Su Wenwu followed his sisters request and cut all the vegetables and things needed for the vegetable balls into the basin.
Su Binglan said, “You did a good job, Third Brother. Stir it a little more.”
She began seasoning the ingredients as Su Wenwu stirred them together. Afterward, she continued stirring them.
At that time, Su Fengmao had already heated the pot. “I’ve heated the pot, Binglan. Should we add oil now?
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, Father. You can add oil now.”
Su Fengmao took out a barrel of oil and poured it into the pot.
Su Binglan noticed her father’s posture and hurriedly stopped him, saying, “There’s no need for so much oil, Father. Just a little will do. Here, let me handle it.”
Su Fengmao handed the oil barrel to his daughter and said, “Don’t be frugal,
Daughter. We made that oil from peanuts, so we’ll have enough to last a year. We should have enough. We can also buy more oil, even if we don’t.”
The family was well-off and was willing to use more oil.
Su Wenwu noticed his father’s reaction and the corner of his mouth twitched. In the past, Su Fengmao would not even be willing to use a drop of oil for the vegetables. Su Wenwu remembered it like it was yesterday.
Ads by Pubfuture When he was a child, the family would have a delicious meal if there were even a drop of oil in it. He became emotional when he thought about what they were eating now.
Su Wenwu still thought this was not real. ‘They made that oil from peanuts?’
Su Binglan took the barrel and poured the oil into the pot. Then she put some meatballs into it. She turned them repeatedly when they turned brown on one side. Afterward, she removed the balls from the oil.
After the color of the explosion changed, Su Binglan took it out again.
“They smell so good!” Su Wenwu smelled the fragrance and gulped his saliva.
Su Wenwu worked harder. Even though he overate, he would get hungry again quickly.
Su Binglan looked at her third brother and found it funny. “Third brother, go and get some chopsticks. You can try the meatballs first. Let Father, Mother, and Second Brother have a taste too.”
Su Wenwu did not argue and used his chopsticks to pick up the meatballs.
However, he knew to give them to his parents first.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “You can eat first. Don’t worry about me since we’ll eat soon too. Don’t forget your sister.”
Su Wenwu picked up the meatballs and handed them to Su Binglan. Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Third brother, you can just eat. We’re a family, so you don’t have to feel shy.”
Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu prepared to taste the meatballs. Su Wenwu took a big bite and said, “Ah! It’s still hot!”
The meatball had just come out of the pot and was still hot to the touch, so he spun on the ground as his mouth whistled. Soon after, the meatball cooled down, and he began to chew.
Su Binglan looked at her third brother’s expression and asked, “How does it taste, Third Brother?”
Ads by Pubfuture Although she was confident in her culinary skills, she still wanted to know what her family thought. Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up as he kept nodding, “It’s so delicious!
He was still chewing on the meatball as he spoke, looking like he was enjoying himself. Everyone laughed when they saw him like that.
“It seems like it’s truly delicious. We can also make more meatballs and vegetable meatballs next time.”
Su Binglan was more willing to cook because her family liked eating her dishes. Still, it was best to eat alongside everyone, as eating alone would make the food feel tasteless, no matter how good the cook was.
Su Binglan liked eating together as a family. After frying everything, she made tofu soup again. Everyone ate steamed buns and meatballs and then drank some soup. They all ate enthusiastically. @@novelbin@@
Su Wenxiu could not help but eat a lot more than the others. He ate until his stomach was full. “Ah, that was so delicious! Especially the meatballs.”
Su Binglan said, “You must season the ingredients well whenever you cook. That’s the secret to good food.”
Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu nodded simultaneously. Indeed, they followed their sister’s instructions when they cooked, but their seasoning still lacked control.
However, Su Binglan always knew what to do and could make her food tasty.
Su Fengmao liked eating spicy food. He thought the meatballs were delicious, but he liked dipping them in chili.
Su Binglan prepared the chili for him and placed it on the table. Su Fengmao dipped the meatballs into the chili and ate them. He thought they were equally delicious.
Su Wenwu also ate until he was full. “I get sleepy whenever I’m full.”
Su Wenxiu also felt sleepy, saying, “Me too. I’m always so energetic before eating but sleepy when I’m full.”

The new house’s main hall had a huge brick platform, and everyone could rest on it. There were also large round tables in the new house, so more people could sit around them and eat whenever they gathered.
Su Wenxiu looked at his sister and said, “Aren’t you going to rest too, Sister?”
Su Binglan shook her head. “I’m not sleepy. I still have to go to the mountain and pick soybeans.”
Su Wenxiu hurriedly responded, “I need to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to study.”
His sister was hard-working, so he knew he could not slack off.
“Aren’t you sleepy, Second Brother? Don’t you want to rest?”
“No, I was just saying that but I feel refreshed already,” Su Wenxiu walked toward the courtyard and felt refreshed when the wind blew, so how could he still feel sleepy?
Su Wenwu got down from the brick platform and said, “Let’s go to the mountain to pick soybeans together.”
One could not forget one’s roots, and one could not slack off just because one’s living conditions had improved. Su Wenwu always knew to remember how he lived before, so he treasured the life he had now even more.
He dared not slack off because he feared returning to how he lived before. He had to work hard to make life at home better.
After cleaning up the dishes, Su Binglan and her family carried big baskets on their backs and pushed a small cart to the mountain. It was just as Su Binglan had expected. Many soybeans had grown in the back of the mountain.
It was probably because the soybeans would fall to the ground when they ripened and then regrow automatically. Moreover, the land was vast, and there was a large area of soybeans.
Su Binglan and the others began to pick soybeans, and everyone brought a lot of things with them, like large sacks to put the soybeans. When the sacks got full, the family would put them into the small cart.
They collected six sacks in total. The family hooked some sacks onto the cart while tying the rest with ropes. Then Su Fengmao would push the cart back. The family only returned with a full load when it was dark.
When the four of them got home, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin returned with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai. Then Su Wenxiu also returned from Hundred Herb Hospital.
Su Wenzhe and his wife were still excited about their move to the new house.
When they saw Su Fengmao pushing the heavy cart, the duo hurriedly went to
Su Wenzhe quickly opened the door and helped his father push the cart into the house.. “Why are you pushing so much at once, Father? Aren’t you tired?”

