Li Shi felt touched when he heard how his boss addressed his parents. He did not feel anything when others respected him but had an indescribable feeling when others respected his parents. His heart was full of gratitude toward his boss, but he did not know how to show it.

He felt slightly nervous as he watched Su Binglan take his mother’s pulse. He feared his mother’s condition might be more severe than expected. Still, he would spend as much money as needed if Su Binglan could cure his mother.

After all, he did not want anything to happen to his parents and only wanted them to be healthy. His mother had also said she would find him a wife to look after their future child, and Li Shi could imagine it.

After taking Mrs. Li’s pulse, Su Binglan immediately prescribed the medicine, “Wenxiu, get three doses according to the prescription.”

Then she looked at Mr. Li and told Su Wenxiu to get him some medicine also. Su Binglan passed the medicine to Li Shi and said, “This is the medicine for your mother. Brew it and give it to your mother to drink. These are your father’s. Do the same for him.

“Oh, right, this is for your mother’s eyes. Her vision is blurring because she cries so often. Use this—she’ll be okay in five to six days. Remember, they need to rest and recuperate for half a month. Only then will they be fine.

“The same goes for your father. Your parents’ main issue is that they’re malnourished. They’ll get better after eating better food and getting proper rest.”

Su Binglan told Li Shi many details. Li Shi’s eyes turned red excitedly when he heard his boss say that his parents would be fine in a few days. He would not doubt these words. “Thank you, Boss!”

He did not know what else to say besides that while his parents were stunned. They did not expect that they would recover. Mrs. Li was well aware of her condition and did not know how much longer she had to live, but she heard that she would be okay in half a month, which surprised her.

However, Su Binglan had not mentioned the medicines’ price

“M-Miss Su, how much is the medicine?” Mrs. Li knew a consultation would cost two coins per person or four coins for her and her husband but did not know how much the medicine would cost.

Su Binglan replied, “Since you’re Li Shi’s parents, you won’t have to pay for the medicine.”

Li Shi differed from Lin Zheng and Zhou Shan in Su Binglan’s eyes. One was her disciple, and the other was her workers under her protection. However, she would have told Su Wenxiu to charge the Li family according to the rules if he were the one running the place.

Ads by Pubfuture Still, since Su Binglan was present to give medical services and Li Shi’s parents were there for consultation and treatment, Su Binglan would not accept their money for the medication.

“B-Boss, you can’t do that. We must pay for the herbs,” Li Shi sobbed, “I’ve brought money.”

“You don’t have to pay me. Since you call me boss, I’ll still protect you,” Su

Binglan said, “If you feel indebted, continue to help me look after the shop and learn what I’ve taught you. Remember, you still have to be a manager in the future.”

Li Shi knew his boss preferred things to be brief-winded, so he nodded, feeling touched. “Yes, Boss! I’ll take good care of the shop and study hard.”

He didn’t know what else to say as he held the medicine with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

“You’re an adult now, so don’t cry, or everyone will laugh at you.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li knew Su Binglan was much younger than Li Shi, but Li Shi treated Su Binglan as his older sister. The older couple could see their sincerity.

Li Shi would only show weakness in front of Su Binglan or when he was alone.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were also grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of their hearts and continuously expressed gratitude.

After a few more backs and forwards, Su Binglan let Li Shi take his parents back. As Li Shi drove the oxcart, he said to his parents, “I want to settle down in Su Teng Village It’ll be perfect, I know it.”

Mrs. Li nodded. “I also think this place is perfect. We’ll go wherever you go.”

“Let’s go back and sell that land,” Li Shi said, “Then well pack up and see if we can settle down in Su Teng Village.”

He felt safer in Su Teng Village because he knew his boss was around. After all, he treated his boss as his family.

Du Xiaoshuan, Li Dazhuang, and a few others were usually responsible for the hotpot restaurant’s ingredients. They were also in charge of gathering goods and restocking them. @@novelbin@@

Ads by Pubfuture Since Li Dazhuang and Jiang Xiaocheng had gotten married, Su Wenwu told him to help out in town more often so that it would be easier for the newly-engaged couple to be together.

Meanwhile, Du Xiaoshuan collected ingredients from Stone Village and sometimes visited Su Teng Village. The hotpot restaurant did not have enough meatballs this time, so he went to the tofu factory to collect some.

No matter the reason, he was always thrilled to go to Su Teng Village. That was mainly because Du Xiaoju was there. Du Xiaoshuan felt extremely at ease because his sister worked alongside Su Binglan.

Du Xiaoju was excited to see her brother. “Brother, wait a moment. I’ll go in and load the goods.”

Li Mei and Du Xiaoju were in charge of people making meatballs for the hotpot restaurant. Li Mei quickly helped Du Xiaoju when she heard someone was coming to collect the meatballs.

Li Mei was a typically observant and hardworking person. That was why Su Binglan wanted her to make meatballs with Du Xiaoju.

After packing the goods, the duo pushed the cart out. Li Mei was stunned when she saw Du Xiaoshuan.

Du Xiaoshuan thought his younger sister had come out but did not expect to see a beautiful young lady instead. He was astounded, especially when Li Mei looked back at him with big eyes.

“Li Mei, this is my brother, Xiaoshuan. He’s from Stone Village and works for the civil and military young master,” Du Xiaoju introduced the two, “Brother, this is Li Mei. She makes meatballs with me now.”

Du Xiaoshuan nodded in a daze and said in embarrassment, “M-Miss Mei, nice to meet you.”

Li Mei also returned to her senses and replied, “Hello, Xiaoshuan.”

She did not even know where to put her hands as she spoke.

Li Mei and Du Xiaoju prepared to carry the box to the oxcart, but Du Xiaoshuan quickly said, “Don’t put in so much effort, ladies. Let me do it.”

He lifted the box and placed it on the oxcart, making his arms look muscular. Li Mei felt shy and thought she should not have looked. However, she could not help but take a few more glances.

Before Du Xiaoshuan left, he took out a stick of candied gourd and said, “This is for you, Little Sister.”

“Thank you, Big Brother,” Du Xiaoju said smilingly, “Stop buying things for me, okay? You should save money and find a good wife. I want a sister-in-law, you know?”

Du Xiaoshuan said, “Mother wants me to settle in Su Teng Village. She said I would be closer to you to look out for each other.

Du Xiaoju was delighted to hear that and replied, “What’s your plan, Big Brother?”

Du Xiaoshuan said, “Su Teng Village is perfect, so I agree with Mother. Since we’re not originally from Stone Village, we’ll move here later. Now that I’ve found you, Mother feels I owe you for not being able to protect you for all those years. Still, I do want to be closer to you..”

Du Xiaoju knew what kind of life her mother and brother had lived in the past. Just thinking about it made her uncomfortable. She became teary-eyed, and her voice was hoarse, “I’m happy that we found each other again, Big Brother. Please tell Mother not to miss me too much.

“You don’t always have to think about me and start thinking more about yourself. I’m working at the factory now and receive salaries and bonuses. Also, Miss Su has treated me very well. I have many sisters who take good care of me, like Li Mei.”

Du Xiaoju treated Luo Jian and Li Mei as her sisters. However, Luo Juan had gone to help at Blue Mountain Academy’s cafeteria, so Du Xiaoju became more familiar with Li Mei.

Perhaps it was because Li Mei was older than Du Xiaoju and more mature in handling things. Most of the time, Li Mei took care of Du Xiaoju instead. Although Du Xiaoju did not say it, Li Mei knew she was grateful.

After hearing his sister’s words, Du Xiaoshuan looked at Li Mei again and said thoughtfully, “Thank you for taking care of my sister, Miss Mei.”

