Miss Li and Tao Zhenggang intended to save the money Su Binglan had given them for the pottery workshop, as it was for their starting capital. The Taos also had to remember their debts and could not forget their roots when their days improved in the future.
Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong felt energetic today and carried their things on their shoulders. The brothers would feel tired if they had to carry other things and walk a few miles home, but they were okay with carrying their necessities.
The Taos had also not eaten meat for a long time, and the thought of it made the two brothers hungry.
Miss Li bought more meat that day, like streaky pork and ribs. She planned to give her sons nourishment when they got home.
On their way home, the Taos naturally had to pass the west side of town. Miss Li looked around the bustling streets, and what she saw surprised her even more. “This street used to be so empty. Why are there so many people here now? They’ve even opened shops here.”
She looked at the shops on the side of the street and was somewhat puzzled. Meanwhile, Tao Eryong smelled the fragrance and said, “Father, Mother, this should be the new Food Street. We can have haggis soup, sesame buns, duck blood vermicelli, barbecue lamb skewers, and even hotpot here.”
He spoke as if he was counting family treasures.
Tao Zhenggang asked, “How do you know so much about this place, Eryong?”
Tao Eryong answered, “I heard it from the people working at the docks. They told me a lot, so I remember it all.”
Finally, Miss Li understood what was happening. “No wonder it smells so good here.”
Ads by Pubfuture She looked at Su’s Haggis Soup and stopped briefly before saying, “I wonder how much the food here costs. I’m sure it’s expensive, right?”
Of course, Tao Dayong knew what the prices were like here. Still, even a few copper coins were a lot for the Taos. After all, the two brothers worked hard day and night moving goods and earned only a few coins.
Although the family now had more money, they could not spend it thoughtlessly.
“Father, Mother, we already bought so many things. We should cook and eat at home,” Tao Dayong said.
Tao Eryong smelled the wafting fragrance and started drooling, but he nodded and said, “Big Brother is right. It’s already noon, and I’m a little tired. Let’s go home.”
“All right, let’s go,” Miss Li said, relieved.
She was considering trying the food there just now. She would gladly oblige if her sons said they would want to try some. However, spending the starting capital trying new food would make Miss Li uneasy.
Miss Li sighed in relief when she heard her two sons agreeing to go home instead. After all, it was already noon.
Since it was almost noon, many people would have lunch and rest at home. Some had just started cooking and were collecting firewood when they saw Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li.
Everyone was surprised when they noticed the things the two brothers carried. A woman asked, despite herself, “Miss Li, did you take your boys to the town market just now?”
Miss Li smiled. “Yes, I took them to buy some things just now. Since they’ve suffered so much for my husband and me, I wanted to repay my two boys by nourishing them.
The woman sighed. “It hasn’t been easy for your sons, so you must nourish them. Their health is most vital. They’ve lost so much weight, Miss Li.”
Ads by Pubfuture Miss Li’s heart ached when she saw how thin her two sons were. However, the woman was puzzled as everyone in the village knew about the Taos’ situation. They wondered how the Taos could afford to buy so many things now.
Others wanted to ask a few more questions but were too embarrassed.
Miss Li thought she would tell the villagers the truth if they asked, but she said nothing since they were too shy to ask.
After getting home, Miss Li told her husband, “Let’s tidy up the pottery workshop in the afternoon and officially start work tomorrow.” Tao Zhenggang nodded. “Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too.”
“Let’s do that together,” Tao Dayong added.
“Of course we will.”
After getting home, Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong did not laze around and helped their parents split firewood instead. Soon after, Tao Zhenggang started the fire, and his wife started cooking.
Miss Li planned to make noodles with pork ribs for lunch. Pure white rice and pork ribs were excellent foods for farmers. However, most were reluctant to buy pork ribs, even during the New Year, because of their high price.
This time, Miss Li bought the pork ribs with great determination, even though she was only willing to buy such things once in a blue moon. Right now, she only wanted to give her sons some nourishment.
She had also bought pork meat, which she roasted until she could extract its oil to add to the pork ribs and noodle dish.
Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong were chopping firewood in the courtyard when they smelled the fragrance and got hungry. Tao Dayong gulped and continued chopping firewood, but his younger brother sniffed the air, saying, “That smells great, Big Brother! I’m getting so hungry.”
Still, Tao Dayong continued chopping the firewood to distract himself. “We’ll be eating soon, so hurry up and chop the firewood, okay?”

“All right, Big Brother. Mother said she would make meat dumplings for us tonight, too.”
The two brothers had only heard of dumplings but had never eaten or had any at home.
“I wonder if Mother knows how to make them.’
“Mother learned it from Mrs. Liu before. She knows how to make them,” Tao Dayong said.
“I want to learn, too. Then I can help Mother cook next time.”