After setting the cart aside, Su Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “I’m not that tired.”
There were many things in the cart, but he did not need to push it hard because he had control. Otherwise, it would flip over.
Su Fengmao did not feel tired because he knew how many soybeans they had and thought of how much tofu the family could make.
Su Wenwu and the others had also taken turns pushing the cart as they came down from the mountain, but Su Fengmao did not want his wife and daughter to strain themselves, so he and Su Wenwu took turns instead.
They used a simple cart then, which was a little more challenging to push. Su Binglan’s heart ached as she watched her father bend his waist and push the cart.
Although her father usually said he was not tired, she was the one who felt tired just by looking at him.
“Father and Mother, let’s rest before we do more work. Don’t tire yourselves out too much.”
Su Fengmao took a deep breath and said, “It’s fine. This little bit of work is nothing. Back then, I could carry many bags at once when I moved goods at the dock.
He seldom got tired then because he wanted to work daily and bring some copper coins home. He was capable and could earn some money for his family, as many could not do what he did since they did not have the strength. However, could not return to work at docks after severely injuring his foot.
Su Fengmao always said he was okay to comfort everyone. Still, they all felt uneasy whenever he said such things, especially when Su Binglan looked at him from behind.
Ads by Pubfuture Her father hunched his back while his shoulders were high, and the other was low when he walked. Su Binglan knew her father had grown accustomed to using his right hand and shoulder to carry things.
After a long time, Su Fengmao’s shoulder would have gotten used to staying in a raised position as it was slightly higher than his left shoulder.
Su Wenzhe’s eyes reddened slightly, “You’ve worked so hard in the past,
Father.”
“It wasn’t hard at all. I just wanted us to live good lives,” Su Fengmao did not think much of it then and, indeed, did not feel tired.
Everyone in the village was like that because they knew life was not free. Many villagers envied Su Fengmao for being able to work at the dock. They knew he could earn many copper coins daily, which would only add up by the end of the month.
When he severely injured his foot later on, the villagers felt sorry for him and visited him with the few spare things they had in their homes.
Su Fengmao remembered these things and knew he had suffered in the past. Hence, he would cherish his current life even more. In the past, he never imagined his family would have the life they have now.
The family could eat delicious foods, live in such a big house, and buy so much land. Therefore, he felt that pushing a cart was not tiring at all.
Moreover, he was working for himself. The more soybeans he and his family brought home, the more tofu they could make and the more money they could earn. He was just happy.
Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu were silent for a moment before Su Wenwu said, “I can still work, Father. I’ll go to the mountain and pick more soybeans later. The weather is good today, and the moon will shine brightly tonight.”
Su Wenzhe agreed, “That’s right, Father. I can go and help, too, since I’m back from work.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenxiu exclaimed, “I can do it too, Father!”
The Su brothers had grown up in the village and were unafraid of hard work. The trio insisted that their parents rest and look after Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai while they went to the mountain to continue picking soybeans.
It was very late at night when the trio returned home again. Their stomachs even growled with hunger, yet none felt tired—instead, they were excited because they had collected many soybeans.
Shen Qiuhua had already prepared dinner by making dumplings. She knew her children were tired, so she should at least make something delicious. She was not good at other things but knew how to make dumplings.
Many villagers had learned how to make dumplings from Shen Qiuhua. As time passed, she became increasingly skilled at making dumplings.
Her husband rolled the dumpling skins for her while she did the rest. Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai used small rolling pins to help roll the skins.
Although the two little ones rolled the skins very slowly, their grandmother @@novelbin@@
did not stop them from helping. Instead, she encouraged them since they were willing to do it. After all, it would help them develop the habit of being diligent.
When Su Binglan and the others returned from the mountain, Shen Qiuhua quickly went to the stove to cook.
Everyone ate a lot that night as they were exhausted and hungry. After eating, everyone went to their respective courtyards to rest. The courtyards were large, and they all had rooms attached to them.
Shen Qiuhua had prepared their beds, so they just went straight to sleep.
Su Wenxiu thought this was all surreal as he lay in his spacious room and looked around it. The room was big and was more than twice the size of the previous one.
Get Ready For More Personalised Recommendations Here Get Ready For More Personalised Recommendations Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture There was also a cabinet, desk, and wardrobe beside the bed. The house had wooden floors, so the family no longer sat on dirt. The roof over their heads was no longer beams with crevices but an entire ceiling.
This way, insects and other things would not fall on them. In the past, things would fall between the crevices when the family slept during the summer.
Su Wenxiu was initially sleepy, but after looking at these things, he became excited and could not fall asleep.
He got down from his bed and looked at his cabinet with a sliding door. He pulled it open and found his old clothes inside, along with two sets of new ones.
Su Wenxiu carefully removed them from the cabinet, tried them on, and gently felt the cloth. After feeling the cloth for a while, he smiled. Then he carefully folded his new clothes and put them back in the cabinet.
He also had a bench, but it looked different from an ordinary one. It was soft to sit on, and his sister said it had cotton on it. He felt very comfortable when he sat on the plush bench. He could even lean against its back and lie down.
His face appeared conflicted as he had so many new things. His courtyard was vast and had several rooms. If he got married and had kids in the future, he and his family could continue living there.
The more Su Wenxiu thought about it, the more excited he became. So that night, he slept very late, albeit smilingly.
Su Wenxiu was not the only one who could not fall asleep. Even Su Wenwu was excited and did not fall asleep until midnight.
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were amazed when they entered their room. “This is the dressing table I had mentioned. It’s gorgeous!” Liu Yinyin went up to touch it.
At that moment, Su Xuexuan ran over, “Look at my desk, Mom!”
He held his mother’s hand and wanted her to follow him to his room. He was still young, so he shared a room with his younger brother, Su Xuehai.
However, Liu Yinyin said that when he grew up, he could have his own room if he wanted. Still, the house had plenty of rooms for the whole family and more.
Su Xuexuan’s favorite thing in the house was his desk. Many books were on it, including pens, ink, paper, inkstones, candles, and oil lamps. He liked it so much that he dared not touch it. He could not wait to pull his parents over to
show them these things.
Liu Yinyin said smilingly, “Don’t worry. Your aunt knows you wanted a desk to study quietly, so she prepared it for you.”
Su Xuexuan was typically calm and reserved. He rarely showed such emotions but seemed to be thrilled..

Liu Yinyin knew Su Xuexuan loved to learn since she could teach him how to write when he was two. He would use a wooden stick to write on the ground as a daily practice.
Now that Su Xuexuan could go to school and have his own study, he felt thrilled and excited every day. He said thoughtfully, “I have to study hard, Mother.”
“Yes, but don’t overdo it. You’re still young and have to go to bed early,” Liu Yinyin was delighted when her son said those words, but she knew he was still young and did not want him to overdo it.
“Okay,” Su Xuexuan said as he sat on his heated bed and played with the blocks Su Binglan had made for him and his brother.
Liu Yinyin said, “You must remind your brother to go to bed early, too, understand?”
“Yes, Mom, I got it,” Su Xuehai’s voice was soft and cute, making his mother happy.
Liu Yinyin hugged him before putting him on the bed. Then she carefully looked around her children’s room and noticed how different the decoration style was.
There were wooden toys on the table for the children and some childlike pictures on the wall. Moreover, the wall’s color was a light blue, giving odd a different vibe.
Liu Yinyin knew her sister-in-law had put much effort into designing their new house. She looked at Su Xuehai and asked, “Do you like it here?”
Su Xuehai nodded vigorously, “Of course I do!”
Ads by Pubfuture It was good that the two little ones liked it. After giving them a few instructions, Liu Yinyin and her husband went to the next room to rest. The couple lay on the bed but could not fall asleep for a while.
Liu Yinyin looked at her husband and asked, “Are you asleep yet?”
Su Wenzhe was sleepy and almost fell asleep before replying, “Not yet, but I can’t fall asleep either. I keep thinking I’m dreaming since I’m so excited. I never expected to live in such a big and beautiful house.”
Even though he said he could not fall asleep, he was sleepy and was about to fall asleep after lying down. However, he heard his wife’s voice and became excited.
Liu Yinyin’s eyes lit up under the night sky. “I never expected that either, nor did I think of opening a tofu factory. I didn’t even dare to think about these things in the past.
“Yes, we’ll open a big tofu factory in the village soon, and your parents will help us keep an eye on it. Then we can set up our shop with peace of mind. I don’t know if it’s because of psychological effects, but I feel so full of energy now.” Even though they had been busy all day, she sometimes did not feel tired. That was because she was happy that they were making money. @@novelbin@@
Su Wenzhe said, “Me too. I’ve suffered in the past; I know it wasn’t easy. So now I’m thinking of working harder and improving our lives.”
Liu Yinyin reached out and held her husband’s hand. “Let’s do that together.”
“Okay,” Su Wenzhe looked at his wife and thought she had lost weight. “Did you lose weight? You’ve worked too hard recently, haven’t you?” He felt sorry for his wife.
Liu Yinyin shook her head and said, “No, I haven’t. I eat and sleep well daily, so I don’t think I lost any weight.”
She discreetly pinched her waist and thought she had gained weight instead. That was because the food they had now was better than last time. She could not help but overeat, so how could she not gain weight?
Fortunately, Su Wenzhe did not think she had gotten chubbier instead.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan and her family went out early and returned late to collect soybeans for a few days in a row.
Meanwhile, First Granduncle Su also took this time to tell the villagers about the land reclamation. The villagers became excited when he said he would pay everyone five coins daily.
A young man looked at Granduncle Su in disbelief. He asked, “Chief Su, is what you said true? Will we get five coins each day for helping with the land reclamation?
The young man’s name was Li Dazhuang. His parents had passed on when he was young, but his younger siblings were still around, so the family relied on him.
He worked very hard, but no matter how hard he worked, he could not earn much. His family depended on him to grow crops on their land, but he did not even know if they had enough grain from the autumn harvest to last a year.
Therefore, he was thinking of ways to earn more money. So when he heard the news of the land reclamation, he could not be more excited.
Everyone talked at the same time:
“Yes, Chief Su. Is what you said true?
“We know you would never lie. We will work hard if you hire us, sir!”
“Yes, five coins daily is a significant amount for us.”
“Since the autumn harvest has ended and the farmers have not much else to do, they’re also looking for more work They can earn some money if they work harder. Then they might even buy some meat for the upcoming winter.”
Granduncle Su knew every family’s conditions in the village. He looked at everyone and said, “Fengmao’s family bought the land to farm and said they would hire people to work and pay them five coins daily.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture “You should all know how much you get when you work in town. I’m not biased toward Fengmao’s family, but this payment is fair. That’s why I must choose those who can work hard.”
Everyone expressed their views when they heard Granduncle Su’ s words:
“I can work well, Chief Su! I won’t be lazy!’
“Right, my child can also contribute, sir!”
“We’re honest people, Chief Su. We will work hard since we’ve said so.”
Granduncle Su knew the villagers were honest people, but many families had not had it easy, and he was willing to help.
However, cultivating the fields and planting crops was manual labor, so he had to choose those who could do physical work well. Only then could they quickly cultivate the land and plant seeds.
Su Fengmao entrusted that task to Granduncle Su. Although he wanted to help the villagers, he could not allow others to cheat his nephew. Even so, he could still help the villagers tremendously.
Granduncle Su chose a few people who were experts, and everyone expressed their determination to work hard.
He said, “Work hard, everyone. We will have more work for you in the future, and your days will improve as long as you work hard.”
His words were like a flame, giving everyone hope. After speaking, he dismissed everyone. The following morning, he would send the workers to open up the land for farming.
The villagers who Granduncle Su had selected to work were thrilled as they could earn five coins daily. After working for a while, it would add up to tens of coins a month, and then they would be able to buy many things.
Although those who did not get the job felt somewhat disappointed, they also knew they lacked strength compared to the other villagers. They all knew Granduncle Su was fair in handling matters like these.
“Chief Su said there would be more jobs for us in the future, correct?”
“Yes, and Chief Su has never lied. It must be true since he said it. Our village is already doing much better than others because of Chief Su, so everyone should feel satisfied.”
“It’s all thanks to the Su family. My mother was able to help Su Fengchen prepare his grilled chicken and roast duck, and she earned quite a lot from “Exactly. Su Fengmao’s family bought the land and asked for our help too.
Earning five coins is still a fair offer.”
“After thinking about it, our village has benefited greatly from the Su family.]’

