Chapter 181: Doing Business
"Yes!"
Tian Yumei then remembered what she had wanted to say. She slapped her thigh hard and looked at Song Miqiu with a worried expression, "Did you sleep well?"
She wanted to say something more, but Qiu Tianlei suddenly grabbed her arm, so she had to give up.
Song Miqiu was incredibly embarrassed; she could tell what Tian Yumei wanted to ask her.
Facing their eyes, Song Miqiu bit her lip and stammered without saying a word.
She couldn't very well tell them that she had been tied up and slept all night, could she?
Given Qiu Tianlei's personality, he would definitely rush into the room to settle accounts with Yu Huailin. Right now, Yu Huailin is still catching up on sleep, so it's best not to let them know.
Seeing that Song Miqiu refused to speak, Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei exchanged glances. Having been married for several years, they naturally understood each other's meaning.
The couple silently shut their mouths in perfect unison.
Tian Yumei looked at Qiu Xiaoshuang, placed the food in front of her, and asked in confusion, "Xiaoshuang, where's your brother? Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
"Brother?" Qiu Xiaoshuang ate the steamed bun in her hand, picked up the spoon and took a big bite, puffing out her cheeks as she said, "Brother seems to have said he won't get up until later."
"This little white thing." Tian Yumei frowned, about to say something, but then she thought about it and finally sighed. She bent down and put Qiu Xiaobai's food aside, so he could eat it when he got up.
Although Qiu Xiaoshuang is a little girl, she eats very quickly.
Before long, she finished all the food that Tian Yumei had placed in front of her. She rubbed her stomach, patted it contentedly, and giggled.
Tian Yumei smiled and pointed at Qiu Xiaoshuang's belly with her finger, laughing and scolding, "Look at the state you've become from eating!"
“Grandma…” Qiu Xiaoshuang looked at Song Miqiu with a wronged expression after being spoken to by Tian Yumei.
Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei exchanged a glance, then smiled and pinched Qiu Xiaoshuang's cheek. "You've eaten so much, aren't you going to go and digest it?"
Qiu Xiaoshuang pouted, wanting to say something, but was glared at by her father.
She lowered her head in grievance and could only hug the doll that Tian Yumei had placed aside to her own chest, her little mouth muttering as she left.
After Qiu Xiaoshuang left, Song Miqiu turned her gaze to Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, and said helplessly, "Now that the child is gone, what do you want to say?"
Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei exchanged a glance, and Qiu Tianlei spoke first: "Mother, I want to start a business. I don't want to stay at home doing nothing all the time."
He stays at home all day and is getting sick from boredom.
“Yes, Mother,” Tian Yumei chimed in. “Tianlei always complains to me that it’s boring staying at home all the time. I’m enough for him. If he were just an ordinary person, I wouldn’t have anything to do.”
As she continued, Tian Yumei joked.
If her husband wanted to start a business and make money, she, as his wife, would naturally agree wholeheartedly.
As long as her husband is ambitious, she will support him in whatever he wants to do.
“But…” Song Miqiu frowned. She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
That's true. If he just lay around at home doing nothing, he would get sick from boredom. Moreover, Qiu Tianlei is a man, so he should find something to do to support the family.
Thinking of this, Song Miqiu nodded. She took a bite of her food and then asked in confusion, "So what are your plans now? Tell your mother, and maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianlei immediately became interested. He glanced at Tian Yumei and first asked Song Miqiu, "Mother, do you think Yumei's breakfast is delicious?"
Song Miqiu was puzzled as to why Qiu Tianlei asked this question. She glanced at Tian Yumei with a questioning look and nodded, "It's quite delicious. I took some to the Imperial Hospital before. Everyone who had breakfast made by Yumei there said it was very good."
Qiu Tianlei chuckled and patted the table, then shared his thoughts with Song Miqiu, "Yu Mei and I just want to start a breakfast business and sell some local specialties. We just wanted to ask you what you think, Mother."
"Breakfast?" Song Miqiu blinked, only then realizing why Qiu Tianlei had asked that question.
She smiled and nodded, "Since you have this idea, as your mother, I will definitely help you!"
Song Miqiu made a move to get up and get the money when someone bumped into her. She took a step back and steadied herself by leaning against the wooden table behind her.
She looked over in confusion and saw Qiu Xiaobai sitting on the ground.
Song Miqiu quickly bent down and helped the person up from the ground. She asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
Unlike Qiu Xiaoshuang, Qiu Xiaobai was not healthy. Perhaps because she didn't have much money before, Qiu Xiaobai was very thin and couldn't be raised back to health no matter what she tried.
For a time, Song Miqiu even considered trying to feed him some traditional Chinese medicine, but the other party clearly did not like to take medicine and often refused several times. Song Miqiu had no choice but to temporarily put aside the idea of feeding him medicine and find another way.
Tian Yumei also frequently tried to feed Qiu Xiaobai nutritious foods in different ways.
However, Qiu Xiaobai is a very picky eater, and Tian Yumei failed many times before finally finding Qiu Xiaobai's tastes and managing to fatten him up a bit.
Seeing this, Qiu Tianlei quickly scolded, "Can't you watch where you're going? What if you bump into Grandma and make her fall?!"
Qiu Xiaobai stood there looking aggrieved, his head bowed.
Seeing this, Song Miqiu immediately wanted to protect Qiu Xiaobai. She reached out and patted the other person's back, then turned to look at him, saying, "He didn't do it on purpose, and I'm fine."
"You're alright, Mother! I saw you almost fall just now!"
Tian Yumei also wanted to protect Qiu Xiaobai, but it was indeed Qiu Xiaobai's fault. If she insisted on taking the other party's money, it would have a bad influence on Qiu Xiaobai.
She looked troubled and stood there helplessly, watching Qiu Tianlei scold Qiu Xiaobai, while she bent down and moved the food that was placed aside to Qiu Xiaobai's seat.
After Qiu Tianlei had finished scolding them, Tian Yumei finally spoke up and persuaded them to eat.
"Alright, hurry up and eat."
Qiu Xiaobai whispered an apology to Song Miqiu and obediently sat on the stool eating the food that Tian Yumei handed him.
Seeing this, Song Miqiu looked at the other party with heartache, then suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "By the way, you just said you wanted to sell some breakfast, but how much silver do you need? I have money now, I'll help you out."
"Sponsorship?" Qiu Tianlei paused, then shook his head repeatedly. "No need. We have enough money to support ourselves for the time being. Mother, you can save your money for now!"
"You have money?" Song Miqiu looked at the other person in confusion. Where did they get the money to invest in a business when they had been staying at home all this time?
