After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Wenzhe, Yinyin, our family business will expand in the future, so you two should work toward management. I might open many more factories and feel uncomfortable hiring others to manage them. I need your help.”

Liu Yinyin became excited and hurriedly said, “Binglan, you don’t have to be so polite with us. We’re a family. If you need anything, just tell us.”

Her eyes were full of anticipation. She knew how capable Su Binglan was and genuinely wanted to work for her. She also knew she could learn much from Su Binglan and do more meaningful things.

Su Wenzhe was thrilled as well. He did not expect his sister to include him in her plans. He did not even care about eating as he excitedly rubbed his hands and said, “Yeah, you don’t have to be so polite to me. If you need me to do anything, just ask, and I’ll do my best.”

The Su family cared most about Su Binglan and would listen to whatever she said. The primary reason was that Su Binglan always sounded convincing, and everything she did was meaningful.

Everyone knew her capabilities. If it were not for her, the Su family would not be as well-off as they were. The family might not even have enough to eat or wear. Judging from the current situation, the family escaped poverty and became wealthy.

Su Binglan even led the villagers to wealth. That was something neither the family nor villagers dared to think about in the past. Whenever the Su family members walked around the villages, everyone would be polite and enthusiastic toward them. @@novelbin@@

The family was flattered. Even though the family had grown accustomed to it, they still felt a little embarrassed. Of course, they knew they were basking in glory because of Su Binglan.

If it were not for her, the villagers would not have been so respectful toward

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin. Therefore, the young couple wanted to follow Su Binglan and do meaningful things instead of just running their shop.

Su Binglan smiled when she saw how excited her brother and sister-in-law were. “Okay, I’ll let you know when I open another factory.”

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin smiled when they heard that. Even their meals seemed more delicious than usual. Since Su Wenzhe was in a good mood and full of expectations for life, he ate a lot more for breakfast.

Ads by Pubfuture Afterward, he and his wife brought their children to town while Su Wenxiu busied himself at home, arranging medical herbs. After all, it would be Su Binglan’s half-day consultation time in a few days.

Su Wenxiu would probably be busy and require a lot of medicinal herbs. Fortunately, he had planted much more this time around. Still) he thought it was bizarre that the herbs his sister had prepared for him had overgrown. Plus, they survived the cold weather.

However, Su Wenxiu did not know that his sister had put those herbs in her pocket dimension to transform them after digging them up from the back of the mountain.

After the transformation, the medicinal herbs would grow even faster, could survive more easily, and have improved medicinal effects.

Meanwhile, Su Wenwu returned to the hotpot restaurant. He needed to find a few more workers to get more ingredients. After all, if Su Binglan were to open another restaurant at the town’s east end, Su Wenwu would not have enough ingredients.

The weather had gotten colder recently, and the hot pot restaurant’s business was improving. Hence, Su Wenwu was also very busy.

Luo Jin’an did not go to the academy after dinner. Instead, he stayed home and helped his wife. Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao took the account books, contracts, and record books.

The family recorded the daily output of tofu, daily bill accounts, and delivered goods in the books.

Su Binglan took a charcoal pencil and calculated. “We must calculate these things without mistakes. This month’s bills and profits will make it easier for us to give everyone a bonus based on our profits.

“I’ve said it before. Five coins a day for one person, that’s 150 coins a month. That’s only their base salary, but there’s also a bonus. The bonus will depend on the benefits. If we make more tofu products, sell well, and earn more, everyone’s bonus will naturally be higher.”

Su Binglan was quick to calculate and process these things. The numbers and accounts appeared in her mind as she looked at the record.

Shen Qiuhua was stunned when she saw the total profit. “That’s so much. We’ve earned more than two thousand silver taels.”

‘That’s only a month’s income from selling tofu.’ Shen Qiuhua had calmed down a lot, but when she saw the number, she was still in disbelief.

“Mother, you’re in charge of the silver. You know that, right?” Su Binglan laughed.

Ads by Pubfuture “I didn’t notice it myself. I felt everyone paid a lot for the deposit and product settlement for every order. I was pretty happy. I took down notes and put the silver notes in the box, but I didn’t calculate the total.”

Su Fengmao was so delighted that he could not close his mouth. “Our income is indeed very high. However, we need more soybeans. We don’t have enough for everyone to place their orders. Some people want to order our products, but I can only refuse. Otherwise, we won’t be able to meet their needs.”

“Indeed, but we’ll be fine once the beans ripen,” Su Binglan said, “We’ll have more orders in the future, but these don’t count as the cost. We must pay for the furniture we bought and the people we hired to build the factory. We must deduct these costs to consider this pure profit.”

Still, the family earned a lot because they initially got their soybeans from the back of the mountain. However, the soybeans in the fifty acres of land grew well, and the family could soon put them to use.

Su Binglan counted these things once while Luo Jin’an double-checked them. He calculated very efficiently. The young couple did their calculations and checked the numbers twice.

After confirming there were no mistakes, Su Binglan went to the factory to pay the workers.

It was still morning, so those who went to work at the tofu factory came in for their morning shift. Everyone worked seriously and was always active because they knew it was an excellent opportunity to work there.

They also knew that many people envied them and feared they would get fired if they did not do a good job. Therefore, everyone worked diligently.

When the workers saw Su Binglan entering the factory, they thought she was there to check on things, so they lowered their heads and continued working.

“Everyone, stop what you’re doing,” Shen Qiuhua said, clapping her hands.

“We’ll pay you your wages today.”

Everyone in the tofu factory got excited when they heard that. Their eyes lit up one by one as if they were burning. The workers could not help but stop working and looked at Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua.

The workers’ hearts beat fast) but they held their breaths and remained silent. They were afraid that they had misheard Shen Qiuhua.

‘It’s only been a month, and we’re already getting paid?’

‘Didn’t they say they would delay our first monthly payment until the end of next month?’

Some used to work in town and knew how monthly payments worked. The employers would typically hold off on paying a worker’s first month’s salary, so why would Su Binglan pay them so soon?

Everyone was excited, but they also could not believe it..

Everyone stood still and looked at Shen Qiuhua and Su Binglan. Some were so excited and nervous that they did not know where to place their hands. Others’ palms were sweating, and they wiped them on their clothes.

The workers would get 150 coins a month. If they brought that money home, it would improve their lives. The workers calculated the money inwardly and knew they could buy many things with 150 coins.

Some even thought of saving a portion and using the rest to buy meat so their family could eat better food. Nonetheless, the workers would get paid the following month again and could save up quite a bit by the end of the year.

Some workers thought of their many family members and that they had not had a good meal in a long time. They typically had coarse grain and wild vegetable soup, which were not very nutritious.

After receiving their salaries, the workers could take their money to the town and buy some meat for making dumplings at home. Also, they heard about the various delicious foods in town.

Su Binglan’s food was delicious, but many could not afford hotpot. Still, they could buy one or two skewers, sesame buns, a bowl of haggis soup, or duck blood vermicelli. The workers could try those foods with their families.

With their salary, the workers’ families could occasionally have some noodles with a few eggs this month. In the past, the villagers would not bear to cook their eggs whenever their chickens laid them. Instead, they would save the eggs and sell them for money.

In previous years, they would be idle at home after the autumn harvest with nothing to do. They would cook and feed the chickens daily but would not be willing to cook delicious food.

However, things had changed. Now, these families had jobs with monthly salaries. It felt good to the villagers. Some felt their whole family would be thrilled when they brought the 150 coins home. Just counting the money together was enough to make the villagers feel good.

Everyone felt a warmth in their hearts when they thought of these things. They already had plans about what they would do with their earnings.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua sat at a table, and Su Binglan placed a big box on it. Everyone in the tofu factory felt like their hearts were in their throats. They were nervous. @@novelbin@@

After a momentary silence, everyone began to whisper, “Are we really getting paid today?”