“But you learn fast and cook well, Big Brother,” Tao Eryong said while chopping firewood.
‘That’s mainly because Big Brother’s ex-wife was still around. She was lazy, but Big Brother loved her, so he did all the housework.
‘Big Brother did whatever his ex-wife told him so that mother couldn’t say anything bad about her. Still, Mother didn’t make things difficult for his ex-wife for Big Brother’s sake.’
Tao Dayong’s ex-wife was so lazy that she did not do anything. She would not even feed the chickens.
When Miss Li finished cooking, she gave her two sons large bowls of noodles each. “Eat as much as you want. There’s still more in the pot. Here are some pork ribs that go well with the noodles.”
Although her pork ribs dish was straightforward with just a little salt, Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong enjoyed every bite. Initially, the two brothers were reluctant to eat the pork ribs, so they offered them to their parents while they just ate the noodles.
Just having the noodles and soup was enough to satisfy the two brothers.
However, Tao Zhenggang and his wife were even more reluctant. They left all the good food for their sons to eat.
The whole family was reluctant to eat, but Miss Li took the initiative to place the pork ribs in her sons’ bowls. Only then were the two boys willing to eat. Of course, Tao Dayong also offered his parents some pork ribs.
The family had a satisfyingly delicious lunch, and their faces revealed long-lost smiles. @@novelbin@@
After lunch, Su Binglan carried her basket to the back of the mountain to collect more rapeseed.
Strangely enough, others would easily get lost whenever they entered the back of the mountain and could never find things like rapeseed. However, Su Binglan could always find whatever she wanted there..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan remembered where the rapeseeds were, so she entered the mountain and headed in that direction. She smiled when she saw the vast rapeseed field and began to pick them.
She mainly put the rapeseed in her pocket because the basket she brought was insufficient. Moreover, the rapeseed would improve and overgrow when she put them in her pocket dimension, and their oil yield would be much higher.
While she busied herself at the back of the mountain, her first granduncle gathered the villagers. The village quickly gathered since Chief Su had told them to. After all, he had a lot of prestige in the village.
Everyone wondered if he had something important to say. Otherwise, he would not have told them to gather so suddenly.
A small square in the village was the village’s wheat field. The villagers typically sundried their wheat, piled their wheat straws and split their rice in the village’s wheat field.
Even now, many haystacks piled up in the wheat field, and each house’s haystacks were apparent. The village would sometimes go to the field to get hay whenever they needed something to burn for a fire.
The children would also go to the field to play on regular days. They would sometimes play hide-and-seek, and some would hide in the haystacks.
The villagers gathered on the wheat field at that moment. Every household arranged for one person to listen to Chief Su’s announcement.
However, Chief Su also sent someone to inform those who could not make it. He ensured everyone in the village would hear what he said.
Everyone naturally chatted with each other as they ran over. “Why did Chief Su want us to gather?”
Ads by Pubfuture “It must be something important. We’ll know once Chief Su announces it.”
“I hope it’s something good. After all, Chief Su has helped everyone a lot as the village Chief. He always considers everyone whenever he has good news to share.”
“You’re right. Let’s go and take a look.”
When everyone gathered, Chief Su stood before them and said, “I have something to tell you all. Look at these rapeseeds.”
Everyone was invigorated when they heard that. It meant that Chief Su had announced something good.
“I heard about rapeseed this morning when a few people from neighboring villages visited ours. I think they bought the rapeseeds from Miss Su. The visitors looked ecstatic,” said Wang Yao.
“Yeah, I know about those, too, and even went to look for Miss Su. She said she told Chief Su to notify us about rapeseed. They can sell us the rapeseed if we need them.”
“Since it’s something Miss Su discovered, it must be good.”
“Is it a dish we can eat?”
Some discussed in hushed tones before continuing to listen to Chief Su. He explained, “You can plant 500 grams of rapeseed in one acre of land. One acre can produce a lot of rapeseed, which you can use to extract oil.”
The villagers were in an uproar when he said that.
“What? Can we produce more oil if we harvest so much rapeseed with just one acre of land?”
“That’s a higher yield than peanut oil.”
Ads by Pubfuture “I never knew such a thing existed.”
“If it’s that good, we won’t run out of oil in the future.”
“Yeah, but we don’t have rapeseeds. Should we buy them?”
“Can it truly produce that much oil?”
“Everyone knows Chief Su well enough that he wouldn’t lie to us.”
The villagers chattered back and forth, causing the atmosphere to become lively. Chief Su knew everyone’s doubts and waved before saying, “Don’t worry, everyone. Listen to what I have to say first.
“You can also plant rapeseeds during winter and harvest them in spring, which you can then use as a vegetable for cooking. Furthermore, you can use the rest for oil extraction.
He relayed what Su Binglan had told him to everyone in detail. The villagers were ecstatic when they heard Chief Su’s explanation.
