Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 147: Her Small Business Could Finally be Done Openly

Xia Weiguo pushed Qin Kaize, accompanying Su Yijia along with her grandparents to the supply and marketing cooperative. On the way, they happened to run into Gao Huabin, who was on his way back.

Upon hearing that they were going to help the elderly couple purchase daily necessities, he quickly put away the vegetables he had bought and joined them.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin had lived on the farm for twenty years, and they had never had enough to eat, let alone any savings. So, no matter what Su Yijia wanted to buy for them, they were trying to dissuade her. After refusing several times, Qin Kaize mentioned that he, as their future son-in-law, wanted to show his respect, and that’s when they finally accepted the items.

The items were taken to the small building, and Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin immediately went to see their daughter. Seeing the white bones in the coffin, they couldn’t hold back and knelt down together.

"My precious Baozhu! It’s your mother’s fault, I shouldn’t have let you marry that scoundrel." Grandma Lin clutched the edge of the coffin and cried, gasping for breath.

While Grandpa Lin didn’t say a word, tears streamed down his face.

Xia Weiguo wanted to comfort them but was stopped by Su Yijia. "Uncle Xia, let my grandparents cry for a while. They need to let out their emotions. I’ll watch over them."

The pain of losing a child was unimaginable. In an era forty years ago, with only one daughter, Su Yijia’s mother must have been incredibly cherished. This level of grief couldn’t be alleviated with a few words of comfort.

Su Yijia reached into her bag and pulled out some strands of ginseng root. Once the sobbing of Grandpa and Grandma Lin began to subside, she fed them each two strands.

"Grandpa and Grandma, these are hundred-year-old ginseng roots. Put them under your tongue for a while," she said with concern as she looked at the two elderly people to make sure they were okay.

Upon hearing that they were hundred-year-old ginseng roots, Grandpa and Grandma Lin quickly placed the items under their tongues. However, their expressions showed a hint of discomfort, as it pained them to use such precious items. They were too old to deserve such valuable supplements. After about ten minutes, the elderly couple’s discomfort faded, and they were back to normal.

"Alright, let’s go and pack up the things," Grandpa Lin helped Grandma Lin up from the ground and spoke with a stable emotional tone. While they couldn’t accept what had happened to their daughter, they still had their granddaughter to care for. Their granddaughter was the child of their precious Baozhu, and they would love her just as deeply.

The items they had bought were plenty, including things needed by the elderly couple and some items for Su Yijia’s upcoming wedding. Coal-burning stoves, kettles, thermos flasks, enamelware bowls, and other things were placed in the kitchen. Both Qin Kaize and Xia Weiguo noticed the two little gadgets on the countertop.

Qin Kaize’s gaze turned dark, and he couldn’t help but wonder who had come into the house. What was their purpose?

Su Yijia, seeing Qin Kaize’s reaction, quickly explained, "These things are mine. I ordered them from someone. It’s just that I thought about the daily expenses, and I wanted to make something to sell. This one is for pressing peanut oil, and the other is for pressing corn oil. I had someone collect crops from villagers in the village, and I can make a profit from it. I’m just not strong enough to do it myself, but I plan to gather the medicine these days to increase my strength and produce more in the future."

She concealed her pride and casually mentioned her small business. She had prepared these tools in advance, and now she could calmly share her plans. She didn’t fear anything anymore; there was no such thing as impenetrable secrecy.

"Sis-in-law, for this kind of work, you should call me, Ke Zeming, and Zhu Zirui. The three of us are strong, and we can help you with the pressing," Gao Huabin quickly offered their labor.

Su Yijia smiled with a hint of amusement, "You’re always taking care of Kaize, and Ke Zeming and Zhu Zirui have their own jobs. I can’t trouble you guys just for this."

Gao Huabin patted his chest and said, "There’s nothing we can’t do. We may not have much else, but we have the most strength. It’s not a bother at all."

Xia Weiguo chimed in, "That’s right, Yijia. If you ever find something challenging, just let us know. As long as it’s something you want to do, we’ll help you get it done."

This was something Qin Kaize should be doing, but given his current condition, by all means Xia Weiguo didn’t want to let Yijia feel things could not be done since her man was in bad shape.

"Alright, then if I need to press oil in the future, I’ll call you all. The four of us together will definitely make a good profit," Su Yijia agreed, making it sound like she was doing them a favor.

Little did they know, she had her own plans. With only two medicinal herbs left for the Great Strength Pills, she needed to hurry. Her grandparents had returned, and the disciplinary officer might get wind of it. When that happened, her identity would also be exposed. Who knew if that man, after twenty years of dominating, would become even more insane.

"Okay, let’s go back and prepare lunch. After eating, we can come back and continue cleaning and organizing," Su Yijia said, looking at the time. It was getting late. Wherever they had lunch didn’t matter, but the most important was Qin Kaize’s congee. She had spent five hours cooking it last night to ensure it had the perfect texture and nutrition.

The hot weather made it unsuitable to store the congee in a thermos flask for too long while they were out for a couple of hours. Instead, they kept it in the Qin family’s refrigerator and reheated it as needed, which was just the right amount for two days.

When the group returned to the Qin family’s house, they found the table that had been set up in the yard, with Qin’s mother, Qin’s father, Qin’s grandmother, and Su Xinyue all seated around it.

Upon seeing them return, Qin’s mother put on a warm smile and said, "Oh my, why are you back so late? I thought you’d be having lunch outside today, so we decided to eat in the yard. You can wait for us to finish if you like."

While her words seemed polite on the surface, it was clear to everyone that the people on their side didn’t want anything to do with the Qin family and were avoiding sitting with them.

Su Yijia shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You can keep eating. We’ll have our meal in the living room. It’s not a big deal."

It was just a place to eat, after all. They had chosen to eat elsewhere because the three people from the Qin family were in the living room, and they didn’t want to upset their appetites by seeing the three.

"Feel free to keep eating, you won’t have to worry about being late for anything anymore," Xia Weiguo said with a cold, piercing gaze that cut through the Qin family members.
