MeiYu is very excited to go to her shops. She wanted to bring her babies but its hard to bring them all. She still needs to lead the horse cart. She cover her baby from the dust.
MeiYu saw her second brother in law, Feng FeiLi carrying four tied chicken Walking from a far. Based on his rate of walking. He will arrive by noon.
"Second brother."Meiyu stop the horse cart.
Second brother Feili look at his third brother's wife. This lady usually snob them. He is curious why she would stop him.
"What us it third sister?" He notice that the third wife is carrying his fifth nephew.
"I wanted to go to my restaurant then to the clothing store. Are you going to sell that chicken in the town?" She wanted to have the second brother to accompany her with her errands.
"Yes. Eldest sister in law is pregnant. Mother want to make give her rice." He explain quietly.
"I want to raise chicken in the house. Why don't you let me buy those chickens. I'll pay you three silver per chicken." She know that the sale of live 1 chicken is only 30 coper. The three chicken wouldn't even cost 1 silver.
"Sister the 3 chicken would only cost 1 silver. Third Brother would get mad if he knew I sell the chicken for 3 silver." Feili knew that his family is righteous. Even though they are poor they will never deceive someone.
MeiYu pouted, "Then can you drive the horse cart to town? I will give you the 1 silver for driving and another 1 silver for carrying my stuff?"
"You want to hire me?" Feili was astonished. It seems like his sister in law is really changing. "I can accompany you. No nee_"
"No." MeiYu cut off sharply. "I will pay. If you don't accept the money then I will just go on my own." She said subtle making KeiYu seen. Knowing that the brother will be worried for his nephew.
"Ok sister. I'll accept. You can't travel alone with Kei. What if the horse use too much force and you lose control." He worried try to pacify the woman. "Should I bring the chicken back home?"
"Nah. Put it at the back of the cart." She scoot over giving space for her brother in law.
Feili could only ride the cart. He took the rein from MeiYu. "Where do you want to go first Sister?"
"Lets go to the restaurant. I want to talk to my store manager." She said.
'Ding!' A mechanical voice is transmitted to MeiYu's mind. 'FiIntroduce Feng Feili as your brother in law. Reward is 5 gold coin .'
MeiYu smile hearing it. The system task is very easy. She is very happy as they travel to the town.
.....
MeiYu felt happy seeing the fully pack restaurant. She could already see the golds she will earn. She was about to enter when she notice her brother in law. Staying at the cart.
"Second Brother lets go inside. I want to eat lunch." She knew that her second brother is shy because of the old tattered clothes he wore.
"Third sister I can just stay in here. I'll look after the horse cart." He look down at his dirty clothes. No way is he going to enter that fancy restaurant.
MeiYu sighed, the former meiyu is such a b***h. She have the money and she let her husband family suffer. "Lets use the back door. I have my own office here. Don't worry. Please carry KeiYu's swaddle blanket. Follow me."
Feili couldn't do a thing but follow MeiYu. The slave-servants curtsy at them but they couldn't help but look at the dirty looking Feili who follows their spoiled mistress. Upon arriving at the office. Meiyu ordered one servant to call the manager. Few minutes later, a mature lady wearing blue arrive. She kowtow to them.
"My lady we are not expecting your arrival. Forgive me for not greeting you earlier." The lady said before giving a dirty glance at Feili.
MeiYu put the cup of tea on her lips before drinking the delicious tea. "He is Feng Feili my brother in law. He is my family. Ensure that he will not be wrong if he came here. Make sure that all the servants know my order."
'Ding! 5 gold coin depositerd in your bank. Please continue making the Feng family happy.' Meiyu is internally happy hearing the system voice. Se honestly thougjt that the system already left her after giving the freebees. It seems like she is wrong.
The servant immediately lower her head. She felt like she almost loss her life. Feili like her can't believe that his sister in law would introduce him as Family.
"Lulu buy the land around the restaurant. I will be improving the restaurant. I will add rooms so our guest could stay overnight." Meiyu plan to make a 5 star hotel. Her restaurant is now famous. She should add a few features.
"Yes my lady." Lulu smile. Her lady is really a business goddess. "My lady will you be having lunch here?"
