The workers could not help but chat with Su Fengmao as they collected their daily payments. They were only guessing but did not know what was happening exactly.
Most thought the Su family would hire people to work at the tofu factory and hoped they could get a job there. Especially since going back and forth from the village to the factory was convenient, they could also earn money. @@novelbin@@
Everyone felt excited when they worked and received their daily payments, mainly when they brought home their earnings and handed them over to their family members.
The atmosphere during dinner in every household was different. Everyone wanted to work in the village to earn money. The villagers explored and planted soybeans but did not slack off as they put in a lot of effort.
Su Fengmao also went to the fields every day, so he would know whether or not they were slacking off. He looked at everyone’s expectant expressions and understood their thoughts.
Nonetheless, Su Zhengde had entrusted Su Xueye to build the factory, and everyone could see it. Also, Su Binglan said they would start hiring people in a few days, so the villagers would tind out about it sooner or later.
Su Fengmao said, “The building will be a huge tofu factory, and I’m sure you’ve all seen it. It’s that big building in the back of the village.”
His answer enlightened someone. “So, that’s what it is.”
“It’s so big. So, you and your family will make a lot of tofu, correct?” Everyone knew that Su Fengmao’s family had become wealthy, and many were envious.
However, no one harbored ill thoughts toward the Su family because the family had earned their money through hard labor. The villagers only thought about how to improve their own lives because they were honest people.
Su Fengmao looked at everyone’s puzzled and curious expressions, then patiently explained, “Indeed, my family needs plenty of tofu. If you guys or other villages want to buy some, they can do so directly from the factory. It’s also convenient since it’s so close to the village.”
The villagers were excited when they heard that but retreated a little when they thought of how expensive tofu might be. “We can’t bear to buy tofu for six copper coins per kilogram.”
Ads by Pubfuture “We only earn five coins daily, so we can’t afford that.”
“It’s still best if we do business instead.”
“That also requires craftsmanship and cost, which is also money. Some of us can only work hard to earn money.”
Some people realized that saying these things in front of Su Fengmao was not a good idea, but that was also the villagers’ instinctive reaction.
Someone tried to hurriedly smooth things over, saying, “W-We’re not saying the tofu you sell is expensive, Brother Su. I-It’s considered cheap. Most things in town cost around 10 to 20 coins per pound. Also, the amount of tofu you sell is sufficient and delicious. A pound of tofu can last us several meals.”
Someone agreed, “Indeed, your family’s tofu is good. When you and your family still lived in the old house, we could always smell your fragrant tofu whenever we passed by.”
“Have you tried the Su family’s tofu before, Brother Liu?”
“I went to my mother-in-law’s house with my wife once, and my father-in-law bought some tofu from the Su family. We all tried it and couldn’t have enough.”
“Wow, at least you’ve tried it. My family and I have only smelled its fragrance.”
“It’s incredibly delicious. If anyone can afford a pound during the New Year, I urge you to try some.”
Usually, most villagers were reluctant to spend money since they wanted to save up. They would only be willing to buy certain things they were reluctant to buy during the New Year. Everyone would eat delicious food during the New Year.
“Well, it’s only autumn now.”
Su Fengmao heard everyone’s words and laughed. He did not mind what the villagers said because they only expressed genuine thoughts. He could understand others whenever he put himself in their shoes.
If it were the past, he would also think that six coins per pound of tofu were expensive. His family could not afford to buy much then either, so he understood the villagers’ feelings.
Ads by Pubfuture “My daughter said you guys can buy our tofu for five coins per pound. Only villagers from Su Teng Village can enjoy that price, but you can’t buy the tofu for five coins and sell it for six to other villages to earn the difference.”
Everyone was happy when they heard that because the tofu was one coin cheaper for them. It was not a small amount either, as they could save a coin at a time, which would only add up over time.
“Don’t worry, Brother Su. You can feel at ease giving us discounts because we’re not ungrateful people.”
“That’s right, and we won’t sell it to earn the difference.”
Su Fengmao knew the people of Su Teng Village were honest, but there was still something he needed to say, “If we find out someone is selling our tofu to earn the difference, my family and I will revert the prices to six coins per pound.”
That way, no one would dare to rip the Su family off, as doing something like that would be like making an enemy out of the entire village. The villagers would hate the person who ripped the Su family off if the family restored the price to its original state.
Still, no one intended to do or even think such things in the first place.
“Fret not, Brother Su. You know the people of our village best.”
Su Fengmao laughed and said, “That’s right. I know you’re all good people and my daughter said things would be more convenient for our village soon. We will hire more people to work when we finally open the factory.
“My daughter also said we’ll only hire women to work, and it’s also to help take care of the women in our village.”
Su Binglan had considered before as this era was still feudal and conservative. Therefore, she only wanted to hire women to care for them.
Su Fengmao thought of his daughter’s words and continued, “Most of us men can work hard outside the village and find other things to do, so working at the tofu factory will be more convenient for women.
“They can work at the factory and earn five coins daily. The factory won’t be so big initially, so we’ll hire people from our village first.”
Su Fengmao’s words stunned everyone present. They all looked at him with eager and earnest eyes. “You have a point, Brother Su, but did I mishear?” “Is that true, Brother Su? Can my mother work too?!”
“Uncle Su, my wife is a good worker. She’s diligent and efficient, so I know she can do whatever tasks you have!”
If Su Binglan only wanted to hire women, everyone would feel at ease since the women could earn money by working in the factory. Everyone scrambled to tell Su Fengmao about their wives and mothers.
Su Fengmao understood how everyone felt. With an outstretched hand, he said, “Don’t worry, everyone. My daughter said she wants to hire women from our village to work in the factory only because it’s more convenient for them. “However, some tasks require strength, so we also need those who are diligent and hardworking. When the time comes, everyone can come to us for work if they want. My daughter will personally interview and choose who to work at the tofu Factory.”
The women of Su Teng Village were highly diligent because they all wanted to live good lives. Still, everyone’s constitution differed as some were weaker and could not do physical labor, just like Lin Chai’s wife, He Shi, whose body was weak. She could not even work in the fields..

Lin Chai knew his wife could not work in the tofu factory, but he would not despise his wife because of it. After all, He Shi did not despise him because he stuttered.
He thought if he could accept more work in the future, he would work enough for two people, making his wife feel more relaxed. Therefore, Lin Chai decided not to bring this matter up at home.
When he returned home, Miss He collected dried corn cobs in the yard. The dried corn cobs were light, and she needed them to prepare dinner. She had calculated the time for her husband to return so that he could have dinner as soon as he reached home.
Lin Chai returned and naturally took the basket from Miss He’s hands. Then he handed the five coins he had earned to her. “This is the money I’ve earned today.”
After returning from the fields these few days, Lin Chai would carefully take the money he earned and give it to his wife. Whenever Miss He received the money, she would always smile. “It must’ve been a hard day, huh?”
Lin Chai shook his head. “N -No, it wasn’t h-hard.”
After collecting his payment, he no longer felt tired since he wanted to improve his family’s conditions.
Miss He looked at her husband with heartache. ‘How could he not feel tired?’
She knew her husband did not want her to worry, so she feigned ignorance. “You should rest quickly. I’m going to cook, so dinner will be ready in a while. I didn’t expect you to get home so early today.”
Lin Chai said lowly, “W-We’ve completed the w-work on the fields, so I-I won’t have to go t-tomorrow.”
Even so, he wanted to do and earn more. Lin Chai dared not look at his wife’s expression because he feared she would feel depressed.
Miss He said smilingly, “That’s just right. You can rest at home now instead of tiring yourself out. Also, you’ve earned quite a lot for us, so let’s save up. Now we can also cut off a portion of meat and make dumplings during the New
Ads by Pubfuture Year.”
He had learned how to make dumplings from their neighbor, Miss Liu.
Many villagers had learned how to make dumplings from Shen Qiuhua.
Afterward, some villagers even taught their neighbors how to make them.
However, Lin Chai’s family was poor, so He Shi saved as much as possible.
She could not bear to use white flour to make dumplings when they harvested wheat during the summer. She also only used coarse flour to make wild vegetable dumplings once.