Li Mei was at a loss when she suddenly heard this and saw Du Xiaoshuan’s expression of gratitude. “N-No, I didn’t do much. X-Xiaoju also takes care of me.”

Her words were incoherent, and her face was flushed red as she waved around. She typically did not stutter but not this time.

“All right, don’t scare my friend, Big Brother,” Du Xiaoju hurriedly said.

Du Xiaoshuan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “W-?Well, I didn’t mean to.”

He wondered if he had looked too fierce just now and if he had scared her because of it. “I’m sorry. I-I didn’t do it on purpose!”

Li Mei quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. There’s no need to apologize.”

“Big Brother, you should go now. Remember to tell mother not to worry about me,” Du Xiaoju said, “I like Su Teng Village too, so I’ll also save up. When the time comes, we can buy a house and live here.”

Du Xiaoshuan said, “Yes, Little Sister. You don’t have to worry. You can save the money for yourself since I’m also earning.”

Ads by Pubfuture The brother and sister chatted a little longer before Du Xiaoshuan drove the oxcart to town to deliver the goods.

Li Mei’s face was still red, but Du Xiaoju was still young and simple-minded, so she did not think much of it. She explained to Li Mei, “My brother is a nice guy. He’s not scary. He has a good temper and is great to my mother and me.

“Xiaoshuan is also very hardworking. Although, he might look a little serious when he’s not smiling. So, don’t be afraid of him, okay?” Du Xiaoju was worried that her brothers serious expression had frightened Li Mei.

Li Mei shook her head and quickly explained, “No, your brother is fine. I just…l just don’t know what to say.”

Du Xiaoju chuckled. “Right? You think my brother is nice, too, right?

Xiaoshuan is very attentive and always brings me food whenever he visits me. He can’t bear to eat all the food himself and is always close to our mother and me.

“We didn’t have much to eat when I was younger, and Xiaoshuan always said he was full. But I Imow he said that just so my mother and I could eat more.”

Du Xiaoju could not help but ramble on whenever she talked about her brother. She would not be able to stop herself.

Still, Li Mei listened attentively with a trace of emotion in her heart. After returning inside, she listened to Du Xiaoju talk about her brother while making meatballs.

She said lowly, “A person who is dutiful to his parents and kind to his siblings is indeed good.”

“Yes, my brother is kind.” Du Xiaoju nodded, “I’d like him and my mother to settle down in Su Teng Village because of how great it is. The village will only improve with Miss Su around.

“Many others want to live here, too, but not everyone can enter without the village official’s permission. One would have to go through the town center to buy land.

“I heard our village is good because the village official only allows those with good morals to live here. The village official won’t let problematic people live here.” Du Xiaoju only learned a lot about Su Teng Village after staying there.

Li Mei laughed when she heard this. “Yes, our village is magnificent. My parents are gone, but I still have my younger siblings. I would probably get bullied if I lived in another village, but everyone here helps us.

“Even the village chief would ask if my siblings and I needed help. We might’ve starved to death if it weren’t for the villagers’ help.”

Ads by Pubfuture Everyone in Su Teng Village helped each other. Although the villagers liked to chat and gossip, they had no bad intentions.

Du Xiaoju sighed. “Stone Village is unlike this one. My brother told me some people in Stone Village are very selfish. Some don’t care about their parents, and others don’t care about their siblings. Li Mei, I admire you. You’ve been taking care of your younger siblings all alone.” @@novelbin@@

Li Mei said, “Well, they’re my siblings, and we only have each other to rely on. How can I ignore them? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did.”

She would not be able to sleep in peace if she were to be selfish. She would never have the heart to watch her younger siblings starve.

Taking excellent care of her siblings made her feel at ease and that she had not let her late parents down.

Du Xiaoju started to admire Li Mei from the bottom of her heart after discovering what she had been through. Moreover, Du Xiaoju was willing to keep close to Li Mei and talk to her more.

After all, Du Xiaoju’s mother and brother said she should befriend those with good hearts.

Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu had been busy the whole afternoon, and they only finished giving consultations when it was late at night. The brother-sister duo would probably have to stay till midnight if it were not for Su Binglan’s outstanding medical skills.

This time, many who came for consultations were from the surrounding villages. After all, everyone worked hard all year round and would inevitably develop health problems.

Even if these people faced severe illnesses, they bore them as much as possible. They would refuse to see a doctor or get medicine.

Take Old Lady Lin, for example. Her leg was in so much pain that she could not sleep at night, but she never complained because she did not want her family to worry and spend so much money on medication.

It was too expensive for people in that era to see doctors and get medicine.

Therefore, they would resist but die if they could not.

Su Binglan had learned about this and wanted to treat as many people as possible. Moreover, Su Wenxiu could continue even if she stopped giving medical services in the future.

In the future, he would also cultivate some apprentices. Then more people would benefit from more affordable healthcare.

Su Binglan had many ideas but needed time to put them into motion. After all, there were some things she could only do one step at a time.

As the duo packed up and was about to close the door, Su Wenxiu said excitedly, “I can take in apprentices tomorrow, Little Sister!”

He could now be a teacher, which he dared not even imagine in the past..

Chapter 393: Candles and Oil Lamps

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wenxiu felt highly tense after such a busy afternoon because he could not make mistakes whenever handing out medicine to the patients. Even so, he did not feel tired.

Su Binglan noticed his expression and smiled, “You’ve gone through the wringer the whole afternoon, Second Brother. Don’t you feel tired?”

Su Wenxiu was puzzled. “No, I’m not. Are you? You didn’t rest the entire afternoon.”

Su Binglan packed the herbs and said smilingly, “I’m alright. I’m in a good mood after helping so many people.”

She was the person who Su Wenxiu admired most. ‘Your medical skills are outstanding, so you can help many people. Also, I feel like the medicinal herbs you prepared are magical. I’ve never seen anyone prepare medicine like you.”

He learned more and more from his sister while constantly researching and studying daily. He thought his sister’s prescriptions were bold, but the effects were always better.

He had never thought of treating illnesses this way but suddenly realized Su Binglan must be an expert after seeing her prescriptions. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan raised her brows. “You can’t be conservative as a doctor, especially since you can’t treat some illnesses by being so. You won’t be able to cure your patients if you’re too conservative.

“You must be bold to cure the more severe illnesses. Of course, conservative treatment methods are still appropriate to cure some illnesses.”

Su Wenxiu listened to his sister’s words and said, “I know, Little Sister. One might say, ‘the right medicine at the right time.’”

“Yes, I like that,” Su Binglan tidied up the herbs as she spoke and took Su Wenxiu’s notes to read. She read through them and saw everyone’s conditions, symptoms, and medications.

She praised her second brother, “You’ve been working hard, Wenxiu. Keep it up, and you’ll become an unrivaled doctor.”

Su Wenxiu would feel re-energized whenever his sister encouraged him. Su Wenxiu knew he had to read and consolidate more notes when he got home, so he planned to stay up late to study.

It was good that the Su family’s conditions had improved. They could afford candles and oil lamps now. Su Wenxiu also had his own room and desk, where he could sit and study under the candles and oil lamps.

Those things were expensive, and Su Wenxiu was typically reluctant to use them. However, he had to use them for his studies. He would study with 120% spirit and not waste time to make up for it.

After packing up, Su Binglan told Su Wenxiu, “You should go home first.”

Su Wenxiu was stunned. He asked, “Aren’t you coming?

‘Where is she going in the middle of the night?’

“I’m going to Aunt Ding’s house for a bit,” Su Binglan answered.”

“Oh, okay.” Su Wenxiu knew his sister had other things to tend to. After all, the Su family had grown accustomed to listening to Su Binglan’s arrangements and would not ask too many questions.