However, they asked themselves this question as they suspected that they had misheard.

“I heard from Miss Shen that she would pay our wages. Even Miss Su came here with a box. There should be copper coins in it.”

“I suspected I had misheard them too. So, what I heard was true then.”

“It’s hard to believe. I didn’t expect to get paid at the end of the month. I thought it would be at least half a month later.”

“The Su family are good people. Miss Su won’t shortchange us. She asked us to work at the factory to help us. Otherwise, why would she hire people from our own village?

“Yes, Miss Su only recruits women, too.”

“With these 150 coins, I’ll be willing to eat meat dumplings when I get home.”

“That’s right. I’m also willing to go home and make white steamed buns. We used to eat coarse grain at home.”

“I feel the same. I can’t even bear to add an egg whenever I make wild vegetable soup.”

“Life will be much easier with those 150 coins.”

Ads by Pubfuture “Also, this is just a month’s salary. We’ll get paid monthly, so we can earn a lot this year.”

“Miss Su also mentioned there being a bonus.”

“We should receive more coins if there’s a bonus, right?”

The workers discussed these things in whispers. Their voices were very soft, but they could not suppress their excitement.

Su Binglan took out the salary list and said, “Everyone, line up. I’ll call out names, and those I call will come to collect their pay. Lin Dahua.”

“I’m here!” Lin Dahua was so excited when she heard Su Binglan calling her name first that her voice was loud and clear. She walked toward Su Binglan but felt her legs go soft as she approached Su Binglan.

Lin Dahua felt like she was floating. She stood before the table and looked at Su Binglan unblinkingly.

Su Binglan told her, “The basic salary is 150 coins, and the bonus is more than 900, so I’ll give you one silver tael. That’s one silver tael and 150 copper coins. Here you go.”

She passed the money to Lin Dahua as she spoke, and Lin Dahua was astounded. She stood there in a daze, utterly unable to react.

‘0-0ne silver tael? One silver tael and 150 coins? Did I mishear Miss Su?’

Lin Dahua had never earned one silver tael before. When the harvest was good in the past, she would receive one silver tael, but that was a year’s worth of harvests. However, her monthly bonus was one silver tael now.

She thought that her bonus would only be a few extra coins at most, which would have made her happy, but she did not expect to receive one silver tael.

Ads by Pubfuture

She was so excited that her heart almost pounded out of her chest.

‘Why do my legs still feel weak?’

Shen Qiuhua looked at Lin Dahua’s expression and smiled. “Take it quickly. We still have to pay the workers behind you.”

Lin Dahua finally returned to her senses and gulped her saliva. She asked softly, “Is the bonus one silver tael, Miss Shen?”

She was afraid they had made a mistake.

Shen Qiuhua understood how Lin Dahua felt very well and said earnestly, “Dahua, the tofu factory has done well this month. We’ve calculated a bonus of more than 900 coins, but Binglan said shell give you one silver tael. It’s true, so you can take it.”

Lin Dahua became misty-eyed. “Y -Yes, Miss Shen.”

At that moment, Su Binglan handed over the silver tael and 150 coins to Lin Dahua. She said, “It’s only the first month. Your bonus will be even higher when we produce more products in the future?’

Lin Dahua’s heart felt like it was boiling in lava when she heard that. She felt like she had endless energy to work even more. She reached out and held the silver tael.

Su Binglan said, “Sign here to show you’ve received this month’s salary. If you don’t know how to write, you can draw and make it your own mark.”

Few people in the village could read and write, especially the women, many of whom could not even read a single word. That was why Su Binglan wanted them to draw any symbol. She thought she could teach everyone how to write their names later.

Lin Dahua was illiterate, but fortunately, she could write her name, which was crooked.

Then Lin Dahua returned to where she had been standing after getting her pay because it was not time to get off work yet. She could only go home after completing her shift. Her heart was floating at that moment.

The workers heard the conversation between Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua. Their eyes were wide open, and they forgot to speak. It was too shocking.

‘The bonus is that much?!’

No one even dared to think of earning one silver tael in a month. In the past, the villagers would smile while they worked whenever they thought about earning 150 coins a month.

When they saw Lin Dahua receiving 150 coins and one silver tael, they were dumbfounded and did not know how to react..

Lin Dahua had earned one silver tael just for a month’s work. The villagers did not even dare think about earning that much in the past.

Thump, thump, thump!

Many felt their hearts beating like drums. They felt like it was about to burst out of their chests.

Su Binglan continued calling out names, “Li Mei.”

Li Mei heard her name and quickly went to Su Binglan’s table.

Then Su Binglan counted 150 coins before her. “Your basic salary is 150 coins, and your bonus is one silver tael. Take them and write your name here to show you’ve received this month’s salary.”

Li Mei became teary-eyed when she received her pay. “Thank you so much!”

She choked up because one silver tael and 150 coins could last her family an entire year. However, she had earned that much in a single month’s salary. She no longer had to worry about not having enough food to grow, freezing, or starving to death during winter.

When she got home, she could use that money to buy cotton and cloth to make a thick blanket. With a thick blanket, it would not be too cold during the winter.

Ads by Pubfuture She could also buy charcoal from Su Fengzhi since she had heard that he sold his charcoal at a lower price. She would just buy a little charcoal and burn them during the winter so that it would not be too cold.

Li Mei’s parents passed away when she was a child, so she had to raise her two younger sisters and younger brother.

She always feared being unable to raise her younger siblings and would sometimes cry under her blanket in the middle of the night. However, she could do better with the money she had earned.

She felt like her life was full of hope, and she could take better care of her younger siblings. According to most people, she was young and weak, so the Su family second-guessed hiring her.

Ultimately, the Su family finally hired her, and that was when she knew that the Su family had done that to care for her. Li Mei would remember their kindness and would always work diligently.

Shen Qiuhua patted Li Mei’s arm and said, “Good girl, you’ll have a good life in the future. Our tofu factory’s business will improve, and you’ll have more bonuses. Go home and eat something good.”

She looked at Li Mei, her heart aching. The little girl was sallow and emaciated, and it was evident that she did not have enough to eat. Shen Qiuhua would be heartbroken if her daughter were like that.

“Y -Yes, Miss Shen. I’ll make you proud. I’ll go home and be able to eat more now.” Li Mei was a little concerned. She was afraid she was too thin and that Shen Qiuhua would think she was weak and not hire her. Now, she knew she had to eat more to make herself stronger.

Su Binglan called the workers’ names one after another. She paid almost everyone one silver tael and 150 coins. However, two workers had to take a day or two off because of family matters, so she had to deduct five to ten copper coins from their pay.

One of the workers held 145 coins and one silver tael, while the other held 140 coins and one silver tael. The two felt uneasy. They knew if they often took leaves, they would not be able to work at the factory for long.

Still, they had no choice because they had emergencies at home and had to take leave.

Ads by Pubfuture One person had an urgent message from her family, so she had to be away from work for three days. She had asked someone to take over for a while and made up for it when she returned. Su Binglan considered it as a day or two off.

Zhou He whispered, “I’m sorry for taking a day off, Miss Shen and Miss Su. I-I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t want to take a day off, but…”

She was afraid of leaving a wrong impression on Shen Qiuhua and Su Binglan for taking leave and that they would fire her.

Only the tofu factory would pay its workers 150 coins a month, was located in the village, and would not interfere with the workers’ family affairs. One could even take a break and ask for leave. Other places would never allow that.

Su Binglan said gently, “Zhou He, our factory makes things convenient for everyone. You have your reasons for taking leave. You didn’t slack off or skip work, so it’s okay. Don’t worry.

“I’ll only deduct your salary this time, not your bonus. Next time, we must deduct your bonus accordingly to time based on the rules.”

She knew Zhou He had no choice but to return home because her grandmother had passed away.