Lin Chai and his three sons said it was delicious, but even so, Miss He had to calculate the amount of coarse flour she used. They had enough to last a year but could not always make such foods.
Miss He wanted to wait until the New Year to make white flour dumplings. Lin
Chai looked at his wife’s smile and smiled back. “Y-Yes.’
He wanted to help his wife cook, but she urged him to return to his room and rest, “You should rest quickly. We’re relying on you, so it’s not good if you’re too tired.”
Their three sons were still young and could not help much. At that moment, the trio returned home. “Mother, look what we brought home!”
Their eldest son had a bundle of firewood tied behind his back, their second son used his clothes to carry something else, and their third son followed behind.
Miss He hurriedly went to her children and asked, “What did you get?”
“Mother, look.”
Ads by Pubfuture Miss He became excited when she saw the eggs her children had found. Her voice trembled, “Where did you find these?” She counted the eggs and realized her sons had brought home six of them.
“We found them at the mountain when Big Brother brought us to chop firewood. We found the eggs under a tree.”
Miss He happily stroked her sons’ heads, saying, “This is perfect, you guys!”
Her eldest son was only ten years old. He said, “We could incubate these eggs and raise the chicks. They can lay more eggs when they grow up, and we can sell them for money.”
He knew Su Fenchen collected chicken and duck eggs.
Lin Chai’s family only had one hen in the past. After the hen laid some eggs, Miss He saved some with great difficulty and tried selling them for money. However, they still had to set aside a few to incubate.
But Miss He only managed to hatch a rooster and a hen from those few eggs. She sold the rooster to Old Madam Su when it grew up and kept the hen to continue laying eggs.
Lin Chai’s family only had two hens that laid eggs, so they had difficulty selling them to earn money.
Nonetheless, Miss He took the six eggs her sons found and placed them in a small basket beside her. She said, “We’ll eat one of these eggs tonight. I’ll make wild vegetable soup with an egg for you guys. As for the remaining five, we’ll incubate them.”
After all, her sons had painstakingly found the eggs, so she had to make something delicious for them to eat. Still, Miss He could not use all of them at once. Although the family was poor, she did not want to mistreat her sons.
Miss He’s youngest son was five years old, and he was excited, saying, “Yay, we’re having egg soup tonight!”
Miss He laughed and said to her eldest son, “Quickly put down the firewood and wash your hands. We’ll have dinner in a while.”
Her eldest son replied, “I’ll help you light the fire, Mother.”
Children of low-income families typically took charge of the household at an extremely young age. Hence, Miss He’s three sons were very mature for their ages.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture The eldest and second sons usually helped around the house. Although they could not do much, they always did their best to help.
After the autumn harvest, the farming work was over, so the boys wanted to cut and gather more firewood. Then they would have things to burn during the winter.
However, they did not expect to find eggs at the foot of the mountain. It was an unexpected harvest for Lin Chai’s family, and they were thrilled.
Later that night, the family ate coarse flour buns and drank wild vegetable and egg soup. They felt satisfied.
Li Dazhuang went home and quickly handed the money he earned to his grandmother since she was in charge of the family’s money.
Old Madam Li carefully wrapped the money in some cloth and put it away as she spoke, “You must feel exhausted these days.”
Li Dazhuang shook his head and said, “I’m not too tired. I feel at ease since I can earn money.” He was not afraid of hardships, but he was afraid of having nothing to do.
Old Madam Li patted his shoulder. “I heard the Su family will build a big tofu factory soon. Did they say anything about it?” @@novelbin@@
“They did.”
Old Madam Li said, “They might also need to hire people for that, and you’ve been performing well recently. I know they’ve noticed, so they might even hire you to work at the factory.”
Indeed, she was old but could see everything.
Li Dazhuang shook his head and said, “Su Fengmao said they will only hire women to work in the factory, not men.”
Old Madam Li was stunned and said with some regret, “I see, but Su Fengmao is a good man. Doing this makes it more convenient for many villagers.” “It’s indeed a good thing for many people,” Li Dazhuang said.
Old Madam Su responded, “I will feel at ease if you can work for the Su family. It’s just that your sister is still young. Otherwise, she can work in the tofu factory.”
When Li Erying heard these words, she said, “I’m not afraid of hardships, Grandma. I have the strength to work in the factory.”
She knew her family’s conditions and that her grandmother’s health was worsening. Old Madam Li trembled while walking but was still managing the family.
Li Erying’s heart ached when she saw this. She wished she could earn money for her family just like her brother did.
Old Madam Li said, “You’re still young, so they might not hire you.”
Then she looked at Li Dazhuang and said, “Didn’t you used to play with Su San when you were a kid? See if he needs any help, then you can follow him and work for free for a while..

Old Madam Li referred to Su Wenwu as Su San. She felt she was not in a good mental state these days and feared she would not make it through the winter. She had been holding on because she wanted to settle her two grandchildren first.
After all, what would happen to them if she left? Therefore, Old Madam Li always thought of ways to help her grandchildren. She knew the Su family members were good people, so it would be a good way out if Li Dazhuang could work for them.
Moreover, Old Madam Li knew the Su family’s lives would only continue improving.
Li Dazhuang felt confused and said, “Wenwu and I haven’t played together for many years, Grandma. Are you sure it’s all right for me to ask him for work?”
Li Dazhuang was carefree when his parents were still around. They would let him go out and play with his friends at that time, and he got along with Su Wenwu best then.
But when Li Dazhuang’s parents passed, he had no choice but to support his family. Hence, he could no longer play with Su Wenwu as he had to work hard every day. Simultaneously, he also felt inferior, so he did not look for Su Wenwu.
Old Madam Su sighed and said, “Go and see him. You can do your best to help if Su San needs it. It’s good to be his helper and run errands for him. Still, the autumn harvest has ended, and you don’t have much to do at home. Why don’t you go and find something to do?”
Li Dazhuang looked at his grandmother’s old appearance and nodded. “Okay, Grandma.”
He knew Old Madam Li was doing this for his good, but she had her own ideas.
Ads by Pubfuture She knew her grandson valued friendship and loyalty if he worked alongside Su Wenwu, even if Li Dazhuang suddenly felt like that.
After all, she wished the Su family could take care of Li Dazhuang. The family would have a better life if Li Dazhuang could work under Su Wenwu.
Li Erying was a sensible person who could work. Unfortunately, she was only ten years old, and no one would hire her to help with anything. Also, she had a younger brother that relied on her and Li Dazhuang.
Old Madam Li could not help but sigh with that thought in mind.
After dinner, Li Dazhuang went to look for Su Wenwu because he knew the Su family was busy during the day. The Su family would probably only have free time during the night.
Li Dazhuang stood at the Su family’s house entrance. The door and house were massive. He wanted to knock on the door bolt, but he was hesitant.
He felt embarrassed to face the Su family, so he went home. He thought of looking for Su Wenwu the following morning instead.
Meanwhile, in the other households, many remembered Su Fengmao’s words and could not wait to talk about the factory when they got home. Everyone was excited when they heard about the factory.
Wang Quan gave his mother the five coins he earned when he got home. Then he talked about the factory.
His mother widened her eyes in excitement and said, “R-Really? Are they only hiring women from the village?
Wang Quan said, “Of course. I heard that from Su Fengmao himself.”
Ads by Pubfuture “This is perfect! Your wife and I are hard workers, so can we work at the factory? But who will cook? Who will feed the pigs, chicken, and ducks while your wife and I work at the factory?”
Every household in Su Teng Village raised chickens and ducks, but few had pigs because they were expensive.
Wang Quan’s father had severely injured his waist in the past and could no longer do heavy work. He heard his wife’s question and said, “I’ll learn to cook. Feeding the livestock won’t tire me out, so don’t worry. You and our daughter-in-law can go and work at the factory.”
After all, if the two women worked at the factory, they could earn ten copper coins daily.
Wang Quan’s mother, Mrs. Li, looked at her second son, who was about to turn fifteen. Initially, she had thought of marrying him off after the New Year, but it seemed better if he could start a family now.
