Xiao Li pushed the red envelope back, saying, "You should take this money back! I really don't know who the apple supplier is or where the goods come from. The boss handles all these things."
The middle-aged man stuffed the red envelope into her hand again; "Here's what we'll do, take this money. Could you help me find out where your boss gets his stock? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, and I won't compete with your boss for business. I just want to buy a few more for my father at home."
The man spoke in a very low voice.
Xiao Li really wanted to take it, but then he thought of Su Li.
She quickly calmed down. If she really took the money and Su Li found out, she could forget about getting her job.
She found a sense of self-worth while working here.
Her parents no longer favored boys over girls as they used to, and even her relatives now treat her with much more respect.
And before, every time her mother asked a matchmaker to find her a husband, she had to be subservient to them.
But now it's the other way around. To put it narcissistically, matchmakers are practically wearing down her doorstep, and even her younger brother has become a hot commodity.
All of this is because Su Li chose her back then, which is why she has all of this.
She asked herself if she was really willing to give up such a good job for a little bit of immediate benefit.
After figuring out all the complexities in her mind, she resolutely returned the money once again.
After thinking it over, she decided she couldn't accept the money.
"Comrade, I really can't accept this money. Our supermarket can't do this kind of thing. You should keep it yourself!"
When the man saw that she still refused to accept it, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
This girl is really ungrateful. The man shook his hand and said angrily, "She really doesn't know what's good for her."
Then he turned and walked outside.
Gu Huanian stood outside and listened for a while. Although the man did not succeed, he did not relax.
He hadn't really suspected anything about Su Li's fruit before.
When he was hospitalized in the military a couple of days ago, a high-ranking official from Sanlian, who was on good terms with him, said that someone from higher up had inquired about the fruit at Limin Supermarket.
At the time, he thought it was because the fruit in Su Li's shop was delicious that the person inquired about it.
But he said, "You know that newly opened supermarket, right? They say the fruit there can cure diseases."
Gu Ahua was indeed shocked at the time, and he immediately retorted, "What you're saying is too outrageous. If such a fruit existed, do you think people would sell it?"
"You shouldn't say things like that in the future, it's easy to cause trouble for others."
"I could keep quiet, but the higher-ups have already noticed. Chief of Staff Zhen's youngest son has been bedridden for years, you know that, right? He's the one who's been inquiring about it."
After hearing this, Gu Huanian remained silent for a long time.
They were all very familiar with Chief of Staff Zhen's wife.
The reason is that she really wants her youngest son to get better.
She likes to try anything, no matter what she hears, and she has done a lot for her son over the years.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're somewhat mad.
This is also why Gu Huanian specifically reminded Su Li last time.
During this period, Gu Huanian didn't come over much, and her mood was unusually calm. On this day, Su Li was at home taking a nap while holding her baby.
Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She had just gotten out of bed when her child woke up.
She went to open the door with the child in her arms and saw Gou Sheng and Lu Huai standing outside.
Su Li looked Gou Sheng up and down; he had grown taller and more handsome.
"elder sister"
Gousheng hasn't seen his sister for a year, and he never imagined that his sister already has a child.
He suddenly became a little reserved.
"Gou Sheng Lu Huai, you're here. Come in quickly."
Lu Huai patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder and laughed, "Relax a little, act like a man."
Gou Sheng nodded.
During that year, Su Li would occasionally correspond with Gou Sheng and send him money.
I know he's doing well academically now. At fifteen years old, he hadn't been to school for many years, but he's already skipped a grade and is in the second year of junior high.
His grades were consistently ranked first in the entire school, and even Su Li had to admire his intelligence.
No wonder he's destined to be the richest man in the future; his academic performance is already so outstanding. Who knows how far he'll go in the future?
Both of them had just gotten off the train and were covered in dust from their journey. Su Li had originally planned to make them each a bowl of noodles.
Lu Huai stopped her, saying, "Su Li, I've brought Gou Sheng over. I can't stay here any longer; I need to go home and check on things."
Su Li took out a package she had prepared beforehand from the room and handed it to Lu Huai; "Inside are some clothes that I made myself for Hu Zi and Ya Ya. Please take them to them for me."
Lu Huai accepted it with a smile.
Gou Sheng looked at the package with a hint of envy in his eyes; the clothes his sister had made for him were no longer fit.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions.
After Lu Huai left, Su Li took out another package and handed it to Gou Sheng, saying, "Here, this is for you. You just got off the train, so I'll take you to the shower room. You can wash up and rest for a bit. I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
Gou Sheng laughed. So he had one too! That's great! He replied with a smile, "I'll do whatever you say, sister."
Gou Sheng went into the bathroom and opened the package. Inside were clothes, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a toothbrush cup, and a towel, all brand new.
He was somewhat moved. Although he had spent the year in the countryside, he was still someone many of his friends envied.
His sister would send him things and money from time to time. The brigade leader and others always told him that when he grew up, he must never forget the kindness of Su, the educated youth. To be honest, what she did was much better than some parents.
