Chapter 470 Delivery? It's Not Even Safe During the Day, Let Alone at Night

"Mom, what are you talking about? You’re a huge help," Su He said with a smile.

Wu Yanhua smoothed her hair back shyly, grinning from ear to ear.

"You child, always know how to make me happy. But I haven’t really done anything. Shouldn’t Guoqing and his family get the money first?"

To be honest, the one who worked the hardest was indeed Fu Guoqing.

Although he had a truck and could take on side jobs, he hardly had any time to do so, as most of his time was spent helping Su He with deliveries.

A single trip from the village to the city took an entire day, and nobody in their right mind drove at night—it was just too dangerous.

Not only were the roads terrible and unlit, but these weren’t exactly safe times.

Delivery? It wasn’t even safe during the day, let alone at night.

The reason Fu Dajun had never had any trouble during all his time making deliveries was partly because they were familiar with the route to the city and could usually spot trouble coming.

Another reason was that their truck was large, and they rarely stopped for strangers. Even if they did stop, they never got out of the vehicle.

If they encountered anyone attempting to rob them, Su He and Fu Tinghua had instructed them to never show fear—just hit the gas and drive straight through. Otherwise, they would be the ones in danger.

Once, when Fu Guoqing was making a delivery alone, he encountered a group of people trying to steal the shipment.

Fu Dajun, seeing how many there were, immediately recognized their intentions and floored it, rushing past them before they could succeed.

Later, Fu Dajun told Fu Tinghua about the incident, and whatever Fu Tinghua did afterward, that group was never seen on that road again.

Another reason was that many people knew the goods belonged to Su He, and it was widely assumed she had people watching her back.

Word of past incidents spread from person to person, and naturally, no one dared to mess with them.

It was the combination of all these factors that allowed Fu Guoqing to complete so many deliveries without a hitch.

Moreover, whenever Fu Guoqing had free time, he would join in picking fruit and never slacked off on any tasks that needed doing.

He was the kind of eldest brother in the family who wasn’t one to nitpick.

In a way, Fu Guoqing was doing two people’s jobs.

Seeing how hard he worked, He Fangfang and Chen Sufen, who had once been jealous of Fu Guoqing’s ability to earn extra income with his truck, suddenly shut up and even felt secretly relieved that their own husbands didn’t know how to drive.

Su He had seen how things were playing out and said with a smile, "Eldest Brother really has been working very hard, both helping out and driving."

Hearing his name mentioned, Fu Guoqing was caught off guard before replying earnestly, "It’s nothing, really. I just hate sitting around. It’s all good—the hardest-working person here is you, Su He. You’re in the thick of everything."

Hearing this, everyone chimed in, "Yes, yes."

Su He glanced around at everyone before saying with a smile, "As a driver, being well-rested is crucial. And Eldest Brother mostly delivers alone, which is really tough."

When Chen Sufen heard Su He’s words, she got a guilty conscience for some reason.

She felt Su He was calling her out without saying it—after all, she had often been on her husband Fu Derong’s case to get a driver’s license, afraid that Fu Guoqing might get one over on them and wanting the same for herself.

Her little scheme hadn’t slipped past Su He, nor had it gotten past Fu Dajun and Wu Yanhua.

However, although the third son’s wife is a bit shrewd, she’s reasonable.

She may be dissatisfied, but she won’t actually cause any trouble; at most, she just grumbles or vents her frustrations to Fu Derong.

After all, if a couple wants to talk among themselves, it’s not like Wu Yanhua and the others can stop them, right?

But even Su He, who doesn’t come home often, has noticed this. It seems the third son’s wife still needs a gentle reminder, otherwise small conflicts might accumulate and turn into big ones.

"Mom, take it, hurry up. We’re all waiting to get paid too," Fu Ziyao’s words once again got everyone excited.

"Yeah, Mom, take the money first. Su He is right—money’s only real when it’s in your own pocket," Fu Derong also urged.

With her sons saying this, Wu Yanhua didn’t feel like pretending anymore. She wiped her hands on her clothes one more time before taking the money from Su He.

"Oh my god, I... is this money really mine?" Wu Yanhua asked excitedly.

"It’s yours. Take it; show it to Dad," Su He said with a smile.

While they were chatting, Fu Tinghua had already finished counting two more bundles of money.

Su He turned to Fu Tinghua and asked, "How many times did you count it?"

Fu Tinghua glanced up at her and answered dutifully, "Twice."

"Alright!" Since he’d counted it twice, there was no need for her to count it again.

Su He picked up the second stack of money and said with a smile, "Here, Eldest sister-in-law, this is for you."

Zhang Xiaohua abruptly stood up, but realizing what she had done, she sat back down, embarrassed, and said, "Let Guoqing collect it."

"Wife, you go collect it. Does it matter whether you go or I go?" Fu Guoqing gently patted Zhang Xiaohua’s head, with a tender smile.

A bit embarrassed but under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Xiaohua went up to Su He and took the money.

"Thank you, Su He," she said earnestly, looking at Su He.

"This wasn’t just my doing. What I want to say is, no matter what we do in the future, it will require everyone’s hard work to succeed. Now that we’re making money, everyone is happy, and you might feel more motivated and energized going forward. But just in case—I mean, just in case—we have a project that doesn’t make money, or doesn’t make as much as this time, I hope everyone won’t get discouraged or negative. As a family, if we work together, united as we are now, we can succeed in anything we do."

Seizing the moment, Su He gave everyone a pep talk and served a little tough love.

Sure enough, next year, whatever project she wanted to pursue, the Fu family would fully support her.

"Su He, whatever you want to do, we’ll listen to you, really."

"Yeah, we’ll all listen to you."

The Fu family started chiming in again, but when Su He picked up the third stack of money, everyone quieted down.

"Second sister-in-law, this is for you," Su He said to He Fangfang with a smile.

He Fangfang shyly glanced at her husband, Fu Ziyao, and after he nodded, she went up to Su He without fuss to collect the money.

"Thank you, Su He," He Fangfang said quietly before looking up at Su He’s face.

Su He was so pretty, so articulate, and, more importantly, she really knows how to make money.

He Fangfang had always admired Su He.

Initially sold on Su He because she’s so persuasive, she is now won over all over again by Su He’s business acumen.