“What do you think, Wang Cheng? Mother wants you to get married.”
Wang Cheng’s face was a bit thin. He lowered his head and said, “I’ll listen to what Mother says.” He knew his parents only wanted the best for him.
His father said, “Can we afford to pay the dowry now? We should at least offer one silver tael, considering our family’s condition. We must find a good wife for Weng Chen.”
Indeed, the dowry was a little more expensive.
Mrs. Li said, “Our village is different from the others now. We have a tofu factory, and we can get it for cheap. Who knows if there might be more good things like these in the future?
“That’s why girls will be willing to move to our village. Besides, our village’s conditions are better than other villages. Have you seen the other villages? Some even freeze to death there. That hasn’t happened in our village in the past few years.”
Personalised Recommendations You Can't Miss Personalised Recommendations You Can't Miss DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Everyone thought about what Mrs. Li said and agreed it was the case. Su Teng Village was united, and their village chief was a good person. Granduncle Su always prioritized his villagers.
Wang Cheng said, “I heard Su Fengzhi’s family makes their own charcoal. If that’s the case, he’ll sell them cheaper in the future. By then, no one will freeze to death during the winter.”
Wang Quan echoed, “Second Brother is right. Our village also has bricks, and isn’t Su Zhengde forming more construction teams? He also prioritizes our village members when choosing his construction team.”
Mrs. Li said smilingly, “Our Village has more benefits than others. Many more girls will be willing to move here in the future.”
Many families were discussing this matter. Although some did not work in the fields, they had also heard about the tofu factory.
“The Su family will hire people to work at their factory soon. I know they’ll choose our family to work for them.”
“Fortunately, we’ve worked hard for them. The Su family should’ve noticed us.” “It’s good that they’re hiring women this time.”
“They might not choose us, but we must at least try. The tofu factory looks big, so the Su family will probably hire more people.”
“We hope the Su family’s business will continue to grow. Then our village will benefit from it.
Some women also helped Su Fengchen cook grilled chicken and roast duck and could earn a few coins daily.
When they heard about the tofu factory, some said, “Since we already have jobs, we can let others work at the factory.”
“Still, the factory is an excellent opportunity for the villagers.” @@novelbin@@
“That’s right. We can earn money every day since we help Su Fengchen. Our families’ lives are better now, and we can afford better food for our children.’
Meanwhile, the Su family ate at home as usual. The heated platform was hot and big enough for the whole family to sit on. Everyone chatted as they ate.
Su Fengmao said excitedly, “The workers have planted soybeans on all fifty acres of our land. We can make more tofu in the factory once the soybeans mature.”
Su Wenzhe smiled. “I told many visitors that we are opening a tofu factory soon and we’ll have many products. When the time comes, everyone will come to our village to buy tofu.”
Liu Yinyin added, “Oh right, Drunken Cloud’s manager came to us after hearing the news. Mr. Wang said he wants to cooperate with us by using our tofu products. He said he would send them to other places too. It seems he’ll order a lot of tofu from us..

Su Wenxiu said, “The tofu products we make aren’t available elsewhere. We’ll considerably profit if we ship and sell them in other towns and villages.
Su Wenwu thought of when he had gone on a trip with his friends and saw other Drunken Could restaurants. He said, “There are Drunken Cloud restaurants in other places too.
“They’re the Xu family’s businesses. No wonder Drunken Cloud is so famous. It seems they know how to do business.”
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “If they plan to ship our products to other places and sell them, Drunken Cloud will order many of our tofu. That’s a big deal. If we discuss a collaboration, we must write down many conditions.”
Su Wenzhe’s head started to hurt. “Sister, you should know these details best. We’d need your help if we were to discuss a collaboration.”
Su Binglan said straightforwardly, “That’s simple. I can help you come up with an agreement contract. You guys can tell me what you think about that since I’ll include many things.
“When other businesses see Drunken Cloud thriving on our tofu products, they will also want to take a share. Those people will also look to collaborate with us when the time comes.”
Su Wenzhe felt a warmth in his heart when he heard that. “In that case, we can make a fortune by relying on tofu.”
He knew it was a good thing since he did not need to be in charge of sales. Others have already begun pre-ordering his tofu. Then, he would only need to collect the money. He did not even need to worry much about selling tofu. Liu Yinyin became excited. She had been in a good mood recently and had eaten a lot.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenwu also told Su Binglan about the recent progress. He said, “I’ve discussed collaborations with two of my close friends from the neighboring village. They will be in charge of providing pork, mutton, and vegetables to our hotpot restaurant. But should I teach them how to make meatballs?
“Also, I’ll look for someone in our village named Li Dazhuang. We used to play together when we were kids, but I haven’t seen him since his parents passed away. His family isn’t doing well, so I thought I could lend them a hand.”
Su Fengmao had an impression of Li Dazhuang when Su Wenwu mentioned him. Su Fengmao had been watching over the fields over the past few days, so he knew everyone and how they worked.
He said, “That boy is a good person. He can work hard and speak well. I can tell he knows how to repay a debt of gratitude.
“We could put him in charge of delivering our goods. I’ll go and ask him after dinner,” Su Wenwu seconded.
Previously, Li Dazhuang had helped the Su family reclaim land for farming, so Su Wenwu had not gone to look for him. Since the land was clear for farming, Su Wenwu could talk to Li Dazhuang about this matter.
He knew how delicious the meatballs would be in a hotpot. When the time came, many would order them. However, they had to make the meatballs to order to be fresh.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Indeed, the meatballs are fantastic. How about this? Since the tofu factory is big enough, we can reserve a space to teach everyone how to make meatballs. Then we can supply those meatballs to the hotpot restaurant.”
Shen Qiuhua hesitated, so she asked, “Does your hotpot restaurant need that many things, Binglan?”
Su Binglan was confident about this, saying, “Don’t worry, Mother. There will be many who will come and eat at the hotpot restaurant. Although the restaurant is expansive and can accommodate many people, I know there will still be a line outside.
“I plan to open a few more hotpot restaurants when the restaurant’s reputation spreads and everyone discovers how delicious it is.”
Ads by Pubfuture She thought about opening a chain of restaurants in the future, including Su’s Hotpot restaurants in the entire country. That’s why she wanted a lot of ingredients.
Still, it was just the beginning, and Su Binglan would increase the number of ingredients one step at a time.
Su Wenwu’s blood boiled when he heard his sister’s plan. He was excited to work for his sister. When the time came, the entire Chu Country would know about their hotpot restaurants. Everyone in the Su family trusted Su Binglan because she always did as she said.
Su Binglan still had many things to do but had recently spent a lot of money to open a hotpot restaurant and a tofu factory. She needed to earn more money to do many more things.
After eating, Su Binglan brought Liu Yinyin to the guest rooms’ courtyard on the house’s west side. That was where Luo Kang’s family and Du Xiaoju lived.
When she brought them back the other day, she did not let them work for two days and told them to rest instead. Su Binglan even concocted and brewed medicine for them. After giving them the medicine for two days, Luo Kang’s family and Du Xiaoju completely recovered.
Over the past few days, Luo Kang’s family and Du Xiaoju followed the Su family as they worked. Du Xiaoju was by Su Binglan, working as her assistant, while Luo Kang’s family had been helping to grind soybeans.
Initially, the four had to help with all the Su family’s work. Even when it came to cooking, Qiu He would fight to help Shen Qiuhua. However, Shen Qiuhua was not used to others serving her.
She could not let others serve her after thinking of how she lived in the past. Shen Qiuhua had grown accustomed to doing everything herself and working diligently. She felt at ease that way.
Also, the family typically ate and talked together, so Shen Qiuhua felt her family could not talk about certain things when outsiders were present.
Therefore, Su Binglan let Luo Kang’s family and Du Xiaoju cook for themselves.

Su Binglan usually brought Du Xiaoju along because she wanted to nurture Du Xiaoju. Qiu He and Du Xiaoju felt like they were dreaming during that period.
Of course, they were servants at the Su family’s house, but Su Binglan never treated them as such. The four people ate well, rested well, and did not do much work. @@novelbin@@
“The Su family members are good people.”
