In their backyard, a multitude of banana trees flourished. With a sickle in hand, the brother and sister skillfully severed the withered banana leaves. Su Ning took charge of removing the leaves from the stems.

The siblings worked harmoniously, their efforts in sync.

In a hushed tone, Su Cheng asked his sister, “Do you think we can make some money tomorrow?”

A glimmer of excitement danced in Su Ning’s eyes. “Absolutely! Remember how delicious those egg pancakes were? I can’t get the taste out of my mind!”

“I’m willing to bet that once someone takes a bite, they’ll want a second, a third, and even a fourth piece!”

“But I worry that we won’t have enough to sell,” Su Cheng confessed, his mouth watering at the memory of the previous day’s egg pancakes.

“Don’t fret, I’ll lend a hand. We’ll manage,” Su Ning assured him.

After a while, Su Cheng inquired, “So, does this mean she agreed to help us reclaim the contract?”

Su Ning pondered for a moment. “I’m not certain yet, but let’s set that aside for now. Let’s focus on how much money we can make tomorrow.”

She had already calculated their potential earnings in her mind.

Fifth Brother’s vegetables remained unsold; no one showed interest in buying them for 2 wen per 500 grams. They might have to lower the price to 1 wen per 500 grams.

However, if they took one bag of vegetables and combined it with 500 grams of flour, a few eggs, and some lard, they could fry dozens of vegetable pancakes.

They could easily sell each pancake for over 100 wen.

And the initial investment would only cost them 20 wen.

What a lucrative opportunity it turned out to be!

Qin Zhenzhen’s matter was resolved satisfactorily.

If they started early in the morning and had a successful day of sales, they could acquire at least 10 kilograms of flour.

The profit margin would be around three liang.

In addition to their initial investment, they had an extra two liang.

Even more significant was the fact that they had discovered a path to financial stability for Su Ning and her brother.

Su Ning had exceptional culinary skills, and now that she had separated from Su Bin, they could set up a food stall every day, escaping their previously miserable existence.

But there was an underlying motive driving Su Ning as well.

She intended to sell various seasonings alongside their food.

The following morning, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning gathered the necessary items to display on their stall.

Su Cheng had a backup plan in mind.

If the vegetable pancakes didn’t sell well, he would continue selling packets of vegetables. However, if the pancakes turned out to be popular, he would be there to assist them.

Qin Zhenzhen’s family owned a pork store, which served as her own business establishment. Qin Dalong and Qin Erlong, occupied with selling pork, were taken aback to see them.

“Zhenzhen, what are you doing? Are you selling vegetables for them?” Qin Dalong asked, surprised.

“The prices for vegetables are quite low nowadays, and they’re being sold everywhere on the streets. You don’t have to put yourself through this,” Qin Erlong added.

“You don’t need to worry about money. I’ll give you some pocket money later,” Qin Dalong assured her.

Qin Zhenzhen was deeply moved.

Her brothers treated her with such kindness. What was even more remarkable was that her two sisters-in-law treated her well too. Even if she didn’t contribute much at home, they never gave her a hard time.

Being the only girl in the family, she was cherished by everyone. The whole family believed that she was destined to lead her own family to prosperity.

Hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s brother’s words, Su Ning and Su Cheng felt a bit embarrassed.

Qin Zhenzhen proceeded to share their plan with her brothers. However, Qin Dalong was the first to object.

“No, that would be too exhausting for you! You shouldn’t be exposing yourself like this, and the earnings wouldn’t be substantial either.”

“Do you need money? If you do, just tell me. Don’t worry, I’ll give you some pocket money,” he insisted.

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “I’m not in need of money. I still have my dowry.”

“I just want to find something to do and earn money to prove that I’m capable of anything..”
