Chapter 319 Destiny
As April approached, the weather was getting warmer and warmer. People didn't need to wear thick clothes in the morning and evening. Su Ruojin couldn't help wanting to go to the vegetable fields in Xishan. Before leaving, she went to the Yang sisters' home and asked them if they wanted to go to Xishan for a trip.
Madam Yang was a little hesitant. Firstly, she had three children and she felt embarrassed to trouble others when she was away from home. Secondly, she wanted to take good care of her health so that she could take over the shop for Su Ruojin. However, she had been in Weizhou County for nearly a month and Su Erniang had not mentioned anything about the shop at all.
Su Erniang was responsible for all the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, but she didn't give her any work to do, which made Yang Biyun very anxious.
"Ah Jin, I wanted to come look for you. You happened to be here today, so I'll ask you, is the shop ready? When can I..."
Yang Si Niang also looked at Su Ruojin.
At that time, Su Ruojin did want Madam Yang to be the manager of her shop, but now she changed her mind. Seeing that the two Yang sisters were looking at her attentively, she smiled slightly and said, "Then let's talk about the shop today."
Everyone went into the house and sat down.
The maid Yancao brought tea for everyone to drink.
Yancao was the maid that Ning Qillang found for Yang Siniang. Her grandmother, Mrs. Huang, also came to Weizhou.
The small courtyard was home to the two Yang sisters, three children, two maids, and a woman-servant. There was no man in the family, so Ning Qillang transferred a retired bodyguard to the Yang family courtyard to guard the house. With Su Ruojin's father being the county magistrate outside and Ning Qillang's retired bodyguards inside, no one dared to bully the Yang sisters under normal circumstances.
Su Ruojin did not beat around the bush. She smiled and said to Madam Yang, "Sister Yun, let's do this. I will cooperate with you the same way I cooperated with Aunt Yang before."
"Cooperation?" Aunt Yang is not a know-nothing young lady in the boudoir. On the contrary, she was trained by her mother to be the mistress of the house, so she knows everything. Cooperation requires money. She is penniless now, so what can she cooperate with?
Su Ruojin nodded, "Summer is coming soon. Weizhou County is under my father's governance. I can't say it's very good, but people have a stable life and some extra money. It wouldn't be bad to open a cold drink or milk tea shop here."
Hearing about the milk tea shop, Yang Si Niang couldn't help feeling sad. She used to cooperate with A Jin, and her mother said that she would marry her as a dowry. But because of her father's incident, the milk tea business was stopped and the shop was sold at a low price. It had long become a thing of the past. She didn't expect A Jin to mention the milk tea shop again today.
"But I don't have a penny in my pocket, how can I cooperate?"
"I'll lend it to you." Su Ruojin said with a smile, "The whole shop will be divided into three parts, Sister Yun will take 40%, A Rong will take 40%, and I will take 20%."
“No, no…” Madam Yang waved her hands quickly, “No, no, Ah Jin, you take 60%, Ah Rong and I take 20% each.”
If it wasn't for the purpose of not putting psychological pressure on her sisters, Su Ruojin didn't want to get involved in the business. Her idea was 'it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish', so that they would have the financial foundation to start their own business. As for how they could develop the shop in the future, that would depend on themselves.
Su Ruojin waved at them and told the two sisters her thoughts one by one.
The three women sat for quite a while and finally agreed on everything.
Finally, Su Ruojin stood up and said with a smile, "In a word, come with me to Xishan Farmhouse to play for a few days, and after you come back, we will officially open for business."
Su Erniang had considered it so thoroughly that Madam Yang no longer refused. She did not thank him for the great favor. Since she could not repay Ajin's kindness, she asked her son and daughter to continue to repay it. She believed that they could always repay it.
After the appointment, everyone agreed on the departure time for tomorrow.
"It's early summer and it's not too hot or too cold. Let's go have some fun."
The two children were also happy when they heard about playing. They stood in the corridor hand in hand and kept smiling at Su Ruojin. Their lives have been better since they met this aunt. One was five years old and the other was three years old. The two little kids also knew who was a good person and who was a bad person.
The little boy, who was almost two years old, had to hold on to the porch column to stand half a month ago, but now he can stand without support.
The sun was shining, the flowers were fragrant, and a butterfly flew over, causing the little boy to point at it and shout, "Mother...mother...butterfly!"
Everyone looked towards the small flower bed by the wall. There were beautiful butterflies resting on the petals, flapping their wings. In the sunlight, it was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off it.
After leaving the Yang sisters, Su Ruojin passed by Shangguan Yu's house. After thinking for a while, she turned and went into his house. Ah Qiu opened the door and was delighted to see her: "Second Lady Su...my master is having dinner, please come in and sit down to eat together."
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "I'm not going to eat. I'm just passing by and wanted to ask if Master Shangguan is free to go out for fun?"
Shangguan Yu had already heard her voice and came out from the dining room, "Ajin——"
Su Ruojin looked at Zhong Wanhui who followed Shangguan Yu out. She didn't say a word, just looked at him, just like a normal person. In fact, because she was born into wealth, she was well-dressed. Standing in the corridor, she looked round and delicate, like the most delicate flower kept in a magnificent house.
In March and April, Shangguan Yu, who loves painting, really needs to go out. Just now, he heard Su Ruojin's words in the room and of course agreed, "When?"
"We are going to set off tomorrow." Su Ruojin said with a smile, "But there are other people, do you mind?"
The courtyards of the Yang sisters are in another alley, and Su Ruojin chose one on purpose because it is close. In the future, when Madam Yang's three children go to school, it would save a lot of trouble if her husband's house is close. Shangguan Yu is a gentle and upright person, and she secretly hopes that he can take care of the Yang children.
"Of course, it's more fun when there are more people." Shangguan Yu is an easy-going and easy-going person.
Su Ruojin smiled slightly.
Shangguan Yu saw her eyes falling on Zhong Wanhui and smiled, "Ah Hui doesn't like to greet people, I hope Ah Jin doesn't mind."
Su Ruojin shook her head. Of course she didn't mind. Zhong Wanhui was lucky to have met a gentle and elegant man like Shangguan Yu. Even if there was no love, his sense of responsibility would allow her to stand behind him without worries for the rest of her life.
"Then it's settled." Seeing Shangguan Yu's brows relaxed and his whole body in good spirits, he knew that he had unknowingly accepted this mentally retarded young lady.
Su Ruojin felt much more relaxed now that she had not caused any trouble to his life, and she turned around and left Shangguan's house.
Qiushan came over and saw the young lady off.
Shangguan Yu turned his head and smiled slightly, and the young lady understood his smile, raised her foot, followed him, and saw the guests out together.
In just two steps, they were walking shoulder to shoulder towards the gate of the courtyard.
When Su Ruojin stepped out of the door, she turned around and politely asked them not to see her off, and then she saw the gentle young man and the cute young lady smiling at the same time.
A down-and-out rich boy who has experienced all the bitterness of the world, a rich girl who has fine clothes and delicious food but low intelligence; a teacher who may never want anyone to know his past, a simple girl who may never understand the sufferings of the world; two straight lines that obviously would not intersect, but by accident, brought them together, maybe, this is the destiny!