The four were eating together, so Luo Kang and his wife treated Du Xiaoju as their own.
Du Xiaoju said, “Miss Su is wonderful. She teaches me many principles, tells me many things, and even teaches me how to read.”
Su Binglan would teach Du Xiaoju these things whenever she had the time. Du Xiaoju’s eyes showed gratitude when she mentioned what Su Binglan did for her.
Luo Juan looked at Du Xioaju enviously. “I want to be by Miss Su’s side too.”
At first, Luo Juan was afraid and timid, but after being with the Su family for many days, she knew they were good people. Therefore, she was no longer afraid of them.
Qiu He said, “Don’t worry, Juan. Miss Su said she would bring you along in the future. It would help if you got used to the environment first.”
Su Binglan treated Luo Juan like a child and wanted her to get used to the Su family with her parents before teaching Luo Juan.
The four were eating when Su Binglan came over. They hurriedly stood up and greeted her respectfully, “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan said, “You don’t have to be so polite. I just came here to check on you guys. Are you all used to living here?”
“You’re too nice, Miss Su. The environment is excellent, so we’re used to living here. We must thank you for all this, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan said, “That’s good. Miss Qiu, from tomorrow onward, you will help my mother, and Mr. Luo, you will help my father. As for Juan and Xiaoju, you two will be by my side as I’ll arrange for you to do certain things.”
“Yes, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan returned to her room after saying a few more words. Then she removed many sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension..

Then she went to push the cart of sweet potatoes into the warehouse since Liu Yiniyin’s parents needed them to make noodles.
The Liu family would come to collect their goods every once in a while. Typically, they would have arrived to buy sweet potatoes on that day, but since they did not show up, Su Binglan simply prepared the sweet potatoes in advance and put them aside.
Fortunately, the things in her pocket dimension grew fast, and she had enough sweet potatoes there. Su Binglan also prepared to store more sweet potatoes in the warehouse so she could give some to everyone else to grow when spring arrived.
Her yield of sweet potatoes were very high, not to mention the pocket dimension-improved seeds. So, as long as the villagers worked hard, every family would not have to go hungry.
After dinner, Liu Yinyin helped to clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the main dining area. She also soaked the herbal eggs that she and her husband would sell the following morning.
Afterward, she prepared to return to her courtyard. When she arrived, she happened to see Su Binglan pushing a cart. She hurriedly ran over, saying, “I’ll help you, Binglan. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Liu Yinyin felt her heart ache when she saw her sister-in-law pushing such a heavy cart. She knew Su Binglan was a person who did important things, so how could she do such heavy work?
“I’m okay. I’m not tired at all.” Su Binglan had better physical strength than ordinary people. She knew this probably had some things to do with drinking spiritual spring water.
Liu Yinyin also felt that she had become stronger. She could easily push a cart with three sacks full of items. She wondered if she had gained such strength from eating more.
The family did not know that Su Binglan had added spiritual spring water in the water tank at home, which could improve everyone’s physique. If one possessed an improved physique, one would not get easily tired from working. Liu Yinyin asked curiously, “What’s in the cart, Binglan?” @@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan explained, “They’re sweet potatoes. Your parents typically come and buy them every few days. Your parents said they would come today but didn’t show up, so I thought of putting these aside first.”
Liu Yinyin felt touched. “Thank you, Binglan!”
“I’ve already said you don’t need to thank me, Sister-in-law.”
Liu Yinyin was grateful to Su Binglan. “You even made a trip to the mountain for these potatoes. Next time, you can tell me, and I’ll help you collect them. This place is very remote, and it’s easy for you to get lost.”
Su Binglan usually collected the sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension, but she told her family she collected them from deep in the mountain. She also told them she planted some there and would bring them home once in a while. Of course, no one doubted her words.
The duo was talking when Liu Yinyin’s parents arrived. The gate was open, but
Liu Yinyin’s mother patted the latch and asked, “Are my in-laws here?”
Liu Yinyin heard her mother and said excitedly, “Oh, that’s my mother’s voice.”
She was so excited that she wanted to run toward the gate but did not move when she thought about the sweet potatoes in the cart.
Su Binglan said, “Your parents are probably here to collect the sweet potatoes.
Let’s push the cart to the gate.”
“Okay.” Liu Yinyin and Su Binglan walked out.
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao also heard the voice and came out of the back room. Meanwhile, Su Wenxiu used the moonlight in the backyard as a light source to gather his medicinal herbs.
He would typically go to Hundred Herb Hospital to study during the day. Then he would find time to gather his herbs when he returned at night. Su Wenxiu studied and worked hard every day.
Everyone did their work after dinner while Su Wenwu looked for Li Dazhuang.
Shen Qiuhua and her husband went to the gate to welcome Liu Yinyin’s parents. “Our in-laws are here. Come in quickly.”
Mr. and Mrs. Liu felt embarrassed. “Sorry, we’re so late. We didn’t disturb your rest, did we?”
Shen Qiuhua said, “That’s nonsense. It’s our night off, so it’s okay. Still, it would be best if you came earlier next time, then you can make it for dinner. I want you two to try my cooking.” Mrs. Liu said embarrassedly, “No, that’s too troublesome for you.”
“You’re family, so it’s no trouble at all.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. and Mrs. Liu said they were there to collect the sweet potatoes.
Liu Yinyin looked at the oxcart at the gate and said excitedly, “Father, Mother, did you guys buy a cow?”
Although the Su family’s conditions had improved, Liu Yinyin still missed her parents. She was ecstatic when she noticed that her parents had brought an oxcart.
She would have thought her parents had rented the oxcart if it were the past.
However, she knew her parents could afford to buy an oxcart now.
Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture When Liu Yinyin previously delivered the goods to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Liu said they were planning to buy an oxcart. After all, they had earned a lot from selling their duck blood vermicelli.
Mrs. Liu explained smilingly, “Yes, that oxcart belongs to us. We bought it for eight silver taels, and it’s still a calf. It’s not as strong as a bull, so it was cheaper. Your father and I thought we only needed it to transport things back and forth. That’s why we decided to get a calf.”
Liu Yinyin approached the calf and excitedly patted it. Although the Su family also had an oxcart, she and her husband rode it to town almost daily. Still, she felt different looking at the oxcart her parents had bought.
How could she not worry about her parents? She was their daughter, after all. Liu Yinyin was genuinely happy for them.
Shen Qiuhua said, “It’s always more convenient to have an oxcart that can help travel back and forth to town. It’s also perfect for transporting items instead of tiring yourself out by pushing a cart.”
Willow Village was further away from town than Su Teng Village. Therefore, Liu Yinyin’s family would take a long time to get to town, and pushing a cart back and forth was tiring. Nonetheless, things were easier now since her family owned an oxcart.
Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “It’s all thanks to Binglan. We made some money with our duck blood vermicelli, so we could afford an oxcart.
The oxcart cost eight silver taels, previously a lot of money for the Liu family. They were not willing to spend that much on an oxcart then. They only depended on themselves and put in a lot more effort to save money to buy the oxcart.
At this time, Mrs. Liu felt that her health was important. After all, if one was healthy, one could continue doing business and earn money.
Shen Qiuhua also experienced those hardships, so she understood how Mrs.
Liu felt very well. “It’s the same here. Our lives will only continue to improve.”
Mr. and Mrs. Liu’s smiles were about to overflow. “We planned to come earlier today, but we had something to do in the village. We just finished our work.”
Liu Yinyin said, “These are the sweet potatoes, Mother. Binglan had just prepared them. She thought you wouldn’t come today, so she planned to put them in the warehouse for you.”
Mrs. Liu smiled at Su Binglan. “Thank you so much, Binglan.”
“It’s no trouble, Mrs. Liu. Come in and have some water.”
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, “We can’t stay for long since we have some work to do at home. Let’s weigh the sweet potatoes first.”
Su Fengmao took the big scale from inside the house. The hook could withstand heavy crops. He lifted a sack of sweet potatoes, put it on the hook, and it weighed 52 pounds.”
