Early in the morning, Su Nianxue sorted through the things in the room.
These items were all bought by Gu Yanbai before.
She picked out a can of pears, a bag of peanut brittle in a mesh bag, and a large slab of meat.
Knowing that Su Jianguo liked to smoke, Gu Yanbai specially bought him a carton of cigarettes from town.
Although buying cigarettes was a bit expensive, it was for Su Jianguo's personal use, so she had no objection.
She was a little unhappy about these foods, but it would be somewhat awkward not to bring any at all.
The two gave Gu Yanliu some instructions and then left.
Su Nianxue, dressed in a brand-new polyester shirt, black pants, and black cloth shoes, sat leisurely on the back of the bicycle.
She was still holding the gifts she had given to the Su family.
As soon as Wang Lanhua saw the two of them, she smiled and took the things from them, putting them into the house.
He had barely sat down when he eagerly said, "Nianxue, I heard you're doing business in town!"
“Yes, to do some small business.” Su Nianxue took a sip of water and said rather lukewarmly.
"You're just being modest; you're not telling us the truth."
I heard your business is booming; you must have made a lot of money these days.
Wang Lanhua didn't care much about her coldness, since their relationship hadn't been harmonious over the years anyway.
Su Nianxue's cold expression couldn't hide her interest in money.
"I made a little money, just enough to buy salt!" Su Nianxue replied casually.
Gu Yanbai glanced at them casually and decided to make himself a background figure.
He reiterated that these two were her family members, and how they got along was her business.
He only did what he was supposed to do as a son-in-law and didn't interfere in anything else, so as not to be blamed later.
Su Jianguo exhaled a smoke ring from his mouth and solemnly instructed, "We are farmers, and we should focus on farming."
If you have time, you can go to town to do some small business to supplement your family income.
But the work in the fields is the most important thing; we can't let the fields fall into disrepair because of that little bit of money.
He didn't think Su Nianxue could make any big money at all; at most, she could only earn some pocket money.
I'm afraid they won't realize the importance of this and will waste the land, then what will they eat to fill their stomachs later!
This brat is another...
well!
Thinking about all this made him anxious. He picked up his cigarette and took another deep drag.
"Our family's land..." Gu Yanbai wanted to tell him that he didn't plan to farm his family's land anymore.
Su Nianxue quickly gave him a wink. She knew Su Jianguo well; if he found out, she wouldn't be able to have a peaceful lunch today.
"What happened to your land?" Su Jianguo became interested as soon as the topic of land came up.
"It's alright, everything's fine. The peanuts in the field should be ripe in a few days."
"Once they're dried, I'll take them to town to sell, and that'll be another source of income," Su Nianxue quickly replied.
Seeing that Wang Lanhua had no intention of giving them pastries, the two children hurriedly went to her side and clamored for some.
Wang Lanhua was a little annoyed. "What are you eating? You're such a big kid now, why are you still so greedy?"
Those were things she planned to save to take back to her parents' home to make noodles.
When the two children saw that she wouldn't give it to them, they ran to Su Jianguo and begged him for it.
Although Su Jianguo looks stern, he loves his two sons very much.
"Why are you keeping these? Those things were originally meant for them by Nianxue."
He then said to the two children, "Go get it yourselves!"
The two children made a face at Wang Lanhua, then went straight into the adults' room and pulled out the bag of pastries.
Wang Lanhua's expression was rather unpleasant.
However, her status in the family has declined significantly these days, and she doesn't dare to argue with Su Jianguo.
She just chuckled dryly and said to the two children, "Hurry up and thank your older sister."
Your eldest sister is good at business now, and she loves you all the most. She'll definitely buy you lots of pastries from now on.
Su Nianxue didn't respond to her comment. What did the two children's cravings have to do with her? They weren't her children.
Seeing that there were only a few people in the room, Su Nianxue asked, "By the way, why haven't I seen Jiaojiao today?"
"Oh, Zhiguo made her a new dress and told her to go to town today to pick it up."
Wang Lanhua's face lights up with a smile whenever she talks about Wang Zhiguo; she is very satisfied with her tailor son-in-law.
"When did you buy the fabric? Was it that day..."
"Why buy anything? The material is naturally supplied by Zhiguo!"
Wang Lanhua was afraid that Su Nianxue would reveal that she had taken Su Jiaojiao to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy materials a few days ago, so she quickly interrupted her.
"Oh, really?" Su Nianxue raised an eyebrow and gave her a half-smile.
"Of course, Zhiguo is very good to our Jiaojiao. He has already sent someone to our house to propose marriage."
If it weren't for the fact that his family couldn't marry off two daughters in one year, he would have wanted to marry our Jiaojiao right away.
He's a good cook, and he even dresses his wife up nicely.
Although the two children are not married yet, they are engaged, so there's nothing wrong with accepting his clothes.
Wang Lanhua held her head high, her face full of self-righteousness.
Anyway, she wasn't lying this time; it really was Wang Zhiguo who came up with the information.
Ever since Su Jianguo learned that she had lent all her money to Fugui, he has kept a tight grip on the family's money.
Now she even has to ask him for money when she goes to the market.
She now has a serious sense of crisis and has realized that she can't spend all the money she has saved up.
She hadn't had to ask for money like this for many years.
