Chapter 124: Division Of Labor 2

Madam Qian also said, “Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, regarding pickled vegetables and sauerkraut, they are commonly used as cold and stewed vegetables. However, I also use them to make a few other dishes. Most people don’t make them like that. Some people know about it, but they don’t know how to make it.”

Madam Qian wanted to tell Madam Zhao everything she knew.

Madam Zhao hurriedly smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, even if you tell me, I can’t make it either. It’s fine as long as you know how to do it. When there’s a need, just use them all.”

Madam Qian stopped talking and nodded with an embarrassed smile.

When the time came, she would definitely perform well and make every dish the best she could.

“Okay, that settles it. We’ve got sauerkraut and pickles to sell tomorrow. Let’s all get an early night.”

Su Sanlang smiled and said. Then, he got up and went out with Madam Zhao.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian stood up to send Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao back. They also called Chen Daniu, Chen Erniu, and Chen Shi home.

After returning home, Chen Hu remembered that he had forgotten to look for Su Xiaolu. Tomorrow, Su Xiaolu will be going to the Sun residence again. He could only wait for her to come back three days later.

It was already dark. Everyone went home and went to bed early.

Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu slept together. The two sisters slept next to each other and warmed each other.

“It’s all thanks to you, Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaoling spoke. She felt grateful for everything that had happened today.

Su Xiaolu was sleeping against Su Xiaoling. She smiled and said, “What are you thanking me for? We’re family.”

Tomorrow, she would return to the Sun residence to give Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian acupuncture.

She didn’t have time to take care of the family business. She just helped find a direction for them, and it was her family who had to work hard for it.

Everyone in the family was working hard to move forward. She was also part of the family, so she naturally should advance and retreat with the family.

She thought about how her brothers were focused on studying and she herself studied medicine, but what about her third sister?

Su Xiaolu hugged Su Xiaoling and asked softly, “Sister, what do you want to do the most?”

In this family, Su Xiaoling was the type to silently do a lot, so she was very sensible. It was precisely because of the fact that she was too sensible that she never asked for anything and only gave.

Perhaps there was something she wanted to do but had not done for the sake of the family.

Now that her family no longer needed her selfless devotion, whatever dreams she had could be realized.

Su Xiaolu’s question stunned Su Xiaoling. For a moment, she did not know how to answer Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu hugged Su Xiaoling’s arm and whispered, “Sister, tell me.”

Su Xiaoling listened to Su Xiaolu wheedling. She stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair helplessly and said gently, “Xiaolu, I don’t know what I want to do, so I don’t know how to answer you.”

Was there anything she wanted to do? She didn’t know.

When she first gained consciousness, what she wanted most was for Su Yufang to stop liking a certain piece of clothing. If Su Yufang stopped liking it, she could pick it up and wear it.

She also hoped that her grandmother, Madam Wang, would be in a good mood. This way, her family would have an extra spoonful of rice to eat.

She wanted winter to pass quickly so that Madam Zhao wouldn’t have to keep suppressing her coughing at night.

Later, after leaving that home, she’d hoped never to go hungry or cold again, and these past few years, while it was tough, the family would be well fed and warm.

Now that her eldest brother and second brother had also entered the school and her parents were in good health and they had a shop, she hoped that the shop’s business could continue to be good.

But regarding herself, Su Xiaoling really didn’t know what she wanted to do the most.

For a moment, there was silence. Su Xiaoling thought that Su Xiaolu was just asking out of curiosity and might be bored.

But suddenly, Su Xiaolu rubbed her arm and said sweetly, “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t thought about it yet. Sister, take your time to think about it. I can make a lot of money. I can help you realize any dream you have.”

“I like you guys so much. That’s why everyone in the family has to be happy. Hm… so sleepy. Sis, I’m going to bed.”

Su Xiaolu yawned and soon fell asleep.

In the quiet night, Su Xiaoling shed tears. She was smiling. She reached out and gently stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair and pinched her little face.

After a while, listening to Su Xiaolu’s shallow breathing, Su Xiaoling whispered, “Although I don’t know what I want to do now, I don’t care even if I don’t learn anything. I’m already very happy.”

Her current life was the life she had dreamed of.

She would take good care of her family. In a few years, her parents would also find a good family for her to marry into.

Su Xiaoling gently kissed Su Xiaolu’s forehead.

Not thinking about so many things, she quickly fell asleep, too.

At first light the next day, Su Sanlang got up and went to Chen Hu’s house to pack up the sauerkraut and pickles for sale today.

Madam Zhao was making breakfast at home.

When Madam Zhao finished cooking, Su Sanlang, Chen Hu and Madam Qian had also packed up.

Before leaving, Madam Zhao gently said to Zhou Heng, “Brother Heng, lunch is warm in the pot. Eat it if you’re hungry.”

Zhou Heng nodded. “Okay, I’ll remember it. Be careful and everything will go smoothly.”

“Goodbye, Little Brother Heng.”

Su Chong and Su Hua waved at Zhou Heng.

Su Xiaoling smiled and waved back.

Su Xiaolu leaned on Su Chong’s back and waved with a sweet smile. “Goodbye, Big Brother Zhou Heng.”

Zhou Heng smiled back.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao carried baskets on their backs. The other basket weighed 30 catties. Su Hua carried it.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian did not go with them, while Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu went together.

Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu walked together with Su Xiaoling and asked her in a low voice what they should do today.

Su Xiaoling told them patiently.

Just like that, they slowly reached the town. Su Sanlang paid for entry.

Su Chong and Su Hua went to school.

Su Xiaolu arrived at the shop and watched them place the things and open the shop. She smiled and said, “Father, mother, I’ll go to the Sun residence then.”

Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. “Let your father send you there.”

Su Sanlang was also preparing to send Su Xiaolu to Sun residence.

Su Xiaolu shouted at Old Wu not far away, “Master, here, here.”

Old Wu shuddered and wanted to turn around and leave.

The brat was getting bolder.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao had not seen Old Wu at first, but they did now.

Su Sanlang was already walking towards Old Wu with a smile. He smiled warmly and said, “Big Brother is here.”

Old Wu was expressionless as he walked over with his hands behind his back. He grunted faintly.

He walked over to Su Xiaolu and tugged at her hair.

Old Wu looked at the clean and tidy shop and said calmly, “Well done.”

“I’ll come and fetch the lass. You two go about your business.”

With that, Old Wu left with Su Xiaolu.

“Uncle-Master, take care.”

Su Xiaoling sent him off with a smile.

Old Man Wu stopped in his tracks. Then, he heard Su Xiaoling shouting, “Come and take a look…”
