“Since you know that I’m making white sugar, you should have guessed that I’ll definitely turn this into a business in the future.” Gu Yundong said, “How about this? Since you have no use for the silver, I’ll use this silver as a share for you. When the time comes, I’ll give you ten, no, twenty percent of the profits from selling white sugar. How about that?”

She thought for a moment and added, “But it’s just the sugar business. If I have other businesses in the future, you won’t have a share.”

Gu Yundong had thought about it. She was the only one who knew how to refine white sugar. She had a lot of things to do. In the future, she would have to make dried sweets and fruits. She would have to find someone she could trust to share the burden.

Shao Qingyuan was alone without any relatives or friends. Moreover, he was brave and resourceful. He was not a soft-hearted person. Most importantly, she realized that this person had a tacit understanding with her. Working with such a person would save her a lot of trouble.

Most importantly, she realized that Shao Qingyuan was very obedient.

Of course, there was also her hidden selfishness.

Shao Qingyuan was stunned. He didn’t expect her to make such a suggestion to involve him in what she was doing.

He clenched his fists by his side, as if he was trying his best to control the emotions in his eyes.

Seeing that he did not speak in a long time, Gu Yundong asked softly, “Uh, do you think it’s too little? Then…”

“1O%.” Shao Qingyuan suddenly looked up and interrupted her. “10% is enough.”

“Isn’t it a little too little?” Why did she feel an inexplicable sense of guilt?

“It’s enough. It’s enough.” His eyes were bright as he looked at Gu Yundong and smiled. “In the future, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” There was no need to find an excuse.

Gu Yundong was speechless. These words sounded strange.

But the matter was settled. Gu Yundong received eight hundred taels of silver and signed an agreement with Shao Qingyuan.

Gu Yundong immediately went to the neighboring village and bought the 50 acres of fruit forest.

The crops in the field were indeed not good. She did not know how the landlord planted them.

As the landlord was in a hurry, and very few people could buy 50 acres of land in one go, Gu Yundong’s glib tongue kept lowering the price. In the end, they agreed on eight taels per acre, which cost her 400 taels.

Gu Yundong felt that this money was really easy to go. It went out in a flash.

She asked Shi Dashan to help find fruit trees suitable for planting. She did not plan to plant sugarcane in these 50 acres.

Once everything was settled, Gu Yundong focused on making sugar again.

Liu Wei came again every two days to check on the progress, but he was chased away by Gu Yundong. “If you come here every day, what if the Tao family finds out that something is wrong? If you expose white sugar in advance, you will lose your bet.”

Liu Wei suddenly reacted. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I’ll go back now. When I go back, I’ll pretend that I’m at my wits’ end and fly into a rage. I’ll let them be smug for a few days.”

With that, he hurried home.

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Now that she was working with Shao Qingyuan, she naturally handed him the method to make sugar.

Since Shao Qingyuan dared to hand over all his assets to her, Gu Yundong naturally would not let him down. There was no need to hide the method of making sugar.

It had to be said that Shao Qingyuan got the hang of it much faster than her.

With his help, their speed became much faster.

After another day, Gu Yundong carried more than 20 catties of white sugar to the county city..
