“You two keep it for yourselves.” Mrs. He declined.

“Auntie, please accept it.” Zhuang Qingning still pushed it into Mrs. He’s hands, “You have been helping us make clothes and shoes, without asking for money or tofu in return. How would 1 have the nerve to ask you to make clothes for us in the future if you don’t accept this?”

Seeing Zhuang Qingning insist, Mrs. He, knowing they were now making tofu as a business, felt they were doing alright, so she reluctantly accepted it: “Then, Auntie will accept this without any shame…”

After accepting the tofu, Mrs. He didn’t leave immediately, but was grinning and casually looking around, seeming quite embarrassed.

“Auntie, do you also need something from me?” Zhuang Qingning sensed something and asked.

“Well, there is a little something…” Mrs. He appeared hesitant but finally seemed to make up her mind, biting her lip and saying, “I wanted to discuss something with you.”

“Auntie, feel free to say whatever you need.” Zhuang Qingning fetched a newly purchased small stool and invited Mrs. He to sit down, “Auntie, please take a seat and tell me at your ease.”

Once she sat down, Mrs. He seemed somewhat less nervous. Clearing her throat, she said, “Now that you’ve rented Sister-in-law Wen’s tofu workshop, 1 have tasted your tofu and it is very good. You are also doing well at the town market. 1 am very happy for both of you.”

“However, since Sister-in-law Wen’s workshop stopped grinding tofu, our village no longer has anyone making tofu. To buy tofu, we must either go to the town or Lincun village, which is very inconvenient.”

“You and Miss Sui can only manage to sell tofu in the town market, but you cannot manage to serve our village. I was thinking of proposing something: why not keep some tofu at home before you go to the town market to sell, and your uncle and 1 can help sell it in our village?”

“We don’t have much to do during the off-farming season, and our child is growing up gradually. 1 am also thinking about earning some extra money to support the family. Seeing that your tofu business is good, I thought about buying tofu from you to sell in the village in hopes of earning some money.”

“Secondly, whether you grind a little tofu or a lot, you’re still grinding. Why not grind a little more? 1 can sell it in the village on weekdays. If we don’t manage to sell all of it in the village, your uncle can carry a basket and sell it house to house. This way, we can help you sell more, and you can earn a bit more.”

“However, after all this is said, we also want to make money for our own family. If you think it’s a good idea, let’s give it a try. If it’s not suitable, that’s okay, just let that idea pass.”

As she was proposing to use someone else’s business to make money for her own family, Mrs. He felt very embarrassed, and her eyes showed embarrassment as she spoke.

Zhuang Qingning blinked her eyes.

Before Mrs. He had arrived, she was just thinking about how to expand the sales of tofu. But now with Mrs. He’s suggestion, she had an idea.

Why wouldn’t she want to take upon an idea that not only expands her sales channel, but also offers some rewards to those who are kind to her?

“Auntie.”

Zhuang Qingning even smiled, “I won’t hide it from you, our tofu business is indeed doing quite well in the town market. Given the current trend, I have been thinking whether I should increase production, and also consider selling tofu in our village.”

“However, with just me and Qingsui at home, we can only manage one place. At present, we can barely manage the business in the town market, and we really can’t afford to sell tofu in the village. Originally, I’ve been thinking about finding a reliable and diligent person to help me with the tofu sales, and coincidentally, you’ve come.”
