Chapter 799 - 800: This Child is Too Lovable
Yang Chuxia smiled, "Yanzhu is such a good boy, thank you, Yanzhu."
"Good, I’m good." Chen Yazhu mimicked her speech, nodding repeatedly. His tender, cute voice was very endearing.
"All this time you say he’s stingy, but no one had to ask for this candy; he gave it away himself," Yang Chuxia said, looking at the candy in her hand. "Don’t talk about him so much, moderation is key. If he grows up with big hands, it’ll be too late for you to regret."
But Yang Ruoqiu just blurted out absent-mindedly, "This naughty kid is so calculating. You know this candy was given to him by Qingbao. When Qingbao wanted it back, he wouldn’t give, yet all of a sudden, he gave it to you."
By the time Yang Chuxia heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. Pinching Chen Yazhu’s cheek, she asked, "Is auntie pretty?"
"Pretty, auntie is pretty."
Yang Chuxia triumphantly glanced at Yang Ruoqiu and said, "See? Your naughty child isn’t calculating; he just admires pretty girls. If Qingbao was a beautiful girl, Yanzhu would definitely have given the candy to him. Isn’t that right, Yanzhu?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Yazhu nodded repeatedly, clapping his little hands joyfully, not really understanding what he was agreeing to.
"What do you know, just agreeing away," Yang Ruoqiu touched his head. However, the clever boy quickly sidestepped and giggled, saying, "Auntie is beautiful; auntie is beautiful."
Yang Chuxia doubled over laughing, "This child is just too adorable. It’s as if we’re kindred spirits. Can I keep him for a few days?"
"Ah? Wouldn’t that be troublesome? Kids can be noisy at night."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia laughed, "What’s there to be afraid of? We have our mother here and Sister-in-law Li, who is very caring. Don’t worry. Didn’t you mention that you and your husband are busy with something? Be on your way. I know you’re here to keep me company while Brother An is away. You two have a lot of things to do at home, why not let your son keep me company. Meanwhile, you guys carry on with your work. It may also be a good chance to give Yazhu a younger sister."
She even teased Yang Ruoqiu with a playful look.
"A sister? Nonsense! Chen Sheng is planning to rent a shop in town to start a business. He’s been busy checking out potential locations recently."
"That’s a great idea. Usually, you can have someone else manage the shop, and when your husband is around, he can do the same. You can also help when he’s not. It’s a decent source of income. What are you planning to sell?"
Yang Chuxia thought Chen Sheng had quite an ambitious plan, which was impressive.
She then asked, "Is there anything you need help with? Are your finances sufficient? If not, feel free to let me know."
"Renting a shop isn’t as expensive as buying one. We can afford the rent. If we find ourselves short of money, we’ll come to you. Chen Sheng wants to sell sundry goods in the shop."
"Sundry goods?" Yang Chuxia pondered, then suggested, "Instead of sundry goods, why not sell inexpensive rouge and facial powder? Your husband and his theater team buy so many of these when they perform. They must have their own supply source. Let them get the goods for you for resale. It’s more profitable to earn women’s money. Which girl doesn’t like to look good? Don’t price the goods too high. As long as the quality isn’t too poor, many would be willing to buy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoqiu’s eyes lit up.
"What you’re saying makes perfect sense, no wonder you’re such a successful businesswoman. Your ideas are so quick. But setting up a cosmetics shop will require more capital investment. We’ll deal with this later. I’ll go and discuss this with Chen Sheng first. After hearing your suggestion, I also think a makeup shop is more promising. I’ll leave the kid with you then."
