Chapter 105: Let’s Fight Together 1
Su Xiaoling closed the door with a smile and went over to eat.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao did not think much about her sudden return to her room. When they saw that Su Xiaoling had arrived, they asked her to sit down and eat.
After dinner, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao prepared to go to Chen Hu’s house.
Not long after they went over, Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu brought Chen Shi over to learn how to read with Su Xiaoling and the others.
At this moment, at Chen Hu’s house, Chen Hu and Madam Qian warmly welcomed Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.!!
Madam Qian went to get the popcorn she had made herself for Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to eat. She also went to pour hot water before sitting down beside Chen Hu.
Chen Hu smiled and said, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, this was just made this morning. Have a taste.”
Madam Qian was good at cooking and liked to tinker with some food. Since she couldn’t buy candies, she thought of ways to make some small things for her children to eat.
Two kilograms of corn could fill a bucket after making it into popcorn. It was used to relieve the hunger of the children in the family.
It could also be used for hospitality.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at each other and smiled.
Madam Zhao grabbed a handful of corn.
Su Sanlang said with a serious expression, “Hu, sister-in-law, we came here today to discuss something with you. This matter is about both our families.”
Su Sanlang recalled how he had tried to bring Su Chong and Su Hua to school at the beginning of the year but failed in the end. His heart turned cold.
Seeing Su Sanlang’s serious expression, Chen Hu immediately said seriously, “Big Brother, tell us what it is. As long as we can do it, our family will definitely not refuse.”
It was all thanks to Su Sanlang’s family that his family was where they were today. He and his wife were not ungrateful people.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian looked at each other. Chen Hu could not help but clench Madam Qian’s hand under the table. He knew that no matter what, this woman would definitely stand firmly by his side.
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu and Madam Qian and said, “Hu, I’m here today to discuss with you. Let’s go to town and do a business that specializes in selling sauerkraut and pickles. Let’s see if we can make some money. When the time comes, we’ll sell the property here and our families can leave together.”
“At the beginning of the year, I took Chong and Hua to school, but the teacher said that he wouldn’t teach the children of people like me who had no conscience. Only then did I realize that some things that we thought were the right choice were not accepted by the rest of the world. If we stay here, our children can’t go to school. In the future, when they become adults and it’s time for them to get married, I’m afraid only some families with bad character will agree.”
“If it comes to that, our children have to suffer even more, and the resistance we made back then would be pointless.”
Su Sanlang spoke his mind. He wished Chen Hu would go with him. With two families together, they could always make a head start.
When Chen Hu and Madam Qian heard Su Sanlang’s words, their thoughts were also complicated.
At this moment, Madam Zhao said, “Sister-in-law, your cooking is very good. When Sanlang went to town two days ago, he observed that no one was selling sauerkraut and pickles. Although this is a little risky, it is also a way out.”
“Let’s try to sell it during this period of time. If it sells well, we’ll make a new plan after the new year.”
Madam Zhao told her what she was planning. After eating Madam Qian’s pickles, Madam Zhao took it to heart when Su Xiaolu casually mentioned it. Later on, she also made pickles, but what she made tasted completely different from Madam Qian’s.
She had also used the ingredients used by Madam Qian, but it was still different. This proved that Madam Qian’s skills were irreplaceable.
Madam Zhao felt that it would definitely sell well. She did not know why she was so sure, but she had such a strong intuition.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian began to think. When the two of them heard Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s words, they also thought of the three children.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were only a year or two younger than Su Xiaoling. They would be discussing marriage in a few years. As parents, they naturally hoped that they would meet someone good.
Chen Shi was still young, but he would grow up eventually. What if the girl he liked later thought that what they did was bad and refused to give Chen Shi a chance?
Not to mention anything else, Chen Shi wouldn’t even have a chance to enroll in school.
As he thought about it, Chen Hu was willing to fight with Su Sanlang, he looked at Su Sanlang firmly and said, “Big Brother, for the sake of the children, my wife and I are also willing, but… we’re afraid that we will lose money if we don’t succeed.”
Madam Qian nodded and said, “The pickles I made are just some ordinary dishes that aren’t worth much. What if they don’t sell?”
The pickles were delicious, but one would be tired of eating them every day. What if they made a lot but couldn’t sell them?
Doing business was a difficult thing.
Madam Qian was not afraid of hardship. She was afraid that if she lost money in the end, it would bring a huge loss to Su Sanlang’s family.
Su Sanlang said, “As long as you’re willing to do it with us, my family will bear the losses. If we make money, our families will split it.”
Madam Zhao also nodded and said, “That’s right, Sister-in-law, we just need your skills.”
In this case, Chen Hu’s family would not suffer any losses.
Chen Hu felt his face heat up at the thought. Madam Qian was also a little embarrassed. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, that won’t do. How can it be like this? You’re taking the risks and I’m just using my skills. It’s not troublesome at all.”
Chen Hu also said in embarrassment, “That’s right. This is not tiring at all for us. If Big Brother and Sister-in-law want to do business, we should also support them. Just treat it as-”
Chen Hu was interrupted before he could finish.
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu and Madam Qian seriously and said, “Hu, Sister-in-law, this matter concerns the future of our two families. You can’t summarize it like this. Skills can’t be bought with money. Sister-in-law’s skills are the most important, so don’t say that you didn’t put in much effort.”
Su Sanlang had been to town many times in the past few years and had interacted with the Sun residence so many times. Sometimes, Sun Fu was extremely distressed about researching new dishes, so Su Sanlang had some new understanding of recipe skills.
He knew that culinary skills weren’t as easy as just simply cooking.
When a new dish came out, its recipe was worth a lot of money.
Madam Qian’s skills were a recipe in itself. She just didn’t realize that it was very valuable.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian did not have this consciousness. He knew, so he had to make it clear.
Su Sanlang’s serious tone left Chen Hu and Madam Qian speechless.
Madam Qian thought for a moment and did not know what to say after opening her mouth. She could only squeeze Chen Hu’s hand and give him a look that asked him to make the decision.
Chen Hu also thought about it seriously. He felt that what Su Sanlang said made sense. After receiving Madam Qian’s signal, Chen Hu did not say anything else. He looked firmly at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao and said, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, we are willing to do it together.”
