Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Kind Refusal Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Kind Refusal Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai’s kindness touched Su Yunjin’s heart, but this matter was her own personal affair, which she intended to handle herself, and she did not wish to trouble others.
Gu Ya shared his little wife’s sentiment. He would take care of his little wife’s problem and there was no need for Gu Jianghai to help anymore.
“Fifth brother, your kindness is well recognized by your third brother and your sister-in-law, but we still want to resolve this issue by ourselves,” Gu Ya declined Gu Jianghai’s offer.
Su Yunjin followed suit, “Fifth brother, my husband is right. This matter is my personal affair and I want to deal with it myself, alongside my husband.”
Indeed, this matter was between his sister-in-law Su Yunjin and his third brother Gu Ya. After listening to the words of the two, Gu Jianghai pondered for a while before asking once more.
“Third brother, sister-in-law, are you really sure you don’t want my help?
Su Yunjin nodded confidently, “Fifth brother, rest assured! Your third brother and I can resolve this issue on our own.” Seeing Su Yunjin and Gu Ya speak in such a manner,
Gu Jianghai did not insist further, but instead said, “Third brother, sister-in-law, if that’s the case, I won’t offer my help with this matter. However, if there’s anything you need from me, just say the word. As your brother, it’s my unshirkable duty.”
Gu Jianghai, with a hearty pat on his chest, no longer kept insisting, and Su Yunjin also stopped being overly courteous, smiling and saying, “Fifth brother, if there really is a need for your help, my husband and I will definitely ask you.”
“Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What trouble is there? Back when I made steamed buns, it was you who taught me. If it weren’t for your teaching, how could my buns be so delicious now?” Mrs. Chu said, her face still filled with gratitude as she spoke about the time Su Yunjin taught her how to make steamed buns.
Wondering how Mrs. Chu’s bun-selling business at the market was faring, Su Yunjin casually asked.
“Sister, how is it? Is your steamed bun business doing well in the town?” In fact, judging by the expression on Mrs. Chu’s face, Su Yunjin had already guessed quite a bit.
Even if Mrs. Chu’s business in town wasn’t exactly booming, it definitely wouldn’t be bad. For one thing, the buns she taught Mrs. Chu to make were delicious, and the customers, liking what they ate, would naturally be willing to spend money on them.
Secondly, Mrs. Chu’s face bore a look of joy upon visiting her home, even bringing a basketful of buns for her and Gu Ya to taste. If the business were doing poorly, Mrs. Chu’s face would certainly not wear the expression it did now.
Su Yunjin’s guess was indeed accurate. Mrs. Chu’s business selling buns in the town was quite good. In recent days, aside from the moderate sales on her first day of setting up the stall, the number of people coming to buy her buns gradually increased thereafter.
Along with selling steamed buns, the small stall vendors in the town also sold rice porridge and bean soup. Seeing others doing well, Mrs. Chu also planned to add bean soup and rice porridge to her offerings in time. That would attract more customers.
“Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, my business at the market in the past few days has been pretty good. People who taste my buns like the flavor and enjoy coming to buy them,” Mrs. Chu said, her face beaming with joy.
Knowing that Mrs. Chu’s business was thriving, Su Yunjin felt very happy for her, “Sister, just continue making your buns the way I told you and the flavor won’t falter.”
“Sister-in-law, by the way, the buns I brought for you and third brother today are fresh, made just after I returned this afternoon, and the meat was also bought today. Now that they’re cold, you and third brother just need to steam them again before eating.”
