He Changming’s eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he snorted unhappily,
“Foolish. Utterly ignorant.”
“Very few men are like you, Big Brother.” He Yulan admired her brother from the bottom of her heart. He was capable, responsible, and humble. He was smart and always kept a cool head. Only someone like Su Xiu would be worthy of her brother.
“Then think of a way to introduce someone to my second aunt.”
“Puchi…” He Yulan burst into laughter. Seeing her brother so impatient for the first time had been an eye-opener. “I don’t know any outstanding young men either! Besides, stepping on Su Wen’s toes isn’t a good idea. I won’t know how to appease her if I make her unhappy.”
Su Wen’s might was deeply ingrained in her mind, having witnessed it on several recent occasions. Many other villagers shared her sentiments.
The current Su Wen was different from the past.
After Su Xiu got home, she told Su Wen about her encounter with He Changming in the village. Although she had not spoken much to He Changming, she had a deep impression of him. In the past, when she worked in the fields with Yulan, she would always hear Yulan boast about her older brother and how great he was.
Things like how all the young girls in the village idolized him or how well-liked he was.
But this was Su Xiu’s first time hearing that if a girl had feelings for a young man, she would pick a bouquet and give it to the man she loved.
If he reciprocated those feelings, the young man would give her a basket of wild fruits in return.
It had to be a new tradition; otherwise, she would have heard about it. According to Yulan, many girls would place flowers for her older brother outside their house every morning.
As her brother grew older, so did the number of flowers.
At that time, Su Xiu had been skeptical, wondering how someone could be so popular. She even suspected that Yulan was bragging. It was only much later that she discovered Yulan had not been exaggerating. Even Big Sister thought highly of Yulan’s older brother after doing business with him.
With her older sister’s endorsement, there was no reason for her not to think well of Yulan’s brother.
Su Wen put down the pair of scissors she held. “Did you say He Yulan’s older brother visited?”
“That’s right! I met him on the way back. He was looking for Yulan out in the fields. ”
Su Wen frowned upon hearing her sister mention He Yulan so casually. “When did you start calling Yulan by name?
“Oh! Yulan said I could. She doesn’t want me to address her as Sister Yulan.’
Su Wen had merely asked the question since it popped to mind. However, upon hearing Xiuxiu’s explanation, she felt something amiss. “When did this happen? Was it before or after you proposed the partnership?”
Why would He Yulan make such a request?
Su Xiu was not wrong to call He Yulan by name. They were a tight-knit community, and everyone knew everyone else.
“It was before, I think. Is there something wrong, Big Sister?”
“No, it’s nothing. I’m probably overthinking things.” Su Wen mulled over the issue briefly before saying, “How about this? Go to He Yulan’s house and invite He Changming to our house for a meal. Say something to the effect that I would like to discuss the details of our future cooperation with him.”
He Changming could provide her with top-quality furs. She needed a steady source of fur, leather, and other raw materials to continue making branded bags, using them as a base for her business.
She had to ensure her supplier supplied to her exclusively and no one else.
Su Wen knew she had to buy him out for her plans to succeed, cutting off potential business rivals before they became a nuisance. Once she gained some
fame, people would think of any means to imitate or produce counterfeits there was nothing she could do to stop this.
What she could do, however, was cut off the supply before her ideas gained traction with her future competitors. In that way, no one could pass off their goods as hers, especially if the quality of the leather was not up to par..
