Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Agreed to Help Her Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Agreed to Help Her “Mmm, my husband has already agreed to it,” Mrs. Chu did not mention that Gu Jianghai initially disagreed, only that he had agreed to her request.
Gu Ya understood his brother Gu Jianghai very well and knew that his brother probably would not agree to this matter easily. However, now that his sister-in-law Mrs. Chu said his fifth brother had agreed.
Gu Ya did not say anything more.
Mrs. Chu wanted to do business, and Su Yunjin was very supportive. Su Yunjin was a modern person, and her thoughts were different from the people here. In Su Yunjin’s view, women and men are equal, women can make money and do business just like men; what men can earn, women can too.
When Su Yunjin learned that Mrs. Chu wanted to go into business, she looked at Mrs. Chu with excitement, “Sister-in-law, that’s great news, you want to go into business, that’s a very good thing.”
“Third sister-in-law, you also agree with me doing business?” Mrs. Chu’s eyes lit up. She then said with some embarrassment, “I have never done business before. This is my first time, and I’m afraid of not doing well.”
Everyone starts their business ventures from the first time, if you don’t know, you can learn! The more you try, the more you become familiar. This is not at all a problem.
“Sister-in-law, it’s okay, even if you don’t do well, it doesn’t matter; after doing it for a while, you will gain experience,” Su Yunjin encouraged Mrs. Chu.
Encouraging Mrs. Chu to be bold in her attempt.
Mrs. Chu then offered Su Yunjin a taste of her steamed buns, “Third sister-in-law, we’ve been talking for so long, and you haven’t yet tasted the steamed buns I made! Have a taste and see whether the buns I made are good or not?”
Su Yunjin took a bite.
The wrapper of the bun was quite soft, but the filling was lacking; it didn’t taste very good. Overall, the buns made by Mrs. Chu could only be considered average, neither good nor bad.
There were many selling steamed buns in the market, and if Mrs. Chu didn’t have an advantage, it wouldn’t be easy to make money selling buns at the market.
Mrs. Chu’s steamed buns needed improvements.
Su Yunjin’s expression did not show satisfaction, and Mrs. Chu, a bit worried, asked, “Third sister-in-law, what do you think? Are my buns not tasty enough?”
To help Mrs. Chu make the buns more delicious, Su Yunjin told her the honest truth.
“Sister-in-law, the taste of your steamed buns is indeed lacking,” she said.
Mrs. Chu hung her head down, somewhat disheartened, “Third sister-in-law, what should I do? Should I go back and steam another batch?” This batch hadn’t turned out well.
She would have to make another.
Since Mrs. Chu and her husband Gu Changshun were both nice, and also because Su Yunjin was very supportive of Mrs. Chu’s endeavor to go into business to make money, Su Yunjin decided to give her a hand with selling steamed buns.
“Sister-in-law, if you really want to sell steamed buns, I can help you.” In modern times, she had seen various kinds of buns–soup dumplings, crab roe buns, fennel buns. Su Yunjin knew of many types of buns, and with her help, she could definitely make Mrs. Chu’s buns both delicious and salable.
Joy appeared on Mrs. Chu’s face.
“Third sister-in-law, can you really help me?”
Su Yunjin took another bite of the bun in her hand and, joking with Mrs. Chu, said, “Sister-in-law, I can help you, but let’s wait until after I have eaten.”
Mrs. Chu busily agreed again and again.
“Of course, of course. It’s more important for you and third brother to have your meal,” she said.
While Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya had their meal, Mrs. Chu waited beside them. Mrs. Zhang and the others also noticed Mrs. Chu going to Su Yunjin’s home today.
They saw Mrs. Chu carrying a basket into Su Yunjin’s house.
Mrs. Zhang looked disdainful, feeling that Mrs. Chu only knew how to ingratiate herself with Su Yunjin’s family now. Of course, as disdainful as she was, Mrs. Zhang had no time to bother with Mrs. Chu’s affairs.
Her son Gu Changshun’s marriage with Wan Ruyan was already set for the sixteenth of this month, only a few days away. With the banquet arrangements to attend to, Mrs. Zhang had started to get busy as well.
