It was Su Yu’s first year of marriage, and not being able to spend the New Year together made his mood very unpleasant.
Seeing Su Yu’s displeased expression, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s not a big deal. Just focus on doing what you want to do first.”
They had many more New Years to celebrate together in the future; there was no need to dwell on it now.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with surprise and disbelief in his eyes, “Xiao He, you…”
Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Yu, “What? Did you think I really knew nothing about this?”
Su Yu coughed lightly, his expression somewhat embarrassed, “How did you find out?”
“I guessed,” Wang Jinhe said. Su Yu hadn’t done anything to Yang Shanshan and the others, and the fact that he personally wanted to go back and distribute shares was a bit problematic. As soon as he thought about it, he knew what Su Yu wanted to do.
Su Yu silently smiled and looked at Wang Jinhe, “Xiao He, you’re really clever. But indeed, I do have such thoughts. After all, they took care of me for such a long time, and it’s time for me to repay them.”
Wang Jinhe had no such thoughts. Instead, he patted Su Yu’s shoulder and said seriously, “You handle this matter as you see fit. As long as you think it’s right and you won’t regret it, it’s fine.”
Regret?
Su Yu smiled. He wouldn’t regret it. He only regretted that he had started acting too late.
The next morning, Su Yu left with Feng Qinling. Xiao Bao, holding onto him, looked reluctant, “Daddy, when are you coming back? I’ll miss you.”
“I’ll be back as soon as I finish my work. Xiao Bao, be a good boy and listen to Mommy and the others at home, okay?” Su Yu coaxed Xiao Bao gently while holding him.
Xiao Bao was still a bit unwilling, his brows furrowed.
” Xiao Bao, help take care of Grandma and Grandpa with your older brother while Daddy is away, okay?”
“Okay.” Xiao Bao nodded, agreeing to his father’s request.
Su Yu smiled, ruffled Xiao Bao’s head with his hand, and after talking to him for a while, he looked at Wang Jinhe and said, “Xiao He, take care of them for me. I’m leaving.”
“Go, take care on the road.”
Su Yu put Xiao Bao down and walked to Wang Jinhe’s side. He hugged her for a while before letting go.
After letting go of Wang Jinhe, Su Yu turned around and left with his entourage.
Su Xi watched Su Yu’s departing figure, knowing what he was going back to do this time. As for why he didn’t stop Su Yu, Su Xi felt that he was already old and shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of his children and grandchildren. What they wanted to do was their own business, unrelated to this old man. Su Qin and his wife also needed to be taught a lesson.
Su Yu arrived in the capital in just over ten days. After arriving, he had Yuan Bao send Feng Qinling back. As for the vegetables and strawberries, besides delivering them to the palace, they were all sent to the shop renamed “Four Seasons.”
The shopkeeper of Four Seasons was ecstatic when he saw so many fresh vegetables, including strawberries. His eyes gleamed with excitement.
“Yuan Xu, where did you get these vegetables? This timing is just perfect.” With only ten days left until the New Year, sending vegetables at this time could earn them a significant profit.
“These were grown in Madam’s family. Remember to make more money for Madam.” The implicit message was that the prices should not be too low.
“You can rest assured; we’ve got it all under control. By the way, how many catties are these strawberries?” The shopkeeper eagerly looked at Yuan Xu.
“Over three thousand catties.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll definitely sell them for a good price for Madam.” The shopkeeper said very seriously.
“Then, I’ll leave it to you.”
After Yuan Xu left, the shopkeeper had a servant inform the previous customers that the shop had received a batch of fresh vegetables and strawberries, asking if they were interested.
The wealthy households in the capital quickly learned that Four Seasons had received a new batch of vegetables and strawberries. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly sent their stewards over.
Each household’s steward was excited to see these large and red strawberries.
What a face they would have if they bought these strawberries and presented them as gifts!
“Shopkeeper, how much are these strawberries selling for? And your vegetables?”
“Fifteen taels of silver per catty for strawberries, and each type of vegetable has its price,” the shopkeeper said without hesitation.
“Fifteen taels? Are you robbing us?”
“This season, can you grow strawberries? Our young master spent a high price to buy these strawberries, not to mention the transportation costs and various other expenses. If you find it expensive, go buy from someone else.” The shopkeeper said arrogantly.
He had heard that the fruits and vegetables grown by their lady could help with health. Such good things shouldn’t be sold at a low price, right?
“I’ll tell you directly; these fruits and vegetables are good for your health. Take it or leave it. Our young master also sent some to the palace. There’s only this much, not many. We can sell them until the New Year, and after that, we won’t have any left.” The shopkeeper sighed with a hint of regret.
So many good things, but only so little. Fortunately, Yuan Xu had said that more vegetables would be delivered in the coming days.
Of course, there were strawberries too.
As soon as everyone heard about it, they couldn’t wait to grab some.
In winter, vegetables were already scarce, and there was only so much available here. What if they didn’t buy enough?
Ten catties here, twenty catties there—strawberries and vegetables were sold out in one afternoon.
The shopkeeper looked at the messy shop, thinking that these vegetables could be sold for a few days. The result was that they were all sold out in one day.
Those who came to buy the next day regretted it when they found out that the vegetables and strawberries were already sold out.
“Is it really gone? None left at all?” Someone asked, unwilling to believe.
“There really isn’t any now. Coming to me won’t help.” The shopkeeper shrugged, indicating that he couldn’t do anything.
“Will there be more later?” Their young master found out that his classmates also wanted to eat strawberries. Even if it was fifteen taels of silver per catty, they had to buy them.
The shopkeeper hesitated and said, “I don’t know about that. Our young master only brought back so much. Whether there will be more or not, you have to ask the young master.”
“If you find out, you must tell us.”
“Okay.” After sending away the inquiring customers, the shopkeeper went to find Su Yu.
Su Yu was in the study discussing important matters with Wan Feng and the others, “Is everything ready?”
“Preparations were made a year ago. We’re just waiting for Young Master to give the order.”
“Take action.” Su Yu said expressionlessly.
Wan Feng looked excitedly at Su Yu, “Is Young Master really going to take action?”
“Yes, with full force.”
The four words ‘with full force’ made Wan Feng look at Su Yu in disbelief. Really with full force? If that was the case, it would be very troublesome for Second Young Master and the others.
“Young Master…”
“Get to work.”
In recent times, Su Yu had thought a lot. The reason why Su Qin and Yang Shanshan were able to repeatedly act was because he had never done anything to them.
