Chapter 88: A Professional Freeloader
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When they arrived in town, Su Li asked Sun Ming to send her to the Exquisite Pavilion first. The fragrant soap in her hand needed to be exchanged for money first. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to bring such a large pile of things.
Yue Ying was flipping through the account book when she heard the maidservant come in and report, “Manager, Ms. Su is here.”
Yue Ying closed the account book and turned her neck. Her body did not seem to be as good as before. Her neck could not take it after she spent some time looking at the account book.
“Invite her up for a cup of tea.”
Although Su Li had handed over the prescription, with her judgment of people, she felt that Su Li should have many ideas and a limitless future. If she couldn’t befriend such a person, she couldn’t become enemies with her!
“Okay.” The maidservant received the order and left.
Su Li handed 400 fragrant soaps to the shop assistant in charge of receiving the goods from the Exquisite Pavilion. After checking the goods and confirming that there were no problems, the accountant gave her 10 taels of silver.
“Ms. Su, here are ten taels of silver. Take a look.”
Su Li looked at the silver in front of her and said, “Please give me some change.”
It was easier to buy things in exchange for some change. He could not take out a tael of silver just to buy a small thing, right?
She was not a rich landlady. She might be beaten up if she was so high-profile!
The accountant knew Su Li. He knew that Su Li and Yue Ying had a good relationship, so he helped her exchange without a word. It had to be known that they were usually people who were extremely arrogant. It was rare for them to do things so straightforwardly.
“Thank you.” Su Li thanked him.
The accountant said, “Ms. Su, there’s no need to be so polite. It’s just a small matter.”
At this moment, the maidservant came downstairs.
“Ms. Su, my steward invites you.”
Su Li nodded at the accountant and followed the maid upstairs.
Yue Ying had already brewed tea. The moment Su Li entered, she called her to sit down.
“Sit down.”
Su Li did not stand on ceremony with her and sat opposite Yue Ying gracefully.
Yue Ying poured a cup of tea for Su Li. “Why haven’t I seen you coming over recently?”
In the past, Su Li would come over every few days, but she had not come over for quite a few days. To be honest, she still missed her.
Su Li smiled and explained, “I’ve been busy at home recently, so I can’t leave.”
Su Li did not say what exactly happened, and Yue Ying did not ask. She was not the kind of person who liked to dig into other people’s privacy.
The two of them chatted for a while.
Yue Ying brought the topic back to the new product. “I don’t know if you have anything else, but fragrant soap and soap are too simple. If you can make something novel, I think it will be very popular.”
If she wanted to earn money, it was never wrong to be more innovative. The fragrant soap was selling well now, but there would be a day when it would be saturated, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue it.
When Su Li heard Yue Ying’s words, she smiled in her heart. She knew that the person in front of her was different from others. Yue Ying was very ambitious.
“Manager Yue, you think too highly of me. I’m just an ordinary farmer’s wife.
How can I have so many creations? I was just lucky last time.”
Yue Ying knew that Su Li was not telling the truth. Her judgment of people had always been very accurate. She felt that Su Li definitely did not trust her enough now, so she was unwilling to show her ability in front of her.
Yue Ying said jokingly, “Ms. Su, you’re too humble. I think you must have a lot of ideas that you haven’t shown yet. Who knows, you might soar into the sky one day.”
Su Li smiled when she heard her words. She didn’t dare to think about becoming successful. She only wanted to be a landlady now. One that didn’t have to worry about having full meals daily.
Su Li said, “You think too highly of me. If I had that ability, I wouldn’t have come to sell fragrant soap.”
Yue Ying smiled and said, “Then if you have anything new in the future, feel free to send it over. The door of my Exquisite Pavilion will always be open.”
If she could get a few more recipes like the soap, she might be able to become a shopkeeper in a new shop next time.
Su Li smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll remember what Steward Yue said.”
At this moment, a maid came in to report that someone was looking for Yue
Ying.
“Ms. Su, take a seat first. I have something to deal with.”
Su Li also stood up. “I won’t sit. I happen to have something else to do.”
Hearing this, Yue Ying did not ask her to stay. She made an inviting gesture to Su Li. “Then I’ll send you off.”
At the top of the stairs, Su Li said with a smile, “You don’t have to send me down.”
Yue Ying nodded. “Take care.”
Su Li nodded at her and went downstairs.
Sun Ming leaned against the eaves of the car in boredom. When he saw Su Li,
he immediately sat up straight.
“Physician Su, are you done?”
“Mm, sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to wontons,” Su Li said.
“Physician Su…” Sun Ming wanted to refuse.
Sun Ming was speechless. He clearly didn’t mean that.
Passing by the bun shop, Su Li went down to buy two large meat buns.
Looking at the meat bun in front of him, Sun Ming rejected, “Physician Su, there’s really no need for that. Bring it back for the children to eat!” “Just eat it! I’ll buy for them when I get back.” Su Li stuffed the bun into his hand.
Sun Ming dryly smiled. “Thank you, Physician Su.”
He seemed to have really become a freeloader!
After eating and drinking their fill, Sun Ming and Su Li walked towards the Sun residence.
The Sun Family’s reception pavilion.
Guan Xiyue stood beside Old Madam Sun obediently. Old Madam Sun blew at the tea leaves in the teacup.
The maidservant who passed by the door did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would provoke Old Madam Sun and be punished. Guan Xiyue said in a low voice, “Mother, you can eat now.”
Old Madam Sun did not reply. The air seemed to be frozen.
“How many years have you been married?” Old Madam Sun finally spoke.
Guan Xiyue’s expression froze when she heard this. The corners of her lips twitched as she said, “It’s been ten years.”
In the blink of an eye, she had been married for ten years. It seemed like the wedding day was not long ago.
Old Madam Sun snorted. “Ten years? Even a hen knows how to lay eggs, right?”
Guan Xiyue’s face was pale. She bit her lower lip and held back the tears in her eyes to prevent them from falling.
“Physician Su’s medical skills are superb. Perhaps she can treat my illness.” Guan Xiyue said.
Old Madam Sun had a look of disdain on her face. “How many doctors have you seen and how much medicine have you taken? Why is there no effect at all?
Could it be that Physician Su has divine pills?”
Guan Xiyue said, “Mother, isn’t your dizziness…”
When Old Madam Sun heard her retort, the anger in her heart rose. “Shut up. How can you compare to me? Who do you think you are?”
Guan Xiyue took a deep breath and told herself not to care about this. She would just treat it as a gust of wind.
Old Madam Sun acted as if she didn’t see Guan Xiyue’s ugly expression and continued, “Your family can’t be childless. My maternal family has a niece who’s slightly younger than my son. I’ve seen that girl. She looks like a child -bearing person.”
“If we take her in, she’ll definitely be able to give birth to many children. At that time, she’ll give birth to a bunch of fat babies. The house will definitely be very lively.”
Old Madam Sun’s tone was filled with yearning for a grandson..