It took Zhou He at least a few days to return to her mother’s house. She had only taken a day’s leave and made up for it. She had been very attentive. @@novelbin@@

Everyone did not know what they would do without the tofu factory when they heard Su Binglan’s words. To earn that much money a month was a blessing. Moreover, the workers only worked half a day, which would not affect their housework.

Everyone was excited and wanted to do a good job. With so much money every month, the villagers could afford to have plain noodles for every meal.

At that time, plain noodles were good for the villagers because no one would bear to eat steamed bun on regular days. They were only willing to make steamed buns during Chinese New Year or other festivities.

Ads by Pubfuture

The villagers typically ate coarse-grain flatbread, and it sometimes hurt their throats. They thought it was good enough to eat their fill and could not care whether or not the food was good.

Zhou He felt relieved when she heard Su Binglan’s words. She continued, “Yes, thank you, Miss Shen. Thank you, Miss Su.”

She felt ashamed as she held her money. After all, there was always a possibility that Su Binglan would have deducted more from Zhou He’s salary.

Zhou He decided to do more the following month.

Immediately after, Su Binglan called for Liu Qiaoshi.

Lio Qiaoshi walked forward with her head lowered as Su Binglan said, “You’ve done well this month, Qiaoshi. Besides finishing your work, you also helped me note down how many beans you used and how many tofu products you made. You helped me jot down everything. That’s why I’m giving you a bigger bonus.”

When Liu Qiaoshi’s grandfather was still alive, her family was relatively well-off. Her brother had been in a private school for a few years, and she had also learned to read and write, so she could record things.

When Shen Qiuhua was busy, Liu Qiaoshi would take the initiative to help during her break. Liu Qiaoshi also never let anything delay her work.

When she helped out, she never thought much about it. She only wanted to do her job well since the Su family had allowed her to work at their tofu factory. Moreover, she could remember things well, so she helped Shen Qiuhua make notes.

Still, Liu Qiaoshi felt she could do more. She never expected her bonus to be so high because of it.

Liu Qiaoshi was always quiet and rarely had exaggerated expressions on her face. However, when she saw Su Binglan giving her one silver tael and two hundred coins, her mouth opened so wide that she could swallow an egg whole.

“I-Is that for me?

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Yes, your performance this month was outstanding. Also, your literacy will be of great help. So, you’ll be a manager next month, and I’ll give you a raise.”

Many people worked at the tofu factory, and the factory sold many products.

Therefore, the business would only continue expanding. Although Shen Qiuhua had Qiu He as an assistant, she still had to manage many people and products. After all, Shen Qiuhua could not handle everything.

Su Binglan wanted someone to be a manager, but she needed to observe who performed best and was most suitable for that role. Then she would promote that person.

She realized how capable Liu Qiaoshi and Yao Cuihua were, but Yao Cuihua could not read or write, so she appointed Liu Qiaoshi as the manager..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already shocking to Liu Qiaoshi when she got paid more than others. She could not react and was even more confused when Su Binglan said she would be a manager and give her a raise next month.

She was in a daze, and her eyes and mouth were wide open. She could not believe it but felt that what she had heard was trueo

Shen Qiuhua found Liu Qiaoshi’s reaction rather amusing because Liu Qiaoshi was not typically like that. Liu Qiaoshi would usually be more steady-going, and Shen Qiuhua felt at ease, leaving many things to Liu Qiaoshi.

“Qiaoshi, take your pay,” Shen Qiuhua said softly.

Liu Qiaoshi suddenly returned to her senses when she heard Shen Qiuhua’s words. She quickly took the money and said incoherently, “Thank you, thank you.”

She held the money and felt a warm sensation in her heart. She looked at her earnings with shining eyes but did not expect Su Binglan to offer her the manager position.

No matter how steady-going Liu Qiaoshi usually was, she could not help but smile. Her mouth opened as she smiled, slightly revealing her neat teeth. She was overjoyed and could not wait to go home and share the good news with her family. She knew her parents and brother would be proud.

Su Binglan looked at Liu Qiaoshi encouragingly. “Good luck, and do your best.”

“Yes, yes.” Liu Qiaoshi nodded vigorously. She took the money and gulped her saliva, unable to hide her smile.

After giving out the workers’ salaries and bonuses, Su Binglan said, “Continue working hard, everyone. Our tofu factory’s business will only keep improving. @@novelbin@@

You’ll get more bonuses by then.

Ads by Pubfuture “Yes. Thank you, Miss Su. Thank you, Miss Shen.” “Thank you all for your hard work,” Su Binglan replied.

Everyone thanked Su Binglan excitedly.

“Liu Qiaoshi will be our tofu factorys manager from now on. Manager Liu will help my mother manage the factory. Do your best, everyone. We will promote those capable and willing to help others in the future,” Su Binglan said a few more words of encouragement and left the factory.

Then Shen Qiuhua called Liu Qiaoshi over and gave her some instructions. Shen Qiuhua would no longer have to do so many things alone because she could arrange for Liu Qiaoshi to do them. After all, she trusted Liu Qiaoshi’s attentiveness and competence.

Energy filled Liu Qiaoshi’s body, and her eyes shined brightly. She would listen attentively whenever Shen Qiuhua gave her instructions.

At that moment, everyone in the tofu shop relaxed. They could not suppress their excitement and started talking amongst each other.

“We just received a one silver tael bonus. Even though I’m holding it, I still can’t believe it.”

“I can’t believe it either. I don’t even know where to put it now. I just want to get it back home for lunch.”

“Miss Su is too kind.”

“If this gets out, people will be envious of us.”

“Getting a job at the Su family’s tofu factory is difficult. If we weren’t in Su Teng village, we wouldn’t have been able to work here.”

“I agree. In the past, people from our village fought to get information about the factory and work here when they heard about the 150 coin salary. If they knew how much we received as a bonus, they would freak out.”

“Miss Su takes care of the people in our village. Even if the tofu factory expands in the future, people from other villages will have to queue up to work there.”

“Let’s work even harder in the future.”

Ads by Pubfuture “It’s better to learn to read. Liu Qiaoshi is already a manager.”

“Everyone can see what Liu Qiaoshi does daily. She should be a manager.”

“It would be great if we could read too.”

Most Su Teng villagers could not read, so even if they wanted to help make notes, they could not. Many people realized the benefits of being able to read and write.

Some even thought of letting their children learn to read and write at school since they were illiterate. However, school fees were too expensive, and no one dared to think in that direction in the past.

But after receiving their bonuses, the villagers felt it was enough to pay for

their children’s education.

“We can send our children to private schools when we earn more money. Some private schools are cheaper with one silver tael a month as the tuition fee.”

“I just don’t know how much my bonus will be next month. I must save it and allow my family to eat their fill before thinking about anything else.”

“I’m so happy after getting my pay today. I’m going to have a good meal tonight.”

“We can go home and have some good food this afternoon. Our families will be thrilled when we go home and tell them about it.”

“I plan to come back to work after lunch. I’ll prepare dinner during my afternoon break.”

“By the way, I’ll take a day off in a few days. Is anyone going to town to buy things? I plan to go to town to buy a pound of meat and some desserts for my child. ”

“I’m going to town to buy some cloth and make new clothes for my family. I don’t have to make clothes for myself. Our tofu shop has custom-made uniforms for me, which look good on normal days.”

Su Binglan had ordered two sets of uniforms for each worker in the tofu factory. Of course, these two sets of uniforms were new to everyone. The villagers did not have much to wear on average days, so they wore their work clothes.

Moreover, the people from other villages would know the Su Teng villagers were working in the tofu factory when they saw them wearing their uniforms. The people from other villagers would be envious of them.

Being looked at with envious eyes was not a bad feeling.

“I want to buy salt, but it’s too expensive. My family has used up all of it and couldn’t bear to buy more, but I can buy more soon.”

“My father likes to drink, but wine is too expensive. I usually can’t bear to buy it. Since I’ve received a bonus, I can give my father two bottles of wine.”

