I insist

Chapter 188: My Beloved

Song Miqiu felt gratified.

In the past, Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei would always come to her for money when they were struggling financially, but now they don't need to come to her at all, and she doesn't need to help them. They can support themselves completely.

In the evening.

Song Miqiu was organizing some prescriptions with her head down, which would make it much easier for her to give them to others in the future.

She lowered her eyes and wrote the prescription on a piece of paper, just as she heard her bedroom door open.

At first, Song Miqiu thought it was Yu Huailin. When she saw that it was quiet, she looked up and saw that it was Tian Yumei. Song Miqiu was stunned for a moment.

She put down her calligraphy brush and asked with a light laugh, "Why are you here so late?"

"Could it be that you're not going to sell breakfast tomorrow?" Song Miqiu teased.

Tian Yumei smiled and waved her hand, "There's no reason not to earn this money. I came here to give something to Mother for safekeeping."

"custody?"

Song Miqiu looked over with some curiosity.

Tian Yumei took out her money pouch from her sleeve, held it in both hands, gently placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "The money in this pouch is what Qiu Tianlei and I have saved up over the past few days. We'll definitely spend it recklessly."

"Tianlei and I were thinking of entrusting this sum of money to you, Mother, so you can keep it safe for us. We'll feel at ease, and the money can be saved!"

Song Miqiu raised an eyebrow in surprise. She stood up, walked to Tian Yumei, opened the money bag on the table, and carefully turned it upside down to take a look.

The silver jingled in her ear as Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei carefully watched the silver coins on the table, afraid that they would fall to the ground.

Having long been involved in organizing medicinal herbs, Song Miqiu was naturally quick at sorting out odds and ends.

She carefully sorted out the items on the table, counted the silver coins, and said with some surprise, "You guys are quite something, you actually have more than fifty taels of silver!"

Song Miqiu was very surprised; she hadn't expected that selling her hometown breakfast would be so popular.

In just a few days, they have sold more than fifty taels of silver, which is enough to show that Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei are very enthusiastic and serious about this matter.

"Yes, people in the city haven't tasted the flavors of our hometown, so they want to come and buy some. They think it's good, so they come every day, and that's how they've made more money," Tian Yumei said somewhat embarrassedly.

Making too much money these past few days isn't a good thing either, and Tian Yumei has also noticed that some people are coming to learn from her.

She originally intended to reveal their methods since there was nothing wrong with it, but fortunately Qiu Tianlei stopped her and gave her a good talking-to before she agreed.

If they were to reveal their method, soon the capital would be filled with breakfasts that tasted just like theirs, and how would they continue their ambitious venture?

Tian Yumei also realized that it's best for a restaurant to have its own unique flavor in order to stand out among many other shops.

She did not tell Song Miqiu about this; Tian Yumei wanted to resolve it herself with Qiu Tianlei.

"Your business is doing quite well!" Song Miqiu joked with a smile. "Sometime I'll get up early and come see you for myself, to see just how capable my daughter-in-law and son really are!"

After saying that, Song Miqiu lowered her head and carefully put the fifty-odd taels of silver into the money bag. After she finished tidying it up, she took Tian Yumei's hand and placed the money bag in Tian Yumei's palm.

“Mother, what are you doing…” Tian Yumei looked up at the other woman in confusion.

Normally, Song Miqiu was in charge of the household, and Tian Yumei was used to handing over her money to Song Miqiu.

Now that the other party has done this, she doesn't know what to do.

"It's time for you to take charge. I'm getting old, and if I spend all my time calculating these amounts of money, I really won't be able to manage it properly!" Song Miqiu waved his hand and declined with a smile.

She can't wear this old woman's mask forever. When Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei grow old, she can't still look the same.

Sooner or later, Tian Yumei will have to take over the household. Rather than letting Tian Yumei rush to take over later, it's better to let her get used to how to run the household beforehand.

Tian Yumei was overjoyed. She looked at the money in her palm and then looked up at Song Miqiu, feeling very happy.

But remembering what Song Miqiu had done before, Tian Yumei, though pleased, still returned the money pouch. "Mother, I've been thinking about it. I'm not familiar with this kind of household management, and I'm afraid I might make a mistake..."

"Hey!" Song Miqiu glanced at Tian Yumei with exasperation and scolded, "Who is born knowing how to do everything? Did you crawl and walk the moment you were born?"

"Who never makes mistakes while learning? If you're put in charge, then take charge! Stop with all the nonsense!"

Tian Yumei stood there like a student, being scolded by Song Miqiu, but she knew in her heart that Song Miqiu was only talking to her because he cared about her.

She was indeed somewhat hesitant to take charge, and it was only right that Song Miqiu reprimanded her.

Tian Yumei bit her lower lip lightly. Seeing that Song Miqiu was determined to let her take charge of the household, she smiled and withdrew her offer, no longer refusing. "Since you've said so, Mother, I won't refuse anymore. I'll keep the money myself!"

Song Miqiu nodded, and patted Song Miqiu on the shoulder with a smile, "That's right!"

Tian Yumei left happily with her things, perhaps because she was too happy, she hummed a little tune as she left.

After seeing Tian Yumei off, Song Miqiu stood there, supporting herself on the wooden table with one hand. Suddenly, she remembered that Yu Huailin hadn't wanted to talk to her for the past few days.

They act as if they are some kind of monster, making them annoying to everyone.

But then she thought, what if Yu Huailin already has someone he likes?

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu's eyes lit up. If that were the case, she would definitely be happy.

Tian Yumei's words still weighed heavily on her heart. Song Miqiu could never have imagined that a handsome and dashing man would be interested in an old woman like her.

After all, he hadn't shown the other person what he looked like under the mask.

If you have someone you like, that would be wonderful, and I could try to bring them together.

Song Miqiu lowered her eyes and tidied up the prescriptions on the table. Her lips were downturned. For some reason, she had felt very uncomfortable since earlier.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

She stopped what she was doing, rubbed her chest, her eyelids drooping, and muttered to herself, "What on earth is going on..."

Song Miqiu placed his fingers on his wrist to take his pulse, but did not notice anything amiss.

This made Song Miqiu even more puzzled. Her body was perfectly normal, so why did she feel a pang of heartache?

She shook her head, not intending to think about it any further, put the prepared prescription aside, and strode towards the outside of the house.

No matter what, she had to have a serious talk with Yu Huailin to resolve their engagement. After all, now that she had someone she loved, it wasn't good for her to continue being husband and wife with this old woman on the surface.