He tried to weigh them less so that Mr. and Mrs. Liu would spend less money..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mr. and Mrs. Liu watched the scale closely and initially saw 53 pounds. Su Fengmao had undercharged by one pound, which Su Binglan had arranged. It looked good on the surface and made others feel comfortable.
There were three sacks of sweet potatoes, which totaled 162 pounds. After calculating the cost, it was 320 copper coins, which was very cheap. The Liu family could make more noodles now and earn quite a bit more.
Mrs. Liu said, “Hey, we feel embarrassed that you guys always charge us less.”
Su Fengmao said, “We’re in-laws, so there’s no need to worry. You guys are living good lives, which makes Yinyin happy.”
At that moment, Shen Qiuhua took two bowls of warm water from the house and handed them to Liu Yinyin’s parents. “Here, drink some water. You two hurried here and probably didn’t have time to drink.”
Mr. and Mrs. Liu did not argue and drank the water. Indeed, they had been busy all day and did not have time to hydrate themselves. Still, they felt energetic on busy days because they could earn money. It was better than having nothing to do and panicking.
Mrs. Liu gave her daughter the money for the sweet potatoes while Su Fengmao and Mr. Liu loaded the sweet potatoes onto the oxcart. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Liu Yinyin’s parents left.
Liu Yinyin looked at the door and looked at her parents’ figures. She felt reluctant to part with them. She missed the days when she was by her parents’ side.
However, she grew up, married, and had children, so she could not always see her parents. She missed them from the bottom of her heart.
Liu Yinyin felt relieved because she knew her family’s days were improving and that her sister-in-law and brother treated her parents well. Therefore, she sincerely thanked Su Binglan. She could not describe how happy she felt.
Ads by Pubfuture Mr. and Mrs. Liu sat on their oxcart and waved at their daughter. “It’s cold outside. You should go back in the house.”
“I will!” Liu Yinyin waved back at her parents as she became teary-eyed.
She knew she had a good childhood because of how carefree she was. She reminisced about her parents being young, but now they had gray hair on their heads. Looking at them aging did not feel good to Liu Yinyin.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu sat on their oxcart and went off. The two could not help but turn and look back at their daughter. They only reluctantly looked away when they could no longer see Su Teng Village.
Mrs. Liu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and sighed, “I know we’re from the neighboring village, but we still can’t bear to part with Yinyin.”
Mr. Liu was also reluctant to part with his daughter, but as a man, he could not show it—instead, he comforted his wife, “Yinyin is doing well, and her in-laws are good people. The whole family is, so we should feel happy for her.”
Mrs. Liu composed herself and sighed again. “Yes, we should be happy. Yinyin and Wenzhe are running their tofu business together, and their lives will only keep improving.
“Also, Yinyin told me last time that Xuexuan loves to study and is good at it.
That’s a good thing.”
Mr. Liu said proudly, “The Su family is famous throughout their village and ours. Some time ago, Fengmao came to our village to buy eggs, ducks, and chickens. Everyone knew about it.
“Most villagers envy us because our daughter has married a Su family member, and she can enjoy a good life.”
Mrs. Liu smiled at the thought of that. “You’re right. Everyone envies Yinyin and us. Our villagers laughed at us in the past because the Su family was in poor conditions.”
Ads by Pubfuture “No matter what others say, we must live our lives well. If we do that, no one can laugh at us,” Mr. Liu said.
Mrs. Liu nodded. “Yes, that makes sense. Yinyin said their tofu factory would be huge. They might not hire many people at the start, but they will in the future. They may even hire people from surrounding villages.
“Since Willow Village is close to Su Teng Village, some of our village folk will probably want to go there.”
After some thought, Mr. Liu said, “They might come to us when the time comes, but we can’t be foolish and make decisions for the Su family. That’s something we shouldn’t ask about.”
Mrs. Liu said thoughtfully, “Of course, I know that. We can’t pretend we know about that for our reputation.”
However, she seemed to have sensed something and said, “Also, did you notice how delicious the Su family’s water is? It was so sweet and refreshing to drink.”
“Yeah, I felt it too. It was different from the water in our house. I felt extremely refreshed after drinking the water from the Su family’s house,” Mr. Liu seconded.
“Me too! I was exhausted just now but not anymore after drinking their water. I felt very energetic.”
Su Wenwu went to Li Dazhuang’s house. He was still awake, chopping firewood in the yard under the moonlight since he had nothing to do recently.
He wanted to store enough firewood for the winter to heat the platform because he did not want his grandmother to catch a cold. Li Dazhuang was not afraid of the cold, but he feared his grandmother would be unable to withstand it.
When Su Wenwu arrived at the door, he saw Li Dazhuang chopping firewood. Sounds of chickens and ducks also echoed in the yard. He knew Li Dazhuang’s family had many ducks and chickens.
He heard from his mother that Old Madam Li was a good worker when she was young. Old Madam Li was diligent and knew how to live while taking good care of the house inside and out.

However, things changed when his parents passed, and his grandmother became ill.
“Dazhuang?”
Li Dazhuang was chopping firewood when he heard someone’s voice. He thought he had misheard, but he instinctively turned and saw Su Wenwu. He was stunned and dropped the ax he was holding.
‘W-Wenwu?”
Su Wenwu said smilingly, “Yeah, it’s me.” @@novelbin@@
Li Dazhuang was so excited that he forgot about the ax that fell to the ground and almost hit his foot.
“Hey, be careful.”
Li Dazhuang happily welcomed Su Wenwu into the yard. “I was just thinking about you, and you came.”
The two were best friends when they were kids. They had been busy with their own things all these years but still picked up where they had left off when they met again.
Su Wenwu laughed loudly, “Why did you think about me? We’re you thinking about all the dumb things we did when we were kids?”
The two went up the mountain to dig for eggs and fish in the river when they were young. They even troubled the dogs in the village, and the dogs chased them off. Thinking back to their childhood, it was pretty great.
“Come in, come in.”
Meanwhile, Old Madam Li looked at the eggs in the house. The heated platform was hot, so it would be easier to hatch them into ducks and chickens if she put the eggs near it.
She would gather duck and chicken eggs every once in a while and sell some to Su Fengmao. Then she kept the rest and incubated them.
The family had large chicken and duck coops in their yard that took up almost half of the space. That was also something Old Madam Li had set up for her grandchildren.
They had many ducks and chickens to lay eggs, and the family would earn money by selling them. Even if Old Madam Li was no longer around, her grandchildren could still eat their fill.
She was on the heated platform with Li Erying while her grandson was peeling corn. They trio looked out through the window when they heard the commotion outside..

Old Madam Li saw Su Wenwu and immediately felt energized. She did not care about her physical condition and got down from the heated platform to welcome him.
The house door opened, and Su Wenwi saw Old Madam Li getting down from the heated platform. “Hello, Madam Li!”
Old Madam Li happily said, “Wenwu, you’re here! Quick, sit on the heated platform. It’s warm.”
“Madam Li, get back on the platform. Don’t tire yourself out.” Su Wenwu looked at the older lady’s appearance and dared not even hold her arm. His heart ached when he looked at her.
“You should get on the platform too, Wenwu.”
Su Wenwu nodded. “I will.” He prepared to help the older lady get on the platform as he spoke.
Old Madam Li held onto the edge of the platform and got up. However, her legs were no longer agile, so she had trouble getting up. Li Dazhuang was the one who hurriedly helped her up.
Li erying said politely, “Hello, Third Brother Su.”
“Hello, Erying!”
Li Sanzhu was more introverted, so he said lowly, “Hello, Third Brother Su.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Hello, Sanzhu!”
Su Wenwu revealed some snacks in his hand, saying, “I didn’t bring much, just enough for you guys to try.”
Old Madam Li hurriedly declined, “Oh, you didn’t need to do that. We’re happy enough that you visited. What else did you bring?”
Su Wenwu said smilingly, “I made these myself and brought them here. Why would you decline? Besides, I came looking for Dazhuang because I have something to discuss with him.”
Old Madam Li smiled back, saying, “Then I won’t argue.”
