Chapter 340: Silence Is Better Than Words

The silver Su Binglan held also included a portion her parents had earned from the tofu factory.

As for the profits from the hotpot restaurant, she would leave them with her third brother, Su Wenwu, for the time being. After all, Su Binglan would have a lot more when she finished the monthly accounting.

She planned to give them all to Luo Jin’an. Su Binglan was not stingy and felt she should put the money she earned to good use.

Luo Jin’an watched as Su Binglan removed all the silver from the box and gave it to him. He felt touched, and his heart softened. He looked at his wife’s expression and felt a warmth go through his heart.

If this girl wanted the stars, he would pluck them from the sky and give them to her just to make her happy.

“You’ve worked so hard to earn these,” Luo Jin’an said gently, “Just keep them.” Su Binglan blinked. “But you have a lot of things to do, and you’ll need money.”

Luo Jin’an sighed softly and said gently, “I have some silver too. The Wei family left it to me in the past. Don’t worry.”

After all, that was Su Binglan’s hard-earned money, and Luo Jin’an could not bear to use it for himself.

Su Binglan looked at his severe and stubborn expression. She could only put the silver back into the box.

“I can still earn more. If you need money, just tell me, and I’ll give it to you,” Su Binglansaid. Her words were true, and she wanted to be good to her husband.

She just wanted to help him, and that night, Su Binglan found a new target. She knew what she would do and the meaning behind her actions. She suddenly felt her body become energized again.

She had to earn much more money and do many meaningful things. She had to be able to help Luo Jin’an. She also wanted him to be able to revive the Wei family’s army.

Her blood started to boil just thinking about it. She did not feel even a little bit sleepy at that moment.

Meanwhile, Luo Jin’an’s heart was warm because Su Binglan was by his side.

He felt what it meant to be alive. It was not to live for others or their responsibilities but to bring meaning to his and his wife’s lives.

Luo Jin’an reached out and gently hugged Su Binglan. He had many things to say but did not know how. He could only express himself with a hug.

The couple hugged each other quietly. At this moment, silence was better than words.

The two lay on the same brick bed that night but did not feel uncomfortable. It was as if this was how it should be.

The couple peacefully slept even though it was very late.

The following day, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an got up early. During breakfast, the family sat around the table and discussed the payment for the tofu factory workers.

Shen Qiuhua felt it was all worth it. “Today is a happy day. I’m sure everyone would be happy if they knew they would get paid today.

“You should know that the atmosphere at the factory is excellent. Everyone is working very hard. They even talk and laugh together on their breaks. It’s so lively.”

“More and more people are placing orders at our factory,” Su Fengmao added, “We’re so busy, but many people said they would make an appointment and come to the factory to pick up their goods themselves so that we won’t have to deliver them.

“Foreign businessmen also came to discuss deals with us. They want us to ship our tofu products to other places too, but it’s so far away and troublesome.

“Plus, shipping costs will be much more expensive if we want to sell our products elsewhere. Will anyone buy our products if the prices are high?”

Su Wenzhe was thrilled to hear that many people were ordering tofu products. He said, “Father, you’re always so worried. Do you know how popular our tofu products are? You know how delicious our products are.

“Our tofu skin is so cheap, and people can cook many meals at home. It’s also nutritious. It won’t be that expensive even if we sell it elsewhere. There are so many rich people, and they can afford our tofu products.”

“That’s right,” Shen Qiuhua agreed, ‘Even if it’s expensive, they still make money. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come here to order products from us.

“There’s also the fermented bean curd. It’s delicious, cheap, and has a long shelf life. We can make a lot of money selling it elsewhere.

If you sell it outside, you can make a lot of money. Dried and sliced tofu and fermented bean curd are very popular too.”

Su Binglan was delighted to hear that. After all, good business meant more money.

“Father, have you been too busy recently?”

Su Fengmao shook his head. “I’m busy, but I’m not tired. I’m full of energy. You don’t know this, but everyone came to me to order tofu products. They were very polite and were practically begging me for them.

“Of course, I won’t put on airs. Let’s seriously discuss business and cooperation with others. The contract Binglan gave me is more useful. I just need to sign and write the date on it, and I have Luo Kang to help me. We can handle it.”

Qiu He was now working as Shen Qiuhua’s assistant, and Luo Kang helped Su Fengmao.

That was because Su Binglan felt terrible for her parents and feared they would be too exhausted. Since Shen Qiuhua and her husband had people by their side to help them run errands, the older couple could feel more relaxed.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Father, Mother, give me contracts and the account books after breakfast. I’ll check them carefully and pay our workers today.”

Shen Qiuhua said, “Okay, I’ll take the profits from the tofu factory and hand them to you later.”

Shen Qiuhua now felt that every day was fulfilling and meaningful. In the past, she dared not even imagine becoming a manager by following her daughter.

On the other hand, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin felt apologetic.

“Binglan, you’re doing a lot of work for the tofu factory, but we’re getting the majority of the pay,” Liu Yinyin said.

Su Binglan said, “My parents will manage whatever you earn anyway. It’s all the same. We’re one family, so don’t be calculative about this. Besides, I won’t care about the rest when everything gets on the right track. You and Big Brother will be in charge.”

Liu Yinyin felt a warmth in her heart whenever she heard her younger sister-in-law speak. Liu Yinyin did not know how to express her gratitude and thought she would be too polite if she said thank you.

“Your big brother and I are also considering hiring someone to make sesame buns and haggis soup. Then Wenzhe and I will have more free time, and we can just manage things. We can’t always rely on you for everything.”

Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe worried that Su Binglan would exhaust herself.

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, then you and Big Brother won’t have to be so busy all the time. Of course, you can hire someone to make the sesame buns and haggis soup. Still, you must hire a trustworthy person and sign a confidentiality agreement.”

“Yup,” Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully, “We’re only worried about the sesame buns and haggis soup recipes falling into the hands of others. That’s why your big brother and I haven’t hired anyone yet. Nonetheless, we can’t keep doing this, so your brother and I have been considering who to hire.”

The Su family had grown accustomed to discussing matters together during mealtimes.

Furthermore, Su Binglan was used to explaining things clearly. As time passed, Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe learned a lot and knew what they should consider when doing things..
