Madam Ma’s heart pounded with excitement. The thought of her family making a good living made her happy. She did not even notice how widely she smiled.

Lin Qin heard Madam Ma’s words and looked at her. The former understood that her daughter-in-law would not beat around the bush. Madam Ma always said what was on her mind.

Lin Qin sighed in relief and smiled.

Shen Qiuchuan also explained what happened when they went to Drunken Cloud. Shen Gang and Lin Qin listened to every detail and smiled.

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua had long known how amazing their daughter was, but they were also delighted to hear about what had happened.

After telling the family about their experience at the Drunken Cloud, Shen Qiuchuan revealed his contract with Mr. Wang.

“Mother, this is the contract I signed with Drunken Cloud. We’ll provide them with mung bean sprouts soon, so the employees will come to our house every few days to collect them.”

Setting up a stall to sell the mung bean sprouts was tiring and would take much time to travel from the village to the town. Furthermore, leaving home early in the morning and returning late at night was a hassle.

If the Drunken Cloud employees came to collect the goods, the family could save labor and grow more mung bean sprouts at home. After all, they would earn more if they had more beans.

Lin Qin felt much more energetic, wishing to plant as many mung beans as possible. Even so, the house had six rooms of baskets and other things for planting the beans.

The family had already filled the six rooms with mung beans and would harvest them the following day.

Lin Qin held Su Binglan’s hand and said, “Binglan, thank you for everything.

You’re the reason why we have a proper business now. We no longer need to work in the fields and expose ourselves to the elements.

“We can work from home instead of going to sell the mung bean sprouts.

You’ve made our lives much easier now.”

Su Binglan smiled. “Grandma, you don’t need to thank me. We’re family, after all. I’m glad that you and Grandpa will do well now. I’ll be happy if my mother is happy for you.”

Lin Qin chuckled, “I’m proud to have a Goddaughter like your mother and a granddaughter like you.”

The older woman felt relieved now. She used to feel guilty about her Goddaughter but grew delighted seeing how well Shen Qiuhua did.

Su Binglan then told the family more details regarding the mung beans. She also said they could seek her out in Su Teng Village if they faced any issues. Moreover, she considered bringing Lin Qin and the others to the village after winter.

The family could not travel too far now because Jiang Nainai was pregnant. Otherwise, Lin Qin and the others would have gone to Su Teng Village now. Still, the family had to focus on earning money first.

They were full of energy now, looking at the mung bean sprouts as if they were pots of gold. Soon, Su Binglan revealed the money they had earned from selling the recipe and gave it to Lin Qin.

“Grandma, this is the two hundred silver we earned from selling the mung bean sprouts.

Lin Qin trembled with widened eyes when she saw the money. ‘They earned that much in just a short while?’

She was so excited that she almost fainted. Even Jiang Nainai’s eyes widened as emotions surged through her. She felt at ease, knowing she could earn that much from working at home.

All her worries disappeared, and she felt calm. By earning that much, the family could live well. Jiang Nainai was thrilled and soon felt a kick in her belly. She rubbed her pregnant belly and smiled.

‘We can give the child a good life now.’ Her smile grew even brighter with this thought in mind.

Shen Gang also grew excited when he saw the two hundred silver. He was amazed that Su Binglan could earn that much so quickly.

Lin Qin’s hands trembled as she held the two hundred silver. After a while, she returned to her senses and said, “Binglan, you earned this. I can’t take it.”

Su Binglan replied, “That’s the money I earned from selling the mung bean sprouts, so it belongs to you. My mother and I will feel at ease if you take it.

“Besides, you can all keep it for a rainy day or buy more nutritious food for yourselves, especially since Nainai is pregnant and needs more nutrition.

Jiang Nainai was grateful to Su Binglan. The former only wanted her child to grow up with proper nourishment.

Under Su Binglan’s insistence, Lin Qin took the silver. The older woman felt all her pressure from the past had disappeared when she looked at the money. She felt a massive weight off her shoulders, knowing her family would live good and healthy lives with the money they could earn.

Furthermore, Lin Qin could buy better food for her great-grandson. She said, “We’ll stay home and focus on planting the mung beans. After all, our lives will improve in no time if we plant more, right?”

Madam Ma felt at ease now that they could make a living from home, However, she would not waste money or feel like spending it. Although frugal, she felt it was best to have savings.

Since the family had struggled much, she knew to work hard and earn a better living.

The family happily chatted, and lunchtime soon arrived. Even though Su Binglan and the others had eaten at Drunken Cloud, Lin Qin and the rest had not eaten yet.

Therefore, Su Binglan taught everyone to make egg-fried rice. “This is a simple dish you can make when you’re busy with harvesting and don’t have time to make complicated dishes.

“You can eat this with the potato pancakes I taught you all how to make last time. It’ll be delicious with some extra vegetables.”

Madam Ma and Jiang Nainai looked on thoughtfully. They felt they had learned a lot from Su Binglan since she visited. The duo learned to make various dishes with even the simplest ingredients.

After lunch, Su Binglan and the others prepared to return to Su Teng Village. Lin Qin and the rest were reluctant and wanted them to stay for a few more days.

However, Shen Qiuhua felt she had already stayed long enough and was worried about her sons at home. She would only feel relieved when she went home to check on them..
