76 Do Not Believe Rumors

Su Binglan’s smile was incredibly bright and moving. Many were dazzled by her beauty and were shocked momentarily.

Moreover, the coarse clothes could not hide her temperament. Her ordinary clothes looked especially good, even if they felt different.

“Y-Yeah, those might be rumors.”

“We’ve only heard of those things but never seen them before.”

“D-Don’t mind what we just said just now, Miss Binglan.”

Su Binglan smiled and shook her head. “I-It’s okay. I know none of you had ill intentions. Also, I’ll often set up a stall, so I need everyone’s support. Still, the food will remain delicious, and I can guarantee you will all feel better after eating them.”

The townsfolk felt calm whenever they heard Su Binglan speak.

“Of course! Last night, I gave my daughter some candied chestnuts, and she said they were delicious. She wants more.”

“Hahaha, you’re right. This tofu thing is new too, and I can taste its fragrance. I couldn’t help but want to buy more.”

“I just don’t know if it should be cheaper.”

Su Binglan listened to everyone’s feedback and said, “I will give everyone more if you continue to support my stall.”

“Wow! Thank you for your generosity, Miss Binglan!”

Everyone chatted and laughed that morning as the tofu quickly sold out.

The morning progressed and soon welcomed daybreak, and more people were on the streets. Every shop was open, and more people were on the pier.

Everyone smelled the fragrance of tofu and asked around. Then more people came over to buy tofu. However, there was only one piece of tofu left.

Suddenly, someone ran over. “D-Do you sell tofu here, Miss?”

Su Binglan looked at the panting woman and asked, “Do you want to buy some, Madam?”

The woman panted and said, “Y-Yes. My neighbor bought some and ate it with some rice. It was fragrant, and the smell was so tempting. I just had to buy some for myself. I asked around, and everyone said the tofu was delicious, so I came over right away. Do you have some more?”

Su Binglan revealed a regretful smile and said, “I’m sorry, Madam. I’ve sold all of my tofu.”

The woman didn’t give up. She said, “I-I see you still have another piece there.”

Su Binglan said somewhat embarrassedly, “Um, this piece is for my workers, so I can’t sell it.”

The woman was severely disappointed, “B-But…”

Su Binglan said gently, “Madam, you can come here again tomorrow morning if you want some. I’ll set up the stall in the same place at the same time.”

The woman’s eyes lit up. “O-Okay! I will return early tomorrow morning. You must keep some for me, okay?!”

“Don’t worry. I will surely keep some for you!”

Only then did the woman feel relieved as she carried her basket and left.

Then Su Binglan cut the remaining piece of tofu into three pieces and gave them to Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan.

“B-Boss…” Lin Zheng was stunned.

‘She didn’t sell this piece of tofu because she wanted us to have it.’

Su Binglan stuffed the tofu into the trio’s hands and said, “You guys haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I know you must be tired from working all morning. Take the tofu home and eat it. You can have it as is or stir-fry it with some vegetables.”

Lin Zheng was stunned, and his eyes turned red because that was the first time someone cared about him and treated him well. His parents only cared about his elder brother and never Lin Zheng. They never even cared whether or not he had breakfast. Still, he never expected his boss to do him that kindness.
