Chapter 1270: Chapter 1264: Almost a Bookworm_1 Chapter 1270: Chapter 1264: Almost a Bookworm_1 Qin Lei’s family of three walked home with the ingredients for their food stall the next day. Their business was doing really well due to the loyal customer base they built in the previous year. Not only did they retain these customers, but their business had grown significantly this year.

Many of their customers praised them for their honesty and commitment to using high-quality ingredients, never cutting corners. This positive word-of-mouth marketing did wonders for their reputation and brought in many new customers.

Many people from around the neighborhood envied their booming business. However, their envy was in vain because the honesty and integrity of Qin Lei’s family were unbeatable. The cleanliness of their stall also reinforced their customers’ trust.

This was the key to their growing popularity in the neighborhood. Attempts had been made to sabotage their business, but all were thwarted by Cheng Kunmin. Eventually, Cheng Kunmin issued a stern warning to those unscrupulous elements, making them aware of the serious consequences if these tricks continued.

Having come from humble beginnings themselves, Cheng Kunmin and his crew knew the ins and outs of the local landscape very well.

Upon hearing Cheng Kunmin’s stern warning, those troublemakers backed down and stopped causing any further disruptions, enabling their business to continue smoothly.

Qin Lei’s family was considering expanding by letting Cheng Kunmin manage a night market. They had tested him and trusted him enough for this task. They intended to offer him 30% of the nightly earnings while covering the cost of the ingredients and techniques, leaving the rest of the management up to him.

Cheng Kunmin and his team were deeply touched by this proposition. He considered Qin Lei’s family as his benefactors, crediting his job with them for his improved social status and his marriage. This proposition not only tugged at his heartstrings but also motivated him to work harder.

Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan chose not to share these conversations with their younger daughter, Jiale. They merely expected her to concentrate on her studies and aim for a good university, leaving the rest to them to handle.

“Mom, have we received a letter from my sister yet?” asked Jiale, recalling her sister’s promise to send her a letter, which she had yet to receive.

“We also haven’t gotten a letter from them,” replied Nangong Shulan, after giving it some thought. “They may have written it, but perhaps it just hasn’t arrived yet.”

She knew that her older daughter had planned to go to S Province to restock their shop and then return to the Imperial Capital. She assumed that her daughter would write the letter once they got back to the Imperial Capital, meaning that it was probably still in transit.

“That must be it, my sister promised to send me study materials, she wouldn’t go back on her word.” Jiale was eager for these study materials as they would help her achieve her academic goals.

“You’re turning into a bookworm. You should set some time aside to have fun,” Qin Lei worried that his daughter was becoming too engrossed in her studies, spending all her time studying and hardly going out to socialize with friends.

“Dad, most parents wish their children were more diligent. It’s strange that you’d rather have me play than study,” Jiale responded, surprised by her father’s sentiment.

“Their kids can afford to play because they usually don’t study hard enough. Can they be compared to you? I fear you might become too engrossed in your books and burn yourself out,” Nangong Shulan also voiced her concern about their daughter’s unwavering commitment to her studies.
