“Did you make all these things?” Only then did Zhou Yu grasp the main point of this matter.

Su Li smiled and nodded. “Yes, I was just messing around. I didn’t expect that I would succeed in the end.”

Zhou Yu swallowed her saliva. “Then were you the one who sent these things to the Exquisite Pavilion in town?”

No way! Was Su Li that capable?

The things in the Exquisite Pavilion had never been cheap. If Su Li had the ability, why would she still stay in that dilapidated straw hut?

Su Li nodded in Zhou Yu’s confusion. “I used to make it for them, but it’s now produced by the Exquisite Pavilion themselves!”

Zhou Yu looked like she understood. She asked again, “I see. Did you think of this formula yourself? Or did someone teach you?”

Su Li said half-truthfully, “I was so free a while ago that I researched blindly. I

didn’t expect to come up with it in the end. Perhaps I was just lucky.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She said excitedly, “How do I do this? Can you teach me?”

If she could also learn this, wouldn’t she be able to earn a huge sum of money?!

Su Li said apologetically, “Aunt, it’s not that I’m unwilling to teach you, but I’ve already sold the formula to the Exquisite Pavilion and signed an agreement with them. We agreed that other than me and them, I won’t tell anyone else about this formula.’

“I see!”

Zhou Yu looked disappointed. She had thought that she would be able to earn a sum of money. She had been happy for nothing.

However, her question was too abrupt. Most people would not tell her how to earn money. Moreover, she was not related to Su Li. Even if Su Li wanted to teach some, it would not be her!

Just as Zhou Yu felt that there was no hope of earning money, Su Li suddenly changed the topic and said, “Although I can’t tell others the formula, they allow me to produce it myself. They will accept everything produced.”

“There are too many things to do to make soap. I can’t handle it alone at all. Now, I’m thinking of finding two reliable people to help me. You know that I’m not very popular in the village. Now, I don’t even know who to ask for help!”

When Zhou Yu heard this, the expression on her face became excited again. She quickly grabbed Su Li’s arm and said, “Look at Auntie. Although Auntie is old, I’m very efficient!”

“Mother, where are you going?” When He Qingmu saw that Su Li was about to leave, he ran over and asked.

Su Li smiled and said, “It would be best if Auntie is willing to help me!”

The production of soap could not be stopped. Chen Xiang and her could not handle it alone. She also couldn’t focus all her time and energy on it. After yesterday’s incident, she felt that Zhou Yu was a reliable person.

The village chief’s family could live better than them because his youngest son had salary every month when he worked in town.

However, this was only what it looked like on the surface. Their lives were not as glamorous as they looked on the surface. A few years ago, Zhou Yu’s eldest son was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of gambling debts.

Where could an honest farmer find money to pay his debts? If he couldn’t take out the money, he would chop off his fingers. In the end, his eldest son couldn’t take the pressure and committed suicide, leaving a pile of gambling debts for He Yuan and his wife.

Although he was dead, the gambling debts he owed would not disappear. Under the constant harassment of his creditors, He Yuan really could not take it anymore. His final bottom line was to repay a little money every year, but he would only repay the principal and interest. The prerequisite for doing this was that they could not harass them again. Otherwise, they would not repay it even if they died.

This was a casino business. Now that the person who owed the debt was already dead, if He Yuan and the others were forced into a corner and did something, no one would be able to return the money. Therefore, the creditor agreed with He Yuan’s words.

Just like that, He Yuan had been using his youngest son’s salary to pay off the gambling debt left behind by his eldest son when he was alive.

Su Li said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Auntie to help me in the future. The salary is 80 copper coins a day. Do you think you can accept it?”

Eighty copper coins? That was more than her son’s salary in town!

Zhou Yu hurriedly nodded, afraid that if she was a little slower, her salary would be gone. “That’s too good. Mother of Dahu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best and not disappoint you.”

80 copper coins a day was like a pie falling from the sky.

When Su Li heard that address again, she kindly said, “Auntie, you can call me Su Li in the future.

Zhou Yu nodded. “Okay, okay, okay. Su Li it is.”

As long as she was paid, she would have no objections even if Su Li asked her to call her “grandaunt.”

Su Li discussed, “Then Auntie, will you come to work tomorrow?”

Zhou Yu nodded. “No problem, no problem!”

Things were going as smoothly as Su Li had imagined. With Zhou Yu’s participation, it was equivalent to having a protection card. At least in this village, those who wanted to cause trouble would have to think twice.

Now that the matter was settled, Su Li was about to go home with the two children.

“Come, take this back to eat. There’s nothing good at Grandma Zhou’s house. Don’t mind.”

Zhou Yu grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and stuffed them into He Qingyao and He Qingmu’s hands.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu refused, “Grandma Zhou, we can’t take your things. ”

Their mother had said that they could not take other people’s things casually.

Zhou Yu pretended to be angry and said, “I’ll be angry if you don’t take it. It’s not worth much. Take it as a snack.”

The brothers looked at Su Li awkwardly.

Su Li nodded and said, “Since Grandma Zhou gave it to you, take it!”

He Qingyao and his brother thanked Zhou Yu politely. “Thank you, Grandma

Zhou.”

Zhou Yu pinched their faces with a smile. “Aiyo, you’re really too obedient.” If only these two grandsons were hers.

Zhou Yu stood there and watched Su Li and her sons leave. In the end, she sighed heavily.

After sending the two children home, Su Li planned to go up the mountain to pluck the mandala.

This was the most important thing for the surgery tomorrow. Without anesthesia, the surgery could not be done.

He Qingmu was tempted. He also wanted to go up the mountain to play. “Mother, let’s go with you!”

Su Li said, “Stay at home with your father so that he won’t be bored lying in bed.”

He Qingmu pouted. “Alright then!”

Although he really wanted to go to the mountains to play, it was also important to accompany his father. If they went out, his father would be very bored at home. What if he lay on the bed and became moldy?!

Su Li pinched his little bump. “Then I’ll leave this important mission to you.”

Su Li carried the basket on her back and went up the mountain. On the way, she even met Wang Jinxue.

Wang Jinxue smiled insincerely and said, “Cousin-in-law, where are you going?”

Su Li glanced at her. “What does it have to do with you?”

Wang Jinxue choked and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Seeing that Wang Jinxue was blocking the way, Su Li said coldly, “Make way.”

Wang Jinxue snorted and didn’t move aside.

You won’t let me? Then don’t blame me for being rude.

Su Li bumped into Wang Jinxue with all her might, almost knocking her down the hill..
