The matter has been decided. Second Uncle did not invest, but he had insisted on lending the 500 yuan to them.
Su Mian thought that was enough and said, “I will make up the remaining 2000 yuan, don’t forget to give me the dividend by the end of the year.”
Everyone in the house was stunned at what she said.
Su Mian was still in high school, how would she have 2000 yuan?
In this time, 2000 yuan was not a small amount; a worker’s monthly wage was only in the tens.
Sure enough, Su Jiang Hai’s eyes widened. Su Mian did not have the gift money from Wei Zhen Hui, saying that she would not let them raise her for nothing. Besides, she never charged anyone for treating their illnesses and she was in school these two months, “Xiao Mian, where did you get so much money?”
Su Jiang Hai was most afraid of his daughter getting on the wrong path. If she had done something bad for money, he would break her leg.
Su Mian knew that he thought of something bad when she saw Su Jiang Hai’s expression, “Dad, look at you, thinking that I have robbed someone. The money is from Dean Li. I assisted him with a surgery a while back and the patient recovered nicely. The news spread and business in the hospital had improved, so Dean Li said if I keep helping out at the hospital he would share the profits with me.”
“But don’t worry, I only have one or two patients, and always on the weekend. I won’t neglect my studies,” Su Mian explained as she produced the agreement that was signed by Dean Li.
Su Jiang Hai was relieved when he saw the written proof, “Mischievous girl, how could you only tell us that now?”
Su Mian stuck out her tongue; if it weren’t for her Third Aunt, she didn’t plan to tell them at all.
At this moment Second Aunt slapped her thigh and said, “Aiya, I just thought of it. I went to the hospital to get some medicine a few days ago and heard a few nurses talking about a successful tumour removal surgery on a high school teacher performed by Dean Li. They were saying that he had a secret assistant and was guessing who this person was!”
Eldest Aunt also remembered, “I have heard of this too. At that time I thought that had nothing to do with me since my medicine was also expensive. I only realized now that it’s our Xiao Mian!”
With this, everyone believed it.
The entire family happily signed the shareholding agreement. Second Uncle was antsy. He believed that it would be a good decision to become a shareholder but he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Bai Yu Lan.
He couldn’t be bothered to think about her now. Not only had she not taught their two children properly, she didn’t even want to have dinner with his mother. After these incidents, he couldn’t face his siblings.
His youngest sister needed money urgently, if he wouldn’t help, who would still talk to him in the future?
Su Jiang Tao shook his head as he didn’t want to think about the matters at home. Just go with the flow! If the supermarket managed to turn a profit this year, it’s not too late for him and Bai Yu Lan to discuss and join them.
Su Jiang Hai sat down with Grandma Su and spent a long time flipping through the calendar. The upcoming auspicious day would be next Wednesday. They had four to five days to stock up.
The family had a lively meal. The aunts made meat dumplings and the fillings prepared by Su Mian’s Eldest Aunt was incredible.
Su Mian did not hold back. She finished a big plate of dumplings, about 20 in total. The food at school was bland and consisted mostly of vegetarian dishes which never changed for years. If it wasn’t tofu then it would be bean sprouts. There was a year when she only had cabbage the entire time. She as a girl could barely stand it, let alone the boys. She felt sorry for them.
