Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Plan Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Plan Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang received the loquats, and both children were very happy, especially Xiangxiang. Mrs. An moved a small stool for the two children.
She let the children sit on the stool to eat.
Mrs. Chu came back from selling steamed buns at the market and heard that Su Yunjin was in Mrs. An’s house. She immediately put down what she was doing and went over.
When Su Yunjin and her group arrived, Gu Jianghai and his wife, Mrs. Chu, were still at the market setting up their stall, and both had not returned with their door tightly locked.
After helping Lord Gu Chengxiang with his medical treatment, since Mr. and Mrs. Chu were not there, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, the couple, did not plan to stay longer and were ready to leave right then and there.
Suddenly, Aluo’s little head popped into the room from outside. The young girl was wearing a bright red dress today, which was particularly endearing.
Upon seeing Aluo, Mrs. Chu followed closely behind and walked in, “Third sister-in-law, third brother, I heard you came back from the Su Family, it’s really…”
As soon as Aluo arrived, she saw the loquats; Mrs. An gave her a few to eat with Xiangxiang and the others. Mrs. An was fair and affectionate to all of her grandchildren, treating them all equally well. Aluo had loquats to eat,
and she joined in playing with Xiangxiang and the others.
Su Yunjin questioned Mrs. Chu.
“By the way, younger sister-in-law, I heard from Auntie Song that you came looking for me at my place. May I know why you were looking for me?” Mrs. Chu had been setting up her stall in town for almost a month.
Following Su Yunjin’s recipe, the steamed buns made by Mrs. Chu had been doing better in business than the other bun sellers at the market. Having made some money, Mrs. Chu did not forget Su Yunjin.
Knowing her bun-selling business was thriving thanks to Su Yunjin’s help, to express her gratitude, Mrs. Chu bought some snacks and two boxes of tea leaves to give to her. The last time Mrs. Chu went to find Su Yunjin, it was to deliver these pastries and tea leaves.
Su Yunjin did not respond to Mrs. Chu’s question but instead said to her and Gu Ya, “Third brother, third sister-in-law, could you wait for me a moment? I’ll be right back.”
Mrs. Chu left, and although Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, the couple, did not know what Mrs. Chu was up to, they still waited inside the house. Soon after, Mrs. Chu returned.
Carrying a basket in her hand.
“Third brother, third sister-in-law, here, everything in this basket is for you.” In addition to the pastries and tea leaves, the basket also contained several large steamed buns that Mrs. Chu had not sold at the market that day.
Su Yunjin did not accept them.
“Younger sister-in-law, what is this about?” Su Yunjin was puzzled as to why Mrs. Chu suddenly gave them these items. She was not surprised by the buns in the basket, but the pastries and the tea leaves baffled her.
Mrs. Chu offered the basket to Su Yunjin again.
She explained with a smile, “Third sister-in-law, these things are a token of appreciation from Jianghai and me for you and third brother. Ever since we’ve been selling buns at the market, thanks to the method you taught me, we’ve been making quite a bit of copper coins!” Mrs. Chu’s face was filled with joy at the prospect of continuing her good business.
She and her husband had hope now for rebuilding their house.
They too wanted to build a spacious and clean new home; it would be more comfortable to live in. Since Mrs. Chu said the gifts were heartfelt from her and her fifth brother, Su Yunjin did not refuse this time and accepted the basket.
And handed it over to Gu Ya.
After leaving the Gu Family’s house, seeing Mrs. Chu and her fifth brother, the couple, happy about earning money, Su Yunjin started to think about how to make even more money on her way back. With the matter of the finest-quality goods and the rumors resolved,
she could finally focus all her time on making money.
