Sure to Make a Fortune

12/2/2025

The next day, the entire Haizi Village was filled with an atmosphere of joyous celebration.

Whether or not their families had children attending school, the villagers all got up early, washed up neatly, dressed in decent clothes, put down their farm work, and prepared to attend the opening ceremony of Haizi Village School.

Early in the morning, the village chief led everyone to clean the village roads because today not only students from their village were attending, but also students and parents from nearby villages and even surrounding areas.

As the sponsors of the school, the Su and Yuan families were naturally more attentive, with the whole family involved, each person taking it very seriously.

Early in the morning, Wu Caiwei's family arrived at Su Li's house.

Wu Caiwei, Zhang Mu, and Doctor Wu all wore new clothes, looking refreshed and spirited.

Su Li saw Wu Caiwei's rosy face and, smiling mischievously, teased, "Caiwei, your complexion looks so healthy. Did something happen last night, hmm?"

"Ah Li, why are you teasing me again!" Wu Caiwei said this, but as an experienced mother, she was not shy about such jokes with Su Li. Instead, she pulled Su Li aside and whispered, "Ah Li, I have some new picture books here. I'll bring them to you later for you to study."

The picture books Wu Caiwei mentioned were, of course, those... special pictures.

Su Li immediately blushed, trying to tease Wu Caiwei but ended up being teased herself!

Zhang Mu laughed as he walked over, and Su Li said, "Oh, the village chief has arrived!"

Zhang Mu laughed heartily and said, "The village chief said he sent the appointment documents yesterday, why hasn't there been any news?"

Su Li replied, "The village chief said the officials should have delivered the appointment documents by yesterday evening. Probably because the village chief was busy with school matters, he hasn't given them to you yet. We'll just ask him for them at the opening ceremony."

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Alright, the village chief is busy enough with the school matters. I won't bother him. I'll wait to ask him at the opening ceremony."

After having breakfast and tea at Su Li's house, the whole family left together and headed to the village.

The village was much livelier than usual, with many students and parents arriving. After walking for a while, Su Li saw a simple shade structure by the roadside with several tables set up, selling tea and homemade farmer's meals.

Sun Shi and Su Lanxiang were busy attending to customers inside the shade.

"Third Aunt, Lanxiang!" Su Li greeted them with a smile.

Sun Shi, seeing Su Li and her group arrive, hurriedly wiped her hands and smiled, "Ah Li, are you going to the school? I'll come over once I'm done here!"

"Oh, Third Aunt, are you selling food here?" Su Li looked at Sun Shi's stall, which was well-organized and doing good business.

Sun Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I thought since it's the school opening today, many people from outside would come. They can't go hungry, so I set up a stall in the village square to sell some food and tea. Every penny counts!"

Su Li gave a thumbs up to Sun Shi's business acumen. If this were modern times, she would definitely be a leader in rural tourism and surely make a profit.

"Third Aunt, you're really clever to seize this business opportunity. Third Uncle must be making a fortune marrying such a capable and virtuous wife!" Su Li noticed Sun Shi had homemade pickles and sausages at her stall, obviously for sale as well.

Sun Shi was delighted by Su Li's compliment. Seeing Sun Shi had many customers, Su Li said, "Third Aunt, you better attend to your customers. We'll head to the school first."

Some diners at the back were asking about buying sausages, so Sun Shi nodded at Su Li and quickly went to serve the customers.

Chen Shi watched Sun Shi busily working and praised, "Third Aunt really is quite capable."
