Chapter 74: Just Bravery!
Su Chen told her his parents' decision and planned to finish this month before coming back, which would be more responsible.
It was a positive choice, and Su Wan certainly had no right to question it. The mine wasn't about to collapse anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem if it was delayed for ten days or so.
Besides, he has already returned, what else can she say?
Su Chen walked for a whole day and had a few bites of food at the mine at noon. He was now used to eating the dishes at home and could not get used to the ones outside.
Su Wan left him a big bowl of meat, which Su Chen ate up in big mouthfuls, feeling very satisfied.
"Wanwan, have you prepared the shaqima for me to sell tomorrow?"
Su Chen was still thinking about the task Su Wan assigned to him.
"Third brother, you've been tired all day. Just take a day off tomorrow before going. Fourth brother and the others can go tomorrow."
"I'm not tired. I don't do anything at home. I don't know what to do!"
He has a very simple personality, a bit of a rough guy. Maybe it's because he learned martial arts, he does things in a big and bold way, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, he is just brave.
"No matter what, health comes first. Only when you have a good rest can you work more energetically."
No matter what he says, I have to rest at home for a day tomorrow.
It only takes a few days to run through the nearby villages, so it doesn’t matter if you arrive early or late.
Su Chen couldn't persuade her, so he could only do as she said and rest at home tomorrow.
Su Wan took out another three taels of silver and gave it to him:
"This is your reward for helping Fourth Brother earn money. It's considered your wages for helping him."
Su Chen didn't understand her operation:
"We are all family, what's yours and mine?"
"It's different. I gave Fourth Brother the idea because he wanted to save money to start a business. Now that everyone is helping him, we definitely can't do it for nothing!"
She separated the money from selling shaqima into different parts. All the expenses for raw materials, including their wages, were deducted from it, as well as all the profits. In the end, whatever money was earned belonged to Su Yun.
Su Yi also received a salary of three taels of silver. Although he did not do as much work as Su Chen, he accompanied him every day and also spent his time.
She also had to pay three taels of silver as her own wages, because she was also busy running around every day. They were all workers hired by Su Yun and had to be paid.
Su Yun himself said that there was no problem with it and that it was very fair. Su Yi also naturally accepted this setting and earned wages through his own labor.
Su Wan is really fair. He doesn't let Su Yun feel that all the money is earned easily, nor does he let other brothers who help him suffer in vain. This is more meaningful for growth.
After visiting the surrounding towns, Su Wan was ready to become a hands-off boss, and even setting up a stall at the county market, purchasing ingredients, and placing business orders would all be handled by Su Yun alone.
She no longer cares about how he spends money, how he buys, or how he signs orders. She lets him experience this process on his own and experience what it feels like to be a boss in advance.
I still have thirty taels left from selling soap. In a couple of days, when I go to the Huo Mansion to deliver the order, I will take the fifty pieces of hair soap to the grocery store.
This money was saved and used for daily expenses at home, and then given to Su's mother for safekeeping when she returned.
When the time comes, I will also order two sets of winter clothes for my parents so that the whole family can celebrate the New Year in a lively atmosphere.
When Su Chen heard that Su Yi accepted it, he had no choice but to accept it as well.
It was just the first time that he had so much money on him, and it felt a little unreal.
He never had any pocket money since he was a child because there were many children in his family and they lived a tight financial situation. Usually, when someone in the village came to sell candied haws, only his youngest sister would have the chance to eat them, and his older brother could only watch and give way to them sensibly.
"This is the first time I've earned any wages. I don't know what to do with all this money."
Su Wan felt distressed after hearing this. Three taels of silver was too much.
"That's just a small amount. If Fourth Brother's business is booming, you can get even more wages!"
"But I have so much money on me, and I don't know what to do with it." Su Chen scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
According to the original plot, he will join the army in the second half of next year. The wild tribes on the border will unite in uprising, and many nomadic peoples will be strong in both men and horses. There will be a tough battle to fight at that time.
After returning from the battlefield after three years, the third brother Su Chen became a mighty young general known throughout the world.
"Of course I'm saving it for getting married. Third brother, do you think you won't need a dowry to get married in the future?" Su Wan joked.
When it came to the topic of getting married, Su Chen's face turned red.
"Wanwan, you just laugh at me."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Starting a family and building a career are two of the most beautiful things in life. Third brother, have you thought about what kind of girl you want to marry in the future?"
In the original novel, except for the eldest brother who got married early and married a shrew, the other brothers were not given detailed explanations.
The story ends when the heroine reaches the pinnacle of her life and lives happily with the hero.
He only gave a brief explanation. Except for the fourth brother Su Yun, the other brothers had already married and had children, but no one knew whether their marriages were happy or not.
"I haven't thought about it yet!"
Su Chen continued to blush, and only when Su Wan asked him did he answer seriously. His reaction was very cute.
Su Yun and the others were tired after a few days and fell asleep in bed early, so they didn't know about the conversation between Su Wan and Su Chen.
The next morning he didn't have to work, so he slept in. When he got up, the fourth and fifth brothers had already gone out to sell goods.
Seeing that there was nothing to do and Shaqima would not be working until the afternoon, he naturally went to find his master.
When he came to the gate of Jiang Yunhe's yard and knocked on the door, he never thought that Jiang Yu was also inside when he opened the door.
The uncle and nephew were talking and did not deliberately avoid Su Chen.
"Master, Jiang Yu, do you know each other?"
Su Chen stood at the door and saw Jiang Yu sitting there, looking at him with a smile.
"I just found out yesterday that you are my uncle He's last disciple. How about it? Are you interested in sparring with me?"
They all learned martial arts from the same school, so there is nothing wrong with them exchanging ideas.
Su Chen looked at his master in confusion, and Jiang Yunhe had to explain to his apprentice:
"Jiang Yu is the son of an old friend of mine. We met by chance. The martial arts he learned are from the same family as the one I taught you. You two can spar with each other, but just enough is enough. This will also allow me to see what you two have learned over the years."
Su Chen seemed to understand only half of the situation, but he would not ask too much. If his master wanted to tell him the detailed reasons, he would naturally tell him.
It would certainly be inconvenient to just briefly mention it and explain it in detail.
Su Chen's sword was left with his master. Jiang Yu didn't bring his own sword, so he just picked one from his uncle He's collection.
The two of them were preparing to fight in the huge courtyard. Before they started, Jiang Yunhe specifically instructed:
"Everyone, be careful! Don't chop down these precious trees and flowers of mine! They are all famous products. If you destroy them, I will hold you accountable!"
