After getting a satisfactory answer from Little Yu, Cheng Su went back and told Qi Taiguo about it, suggesting using an investment for shares approach to assist, otherwise she wouldnât be willing to accept it.
"That sounds good." Qi Taiguo thought for a moment and said, "If it profits, you can get a share, consider it a successful investment. If it loses, then itâs as if youâve made a donation and the money wonât come back."
"I think the same." Cheng Su said, "As for the loss, the probability should be small. After all, itâs in the food business; as long as itâs tasty and reasonably priced, it should sell well."
"Is she confident?" Qi Taiguo asked.
Cheng Su looked back at him and smiled, asking, "Donât you know? After all, sheâs your âfirst love,â donât you know what talents she has?"
Qi Taiguo blushed, intentionally put on a stern face, and said, "Look at you, how can you talk like that? What first love? Donât make things up! Especially, donât joke about that over there!"
"I know, Iâm just saying it here! Youâre no fun, canât joke with you at all, humph!" Cheng Su pouted.
"Alright, you do know about sister-in-lawâs status, do you think itâs appropriate for joking?" Qi Taiguo chided.
Cheng Su playfully turned her hand into a catâs paw: "I was wrong!"
"I really canât handle you!" Qi Taiguo pinched her cheek and asked, "So when will you go and try her skills?"
"Trying her skills is easy, but finding a shop is whatâs important. You know, I have to go to Guangcheng these days, and opening a shop is not something that can be done overnight. Iâm thinking of discussing and planning this with her when I get back from Guangcheng." Cheng Su said.
Qi Taiguo nodded, "That works too."
...
In a couple of days, Niannian recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Although she recovered, she was still weak and needed careful recuperation.
Qi Taiguo didnât have time to pick her up from the hospital, so Cheng Su went herself and also mentioned the shop opening plan to Little Yu.
"I have to go on a business trip these days, so the details will have to wait until I get back. Sister-in-law, if you have time, in the meantime, look around for a suitable place to open a bun shop, preferably in a busy area." Cheng Su said.
"Okay, you get on with your work first!" Little Yu responded quickly.
"In the meantime, take a good rest. Youâve been taking care of Niannian, and not taking care of yourself. This wonât do. You need a healthy body to do anything, otherwise, getting sick all the time, youâll have no energy for big things." Cheng Su advised.
"You always come up with these words of wisdom." Little Yu blushed, "Iâll listen to you, alright?"
Cheng Su stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Taiguo always says Iâm a housekeeper, haha, donât mind it!"
Little Yu also laughed, "Thatâs quite fitting indeed!" She has been smiling more these past few days, and chatting with Cheng Su felt comfortable.
Little Yuâs family is not in Qing City, but in a place called Xinhua County nearby, about an hour and a half away from the city, so not much small talk was made. Cheng Su put them on the bus and went home.
When she got home, Qi Fenglian was there. After asking, she found out she was off today, and the house looked tidied up. Cheng Su said, "Big sister, if youâre here, just be here, donât tidy the house, leave it to me!"
"I have nothing to do anyway, youâre all busy. Itâs no problem for me to help tidy up a bit." Qi Fenglian smiled.
Cheng Su said, "Since youâre resting, you might as well go out and about, or go shopping. Actually, you could take the opportunity to visit home and see the kids."
Qi Fenglian nodded absent-mindedly.
Noticing something was off, Cheng Su asked, "Whatâs up? Do you have something on your mind, big sister?"