The villagers became emotional when they talked about these things.
“Yeah, we don’t even have to leave the village to sell our eggs, chickens, and ducks nowadays.”
“Not only that. Every household can make a lot of money with those.”
The villagers were in a craze to raise chickens and ducks.
“What about those perfect and affordable bricks? Su Fengmao’s daughter was the one who developed those.”
“My family repaired our fence wall with those bricks. Our wall is much sturdier now, so we won’t have to worry too much even if it snows heavily during the winter.”
“It’s fortunate that my second brother learned some carpentry skills. Since Su Zhengde set up his construction team, my second brother has joined them. He has earned quite a lot of money from that.”
“Yeah, now that I think about it, our lives are better than before.’
Everyone thought about these things carefully. They knew it was because they benefited from the Su family.
“No wonder the Su family treasures Su Binglan. Su Fengmao is truly blessed to have her.”

Ads by Pubfuture Li Dazhuang’s footsteps were quick when he went home, almost running.
Li Dazhuang’s sister, Li Erying, was in the yard scooping water to wash clothes when she greeted her brother, “Big Brother, you’re back!”
Although she was only ten, Li Erying took care of all the housework. Her hands were rough and had a lot of calluses because she worked all year round. Li Dazhuang said to Li Erying, “You should rest, Second Sister.”
“I’m not tired, Big Brother. I’m just washing clothes and cooking as usual.”
Li Dazhuang looked inside the house and did not see anyone. He asked,
“Where’s Grandma?”
His parents had passed on when he was a child, but his grandmother was still around. The three Li siblings were dependent on their grandmother.
Li Erying said, “Grandma went to Old Madam Su’s house to deliver eggs. She said that Old Madam Su and the others had helped us a lot, so we can’t trouble them to come here and collect eggs every time.
“It’s the same if she delivers them instead, though. I offered to go, but Grandma said I was not suitable to do such things as a child. She wants me to stay home. Also, Little Brother went to the fields to collect more rice.”
They had harvested their rice a while back, but their little brother, Li Sanzhu, still went to the fields to collect what they might have missed because there would always be some that fell on the ground as they harvested their rice.
Li Sanzhu would also help his grandmother raise chickens and ducks. Although he was only eight, he was very sensible for his age.
Li Erying looked at her big brother’s expression and realized he had never seemed so excited. She asked, “Is something the matter, Big Brother?”
“Let’s talk when Grandma gets back.” Li Dazhuang wanted to share the good news with his family because he knew his grandmother would be thrilled. @@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture Soon after, Old Madam Li returned with a basket in her hand and a faint smile.
“Welcome home, Grandma.” Li Dazhuang hurriedly went forward to support his grandmother.
Old Madam Li looked a little older than the other village elders because she was always worried. Her back had also become relatively hunched, and her walking was wobbly because she had worked all year round.
She looked at her eldest grandson and said, “We sold our duck and chicken eggs for 76 coins this time. We should feed more chickens and ducks and save money to help you get a wife in the future.”
Li Dazhuang was already 17 years old, and Old Madam Li was in a hurry to get him a wife. She was worried because his parents were no longer around, and her family was too poor to help the Li family.
Old Madam Li thought she must save more money to find a perfect wife for her eldest grandson. However, Li Dazhuang was the only family member who could do hard labor as Li Erying and Li Sanzhu were still young.
Old Madam Li was too old to work in the fields or do much else, but Old Madam Su and her son started buying eggs from her during autumn.
Before, the Li family had only raised two chickens and one duck, so they had fewer eggs than others. Therefore, Old Madam Li saved a handful of eggs, hatched some chicks and ducklings, and raised them to lay more eggs.
Then she continued hatching more chicks and ducklings before raising them again. Afterward, Su Fengmao would buy the fully grown roosters and ducks. Old Madam Li had saved up a few hundred coins by relying on these.
She thought that if she worked hard, she could save up one silver tael, which would be enough to find Li Dazhuang, a wife.
“Grandma, this money will help you and your younger siblings recover,” Li Dazhuang said.
“Don’t worry about my family and me. It’s more important for us to get you a wife first. We know our family’s conditions best. As long as we can find you a good girl, I will feel relieved.”
Old Madam Li was worried she would be gone soon and no one would take care of the three siblings.

