Chapter 35 Checkout
My husband usually dotes on our daughter more than his three sons. If she is still beaten after all this, then she must have done something wrong.
Cheng Yingzhen looked at her daughter tenderly and reached out to hug her, "Ajin...what did you do to make your father angry?"
"It's all for you." Su Ruojin felt really aggrieved and cried.
For her? Cheng Yingzhen looked up at her husband, "Sir, is it for Auntie's matter?"
"no."
"That is..."
Su Yanli had no words to say. He snorted and said, "If you act lawless again next time, I'll beat you again." After that, he picked up his wife and hurried back to the bedroom.
Cheng Yingzhen wanted to ask more questions, but he was picked up sideways and walked out of the dining room in a few steps.
Su Ruojin had tears on her face:...
I was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food.
Her father proved with his actions that he only had her mother Cheng Yingzhen in his heart!
Isn't it that she has been worrying in vain?
Oh my god, Su Ruojin cried again! Who was she crying for?
Back in the bedroom, Cheng Yingzhen heard her daughter crying again and quickly pushed her husband, "Look how badly you beat the child. Go comfort her quickly..."
Su Yanli tucked his wife into bed, "She will have someone to take care of her from now on."
Cheng Yingzhen understood instantly and couldn't help but smiled with her hands covering her mouth. "Look at how you spoil your daughter. There won't be a good man like you to coax her in the future."
"If she doesn't have one, then she won't marry. I'll support her for the rest of her life." Su Yanli said harsh words, but he still turned around and went back to the dining room, standing at the door. "I can still take care of my aunt's affairs even if I don't go to the music studio."
Let’s see what else you, a little rascal, have to say in the future.
Hey!
Su Ruojin stopped crying and looked at his father in a daze.
Su Yanli straightened his body and said, "Auntie Dong, take her to rest." Then, he turned around with his hands behind his back and left proudly.
Wow, her dad is so handsome!
Although he was beaten, didn't he have a feeling of "trying to plant flowers but they don't bloom, but accidentally planting willows will grow into a forest"? Did it force his father to take action?
The two brothers of the Su family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their fierce father leave. They looked at the feather duster placed on the eight-immortals table. This thing had always been used by brothers to serve others, but they never expected that one day it would fall into the hands of Ajin (sister). It was really strange.
From beginning to end, Su Dalang only heard the word "beauty" and didn't understand anything else. He wanted to ask something but didn't know who to ask, so he simply kept it in his heart and didn't ask anything.
Su Sanlang was young and didn't understand. He felt sleepy and opened his mouth, "Uncle Shutong, I want to sleep."
Shu Tong, who had been watching the fun and laughing secretly, came in from the dining room door, picked up Su Sanlang with one hand and took Su Dalang to rest with the other hand. After settling them down, he had to go to the workshop to continue working.
Everyone left. Mother Dong shook her head and laughed. She came over to take the Second Lady’s hand and couldn’t help but tap her on the head. “If it were someone else’s house, you would have been spanked until your buttocks were bruised.”
Su Ruojin held Dong's mother's hand with one hand and covered her butt with the other. It didn't hurt at all. She was just shy. At heart, she was a young woman of twenty-five or twenty-six years old. To be spanked by a thirty-year-old man, she might as well find a piece of tofu to kill herself.
Within two days, there were indeed several shops selling hawthorns in front of Xiangguo Temple. Shu Tong's business was not so good, and he even had some leftover goods to bring back.
Shu Tong was so angry that he went to inquire in those shops. As expected, two of the grocery stores belonged to Mrs. Yao.
There are still several days to go before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! Shu Tong sat on the threshold of the workshop, holding his chin and sighing.
Feng Wangtian looked into the Su family's storage room and saw three or four sacks, weighing at least 300 kilograms.
Su Ruojin was not pessimistic at all. She waved at them and called them into the workshop and sat them down at the eight-immortal table. "Let's do the math. After that, I'll give you your commission."
The Feng family paid for the hawthorns by paying Su Ruojin to Uncle Feng as soon as the goods arrived.
In less than half an hour, Su Ruojin settled all the wages and commissions, including that of Dong's mother.
In addition to the 25 taels of capital from selling hawthorns, the Feng family's father and son earned another 30 taels, which is equivalent to each person earning 10 taels of silver in more than a month. The Feng family would have to save for two years without eating or drinking to save a net 10 taels of silver.
They got three tens of taels at once. The father and his two sons were so excited that their hands were shaking. They couldn't believe it, "Young lady, did you calculate wrongly?" Six years old, oh no, after the New Year, the young lady is seven years old, that is too young, could it be that they calculated wrongly?
Su Yanli sat at the head seat at the Eight Immortals Table, gentle, dignified, and steady, with the majesty of a teacher from the Imperial College fully displayed. His daughter might not be very good at reading and writing, but she was extremely gifted in arithmetic, even smarter than him, so how could she have made a mistake in her calculations?
He said slowly, "It can't be wrong."
If the senior officials say it can’t be wrong, then it must be right.
Feng Wangtian took his two sons and kowtowed to the host to thank him for his kindness. They kowtowed so hard that their schoolmate had a hard time pulling them up.
After nearly two months of contact, Su Ruojin felt that the Feng family was worth cooperating with and was willing to train them.
"Uncle Feng, when the farming season is not busy, you can ask Dashi and Ershi to come to the capital and learn calligraphy and accounting with us. This way, even if the business expands, we won't have to worry about being left in the dark."
If he were still digging the soil and cutting trees in the mountain village before, Feng Wangtian might not think there was any use in being literate. But after coming to Beijing and seeing the world, he no longer thought so. When the young lady said this, he happily agreed immediately.
What a great favor! The Feng family father and son kowtowed again and again.
The hawthorn business came to an end. Su Ruojin not only paid the Feng father and son their wages, but also bought a lot of things for them, calling it welfare.
Feng Wangtian didn't know how to repay his boss. When the mule cart had already left the alley, he turned back and asked, "Young lady, are you in need of a maid or a housewife to help you cook?"
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, civil servants of Dayin Dynasty started to work again. The breakfast stall should have been set up long ago, but it was three days late in order to grab the hawthorn slice business. If Mother Dong and Uncle Shutong set up the stall, the housework would be too busy, and there was indeed a shortage of people.
Two is best.
Su Ruojin nodded, "Uncle Feng, does anyone have a recommendation?"
"My eldest sister's daughter was married, but was divorced by her husband's family because she couldn't have children. My eldest sister's mother-in-law disliked her and beat and scolded her all day long. I felt sorry for her, and seeing that you, the boss, are so kind, I couldn't help but want to give this child a way out. I don't know..."
Relatives or not, divorce or not, it doesn't matter to Su Ruojin, "As long as you are diligent, honest and don't talk too much, come and give it a try."
"Don't worry, young lady. He is definitely hardworking, honest and quiet. If he is that bad, even if I am your daughter, I will not send him to the boss."
He still wants to keep clinging to his benefactor. If his niece is not good, he will not introduce her to him no matter how hard her life is.
Su Ruojin agreed to let him bring the person over to have a look. "Let me be frank with you. If you pass the trial, you can stay. If you fail, I won't give you face, Uncle Feng."
"Of course." Feng Wangtian agreed.
After the Feng family's father and son left, the Su family's yard suddenly felt much emptier. Shu Tong was not used to it. "How about, Second Madam, you use my monthly commission to buy a maid?"
