In other words, he was willing to give her absolute trust and face everything that would happen in the future with her.
His voice was steady and authoritative, his gaze firm and confident, as if he was conveying to her: “No need to worry, your man has the ability to earn money!
Gu Zi found Su Shen incredibly charming. “Then I’ll accept it. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it!”
Her fascination with money amused Su Shen, and he suddenly reached out, placing his warm palm on her head.
“After marriage, a man should bring money home, but he shouldn’t interfere with the household finances. I must main tain this self-discipline; feel free to use and manage the finances,” he explained.
Su Shen felt that he had to be aware of this when dealing with this little money-grubber. Otherwise, he was worried that the little money-grubber would have a change of heart.
Gu Zi nodded eagerly, quickly locked the wooden box, and concealed it in a more discreet spot.
As she stood up, Su Shen took the initiative, asking, “Do you want a hug?”
Gu Zi revealed a sweet smile, walked towards him, and nestled into his embrace, whispering softly, “Goodnight, Mr. Su!”
Su Shen patted her back gently. “Goodnight, Miss Gu!”
After Su Shen left, Gu Zi spent some time reading before falling asleep. The night’s dreams were sweet as well.
The next day, Gu Zi woke up very early. She quickly washed up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. It was her favorite peanut butter noodles. The taste was rich and mellow, and it left an endless aftertaste!
When Su Shen, Su Bing, and Su Li came down, they were enticed by the aroma. They quickly pulled out chairs and sat down.
They took a bite and their appetite surged. The three plates of mixed noodles were soon wiped clean.
Gu Zi handed the prepared nutritious lunchboxes to Su Bing and Su Li as they headed to school.
When Su Shen was about to leave, Gu Zi called out to him, taking the initiative to give him a big hug.
“What would you like for lunch today? Tell me, I’ll make it for you!” she offered.
Seeing her eager demeanor, Su Shen couldn’t bear to refuse. He didn’t mind what he ate, especially when Gu Zi’s cooking was so delicious.
He ruffled Gu Zi’s hair. “Let’s have whatever you want. If you like it, I’ll like it. What are you planning to make today?”
Gu Zi said, “I prepared some herbal jelly in advance yesterday. Since today is market day, I thought I’d set up a stall!”
Su Shen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “You can use the money from yesterday however you want; don’t worry about not having enough money to spend.”
Gu Zi did not want him to misunderstand. So she explained, “I was thinking there wasn’t much to do, so I’m going to the market to set up a stall. It’s also a good chance to soak up some sun with Lele!”
“Okay,” Su Shen didn’t say much more. Gu Zi was a woman with ideas, and he should support what she chose to do.
He had to go to the city in the morning to deal with Tian Hai’s matter.
Once that was settled, he would take Gu Zi to get the marriage certificate.
Gu Zi took Lele and pushed the stroller out. At the market, she chose a spot near the intersection.
She took out a large pot of herbal jelly and placed small bowls made from banana leaves in a prominent position.
Then, she set up various toppings, along with a sign that read: “Cooling herbal jelly, 1 cent per bowl!”
The setting up of the stall was thus completed.
As Gu Zi’s stall was relatively new, many people quickly came to watch. Among the crowd were Zhang Cuihua and her grandson.
Zhang Cuihua bought two bowls with a wave of her hand, promoting them to the people around as she ate.
She promoted, “After eating this, you’ll feel refreshed, no dry mouth, no irritability. This is totally worth your one cent!”
Someone gulped and remarked, “One cent per bowl is too expensive. It could buy a pound of vegetables.”
Gu Zi smiled, “Whether it’s worth it or not, you’ll only know after trying it. This herbal jelly is made purely from herbs, mainly for clearing heat, reducing swelling, and removing dampness. The toppings are all selected with care.”
Her array of toppings included goji berries, raisins, canned fruit chunks, fresh watermelon bits, and homemade syrup.
Setting aside other things, just the raisins and canned fruits were usually reserved for special occasions like festivals. So, when combined in this way, the price seemed reasonable.
“Then give me a bowl to try. I’ve had a recent heatiness and my teeth ache. Will it work?” someone asked.
Gu Zi replied, “Of course, it will work. You’ll know once you try it.” Gu Zi sealed her second successful deal.
After someone set the pace, more and more people came to buy. Gu Zi quickly sold out.
The last bowl was purchased by Li Zhu’s mother, and Gu Zi gave her all the remaining toppings. Li Zhu’s mother enjoyed it thoroughly.
“Those who talk behind your back, saying you’re after the Su family’s wealth, don’t take a good look at your capabilities. You probably could earn quite a bit on your own.”
A woman like Gu Zi did not bother to engage in such petty schemes. Even if she spent Su Shen’s money, it was because Su Shen was willing..