Su Wenxiu went home after locking the door. After a tense afternoon, he could finally relax but immediately felt hungry. Therefore, he rushed home for dinner.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan arrived at Ding Wan’s house almost simultaneously with the older lady. Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian had already finished cooking egg fried rice for dinner.

Since Su Binglan taught Ding Wan how to make egg fried rice, Ding Wan had been cooking for her husband and son every night. The father and son kept saying it was delicious.

Therefore, the father-son duo also learned how to make it. That night, the duo returned home early to cook egg fried rice and then waited for Ding Wan to come home to eat.

Ding Wan was thrilled to see Su Binglan. “Ah, Binglan is here. Quick, come in.

Your uncle and cousin made egg fried rice with meat slices. They should taste good.”

Su Binglan had told Ding Wan that she could add more things to egg fried rice, so Ding Wan relayed that message to her husband and son. So, they added more ingredients to their egg fried rice.

Su Binglan’s expression changed, “Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, your cooking skills are pretty good.”

Su Wenxian smiled. “You’re too kind, Cousin Binglan. We didn’t know much about cooking, but my mother taught us how to make egg fried rice after learning it from you.”

Ding Wan warmly invited her niece to eat, and Su Binglan did not argue. While eating, Ding Wan told her niece how everyone had made school bags.

‘Everyone says the backpacks are practical and convenient. As for the handbags, we agree that young ladies will like them more. I also told Shi Cui to visit you in the afternoon to get her hand treated.”

Su Binglan nodded. “You did a good job with them, Aunt Ding. Shi Cui did come to get her hand examined. It wasn’t too severe, so she’ll be okay in a few days.”

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were clueless about the embroidery shop, so they did not interrupt the duo.

After the meal, Ding Wan took a few bags from the back room. “We made eight backpacks and six handbags today. They’re learning a little slower now, but we’ll be able to finish faster in the afternoon.”

Su Binglan looked at the bags and said, “These will suffice. Also, Miss He knows how to do needlework, so you can ask her if she wants to work at the embroidery shop when you have the time.”

“Miss He?” Ding Wan needed help remembering.

“Miss He is Lin Chai’s wife,” Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin probably won’t have an impression of her since she came to our village quite late, and you weren’t in good health then. You may not have an impression of her, either, Aunt Ding.

“Lin Chai had difficulties speaking and didn’t interact with the villagers, but you might not know him.”

After hearing what her niece had said, Ding Wan responded, “Miss He is the young lady with three sons, right? I remember now. She was weak and probably stayed home often, so I didn’t have much contact with her. Still, I didn’t expect her to know about needlework.

“I heard that her family is in a tough spot. Since she knows needlework, it would be great if she could work in the embroidery shop. It would improve her family’s living conditions, after all.”

Ding Wan also hoped to help the villagers as much as possible. Then she thought of something and said, “By the way, Binglan, we might have a problem with efficiency because everyone is good at sewing different things.

“We can work faster by splitting our workload. For example, one person can handle the fabric, the other sew the bag, and the other finishes it by stitching the buttons.”

After listening and thinking about it, Su Binglan said, “That’s a terrific idea, Aunt Ding. I never thought of it like that. Then well give the workers bonuses and wages according to the team’s efficiency. You can arrange for them to form small teams. The more they do, the more they earn.”

Ding Wan nodded. “All right, I’ll remember to tell them that tomorrow. Don’t worry about Miss He. I’ll talk to her personally.”

Su Wenxian was listening and eating, but he was a little distracted.. He could not help but ask, “Cousin Binglan, is there anything my father and I can do?”

Even Su Wenxian was envious of his mother. After all, his mother had been busy the entire day with a face full of smiles. Su Wenxian and his father also wanted to busy themselves and do something meaningful. @@novelbin@@

The village men had nothing to do all day and felt restless. It would have been fine if there were no references for comparison, but Ding Wan had a job and could earn money.

Su Wenxian felt even more uneasy whenever he went out and saw people busy with embroidering. He also wanted to work and feel like a helpful person.

Su Fengzhang no longer bothered to eat. He looked at his niece and said, “Binglan, I’m strong and unafraid of hard work. If there’s anything I can do, please tell me.”

He was anxious, too, since his brothers had jobs to do. Still, he could not find a job or rely on anyone else but his niece. Even his second and third brothers had relied on Su Binglan to find them a suitable business.

He believed in his niece’s capabilities, especially since she had cured his wife. Ding Wan could not have recovered if it were not for Su Binglan. The family did not know how to thank Su Binglan and only wanted to be helpful.

Su Binglan looked at her cousin and uncle’s worried expressions. She could not help but laugh, “Don’t worry, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian. I have something important for you to do.”

“What is it?” The father-son duo looked at Su Binglan excitedly without blinking.

Su Binglan did not beat around the bush, saying, “I’ve thought about it. We should set up a winery.”

“Winemaking?”

Ads by Pubfuture “A winery?

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were stunned. Even Ding Wan’s eyes widened. She had mentioned finding her son and husband a job to Su Binglan before but did not know what Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian could do.

Su Binglan said she would think about it, and Ding Wan thought her niece would devise something for Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian to do. However, no one expected Su Binglan to suggest opening a winery.

The family had never considered such a thing because it was too exquisite. Plus, only prominent families had wine recipes. Even if there were free-range wine, it would be a recipe their ancestors would have to pass down in the family instead of sharing with outsiders.

Moreover, Su Fengzhang liked to drink and occasionally went to town to buy wine. That was when Ding Wan was in good health, and his family’s conditions were good. Still, he never dared to buy much since wine was costly for ordinary people.

Su Fengzhang had not had wine in a long time, so he was shocked and in disbelief when he heard his niece mentioning winemaking.

Everyone looked at Su Binglan in a daze, not knowing how to react.

After recovering from her shock, Ding Wan said, “Are we going to make wine, Binglan? Your uncle, cousin, and I don’t know how to do that, especially after hearing how complicated it is.”

Su Fengzhang returned to his senses and said, “It would be great if we could make wine. Then we can drink our very own fragrant and delicious wine.” “We’ll have wine in our village instead of going to town to get some,” Su Wenxian laughed.

The family was thrilled but dared not imagine it, as they kept thinking it was not real. They looked at Su Binglan, waiting for her to speak. The family was nervous and wondered if they could genuinely make wine.

“I know how to make wine since I have the recipe,” Su Binglan said lowly.

“Whoa!”

Ads by Pubfuture “What? Did I mishear you, Cousin Binglan?” Su Wenxian’s jaw dropped in shock while his father gasped.

‘My cousin can brew wine! She knows the recipe!’

It was genuinely exciting for the family, and they did not doubt Su Binglan. After all, everyone had witnessed the young lady’s abilities. It would be true if she said she knew how to make wine.

Su Fengzhang rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying, “We’ll do as you say, Binglan.”

He loved making wine and felt energetic just thinking about it. He could only think of that at the moment.

Su Wenxian hurriedly said, “You have me, too, Cousin Binglan. I’m not afraid of learning new things, and I’m hardworking. I want to make wine, too!”

Su Binglan replied, “I’ll let you two handle the winemaking. I’ll need to prepare wine-making equipment and open a winery, so there’s no rush now. I didn’t plan on telling you yet, so I’ll have to consider it.

“Still, since you’re so excited, I’ll tell Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian first. However, you can’t tell anyone else about this.”

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, Cousin

Binglan,” Su Wenxian said, “I’m the best at keeping my mouth shut.”

Su Fengzhang added, “I don’t ramble to others either. I know it’s best to keep such a thing to myself.”

Ding Wan could not help but laugh as she looked at the father-son duo. ‘You two are like children.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Although she said that, she was delighted to see her husband and son so happy. Now, the whole family would have jobs to do. After all, one would grow restless without a job to do. Having something to do would make one feel more fulfilled.