However, he did not know what to do for himself. Therefore, Old Madam Li just wanted him to marry as soon as possible so that he could have a family.
Then Li Erying and Li Sanzhu would have a sister-in-law to rely on, so their days would always be better.
Li Dazhuang became teary-eyed, saying, “Oh right, Grandma, Chief Su called everyone for a meeting just now and said that Su Fengmao’s family was hiring people to reclaim land for farming. He chose me to work and will pay me five coins daily.”
Old Madam Li was excited, “R-Really?!”
Li Dazhuang nodded. “Yes, it’s true. I’ll start tomorrow morning.”
Old Madam Li happily patted the back of his hand, saying, “That’s great, but you must work hard. Chief Su has been in charge of the village for many years, so his eyes are sharp. He best knows who is hardworking and who is lazy.
“He must’ve seen how hard you’ve worked over these past few years. That’s why he chose you to work this time. Also, five coins daily is a lot of money,” Old
Madam Li always taught her grandchildren to work hard and live good lives.
“Yes, Grandma, I know.”
“Yes, the Su family’s lives keep improving, and they will need more help in the future, so you must work harder. If you attract their attention, they will offer you more jobs like this in the future,” Old Madam Li often saw things from a broad perspective.
When Li Dazhuang heard this, he felt his heart gain strength as he nodded vigorously.
Li Eryang was also happy when she heard this. “I’ll go and cook now.”
Old Madam Li seemed to have thought of something and said, “Go and call your little brother back. Let’s eat together.”
Meanwhile, Lin Chai and his wife, He Shi, lived in a thatched house in another village. The couple had two young sons who relied on them to work the land.
Lin Chai was simple and honest. He also stuttered, so he had low self-esteem and hardly spoke. He worked hard, even though he was not good at speaking, but he could never sell his grain at a reasonable price.
Lin Chai’s family was impoverished, but He Shi, the wife his parents chose, did not mind that their family was poor.
He Shi had a good personality, but her body was weak. Hence, she could not help her husband much in the fields, especially after she gave birth to their third son and her body became weaker.
Still, Lin Chai doted on his wife, and the couple lived happily with each other even though they were poor.
When Lin Chai returned home that day, he happily told his wife that Chief Su had hired him to reclaim land for five coins daily..

He Shi could not believe what she had heard. She was thrilled about it and still asked, “Is that true?!”
“Y-Yes, it’s true. W-We will start reclaiming the land for farming tomorrow morning. T-Then I will collect f-five coins at the end of t-the day.” Lin Chai would only speak to his family because he knew she and their three sons would not laugh at him.
When He Shi was sure the news was true, she smiled, saying, “That’s great!”

He was delighted that his wife was also happy. He would not say anything nice but wanted to work hard to earn money so that his wife would not have to work so hard.
He also had three sons. They were still young and needed to eat, so Lin Chai thought of ways to earn more, even though he dared not leave the village for work.
On the one hand, it was because he stuttered, and many would laugh at him. His wife could not bear to see him working hard outside the village. On the other hand, Lin Chai’s wife was not in good health, and he did not want her to work outside of the village.
After all, he could take care of his wife at home.
“C-Chief Su also said w-well done, and there will b- be more work in the f-future,” Lin Chai stuttered.
He Shi immediately felt energetic as she tidied her husband’s clothes and said, “Our family’s conditions will improve if you work hard. I’ll return to cooking now.”
Although He Shi said she was cooking, the family only had coarse grains and some leftover soup with a bit of noodle. The family also ate raw vegetables that she dug up in the fields.
That was enough to fill their stomachs, but they could never eat until they were full. Even if the family collected grain and returned, they would not be willing to overeat.
Ads by Pubfuture After all, the family needed their grain to last a year. Moreover, they had to think of selling a portion of it for their household expenses.
Few families lived in Su Teng Village, and most families were like Lin Chai’s family. Granduncle Su chose many people to reclaim the land because there were fifty acres. The more people worked on it, the quicker they would finish.
Meanwhile, in the Su family’s new house, after dinner, they sat on the heated platform and continued peeling the corn while they talked.
Su Binglan went to town and used silver to exchange for countless copper coins. She took out her purse, removed a small box, and poured all the copper coins into the small box.
Cling! Clang!
The sound of copper coins pouring out sounded pleasant to everyone’s ears. The family felt rich when they looked at the pile of copper coins.
“I think exchanging copper coins for more silver coins is better.”
Su Binglan explained, “These copper coins are for the workers who will help us reclaim the land. Each person will get five coins daily.”
Su Wenzhe put down the corn he held and reached to touch the copper cons. He said, “I saw many villagers gathered on the street to talk when I returned from town just now. Everyone seemed enthusiastic when they saw me.”
The villagers greeted Su Wenzhe when they saw him, including the elders with seniority. Everyone spoke to him warmly, and Su Wenzhe felt like something was different.
Liu Yinyin lowered her head and continued peeling the corn. “I think most of the villagers are quite happy.”
Su Wenxiu sighed. “Yeah, that’s because earning five copper coins is excellent for everyone, especially if it’s daily payments. It feels different to receive cash upfront.
“I was happy to earn five coins daily when I previously worked in town. After five to six working days, I would have more than twenty coins, and I could buy rice and noodles.”
Su Wenwu agreed with Su Wenxiu’s words, “I know how you felt. It’s because it’s not a busy season for farming. Everyone has nothing much to do since they don’t have anything else to harvest. They all remain in the village and do things at home, which is excellent for everyone.”
Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu had suffered being away from the village, so they naturally understood how the villagers felt..
Ads by Pubfuture Many would starve to death these days, so they were happy to earn more money. Even if they bought some flour, they could have enough to eat for a long time if they used it sparingly.
Su Fengmao sighed and said, “We’re hiring people to reclaim the land we just bought. Still, we can only hire able-bodied villagers, not those who don’t have much strength.”
He could not bear seeing so many hungry villagers with shallow and emaciated faces. However, his children had earned their money through hard work, so they could not just give it away.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Everyone has to live on their own sometimes. People can’t always rely on others’ charity, after all. Everyone in the village knows this principle, so to overthink it.”
Su Binglan looked at her father’s expression and knew how kind he was. She felt terrible that they could only hire a few people, not the entire village.
She comforted her father, “Those who work hard can contribute and live better lives if we can encourage everyone to do so. Then we can hire more villagers when we open the tofu factory in the future. Since most villagers can handle the factory, we won’t have to do much.
Su Fengmao felt less guilty when he heard that. “Indeed, you’re such a capable person, Binglan. You’re always helping so many people.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “Not just others but ourselves too. The tofu factory will be in the village, so it’s more convenient for you and Mother to watch out for it. Then you two won’t have to go to town.
“The land in the village is cheap and won’t cost much to build the factory. It’s also convenient to hire villagers to do the work.”
Su Binglan had asked around and discovered that it would cost at least one silver tael for an acre of land if she were to buy the land from the town. Of course, she knew what to do and was not blindly doing things.
“You have a point, Binglan.”
Then she handed the copper coins to her father and said, “I’ll entrust you with these to pay everyone, Father.”
Su Fengmao took the box of copper coins as if Su Binglan had entrusted him with a vital task. Moreover, it felt good to give everyone money, so he said excitedly, “Don’t worry, Binglan. I will handle this well. I guarantee that not a single cent will go missing.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at her husband’s expression and knew he would handle it well. However, she also reminded him, “Those coins are for everyone’s hard work. You can make mistakes.”
After the conversation, Su Binglan returned to her room to rest. Her room was also huge, and there was a large desk. She and her husband could use it together.
Nonetheless, she was not in a hurry to sleep when she returned to her room. She still had to draw blueprints, after all. She lit the oil lamp on the desk, took a piece of charcoal, and started drawing.
The blueprints she was drawing were for the tofu factory, of course. She drew the structure and space inside in great detail. Su Binglan did not even go to bed until late at night.
Many houses were brightly lit the following morning as the sky had just begun to brighten. The sunlight was dim yellow, but it was also because it was cloudy the night before..

