Main Family

The 600 bottles that they brought are completely sold out.

500 of teas and 100 bottle of sugar.

Minus ten free Tea they gave in the soldiers and the balance for the ordered tea.

They now earned 23 silvers and 80 coppers.

Never in her life did Cheska and Harvey seen so many money.

The two are playing with it just for the sake of it and even using Xavier's phone to take a picture.

At first the two are scared but now they like taking pictures of everything.

Gerald and Xavier gave all the money to their parents.

Julius take 10 silvers and gave the rest to his wife.

Then he gave the silvers to Gerald.

"You go and give it to Ted and Amy. Ask them to pick a date for the wedding."

Gerald is shocked.

Then he looks at the whole family then lastly at Xavier.

"I....This is..."

Xavier pats his back.

"You have to apologize to sister-in-law, if we have much money we will triple it but just say we won't let her get bullied later."

Gerald chuckles.

"Thank you."

Cheska claps her hands.

"Eldest brother, third brother, we all help you to put the brand label and the lace on the cup. We already made the same amount as yesterday."

Xavier rubs her head.

"Thank You. When we have a wedding date, we will all be busy. I want Eldest brother to have a wedding that the whole village will drool to have."

Gerald blushes.

"It doesn't matter. A simple wedding is enough."

"Brother, it is fine if others are like you but they are not. We have to intimidate them to show them that we are not an easy family to mess with sides,it will be a way to help second brother to have a line of woman who wants to marry him." Xavier said whispering but his voice is too loud.

Harvey frowns and carry Xavier in the air..

"Ah! Joke! It's a joke!"

Everybody laughs at them.

Julius hugs his wife and kisses her temple.

"He wants them to experience an easy life. Just let him be."

"But what if he is using all his money? What about his own marriage?"

"Your son likes men."

"Wha--" Layla is so shock and worried.

Though it is not that rare to see men liking men, she never seen a man like that has a man who stays with him till he is old.

It means...how much they love each other at first, it will still be an option to leave their partner.

"Do not tell him I told you. He is hiding it."

"Then how did you know?"

"I find out when I stay in his house before. I have a hint before but It just confirmed my guess. I am waiting for him to say it but he is not yet able to say it to me."

".........he is suffering all alone. Should we tell him? We have a man liking another men in my family tree. It is not a real illness like the elders told us. I don't mind if he doesn't want to marry a woman. He is already doing so much for this family.My poor son."

Julius hugs her tighter.

"I know you will not judge him. But let's just wait for him. He needs to face this challenge by himself."

"I....I will listen to you,husband."

That night, Xavier gone to the other side and text the tea house shop where he first bought the tea and order another sack of tea.

Of course he only buy the cheapest tea that is not in the market.

Since the other side already has expensive tea he is not going to pursue the tea business further. This 5 cheap ones is his bottom line.

Thinking about other stuffs like cup noodles and other processed food. He smiles.

If it is the modern times nobody will look at you if you sell a cup noodles in the street but in ancient times it will be received quiet good, or so he was assuming.

After that he came back to the other side and sleep.

Tomorrow he will go to the supermarket. The weather is still not as cold but winter is about to make everything colder.

He wants to use this time to earn more simple cash for the family.

Early morning, after eating breakfast, Gerald went to Arianne's house while Xavier went to the modern side of the door.

"Come in. What is wrong?" Arianne father smiles to Gerald.

"I brought the money for her bride's money.

My father ask me to ask you to set a date for the wedding." Gerald said.

Arianne claps her hands and grabs her Mom's arm.

"Mom!"

"Look at you. So excited to leave the house?"

Arianne pouts. "That is not.."

"Just kidding." Her mother smiles.

Arianne father also smile.

"I thought it will take longer."

"Well, my third brother is very capable." Gerald chuckles and a bit ashamed.

"That is good. A family should treasure a lucky charm." Ted said.

"Yes. He really is a lucky charm." Gerald proudly said.

Arianne brings him to the door. She is really happy.

"My brother said he want a huge wedding. For you and for second brother's sake."

"Oh...Is it alright? He already help us with our wedding...I...."

"Just be thankful and treat him nicely in the future."

"Of course! I will become a good sister-in-law."

The two happily hold hands before they separate.

Just a few hours.

The Austin main family came to propose marriage to Arianne.

Arianne snorts.

Ted and Amy never consider this main family from the beginning. They rather ask a man in town to marry Arianne than to give her to this selfish and self-centered family.

And this Lufus is a bad man. He is the same age as Gerald but he is lazy and he is a bully. There is a rumor that he force a woman before and almost got killed when her fiancee learned about it. After that Lufus slightly become docile but now here he goes again.

Ted is really trembling in anger.

In the end, Ted shooed the people away from Austin's main family.

The matriarch is angry.

"You slut! We even allow you to be wed to my son, you are just good enough as a concubine!"

"Hah! You talk so much old woman, it's not like nobody knows that Lufus is a bad egg. Ask anyone, as if anybody will agree to marry your useless grandson, you better go to neighboring town where your grandson's infamy is not rampant!" Arianne angrily shouted  back. Amy held her back with her protecting her.

Lufus angrily point at her.

"You call me useless. I will prove you that I am not."

Ted grabs his knife.

The Austin family retreated but Ted become scared for his daughter's safety.

"We should hurry the wedding."

Amy and Arianne nods.