“I want to save up so I can buy more things at the end of the year and have a good New Year.”

“If we can get this much money monthly, we’ll have a good New Year. We can wear new clothes this year and buy many New Year goods.”

Everyone was excitedly discussing this as they worked with smiles on their faces. The atmosphere at the tofu factory was lively at that moment. The workers looked forward to their lunch break so they could go home and share the good news with their families.

However, they felt a little uneasy carrying so much money with them that they dared not move.

It was almost time for a lunch break when Liu Qiaoshi, Shen Qiuhua, and Qiu He went in with a tofu cart. One said, “This is also a benefit of working at our factory. Everyone will receive a pound of tofu to bring home for your families to try.” “Whoa!”

“That’s great!”

“I want to pinch them to see if they’re real.”

The tofu shop was in an uproar as everyone was ecstatic. Receiving money and items felt different. Receiving items was a surprise for everyone The workers stepped forward to receive their share of tofu.

Tofu typically costs six coins per 500 grams. Although it cost one coin less to the people of Su Teng Village, no one was willing to buy it because it ultimately cost money.

Initially, many people wanted to buy a pound of tofu with their earnings to cook and try, but they did not expect the Su family to gift them the tofu. It was a pleasant surprise for everyone.

‘Everyone can go home after claiming their pound of tofu,” Shen Qiuhua said,

“You can go home and rest earlier today.”

These were the people on the morning shift. The people on the night shift would come to work in the afternoon and change shifts. Su Binglan would then give the night shift their wages and tofu in the afternoon..

Everyone was thrilled when they heard what Shen Qiuhua said. They all went home with their earnings, bonuses, and tofu. @@novelbin@@

Su Teng Village was particularly lively at noon. The workers talked and laughed when they exited the tofu factory. Their voices were thunderous because they were in a good mood.

The workers’ waves of laughter spread far and wide while some left the factory and ran straight home without saying a thing.

Of course, some were afraid of not being able to hold their tofu steadily and walked carefully. The other villagers saw them and were puzzled. “What’s going on today?”

“It’s quite strange. Everyone seems to be quite happy today.”

“They’re more than happy. They’re all smiling like that. They must be delighted. I wonder what the good news is.”

“It’s already good that they can work at the factory. It’s normal for them to talk and laugh during breaks.”

“Huh? Did you notice that each of them is holding tofu?”

“Yeah, that’s tofu.”

“My daughter is working the night shift today. I don’t know what’s going on.” “My daughter-in-law is also on the night shift today.”

“My children are still young. Otherwise, they can work at the factory. I’m so worried now.”

“Your family’s elder daughter will be old enough to work at the factory in two years.”

Ads by Pubfuture “That’s right. Our village is so good now, and I want to find a man who lives here for my daughter so she won’t have to leave.”

“You can marry into our family. Su Teng Village is so good. Many people want to come here.”

The villagers would always gossip whenever they gathered.

“Li Mei, why did everyone bring tofu home today?” An old lady took the initiative to greet and ask her.

Li Mei’s parents passed away when she was a child, so she had to raise her younger siblings. She usually lowered her head and did not speak, unlike today. She talked and laughed more than usual.

Therefore, an older villager asked her that out of curiosity.

Li Mei happily explained, “The factory paid our wages and bonuses today.

Everyone also received a pound of tofu, so we’re thrilled.”

A few more people exited the factory and added, “Li Mei is telling the truth. Miss Su is such a good person. We’re going home to make tofu and stir-fried cabbage. I heard it’s delicious.”

“Yeah, I’m going home to cook, Old Madam Lin.”

The villagers were stunned when they heard these things. They wondered if working at the tofu factory was that good.

“That’s not right. Didn’t the workers just start working there a month ago?

They’re already getting paid?”

“They also just said they received a bonus.”

Ads by Pubfuture Some workers got even more excited when they heard that and rushed home. “I’m going home to tell my daughter-in-law that we’ll probably have tofu for dinner.”

“Oh, my daughter is here. I’m going to have a good meal at home today.”

Earning 150 coins a month made some people happy, while others were envious. The happy ones were family members of the ones who worked at the factory, and those who were envious were those who did not get hired.

Dong Xiaolei happened to come to the well at the village entrance to get water. While carrying a shoulder pole and walking home, she heard these words and felt envious.

However, she was too young to work at the factory. Her mother was weak and could not expose herself to the wind, nor could she work at the factory.

Fortunately, Dong Xiaolei had taken her mother to Su Binglan’s clinic for a consultation. Su Binglan had prescribed three doses of medicine and said that Dong Xiaolei’s mother would be okay after about a month’s rest.

Dong Xiaolei believed Su Binglan’s words because Dong Xiaolei’s mother felt full of strength today. The medicine took effect quickly.

Dong Xiaolei’s mother said she could work when she recovered. She could go for an interview if the factory were hiring more people. Then her family’s life would improve.

After all, 150 coins a month was a significant amount, and the family could earn up to two silver taels a year. Dong Xiaolei’s eyes lit up when she thought of the two silver taels.

She carried the bucket and walked with light steps.

Liu Qiaoshi’s father was chopping firewood while her mother started a fire to cook when Liu Qiaoshi got home. Meanwhile, her sister-in-law carried her child and the ducks and chickens.

Liu Qiaoshi’s elder brother had attended a private school in his earlier years, so he knew how to read and was good at work. He could also endure hardships and now worked with Su Zhengde’s construction team.

Coincidentally, someone was building a house in town these past few days, and Su Zhengde led his construction team, so Liu Qiaoshi’s brother was not home.

When Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law saw her coming home, she said happily, “Qiaoshi, you’re home.” Then she turned to her daughter and said, “Quick, welcome your Aunt Qiaoshi home.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Liu Qiaoshi’s niece was only one year old and had just learned to speak. The little girl mumbled and called out in a clear and melodious voice, “Aunt Qiaoshi.”

Of course, the little girl’s pronunciation was inaccurate, and the child felt awkward calling her aunt. However, Liu Qiaoshi was pleased to hear that and could not help but go over and hold the little girl’s hand.

Usually, Liu Qiaoshi would hug her little niece, but she was holding tofu today and was excited. She was also eager to share the good news with her family, so as she walked in, she said, “Father, mother, sister-in-law, I’ve gotten my pay.

Let’s talk inside.”

“You got paid already?”

Liu Qiaoshi’s father was holding his ax and no longer cared about chopping firewood. He put the ax down and followed his daughter into the house.

Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law also rushed into the house happily. Meanwhile, Liu Qiaoshi’s mother quickly put a big piece of firewood into the furnace to let it burn. The family quickly entered the house and looked at Liu Qiaoshi expectantly.

Her mother did not expect her to get paid so quickly. “Did they pay you 150 coins as they promised? You even bought tofu?”

Liu Qiaoshi revealed her earnings smilingly. “I got one silver tael and two hundred coins. Let’s count them together. Also, I got the tofu from the factory.

They gave everyone a pound as gifts.”

“What?” Liu Qiaoshi’s parents were stunned.

Liu Qiaoshi i s mother wiped her hands and took the money with trembling hands. “Is it really one silver tael and two hundred wens?

She even suspected she had misheard and that her eyes were playing tricks. She could not even react properly. “D-Didn’t you say you would only get 150 coins a month?”

She wondered why there were extra 50 coins. The two parents did not expect their daughter to receive a silver tael as a bonus. At that moment, the couple wondered what the deal was with the one silver tael.

Liu Qiao’s sister-in-law’s eyes widened in shock. Previously, she had gone to the factory with Liu Qiaoshi, but only Liu Qiaoshi got hired.

Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law was also quite envious, but she thought this was good too. It would be more convenient for her to care for her child at home. Still, 150 coins a month was quite desirable.

Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law felt fortunate to be a part of the family, but she did not expect Liu Qiaoshi to earn as much as an entire silver tael.

