Chapter 38 Help me monitor Mu Xiaowan

"what?"

Ye Jincheng felt that his brain was completely overwhelmed.

These successive twists and turns were even more perplexing than the cases he was handling.

"Why would she want to start a business?"

"No, she's just a country girl, would she know how to do business? And would a family like yours allow her to show her face in public?"

Chu Junbai's mother came from a scholarly family, and she disliked businessmen who reeked of money.

Moreover, since the reforms were only recently implemented, many people still hold onto their old perceptions of small vendors, considering them speculators and looking down on them.

Moreover, most of those who go out to do business are men; very few women go out to start their own businesses.

"I haven't told my family yet. I'll talk about it after everything is settled."

"You can't keep this a secret forever. You might as well do it sooner rather than later. If your family objects, you can always find another way."

Ye Jincheng waited for the water to boil before putting the dumplings into the pot.

"You might as well just find her a permanent job, like at a supply and marketing cooperative or a textile factory. With your family's status, you could easily get someone into any of those places."

Once the mutton and radish dumplings were boiling, the enticing aroma soon filled the entire house.

“I promised her money or a formal job after three years. Now I don’t know what kind of person she is, and a formal job is not suitable for me.”

He can easily withdraw from business, but it's not so easy to do a formal job.

Is she worried about not having enough pocket money? Why don't you just give her some every month?

"I told her I would give her pocket money." But I still couldn't suppress her restless heart.

"If that's the case, this girl is really extraordinary. She has her own opinions and is independent and self-reliant. She should understand that no matter what, a person has to rely on themselves to last." Ye Jincheng gave a very good evaluation.

"Do you know how to cook them? Flip them gently." Chu Junbai saw that Ye Jincheng was flipping the dumplings too roughly, and he was afraid that the dumpling skin and filling would separate.

Ye Jincheng scoffed, "It seems like you're the one who always does the cooking at home. Can you even cook? You're just giving orders without any guidance. Why don't you do it?"

Chu Junbai looked at his hands and said, "My hands are only suitable for holding gun barrels. This spatula is a better match for you."

"Hey, you..."

Chu Junbai made a stop gesture, stopping Ye Jincheng from acting aggressively.

"Do you have any spare rooms in your house? Give me two rooms with basements, or two floors, preferably spacious ones."

It was rare for Chu Shaoqing to be interested in something. If he really cooperated with Mu Xiaowan, the house would be spacious enough to give him his own private workspace.

"You know what, there really is one. Just the other day, my mom asked me to print out some rental ads for her. The place isn't far from here."

Chu Junbai said, "Then reserve a room for me. My requirements are not high. I just need a slightly lower rent than the others."

"You're the first person who dares to take advantage of me."

Chu Junbai finished the entire plate of cooked dumplings.

Then he added, "Since that house isn't far from here, could you keep an eye on Mu Xiaowan for me from now on?"

Whether it's a human or a ghost, there will always be clues left behind.

Chu Junbai was unsure and felt uneasy.

Ye Jincheng knew the seriousness of the matter, and he wasn't joking, so he agreed.

When Chu Junbai returned home, Mu Xiaowan was already asleep. He took his blanket and went to the guest room.

……

The next day, when Mu Xiaowan woke up, she saw Chu Junbai working in his office.

Chu Junbai has a tough guy vibe, but sitting at his desk, he looks very refined, like an elite working in an office.

Chu Junbai noticed the gaze, glanced at Mu Xiaowan, and then asked, "The thousand yuan you mentioned yesterday, is that the dowry money you lost?"

He noticed she was in a bad mood yesterday, but he didn't ask. How could she be so indifferent to something so big?

After thinking for a moment, Mu Xiaowan nodded. She decided not to flaunt her wealth and would rather not reveal the specifics of the situation.

Yesterday, the reason she spoke ambiguously to Chu Junbai and didn't clearly state what the money was for two reasons: first, to intimidate He Yongsheng and let him know that the money belonged to Chu Junbai and had to be returned; and second, to make Chu Junbai believe that she had lost the bride price money.

Anyway, all the money belongs to her.

"I heard from Xiaohui that Chu Shaoting also came into our room. I'm not sure who took it."

"Then why didn't you tell your second aunt about this?"

“I just got married and I don’t want to make a mess of things at home. Besides, it wouldn’t be good if my family did this.”

Chu Junbai clearly did not believe her explanation.

He had personally heard and witnessed Mu Xiaowan's heartlessness yesterday.

"That's no small sum of money. There are several suspects now. If you're unsure, you can report it to the police. I suggest you do it as soon as possible."

"Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. To outsiders, I'm now a daughter-in-law of the Chu family. If my family members steal or commit petty theft, it will be a disgrace to the Chu family. I'll discuss this with my mother and see what she says."

He Yongsheng's share is unavoidable, but as for Chu Shaoting's, it would be best if she could have it.

"Pack your things, I'll take you to see a house. My friend's family happens to have a spare house, but I don't have time tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaowan quickly got up and washed up. Before leaving, she put the radio in her bag to keep in case anyone sneaked into the room and discovered it.

She tried listening to it when she got home last night. Although there was static, she could still hear it.

However, this listening device needs to be upgraded; once you leave this range, you can't hear it anymore.

Chu Shaoze spends most of his day outdoors, which limits the information she can obtain.

Mu Xiaowan still had a bandage around her neck.

Grandma Chu was having tea with her two daughters-in-law when she said to Jiang Yinglan, "You should really keep an eye on this daughter-in-law. She's never home, and I can't even get a cup of tea from her."

Jiang Yinglan naturally understood what the old lady meant.

She resented that Mu Xiaowan was always running around and not staying by her side to serve her.

"Mom, isn't that what I'm here for? Young people can't stay still."

"She doesn't have a job, so why is she running around all day? If people find out, they'll think that our Chu family's daughter-in-law can't settle down after getting married."

Bai Jiao'e said, "Mom, although Junbai's wife knew him before the marriage, she doesn't seem like a casual girl. You don't need to worry. Besides, Junbai is with her every day, isn't he?"

“It’s bad luck to have a wife like this coming and going from home. She not only doesn’t help Junbai, but she’s also a burden to him. Junbai is usually so busy that he doesn’t even come home, but now she goes out with him every day.”

Jiang Yinglan's eyes turned slightly cold. Bai Jiao'e's words implied that Mu Xiaowan and her Junbai had an ambiguous relationship before their marriage.

Looks like I'm still too idle.

"Junbai is only on his honeymoon for a couple of days, and he's spending it with his legitimate wife."

"As for Shaoze, I see him going to the An family every day and picking up and dropping off Muxue from get off work. These two have grown up together since they were little, it's about time they got married. If they don't get married soon, I think Shaoze will lose interest in his work."

Bai Jiao'e's expression instantly turned ugly.

They say a dog that bites doesn't bark.

Jiang Yinglan either doesn't speak at all, or when she does, she always manages to provoke her.

If An Muxue agrees, wouldn't she be in a hurry to marry her son into the family?

On the way to view the house, Mu Xiaowan thought about what she had been planning yesterday and said to Chu Junbai, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Strictly speaking, it's about helping He Yongsheng get what he wants and win the heart of his beloved sooner."
