Mu Yuxi was so successful in her business, she had such a smart husband behind her.