Liu Qiaoshi looked at her sister-in-law’s and parents’ expressions. Then she thought of how she had received her bonus and salary. “Indeed, our basic salary is 150 coins a month, but we also have a bonus. This month’s bonus is one silver.

“Also, I did more work and helped Miss Shen take notes since I can read and write. Miss Su rewarded me by giving me an extra 50 coins. She even promoted me to their manager. I’ll get paid more in the future..”

Liu Qiaoshi said so much at once that her family was stunned. Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they looked at her in disbelief. They were so shocked that their eyeballs were about to fall out.

Mother Liu opened her mouth to say something, but she was too amazed and excited to say anything.

She did not know what to say besides, “Wait, let me digest what you said first. You’ve said too much.”

Father Liu rubbed his hands together. “This is great, but it feels a little like a dream.”

Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law was so stunned that she could not speak.

‘She earned so much in a month?’ Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law opened her mouth wide. After a while, she said, “You have so much tofu too. That’s great.

It doesn’t feel real.”

The little girl was only one year old. She leaned on her mother’s back and looked on curiously without crying or making a fuss.

“Let’s count the money together, then you’ll know it’s real,” Liu Qiaoshi said.

“This silver tael must be real,” Mother Liu said as she took the money. She gritted her teeth and could not stop smiling. She started counting the two hundred coins again. “One, two, three…”

Ads by Pubfuture Father Liu and his daughter-in-law also counted alongside Mother Liu. After counting for a while, they found that it was indeed 200 coins.

“One silver tael and 200 coins are almost as much as our annual food income over previous years. Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, this is only Qiaoshi’s monthly income. If she were to continue, her annual income would be even more impressive,” Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law said excitedly.

Although her sister-in-law had earned that money, Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law was happy just by looking at it. Sure enough) her parents were right to agree to this marriage. She could now enjoy an excellent treatment in Su Teng Village.

When she gave birth to her daughter, she was afraid her in-laws would be unhappy, but they did not say anything and treated her well. Still, she became confident because only girls could work at the tofu factory and earn so much money. Her daughter would also be able to support the family in the future.

With those thoughts in mind, Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law’s smile became even more prominent.

Mother Liu digested the news and said happily, “That’s right, you’re even a manager now, Qiaoshi. You’ve made your father and me proud. Now I can feel proud when I go out.”

Father Liu said, “See, we made the right choice letting Qiaoshi learn to read and write from her brother.”

Mother Liu sighed. “That’s right. We didn’t think so much in the past. We know that a woman’s virtue is to have no talent. Still, Qiaoshi likes to read, so we let her. I didn’t expect it to be of great use now.”

As Mother Liu spoke, her eyes lit up when she saw her granddaughter. “I’ll let my granddaughter learn to read and write too. It’ll be good.”

When Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law heard this, she became excited. “Thank you, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

She had wanted to study when she was young, but her parents were more pedantic and felt it was useless for their daughter to study. Furthermore, her family lived in less favorable conditions. Even her brothers could not study, let alone her.

She envied those who could study. Fortunately, she was good-looking and good at needlework, so Liu Qiaoshi’s brother took a fancy to her. She was only interested in the Liu family because they were scholars.

Ads by Pubfuture She did not expect her daughter to get the opportunity to learn to read and write. That entirely made up for her regrets. Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law was so excited that she kept thanking the family.

“We’re family,” Mother Liu said, “Theres no need to thank us. Still, Qiaoshi has earned the money we’ll use.”

Liu Qiaoshi said, “Sister-in-law, were a family. In the past, my brother would come home to teach me to read and write. My brother also worked in the fields when I was a child. He would let me eat whatever good food there was. You were good to me, too, Sister-in-law. I remember all of that, so don’t say those things.”

Liu Qiaoshi’s sister-in-law, Miss Wang, nodded, but she felt touched. “Oh, I’m so happy,” Mother Liu chuckled, “Let’s have tofu for lunch today.”

“Mother, cook some more vegetables and put in more meat. We’ll make dumplings for dinner.”

The family talked and laughed happily.

It was the same for other families. Everyone brought their wages and tofu home, and everyone’s family was happy.

Li Mei did not have parents. When she returned home, her younger brothers and sisters were still doing housework. They were young, so they did their chores slowly but earnestly.

They were busy getting firewood and preparing to make lunch, waiting for Li Mei to get home for her lunch break so that she could have a hot meal. Although they did not know how to cook, and the food they made could have been better, Li Mei already felt touched.

She went home earlier than usual that afternoon and felt sorry to see her younger siblings preparing lunch.

“Big Sister, you’re back.”

“Big Sister, I… We haven’t finished cooking.”

“Big Sister, let’s start cooking.”

Li Mei’s younger siblings were quite sensitive. They did not have parents, so they depended on their eldest sister. They were also afraid that their big sister would not care about them. Therefore, the three of them fought to do housework.

“Second Sister, Third Sister, Little Brother, let’s have tofu for lunch today,” Li Mei said smilingly.

The trio became happy when they saw the tofu Li Mei was holding. However, when they saw how skinny their big sister was, they quickly said, “We’re not that hungry, Big Sister. You have to eat more.”

“Yes, Big Sister. Are you tired? I’ll get you some water.”

Li Mei felt terrible looking at her younger siblings like that. She closed the door and pulled her younger siblings into the house. “I got my salary and bonus today. It’s one silver tael and 150 coins.”

Although Li Mei’s siblings were only eight, ten, and twelve years old, they knew the concept of money.

“Did you truly earn that much, Big Sister?” The three younger siblings were stunned.

“Yes, it’s a lot, and my monthly salary will increase soon. Our lives will only keep improving. The tofu I brought back is from the factory, so we can eat well in the future. You three must eat more, understand?”

Li Mei’s younger siblings were thrilled.

“Also, I’ve thought about it, and our villages welfare in our village is good. If I find a husband who agrees to help me care for you three, you won’t have to worry anymore.” Li Mei had never said such things before because she was not confident.

She did not know if she could care for her younger siblings alone, but things were different now. She could earn this much a month and even get an increased bonus. so she was confident she could care for her younger siblings.

She became more daring to say such things.

“We’re sorry, Big Sister.”

“We’ll take care of you when we grow up.”

“We’ll work hard, too, Big Sister!”

Li Mei’s younger siblings started crying, and Li Mei’s eyes were also red. She smiled and wiped the tears from her siblings’ eyes. “Don’t cry. You should be happy. Help me start the fire, Second Sister. We’ll have tofu with rice for lunch today..”

“Okay, Big Sister, I’ll go start the fire.” Li Mei’s second sister ran to the stove happily.

Her third sister and younger brother hurriedly said, “Big Sister, we’ll help you.”

“All right, let’s cook lunch together. We’ll also have chicken stew tonight,” Li Mei said smilingly.

“Big Sister, didn’t you say we should sell the chicken?” Li Mei’s second sister asked.

Although Li Mei had earned a lot of money, the family could not be so wasteful. After all, they could still sell their chicken for money if it did not lay eggs. Then Old Madam Su and Su Fengchen could make grilled chicken and sell it for a lot.

“We need to eat something good occasionally. If we eat well, we’ll have more strength to work,” Li Mei said.

She and her younger siblings were thin, but she could finally nourish them. She dared not think about it in the past, for she feared her younger siblings would starve to death.

Therefore, she kept everything she could to sell for money and was reluctant to cook chicken or eggs. The family only had coarse-grain buns at home.

However, they did not have enough and had to share it for each meal.

Li Mei typically only ate two meals a day. Sometimes, she would get so hungry that she could not sleep at night. She could only get up and drink water constantly.

Now, she was finally willing to eat good food.

Ads by Pubfuture Li Mei’s words made her younger siblings happy. They wanted her to eat more meat while they drank the stew. They felt it was good enough just to drink the chicken stew.

Li Mei went to the stove and cut the tofu, preparing to make tofu stew with wild vegetables.