She knew Su Wenwu was sincere when he brought things over and wanted them to accept it. Then she said to Li Erying and Li Sanzhu, “Hurry up and thank Wenwu. ”
“Thank you, Third Brother Su!”
“Thank you, Third Brother Su.”
Li Erying and Li Sanzhu did not have any snacks throughout the year. It was good enough for them even to eat an egg occasionally. However, they had gotten some snacks when Su Fengmao threw some off the beam at his family’s new house.
The two siblings could not bear to eat them, so they brought them home and gave them to their grandmother to eat. Still, Old Madam Su declined and let the two siblings have the snacks instead.
The snacks were so delicious that the Li siblings could still remember how they tasted. Therefore, their eyes lit up when they saw that Su Wenwu had brought more snacks.
However, the Li siblings tried their best to control their emotions. It was just that their eyes could not deceive anyone.
Old Madam Li said, “You and Dazhuang should go into the back room to talk.”
Ads by Pubfuture She thought it might be inconvenient for the two to be there, so she took the initiative to help Su Wenwu out of the predicament. It also prevented Su Wenwu from feeling uneasy about the important things he was about to discuss with Li Dazhuang.
Su Wenwu said, “It’s okay Madam Li. We can talk here. My sister is preparing to open a hotpot restaurant in town, and she needs ingredients for the hotpot, like pork, mutton, and some vegetables. I wanted to find someone to help me stock up. @@novelbin@@
“Don’t worry. Dazhuang only needs to run errands and collect the meat and produce. Of course, we will slaughter the pigs and sheep ourselves. My family will also send the mutton, pork, and vegetables to the restaurant.
“I will pay the workers a monthly salary of two silver taels each. There will be bonuses for those who perform well. When we establish the scale, Dazhuang and the others can work as managers and hire others to take over. At that time, the managers will earn more money.”
Su Wenwu had thought about this and knew his three friends would not have money to buy meat. Since that was the case, Su Wenwu would manage that while his three friends collected and delivered the meat to him.
‘Two silver taels monthly?’ Old Madam Li, who had experienced many things, felt excited as two silver taels were a considerable amount of money. Even Li Erying and Li Sanzhu were stunned and forgot to continue peeling corn.
‘Did I mishear?’
Two silver taels were a large sum of money to Li Erying and Li Sanzhu. It would add up to twenty-four silver taels a year, and Su Wenwu said there would also be a bonus.
Li Erying’s eyes burned with passion. She thought she would follow her eldest brother if she were not so young. Meanwhile, Old Madam Li could not find her voice for a long while. Her lips moved, but she could not speak.
If Li Dazhuang worked for Su Wenwu, the Li family would no longer have to worry about their livelihoods. Moreover, the Su family members were good people since Su Wenwu was there to help them.
Li Dazhuang’s eyes widened. “W-Wenwu, are you telling us the truth?”
He rubbed his hands on his clothes as he did not know what to do with them. ‘Two silver taels monthly are a considerable amount. I couldn’t even earn one silver tael in the past.’
Old Madam Li had been saving up for a betrothal gift for her eldest grandson’s potential wife, and it was still not enough.
Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenwu noticed Li Dazhuang and Old Madam Li’s expressions and thought of how he looked when he had just returned home from the capital. He looked clueless.
He still remembered thinking that two silver taels were more precious than anything else when he had just returned from the capital, but his family looked calm in comparison.
Su Wenwu wholly understood how Li Dazhuang and the others felt, but this time, it was his turn to appear calm in comparison.
He said very seriously, “What I said is true, Dazhuang. You didn’t mishear me. I would never lie, but my family and I will draw up a contract. When you sign it, you must abide by it.”
Li Dazhuang’s eyes reddened as he nodded and said, “All right, Wenwu. I will work with you from now on. Don’t worry, as I’m not the kind of person who would slack off. I’ll undoubtedly do what you say.”
He did not know how to express his gratitude but knew he had to work hard and sincerely earn his two silver taels.
‘With the two silver taels, Grandma will no longer have to work so hard. My family’s conditions will improve, and my siblings can eat better.’
Moreover, Li Dazhuang could save money for his sister’s dowry and leave a portion for his brother. Since he was the eldest brother, he felt responsible for his siblings and grandmother.
Still, Su Wenwu’s heart ached for Li Dazhuang. He knew he would not know what to do if he were in the same situation as Li Dazhuang.
Nonetheless, life had to continue, no matter what, and people had to live well. Therefore, Su Wenwu wanted to help his close friend.
He was warm-blooded but did not have the capabilities to help his friend out in the past. Since he could rely on Su Binglan, he decided he would help others. Of course, Su Binglan told Su Wenwu that helping others was good, but he had to choose someone worth helping.
After all, the Su family wanted to hire people to work and were not helping others unconditionally.
Old Madam Li discreetly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She said,
“We thank you, Wenwu.”
“Don’t thank me, Madam Li. I’m asking for Dazhuang’s help since I want to hire him. I should be saying thank you instead.”
Although Su Wenwu said so, Old Madam Li was not someone who did not know what was right. Su Wenwu did not look for anyone else considering this job opportunity. Instead, he looked for her eldest grandson because he wanted to help the family.
After Su Wenwu left, Old Madam Li said to her eldest grandson, “Always remember this favor. Wenwu is helping our family by helping you. Don’t forget your roots and work hard, even if your life is better in the future.”
Li Dazhuang became teary-eyed, but he tried his best not to cry. He nodded and sobbed, “I-I know, Grandma. I know..”

Li Erying and Li Sanzhu could not regain their senses for a long while. Suddenly, Li Erying said excitedly, “I didn’t mishear what Third Brother Su said just now, Grandma! Two silver taels monthly is a lot of money!”
Although she was only ten, she understood everything the others talked about. It was also because she had to mature early since her parents passed.
Old Madam Li looked at her granddaughter’s reaction and smiled. She knew what Li Erying heard had finally lifted the heavy burden in her heart. Old Madam Li said, “Yes, you didn’t mishear. Your big brother will work hard soon and earn a monthly salary. Our family’s conditions will improve now.
“Still, you must remember that this is what your big brother will earn. Since we have Dazhuang with us, our days will be better. It would be best if you also remembered Dazhuang’s favor.
“You and Sanzhu must also work hard to live better lives, Erying. Then, when you grow up, people will consider hiring you when they need people for work.
Everyone knows each other’s families in this village.”
Old Madam Li could not help but worry about the brotherhood between Su Wenwu and Li Dazhuang. She was also worried about Li Erying and Li Sanzhu. Therefore, she reminded them of these things from time to time.
She had thought of finding a wife for Li Dazhuang in the past but did not mind if the girl’s family was poor as long as her eldest grandson could live a good life.
However, she started thinking of finding a good girl from a good family. Then Li Dazhuang’s wife would treat his siblings well. After all, she only wanted her family to live in harmony.
Li Dazhuang said, “Grandma, I will let you control the money I earn. It will still be our family’s.”
Ads by Pubfuture He had never thought of splitting his family up. Naturally, he would care for his younger siblings. The main reason was that his siblings and grandmother could only rely on him since his parents had passed away. Their relationship was what kept them together.
Old Madam Li knew her eldest grandson’s character well and felt relieved.
A few days later, the hotpot restaurant was about to open as Su Zhengde’s team had completed the renovation. Su Binglan arrived at the restaurant in advance to check things out.
She even put out advertisements as before, telling Lin Zheng to find many beggars around town to help. Even Su Fengzhi promoted the hotpot restaurant to his customers as he served them his barbecued lamb skewers.
Su Wenzhe returned the favor by promoting Su Fengzhi’s skewers to his customers in the tofu shop.
The townsfolk quickly learned that a hotpot restaurant would open on the west side of town and that it was a new way of eating. Everyone looked forward to it. Many went to see the restaurant even before it opened.
The restaurant was massive, with signboards saying “Su’s Hotpot” on both the upper and lower floors. However, the doors were still closed, and everyone wondered what it looked like inside. @@novelbin@@
The more they wondered, the more curious they became.
Previously, Su Binglan had ordered clothes for many people. She went to the town’s clothing store to check it out and discovered it was not too big. It was a store run by a mother and daughter.
