Chapter 52 Unexpected Discovery
Looking back on those days, a hint of relief flashed in Su Li's eyes.
Some time ago, she encountered many setbacks, but she also benefited from them by meeting Brother Qin, a righteous and generous friend.
Su Li briefly mentioned wanting to rent a room in town and hoped Brother Qin could help her inquire about it. Brother Qin immediately patted his chest and laughed heartily:
"Don't worry, sister, I'll take care of this."
Su Li didn't really want to move to the town; rather, she planned to verify her suspicions.
Su Zhen has been reselling spatial resources for a month or two now, and she must have accumulated quite a bit of silver.
In this small town of Wuyang, there are no luxurious shops for them to squander, nor any valuable items for them to spend lavishly, so buying real estate is their most likely option.
Moreover, ever since the incident of bandits roaming the town last time, Su Li had already suspected that her second uncle's family had bought a house in the town long ago.
Su Li was waiting for news from Brother Qin so she could find something to use against her second uncle's family...
Time flies, and the end of the year is approaching in the blink of an eye. The biting cold wind blows like a knife, and pedestrians on the road can't help but wrap themselves tighter in their cotton-padded clothes.
After paying taxes and selling grain, every household in the village got busy.
Curing bacon, making sauerkraut, mending clothes, preparing for the New Year, and welcoming the rare leisure time in winter.
The dock was as busy as ever. As the year drew to a close, the number of merchant ships coming and going remained unchanged. During this time, Su Li and her two companions' stall became increasingly lively. She even specially set up a few tables and chairs for customers to sit down and eat.
That day, the three of them didn't pack up until almost noon.
While packing her belongings, Su Li called out to He Shi and Tao Hua, "Sister-in-law, Tao Hua, let's go to the market today and buy some New Year's goods."
Su Li had already changed into her winter cotton coat, which was hand-sewn by Madam Hu and had been worn for several years; now the sleeves were a bit short.
They've made a lot of money from their stall recently, so it's time for them to get a new outfit.
Parents, older brother, and younger brother all need some new clothes, especially the younger brother, who is always jumping around and growing very fast.
"Let's go! It's getting late, or the market will be closing up."
After getting ready, Su Li took He Shi's arm with one hand and Tao Hua's arm with the other, chatting and laughing all the way, with faint smiles on the faces of all three.
But as she reached the next corner, Su Li suddenly stopped, her eyes instantly turning sharp.
"What's wrong, little sister?" Madam He asked, puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, look at that person up ahead, isn't that Su Yao...?"
Not far ahead, Su Yao was sitting in a lavishly decorated carriage. Beside her was a handsome young man in a brocade robe with a warm jade pendant at his waist, clearly a wealthy young man.
Su Yao raised her hand and lifted the curtain, peeking out half of her body.
The young man smiled and looked at Su Yao with tender eyes. He gently took Su Yao's hands and carefully helped her down from the carriage, whispering something to her.
The two acted intimately together, like a perfect couple.
After getting out of the car, they walked side by side into the restaurant next door, and their figures quickly disappeared behind the door.
"This...this really is Su Yao. What's she doing here? And who is that young master next to her?"
Mrs. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Su Li shook her head, her brows furrowed slightly, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
My eldest cousin, Su Yao, will turn seventeen next year. She is already engaged to the Wang family and will get married next year.
That's why she's been embroidering her wedding dress at home these days.
Logically speaking, the Wang family should have visited the Su family during the Spring Festival this year, but this young master in front of them doesn't look like a member of the Wang family at all. What's the secret behind this?
The image of that dazzling, fiery red wedding dress slowly surfaced in Su Li's mind, and she felt increasingly uneasy.
"Let's not think about these things anymore. The elders will naturally handle things at home, so let's not worry about them. Let's go, I still have a lot to buy!"
Su Li didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
In her heart, apart from her parents, her eldest brother and sister-in-law, her younger brother, and Peach Blossom, it didn't matter whether anyone else was alive or dead.
The three of them strolled around the market for quite a while, buying a lot of things, their hands were almost too full to carry them all.
Recalling the scene of Su Yao getting off the carriage just now, Su Li felt that it would be great if her family had a donkey cart, so they wouldn't have to work so hard.
Sigh, I still have to work hard and save money...
Brother Qin is very efficient; he quickly replied to the matter that Su Li asked him to inquire about.
After closing up shop, Su Li arrived at Brother Qin's house and gently knocked on the door.
Brother Qin warmly welcomed Su Li inside.
"Brother Qin, thanks to your help the other day, here are some pastries that just came out of the oven at Jixiangzhai, please have a taste."
Su Li smiled and placed the oil paper package on the table, then picked up the cloth bag next to her. "And these fresh bean sprouts are also something I just came up with. They're crisp and refreshing. You and your sister-in-law should try them too."
Su Li had previously collected a lot of soybeans from the villagers. In winter, there weren't many fresh vegetables available, except for cabbage and radishes. Now that she didn't plan to continue her tofu rice business, sprouting these soybeans was a good option.
"Girl, you've come all this way, why did you bring all this stuff? You're too kind!"
Brother Qin sighed and turned to go into the backyard. "Sit down for a while, I'll go make you some tea!"
The Qin family's house was not large, but it was kept very clean.
As soon as Brother Qin left, a woman's questioning voice came from the inner room, "Who is it? Is my sister-in-law here? Hey, why didn't you say so earlier, you..."
Su Li looked up and met the woman's confused eyes. She grinned and said:
"This must be Sister-in-law Qin. Brother Qin often mentions you to me. I am Su Li, and I met Brother Qin at the dock."
As she spoke, Su Li seemed to remember something, turned around and took out a small and exquisite wooden box from her basket. The logo of Treasure Pavilion was clearly engraved on the box.
Su Li walked up to Sister-in-law Qin, handed her the box with both hands, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Sister-in-law Qin was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Su Li with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
So she was Su Li, the one Old Qin often mentioned...
This young woman spends all her time among men at the docks and has repeatedly asked her husband for help. This time, she even came directly to his door. Could she be up to something?
Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Qin's face grew even more unpleasant.
But out of politeness, she still reached out and took the box.
What good things can you buy for yourself?
Aunt Qin muttered to herself as she casually opened the box—
In an instant, a silver glint caught my eye—a pair of exquisite silver lilac earrings!
"oops!"
Aunt Qin couldn't help but gasp. She looked up at Su Li, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
"This...this was bought for me? This is way too expensive, I can't accept it!"
Su Li looked at her, a gentle smile playing on her lips:
"Sister-in-law Qin, your skin is so fair, these silver lilac earrings fit you perfectly! Brother Qin has helped us so much, this little gift is nothing."
Sister-in-law Qin's gaze fell on Su Li's face. Seeing her calm expression, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt and secretly blamed herself for judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.
Let alone silver pendants, her husband Qin has never even bought her a pair of bronze pendants.
Even if this girl is going to sell her own man, let her be!
As Sister-in-law Qin was pondering, Brother Qin, carrying a teapot, lifted the curtain and walked in. He cleared his throat and said:
"Girl, I've made some progress on that thing you asked me to inquire about last time. That house you liked had a new owner a little over a month ago, and now it's only inhabited by an old woman with her grandson, I think her name is Granny Cai..."
