Liu Yinyin could not stop smiling when she spoke of that. Her face was full of satisfaction.
Su Binglan was also happy for her. “That’s good. You can see your parents on normal days now, and you’ll be able to know what’s going on with them.”
Su Binglan could understand how her sister-in-law felt. Although Liu Yinyin had married into the Su family and had two children, she was still a Su family member.
Still, Liu Yinyin would miss her parents. She could only be at ease when her familys living conditions were good. She would be even more at ease if she could see them daily. That kind of relief could improve one’s mental state.
She could only truly be at ease when she could constantly keep an eye on her family and know their situation.
Su Binglan said, “That’s good. When winter arrives, it will be too cold to eat outside. Everyone will choose to go into the shop to have a warm meal. No one wants to freeze outside.”
Liu Yinyin smiled. “Thanks to you teaching my mother and the others how to make duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings, their lives are improving.
“It’s a break period for farmers since they’ve harvested their crops in autumn.
Now my parents, eldest brother, and his wife are busy with the shop in town. They have to pay rent for their shop, but with a fixed location and more customers, my family can earn back the rent money.
“Furthermore, my parents no longer need to expose themselves to the elements outside or catch a cold.”
Su Binglan laughed. “I didn’t do much. It was your parents who were hard-working, so their days naturally became better. Still, it’s right to open a restaurant. Now they can work the whole day.
“Customers can come here for duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings at noon and evening. The more customers they serve, the more money they’ll earn.”
Liu Yinyin agreed with her sister-in-law. “That’s right. I said the same thing, but my parents couldn’t bear to rent the shop back then because one silver tael a month was a lot for them.
“Fortunately, the weather was good before, so they could set up a stall to sell duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings daily. After a long time, they made enough money, so my parents became willing to rent a shop.”
Liu Yinyin could not help but blabber on whenever she spoke to Su Binglan. That was because her sister-in-law would think of something and give her a few words of advice that benefited Liu Yinyin a lot.
Su Binglan looked around the shop and saw two people helping to entertain the customers.
“They’re new?” She asked lowly.
“Business is excellent now. Wenzhe and I are too busy, so we hired two people to help us,” Liu Yinyin nodded. “These two are my eldest uncle’s older brother and sister-in-law. They’re family, so we’re not worried about them helping. We’ve already agreed to pay them monthly salaries.”
Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe hired more people primarily because Su Binglan told them that she wanted the two to have time to run things properly.
The couple wanted to hire people but felt uncomfortable hiring people they were unfamiliar with. Moreover, they were doing well and wanted to help their relatives. After much consideration, Mr. Liu thought of hiring his brother.
Liu Yinyin knew her uncle’s family were honest people. Her brother and his wife were also straightforward and honest. Since they did not have anything to do at home, hiring them would help.
Su Binglan nodded. From her point of view, this was a small business, and Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe could just manage it. However, they would need the two new workers to help with the other things.
Su Binglan was apprehensive about hiring people she was unfamiliar with but felt at ease hiring her family members. Thus, she understood Liu Yinyin’s arrangement.
After talking for a while, Su Binglan took her things and left. Just as she walked out the door, he bumped into Feng Sisi, who was in the shop next door. She was Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law.
She was greeting the customers when she raised her head and saw Su Binglan. She was stunned and uttered, “It’s Miss Su.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Hello, Sisi.”
After confirming it was Su Binglan, Feng Sisi became more enthusiastic. “I haven’t seen you in a long time, Miss Su. Did you come over to check on us?
Feng Sisi approached Su Binglan as she spoke.
It had been a while since Su Binglan saw Feng Sisi. She noticed Feng Sisi had put on some weight and looked better and younger than before. Her skin was even fairer.
Su Binglan remembered going to the Liu family’s house in Willow Village to see Feng Sisi, who was skinny and dark-skinned then. However, it was typical for farmers to have tanned skin because they exposed themselves to the sun.
It seemed to Su Binglan that Feng Sisi had been eating better recently, and her skin had become more fair and delicate. After all, ones complexion and skin would improve with enough nutrition.
“I came to check things out. It’s been a long time since I last saw you. You’ve become more beautiful, Sisi,” Su Binglan said truthfully.
Feng Sisi felt embarrassed as she touched her face and said, “Oh, thank you for your compliment, Miss Su. I feel like I’ve put on some weight because I’ve been eating well recently. Still, thanks to you, our family is doing well now.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “I didn’t do anything. Thanks to you and Mrs. Liu, your lives have improved. You don’t have to be so formal with me next time.”
Feng Sisi nodded. “Okay, I won’t. Miss Su, aren’t you coming in to have a seat?”
“Unfortunately, no. I have to go to Blue Mountain Academy…” After chatting for a while longer, Su Binglan made her way to the academy.
Feng Sisi entered the shop and saw her mother-in-law serving vermicelli to a customer. Mrs. Liu looked back at Feng Sisi and asked worriedly, “Are you all right?”
“It’s nothing, Mother-in-law. I saw Miss Su and spoke to her for a while.”
Mrs. Liu’s hand paused. “Why didn’t you ask Miss Su to come inside for some duck blood vermicelli?”
“I did, but Miss Su said she’s going to Blue Mountain Academy, so I didn’t insist,” Feng Sisi continued embarrassedly, “Miss Su said I look more beautiful than before.”
Life for the Liu family was good, and they lived as one. Feng Sisi and Mrs. Liu got along much better, unlike before. Mrs. Liu was sometimes too severe when she was in charge of the household, and Feng Sisi was a little afraid of her.
However, Feng Sisi almost broke down when her husband, Liu Chengwen, got bitten by a venomous snake and almost died. In addition, the family’s life had improved exponentially after starting their business.
Hence, Mrs. Liu became much more lenient with her daughter-in-law, and Feng Sisi was willing to be closer to Mrs. Liu. The primary force for the family was that their business was booming.
Life was good, and everyone was in an excellent mood, so it was only natural that they became more harmonious.
Mrs. Liu looked at Feng Sisi and said, “Of course, you’re pretty. You were too skinny before, but it’s better now since you have more meat on your bones. Our family is thriving now. You and Chengwen can have another child and save enough money to send them to Blue Mountain Academy..”
