141 Money Earned in a Day
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife’s puzzled expression and thought she looked adorable. He smiled elegantly and said, “Since you want me to study, I’ll obey you.”
Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She thought Luo Jin’an could seduce anyone without changing his expression while she had messy hair from just waking up.
Luo Jin’an sighed and reached out to comb his wife’s hair behind her ear. His fingers were long and slender. They felt gentle as they ran through Su Binglan’s hair.
Su Binglan felt as if something had tugged at her heartstrings, and her cheeks were flushed red as she turned away. She said, “That settles it, then. I will arrange for you and the two little ones to attend Blue Mountain Academy tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an briefly replied.
Due to Su Binglan’s unexpected nap, she had forgotten to ask Luo Jin’an about some essential things, like how he found her in the courtyard and what he said to the principal.
…
It was already halfway through the afternoon when the couple returned to the shop. The family had sold all their tofu, but there were still some desserts in the dessert shop. That was simply because Su Binglan had prepared more than she needed, not because the customers did not like them.
At that time, the Su family had closed the tofu shop while Su Wenzhe and the others helped in Binglan’s Desserts. Seeing that his little sister had returned, Su Wenzhe said excitedly, “Sister, you’re back!”
Su Binglan looked at the smiles on everyone’s faces and could guess what they were thinking. “Big Brother, did we earn a lot?”
Su Wenzhe simply gestured how much they made with his hand. Su Binglan saw her big brother putting up five fingers and knew the tofu shop had earned more than five silver taels.
In that era, five silver taels for an ordinary family was not a small figure, not to mention they earned that much in a day. Su Binglan was in an excellent mood when she saw the smiles on her family’s faces.
Later that evening, she closed the desert shop and hired an oxcart to return to the village with her family. Everyone openly spoke when they reached home.
“Sister, the tofu shop and Uncle Fengchen’s eggs earned 5,236 coins today, which is more than five silver taels. We’re all excited! Uncle Fengchen’s eggs earned 710 coins, so I’ll put those aside.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “I’ll send the money to Uncle Fengchen after dinner.” She also wanted to visit her uncle to discuss his salted and preserved eggs. Then she continued, “My dessert shop earned more than eight hundred coins today.”
“That’s eight silver taels!” Su Wenzhe gasped.
He thought it would be fortunate if he could earn more than four silver taels a day with the tofu they sold, excluding the money from Su Fengchen’s eggs.
Still, he did not expect his sister’s earnings to be even more impressive. The dessert shop had made eight silver taels in just a day. Su Wenzhe would never have thought of this in the past.
Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin’s hands were trembling as she wondered if she was hallucinating. She had never seen so much money before.
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua were smiling on the sidelines. Even though they had worked hard all day, the couple felt they still had plenty of energy because they had earned so much money.
Su Binglan said, “We’ve earned more than eight silver taels. As I said, our family’s conditions will only improve now. Also, there’s another piece of good news I must share. Jin’an and I went to Blue Mountain Academy, and the principal accepted Xuexuan and Xuehai as students.
“This is the admission document. The little ones will go to school alongside Jin’an tomorrow. We can rest assured with him watching over Xuexuan and Xuehai.”
Liu Yinyin was so excited that she almost did not know what to say. “T-That’s great!”
It was difficult for ordinary families to send one child to school, let alone two. Moreover, they would attend the best academy in the country.