"Yes. Bring your specials." She dismissed the servant. "Second brother can you look after Kei. I want to rest for a while."
"Of course."
"Thanks." Meiyu went to her inner office where the bed is located. She will rest for a while. Travelling is really tiring.
...
After 30 minutes, the foods are ready. Feili is amazed at the amount of foods. Its so luxurious. He estimated that the table of food cost hundreds of silver.
Seeing the hesitant look of Feili, she reminded him. "Brother lets eat. We still need to go to my fabric store. Then the market."
Feili felt a little regret seeing so many uneaten food. He hope that he could bring it home. Alas, he is embarrased to ask his sister in law. Its a real pity. The food taste so delicious.
"Brother we need to hurry home. I ordered food for dinner."She said, trying to reassure the elder man. "Lulu is the food prepared?"
"Yes my lady. The servants had put it on the new horse cart. Per your order the new horse cart is twice as big as your old one. It is also being pulled by two big horses. We also bought the things in your list, which includes: 5 sacks of the best quality rice, a big jars of salt and sugar, 10 kilos of preserved meat, and 5 baby pigs." She narrated.
"Great. Just minus it on my income for this week. Plus make sure that everything is accounted." She reminded her manager. "Lets go second brother." She said before carrying KeiYu out.
Feili could only follow. He is starting to feel worried about the changes in his sister in law. Is this for good? Or will she act again?
Feili was amazed with the amount of food in the new cart. His sister in law is really rich.
"Brother we can leave the cart here. The shop is just across the road." MeiYu point at the big fabric shop.
Feili could only obey. They went to the fabric store.
"Lady Mei, welcome back." A tall man said with a gentle smile. The man has an aura of a scholar and dress like a noble. He has blue eyes and a beautiful face.
"Little Mo meet my youngest baby Keiyu." She gesture at her sleeping baby. This man is like a little brother for her. He had been her faithful servant since they were little. "And this man beside me is my second brother in law."
"Its a pleasure to meet you, Second Master. I am MoYu. The manager of the Yu Fabric Shop and Lady Meiyu's right hand." He introduce himself politely knowing that Lady MeiYu would never introduce someone she does not accept. It seems like his lady had matured.
"Little Mo I want 6 mattress, 6 blanket. 7 sacks of cottons, and assorted fabric for clothings."MeiYu demanded.
"Of course my lady." He gestured at the servants to prepare his lady's demand. "Is there any thing else?"
"Oh, I want to pay it cash." She said absentmindedly.
"That would be 3 coin gold or 300 silver." MoYu smile seeing the pale look of second feng.
MeiYu took 3 gold from her purse and gave it to Moyu. She doesn't want to disrupt the accounting of the Fabric shop that why she paid her things..
"Little Mo don't forget to monitor the other shops. I also want to create a new shop. It should focus on jewelries."
"Yes my lady. Is there anything else?" He inquire.
"Nothing else. Lets go Second brother. My babies atumre waiting at home." She said before hurriedly leaving. On the way home, every body was amazed by the amount of things on the cart. Its fully loaded. They could only imagine how much money was used to buy all the things.

Feng Li Ren was gone from home for three weeks. He had accepted a construction job in the near by town. He earn 10 silver coins. He can now buy good foods for his family especially his sons. They are too thin.
He was expecting his sons to greet him crying in hunger like they usually do when he got home. Instead he was greeted by three clean white and obviously well fed children. They are also wearing new beautiful clothes unlike their rag clothes.

"Papa." Shen shyly hold his father's clothes. He is very happy to see his

Liren knew that something had change. He saw the whole family about to eat. The foods prepared are very expensive.
"Welcome back son. Lets eat lunch." Mother feng encourage her son. She felt disheartened seeing how thin he had become.
"Mother, Father I am back." He took a seat on his children's table. "Mother where is Kaiyu?" He asked worriedly seeing that his youngest son is not with them.
Shen tug at his father's clothes. "Yu went to town with Mama. Mama wants to buy new clothes for us. She promise to buy us deserts." He said shyly. He wanted to tell his Papa how his Mama had cared for them. His beautiful Mama had changed. She now care about their well being.
