Su Binglan got down to brass tax and immediately discussed business. After hearing her words, Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li finally returned to their senses. The couple was dumbfounded and could not believe that Su Binglan had come to visit them personally.
The couple felt overwhelmed when they returned to their senses. “M-Miss Su, come and sit.”
“Quick, get Miss Su some water.”
Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li ran around frantically. When Miss Li invited Su Binglan to sit, she feared the stool would be too dirty and used a cloth to wipe it. However, she had already wiped it in the morning.
Still, Miss Li feared she could not satisfy Su Binglan’s needs. After all, Su Binglan had gone to their house. If news of it spread to the villagers, they would be envious.
The people of Willow Village knew their lives would improve if Su Binglan associated herself with them. That was because Su Binglan was a highly capable person.
Although the Willow villagers had never witnessed Su Binglan’s capabilities in person, hearing it was enough.
Everyone knew it was good enough for their families to be able to eat their fill. That was why they knew Su Binglan was competent, not to mention the Liu family.
Liu Yinyin’s family led barely ordinary lives but had learned how to make duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings. Then they opened a shop in town and could even afford an oxcart.
Everyone knew the Liu family had benefited from Liu Yinyin because her sister-in-law was Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at the older couple’s awkward expressions and hurriedly waved. “Mr. Zhenggang, Miss Li, please sit. We have things to discuss.”
“Y -Yes, Miss Su.” The older couple could not help but listen whenever Su Binglan spoke, so they hurriedly sat down. The older couple dared not sit on the stools fully and sat on the edge instead.
They looked at Su Binglan quietly and listened attentively. Su Binglan did not even know she had a convincing demeanor. People would simply listen to her whenever she spoke.
Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were stunned at what they saw. They knew Su Binglan had an imposing yet kind demeanor about her.
Su Fengzhang rubbed his nose. He was elder, but Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li treated him differently than his niece. It made him think of how commoners would look whenever they saw officials walking around.
“You don’t have to be nervous, Mr. Zhenggang and Miss Li. I’ve heard about your situation from my uncle and elder cousin,” Su Binglan said.
Miss Li hurriedly responded, “We’re not nervous, Miss Su. We’re only afraid we can’t entertain you well since you’re our guest. We didn’t expect you to visit us.
We haven’t even poured you any water.”
Su Binglan chuckled when she heard Miss Li’s words. She felt the older couple’s kindness.
‘However, such people would get easily deceived.’
Her expression turned cold when she thought of that, but she softly spoke when she faced Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li, “I heard someone gave you a jade pendant. Can you show it to me? We might be able to find some clues.”
Tao Zhenggang nodded. “I’ll show it to you now.”
He stood up to search for it but had not even started to think yet.
“You don’t even know where you put it, do you? I put it there.” Miss Li stood up and quickly went to find the pendant. “Miss Su, we took the pendant to the pawn shop, but the manager said it was a fake with no value.”
Su Binglan took the pendant and looked at it. “Miss Li, we think the person who gave you the pendant in the first place still has the original. Since he carries it with him and says it’s his mothers heirloom, it must be important.
“Since it’s worth a few thousand silver taels, that person must still have it. Even if he isn’t, the pendant belongs to someone close to him. She should be able to find some clues based on the pendant. I’ll watch for him since we might see him around.”
Miss Li said gratefully and emotionally, “Thank you so much, Miss Su!”
No one else was willing to care about such a thing, but Su Binglan said she would help the older couple look out for the scammer.
‘Miss Su is such a good-hearted person.’
Su Binglan took a piece of charcoal and paper, saying, “Mr. Zhenggang, Miss
Li, do you remember what that person looked like?”
Miss Li felt sad whenever she thought of those things. Her tears threatened to flow down her cheeks again. She wiped her eyes and said, “Of course, we remember him, Miss Su. How can we forget such a terrible person?
“If he had such an expensive pendant, why would he cheat us of so many clay pots? We dug the soil ourselves and bought pine wood with our savings. We worked hard for a long time, but that person took our pots without paying.”
Miss Li did not tell anyone else about this and did not know why she could not restrain herself from telling Su Binglan. Maybe she instinctively poured her heart out.
Su Binglan said softly, “Tell me about that person. Maybe I can draw what he looks like.”
Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li were stunned.
‘She can draw what he looks like? We can report that person to the authorities if Miss Su could do that.’
Even Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian’s eyes widened in surprise. They had never heard of Su Binglan’s ability to draw.
‘She can draw someone based on their descriptions?
‘Only a government official can do that, right?’
Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li returned to their senses and quickly described the person’s appearance to Su Binglan. Then Su Binglan started to draw according to their descriptions.
After drawing a person’s appearance, she asked Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li, “Is this the person?
The couple was so shocked that their mouths fell wide open. They could not believe what they were seeing.
“T-That’s him, Miss Su! Your drawing is spot on. You even got his pronounced mole correct!”
“I’ll report it to the authorities and get them to catch this person,” Su Binglan said. She was furious and would not let such a terrible person off so easily.
She did not like meddling in other people’s businesses. Still, she wanted to cooperate with the older couple for her business, so she would help them, no matter what.
Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li did not know how to thank Su Binglan, so they prepared to kneel before her. However, Su Binglan hurriedly told them to get up.
“Mr. Zhenggang, Miss Li, I’m here to discuss your pottery business.”
“Miss Su, please tell us what you need,” Miss Li said without hesitation, “We’ll do whatever you want us to do, but we might not be able to afford pine wood for now.”
Miss Li felt ashamed when she mentioned that. She said she would help Su Binglan with the pots and jars, but she and her husband could not make anything without resources. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot..
