Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 103: His Adorable Little Wife

Once they returned to the courtyard, Su Yijia glanced at them and waved like nothing happened. "Alright, whatever it is, let’s talk about it after we finish our meal."

The two of them sat at the table, and Ke Zeming felt somewhat embarrassed, not knowing what to say. He suppressed the guilt inside and concentrated on eating.

Su Yijia ate rather quickly, and she didn’t eat much. They hadn’t finished their meal, and she had already started feeding congee to Qin Kaize.

Ke Zeming stole a glance at them, and the emotions that he had just managed to calm down began to surge again. It was difficult to describe the feeling.

Once everyone finished their meal, Su Yijia turned to Zhu Zirui. "If I want those clean soy sauce bottles, what will be the price? I also want some clean clam shells. I’ve made some ointment myself and want to put it in these to sell. What would be the price for these?"

"It depends on how many you need. If it’s a dozen bottles or shells, I can get them for you for free. However, if you need over a hundred, the soy sauce bottles would cost a whole pack of Chunghwa cigarettes, and the clam shells would be two packs of Chunghwa. Although the black market is relatively open now, it’s not wise to buy them openly from the factory. Some one hundred isn’t too much, and it isn’t difficult to. Gegt them. But for an even larger quantity, you might need to find a reasonable excuse," Zhu Zirui explained in great detail.

He didn’t explain too clearly because he knew that Su Yijia was asking these questions because she also knew how difficult it was to obtain these items.

In this day and age, buying cigarettes requires not just money. Cigarettes not only require scarce cigarette coupons, but there are also purchase restrictions in different places. Some brands of cigarettes are only available in specific regions. In their area, most of the good cigarettes are from Chienmen, and for brands like Chunghwa, you need to find someone to bring them from other cities. So, giving a pack of Chunghwa as a gift is not just about having money and coupons; you also need connections.

In the black market, the price of a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes had risen to three yuan, so if someone smoked these cigarettes, they were considered quite influential in the eyes of others.

"Okay, then please get me ten clam shells for now. I need them to store ointment for Ke Zeming," Su Yijia smiled at him and didn’t immediately order hundreds of them.

Zhu Zirui glanced at her, as if worried she might be unhappy, and added, "If you want them, I’ll find a way to get the Chunghwa cigarettes for you."

"Thanks. If I need them, I’ll definitely let you know. I’ve just finished making the items, and I only need a few to take to the black market to sell. Rest assured, if I can really sell them, I’ll definitely ask for your help. By the way, there’s one more thing I need your help with," Su Yijia was not being overly polite and handed him a bunch of keys from her pocket.

"I bought two small courtyards, and one of them can be used for living directly. I’d like you to arrange for someone to fix it up. I plan to move there after half a month for my wedding. I also prepared ten ten-yuan bills for you. Whatever is needed for the toilet, water, electricity, I’m entrusting it to you. You can take the money first, and if it’s not enough, let me know."

As for the Chunghwa cigarettes, she wanted to go to the black market herself to see just how difficult it was to obtain them. While Zhu Zirui was willing to help, she couldn’t be unaware of the effort and risks involved.

However, if she really wanted to start this small business, she would need help. Packaging, Chunghwa cigarettes, or increasing sales volume were not tasks she could handle alone. Zhu Zirui seemed to be quite knowledgeable about these matters, and he had been doing some work himself. In the current circumstances, he was the best choice to help her with her small business. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Alright, I’ll send it over to you this afternoon," Zhu Zirui readily accepted the money and immediately agreed. He was well aware that refusing the money wasn’t an option. It was much better for him to find people than for Su Yijia to do so. After a good nap in High Huabin’s bed, he rushed off on his bicycle before his work shift.

Su Yijia and Qin Kaize naturally went back to their room for a nap, and High Huabin didn’t want to sit with Ke Zeming in an awkward silence. Since there was nothing interesting on the radio, he decided to take a nap too.

Qin Mingcheng, who was on the second floor, saw that Ke Zeming had ordered something but hadn’t said anything yet. He wanted to strike up a conversation with him, but Ke Zeming left without even exchanging a word. When he walked past him, he didn’t even give him a side glance; he simply left.

Qin Mingcheng clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling with anger. Damn it! They all thought so little of him! They shouldn’t think he couldn’t see through their petty tricks. That loser had been bedridden for a month, and these people had only visited two or three times. But now that Su Yijia had been here for just a week, they had one living in her house and another who had visited twice. So, were they genuinely concerned about Qin Kaize, or were they just up to no good?

Qin Kaize was indeed quite pitiable, with his wife cheating on him with his best friends, and not just once. This guy was a real failure.

Su Yijia woke up and lounged in bed for a while before finally sitting up. The moment she moved, Qin Kaize woke up. His dim eyes locked onto her, as if he had something to say.

Su Yijia quickly helped him sit up and held the notepad in front of him.

"Do you really want to give Ke Zeming the prescription? Don’t make things difficult for yourself because of me," Qin Kaize had been worried the whole time.

However, Ke Zeming was right there, and he couldn’t ask directly.

In the world of traditional Chinese medicine, a prescription was sometimes considered more important than one’s life. The senior Chinese doctor must have given special instructions regarding these prescriptions to Su Yijia.

"Functional Recovery Ointment is no big deal. It’s a life-saving miracle drug, and it’s an honor for traditional Chinese medicine to be able to contribute to our country. There’s no need to hide it like we did in the past. However, I need to consult you about the Great Strength Pills. Ke Zeming might want to use that medicine to form a highly skilled team, but I wanted to ask for your opinion. I am quite sure that I can treat all of your injuries now. It’s just that we need to prepare the medicine slowly. For this reason, I want to keep any benefits at home, but I’m not forcing you to do anything. It depends on if you’d like to participate and if he can be trusted."

Su Yijia spoke sincerely and seriously, without concealing her self-interest, and placed this difficult decision in Qin Kaize’s hands.

"Let him do it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s me or him. He is my most trusted friend," Qin Kaize’s eyes filled with a profound sense of amusement.

He found the girl in front of him filled with him, especially cute. Her little schemes were cute as well, with no hint of cheap. In the past, he had only thought that people like this were too narrow-minded, lacking a broader perspective. But now, being cherished and cared for in this way, he realized how wonderful it was to have someone willing to go all out and think of everything for you, wanting to offer you every bit of goodness and benefit.