In the lit houses were those who Granduncle Su had chosen to work in the fields. Everyone woke up early to make breakfast so their families could arrive early at the fields.
After all, Granduncle Su said that everyone should work hard. If the villagers were lazy, he would not hire them to do more work in the future. Although everyone was honest, they dared not be lazy.
However, they also knew that many others were desperate to do such work, so they could not fall behind. Hence, the workers prepared themselves to put in their best efforts.
Li Dazhuang woke up early. He realized his sister, Li Erying, had also gotten up. She typically woke up early to cook. “Why are you up so early, Big Brother? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?
“I can’t sleep anymore.” Li Dazhuang could not sleep anymore since he had something on his mind. Moreover, he had never been a lazy person who slept till late.
He would wake up early every day, even in the past. He would either work in the fields, go for a stroll in the mountain, or chop firewood. He had developed a habit of walking up early all year round.
Li Dazhuang’s parents were no longer around, so his sister had also grown accustomed to waking up early to cook. She was the first person in and out of the house.
Although Li Erying was only ten, she had always considered herself an adult and ordered her eldest brother around.
“It’s too early, Sister. Go and rest. I can cook for myself.” Li Dazhuang also knew how to cook and felt sorry for his sister. He did not want his younger brother or sister to work hard if he could help it.
Li Erying insisted, “You still have to work on the land later, Big Brother. That’s physical work. I won’t get tired from waking up early to cook, you know?”
Old Madam Li also woke up. She felt gratified when she saw the brother and sister caring for each other. “Listen to your sister and rest, Dazhuang. After all, you’ll have to go work hard soon.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Okay, grandma.”
Old Madam Li did not stay idle after waking up—instead, she went to the yard to check on the chickens and ducks to see if they had laid any eggs.
Meanwhile, at the Li family home, “Big Brother, Second Brother, you two should eat more in the morning. You can’t slack off later. The others envy us because Chief Su chose you two to reclaim the land.”
Mr. Li looked at his two sons and felt gratified because it seemed he had taught them well. He made them work hard and trained them well since they were children. The two brothers were strong and were good at working when they grew up.
Since the family could work a lot, their days would quickly improve, and they would not go hungry. However, they still had to earn as much money as possible.
“Don’t worry, Father. We’ll do a good job.”
Mr. Li continued to lecture, “We must show Chief Su how capable you two are. Then he will hire you two again when there’s more work in the future. Did you see the team Su Zhengde formed?
“The people he chose are capable and bright. They’re also from the same village, and everyone knows what kind of family they’re from.”
“We know, Father.”
Meanwhile, in Lin Chai’s family home, “I made noodles and mantou last night, Husband. You should eat two, so you’ll have a lot of energy to work later,” He Shi had made noodles last night and woke up early to make mantou buns.
“I-I can’t bear to e-eat mantou for breakfast. I-I’ll drink some o-of the leftover s-soup instead.” Lin Chai looked at the mantou buns and was reluctant to eat them. @@novelbin@@
Although they were just plain steamed buns, the family would only be willing to eat them during the holidays.
“You’ll work hard on the land later, so you must eat more. Otherwise, you won’t be able to last until noon.”
Ads by Pubfuture Most families were like this as they woke up early to have breakfast. When the sun had just risen, they took their hoes and went to the designated land to start their work.
No one wanted to get left behind and be called lazy. So, the villagers worked hard to earn money and felt at ease. Everyone had free time since they had completed their autumn harvest.
They could earn extra coins daily if they worked, so they all felt happy.
Su Fengmao also woke up early to eat since he wanted to go to the fields to work with the others and watch them do their work. Although the villagers were honest, he would not feel at ease if he did not check on their work.
However, he heard movements outside when he opened the gate. Su Fengmao looked outside and saw many villagers going to the field with their hoes. He said, “They’re so early.”
He hurriedly went back into the house to eat his mantou buns. ‘I l didn’t expect everyone to be so early, especially since the sun had just begun to rise. I have to go there as soon as possible!”
He did not even finish eating his mantou. He took the other half and went off.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “Just look at how anxious he is.”
After having breakfast, Su Binglan went looking for Su Zhengde. He was bringing his workers to town early that morning since he needed to renovate Su Binglan’s hotpot restaurant. He typically brought his team to town every day because of that.
Su Zhengde did things professionally and supervised his workers. He was earnest about everything.
He was not home when Su Binglan went looking for him, so his wife was the one greeting and serving Su Binglan.
Su Binglan said, “1 have something to trouble Uncle Zhengde with.”
Madam Zhou said smilingly, “Did you hear yourself? Your uncle would be thrilled if you have a favor to ask him. I don’t know what he’s doing this time, but he’ll be back tonight. I’ll tell him you need something when he returns.”
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan took out her blueprints and handed them to Madam Zhou. “These are my blueprints for a tofu factory I plan to open in the future. I want Uncle Zhengde to arrange for his team to build it.”
Madam Zhou was stunned. “A tofu factory?
She was puzzled as she took the blueprints and looked at them. She felt even more shocked when she saw the designs. “This is such a big place. Are you sure my husband can complete it in such a short time?
She knew about Su Wenzhe’s tofu shop and that Su Fengmao and his wife would grind soybeans every afternoon. However, most tofu shops did not look like the one Su Binglan had designed.
Su Zhengde would be very busy if he and his team were to build such a big tofu factory in a short time.
Su Binglan explained, “I plan to hire people to make tofu so my parents can watch over them. I don’t want my parents to tire themselves.”
“You want to hire people? Like the villagers?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, it’s more convenient that way.”
Madam Zhou responded, “That’s perfect. I know the villagers will be grateful to you if they find out about this. I have some reservations but don’t know if I should say anything, Binglan.”
“There’s nothing you can’t tell me, Aunt Zhou. We’re family, after all.” Su Binglan knew how good Madam Zhou was to her. It made Su Binglan feel a warmth in her heart.
Madam Zhou said earnestly, “I know the tofu factory will be large, and your family will get more tofu from it, but you can’t tell others your secret recipe.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “I know, Aunt Zhou. I’m using an assembly line method, so the recipe will remain with my family. Also, each person will do a different task and must sign a confidentiality agreement.”
She did not hide anything from Madam Zhou, as she explained many things in detail.
“You’re so smart, Binglan. Sigh, I was blindly worrying again.”
“No, you’re not,” Su Binglan said.
Suddenly, a voice came from the door, “Grandma!”
Madam Zhou heard the voice and looked toward the door, saying, “My eldest grandson is home!”
She got down from the heated platform and went to the courtyard.. Madam Zhou looked at Su Xueye and said, “Did something happen to your grandfather?”

