Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen went to the house next door to feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs. The two were busy making grilled chicken and roast duck during the day and only had time to look after the livestock at night.

Although they had hired people from the village to help, the demand for grilled chicken and the roasted duck was high, and the family was quite busy. However, they felt fulfilled because they were busy making money.

Now they could improve their living conditions from time to time, primarily because Su Fengchen had Miao Zhizhi by his side. She could accompany him as emotional support, giving him the drive to do anything.

Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Fengchen beside her and felt a sense of security now that she had a home. Therefore, she did not feel tired at all. Instead, she felt full of expectations for life when she was with him.

Even Old Master Su and Old Madam Su felt at ease. Their children were improving, and their days were full of hope. They even slept with smiles on their faces.

Old Madam Su saw Shen Qiuhua and said happily, “Qiuhua is here.”

Shen Qiuhua entered the house with her things and said, “Father-in-law,

Mother-in-law, it’s already dark. Why are you guys still so busy?”

“I’m not tired,” Old Madam Su said, “I’m already familiar with cooking. I just need to keep an eye on the pot. You’re busy with the tofu factory now. Why did you take the time to come here? Your father-in-law and I are okay. Don’t worry.”

“I know,” Shen Qiuhua said, “I’m not tired either and was just managing some affairs. That’s Binglan’s new dish, stinky tofu. Ignore the smell and try it. It’s quite delicious.”

Old Madam Su wiped her hands and took the bags of stinky tofu, “Binglan’s food must be delicious. Come in and sit for a while. Fengchen and Zhizhi went to feed the chickens. They’ll be back soon.”

“I brought a lot so that you can try it first.”

Old Master Su and Old Madam Su did not argue and ate the stinky tofu. Old Madam Su’s eyes instantly lit up. “Wow, it’s delicious. Did Binglan make this with tofu? Its name is stinky tofu, but it’s tastier than regular tofu.

“This stinky tofu is delicious.” Old Master Su nodded in agreement.

Shen Qiuhua explained, “Indeed, Binglan made it using tofu, but it tastes unique. We’re happy as long as you like it. We made it by chance, and Binglan told me to bring it over for you to taste.”

“Binglan is so considerate.” Old Madam Su chuckled. “You don’t have to leave yet. Why not stay for dinner?”

“That’s okay, Mother-in-law. I’ll have dinner at home,” Shen Qiuhua said while waving, “By the way, when do you plan on helping Fengchen and Zhizhi with their wedding?”

She was curious about when the couple would be official so that she could make preparations in advance. She wanted to be as prepared as possible.

Although she was Su Fengchen’s second sister-in-law in terms of seniority, she treated Su Fengchen like a child.

Old Madam Su could not stop smiling whenever someone mentioned this topic. She smiled so much that her eyes turned into slits. “I’m glad you mentioned that. I was always concerned about Fengchen in the past, but he’s not a kid anymore. Still, I didn’t expect him to find someone like Zhizhi.

“Zhizhi is so good to Fengchen. Your father-in-law and I know those two are considerate and care for each other. We feel at ease when we see them together. ”

Shen Qiuhua was delighted to hear that. “It’s good that my brother-in-law found someone who treats him well. Now everyone can rest assured. I think Zhizhi is a good person. We’re happy she’ll be a part of the family.”

“I’m thinking of getting Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding settled by the end of the year,” Old Madam Su said, “But Zhizhi doesn’t have a family, so we can’t let her suffer. We must show her proper etiquette.”

“Then we’ll prepare the betrothal gifts and dowry,” Shen Qiuhua said.

“Yes, that’s what we think too,” Old Madam Su seconded.

“Fengmao and I will also help with the preparations,” Shen Qiuhua added.

Old Madam Su shook her head. “You don’t have to spend so much money. Your father-in-law and I have saved up quite a bit of silver. We have enough to buy whatever we need.

“There’s an empty plot of land on the east side. We’re planning to expand the current house and make it bigger. We’ll have a courtyard, too, so Fengchen and Zhizhi can live in a bigger house when they have children.

“We’ll also build a place to make our grilled chicken, roast duck, preserved eggs, and salted duck eggs. I’ve already talked to Zhengde, and Madam Zhou will help with the furniture.”

Shen Qiuhua was thrilled. “This is a joyous occasion, so we must do a good job.”

“That’s right. Let’s use this time to celebrate. Thanks to Binglan, everyone in our family has improved this year.” Old Madam Su was happy. She no longer had to worry about her family.

Everyone was healthier and owned businesses, so their days would only improve.

Shen Qiuhua went home after chatting with her in-laws. She returned as Su Binglan did and told her everything. “Binglan, what do you think we should prepare for your Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi?

“Madam Zhou is making furniture for them while your Uncle Zhengde will renovate their house. We should also do something for Fengchen, right?

After some thought, Su Binglan’s eyes lit up. “Let’s bake them a wedding cake. It’s typically for the bride. That’s why we call it a wedding cake. I can make it sweet and delicious to make it feel more festive.

“My embroidery shop can also make a folding screen and some bedding for Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi. We should have enough time to complete these things before the New Year.”

Shen Qiuhua immediately knew what to do when she heard her daughter’s words. “You’re the best, Binglan. My head was hurting while trying to figure these things out. Also, we can’t be short of gifts,” she whispered.

Since the family had become wealthy, she felt obligated to give more gifts, especially as Su Fengchen’s sister-in-law.

Su Binglan nodded. “Of course. I have to make a makeup box for Zhizhi too.”

She wanted to make a set of makeup boxes for people to see when the time came. Everyone would be amazed to see Miao Zhizhi holding these gifts during her wedding.

That would also show people that the Su family treated Miao Zhizhi as family. It would also help Miao Zhizhi feel welcomed by the family.

Shen Qiuhua said, “When I went to your third aunt’s house to send them food, she said she wanted to set up a few tables for the banquet to make it more lively. Your third uncle will take charge of the banquet and prepare some dishes.”

She was excited as she spoke and thought of how lively the wedding would be.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Mother, we might not have enough food if it was just a few more tables. Many other people will want to attend the wedding too.”

After some thought, Shen Qiuhua realized something and asked, “Will many of our villagers want to give gifts too?”
