Shen Qiuchuan remembered being shocked when his parents told him Shen Qiuhua would be his godsister. Although Shen Qiuhua lived with her
Godparents and Godbrother, he knew she was the Young Lady of the Shens.
Deep down, Shen Qiuchuan could not neglect her. However, Shen Qiuhua had an excellent temperament and called them “Brother, Father, and Mother.” Shen Qiuchuan treated Shen Qiuhua with care and later treated her as his real sister.
He wanted to treat her well. Lin Qin and Shen Gang loved their Goddaughter and were happy to have her around.
The family was united when they were younger. Although they were not wealthy, their spirits were prosperous and happy. When Shen Qiuchuan had something good to eat, he would give it to his Godsister instead.
However, Shen Qiuhua would pass the food to her Godparents. Shen Qiuchuan knew she was just worried about them.
When it came time for the autumn harvest, Shen Qiuhua always wanted to help. Still, Lin Qin and Shen Gang were reluctant to let her work, so they gave her a stool to sit beside Shen Qiuchuan while he worked.
Shen Qiuhua would secretly go and help him or fetch some water for them to drink. Although Shen Qiuchuan worked hard all day, he was not troubled or tired.
He noticed his parents smiling more since Shen Qiuhua started living with them. Even Shen Qiuchuan was thrilled to have his Godsister around. The Blossom villagers envied him for having such a beautiful Godsister.
Shen Qiuchuan could not help but laugh and feel proud. Later, when they had their own families, Shen Qiuchuan felt he and his Godsister had become distant.
He felt uneasy then and longed to return to his carefree life with his Godsister. However, people had to grow up and face troubles in life. Although he had much to bear, he would feel warmth whenever he recalled his childhood with Shen Qiuhua.
Shen Qiuchuan was sincerely happy for his Godsister now that she and her family were doing well.
Madam Ma and Shen Zhishan were excited on the way home, When they arrived, Lin Qin, Shen Gang, and Shen Qiuhua were preparing more mung beans.
Lin Qin and Shen Gang were nervous, while Su Binglan and the others were absent. Jiang Nainai was even more distracted with her thoughts.
Although she knew how beneficial mung bean sprouts were, she did not know if they would sell well.
The trio became wide-eyed when they heard the voices at the door. Lin Qin asked, “Are those Binglan and the others?”
Shen Gang was puzzled. “They’re back so soon? But it’s only noon. They went to town in the morning, and I thought they’d only return at night.”
He remembered staying in town all day when selling firewood. Then, he would have to rush home after dark.
While Shen Gang and Lin Qin were worried, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao remained calm. After experiencing something similar, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew their daughter had sold all the mung bean sprouts.
They laughed, and Shen Qiuhua said, “Mother, Father, they must’ve already sold all the mung beans.”
Lin Qin was amazed, saying, “That quickly? But they had so many mung beans.’
She was nervous yet excited as she followed her Goddaughter to the door to take a look.
After everyone dismounted the carriage, Luo Jin’an tied it to the side. Su Binglan wanted to buy some provisions before returning. However, she realized it was unnecessary.
After all, she had brought many things, such as staple foods and vegetables, to Lin Qin and Shen Gangs house. She had brought enough for Lin Qin and the rest to last a while, not to mention the clothes and bedding.
Lin Qin and Shen Gang saw their granddaughter and the rest getting off and removing the empty baskets from the carriage.
Lin Qin’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Binglan, did you sell them all?”
Without waiting for Su Binglan to reply, Madam Ma answered, “Binglan is amazing! We didn’t know it, but she had planned ten steps ahead! While we ate at Drunken Cloud, she…
Suddenly, Shen Qiuhcuan interjected with a smile, “Let’s go inside and talk. It’s cold out here.’
Madam Ma finally realized they were at the door and agreed that it was best to talk inside. Otherwise, they would freeze at the door.
Lin Qin and Shen Gang sighed in relief when they saw Madam Ma’s excitement. Although they knew the trip went smoothly, they wondered why the others went to Drunken Cloud.
Lin Qin and Shen Gang knew Drunken Cloud was the best restaurant in town but also costly. Jiang Nainai also noticed Madam Ma’s excitement and knew they had sold all the mung bean sprouts.
‘They should have earned at least a few hundred coppers with that many mung beans.’
Jiang Nainai’s heart raced, and she could not stop smiling. When Shen
Zhishan saw his wife standing up, he went to support her, saying, “Be careful.”
Jiang Nainai feigned anger and said, “I’m not that delicate.”
Shen Zhishan was thrilled as he whispered to her, “The trip went better than expected. Our lives will only improve from now onward. I won’t let you work hard, especially since you’re pregnant. Now, I can buy you and the baby anything you two want to eat.”
Jiang Nainai knew her husband was terrible with sweet words. Still, she liked what he said. Shen Zhishan had never said such things before, but she knew why. After all, they did not have the best life.
‘It’s good that we have enough to eat, let alone be picky. Since my husband said he could buy the baby and me anything we want to eat, I guess they sold all the mung bean sprouts.’
When everyone entered the house, Madam Ma closed the door. She could not wait to tell them what had happened. “Binglan was excellent today. Now, we don’t have to sell the mung beans In town.
“Instead, people will come and collect them from us. We can focus on growing more stock, then sell some in town if we want extra income. Considering how much we can harvest, we can earn a lot monthly..”