Su Xueye was running fast, so he took a deep breath and said, “Grandpa is fine. He just told me to get something. He said he left his bag of wooden nails at home.”
Madam Zhou said, “I’ll look around the house for them,” as if she thought of something, she said, “Oh, your aunt is here. Say hi.”
“Aunt Binglan?” Su Xueye’s eyes lit up.
At that moment, Su Binglan went to the courtyard, and Madam Zhou said, “Xueye has been working hard as a carpenter for his grandfather since he was a child. In that aspect, he’s better than his father and two uncles.
“Xueye especially likes the blueprints you drew and copied them several times.
He even said he wanted to learn from you.”
Su Xueye said shyly, “Yes, Aunt Binglan.”
Although he was the same age as Su Binglan, he still called Su Binglan “aunt,” according to seniority.
Su Binglan’s expression changed when she heard Madam Zhou’s words. She looked at Su Xueye and asked, “Did you understand the blueprints I drew?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Xueye nodded and said, “Yes, I understood them well. The ones you drew were amazing and very detailed. I studied and copied a few of them. I’ll bring them out to show you, Aunt Binglan.”
He exited the inner room as he spoke with the drawings in hand.
Su Binglan took the drawings and took a closer look. Her eyes lit up as she said in admiration, “You drew these yourself?”
Su Xueye scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, saying, “Yes, I drew them according to your blueprints. You’re not mad at me, right, Aunt Binglan?”
Su Binglan said gently, “Why would I be? You drew them according to mine very well, and they look excellent. That means you’re talented. I can teach you more if you’re willing to learn.”
She thought that perhaps Su Xueye could become a master architect in that era. It was excellent for people to have passions and be willing to learn. Only then would they work hard for their dreams.
She believed one would always gain something if one worked hard for something persistently.
“R-Really?!” Su Xueye could not believe what he heard. He wondered if his aunt was genuinely willing to teach him how to draw.
Anyone would be amazed if they saw Su Binglan’s blueprints, and Su Zhengde would not allow others to look at them so casually. As Su Zhengde’s grandson, Su Xueye was learning by his grandfather’s side, so he would often look at the blueprints.
Su Xueye knew those blueprints were precious. He wanted to learn but was too embarrassed to ask Su Binglan, so he could only fumble around and learn independently. He studied and copied her blueprints constantly every day.
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye’s adorable appearance and could not help but laugh. She wanted to reach out and pat his head.
Although Su Xueye was the same age as her, Su Binglan had an ancient soul, and she treated Su Xueye like a child. However, she realized Su Xueye was taller than her when she reached for his head, so she retracted her hand.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan nodded and said thoughtfully, “Of course, I will! I’m willing to teach you if you’re willing to learn. Perhaps you’ll have some achievements in architecture in the future.”
Su Xueye’s blood started boiling when he heard Su Binglan’s words. “I will study hard, Aunt Binglan!”
Madam Zhou also became excited when she saw the two’s interactions. She did not expect Su Binglan to be so willing to teach. Previously, Madam Zhou wanted to tell Su Binglan about this but thought that Su Binglan had already helped her family a lot. Therefore, she felt too embarrassed to trouble Su Binglan.
This time, it was just a coincidence, and she did not expect Su Binglan to agree. After all, designing blueprints was a skill; most would not share such things with outsiders.
Of course, Madam Zhou hoped her grandson would learn more valuable skills, so she could not be happier. She said, “It’s warmer inside the house, Binglan. Come inside. Xueye, don’t stand in the courtyard and come in with your aunt while I go prepare some tea.”
Su Binglan said, “I have nothing much to do this morning, so I can teach you now.”
“Thank you, Aunt Binglan!”
“Don’t mention it. It’s great that you’re willing to learn. I know you can draw your own designs in the future to build houses for people.”
Su Xueye did not think that far ahead initially, but after hearing what Su Binglan said, it seemed that learning to draw was significant. ‘i l will study hard, Aunt Binglan.”
“Perfect!” Su Binglan noticed how enthusiastic Su Xueye was to learn. It was good that he felt motivated.
Soon after, she and Su Xueye sat at a table as Su Binglan took a pen and a ruler. Then she started teaching Su Xueye. “I’ll teach you Arabic numerals first. Then it’ll be easier for you to calculate distances and such.
“Also, this one is the length, and this is the width. We must reduce the scale when drawing a blueprint. That’s the scale, and this is the buildings structural line, which is also a dotted line. That one is a three-dimensional aerial view.”
Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan explained several fundamental things to Su Xueye. He was talented in that aspect, as he could understand Su Binglan’s detailed explanation. The more he listened, the more excited he became.
Su Binglan was very willing to teach intelligent students.
“So, that’s called a scale? Right.” Su Xueye had learned carpentry from his grandfather when he was only a few years old.
Since Su Xueye was his father’s eldest son and Su Zhengde’s eldest grandson, Su Zhengde liked bringing him wherever he went. At that time, Su Zhengde built houses for people while Su Xueye played beside him.
Su Xueye learned a lot as time passed, and Su Zhengde noticed how smart Su @@novelbin@@
Xueye was, so he began teaching him at a young age. Later, Madam Zhou sent Su Xueye to a private school.
Since Su Zhengde was a carpenter and his family was well-off, he was willing to pay for Su Xueye to attend school. However, after studying for a few years and not liking what he was learning, Su Xueye discovered he enjoyed drawing.
Therefore, he wanted to quit school. Fortunately, Su Zhengde and Madam Zhou respected his decision because they knew their grandson could support himself as a carpenter.
Still, it was beneficial for Su Xueye to go to school since he learned things faster than his father and two uncles.
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye’s curious expression and told him more, “When we draw hills, for example, we can also draw them as dotted lines. This is the contour line, and this is the relative height. That’s how you shrink a hill to fit a blueprint.
“The blueprint I drew is a plan, a top-down view, a detailed internal structure, and a detailed indication of the size. With that, the person building the house will know the exact measurements and visualize everything.”
Su Xueye took a piece of paper and wrote notes of Su Binglan’s explanations. Of course, he also memorized them in his mind.
“You’re amazing, Aunty Binglan!” He looked at Su Binglan with admiration.
“When I studied in private school, I easily got sleepy from the teacher’s lessons. However, I felt I hadn’t had enough when you taught me. I can still keep drawing too.”
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye encouragingly and said, “You can also design your own things with what I’ve taught you. You can write and draw what you understood from my explanation. Perhaps, you can even turn them into a book in the future.”
Su Xueye’s blood boiled again. “I can write a book too?!”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. You can ask me anything if there’s anything you don’t understand. I’ll also find some time to teach you more..”

