“Madam Ye, Madam Ye, is it true that if you buy three taels of silver, you get two small stools?” An auntie carrying several large packages squeezed to my cashier, her face full of excitement.
I quickly settled the bill, took out two small stools, and handed them to her with a smile, “Auntie, take care.”
Indeed, 70% of the world’s economy is driven by female comrades…
“This can’t go on,” Ye Suo leaned on the cashier, looking at the chaotic crowd and muttering to himself. I was busy collecting money and gave him a glare, “Young Master Ye, you could help out too.”
“Now, even if you try to please me, it’s useless. I’ve already decided to punish you.” I said
with a grimace, trying to make my expression look as fierce as possible, but he didn’t seem scared at all. His hand became gentler, smoothing my hair, and he softly asked, “Are you tired?”
“Of course! Do you think everyone is like you – good at lightness kung fu, martial arts, and even arithmetic!” I said unconvincingly, but still basking in his tender care.
He turned my body, letting me lean against his chest, my head comfortably resting on his shoulder. His hands began massaging my shoulders, and a chorus of sighs filled the table. “The young master is so good to his wife.”
I raised my eyes, and as expected, Ye Suo’s eyes darkened again. Seeing me look at him, he again showed a doting expression. Suddenly, I felt an unprecedented ache in my heart, more painful than when he stabbed the knife into the cashier’s counter.
“Young master, madam, today’s accounts are calculated. Total is eight hundred taels.” Yan Sha brought over a pile of dazzling silver, and the shop assistants’ eyes went wide.
“So much!” I quickly shook off my fatigue, pushed away the meal in front of me, and took the silver from Yan Sha’s hands. “For families who buy all their dowry from us, we can offer appropriate discounts. After all, the more money we earn, the better.”
“Yes, madam.”
“Now I’ll start distributing bonuses. First day of opening, I absolutely won’t shortchange everyone. Each person gets two taels of silver! This is a reward, not part of the monthly salary.” I began distributing the silver tael by tael.