Although the store was not big, it had a good reputation. Therefore, Su Binglan chose to order some clothes from there. The lady boss, Miss Jiang, noticed that Su Binglan had arrived.
She hurriedly greeted Su Binglan with a smile, “Miss Binglan, You’re here.
Come in and take a seat. Xiaocheng, quickly pour a cup of water for Miss Binglan. ”
A sixteen-year-old slender girl poured a cup of water and walked out, handing it to Su Binglan. “Here, Miss Binglan. Have some water.”
Ads by Pubfuture Jiang Xiaocheng was two years older than Su Binglan. She felt very impressed with Su Binglan after hearing about her.
Miss Jiang removed a few sets of clothes from a closet, saying, “Miss Su, these are the clothes you ordered. I made it with the words ‘Su’s Hotpot’ embroidered on them. What do you think?”
Su Binglan took the uniforms and looked at them. Miss Jiang had made them with coarse cloth, and they had no patterns. The only thing on them was the apparent embroidered words. Still, the words looked immaculate.
“Yes, these are perfect.”
Miss Jiang said smilingly, “I’m delighted as long as you think so.”
She dared not treat Su Binglan as a little girl. Everyone in town knew about the dessert shop, haggis soup shop, and barbecue stall and that Su Binglan had pioneered them.
People used to call it Su’s Tofu in the past, but its name had changed to “haggis soup shop.” The townsfolk even heard the Su family would open a tofu factory soon.
Of course, Su Binglan had also ordered twenty sets of uniforms for the factory. Miss Jiang and her daughter worked through multiple nights to make them, and they were ready in just a few days.
Jiang Xiaocheng had initially opened the clothing store with her mother, but
Miss Jiang was the center of attention as many said terrible things about her. Since that was the case, Miss Jiang had low self-esteem. However, she realized how well women could live after meeting Su Binglan.
She once chatted with Su Binglan for a while, and Su Binglan advised her that she should not worry about what others say. Miss Jiang thought about that sentence and knew it was reasonable. Therefore, she straightened her attitude and got over it.
Su Binglan looked at Jiang Xiaocheng and could not help but encourage her, “It’s perfect for girls to have skills like this since women can support themselves without relying on others. No matter what others say, don’t let them affect your decisions as long as you know what’s right.”

However, she was powerless now, even though she had the heart to do it. Still, it was better to earn money first.
Jiang Xiaocheng looked at Su Binglan and understood what she meant. “Thank you, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan waved her hand and paid for the uniforms. Miss Jiang and her daughter were stunned as they benefited from what Su Binglan had said just now.
Su Binglan took the uniforms to the dessert shop to check on things there. The dessert shop’s business continued to boom since she had made all kinds of pastries.
Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan were in charge of running the shop. Even though they were swamped, the trio still worked hard. They were ecstatic when they saw their boss.
Lin Zheng showed Su Binglan the account book he had kept up to date. “Master, look, this is what you taught us. I’ve used the method you taught me to record the accounts. It’s so efficient!”
Su Binglan had taught Lin Zheng and the others how to read numbers. Afterward, she taught the trio how to keep accounts. Lin Zheng was brilliant and learned quickly.
“Master, it’s great that you taught us how to read numbers. My father praised your method when I went home to teach him about it. My family’s accountant also started using this method. He even said he could quickly finish his work by using your method, ” Lin Zheng excitedly told his master about these things.
Su Binglan flipped through the account book and said, “You’re doing well. You’re no longer having trouble keeping records, huh?”
Li Shi and Zhou Shan were slower when learning, but the duo still studied hard every day.
Lin Zheng was thrilled that his master had praised him. He said, “Oh right, your hotpot restaurant is about to open, Master. Should we send people to help?”
Su Binglan replied, “There’s no need. I’ve already hired people for that, so you three can still keep an eye on the dessert shop. It’s best if you see and learn as much as possible. I’ll need you guys when I open more restaurants in the future.’
She had prepared to train the trio to become managers, after all.
“Yes, Master.”
“Yes, Boss.’
Su Binglan gave the trio some instructions before leaving. She had just exited Su’s Desserts when she suddenly saw a figure not far from the door. The person held a horse while standing there and looking over.
Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him..

Su Binglan looked at the person from afar and could hardly breathe.
The person stood quietly by the street, wearing a white robe. The person was radiant, like an apricot blossom and spring rain. The sunlight shone on the person’s body through the shade of the trees along the street, giving his picturesque figure a gentle luster.
A light breeze blew past, blowing up his sleeves. It was as if it was blowing one’s heart away. Su Binglan looked at the person as her heart rippled. It was Luo Jin’an; he had finally returned.
After a while, Su Binglan returned to her senses and approached him. Luo Jin’an looked at her, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. His eyes seemed misty, and there was a gentle light in them. He seemed to suppress something behind his misty eyes.
Su Binglan slowly walked toward Luo Jin’an, and her heart started beating wildly with each step. She wondered why her heart was throbbing. She only felt that the sun was brightly shining when she saw him.
Her throbbing heart made her feel youthful like she was in a modern school romance. She only felt happy to see Luo Jin’an again. When Su Binglan almost reached him, Luo Jin’an took a few steps forward.
When the couple stood face to face, Su Binglan said smilingly, “You’re back!”
Her tone was natural, although she had been yearning for him to return. Luo Jin’an smiled elegantly, nodded, and said gently, “Yes, I’m back.”
Su Binglan looked into her husband’s gentle eyes, and her heartbeat turned frantic. Her eyelids trembled as she said, “Are you tired? Have you had lunch?”
Ads by Pubfuture She had many things to say to her husband, but those were the first questions she asked. She could not help because she worried her husband was tired and hungry, mainly because it was past noon, and she did not know if he had eaten.
“Oh, I’m not tired.” Still, Luo Jin’an had not eaten lunch because he was in a hurry to return. Maybe he had forgotten to eat because he was in a hurry to see his wife. Nonetheless, he was not tired.
Su Binglan looked around Luo Jin’an’s eyes and noticed black circles, so she knew he had not rested well recently.
She took the horse’s rope from his hand and said, “Let’s go to Wenzhe’s restaurant for some food first. We’ll go home after that so you can rest well. I’ll cook something delicious for you later tonight.”
Luo Jin’an said, “Okay.”
Su Binglan brought him to the haggis soup shop, and his expression changed when he saw the change on the signboard.
Su Binglan was careful and let Luo Jin’an stop. She followed his gaze to the signboard and explained, “We’re building a tofu factory and won’t be selling tofu here anymore. That’s why I changed the name to Su’s Haggis Soup.”
Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “Well, that’s good too.”
His eves were calm when he looked at his wife as if thev were full of emotion Su Binglan always thought her husband’s gaze was soul-stirring and had an incredible impact, making others unable to resist staring.
It was as if Luo Jin’an had a lot to say to his wife, but when she waited for him to say something, he said nothing. Still, his voice felt warm and gentle. It made others feel comfortable when listening to him.
Since the weather was colder, most had their haggis soup and sesame buns inside the restaurant. There were fewer people at the stalls outside. The few people only sat outside because the restaurant had no space left.
Ads by Pubfuture Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe mostly worked in the restaurant when Su Binglan brought Luo Jin’an into the restaurant. Liu Yinyin served the customers while her husband made more sesame buns.
“Hello, Big Brother. Hello Sister-in-law.”
The working couple looked up when they heard Su Binglan’s voice. However, they were stunned when they saw Luo Jin’an.
“Brother-in-law! You’re finally back!”
Luo Jin’an walked over from behind Su Binglan and said, “Hello,
Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law.”
Su Wenzhe was ecstatic, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise. “It’s really you! You’ve been gone for too long, Jin’an! Binglan told us your principal arranged for you to go to the prefecture capital, but I didn’t expect you to take so long.”
Liu Yinyin also said smilingly, “It’s good that you’re back. Our family is reunited now!”
Now that Luo Jin’an and Su Wenwu had returned, the Su family was finally whole again after such a long time.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Yinyin said, “Have you not eaten, Jin’an? Wait a moment. I’ll serve you some haggis soup, and you can have it with an omelet.”
