58 Itching to Stretch My Arms
Chen Zhuzhu was in disbelief when she heard Su Binglan’s words. “Wow, I didn’t expect you to say something like that, Binglan.”
Chen Zhuzhu felt that the current Su Binglan differed from the past. The new Su Binglan had principles and did not take advantage of others when doing business. She only did what she should do. Although Su Binglan’s family was not well off, she was not greedy for money.
Chen Zhuzhu looked innocent. She grew up in the Chen family and had her own standards and judgment. Nonetheless, she felt that Su Binglan had improved in every way and that she could now befriend Su Binglan.
Chen Zhuzhu rolled her eyes and said smilingly, “Xiao Cui, give me eighty coins.” Still, Chen Zhuzhu gave eighty yuan to Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at Chen Zhuzhu as the young girl blushed and said, “Here, thank you! Also, I want to taste more of your food if you make more.”
“Okay, We will often set up stalls in the town and serve a lot of delicious food. I’ll save some for you.”
Su Binglan chose her friends wisely, but she felt that Chen Zhuzhu was all right and was even willing to befriend her.
Chen Zhuzhu was about to leave with the candied chestnuts when she thought of something and said, “If you set up a stall here and people try and cause you trouble, you can come to me in the Chen residence.”
Su Binglan smiled and said, “Thank you very much.”
Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin was shocked because the Chen residence was the best in Tanghe Town. One would say the Chens had solid connections throughout the capital.
‘The eldest daughter of the Chen family wants to protect Binglan?!’
Then Liu Yinyin looked at Su Binglan’s elegant and graceful appearance and thought she was charming. Liu Yinyin didn’t know this was Su Binglan’s coyness at work.
…
The duo sold two baskets of candied chestnuts that night, earning around a thousand yuan in just one night.
Liu Yinyin was excited but couldn’t believe it. However, she couldn’t help but wonder if they would encounter a robbery on the way home since it was nighttime.
Liu Yinyin said uneasily, “Binglan, would it be safe for us to carry this much money around?”
Liu Yinyin was worried someone would target them. She didn’t expect the candied chestnuts to be a hit. The market had only opened halfway through the night, yet they had already sold all their candied chestnuts.
Although it was only a town, it was close to the pier and a transportation hub. Some wealthy people in town were willing to buy some freshly made food.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Let’s be vigilant. I might want to stretch my arms a little.”
If someone were to take the initiative to ambush Su Binglan, she could stop them. Liu Yinyin looked at Su Binglan’s smile and shivered.
Su Binglan noticed Liu Yinyin was worried, so she took the money bag and said, “Here, I’ll keep an eye on it.”
Su Binglan and Liu Yinyin left the market shortly after. The duo walked on the road between the mountains. There was a small path from the town to the village with weeds and forests surrounding them.
Su Binglan looked at the land as she walked and thought if she had enough funds in the future, she could build a commercial area around that area for a real estate district.
If she planned it well, the development would be excellent and benefit the villagers. The surrounding villagers could also work at the upcoming factories Su Binglan planned for during their free time.
Just as Su Binglan thought of this, she felt someone following closely behind her. She walked to a more remote area, juggled the money bad in her hand, and said, “Show yourself!”
Su Binglan had already noticed them long ago, so she deliberately lured them to the remote area.