One would only find it interesting if one did what one was passionate about. Ding Wan looked forward to the following day and knew she would feel energized after waking up.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan started discussing the winery with Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian.

“Binglan,” Su Fengzhang said, “Are you planning to build a winery before we start making wine?

“We don’t have to wait for the winery to be built since your house is sizable enough. You have three rooms to store many things, so you can place the brewed wine here first.”

“That’s right,” Su Wenxian said excitedly, “Since we have so much free time, we can use it to make wine.”

The father-son duo could hardly wait to get started.

Su Fengzhang said after some thought, “We still need wine barrels. Can we find someone to help us with that? How big do you think the barrels should be, Binglan?

Su Binglan knew how to make wine but needed to consider the details. Now that her uncle had mentioned this, she realized she needed to settle that too.

She said, “We’ll make big wine barrels and small jars. The barrels will be more convenient for storing wine, and then we’ll fill the jars and sell them. We’ll need big and small jars, but I don’t know where to get them.”

Su Binglan thought, ‘Should I build a pottery shop in the village?

However, it was too complicated, so she dropped the idea.

“There’s a family in Willow Village that makes clay pots,” Su Fengzhang said.

Su Wenxian looked at his father. “Didn’t you say the family had stopped

making clay pots? I heard no one bought them even after all the work they put into it.”

Su Binglan was a little confused, “Why isn’t anyone buying their pots?”

Su Wenxian said, “There are many pottery jars out there, so most go elsewhere to get them. The family in Willow Village makes pottery jars by themselves, and only the people in the surrounding villages know about it.

“However, the villagers only buy some as daily necessities. They rarely buy several at a time. That’s why the family stopped making them..”

Su Binglan listened to her uncle and cousin while thinking.

Su Fengzhang said, “Don’t worry, Binglan. There’s a pot maker in the neighboring town who can make pots. It’s a little far, but using an oxcart will be manageable.”

“That’s right, Cousin Binglan, “Su Wenxian nodded. My father and I can do it since it’s so easy.”

Su Wenxian was concerned his cousin would find it troublesome and give up on the winery.

Su Fengzhang was also anxious. He was now excited and wanted to make wine as soon as possible. He would feel proud if he could make a fragrant wine. “Binglan, leave it to me. We want to make wine,” Su Fengzhang said.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengzhang, how’s the family in Willow Village that used to make pots?” @@novelbin@@

Su Fengzhang initially needed clarification, so he asked, “What do you mean?

Ding Wan understood what her niece meant and reminded her, “Binglan, do you mean what the family is like and how they deal with people?”

Su Fengzhang replied, “The couple is sincere, and their two sons are dutiful. However, people who bought pots from the family typically said they would pay the family later and take the pots first.

“To be frank, the couple is too kind to let people do that. Some don’t even pay for the pots at the end of the day and drag on the payment.

Su Wenxiuan was stunned. “Such people exist?”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengzhang nodded. “Of course, there are. The people from our village are good, but those from other villages aren’t like us. They’re selfish and will take advantage of others.

“I pity that family,” Su Wenxian said.

“Too many people don’t have it easy,” Su Fengzhang sighed.

‘Many can barely handle their families’ affairs, let alone help others with theirs.’

Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengzhang, let’s not go to neighboring villages to buy wine jars. Instead, you should ask the family from Willow Village if they’ll start selling again. We’ll buy from them.”

She knew there was a limit to what she could do, but she would still help as many people as possible. However, she would only help those who were of good character.

Ding Wan, her husband, and her son heard this and understood that Su Binglan wanted to help the family from Willow Village.

“Sure, don’t worry,” Su Fengzhang said, “I’ll ask around first and inform you when I get back.”

“Okay, Uncle Fengzhang.”

The next step was to make wine. Su Fengzhang and his son were interested in winemaking, so their eyes sparkled.

“We can make many types of wine from various fruits like grapes,” Su Binglan explained patiently.

The father-son duo was stunned as they listened to Su Binglan. She had mentioned many variations of wine they were unfamiliar with.

“Fruits and grapes? Can we make wine with grapes?” Su Wenxian felt clueless about this and did not understand much of his cousin’s words.

Su Binglan thought of many things when discussing wine. “That’s right. We can make wine with grapes and various fruits. Wines typically taste sweet, and even women can drink them.

Ads by Pubfuture “We can also make fruit juice without alcohol. It’ll be like a soft drink that children can enjoy. Many fruit wines have various flavors based on what ingredients we use, and…”

She could not stop talking about wine, mainly because her uncle and cousin were interested.

Ding Wan initially thought winemaking had nothing to do with her and did not understand it. However, she became increasingly interested as she listened. She added, “I didn’t know about fruit wine. It sounds so amazing that I can’t wait to try it.”

“That’s good,” Su Binglan said thoughtfully.

Su Fengzhang’s eyes brightened as he listened to his niece, especially when he heard how many variations of wines there were. “I only know most use grains to make wine, but I’ve never considered using fruits.”

Ding Wan said, “That’s because we’re unfamiliar with winemaking. Still, if Binglan says we can, then we can.”

“You’re right,” Su Fengzhang said proudly, “After all, Binglan is from the Su family and is brilliant.”

Ding Wan noticed her husband’s proud expression and could not help but laugh out loud. Su Binglan followed suit, making the atmosphere rather uplifting.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian continued to listen attentively, wanting to hear more from Su Binglan.

Su Binglan continued, “Honestly, the better quality wines in town are still unrefined when I drink them. If I add two more steps into the process, our wine will be purer and more fragrant.”

“What are the two extra steps?” Su Fengzhang knew nothing about winemaking but was very interested and wanted to learn.

“I’ll teach you and Cousin Wenxian how to make wine later, so you’ll learn the process in due time,” Su Binglan said.

Su Wenxian cupped his hands and said, “I’d like to thank you in advance, Cousin Binglan.”

“You don’t have to be so formal,” Su Binglan said,” I need you and Uncle Fengzhang to help me manage the winery, after all. I can only feel at ease if you two help me.”

“Don’t worry, Binglan. We’ll take good care of your winery,” Su Fengzhang said earnestly.

“Yeah, you don’t have to worry, especially since I’ve learned some martial arts,”

Su Wenxian added.

Su Binglan raised her brows. “You know martial arts too?”

“Yeah, but I’ve only learned a little,” Su Wenxian replied.

“If you want to learn kung fu, you can learn it alongside my third brother when you have the time,” Su Binglan said.

Su Wenwu wanted to learn kung fu from his sister, but Luo Jin’an did not want him to tire Su Binglan out. Hence, Luo Jin’an volunteered to teach Su Wenwu instead.

Since Su Wenwu had been learning from Luo Jin’an for quite some time, Su Binglan thought Su Wenxian could tag along. After all, it was good to learn self-defense.

Su Wenxian smiled. “I’ll take you up on that, Cousin Binglan. It feels good to have a reliable cousin. Not only do you know a lot, but you can also teach me many things.”

Ding Wan laughed. “Do you think all young ladies are like your cousin? Our

Binglan is brilliant and kind. That’ s why she’s helping us.”

“Of course, I know my Cousin Binglan is the best,” Su Wenxian replied, “Others will envy me if I tell them about this.”

Su Binglan chuckled. “Don’t say that, Cousin Wenxian. I’m about to blush.”

“Hahaha.” Everyone talked and laughed, making the atmosphere more lively and harmonious.

After talking for a while longer, Su Binglan noticed it was getting late and went home.

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua went home in their oxcart during the evening. Earlier that afternoon, Li Shi returned his parents to Northern Song Village and returned the oxcart to the Su couple.

