Ye Muyu nodded. "Eldest Aunt, my mother is right. I collect this knowledge to earn money. Look, if everyone grows better fields in the future, won't we have more money? By then, more people will buy the books I sell."
With her explanation, her selfless act of doing things for the people had become a businessman's profit-seeking behavior.
After all, even the county magistrate did not care about the people. If it was spread that Chu Heng or she were so selfless, how would the officials like them? She did not want to be targeted.
If she had to keep a low profile, then so be it. She did not want such a good reputation. Mediocrity was the way to survive at this time.
"Even so, we commoners are blessed. If merchants are as kind as Ah Heng's wife, our lives will be better."
Xiang Ling'er was full of admiration for Ye Muyu. She praised, "Cousin-in-law, you're amazing. I'll work hard to earn money in the future so that my nephews can study!"
