Chapter 60 The Question of the Ownership of the Silver
Su Qingfeng fell completely silent.
The child has already said so much, what can he possibly say in response?
But deep down, he still felt uneasy.
Su Li looked at her father quietly. She understood that her father's deep-rooted filial piety could not be changed overnight.
She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Dad, don't worry, we will definitely be filial to Grandpa and Grandma! But no matter what, you and Mom are the people we put in our hearts the most. As for other things, I will talk to Grandpa before making a decision. What happened to Second Uncle... will not happen to us again."
Upon hearing Su Li's words, Su Qingfeng finally showed a hint of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
"I feel much more at ease knowing that you think this way. You are sensible in your actions, and I trust you."
But after turning off the lights and going to bed, Su Li lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Her eyes were fixed on the dark roof, her heart filled with a jumble of emotions.
In the past, his family had to get up before dawn every day to work and endure his grandmother's unwarranted scolding.
Later, when I went to set up a stall at the dock, I had to get up at dawn to prepare the things for the stall. Even though I was shivering in the cold wind, I still had to guard the noodle stall.
Several times, heavy rain soaked all the ingredients I had painstakingly prepared, ruining my day's work and leaving me feeling incredibly frustrated.
My brother's job at the docks isn't easy either. Every time he moves those heavy things, his hands get all red and raw from the straps. It's heartbreaking to see...
Now that she had finally earned some money, Su Li didn't want to spend it on others; she wanted to prioritize her own needs first.
The first thing we need to do is get a shop at the dock!
The small shops along the dock, though not big, are enough to set up a noodle stall, and more importantly, they provide shelter from the wind and rain.
The weather is getting colder every day, and if we keep going out in the wind and rain every day, the whole family will be exhausted.
Su Li recently bought a lot of soybeans. If she sprouted them in the shop and sold them nearby, the business would be much better. It would be much better than the current small-scale operation...
No matter how difficult it is, she is determined to pave a way for her family to no longer suffer!
The following evening, in the main hall.
Once everyone was seated, Su Li raised her eyes, looked directly at Old Master Su, and slowly began to speak:
"Grandpa, winter is here and things are quieter at home. I'm thinking of sending Asheng to the village's private school. He's reached the age where he should be going to school. What do you think?"
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to freeze.
No one expected that Su Li would suddenly bring this up at this crucial moment.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Su's wrinkles instantly furrowed, and she shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Study? Doesn't he even know what the family's situation is? With that blockhead of his, he's thinking about taking exams? Stop daydreaming and give up on that idea as soon as possible. We don't have that kind of spare money!"
Su Li remained calm, meeting the old lady's unfriendly gaze, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Grandma, I know things aren't easy for the family, but our Sheng is very smart. Even if it's not for the sake of studying, it's good to be able to read and write. I've thought about the money. I'll find a way to earn it and won't let the family suffer."
Grandma Su scoffed, her lips turning down even further.
"Hmph, you little brat, do you really think you're so capable? Do you know how much money it costs to study? You think your brother Xiangming is the reincarnation of the God of Literature? Do you really think studying is so easy?"
As she spoke, her cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of scrutiny and greed.
"I think if you've really made a lot of money, you should obediently hand it over to your grandfather and me. What do you kids know? Don't end up squandering it all without even realizing it!"
Su Li knew in her heart that there was no point in continuing to argue with the old lady.
Besides, even if the whole family agrees, the final decision still rests with the old man.
Although she didn't care about her grandparents' attitude, considering her father, she felt it was best to clarify the matter in the open.
She turned to look at the silent Old Master Su, her eyes filled with respect and expectation.
“Grandpa, to be honest, we’ve worked hard at our stall at the dock for over a month and have indeed saved up some money. It shouldn’t be a problem to send Asheng to the village school for his first lessons…”
“But you are the head of the family, so you should make the decisions on important family matters. We can only do this if you agree. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to make any plans even if we had a lot of money.”
Upon hearing this, Old Master Su sat up slightly.
He subconsciously stroked his beard, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He glanced at Su Erbo, who was keeping his head down and not saying a word.
Uncle Su was staring listlessly at the table, his eyes dull and lifeless.
Grandpa Su sighed softly, recalling how the whole family had been disturbed yesterday because of the house in town. He then turned to look at Su Li, his eyes filled with a hint of relief and appreciation.
Seeing that her grandfather's expression had softened, Su Li pressed on, saying, "Grandpa, as long as you agree, we'll immediately start preparing to send Asheng to the private school."
Grandpa Su stroked his beard again, a gentle look in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Since you've thought of everything so thoroughly, it would be heartless of me to object. Studying is always a good thing. I think Asheng is a clever and bright boy with a knack for studying. Sending him to a private school to begin his education would be a good idea!"
Grandma Su pursed her lips, not saying a word, but she was clearly unhappy again.
Su Qingfeng was quite pleased. The children's respect for their elders ensured a harmonious and prosperous family life.
Now that Asheng's schooling issue has been resolved, Su Li should consider buying a shop at the dock.
As dawn broke, the dock was already bustling with activity.
Boats of all sizes shuttled back and forth, and laborers loaded and unloaded goods, shouting work songs as they carried boxes and bags of goods on and off the boats.
The shops along the riverbank were of varying sizes and small, with their signs fluttering in the wind, yet they were exceptionally lively.
Su Li put her hands in her sleeves and walked along the dock, looking around as she pondered the matter of the shop.
The cold wind ruffled her hair, and she casually smoothed it with her hand, her eyes fixed on the flow of customers in the shops.
Besides vendors selling food at stalls, some people at the pier also choose to set up shops and tables and chairs to attract customers.
The steamed bun shop in front of her was bustling with people, and the staff were so busy that they barely had time to breathe. Su Li couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
This shop not only sells steamed buns and mantou, but also rice porridge and side dishes. The three rooms are almost full of customers. How can these vendors who push carts compare?
Su Li shook her head and sighed inwardly.
Although this place is lively, there are too many food stalls and the competition is fierce. I'm afraid the money I have isn't enough to cover all the expenses, so I need to think about it some more.
Walking further, I saw an empty little house. It was in a slightly remote location, but it was right next to several warehouses, and the porters often rested there.
Su Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly went forward to carefully examine the room.
The walls were somewhat mottled, the door was also a bit dilapidated, and the space was not large, only about a third the size of the steamed bun shop, but there was also a small courtyard in the back, which looked like it could hold a lot of goods.
She had a better idea of what was going on and secretly memorized the location.
After making some inquiries, Su Li found the small courtyard where Steward Yu lived.
She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and carried several carefully selected jars of fine wine before knocking on the door.