Before leaving, he helped the Su couple load their oil barrels onto the oxcart. Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao barely needed to do anything. Indeed, Li Shi was strong.

Moreover, Li Shi tied the barrels securely so they would not spill when the older couple drove the oxcart home. Li Shi had initially planned to send the older couple home, but Shen Qiuhua persuaded him to tend to his parents instead.

After reaching home, the Su couple moved their oil barrels into the warehouse. When Su Binglan returned, she could smell the oils’ fragrance. It smelled like the older couple had fried the rapeseed and successfully extracted its oil. The fragrance differed from peanut oil..

Su Binglan could not help but sniff the air and exclaim, “That smells so good!” She had just eaten, but the oil smell made her want to eat more.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao had finished cooking. At this time, the whole family was sitting on the brick bed, peeling corn.

The weather was cold, and Shen Qiuhua tidied up the corn she did not have time to peel before placing them in the courtyard. She peeled the corn to harvest food at the mill.

Even though the autumn harvest had ended, and they entered the free season, the family still had many things to do. Still, they were not in a hurry, as the family could do these tasks whenever they had free time.

Shen Qiuhua heard footsteps and got down from the brick bed. “Binglan is home. I’ll get the food now so that we can have dinner.”

“Father, mother, haven’t you guys eaten yet?”

“We waited for you to eat together,” Shen Qiuhua replied. @@novelbin@@

“Didn’t second brother tell you I went to Aunt Ding’s house?” Su Binglan asked.

Shen Qiuhua opened the lid to the pot on the stove and said as she scooped the rice, “Your second brother did, but we were waiting for you to have dinner together.”

“I had dinner at Aunt Ding’s house.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengmao also got off the brick bed to help serve the food. He said, “Your mother knew your aunt would probably ask you to stay for dinner, but we’re just used to eating together.

“Your mother insisted on waiting for you before we ate. Even if you’ve already eaten, you can still eat a little more, right?”

The Su family had grown accustomed to chatting and having dinner together. They would feel uncomfortable if Su Binglan did not eat with them.

Su Binglan also helped to serve the food. “When I entered the courtyard, I smelled the oil’s fragrance and felt hungry again. Since you’ve waited for me to join you, I’ll eat more?’

When she mentioned the fragrance, Shen Qiuhua recalled what had happened today and told her daughter, “Everyone was so curious when your father and I went to Northern Song Village to get oil. Everyone was excited after we got our oil. I would say everyone was even more excited than us.

Su Fengmao added, “When we lined up, many people pulled your mother aside to discuss our village. It turns out that our family is famous. Even though

Northern Song Village is relatively far away, many people know about us.”

“Not exactly. The people from Northern Song Village barely knew about us,” Shen Qiuhua corrected her husband, “The two young women from Stone Village were the ones who told the others about us and our village.”

After setting the table, the family ate and talked in a circle. Su Binglan looked at her parents’ smiles and said, “You two woke up early this morning. Aren’t you tired?”

“No, I’m not tired. We had an oxcart to use and just needed to wait in line,” Shen Qiuhua answered.

Su Fengmao echoed, “Your mother is right. I’m not tired since I only had casual chats with people from other villages.”

As if she had thought of something, Shen Qiuhua said, “I heard about Li Shi’s story in Northern Song Village. Things weren’t easy for that kid, and I didn’t expect him to have endured all that suffering.”

Ads by Pubfuture She told Su Binglan everything she had heard about Li Shi’s upbringing in Northern Song Village.

Then Su Binglan recalled giving Li Shi’s parents a consultation in the afternoon. “Li Shi brought his parents for consultation this afternoon. I have known about his past since he told me about it. Still, I didn’t expect him to return to his hometown and forgive his parents.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed. “I pity him a lot, especially since he’s kind. His parents treated him so poorly, but he still cared for them. He’s such a dutiful son.”

Su Binglan thought about what had happened in the afternoon and said, “It seems like his parents have repented. They should know to treat Li Shi better now.”

She thought about it and wanted to ask Li Shi if he needed help. After all, Su Binglan was not stingy and would help him whenever possible.

Su Binglan put food in her husband’s bowl while eating. Then she looked at the quiet Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai before asking, “How were your meals at the academy?

Su Xuexuan said thoughtfully, “We ate very well, Aunt Binglan. Our classmates ate in the cafeteria too. Everyone says the food is cheap and delicious.”

Luo Jin’an explained softly, “Luo Kang and the others started cooking in the cafeteria at noon. They made many dishes, including rice, steamed buns, and pancakes.

“They were relatively cheap, and all the students could afford them. Everyone sat in the cafeteria and ate while chatting. The atmosphere was quite lively, and everyone is grateful to you.”

Su Binglan was surprised, “Grateful to me?

Luo Jin’an replied gently, “Luo Juan told everyone you set up the cafeteria so everyone could eat cheap and fresh food. That way, no one will faint from hunger again.”

Su Binglan did not expect the Blue Mountain Academy students to know she was the one who opened the cafeteria. She did not think Luo Juan would tell everyone about it.

Luo Jin’an smiled elegantly and said, “Luo Juan seems to like you very much. She keeps saying Miss Su this, Miss Su that. Now, everyone knows who Miss

Su is.”

Su Binglan touched her face in embarrassment. “I only wanted to do something nice while keeping a low profile.”

“Unfortunately, you can’t,” Shen Qiuhua said, “I realized that when your father and I went to get oil. I didn’t even know you and our village were so famous.”

After some thought, she continued, “I almost forgot that many people want to buy rapeseed from us. I can see how hard everyone’s lives are and want to use more rapeseed to produce more oil.

“You said that the oil yield from rapeseed is higher than peanuts, right? Many people wanted to buy rapeseed, but I didn’t have the nerve to reject them, so I told everyone that the rapeseed we brought was for oil extraction.

“I also told them to come to our village and look for me if they wanted to buy rapeseed. Now I want to ask you how much we should sell the rapeseeds for if we were to sell them.”

Su Binglan nodded. “You did well, Mother. It’ll be good for everyone if we can

popularize crops such as rapeseed. Let’s charge five copper coins per 500 grams of rapeseed. After all, we still have many rapeseeds in the warehouse.”

Shen Qiuhua heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter’s words. “All right, I’ll sell the rapeseeds at that price if someone comes and buys them.”

After eating, Su Binglan went to the warehouse and secretly removed some rapeseed from her pocket dimension. These rapeseeds had been in her pocket dimension for more than a day and had enhanced properties, so their oil yield would be higher.

With that, everyone could harvest more rapeseed if planted and harvested them.

Ding Wan woke up early the following day and went to the temporary embroidery shop to work. When Shi Cui arrived, Ding Wan had just moved the firewood to warm up the brick bed.

Shu Cui said excitedly, “Madam Ding, look at my hand!”

Her voice was loud and clear, startling Ding Wan, who had her head lowered while lighting the fire. “What’s the matter, Shi Cui?! What happened to your hand?!”

Shi Cui ran in and ecstatically showed her hand to Ding Wan.

Ding Wan looked at Shi Cui’s hand and immediately noticed that some cuts and bumps had already healed. Although Shi Cui’s hand was still slightly swollen, Ding Wan knew it was much better.

“Wow! Your hand looks much, much better, Shi Cui!”

Shi Cui nodded happily. “Yes, my hand is much better. I didn’t feel any pain when I woke up this morning. It didn’t affect my cooking since it hurt when I moved my hands.”

She was excited and arrived early to tell Ding Wan about her hand. She also wanted to express her gratitude to Ding Wan. “I must thank you, Madam Ding. My hand wouldn’t have recovered so quickly if you didn’t persuade me to go for the consultation.

