Wang Jinhe remained silent, merely gazing at Su Xuan Xuan, curious to see what else she wanted to say. “You guessed right. I do have a good relationship with Xie Yang. I’ve thought about getting her together with Xiao Yu and even tried to create opportunities, but every time, Xiao Yu would avoid it like dodging a plague.”
Thinking about how Su Yu used to avoid Xie Yang, a somewhat natural smile finally appeared on Su Xuan Xuan’s face.
“Why are you telling me all this?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Xuan Xuan in confusion. Was this person talking to her just for this?
“When I came here, I was actually observing. I wanted to see what kind of person could make my brother, who has high standards, not even return home. Now it seems that I was short-sighted. Xiao Yu has a good judgment; you are the most suitable person for him.” Su Xuan Xuan didn’t respond to Wang Jinhe’s question but instead looked at her and spoke.
Previously, she had assisted Xie Yang, but after experiencing so much, she decided that Su Yu’s affairs were something she was least qualified to intervene in.
Only when Su Yu was with Wang Jinhe would he reveal a happiness that Su Xuan Xuan had never seen before.
In these years, Su Yu’s smiles had become increasingly rare.
During the time at Wang Jinhe’s house, perhaps it was when Su Yu smiled the most?
Because the child would smile, because Wang Jinhe would smile, and because her family would also smile.
These past few days, she had been pondering whether Su Yu would truly be happy if he married someone else.
“No, he believes that Su Yu definitely won’t be happy. Not only won’t he be happy, but he might also seek revenge on everyone, right?”
She had figured it out. In these past few years, Su Yu had a strong hostility, only becoming calm when beside Wang Jinhe and their son.
“Now that you’re married, live a good life, take care of yourselves, and be cautious. That woman won’t give up so easily.” Given Yang Shanshan’s character, even if Wang Jinhe had the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she would still do something in secret.
The emperor is far away; who can control her?
Wang Jinhe unexpectedly looked at Su Xuan Xuan. This person is actually giving her so many warnings? It truly surprised her.
“I know. You also take care of yourself.”
“Mm.”
Su Xuan Xuan watched Wang Jinhe preparing to leave and suddenly spoke, “I apologize for what happened before. Please take care of Xiao Yu for me. He…”
Su Xuan didn’t finish her sentence, feeling that saying all this might be unnecessary.
“I will.”
Su Xuan Xuan was momentarily stunned, then smiled. Wang Jinhe was indeed good, far better than Xie Yang in many ways. Xie Yang couldn’t be compared with her.
Looking at Wang Jinhe in front of her, Su Xuan Xuan turned around and returned to Su Jiu’s side. “Brother, let’s go.”
Feng Qinling looked at Su Xuan Xuan, suddenly ran over, and hugged her. “Mother…”
“Listen to your uncle and aunt here. Also, to Grandpas and Grandma okey?” Su Xuan reached out to touch her daughter’s head.
Feng Qinling nodded, “I… I know.”
“Don’t be sad. When your uncle comes back, ask him to take you back. How about coming over after the New Year?” Su Xuan Xuan’s attitude toward Feng Qinling became much gentler.
This change surprised Wang Jinhe, but it also brought her relief.
Su Xuan Xuan’s actions indicated that she had truly understood and wouldn’t do anything wrong again.
As for Su Yu, he was a bit dissatisfied with Su Xuan Xuan’s words. Did she promise that? How could she say that?
Seeing the expectant look on Feng Qinling’s face, Su Yu nodded in agreement.
Feng Qinling had a happy smile on her face. “Thank you, Uncle.”
Knowing that she could go back when her uncle returned to the capital, Feng Qinling finally felt happy. Although she was still reluctant to part with Su Xuan Xuan, the thought of being able to return later made her cheerful.
“Let’s go.”
The family watched them leave. Earlier in the morning, Wang Jinhe specifically went to pick a small basket of strawberries for the Empress Dowager. Even Xiao Bao wanted to eat them, but he didn’t get any, which made Xiao Bao very unhappy.
“Let’s go back.” Yu Bailin spoke as the group was no longer visible.
“Grandpa, you all go back first. Su Yu and I will go to the village chief’s house for a while. The vegetables are about to be harvested.” Wang Jinhe looked at Yu Bailin and said.
“Alright.”
Wang Jinhe held Su Yu’s hand, and the two went to the village chief’s house. Xie Kui, upon seeing them, hurriedly greeted them, “Xiao He, have you come? Is there something going on?”
“In about five or six days, we’ll start harvesting vegetables to sell. Uncle, please tell the others to get ready.” Wang Jinhe didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
The village chief’s eyes immediately lit up, prompting Wang Jinhe to tease, “Uncle, do you think we don’t want them anymore?”
Xie Kui smiled and shook his head, “Not at all. Even if you don’t want them, we’ve grown such good vegetables. We can still sell them in town and make a good amount of money. What’s the harm?”
“Uncle, your thoughts are good, but you can’t sell them. We’re counting on the vegetables to make money.” Wang Jinhe finished speaking and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, I’ll inform them when I go back, and we’ll harvest directly when the time comes.” In fact, there were many rumors in the village these days. Some people thought that their vegetables were just a scam by Wang Jinhe and Su Yu.
But Xie Kui didn’t see it that way. They were busy with their marriage, and besides, the taste of these vegetables was much better than those grown in their own homes. Selling them in town would surely be lucrative, especially in the current winter when fresh vegetables were scarce.
It was strange, though. The vegetables grown from the seeds obtained from Xiao He’s family not only had no pests but also tasted much better.
No wonder Xiao He dared to say they would earn money together. Now, they were completely convinced.
“It’s almost Chinese New Year, and there’s a shortage of vegetables everywhere. We should find a suitable time to sell the vegetables,” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow.
Xie Kui understood the reasoning and pointed at the two of them with a wry smile. “You two are really something.”
Selling during the New Year would certainly yield a different price than selling beforehand.
“The price for all the vegetables you’ve grown is the same. We’ll sell it at eight cents per kilogram,” Wang Jinhe stated, a price they had discussed on their way here.
However, the village chief was shocked by the price set by the two.
“No… no, eight cents per catties for vegetables?” Wasn’t that too expensive?
“We could sell it for even more if we deliver it elsewhere. As long as you don’t think the price is too low,” Wang Jinhe waved his hand, worried that they might find the price too low.
“Low? This isn’t low at all. We have a lot of this kind of stuff, with several thousand catties of vegetables. This can fetch us quite a bit of money,” Xie Kui laughed. As for Wang Jinhe saying they could get a better price elsewhere, who knew how much they could actually deliver? Labor and damages all cost money. How could they complain about the price being low when they could make over ten taels of silver from two thousand catties of vegetables? This was something they wouldn’t dare to dream of in ordinary times.