“Big Sister, so this is tofu. It smells so good.”

“It feels so soft too.”

“It must be delicious.”

The three children looked at the tofu and smelled it, almost drooling. They had heard of tofu but had never eaten or seen it. In the past, they did not even dare to think they would be able to eat tofu. Hence, they never expected to try tofu this afternoon.

Li Mei looked at her younger siblings’ curious and envious looks. She smiled, cut three small pieces of tofu, and handed them one piece each. “Let’s have a taste first. I’ll cook it with wild vegetables and add salt. It’ll taste better, and the soup will be good.”

Li Mei had heard that from someone who worked in the tofu factory with her. Some workers had tried tofu before and had heard about how to cook it. They had also heard of how delicious tofu was.

Li Mei had noted everything down. This time, she made tofu stew with wild vegetables.

The trio looked at the tofu their big sister handed them, not daring to eat it.

“You should eat, Big Sister.”

“Y-Yeah, we’re not hungry.”

The three youngsters were drooling as they glued their eyes to the tofu, but they insisted on letting Li Mei eat it. Children were the worst at hiding their thoughts. @@novelbin@@

Li Mei knew they wanted to eat the tofu when she saw them like this. “It’s fine.

Ads by Pubfuture Eat it. There’s more here. We can eat a lot of tofu in the future.”

After hearing Li Mei’s words, the trio carefully took the tofu and started eating. They dared not eat in big mouthfuls and ate the tofu in small bites instead.

“Big Sister, it’s so delicious. It’s so soft and fragrant.”

Li Mei had not yet added anything to the tofu, but the three youngsters already thought it was delicious. The trio broke into big smiles and excitedly told their big sister that the tofu was delicious.

Li Mei discretely gulped her saliva but did not eat the tofu. Instead, she planned to try it only after cooking. However, Li Mei’s second sister insisted on giving her remaining tofu to her big sister after taking a small bite.

Li Mei looked at her second sister’s determined expression and opened her mouth to eat. Li Mei chewed lightly and could feel the fragrance coming from her mouth.

She had a look of enjoyment on her face. “Indeed, it’s delicious.”

Li Mei also revealed a bright smile. “Oh right, I’ll take a day off in a few days and bring you guys to town to buy some things.”

Li Mei had not been to town since her parents passed away, let alone to the market.

“Woo!” The trio was excited. They would be happy to even just walk around town.

“Still, we must be wise with our money. We can take some to town to buy cotton and cloth to make blankets. Then it won’t get so cold during the winter.

Also, I’ll buy clothes and soles for you three.”

The children only wore torn straw sandals. Li Mei had worn a good pair of shoes for work at the tofu factory, but her soles were worn out because she had always worn those shoes.

Ads by Pubfuture

She talked about what to buy and her plans for the winter. Her younger siblings listened carefully, and their eyes shined brightly.

The youngsters looked forward to lunch but grew more eager because their big sister would cook chicken for dinner, and they were also excited to visit the town in a few days. They also looked forward to winter and the New Year.

Li Mei’s house became lively after she received her salary and bonus. The atmosphere was much lighter.

Everyone was happy after receiving their wages and bonuses. Some also heard the news and hurriedly told their families who were working the night shift.

When everyone heard the news, they could not bother to finish their lunch. They simply took a few mouthfuls of rice and hurried to ask the morning shift workers for more information.

After hearing the news, the night shift workers wanted to go to the factory to work immediately. However, there was a rule at the factory that they could only start work on time and not earlier.

The night shift workers felt like time was passing too slowly. When it was finally time for their shifts, they rushed to the tofu factory.

Although they were working, they looked toward the door from time to time, waiting for Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua to appear. When the time came, the workers should receive their pay.

As expected, Su Binglan arrived to give the night shift workers their salaries and bonuses. She treated everyone the same, and as usual, Shen Qiuhua gave the workers a pound of tofu and allowed them to leave work early. Everyone went home happy.

In just one day, everyone in Su Teng Village heard the news. Even the surrounding two or three villages heard about these things. Everyone was envious.

“I didn’t expect them to earn so much money working at the tofu factory. Is the news fake?”

“It’s true. Everyone in Su Teng Village knows about it.”

“We can work and have great strength, but the Su family only hires people from their village to work at their factory.”

“Su Teng Village only keeps improving. Everyone is benefiting from the Su family. Even their health consultations are free.”

“I heard that Miss Su’s medical skills are excellent, and she cured many people

in a short time.”

Everyone was discussing this and envied the people of Su Teng Village. They were also constantly inquiring about Su Teng Village. They also thought that they could go there for work if anything good happened in Su Teng Village.

Those who had relatives in Su Teng Village became excited when they heard the news and were ready to visit their relatives. They wanted to build a good relationship with their relatives in Su Teng Village and gather information to benefit from them in the future.

After paying the rest of the workers their wages and bonuses, Su Binglan began preparing for her embroidery shop. She passed the finished blueprints to Su Xueye and paid for the construction fees so that Su Xueye could build the shop without a worry. Then Su Binglan went to talk to Ding Wan about the embroidery shop..

Su Binglan was also worried that her Aunt Ding Wan would be anxious, so she only went to look for her aunt after thinking of how she would set up the embroidery shop.

Ding Wan had been anxious and busy at home since hearing Su Binglan talk about the double-sided embroidery. She hoped that her niece would come over to teach her about it. Then she could elevate her embroidery skills.

After all, that would also help Su Binglan.

Otherwise, Ding Wan would feel bored and not know what to do. However, she was also very mindful of her health. She listened to Su Binglan’s words and would often go for walks. At night, Ding Wan would go to sleep and not light any candles.

Therefore, she and her family would have an early dinner. Afterward, they would sleep early and wake up at dawn.

Ding Wan was at home that morning practicing her embroidery with a needle, thread, and cloth. When Su Binglan arrived, she noticed the door was open. She looked inside and called, “Aunt Ding Wan, are you home?

Ding Wan was on the bed when she suddenly heard her niece’s voice. She became excited and muttered, “Am I mishearing things again? @@novelbin@@

Whenever Ding Wan was home these past few days, she would imagine that Su Binglan had come looking for her but saw no one whenever she looked toward the door.

However, she heard it more clearly this time but was worried she imagined things again. Even if she imagined it, she hurriedly got off the bed and went to the courtyard to reconfirm.

Ads by Pubfuture When she saw Su Binglan, she ran out excitedly. Ding Wan arrived at the door and held her niece’s hand, pulling her into the house. “Come in. You shouldn’t stand at the door. What if you catch a cold? The weather is only getting colder.”

Ding Wan’s body had recovered, and she could even run. In the past, she would feel weak every few steps and would even sweat. She no longer faced those problems now.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “I just arrived, Aunt Ding. I came to discuss the embroidery shop with you.”

Ding Wan’s eyes lit up with fire when she heard that. She said happily, “I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

The two entered the room, and Ding Wan asked Su Binglan to get on the bed while she went to pour some water for her niece. Ding Wan said, “Drink some water first. I put the fire on this morning, so the brick bed is still warm. Let’s sit on it while we talk.”

Su Binglan did not argue and drank a few sips of water before getting onto the brick bed. Then she removed two things from her bag. “Aunt Ding Wan, look at this.”

It was a small doll that Su Binglan had made out of cloth, but there was no stuffing inside. Ding Wan took the doll from her niece, and her eyes bloomed with joy. “Did you make this, Binglan? It’s so beautiful, and I feel happy just looking at it.

“I’ve studied embroidery and have seen many needleworks, but I’ve never seen anything like this. The doll looks perfect, and it’s even smiling.”

Su Binglan made a modern -day cartoon doll that looked adorable.

“I won’t bear to part with this,” Ding Wan said.

“Yes, I made that. Do you think it’s a good idea?” Su Binglan asked.