“You gave me twenty coins, but I spent only five. I’ll return the 15 coins to you and pay you the remaining five when I get paid.” Su Cui was ecstatic but did not expect her hand to recover so quickly. The cracks and bumps had almost disappeared overnight.

She followed Su Binglan’s instructions and put the ointment on her hand before bed. When she woke up the following day and looked at her hand again, she felt it was magical.

Shi Cui was grateful to Su Binglan and Ding Wan. She would not have cared about her hand if not for Ding Wan. Her hand would have bumps and swell during autumn, but she felt thrilled now that her hand would no longer hurt.

“It’s good that your hand has recovered,” Ding Wan said, “Binglan’s medical skills are outstanding, so you will fully recover in a few days.”

“Yes, Miss Su said the same thing.” Since Shi Cui’s hand no longer hurt, she did her needlework in the morning easily.

At noon, Ding Wan told everyone to return home for lunch and continue working in the afternoon. After having lunch at noon, Ding Wan went to Miss He’s house.

Ding Wan did not visit Miss He at noon because she did not want to bother Miss He during lunchtime. If she visited Miss He during that time, Miss He would undoubtedly treat Ding Wan to a meal, which would make Ding Wan feel awkward.

Nonetheless, Ding Wan knew visiting Miss He after lunchtime would be better.

Miss He’s family had already finished eating when Ding Wan arrived. Miss He was sitting in the courtyard soaking and washing clothes when she saw Ding Wan.

Miss He stood up in surprise. “Madam Ding, is that you?

Ads by Pubfuture She did not understand why Ding Wan was visiting and wondered if something had happened.

Ding Wan said with a kind smile, “Miss He, I have something to tell you. Do you have time to talk now?

Miss He quickly wiped her hands and said, “Yes, I have time. Quick, come in, Madam Ding.”

Ding Wan said as she walked in. “Since it’s getting cold. I suggest washing your clothes in warm water.”

Miss He felt warm in her heart because she knew Ding Wan was concerned about her. “My husband got some water from the well, so it’s not too cold. My hands will be okay if I wash the clothes with water from the well.

“I used to be so weak that I wouldn’t even have the strength to wash clothes. I feel energized now and plan to wash the bed sheets and blankets I didn’t have time to wash.

“When it starts snowing soon, I won’t be able to stand outside. Since the sun still shines brightly at noon, it’ll be easier to dry my laundry.”

Ding Wan nodded. “You’re right. Although winter is just around the corner, the sun still shines brightly at noon.”

“Since the weather is good today, I decided to wash and dry my bed sheets and blanket,” Miss He added, and the two entered the house while talking.

“Aren’t your children home?” Ding Wan asked after noticing the quietness.

Miss He explained, “My husband took the kids to chop more firewood before winter arrives. Then we’ll have something to keep us warm when it snows.” “Yes, it’s good to gather more firewood now,” Ding Wan said.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Miss He, Ding Wan discovered how diligent this family was. In addition, their house was tidy.

Miss He poured a cup of warm water for Ding Wan, and Ding Wan sipped it. Ding Wan said, “Binglan is preparing to open an embroidery shop. Although the construction is still incomplete, she told me to find a few villagers who know needlework.”

Miss He got excited when she heard that and vaguely guessed why Ding Wan had visited. After all, when Miss He went to the clinic, Su Binglan asked her if she knew needlework.

Ads by Pubfuture Miss He said she knew needlework but did not think much of it. She did not expect Ding Wan to discuss the embroidery shop with her this afternoon.

She listened attentively, her eyes looking at Ding Wan unblinkingly.

Ding Wan did not beat around the bush and told Miss He about some of the embroidery shop’s matters.

“Miss He, would you like to work at the embroidery shop? You’ll get a basic salary of 60 coins monthly or two coins daily. Binglan will also give you a bonus according to how much work you do. The more you do, the more you’ll earn.”

“Binglan told me you know how to sew and told me to come and ask you about it. Binglan is kind and wants to help our villagers earn money to live better lives.”

Miss He was so excited and touched that she did not even know what to say. After some thought, her lips trembled as she said, ‘Yes, Madam Ding, I’d like to work for Miss Su. Even though I only know the basics, I’m willing to learn more and perform well.”

Miss He was too excited and directly expressed her thoughts. She also knew Su Binglan was a good person. After all, Miss He and her husband would not have recovered if it were not for Su Binglan. @@novelbin@@

Miss He did not know how to express her gratitude but knew she would do well and work hard for Su Binglan.

Miss He’s reaction did not surprise Ding Wan because everyone she recruited to work at the embroidery shop had the same reaction. Everyone was ecstatic because they knew it was an excellent opportunity for them to earn money.

Moreover, Miss He would be working in their village and could still have three meals daily with her family. She would not have been so depressed if she had had a job in the past.

Ding Wan told Miss He about the embroidery shop and initially wanted Miss He to start the following day. However, Miss He was so excited that she wanted to start in the afternoon to get a head start on learning. Miss He also said she could continue washing her clothes at night.

Since Miss He insisted, Ding Wan took her along.

Su Damin and the others were enthusiastic about Miss He’s arrival. Miss He had trouble performing at first, but Sun Damin and the others were helpful and assisted her.

Miss He initially felt restrained as she did not interact much with the villagers. However, after feeling their enthusiasm, she gradually relaxed and began talking to everyone.

She could not help but chuckle when she heard the others talking and laughing. The atmosphere was lively. She did not feel like she was working because everyone was doing something new and exciting. It did not feel like work to her.

Everyone went home one after another when the sun began to set in the evening.

Miss He could not wait to go home and share the good news with her family..

Lin Chai and his three sons returned almost simultaneously as Miss He. Lin Chai was curious when he got home and noticed his wife was not around. His neighbor was the one who told him about her whereabouts.

Miss He had told her neighbors that she would go to Ding Wan’s place with

Ding Wan. She also told the neighbors to notify her husband of her whereabouts.

Lin Chai was not in a hurry since he knew where Miss He had gone. He warmed up the rice and prepared to wash the remaining laundry in the courtyard.

His heart ached for his wife. He thought she should not do these things alone and always helped her whenever possible. He felt his wife should be able to relax when she returned.

When Miss He arrived home, she saw her husband washing the remaining laundry in the courtyard. The sun had begun setting, and the courtyard was still bright and rosy with its light.

Miss He’s heart felt warm as she looked at her husband washing the laundry. She approached him and said, “I’ll wash the clothes. Why didn’t you just rest when you came home?

Lin Chai was thrilled to see his wife return. He revealed an honest smile, saying, “It’s okay. I can wash the laundry too. Then you can feel more relaxed when you get home.”

“You’re such a fool.” Although she said this, she felt touched, reaching out to hug her husband as she continued, “I have good news.”

Ads by Pubfuture Lin Chai paused and looked at his wife, asking curiously, “What’s the good news? @@novelbin@@

He noticed how brightly his wife smiled, looking exceedingly delighted.

Miss He said smilingly, “Miss Su will be opening an embroidery shop, which Madam Ding will manage. Madam Ding visited when you went to chop firewood.

“She asked me if I wanted to work at the embroidery shop and that I would earn at least 60 coins monthly. Also, the more I work, the more I’ll earn, especially since there will be a bonus.

“I was shocked when I heard that. You don’t know how excited I was. Madam Ding told me to start tomorrow morning, but I insisted on going this afternoon. I feared they would change their mind and not hire me if I went late.

“It felt unreal until the afternoon. Now, you’ll no longer have to work so hard since our lives will improve. We’ll make a good earning monthly and can afford meat soon.”

During the past New Year’s, Lin Chai and his wife were reluctant to buy meat because they could not afford it. To them, it was good enough to eat their fill and not starve.

However, they could look forward to the New Year now. They could soon go to the town market and buy goods for the New Year celebration. Previously, the couple would never go to the market or buy things even when it was the year’s end.

