Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 261

"I have a shop for rent. The location is good. It's not far from the shop where I make a living... Would you consider renting it?"

Ye Xi suddenly had an idea. She actually didn't have a vacant shop to rent out. That was the shop she took back and wanted to run herself.

However, if he could convince Pei Zhu to open a shop next to his, it would be very convenient for them to meet in the future.

"...Let me think about it. After all, this place is well-established and we finally have some regular customers." Pei Zhu hesitated.

“The initial rent can be lower for you, and we can talk about it later when your income is better.

As for this place, since we have regular customers, we will continue to operate, and the two groups of customers will not conflict with each other."

Ye Xi meant that the main products of her shop must be high-quality fabrics.

Pei Zhu didn't expect that Ye Xi had already thought of everything for him, and he had no excuse to refuse for a while.

He has been through the gates of hell and no longer cares about what others think.

Even if others knew that he accepted Ye Xi's help and accused him of relying on women, it wouldn't matter. After all, at least he could see Ye Xi often.

"...Okay, I'll rent it." Pei Zhu made the decision immediately.

Ye Xi was stunned at first. She thought she would have to spend more time convincing him, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

Her smile filled the room with sunshine.

For a moment, Pei Zhu was dazzled by her smile.

After not seeing her for so many years, she seemed to be still the same as before, as clear-headed and cheerful as before, as if the experiences of the past few years had left no trace in her heart.

Of the two of them, he seemed to be the only one who cared about the past. Should he also learn to let it go and start a new life?

Although he is working hard, his heart seems to be stuck in the past.

He should also learn from her and have a new start in his heart.

He smiled back, and the two looked at each other in silence, but they seemed to understand each other.

"Miss, I'll just take this piece of cloth."

Hongxiu came over holding a piece of light blue cloth. She spoke in a low voice with a blush on her face, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"One color is too monotonous. Choose two more that go well together. Then you can make more clothes."

Ye Xi asked Hong Xiu to choose again, and then turned back to ask Pei Zhu: "Do you have a tailor in your shop who can tailor them for them?"

"No, most people here buy cloth and make it themselves at home," said Pei Zhu.

Ye Xi understood that those who bought cloth here were not wealthy people, and they would not be willing to spend money to hire someone to make clothes.

"We can hire a tailor in the new store, and he must have good skills."

After Ye Xi said the first half of the sentence, she paused and added the second half with a cute little expression.

"Okay." Pei Zhu smiled again.

That cute little expression made him feel as if he saw Ye Xi who used to act coquettishly with him.

Ye Xi asked the maid to pay after she picked out the fabrics, but Pei Zhu naturally refused to accept it.

Ye Xi felt that it would not look good to refuse in front of the store so she gave up, thinking that she could rent the shop to him at a lower price in the future.

After buying the cloth, they had no reason to stay, so they went home.

Before leaving, he made an appointment with Pei Zhu to go see the new shop together the next day.

Pei Zhu didn't expect Ye Xi to be so decisive. He said it today and would do it tomorrow.

He quickly checked the accounts to see how much money he could spare to open a new store.

He thought about it for a whole night and could only reluctantly take out the money that he had originally intended to return to Ye Xin and use it first, and then return it when he made money in the future.

The reason why Ye Xi was anxious was because her trip in a month and a half would have to go on as scheduled.

Because she wanted to come back before the New Year to celebrate the holiday with her parents.

After all, she hasn't done this for many years, and this year is the first year she spends with her parents and brothers since she came back, and she doesn't want to miss it.