“Of course, it’s good. No one else knows how to make this kind of thing. I’ve never seen it before. If someone else knew how to make this kind of thing, it would’ve become popular long ago.”

Ads by Pubfuture Ding Wan would know.

Su Binglan explained, “Aunt Ding Wan, look, I’ll stuff cotton inside.”

She also had cotton in her bag but did not have much. If she wanted to make these cartoon dolls, she would need to buy more.

However, her cotton was expensive, so she thought of other cheap things to stuff the doll with to make it fuller. That way, she could save a lot of money. When Su Binglan stuffed the cotton into the doll, she used a needle and thread to sew the opening at the bottom. It was a real-looking doll.

“It’s so lovely and feels good in my hands. If I like it, imagine how much the children would like it too. You always have the best ideas, Binglan.” Ding Wan wondered if her niece was interested in selling dolls in her embroidery shop.

She asked, “Will you sell these dolls in your shop? If the sewing is simple, others can do it if they know a little bit of needlework. Still, it looks pretty tough to make something of this style.

“However, if someone sees this and learns how to embroider, they can imitate it,” Ding Wan said after taking a closer look.

“Then lees mark the dolls with the Su family brand,” Su Binglan said, “We’ll also continuously launch new products. Even if others imitate us, they won’t be able to keep up.

“The wealthy people who care about their reputation will buy the Su family’s products. That means our products are authentic. Besides, our embroidery shop won’t just make dolls. We can also make things like school bags.”

Su Binglan revealed a school bag she had made as she spoke. She had been busy with these things over the past few days.

“Look, you can carry it on your back like this, Aunt Ding Wan. You can also put some copper coins and small items in the bag. It’ll be more convenient for you to go out.”

Ads by Pubfuture

In that era, people would carry baskets if they were to bring things along, which was inconvenient.

“We can make school bags, backpacks, and smaller ones like those are

handbags.”

Ding Wan had seen schoolbags before since Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai carried such things whenever they went to the academy. She found it novel but did not expect to see such an exquisite handbag.

Ding Wan opened the handbag and looked inside. She saw interlayers with buttons where one could place essential items. One could then button it up and not worry about losing the items.

“What about this bag?” She pointed at a big cloth bag that seemed convenient for carrying vegetables.

“This bag will make it more convenient for people to use when they buy vegetables from the market. People can place their meat and vegetables in this bag and bring them home.”

Anyone who knew a little needlework could make such a big bag, but Su Binglan’s version had many patterns, making it pretty and practical.

“It’s gorgeous!” Ding Wan was dazzled by what she saw. She had never seen patterns like those before. Moreover, Su Binglan had embroidered those patterns with a technique Ding Wan was unfamiliar with.

She was intrigued and asked, “How did you embroider this, Binglan?”

“This is simply sewn, Aunt Ding Wan. You can sew it according to any pattern you want. It’s simple, so I’ll teach it to you later.”

Ding Wan’s eyes were full of joy when she heard her niece’s words. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

After all, she liked to learn these things.

“There’s no need to be so polite with me, Aunt Ding. I thought you could manage the embroidery shop after learning it,” Su Binglan replied, “When the time comes, I’ll hire more workers. Then you’ll help me manage them.”

Ding Wan was eager and excited when she looked at the things her niece had brought over. She wished she could immediately make these things herself.

“Over the past few days, I’ve only thought about helping at your embroidery stop.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Xueye is already leading his construction team to build the shop. They’ll complete it very soon, but we should learn new techniques in the meantime. I’ll find a few villagers to make these things. We can put the items on sale when they finish..”

Ding Wan knew her niece wanted the embroidery shop to be different from others when she heard her niece’s words. Moreover, what Su Binglan wanted to make and sell would not require much skill.

Even those who did not know needlework could quickly learn it. Ding Wan knew Su Binglan was doing this to help the villagers become wealthy.

Ding Wan had heard that the tofu factory had given out its wages and bonuses a few days ago. All the workers received a lot of bonuses, and everyone was thrilled.

The village became livelier over the past few days as many gathered to chat even though it was cold outside. That was because everyone was happy and could not help but discuss things with each other.

Most of the time, the villagers talked about the tofu factory. Everyone praised the factory, and the villagers genuinely appreciated Su Binglan.

Two days ago, Ding Wan heard everyone talking about her niece when she went for a walk. She felt pretty emotional when she saw everyone’s smiles and happy expressions. @@novelbin@@

In the past, everyone would gather to discuss the harvest. The villagers’ conversations were primarily about if their crops were enough to last a year and if the weather would be good the following year.

Everyone discussed those things as their hearts were full of worry and anxiety. The atmosphere was quite gloomy then, but things had changed. Everyone’s faces were full of smiles, and the villagers were full of hope.

Ding Wan knew it was all because of her niece. Ding Wan sat down and looked at her handbag. “You want to help the villagers and improve their living conditions, don’t you?

She looked at her niece as she spoke. She knew Su Binglan was a capable person. Everyone in the village said that her niece was the village’s treasure.

Su Binglan was stunned. She did not think that Ding Wan would be able to tell.

“Aunt Ding, I’ve thought of opening an embroidery shop for a long time. It’s just to help myself and the villagers.”

Ads by Pubfuture She smiled gently. “As long as everyone is diligent and not afraid of hard work, we can earn more, and our days will be better.”

Ding Wan could tell that Su Binglan could do great things. She felt that the villagers of Su Teng Village and the surrounding villages could make money with Su Binglan.

“Binglan, I’ll do whatever you need me to,” Ding Wan said, “I understand that too. Our embroidery shop will be different from the others. We’ll teach everyone to do these things together. Whoever works at our embroidery shop will be delighted.”

She had to help Binglan manage the embroidery shop, so she could finally do something. She felt that only by following Su Binglan could she do meaningful things and help the villagers.

Ding Wan became eager and excited just by thinking of those things. She was about to rub her fists and do something big.

Su Binglan knew her aunt was wise and had seen the world. Therefore, she could immediately understand what her aunt meant whenever she talked to Ding Wan.

Su Binglan nodded. “I’m not worried now that you’ll be helping me manage the shop. But first, I’ll teach you how to do double-sided embroidery.

“We’re not just making dolls and handbags. We’ll also make three- or four-piece bedding sets, screens, and decorations. I’ll draw a few patterns later. Our items look better if we embroider them according to the patterns.”

Ding Wan was surprised. “You know how to draw patterns, Binglan? Why didn’t I think of that? Embroidery is done according to patterns. It’s easier to sell an item with pretty patterns, after all.”

A few patterns flashed across Su Binglan’s eyes as she said, “We can also make things for weddings, Aunt Ding. Things like pillows, red pendants, red festive screens, blankets, and so on.”

Ding Wan clapped when she heard that and excitedly said, “That’s terrific. Why didn’t I think of that?”

She had done many embroideries but would embroider whatever others asked her to. She had never thought of making a set of festive embroideries herself.

That way, everyone could go to her shop instead of going to town every time.

“You’re always thinking ahead, Binglan. If only I thought of these things. Still, it’s good now. I’ll feel energized if I work with you,” Ding Wan said.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan could say anything, and it would make Ding Wan excited. She wished she could immediately get started on things. Just looking at the doll and bags made her feel at ease.

Su Binglan looked at her aunt’s happy expression and could not help but smile. “We can add more things to our embroidery shop later, Aunt Ding. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Our embroidery shop will be unique, so we’ll need new ideas. Then we can constantly make new things even if people imitate us.”

Ding Wan kept nodding. “Yes, you’re right.”

The more Ding Wan listened to Su Binglan’s words, the more she felt it made sense. She seemed to have thought of something and said quietly, “Binglan, do you know what happened to your uncle?”

Su Binglan was stunned and asked, “It’s about Uncle Fengchen. What happened to him?”

‘Why didn’t I hear anything about it?’

Ding Wan shook her head. “I’m not talking about that. Didn’t your Uncle

Fengchen save a girl named Miao Zhizhi?”