Lin Chai was ecstatic when he heard his wife’s words. He said while holding his wife’s hand, “Don’t tire yourself out, okay?”

Although earning money was vital, he did not want his wife to exhaust herself.

“I won’t be since I’m just doing needlework. I also have Sun Dimun, Zhou Wen’e, and others to help me. They’re nice people and patient when teaching me.” Miss He excitedly told her husband everything that had happened in the afternoon.

Lin Chai sat there and listened attentively. A smile appeared on his face as he listened. “You’re the most capable person I know, dear.”

Ads by Pubfuture Miss He blushed after her husband praised her. “All you do is compliment me.”

Since Lin Chai could speak without stuttering, he would talk more with his wife. His words made his wife’s face blush red, but she liked hearing them.

“I’ll save up when I get my wages. When it’s almost New Year, we’ll take the children shopping in town to buy meat and noodles. We can make dumplings, too,” Miss He said.

“Remember to buy meat for your parents, too,” Lin Chai added. He knew his wife was worried about her parents, but the family’s conditions did not allow them to help Miss He’s parents.

However, it was a different story since Miss He would have a job soon. She could soon buy things for her parents.

Even now, Lin Chai was grateful to his in-laws for allowing him to marry Miss He. They did not despise Lin Chai for stuttering or that his family was poor. Miss He said, “My parents know you’re a good person because you cared for me even though I’ve been weak all those years.”

He was also grateful to Lin Chai because he did not mind if she was weak and could not work. He was even considerate of her and could not bear to let her overwork herself.

“Let’s not say such things,” Lin Chai said.

“Yes,” Miss He nodded and continued, “All right, let’s eat.”

She saw her three sons feeding the chicks and ducks and called them over. “Come and eat. Dinner is ready.”

“Mother, did you just say you’d work in an embroidery shop?”

“Yeah, our family will be able to eat better food soon when I earn money.”

“Is your body still weak?”

“No, it isn’t.”

Mrs. He was talking to her three sons while entering the house. She opened the pot lid and filled the bowls with rice while her sons hurried to help. Even her youngest son, only a few years old, stood on a stool to help.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were also busy that day. They had started to prepare earnestly after Su Binglan told them about opening a wine factory.

In the morning, Su Fengzhang and his son went to a house in Willow Village where a family made clay pots. It was the Tao family’s house.

When Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian arrived, a few people were already pressing Tao Zhenggang for payment. ‘You guys haven’t settled the bill for the pine trees you bought from us. When are you guys going to pay up?

The Tao family needed a unique pine wood to heat their clay in the furnace. Since pine trees were only on the back of the northern mountain, the villagers could not cut them down and could only buy them.

That was why Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li had bought pine wood. However, they still needed to pay for the batch of pine wood, and the creditors came asking for payment.

Tao Zhenggang and his wife, Miss Li, had used all their food to pay for the pinewood, but it was not enough.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian looked at Tao Zhenggangs house and noticed how old and run-down it was. The father-son duo was in disbelief. Su Fengzhang had been to Willow Village many years ago and remembered that the house did not look like that back then.

Tao Zhenggang and Madam Li almost kneeled and begged the creditors to give them more time. When the creditors finally left, the couple looked at the father-son duo in shock. They feared the two had also come to collect money.

“Zhenggang, we’re here to ask if you’re still making and selling pottery,” Su Fengzhang said.

Tao Zhenggang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the duo was not there to ask for money but to buy something. He said, “We can’t since we don’t have enough pine wood.

“Also, we couldn’t save much money even after all these years of selling our pottery. We don’t earn as much as selling crops in the village?’ He spoke dejectedly.

“What happened?” Su Fengzhang asked.

Tao Zhenggang did not know how to answer and could only sigh.

Miss Li wiped her tears and said sobbingly, “It’s all because we got fooled by others..”

Su Fengzhang and his son were dumbfounded. The duo wondered who would be so wicked and lie to honest people like the Taos.

“What happened, Zhenggang and Miss Li?” Su Fengzhang asked, “Who would do such a thing.”

“It’s no secret,” Miss Li cried, “Everyone in the village knows about it. Two years ago, a foreigner came here and said he wanted to order a set of pots. He even called Zhenggang ‘brother.’ He was very enthusiastic.

“Since we’re farmers, we didn’t have many thoughts. We only guessed he genuinely wanted our pots. He ordered many things, which was a good business opportunity for us.

“The man said his two sons were of marriable age, and he wanted to earn more. I was concerned that the man was a scammer, but he had paid a considerable deposit.

“However, it was heavily raining when he picked up his pots. The man said he was in a hurry and had forgotten to bring his silver. Ultimately, he left a jade pendant here, saying it was his mother’s heirloom and would return with the money he owed us.

“When we went to town to eat and then go to the pawn shop after, the staff said the jade pendant was of the highest quality and was worth a few thousand silver taels.

“We didn’t overthink it and thought the man would return with the money he owed us since the jade pendant was so expensive. We never expected him not to return even after two years had passed,” Miss Li concluded.

Tao Zhenggang added, “We had no choice but to sell the pendant, but the pawnshop manager told us that the pendant was fake. We wondered how it would be fake when the staff had told us it was worth more than a thousand silver taels.

“After all, we presented the same pendant to the manager. The staff member may have fooled us, but we heard that the pawnshop had an outstanding reputation, so we dared not ask further.”

Miss Li began to cry as she echoed, “We made those pots with our own money.”

Su Wenxian said, “We know the pawnshop in town is reputable since the Xu family supports them. The Xu family always keeps their promises when doing business with us.

“Maybe there are two identical pendants, and someone exchanged the original with a fake. The staff wanted to swindle you from the start.” He knew what the pawnshop staff was plotting.

Ads by Pubfuture That was because Su Wenxian often brought his mother for treatments alongside his father and had witnessed many things. Hence, he could guess these things at a glance.

Tao Zhenggang’s eyes reddened when he heard that, but he held back his tears. Still, Miss Li cried her eyes out. Both her sons had to work at the dock with the family’s current situation. They worked very hard but barely earned even a few copper coins.

“What do we do now?” Miss Li asked.

Su Fengzhang and his son listened on the sidelines, feeling the depressing atmosphere. Su Fengzhang felt like he could not breathe, as it made him think of how his family used to be.

If not for his three brothers, he would not have survived and probably live in despair. He collected himself and said, “Zhenggang, we’re sincere in buying clay pots from you.”

Miss Li waved as she did not want to make clay pots anymore. “We no longer make clay pots.”

Su Fengzhang became a little anxious when he heard this. Still, he wanted to help them. He and his son could go to the neighboring village to buy clay pots, but it would be a long journey.

However, he could help the Taos if he did business with them. After all, it would also be a win-win situation.

Su Wenxian noticed his father’s anxious expression and said to Tao

Zhenggang, “Mr. Zhenggang, we’re from the Su family of Su Teng Village. We won’t deceive you. My father and I will open a shop soon and need clay pots and jars. @@novelbin@@

“It’ll be the same if we bought them from other places or yours. Still, we know you’re good people, so we decided to do business with you instead.”

Miss Li was still crying but stood up eagerly when she heard that. “What did you say? You’re from the Su family of Su Teng Village?!”

She instantly stopped crying and wiped her tears as she stared at Su Wenxian and Su Fengzhang.

Su Wenxian nodded and answered thoughtfully, “Yes, we’re from the Su family. My name is Su Wenxian, and this is my father, Su Fengzhang.”

“The Su family?” Miss Li murmured, exaggerating ‘the.’

Ads by Pubfuture She asked Su Wenxian, “Is Miss Su your relative?

Su Wenxian nodded. “Yeah, she’s my second uncle’s biological daughter.”

