Chapter 70: I don’t deny that there is some pretense involved
Before leaving, Su Wan took out a few taels of silver and stuffed it into Su Mu's pocket, but Su Mu refused to take it.
"I have food and shelter every day, so I don't need to hold money in my hands!"
"Carry some silver with you, in case you need it." Seeing that he was alone outside and still needed the silver, Su Wan insisted that he accept it.
Su Mu refused to say anything:
"I'll be back in a few days. I don't need any money. Besides, I've received my monthly allowance, so I still have some money on me."
Since he didn't want it, Su Wan didn't force him anymore. Su Mu sent them out of Jishan Hall and didn't go back until they were far away.
Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short, Su Mu fell into deep thought. There are many stories about talented men and beautiful women, but being well-matched is a huge obstacle.
They are both a man and a woman in their prime years. Spending every day together like this, is it really true that they won’t develop feelings for each other?
Also, Jiang Yu is not an ordinary citizen. Are he and Su Wan really suitable for each other?
In his opinion, Su Wan is a clear-headed girl with strong opinions and personality. He just hopes that she will not be blinded by emotions.
After Su Wan left Jishan Hall, he started buying ingredients. He bought 50 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of sugar, sesame seeds, dried red dates, and raisins, as well as a stack of oil paper.
After returning, let the third brother go to the mine where Su's father and mother are, bring them back and keep them away from danger, and then we can talk about business matters.
Anyway, no matter how important things are, they are not as important as the safety of parents.
Fortunately, there was Jiang Yu, a free laborer. Her strength was still too weak, so she could only trouble him with peace of mind.
He was dressed so decently, but he was running on the street carrying a load. The contrast was so obvious.
We had agreed to replace his mask, and when we went to buy materials, we actually found that there were ready-made masks for sale.
In a jewelry store, there were several out-of-place masks gathered in the corner, gathering dust.
Among them, there is a brown leather mask, which is very suitable for Jiang Yu.
The shopkeeper said that he made the masks to sell because many people had scars on their faces that they wanted to cover up, but no one bought them and they had to be placed in a corner to collect dust.
Seeing that Su Wan wanted it, the shopkeeper said he would give it to her at a lower price, just give her ten cents and she would be fine.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Yu, wanting to ask for his opinion. Jiang Yu didn't care. In fact, he quite liked the mask Su Wan made for her, but if she insisted on buying it, he wouldn't stop her.
“If you want to buy it, buy it!”
"It's you who wears it, not me, so of course I have to ask your opinion!" Su Wan retorted.
Jiang Yu was choked by her and was speechless.
"So do you like it?" Su Wan saw that he couldn't speak, so he asked him again.
"I like it, of course I don't like it!"
Jiang Yu felt that if she was willing to buy it for him, he would still like it very much.
In fact, it was not the first time for him to receive gifts from girls. Most of them were priceless, but he was calm inside.
But he was very happy to receive Su Wan's gift. He didn't know why. It was obviously a very ordinary gift, not worth anything at all. Maybe it was because the gift was small but the sentiment was great.
Su Wan quickly paid ten cents and handed him the mask.
"Put it on yourself, I won't help you anymore!"
After stuffing the mask into his hand, Su Wan turned around and left, fearing that he would make these unreasonable demands again.
Jiang Yu chuckled and stuffed the new mask into his clothes, not in a hurry to put it on.
The two of them left the city one after the other, and waited at Old Hongtou's place for a while. They only went back after everyone had arrived.
It was afternoon when I got home. Surprisingly, Su Chen, Su Yun and others had returned, and all the shaqi ma were sold out.
Su Wan was not surprised that Su Yun and his team were able to complete the task, because Su Yun was a social expert, but Su Chen's performance was what made him happiest.
"Wanwan, this is the money we earned from selling shaqima today!" Su Chen took out more than eight taels of silver, and Su Yun also had more than eight taels.
"Third brother is amazing. He sold out all the products on the first try!" Su Wan praised him generously.
Su Chen scratched his head embarrassedly:
"No, it's just that the folks are all very nice and supportive. I didn't do anything. Also, the dim sum that Wanwan makes is delicious."
He is quite humble, and after taking this step today, he doesn't seem so nervous anymore.
"Third brother, you are so humble!" Su Wan laughed with a smile on his face.
She later told everyone that she had received an order from the Huo family on the street.
When Su Yun heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that he was one step closer to leaving the restaurant.
"Tomorrow, the fourth and fifth brothers will continue to sell goods in other villages. As for the third brother, please stop for a few days. I want you to go and bring my parents back. Now that our family has a profitable business, there is no need for them to do hard labor outside. I want them to come back and rest."
Su Wan was worried about his father and mother and didn't want them to work so hard for a few taels of silver as a monthly salary.
Su Chen and the others didn't expect Su Wan to suddenly bring up this matter. After all, they themselves hadn't thought about it.
"Su Wan, why did you suddenly think of bringing your parents back?" Su Yun asked.
However, Su Wan had already thought of the wording:
"I think we can now afford to let my parents enjoy a good life, so there's no need for them to work so hard mining outside. They've worked so hard for so many years, it's time for them to enjoy a good life."
The brothers felt ashamed because they had not considered the suffering their parents were facing outside.
But Su Wan had only been back for a few months and had no emotional foundation with her parents, yet she had such awareness. How could they not feel ashamed?
However, Su Wan could not tell them her starting point. One reason was that her credibility was not high. If she directly said that Su's father would have an accident, her words would not be enough to prove her point and she would be regarded as sick.
Although it was a bit hypocritical, she herself had no feelings for Su's father and mother, and she did not deny that there was some pretense in it.
"You're right. I'll go pick up my parents tomorrow." Su Chen had made a decision.
Now that they can earn money, their parents no longer have to work in the mines, which is dangerous and hard work.
Taking advantage of the time now, Su Wan made the shaqi ma that Su Yun and the others would sell tomorrow. Her next market would be in seven days, so there was no rush. She could just get the order from the Huo Mansion out in two days.
The next morning, Su Chen set out for the mine before dawn. After breakfast at dawn, Su Yun and the others continued to go to different villages to sell shaqima. They made sixty servings yesterday afternoon, and hopefully they can sell them all today!
Only Su Wan and Jiang Yu were left at home. She hadn't gone to bed early for a while, so she stayed in bed for a long time until she woke up naturally.
When she got up, it was already bright. Su Yun had left her breakfast warm in the pot, but Jiang Yu was not at home either. No one knew where he had gone.
Su Wan ignored him. He had his own things to do and it would not be good to interfere too much.
At this time, Jiang Yu was wandering around the village wearing a mask. Everyone in the village knew that he was Su's cousin, so they didn't pay much attention to him, but there were still many people talking about him.
