Su Qingluo shook her head: “Flutes are not a necessity, and not many people use them. The fewer, the more precious they are. If we mass-produce flutes and flood the market, not only will they not fetch a good price, but they may also end up unsold in our hands.”
“Then what should we do?”
Li Xiu’e sighed sadly, feeling uncomfortable: “I don’t want people to criticize us for getting rich on our own without having a heart of kindness.”
“Mom, you were right to listen to me.”
Su Qingluo said, her little face serious and confident.
“Every family has its own difficulties, and we can help them as much as we can. We are under no obligation to support them. As for those grumpy women, let them gossip. Mom, you don’t have to take it to heart.”
“Is that the only way?” Li Xiu’e was still worried.
Su Qingluo nodded earnestly: “This is the most direct and efficient way to improve their lives as quickly as possible.”
“Alright then.”
Li Xiu’e had no choice but to follow her daughter’s advice: “Tomorrow I will let your father go to town and buy some rice and flour, and give some to those families.
“Mom, you’re doing the right thing.”
Su Qingluo smiled: “In the future, every time we celebrate a festival, let Dad send some gifts to them and take care of them. That would be enough.” “As for other things, Mom doesn’t have to worry. Every person has their own fate. They need to make their own efforts to change their destiny and cannot pin their hopes on the gifts from others.”
“Just like Dad and Mom, our life has been getting better and better with the Fortune Child. But it all started because you saved a drowning baby. If you hadn’t picked me up, there would be no good days to follow.”
“Sister Yu is right!”
Su Hu and Su Zixuan, father and son, were listening in the corner of the room, nodding their heads repeatedly. At this moment, Su Hu loudly agreed through the curtain.
“Mom, it’s right to listen to my sister.”
Ever since Su Zixuan found out that the little kingfisher was a phoenix, his admiration for his sister had risen to a new level.
Now he followed his father’s lead and echoed loudly.
“Tomorrow I will go to the town and buy rice, flour, and oil, and send it to them.”
Su Hu lifted the curtain and walked out, leading to his wife and going inside with her.
“You heard everything?” Li Xiu’e was still aggrieved.
“Hmm.”
Su Hu hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly: “There are some gossipy women in the village, and their words are unpleasant. In the future, don’t bother with them. Avoid them when you see them. Maybe sprinkle some salt in front of their doors to ward off the villains.’
“Hahaha, Dad, you’re so funny!”
Su Qingluo was amused, laughing with teeth shown but not her eyes.
“What are you teaching the child? Not serious.”
Li Xiu’e also laughed, and the grievance she had been holding back the whole afternoon finally dissipated.
As he said, Su Hu went to Furong Town the next day and bought a considerable amount of rice, flour, and oil.
Seeing the big business, the grocery store owner took the initiative to help load the donkey cart. On the way back, Su Hu spent twenty copper coins to hire two workers from the ferry crossing, to help carry the goods back to the village.
There were thirteen families in Woniu Village, and most of the strong men made a living by hunting.
Only two households lived like Su Hu in the past, with the male earners unable to continue hunting due to injury and relying on chopping firewood to make ends meet, leading a poor and difficult life.
Su Hu grew up in Woniu Village and has known the village hunters since childhood. They had some affection for each other.
He brought the purchased rice, flour, and oil to the courtyards of the two families and exchanged a few polite greetings before trying to leave.
Both families were so excited that they insisted on having him stay for dinner.
Su Hu had no choice but to accept the invitation..