Miss Li’s eyes, full of despair, suddenly brightened. “We know the Su family, especially Miss Su. She’s a kind person who helps others. She’s also Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law, and Liu Yinyin is from our village. Miss Su healed Liu Chengwen

when he got bitten by a venomous snake once!”

The people from Willow Village were tight-knit, so they knew about almost everything that happened there. Of course, their neighboring village, Su Teng Village, had become popular because it had drastically improved.

The Willow villagers usually discussed topics concerning Su Teng Village whenever they had free time. Moreover, Su Fengchen typically went to Willow Village to buy duck and chicken eggs.

The Willow villagers benefited from the Su family and did not have to worry about selling their chickens, ducks, and eggs.

Miss Li had seen Su Fengchen around the village, too. She had raised ducks and chickens and sold eggs to Su Fengchen. She knew he was a polite and soft-spoken young man. She knew that because he had bought their eggs so their family could earn money.

Miss Li observed Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian from top to bottom. “You look just like that young man.”

Su Fengzhang touched his face and said, “Miss Li, you’re talking about my little brother, Su Fengchen, right? My parents also said we’re similar-looking.”

Miss Li exclaimed, “Yes, that’s him! He came to our village to buy eggs, but that was long ago because other people now come to buy them for him. Still,

I’ve seen Su Fengchen before.”

Su Fengzhang said, “So, please believe we’re not scammers, Miss Li. We can find others in the neighboring villages to help, but we’d instead work with you. My niece is the one who is setting up a business and needs your clay pots and jars.

“She is kind and feels it doesn’t matter if she buys them from other places or here. She just wants to help the people around her.”

Miss Li finally relaxed a little. “Please, sit while I get you two some water.”

Meanwhile, Tao Zhenggang was dazed. ‘How did we get the Su family interested in our past business?

The Su family was no strangers to the couple. Even everyone in Willow Village knew about the changes in Su Teng Village and that the Su family was the main reason behind them. It was all because the Su family had a blessed girl like Su Binglan.

Tao Zhenggang returned to his senses and asked, “You’re sincerely here to buy our clay pots and jars?

“Let’s understand the situation first,” Su Fengzhang said, “We’ll have to return and discuss the specifics with my niece. My niece is the Miss Su you’ve heard about, so I don’t need to say much about her.”

‘Everyone knows Miss Su is a remarkable person,” Tao Zhenggang nodded.

“Her tofu factory has helped many Su Teng Villagers since she pays them well.

I heard she’s still building another shop and will hire people in the future.”

Su Fengzhang could not help but feel proud to be a Su family member whenever he heard others talk about his niece.

Whenever someone mentioned the Su family in the past, the other villagers would not know them. However, the Su family had become a household name in the surrounding villages.

Su Fengzhang knew they had become well-known because of his niece.

Miss Li returned with some water for Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian to drink. She was very respectful toward the father-son duo. “We never dreamed the Su family members would come here to buy our clay pots and jars. We feel assured doing business with your family.

“Frankly, we need more money to buy pine wood now, but as you can see, we have to settle our precious debts before we can do that. You might have to wait while we think of a way to buy pine wood and restart our pottery business.”

Ads by Pubfuture Previously, Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li no longer wanted to continue their pottery business. However, since the Su family was interested, the couple planned to restart their business to work with the Su family.

‘When everyone learns that we work with the Su family, our lives will improve.’

Miss Li became excited and wished she could immediately make clay pots and jars. Still, those things were cumbersome to make since they required special soil and pine wood.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian sat there for a while to understand the situation. They said they would discuss the specifics with Su Binglan when

they returned to Su Teng Village.

Tao Zhenggang and his wife regained hope after listening to Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian. The couple was enthusiastic toward the father-son duo instead of sighing and crying. The couple’s eyes seemed to radiate with light.

The couple wanted to send Su Fengzhang and his son off but chatted at the door instead.

The couple was nervous and wondered if Su Binglan would intend to cooperate with them if they could not make clay pots and jars with their current debt.

After all, other people in neighboring villages also sold pottery.

After a while, the couple finally went back into their home.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian had heavy hearts on their way home. They felt terrible seeing the older couple like that.

“Liars are despicable,” Su Wenxian said.

Ads by Pubfuture “That person probably knew the Taos was honest yet gullible,” Su Fengzhang added, “That’s why the person deliberately placed his order and ran off. It was like he got his order for free.

“The Taos is also simple-minded farmers who barely interact with people. No one expected such a terrible person to do that to them,” Su Fengzhang reminded his son, “You must also be wary of these people when our family’s business expands.”

“I understand, Father. I’ll be more vigilant.”

The duo discovered that Su Binglan was home in the afternoon and discussed things with her. The duo would not treat Su Binglan as a child since she was the most capable person they knew.

Su Binglan’ s expression turned frigid. “How could that happen?

“Yeah,” Su Wenxian said, “The Taos looked rather pitiful, but that had happened long ago, and no one knows where that scammer originated. He’s probably using a fake name, too.”

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “I’m sure the jade is the same as the previous one.”

“Tao Zhenggang also said the same thing,” Su Wenxian said, “I’m guessing someone had replaced the jade pendant with a fake.”

Su Binglan tapped her finger on the table, saying, “Although that person has escaped, it doesn’t mean we can’t search for him.”

Su Wenxian looked at his cousin with admiration when he heard that. “Do you have a way to find that person, Cousin Binglan? It would be amazing if we could.”

He felt his younger sister’s power. ‘There’s nothing she can’t do.’

Even Su Fengzhang was shocked. ‘My niece is just as my wife had said. Binglan is no ordinary person. I wonder if she’s immortal. Still, Su Binglan is a Su family member, no matter what.’

He asked curiously, “Binglan, that person probably didn’t leave any trails behind, so how do we find him?”

“The jade pendant is the key, and there should be a wanted poster of that person,” Su Binglan said.

Su Fengzhang was puzzled. “A poster? There’s none.”

“Let’s make a trip to Willow Village,” Su Binglan said.

Su Fengzhang and his son could not help but follow Su Binglan to Willow Village. The duo had a strange feeling in their hearts as they followed suit. They felt Su Binglan’s convincing words and instinctively listened to her.

When the trio arrived at Willow Village, the older couple was still trying to think of a solution while having a simple lunch of coarse-grain pancakes and scallions. The older couple barely even had wild vegetables at home.

Miss Li said, still thinking of a solution, “Miss Su is an extraordinary person, so not just anyone can do business with her.”

“The most crucial thing for us is making clay pots and jars again. It’ll all be pointless if we can’t make those again,” Tao Zhenggang sighed, “It’s all my fault for believing that person. None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for that. Still, we couldn’t have expected it to happen to us.” @@novelbin@@

Miss Li said, “That’s why you’ve learned your lesson. Let’s avoid doing business with unfamiliar people in the future. After all, we don’t know them or what they do.

“Even if we restart our business, we’ll only deal with people we know. Nonetheless, we won’t have to worry if we cooperate with Miss Su. I wonder how Miss Su’s tofu factory does business with foreigners. They’re doing well with no issues,” Miss Li could ramble on whenever she discussed Su Teng Village.

“You do know a lot,” Tao Zhenggang said, “Many of our villagers want to work in Miss Su’s factory, but she only hires women from Su Teng Village.”

Su Binglan arrived as the couple talked. Su Fengzhang said, “Zhenggang, Miss

Li, this is my niece, Su Binglan. She’s here to discuss some matters with you.”

Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li looked toward the door in a daze. The couple was astounded when they saw the real Miss Su.

‘Is that Miss Su?!’

‘She came here personally?’

“Mr. Zhenggang, Miss Li, I’m here to discuss business with you..”