She served Luo Jin’an a big bowl of haggis soup immediately after. She also prepared three dumplings for him. Two would have been enough, but Liu Yinyin thought otherwise.

Su Binglan had eaten but still liked accompanying her husband while he ate. Since there was no space left inside the restaurant, the couple went to the back room to eat.
The platform was warm since Su Wenzhe had been making sesame buns the whole morning. Hence, the couple took a table, sat on the heated platform, and ate.
Su Binglan did not ask Liu Yinyin to serve her anything because Su Binglan said she had already eaten lunch. Still, she was sitting beside Luo Jin’an, so he looked at her and pushed the haggis soup over. “You should eat too.”
“I’ve already had lunch, so I’m not hungry. It would be best if you ate.” Su Binglan looked at her husband with joy, thrilled that he had finally returned.
Still, Luo Jin’an scooped a spoonful of soup with meat and brought it to his wife’s mouth.
Su Binglan’s hands trembled when she noticed her husband’s actions and eyes. She thought his eyes were magical.
“I can drink it myself.” Su Binglan took the spoon from Luo Jin’an and drank the soup. Not only did she feel warmth in her stomach, but she also felt it in her heart. “Okay, now you eat. I’d be too full if I ate any more.”
At that moment, Luo Jin’an started eating the sesame bun with the soup since he was indeed hungry. Even so, his every move was elegant. Watching him eat was like watching a work of art in motion.
Luo Jin’an could feel his wife’s gaze, so he looked at her smilingly and asked softly, “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
He thought Su Binglan would answer honestly—instead, she put her hand on her cheek and said, “Guess!”
‘Ugh, why does this sound familiar?’ @@novelbin@@
“Hmph, I asked you something before, and you said the same thing, so I won’t tell you.” The answer was evident, but he did not say it.
Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan’s cute appearance and chuckled. “Well, okay.” His smile was charming, making Su Binglan feel all warm inside. It was a gentle feeling.
After a pause, Luo Jin’an said, “You can ask what happened.”
Bang!
Su Binglan felt like fireworks were going off in her heart at that moment..

Su Binglan moved her fingers and thought her husband was teasing her. She wondered if it was her imagination, but Luo Jin’an’s return differed from before since he sounded gentler.
She felt a doting look in her husband’s eyes whenever he lowered his head to look at her. Su Binglan felt like her husband ?was pampering her.
‘Sigh, I might be imagining things.’
She blinked and said smilingly, “I don’t think so.”
Luo Jin’an looked into his wife’s eyes and noticed them sparkling with liveliness as if they could speak. Su Binglan’s eyes could express her thoughts.
Looking at her, Luo Jin’an finally relaxed his tense mind. His heart was adrift when he left the village, but he felt at ease after returning since it was a place he felt safe.
Indeed, Liu Yinyin had given him a lot of food, but Luo Jin’an could not eat it all. Su Binglan looked at him and said, “Don’t eat it if you can’t.”
However, Luo Jin’an had never wasted food and continued eating, saying, “We can’t just waste it.”
During the war, Luo Jin’an and the soldiers had eaten tree bark in the military camp when the imperial court could no longer supply provisions. He knew how it felt and tasted, so he did not want to waste food.
Looking at Luo Jin’an’s expression, Su Binglan took a piece of the sesame bun, some haggis soup, and said, “I’ll eat it then.”
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an noticed her actions and was stunned. He said gently, “Don’t overeat.
I’ll rest for a while and continue eating later.”
Leaving food in the bowl was not polite since they were in Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin’s restaurant.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s okay. I had an early lunch and came to town immediately after. I was busy for a while, so I’ve gotten a little hungry.”
Then she took a spoon and started eating. Luo Jin’an clenched his fists and wanted to say he had eaten from the same spoon and bowl.
“Do you not mind?”
Of course, Su Binglan did not mind. Previously, she had fed Luo Jin’an the medicine the same way when he fell unconscious. Moreover, when Luo Jin’an drank the soup just now, he scooped a spoonful and drank it on the small plate beside him, not on the big bowl.
Like most who shared soup, Su Binglan scooped some from the big bowl and drank it with a smaller bowl underneath her chin.
‘He’s my husband, so why would I mind? Wait! Husband?!’ Su Binglan fell silent when she realized she had referenced Luo Jin’an as her husband. She seemed to treat her husband as her own and felt a different feeling in her heart.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an returned to the village after eating. She brought her husband to the new house, of course. “We moved in a while ago and have been living here ever since.”
She tied up the horse and continued, “Father and Mother should be busy with other things, so let me take you to our yard first. We have our own, by the way.”
Indeed, the new house was massive, leaving much room for the family in that spacious house. Moreover, everyone had a yard of their own.
Still, the family always ate together in the main hall. Then they could rest alone in their rooms more peacefully. The family was still together but felt more comfortable having their own space.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan took Luo Jin’an to their courtyard, entered the inner room, and said, “This room is yours. The quilt and mattress are new too.
‘i l didn’t know when you’d return, so I dried the sheets and blanket under the sun for you every few days. I just happened to do it yesterday. That’s your desk, and your books are on it. I’ll put your clothes and things in the cabinet for you.”
Luo Jin’an did not have many things, only some books and a few pieces of clothing. Su Binglan noticed Luo Jin’an had too few clothes and made more while he was away.
Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Su Binglan felt awkward when he said “thank you” so seriously. She responded instinctively, “We’re family, so there’s no need for you to thank me.”
She had grown accustomed to saying that because she always said that to her family members. However, Luo Jin’an felt touched when he heard that.
‘Family, huh?’
That word made Luo Jin’an feel warm inside. Although he was a little tired, he was not in a hurry to rest—instead, he said, “We handled matters at the prefecture very well this time. It was all thanks to the prescription you gave me.”
Su Binglan said, “Well, as long as it worked.”
After a momentary silence, she thought of the little boy and girl in her dream and asked softly, “Is King Ding okay?”
Luo Jin’an’s expression froze upon hearing his wife’s question. A chilling light glinted in his eyes. Su Binglan always thought her husband’s eyes could see through everything.
Luo Jin’an said calmly, “Yes, he’s okay. The people from the Legendary Medicine Valley found a herb and stabilized his condition. He’ll be fine for now.”
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 could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She always thought of Lan Rouzhu, the little boy in her dream, and that she was the little girl, Lan Rouzhu’s sister.
Either that, or she was overthinking. Still, Su Binglan did not need to worry too much since King Ding was okay.
“We’ve been busy at home recently. I’ll tell you everything in detail after you’ve rested.” Su Binglan instinctively treated Luo Jin’an as a member of the family, so she often filled him in on family matters.
Still, she knew resting was necessary and that she could discuss these things later. As she spoke, she was about to leave the room, but Luo Jin i an looked at her and said, “Wait a minute.”
Su Binglan was stunned and wondered what else her husband wanted to discuss.
Luo Jin’an untied a box and removed a jade bracelet from it. “This is a gift for you.”
Su Binglan looked at the beautiful and shiny jade bracelet and thought it was the best bracelet she had ever seen. “A gift for me?
Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat as she was thrilled to have a gift. She did not expect her husband to be so attentive even though he did not talk much.
“Yes, it’s for you. Would you like to try it on?
Su Binglan did not move. Although the gift was for her, she felt too embarrassed to take it and wear it.
Since she did not move, Luo Jin’an reached out, gently pulled Su Binglan t s hand, and put the jade bracelet around her wrist.
Su Binglan felt comfortable wearing the bracelet as it was cool to the touch.
Luo Jin’an looked into her eyes and asked softly, “Do you like it?”
Su Binglan nodded, saying, “Yes, I do.”
She had seen many treasures across various worlds, yet she did not feel as emotional as she did now. Perhaps it was because Luo Jin’an was the one who gifted her the bracelet that it carried a more significant meaning to her.
“It’s good that you like it.”
Su Binglan touched the jade bracelet and seemed to think of something. She said, “This is too valuable. I-I…” @@novelbin@@
Luo Jin’an held her hand and interjected before she could finish, “My mother left it behind..”