Su Xueye nodded enthusiastically. Now that he had found his passion, he had something he genuinely wanted to do.
Madam Zhou was thrilled and insisted that Su Binglan join them for lunch, but Su Binglan politely refused because she still needed to go home and check on something.
Since that was the case, Madam Zhou did not push further. She held Su Binglan’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Binglan. I’ll tell Zhengde about your factory when he returns.
“Your uncle has two construction teams, too, so he’ll have no problems arranging a team for your factory. Zhengde can still build more teams, even if he’s too busy.”
Most villagers knew Su Zhengde had built a team of construction workers. They even sought him because of his reputation and wanted to join him. However, Su Zhengde was too busy, so he planned to teach his three sons to lead their own teams. Therefore, he would not have to focus on too many things at once—instead, he could take things one step at a time.
That was because his reputation had spread too fast, and he could not keep up with too many projects.
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, I think Xueye is ready to handle his own construction team. Xueye, you can ask your grandfather for help if you need it. Learning through practice is the fastest way to improve, after all.” @@novelbin@@
Su Xueye felt touched when he heard that. Madam Zhou nodded, saying, “I’ll tell your uncle about this, Binglan.”
When Su Binglan reached home, her mother had already prepared lunch. Meanwhile, Su Fengmao and Su Wenwu also returned with their hoes. The father and son duo were exhausted from working all morning.
Ads by Pubfuture “Mother, I’m famished.” Su Wenwu did not have much strength left when he got home.
Su Fengmao smelled the food and said, ‘You made something delicious, didn’t you? It smells delicious.”
Shen Qiuhua removed the pot lid and said, “I made braised pork and spicy chicken. I just made it and was afraid it would get cold, so I placed it in the pot to reheat it. I knew it would be just right as soon as you two got home. I also made some noodles and steamed buns.”
Su Wenwu got excited. “The steamed buns you just made smell great. Theyre soft and fragrant!
He felt tired, even though he was looking at the food. He could never bear to think about such foods in the past.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan helped her mother bring the food to the table. “Father, Wenwu, quickly wash your hands and feet. Then you can have some food.”
“Okay.”
The family washed up and sat around the dining table to eat. Su Fengmao and Su Wenwu did not care about anything else as they picked up the steamed buns and started eating.
“It’s so delicious! Your cooking skills have improved, Mother!”
Shen QIuhua explained smilingly, “Well, I learned everything from your sister, and now I can cook these dishes. Your sister is so busy these days, so we can’t keep depending on her to cook every meal.”
Su Wenwu spoke with a lisp as he ate, “Indeed, I want to learn how to cook too. Then I can help with the cooking in the future.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Yes, It’s always good to learn more.”
Ads by Pubfuture Since her family’s conditions had improved, Shen Qiuhua would no longer be stingy regarding food. She knew the family would be healthier if they ate more. Otherwise, they would feel exhausted and unable to eat their fill. If that went on for too long, their bodies would suffer.
‘My daughter is right. One can only work hard when one’s body is in good condition.’
Shen Qiuhua had experienced it herself. After Su Fengmao injured his foot in the past, he could not do many things. It was indeed a hindrance. However, if one’s body was healthy and fully functional, one could work hard and earn money.
Nonetheless, the family could earn back their food, no matter how much they ate, and Shen Qiuhua naturally understood what was most important.
While eating, Su Fengmao said, “Don’t worry, Binglan. Everyone is working hard, and no one is slacking off.”
Su Wenwu had just eaten a piece of chicken and swallowed it. After all, he was exhausted and hungry, so it felt good to be full. He quickly ate a few mouthfuls and said, “Indeed, that’s the case. Also, everyone looked at Father and me with grateful eyes, but I felt embarrassed.”
He felt he was a junior among the elders who were working. He was still not accustomed to them speaking to him so warmly, as he was usually the one who took the initiative to call and greet them. Now, the elders of a few villages would talk to him first.
“Still, it feels pretty good,” Su Wenwu chuckled as he spoke.
Shen Qiuhua patted his head. “Don’t show it even if you are happy. You must respect the elderly and love the young.”
“I know, Mother. I still respect the elders very much.”
Su Binglan looked at her father and third brother. She knew they must have put in plenty of effort in the morning and that it must have been tough, especially since one needed an abundance of physical strength to reclaim 50 acres of land.
She said, “You don’t have to put in so much effort, Father. You only need to check on the workers and the land. Third Brother, our hotpot restaurant should open soon, so go and prepare the ingredients now and talk to other vendors about cooperation. You don’t have to worry about the land.”
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan did not want her father and third brother to exhaust themselves. She only wanted Su Wenwu to run errands and prepare the ingredients for the hotpot restaurant.
Still, talking about cooperation with others was also a way to train Su Wenwu.
Su Wenwu said thoughtfully, “Don’t worry, Sister. I will contact a few people this afternoon and talk about it.”
“Well, you can use your wits to make things more convenient. Use your thoughts instead of physical efforts.” Su Binglan knew her third brother was more enthusiastic, so she would not clearly explain certain things and allowed him to figure things out independently.
She wanted to train his abilities because she still had many things to do in the future. Therefore, she wanted to prepare Su Wenwu to do some of these things.
Su Binglan made some desserts at home during the afternoon. She even made many molds, props, and simple kneading machines herself.
There was no electricity in that era, so she made a shaking kneading machine instead of an electronic one. She put in the flour and water according to the proper ratio, then shook the wooden stick outside to stir the flour and water inside.
It saved Su Binglan time and effort so she could make several pieces of dough at once. She realized people liked to eat mooncakes with various fillings, but she could not always sell them after the Mooncake Festival.
So, she changed the dough patterns. The fillings were the same, but they were not mooncakes. Instead, they were egg yolk chips, tarts, and soybean cakes.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua was still grinding soybeans with the donkey in the yard. The yard at the new house was huge, so Su Binglan made a large stone mill to make it more convenient for the family to grind soybeans. Now, Shen Qiuhua could grind many soybeans at once.
After making the desserts, Su Binglan went to the warehouse in her pocket dimension. She also discreetly put more soybeans there. It was a big basket of soybeans, and no one knew how many were inside.
She planned to use the soybeans in her dimension as seeds so that they could ripen more quickly during the winter. Moreover, her dimension had improved the soybeans, and the yield was considerable.
That way, the family did not have to worry about lacking soybeans to make more tofu.
After preparing the desserts, Su Binglan packed boxes of them and prepared to go to town. Just then, Su Wenwu rushed home, yelling, “Sister!”
“What’s wrong, Third Brother?” Su Binglan asked.
Su Wenwu gathered himself and said, “Can you lend me a silver tael, Sister?” He felt ashamed that he had to borrow money from his sister.
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows, asking, “What are you going to do, Third Brother?”

Su Binglan did not ask Su Wenwu about the silver—lnstead, she noticed he was not in a good mood. She wanted to ask what was happening and did not want her family to worry.
Su Wenwu lowered his head and said embarrassedly, “One of my friends is burying his sister.”
Su Binglan’s face darkened, and her eyes were cold, “What happened?” Her aura was fierce, and it shocked Su Wenwu. “Bring me along. I want to see what happened.
“My friend’s name is Du Xiaoshuan. His father died when he was a child, so he moved to Stone Village with his mother. He has also been looking for his sister, but his uncle sold her to someone.
“He finally found his sister, but he discovered that the people from the dentist were going to bury her. Xiaoshuan’s sister is seriously ill and is close to death. The dentist staff don’t have the money to treat her, so they decided to deal with her hastily.”
Su Binglan immediately understood that Du Xiaoshuan’s sister was an enslaved person, and she hated it from the bottom of her heart. Still, she was in an ancient era, which was normal then.
Her expression turned cold. After some thought, she said, “Go to my room and get the medicine box.”
Su Wenwu knew his sister wanted to take care of this matter upon hearing her words. He immediately reacted. ‘Yes, my sister knows medicine better than anyone. How could I have forgotten?! Perhaps she could save my close friend’s sister!
“Yes, Sister,” Su Wenwu immediately gathered himself and quickly went to Su Binglan’s room to collect her medicine box. He carried it on his back and followed Su Binglan to the town on horseback.

Steward Liu said, “Your sister signed a death contract. You must pay me to redeem your sister if you want to save her. Still, I advise you that your sister is severely ill. It’s pointless for you to redeem her, especially because her face looks disfigured.”
Du Xiaoshuan was still kowtowing when Su Binglan and her brother arrived. Su Wenwu hurried over to help Du Xiaoshuan, saying, “Get up quickly. Don’t worry. My sister is here, and she can save your sister.”
Steward Liu’s expression changed when he saw Su Binglan. He knew about some things that had happened in town and that the Su family’s business was becoming increasingly prosperous.
He even heard that Su Binglan had saved the county magistrate’s son, making Su Binglan Old Madam Feng’s benefactor. The county magistrate had instructed the officials to treat Su Binglan with respect.
If any official disrespected Su Binglan, they would no longer be worthy of being a government official. Moreover, the Feng family was an influential force.
The county magistrate’s family was large and connected to the upper echelons. In this line of work, Steward Liu would have to deal with government officials, and he was unequivocal on who he could not offend.
“May I know why you’re here, Miss Su?”
Su Binglan glanced at the unconscious people on the ground and said, death contracts bind these people?”
“That’s correct. May I know what you want, Miss Su?”
Su Binglan got straight to the point and said, “I know you have rules in this line of work, and I won’t break them. I want to buy these people off their contracts.
Ads by Pubfuture Name a price.”
Steward Liu was stunned. Although he wanted to make money, these people were bound to die. Still, Steward Liu could not make money if he buried them. He would not have to remind anyone else of this, but he was dealing with Su Binglan, so he had to say something because he did not want to cause trouble.
“These people are bound to die, Miss Su.”
“You don’t have to care about that. You told Du Xiaoshuan that each of these people cost one silver tael, correct?” Su Binglan asked indifferently.
Steward Liu was shocked and could not help but answer, “Y-Yes, that’s how it is.”
Su Binglan took out four silver taels and handed them to Steward Liu. “Here’s four silver taels.”
Steward Liu was quite happy when he saw the silver in his hands. Then he revealed the four peoples’ death contracts.
Su Binglan did things swiftly and decisively. She stamped the contracts in the administrators office and crossed the road. Afterward, the situation no longer had anything to do with Steward Liu.
After leaving, Steward Liu returned to his senses and felt something was wrong. He asked, “Does this mean Miss Su has medical skills? Can she cure these people?”
“Steward Liu, we heard a rumor that Miss Su is from the Legendary Medicine Valley. Even Doctor Wu respects her, and she can even save people who are on their last breaths. If she can save those people, then one silver tael per person is too cheap.”
Steward Liu punched the person who spoke. “What do you know?! You can’t offend someone with such medical skills, let alone someone from the Legendary Medicine Valley!

