Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Xiaoju revealed a happy and sweet smile. She had been worrying about her brother and felt he had been so busy that he did not have ti to find himself a wife.
Previously, Du Xiaoshuan said nothing about finding a wife when his mother brought it up. His sister was also worried and did not know if she would get a sister-in-law.
In addition, Du Xiaoju would restrict her brother from seeing soone who was not good to him. She also feared that the person would mistreat their mother. Du Xiaoju had many concerns but still wanted her brother to be happy.
That was why she always told herself not to be selfish.
However, she began to understand the situation when she saw her brother’s and Li i’s appearances in each other’s presence. Du Xiaoju was thrilled, and her heart pounded.
She worked a lot with Li i and knew she had a good character and temperant. Li i was also hardworking and capable while being kind to her younger siblings.
She was exceptionally pure-hearted and even knew how to care for her family.
Du Xiaoju would be delighted if Li i were to beco her sister-in-law.
Since Li i and her siblings lived in Su Teng Village, it would be very convenient if Du Xiaoshuan could live there, too.
‘In the future, Big Brother can also settle down in Su Teng Village. Since he’ll be closer to , does that an I can live with him and Mother after work?’
Du Xiaoju had saved her salaries and bonuses and had initially planned to save her money for her mother. She was excited about going ho to her mother and brother to eat with them.
She hurriedly took the candied hawthorn and handed it to Li i, saying, “Take it and eat it, Li i. It’ll be a waste if you don’t. I can’t eat two alone, and my brother doesn’t enjoy it.
“Besides, it was more cost-effective for my brother to get two. He would’ve missed a good deal if he had only bought one. Take it quickly. You’d treat as a stranger if you didn’t eat it.
“You’ve always cared for , but I never know how to thank you. I’ll feel more at ease if you take the candied hawthorn. 0-0therwise, I’d be too embarrassed when you help again next ti.”
Du Xiaoju took Li i’s arm and stuffed the candied hawthorn in her hand.
Li i was too embarrassed to return it now, mainly because she could not refute Du Xiaoju’s words. Li i’s face was red hot as she held the treat. She lowered her head and dared not look up.
She felt her heart beating differently from usual and wondered what was wrong with her.
Du Xiaoshuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li i taking the treat. He was afraid she would not want it.
Then Du Xiaoju took the goods for her brother and said, “You have no idea how good Li i is, Big Brother. She has a good temperant and personality.
She even takes excellent care of .”
She felt she should try to put her brother and Li i together since Du
Xiaoshuan had good intentions and Li i had a good impression of him.
“So, you should bring us more delicious food next ti. Then I can enjoy the food with Li i.”
“All right. Don’t worry, Little Sister,” Du Xiaoshuan readily replied.
anwhile, Li i’s head remained lowered, and her face was still red hot. She returned to her senses when she heard her friend’s words before hurriedly waving around. “T-Theres no need for that.”
Du Xiaoju took Li i’s hand and said, “Li i, you think of as a little
sister, right? You don’t have to be so formal around .”
Li i’s mind went blank as her lips moved. However, she did not know what to say. She and Du Xiaoju were usually very talkative as they typically chatted while working, but Li i was not good with her words at this mont.
She only regained her senses when Du Xiaoshuan left. She was perplexed and thought, ‘Did I make a fool of myself just now?
Du Xiaoju told Li i, “Let’s eat these treats. They must be extra sweet since my brother bought them.”
Li i looked at the candied hawthorn and was too embarrassed to say anything more. Instead, she followed Du Xiaoju’s actions and ate the treat. Li i’s eyes lit up after taking a bite.
After all, she had not eaten candied hawthorns for a long ti. When she was younger, and her parents were still around, they would buy her such treats. She greatly missed those days and had wholeso mories of candied hawthorns.
It reminded her of the carefree and warm tis she had as a child. At that mont, she revealed a faint smile. However, she could not bear to eat anymore after having one piece from the skewer.
“Xiaoju, can I take the rest ho for my younger siblings?” She asked while looking at Du Xiaoju. She was also a little cautious while asking this question.
After all, she had received the candied hawthorn from Du Xiaoju’s brother, so it might be rude if she took so back. Still, Li i felt guilty as she could eat delicious food at the factory, but her younger siblings could not.
Du Xiaoju nodded. “Of course, you can. What my brother gives you is yours to do with as you please.”
She did not think anything was wrong with Li i being considerate of her younger siblings. Du Xiaoju i s mother had said she should try putting herself in other’s shoes, so Du Xiaoju could better understand Li i now.
‘I would be sad if my big brother ate good food and didn’t share it with . Even so, he always saved the best food for . He must feel the sa way as Li i in that regard.’
She heaved a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Du Xiaoju.
“Li i, you’ve cared for all this ti. You don’t have to thank , okay?” Du Xiaoju said smilingly.
Then the duo walked back into the factory while talking and laughing to continue their work.
Su Binglan saw everything when she arrived at the factory. Her expression changed, and a smile appeared on her face. She felt a sense of innocence when she saw Du Xiaoshuan and Li i’s interactions.
‘The people of this era are so reserved.’
She did not let them notice she was there and snuck into the factory.
anwhile, Shen Qiuhua feigned innocence when she saw her daughter. “Binglan, you’re back from town, huh?”
“Yes, Mother. I ca to discuss stinky tofu with you.”
Shen Qiuhua imdiately nodded. “Oh, you want to start making and selling stinky tofu, right?”
Su Binglan had ntioned this before, and her mother thought she would have already arranged for it.
However, Su Binglan never ntioned it again and seed busy, so Shen Qiuhua avoided bothering her daughter. Instead, Shen Qiuhua managed the factory’s affairs one step at a ti.
Su Binglan nodded. “We’ll use one of our factory’s rooms to make stinky tofu from tomorrow onward.”
The vast factory had several significant sections, so she planned to use one section to make stinky tofu.
Shen Qiuhua asked with so concern, “Does that an the entire factory will sll like stinky tofu?”
‘Stinky tofu is delicious but doesn’t sll good. Would others be willing to sll it since they’re working inside?’
Su Binglan explained, “You don’t have to worry about that, Mother. The process is the sa as making regular tofu, so it won’t sll. The sll will only co after we’ve fired it and added so spices to flavor it..”
