The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 203 left me a treasure.
Madam Mu smiled and said, "It's not that I'm interested, but after thinking about it, I still feel that I should do some business. If I do business well, I can make money quickly, which is better than working for others."

Yun Wei nodded, "Sister-in-law is right. So, have you thought about what kind of business you want to do?"

Madam Mu blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "Our whole family doesn't have more than two taels of silver on us, so I was thinking of following your example and opening a food stall." She quickly added, "In our Yue Kingdom, there's a kind of sandwich that's quite delicious. We haven't seen anyone selling it along the way, so I thought my two daughters-in-law and I could set up a stall and sell Yue Kingdom sandwiches."

Yunwei had spent some time in the Moon Kingdom, so she naturally knew what the sandwich she was talking about was like.

It's just a flatbread with a slit cut in it, then stuffed with vegetables and meat.

She tried it, and it did taste quite good.

“But sister-in-law, this is really hard work, and you don’t earn much money. If you want to do business, I have some money here. You can open a shop.”

Madam Mu shook her head. "You've already helped us enough. We can't trouble you any further. Besides, we have no experience in doing business. If we lose this money, it would be too much of a loss. The main problem is that our current situation can't afford any more setbacks. We need to prioritize stability."

“Sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do business. You can hire someone to manage the shop; you don’t need to do everything yourself,” Yunwei said.

Madam Mu shook her head again, "If we had our own money, we would definitely open a shop and hire a manager to run it. But we don't have any money. I don't feel at ease about borrowing money to do business."

"Sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with borrowing money to do business. You can pay me back once you've made some money, so don't worry," Yunwei earnestly advised.

Madam Mu sighed, "Junior sister, I appreciate your kindness. If it were just your senior brother and me, it wouldn't be a problem to borrow some money from you. But Qingcang and the others are still young, and I can't let them develop a dependency."

"Come here!"

At this moment, Madam Shen brought over the noodles for the five people with Tao'er, and the two of them stopped talking.

"Yunwei, please try my cooking." After putting down the noodles, Madam Shen eagerly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Yunwei.

Yunwei took it and said with a smile, "The business is so good, it must be delicious." Although she said that, she still cooperated by lowering her head and eating. "Mmm, it's very delicious. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the sauce is rich and fragrant, leaving a lingering aftertaste."

Ms. Shen was overjoyed. "If you say it's delicious, then it must be delicious. Okay, you and your friends can eat first, I'll go get busy."

“Go ahead.” Yunwei nodded.

After finishing her noodles, Yunwei saw that Madam Shen was busy, so she didn't make a fuss. She placed a silver ingot on the table and then quietly left with Madam Mu and the others.

Madam Mu seemed determined to make the Moon Kingdom sandwiches. On her way back, she even asked the roadside vendors about the market.

After sending them back to Qingyi Garden, Yunwei privately spoke with Mu Tianji.

"...Senior brother, you're new here and will need money for many things. Here's a 10,000 tael silver note, please keep it."

Mu Tianji stared blankly at the stack of silver notes she handed him, and after a long while, he finally reacted, "Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he wouldn't take it, Yunwei placed the silver notes on the table. "Since you call me junior sister, don't be so polite with me. Keep these silver notes. If it's not enough, just tell me."

Mu Tianji was both amused and exasperated. "Isn't that enough for you? Are you treating yourself like a bank, letting me take whatever I want?"

“That’s not impossible.” Yun Wei said earnestly.

Mu Tianji sighed, "Junior Sister, my family has more than ten people. You can't afford to support us. Besides, we all have hands and feet and can find our own way. So don't worry about us."

"Senior brother, please don't refuse me. The reason I've been able to live a peaceful life in Wei for the past three years is entirely because you concealed my whereabouts. Last time your family suffered a disaster, it was also related to me. Now that your family is in trouble, how can I stand idly by?" Yun Wei said.

"What happened last time really had nothing to do with you. It was mainly because I chose the wrong side, which implicated my family. Don't take the blame." Mu Tianji frowned, his face full of disagreement. Yun Wei said helplessly, "Senior brother, stop lying to me. You were imprisoned by Emperor Zhaoxing last time because he wanted to find out my whereabouts from you. Otherwise, why weren't you with your sister-in-law and the others?"

Mu Tianji choked for a moment, "That's because... I committed a serious crime. They were going to kill me, so naturally they wouldn't let me be exiled with your sister-in-law and the others."

"Go ahead and keep making things up," Yunwei said, watching him with a calm expression.

Mu Tianji: "..."

"Alright, stop refusing. If you keep refusing, your sister-in-law and the others will have to set up a stall at the market to sell Yueguo-style sandwiches. Can you bear to let your sister-in-law work so hard from dawn till dusk?" Yunwei said.

Mu Tianji was taken aback, but then he understood. "Your sister-in-law's roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is delicious. If we sell roujiamo, we might actually make money. Selling roujiamo is a good idea; it's a way out for our family."

“You can open a shop to sell roujiamo (Chinese-style hamburgers),” Yunwei said. “You can take this money and find your sister-in-law a shop in a good location, then specialize in selling Yue Kingdom specialty snacks. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Seeing that she was determined to give him the money, Mu Tianji realized that it would be ungrateful of him to refuse any longer, so he stopped refusing. "You're right," he said, "then consider this money a loan from your senior brother. I'll pay you back when I've earned enough money in the future."

Seeing his serious expression, Yunwei paused and comforted him, "Senior brother, I know you and your sister-in-law are both ambitious people. Take good care of the money and don't feel pressured. Focus on living well in the present first."

Mu Tianji sighed deeply, "My master left me a treasure."

"Senior brother, your words make me feel utterly ashamed," Yun Wei said helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore, I'll accept the money," Mu Tianji said with a smile.

Yunwei felt relieved.

……

Mu Tianji took her advice and rented a shop in a busy area to sell pastries from the Yue Kingdom.

The Mu family has many members, and with everyone working together, the shop opened quickly.

On the day the shop opened, Yunwei specially invited Rong Xue, Aman, Xuanyuan Jing, as well as the shop's managers, such as Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu, to come and support them.

The Mu family was already large, and with the addition of Yun Wei and others, they quickly filled the shop.

This bustling scene, coupled with the sign advertising Moon Kingdom snacks, quickly attracted many passersby to come forward and inquire.

Madam Mu was a generous person. She even had all kinds of pastries cut into small pieces, placed on plates, and served to the people who came to watch.

After tasting the snacks, the people found them delicious and began to spend their money to buy them.

People who came later, having heard that the pastries were delicious and having never tried Yue Kingdom pastries before, couldn't resist taking out their money to try them.

Soon, word spread like wildfire, and long queues formed in front of the shop.

Seeing that customers were coming in droves, Yunwei felt relieved and left with Aman and the others.

Managers Yu Niang and Liu Mama returned to their shops, while Yunwei took Aman and the other two to a teahouse for tea.

"...Is your wedding dress all ready?" Aman asked after they arrived at the teahouse.