It’s better to get rid of those people as soon as possible since they’re sick.”
“Miss Su looks young, but she’s not an ordinary person, so don’t underestimate her. You should stop offending those who you can’t afford to offend!”
“Yes, Steward Liu.”
Meanwhile, Su Binglan returned with the death contract, and Du Xiaoshuan knelt to thank her. At least his sister was safe now and would not get buried.
He was only one year older than Su Wenwu. At that time, he cried so hard that even his snot was rolling down his face.
Su Binglan did not say anything—instead removed a silver needle from her medicine box and pricked the four unconscious people on the ground.
She looked at the four people and realized they were suffering from food poisoning. She knew they must have eaten some poisonous food in this area, but it was not difficult to treat them.
The four unconscious people could move again after Su Binglan pricked them a few times with her needles.
Su Binglan said, “You can move, but your bodies are still weak. I will brew some medicine for you, and you will be okay after drinking it for two days.”
Although the four people could not move previously, they were conscious and watched everything with wide-open eyes. They were in despair, but now they could move, they listened to Su Binglan’s words, and their eyes regained vitality.
Three of them supported themselves and knelt before Su Binglan, saying gratefully, “Thank you for saving us, miss! We would be dead if it weren’t for @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan looked at the trio and asked, “Are you willing to work with me?”
The trio said respectfully, ‘You saved us, miss. So, naturally, we’ll be loyal and work hard for you.”
Although Su Binglan had saved them, they were helpful to her. Du Xiaoshuan knelt and said he wanted to repay her.
Su Binglan looked at his sister, Du Xiaoju, and said, “Do you want to go back with your brother?”
Du Xiaoju looked at Su Binglan and said, “You were the one who saved me, so I want to follow and repay you for saving my life.”
She could tell Su Binglan was a good person. Moreover, Du Xiaoju had a disfigured face. She would undoubtedly work hard if Su Binglan took her in..

Su Binglan looked at the four people and said, “You must do your jobs well since you want to stay by my side. I won’t mistreat you and will give you freedom if you do well.
“However, you cannot blame me for being impolite if you try to play tricks.” Her expression became stern as she spoke, and the four people immediately clarified their stance.
Su Binglan had many things to do and was indeed short of staffing. She wanted to hire people but had never thought of using people in such a way. Nonetheless, she had not saved them for a reason.
She looked at Du Xiaoju and said, “You can return with your brother. Then you will need your brother to pay off the ransom and medicine.”
Du Xiaoju shook her head and said, “I will only be a burden if I return with my brother. I’ll only feel relieved when I know they’re okay. You were the one who saved me, so I will naturally repay you for that. Also, I can have meals by your side.”
Du Xiaoju knew what she wanted. That meant she did not want to return and burden her mother and brother. “Don’t worry, miss. I’m not afraid of hardships and will contribute and work well.”
Her brother had told her that Su Wenwu had a powerful sister, so she wanted to stay by Su Binglan’s side. Du Xiaoju was grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of her heart.
Moreover, Du Xiaoshuan and his mother were in the neighboring village. If Du Xiaoju worked by Su Binglan’s side, she could often see her brother and mother. She was content with that.
Du Xiaoshuan felt relieved that his sister was by Su Binglan’s side. He also knew his family’s current situation and that he could not take proper care of his sister.
Ads by Pubfuture He looked at Su Wenwu and said gratefully, “Thank you, Wenwu. If it weren’t for you, my sister would’ve…” He was on the verge of crying again as he spoke.
He thought he was not capable and could not afford to save his sister just now. Du Xiaoshuan did not know what he would have done if it were not for Su Wenwu.
He did not know how to explain it to his mother when he returned. His mother had always missed Du Xiaoju all these years, so Du Xiaoshuan left the village to work because he thought he might hear news about his sister.
Su Wenwu patted Du Xiaoshuan’s shoulder and said, “Work hard, and your days will undoubtedly improve.”
Du Xiaoshuan wiped his tears and said, “Yes, Wenwu. Thank you for willingly bringing me with you. I promise to work well with you.”
After bringing the four people back to the village, Su Binglan discovered that apart from Du Xiaoju, the other three were related.
The trio used to work for a wealthy family but got sold because they had committed a crime. The trio had suffered on their master’s behalf.
Su Binglan knew certain things about the wealthy family and that these three were honest people. The woman’s name was Qiu He, the man was Luo Kang, and their daughter, Luo Juan, was thirteen years old.
When Su Binglan designed the new house, she arranged to include some guest rooms. Therefore, she arranged for the Luo family and Du Xiaoju to live in the guest rooms.
When the four people looked at the Su family’s home, they felt a sense of disbelief. They even wondered whether or not they were in the countryside. They had lived with a wealthy family but never got to live in such rooms before, as everything inside was complete and proper.
Luo Juan was a timid girl, so she said shyly, “Father, Mother, is this room really for us to live in?
Ads by Pubfuture Qiu He said, “Miss Su said you have your own room, and your father and I will share another. She also said you’re old enough to live by yourself, but you can live with us if you’re not used to it.”
Luo Juan nodded and said, “Miss Su is such a good person.”
Luo Kang said, “She wouldn’t have saved us if she weren’t a good person. Moreover, we discovered that Miss Su’s relatives are also good people. We must work hard for them no matter what. It’s easier and more stable here than living with those wealthy families.”
Qiu He said, “We wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for Miss Su. I feel scared now that I think about it.”
Du Xiaoju sat on a chair in the guest room and looked around. She thought it was bizarre. She noticed she had a desk, and the cabinet differed from anything she had ever seen. She could also finally sleep on a heated platform instead of the floor.
Su Binglan did not put the four people to work on the first day—instead, she told them to rest well. Of course, Su Wenwu brought them food.
Qiu He, Da Xiaoju, and the others were flattered.
Su Wenwu said, “My sister said you should take your medicine and rest well for the next two days. I’ll arrange some things for you to do after you recover. There’s a kitchen for you all to use, and also rice and vegetables. You can cook and eat by yourselves.”
The rest of the Su family finally voiced their concerns during dinner.
“You saved the four of them, Binglan. Will you let them work in our home from now on?
Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yes. Father, Luo Kang will work with you as your assistant, and Qiu He will work with Mother as her assistant from now on.

After some training, I will let them manage the hotpot restaurant.
Su Binglan wanted to train management talents. She knew she could train Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan. @@novelbin@@
No one objected to Su Binglan’s arrangements, but Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua felt they did not need assistants.
Su Binglan said, “Mother, the tofu factory will get busy when it opens, so it’ll be much more convenient for you to have an assistant by your side to run your errands.”
Shen Qiuhua and her husband thought their daughter had a point, so they went along with what she said.
Time passed quickly, and a few days passed in just a blink. The chosen villagers had cleared the fifty acres of land and planted the soybeans.
Unbeknownst to the workers, the soybeans they planted came from Su Binglan’s pocket dimension.
Everyone followed Su Binglan’s instructions when they planted the soybeans.
They also discovered that the Su family used soybeans to make tofu.
Of course, the Su family was trustworthy as they would settle the workers’ payments every night after they finished their work. Everyone was thrilled when they saw how much money they had earned.
They would work even more seriously the following day because they felt motivated. After seven working days, the workers received thirty-five copper coins.
The workers were delighted and were even more polite whenever they saw Su Fengmao. They also saw a team of people building another structure behind the village.
Su Zhengde’s grandson, Su Xueye, was leading a team of construction workers on that project. The others had heard about the Su family’s upcoming tofu factory.
The villagers knew the Su family would be too busy to run the factory and that the family would need to hire people. Therefore, the villagers thought of ways to gather more information about acquiring more work.
Everyone wanted to work in the tofu factory since they could get paid and work closer to home. Moreover, the Su family never cheated others and would pay adequately.
One could see how honest they were just by working on the fifty acres of land the Su family had bought. The workers were happy with the money they earned after working every day.
“Your family is building a big tofu factory, right, Brother Su?”
