After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife-Chapter 199: is Just Like He Supports Her

After returning from the Academy, Luo Ge prepared everything for the two little ones and set up their accommodation at the Academy.

Early the next morning, she sent them to the Academy.

Elder Mr. Xu had already arranged for someone to wait for them at the entrance.

"Are you Yun Mu and Yun Yi? Elder Mr. Xu asked me to receive you."

Seeing this, Luo Ge handed the food box to them and gently ruffled the little ones' hair.

"Go on now. There are snacks you like in the food box. If you get hungry, eat some. We'll come to pick you up in the evening."

"Okay."

"Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie."

Hearing Luo Ge's words, the two little ones obediently nodded, holding their small food boxes and waving goodbye.

Luo Ge waved back, watching the children enter the Academy before turning to leave with Gu Jinchen.

Back at the Gu Mansion, Gu Jinchen accompanied his wife as she nursed the baby in their room. He took the opportunity to update her on the situation of the several restaurants that had expanded in Ningzhou.

"Yesterday afternoon, while you were at the Academy arranging the accommodation, I went to check on those restaurants in the south and east of the city."

"They're all quite stable, and business is good."

"I also took a stroll around Ningzhou Port and noticed that there are quite a few ships docked there, heading to various destinations."

As Gu Jinchen spoke, Luo Ge listened attentively.

"Yes, the waterways at this port are part of our dynasty's main river system, connecting to many places indeed."

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Jinchen nodded. He wanted to share his plans with her but hesitated for a moment.

After some thought, he spoke up: "Darling."

"Hmm?" Having soothed little Ran to sleep, Luo Ge carefully placed the child back on the bed and turned to look at him quizzically.

"I'm thinking of opening an escort agency."

"As you mentioned, the waterways at Ningzhou Port are part of our dynasty's main river system, connecting to many places. I thought if we provide escort services, we could use this to transport goods."

"That sounds good, but I've heard from my brother that some areas along these waterways are quite unstable. Are you confident about handling that?"

Of course, she supported her husband's ambitions, especially since this idea seemed feasible. However, her question addressed a key concern.

Seeing that Luo Ge had chosen to support him almost without hesitation, Gu Jinchen was delighted.

Smiling, he pulled Luo Ge onto his lap and nestled his head on her shoulder, like an affectionate large dog.

"You can rest assured about that, darling. You know I've served in the military camp before.

So, I'm thinking of organizing my former comrades who've retired from the army to run this escort service together.

They're all veterans, so their skills are certainly better than the average person. Dealing with mountain bandits won't be a problem, you can be at ease."

His reasons for this were twofold. First, he wanted to carve out his own career.

Second, many soldiers retiring from the army these days were forced to leave due to various injuries.

Cases like his, where one could return completely unscathed, were rare. The army provided a fixed salary, which was much better than what ordinary civilians could earn outside.

Under normal circumstances, when their service time was up, many would choose to stay in the army, striving for that salary that could support their families.

However, these soldiers who were forced to retire due to injuries often found it difficult to find work to make a living because of their physical conditions.

This venture could provide a means of livelihood for these retired soldiers.

Even with some injuries, they still had a solid foundation, and escort work was a team effort.

With proper coordination, it wouldn't be a problem.

When he saw Luo Ge receive a million-tael share, he started considering this idea.

He had already tried it out with Hu Jun, Li Qiao, and some other comrades in similar situations, and it proved feasible.

Except for those who were completely immobilized and had no other options,

For the others, as long as the team coordinated well, it wouldn't be an issue.

Hearing Gu Jinchen's explanation, Luo Ge understood that he had already made up his mind.

That being the case, she naturally wouldn't say much more.

"Then by all means, give it a try. No matter what, I support you." Just as he supported her.

"Alright." Hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen felt a warmth in his heart and nuzzled his head into her neck once more.

"Darling, tonight can we leave the children with Qiu Niang and the others for a while?"

These children were like starving ghosts reincarnated, demanding milk every night, forcing them to watch over them constantly.

He and his wife hadn't had any private time together.

Not only were the children hungry, but he had been 'starving' for a long time too, almost ten days now.

Hearing this, Luo Ge's body stiffened. She pushed his head away from her neck and said with a mischievous smile,

"For a while? I don't need to remind you about your self-control, do I? Are you willing to let your daughter go hungry?"

Hearing this, Gu Jinchen fell silent. He turned to look at his daughter, sleeping peacefully and smelling of milk.

The fact was, he couldn't bear it. But still...

"Darling..." he whined pitifully.

But his wife remained unmoved, even playfully pinching his ear a couple of times.

"Be good now. As parents, even if we suffer, we can't let our children suffer. You'll have to endure for now."

"????"

"....." What kind of righteous words were these, filled with moral coercion and twisted logic?