Hearing this, Su Binglan suddenly understood what her aunt meant. “Aunt

Ding, are you talking about the matter between Uncle Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi?”

“Let’s keep it among our family,” Ding Wan said smilingly, “I went to visit your grandma two days ago. She said she’s preparing a wedding for your uncle and Zhizhi.

“Your grandma said that Zhizhi remembered her past. She no longer has a home and doesn’t want to return to her old place. She wants to stay here. Your uncle has also expressed his stance and asked your grandparents to agree to take in Zhizhi. He said he would take good care of her.

“However, your grandmother felt it’s inappropriate to keep Zhizhi at home like that without an identity. Your uncle said he’s marrying Zhizhi and that she’s also willing to marry him. They’re sincere about each other.

“Your grandparents were so happy that they were ready to work for the two. However, no one else knows about this yet except our family members. If I could embroider some festive items for the couple, we could get our embroidery shop known.”

Ding Wan never dared to talk so much when she was in poor health. Since she had recovered and felt healthy again, she spoke a lot more. She was passionate about embroidery and could talk a lot about it.

Su Binglan also smiled when she heard this. “It seems like Uncle Fengzhen heard what Zhizhi said that day. Grandpa and Grandma will be happy since Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi have feelings for each other.

‘Zhizhi will soon be my aunt. Since she doesn’t have a family, our family will help her with everything..”

Since Miao Zhizhi would soon be a member of the Su family, Su Binglan would naturally treat her well and as one of their own. She would prepare everything Miao Zhizhi needed.

“Zhizhi has a good personality. I met her before. Your mother and I like her too. We’ll be a family in the future,” Ding Wan said smilingly.

Of course, Ding Wan hoped her brother-in-law would find someone with a good personality. Only then could the family live in harmony.

‘Indeed, Zhizhi is a good girl for Fengchen.’

Old master Su, old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Miao Zhizhi had been living under the same roof for so long. Everyone knew what kind of personality Miao Zhizhi had.

Therefore, everyone was at ease to let Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen be together.

“We’ll do as you say, Aunt Ding,” Su Binglan said.

“I watched your uncle grow up,” Ding Wan said smilingly, ‘Your Uncle

Fengchen was still a kid when I first came to the Su family. I treated him like a child. I couldn’t care about him so much when I was in poor health, but I was still worried about him.

Ads by Pubfuture “It’s great now that he’s going to get married. As his sister-in-law, I’m happy. Since I know how to embroider, I thought of doing something for him and his future wife. That’s why I’ve been busy at home over these past few days.”

Ding Wan would always tell her niece her thoughts. She would not treat Su

Binglan like a child just because she was young. Instead, Ding Wan genuinely admired her niece. She would keep some things from others but would tell Su Binglan everything.

“Our family will only keep improving, Aunt Ding,” Su Binglan said softly.

“Yes, with you here, I believe we will improve.”

The two talked for a while and discussed their embroidery business. Su Binglan then began teaching Ding Wan double-sided embroidery and cross-stitching.

She revealed her prepared drawings and said, “Aunt Ding, I call that drawing the Hall of Gold and Jade and that one World of Ice and Snow. I drew two embroidery samples first and will draw more later.”

She had many ideas but had to teach her aunt the double-sided embroidery and cross-stitching techniques first.

Ding Wan was stunned when she saw the embroidery patterns her niece had drawn. She praised the young lady, “Binglan, this one is gorgeous, and so is that one. The scenery is beautiful.”

Su Binglan referenced a memory she had of a modern anime. It was called World of Ice and Snow, which was a stunning picture. It was a fairytale world that could calm one’s heart.

Ding Wan held the embroidery and could not bear to part with it. “I’ve never seen such embroidery before. Binglan, I can guarantee everyone will go crazy over this if we sell it.”

Even famous embroideries of that era could not compare to the two drawings Su Binglan made. She also hoped it would have a place in the embroidery market.

Ads by Pubfuture If the sales and income were good, she could pay the future embroidery shop workers more. However, she still had to hire people to do these things first.

“I’ll draw more pictures later, Aunt Ding. Although the shop is incomplete, we can still hire people from our village. We can hire more people when Xueye and his team complete the shop.

“Do you have any recommendations, Aunt Ding? They must be diligent, have a good character, and know needlework.”

Ding Wan replied, “When I was still doing embroidery a few years ago, a few of our villagers would embroider with me. Although they only made purses and handkerchiefs, their needlework is decent. Still, I’ve been away from embroidering in recent years. Let me think about it some more.”

Ding Wan was learning double-sided embroidery from Su Binglan while wondering who among the villagers was best at needlework.

“Sun Damin knows a little embroidery, but because the things she embroiders aren’t perfect, she has trouble selling them. Later on, she stopped embroidering.

“There’s also Zhou Wen’e from the Dongzhou family. She’s Dong Xiaolei’s mother, and her needlework is impressive. I’m familiar with Yang Luqin from the Yang family. She also knows how to embroider.”

While thinking, Ding Wan continued, “The people I mentioned are good people and hardworking.”

Su Binglan thought about it and remembered these people. Sun Damin and Zhou Wen’e had gone to the tofu factory for an interview but were too weak and did not get hired.

Zhou Wen’e’s eldest daughter, Dong Xiaolei, was also too young. No one from their family got a job at the tofu factory, and their family’s conditions were not good either. That was because Dong Xiaolei’s father joined the army a few years ago and had never returned.

Yang Luqin was Su Binglan’s former neighbor. She was a good person and had a straightforward personality. She happened to be away when the tofu factory was hiring, so she did not get an interview. Yang Luqin got pretty annoyed.

She had greeted Su Binglan when she saw the young lady earlier and told Su Binglan to inform her if the factory was hiring again.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Aunt Ding, let’s hire these people first. I might trouble you to make a trip over these next two days and ask if they will work with us.

“Tell them I’ll pay them a basic monthly salary. The embroidery shop will rely on commissions, so the more they do, the more they’ll earn.”

“Binglan,” Ding Wan said, “They’ll agree if I ask them. It’s not easy to find a job like this these days. They will be willing to work by your side even if my embroidery skills are good. They’re clever.”

Ding Wan could understand how everyone felt. After all, everyone in the village knew how beneficial it was to work for Su Binglan. Everyone would be happy if she were to ask for their help.

Of course, Ding Wan was willing to travel and visit her old embroidery friends.

That was something she was happy about.

“We still have to go through the motions, “Su Binglan said, “Just ask for everyone’s opinion. Don’t wait until you’re working in our workshop and have other opinions.”

“All right, I’ll listen to you.” Ding Wan listened to her niece.

Su Binglan laughed, “You can tell me if you have any thoughts. You’ve done embroidery, and you know more than I do.”

Ding Wan was embarrassed. “I can’t compare to you in embroidery. You just taught me double-sided embroidery. It’s excellent and beautiful. It’s much easier than what I learned before.”

Su Binglan said, “When the embroidery shop is complete, we’ll hire people as we did at the factory. We’ll let everyone come for an interview. We won’t be asking for everyone’s opinion like this at the beginning.”

Ding Wan could imagine that scene.

“By then, Sun Damin and the others will be grateful to you, Binglan. They won’t have to go through an interview. Moreover, they’ll be senior workers at the embroidery shop, so they’ll have priority.”

Ding Wan had experience with these things, so she could roughly guess what everyone was thinking.

Su Binglan seemed to have thought of something and asked, “By the way, it’s expensive to put cotton in this doll. Is there anything else we can use that’s just as soft?”

Ding Wan’s hands stopped moving, and she started to think seriously. “Use rags. Most cloth shops have many rags that are too tattered to be made into anything. You can buy a few bags and fill the dolls up.

“You can also use wheat husks, which is even cheaper. Every household has them, so you can use those too. It’s in the pillows we use..”@@novelbin@@
