Novel Full Chapter 77 - 77 This Was Talent
77 This Was Talent
Li Shi and Zhou Shan also came from low-income families. They often only had one full meal and were not used to having breakfast, so they did not expect their boss to give them the tofu.
The two looked at Su Binglan gratefully. Their lips trembled as they were at a loss for words.
...Lin Zheng was the first to collect his thoughts and said, “Boss, this is too expensive. We can’t take this.”
Seeing Lin Zheng speak, the other two also followed suit.
“He’s right, Boss. We can’t accept this.”
The trio had more than a pound of tofu in their hands, which cost quite a lot of money. They had only helped a little, and it was because of last night’s matter that they had gone to help Su Binglan.
Their boss gave them the tofu, but they felt bad taking it.
Su Binglan said, “Take it. You guys called me boss and helped me with the stall, so I won’t mistreat you. The tofu is still fresh, so take it home and eat it to gain some nutrition. Don’t argue, all right?”
Since SU Binglan said so, the trio could not refuse. They were very grateful and even thought of ushering Su Binglan home. Still, she told them to go home and rest because she would ask them for help again when she reopened her stall at night.
She would return to the market at night to sell more candied chestnuts.
Fewer stalls would open when the weather was cold. Therefore, Su Binglan thought she could earn more money since it was autumn.
Meanwhile, winter was nearing, and Luo Jin’an needed to take better care of his body.
Su Binglan’s mind was full of business ideas and thoughts of making money to become wealthy.
Liu Yinyin held the money bag in her hand when she excitedly handed it to Su Binglan and said, “Binglan, we’ve earned three hundred and forty-eight coins this morning!”
Su Binglan looked at Liu Yinyin’s happy face, and a bright smile appeared on her’s. She felt good living like this because it filled her family with joy and hope, which made her heart at ease.
“Did you count the money just now?” Su Binglan realized Liu Yinyin was pretty talented in accounting.
“N-No, I remembered how much each person gave me when they bought the tofu,” Liu Yinyin replied.
Su Binglan’s expression changed as she looked at her sister-in-law profoundly.
Liu Yinyin was nervous under Su Binglan’s gaze. “D-Did I say something wrong, Sister-in-law?”
Liu Yinyin was still a little nervous when faced with Su Binglan, significantly when Su Binglan’s expression changed. Liu Yinyin wondered if she had offended Su Binglan.
Su Binglan patted Liu Yinyin’s shoulder and looked at her encouragingly. “Sister-in-law, we are a family. You can speak your mind. Don’t worry about saying the wrong things.
“I only discovered you have a talent for accounting and doing business because you told me you memorized how much each person gave you.”
Not everyone could do what Liu Yinyin did, let alone figure out numbers so quickly.
If someone had properly nurtured a person like Liu Yinyin in modern times, she would have become a mathematical genius.
Liu Yinyin smiled embarrassedly, but her eyes were bright. She felt like she could do anything whenever Su Binglan encouraged her. She believed she was not a useless person anymore.
“T-Thank you, Binglan.”
Su Binglan replied, “We’re family, so we shouldn’t argue. Oh, I also want to set up a dessert stall in the future, so we should buy some flour, eggs, white sugar, and other things.”