“Five coins per 500 grams is very affordable.”
“That’s right. Plus, we can plant rapeseed during winter, which won’t occupy our land when we need to plant crops.”
“I’m free anyway since the autumn harvest ended a while ago. I can sell the oil I get for money if I plant rapeseed.”
“Chief Su and his grandniece are such kind people. They always consider everyone’s situation. We can borrow and return the rapeseeds after harvesting them when spring comes.”
Everyone excitedly discussed these things and wanted to buy rapeseed. Chief Su chuckled when he saw everyone’s expression. He knew the villagers would buy rapeseeds since it was a good thing.
He jotted down how much each family wanted and told everyone to return home to await the good news. After all, Su Binglan would only return in the evening.
When she returned, she hurriedly put the rapeseeds from her pocket dimension into the family’s warehouse.
Su Wenxiu heard the commotion and rushed over. “When did you get back, Little Sister?”
Su Binglan turned around when she heard her second brother’s voice and saw three people behind him. They were around the age of ten. The trio respectfully greeted her, “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan looked at the trio and nodded smilingly. Then she asked Su Wenxiu, “Are these the apprentices you accepted, Second Brother?”
“That’s right,” Su Wenxiu answered, “That’s Lin Shu, this is Su Shi, and that one over there is Wang Dashan. Anyway, I saw you here and heard about what happened this afternoon.
“First Granduncle Su gathered the villagers and asked them how many rapeseeds they needed. Then he came over after jotting down their orders, but you weren’t home, so he gave me the paper for the statistics. Take a look, Little
Sister.”
“Oh, do you need my help sorting these rapeseeds?” Su Wenxiu had brought his three apprentices to help his sister.
Su Binglan nodded. “I’ll need your help later.”
She looked at the paper as she spoke and noticed that almost every family wanted two to three pounds of rapeseeds. Fortunately, she had gathered enough from the back of the mountain.
“Pack these up first, and I’ll let Granduncle Su distribute them to the villagers tomorrow,” Su Binglan said.
Su Wenxiu nodded and started to help alongside his three apprentices.
Su Binglan looked at one of the apprentices and thought he was familiar. She asked, “Which family is Lin Shu from, Second Brother?”
Su Wenxiu replied, “Oh, he’s Lin Chai’s eldest son.”
Su Binglan finally realized why Lin Shu looked so familiar as he was Lin Chai and Miss He’s eldest son.
“Miss Su, my parents say that you’re our family’s benefactor,” Lin Shu said shyly, “I want to learn medical skills from my master and help people.” When Lin Shu was a child, he knew his mother was weak, and his father stuttered. He wanted his mother to be in better health and his father to stop stuttering, but he never had the means or ability to help them. @@novelbin@@
He had always wanted to study medicine, but his family never had the means to allow it. He did not expect to be able to study medicine finally and was ecstatic. His parents were thrilled, too..

Li Shu could not stop smiling whenever he thought of his parents. After all, his parents were well, and his mother had started work doing embroidery while he learned medicine.
His parents were thrilled, and the house would be full of laughter whenever the family ate together. Lin Shu enjoyed the lively atmosphere at home. Therefore, he wanted to study and work hard.
He knew how terrible things were for his family when his mother was in poor health and that studying medicine would help him help others like his parents. He had profound feelings about this.
His father could not speak well and was unwilling to do so in the past, while his mother’s body was weak, and she could not do many things, not to mention
He also feared that his mother would suddenly faint or worse. However, he was no longer afraid now that his parents were well.
Su Binglan was slightly surprised and looked at Lin Shu encouragingly, “It’s good that you have that mentality and ideals.”
“These three have the same mentality,” Su Wenxiu added, “That’s why I took them in before anyone else.”
Su Binglan nodded while her second brother and the trio helped her pack the rapeseeds in bags with names written on them. That way, it would be easier for Chief Su to distribute the rapeseed to the villagers the following day.
Chief Su gathered the villagers the next day and distributed the rapeseed. He also gave the money to Su Binglan afterward. Soon after, he explained the planting method to the villagers.
Someone brought their rapeseed home and immediately started planting them. The initially cold and empty fields began to become lively again. Every family was busy planting rapeseeds on their land, just like during spring.
Ads by Pubfuture Since the autumn harvest had ended, everyone’s lands were empty. Typically, the villagers would not re-cultivate again until the beginning of spring. Therefore, if someone were to look at the fields in Su Teng Village now and see its villagers busy farming, they would think it was spring again.
Nonetheless, the villagers busied themselves with smiles on their faces. Some even chatted with their neighbors while resting.
“I think it’s spring whenever I look in the distance.”
“Yeah, we usually only start planting at the beginning of spring. Still, I wonder how the rapeseeds taste.”
“Crops would freeze and die during winter, but I never expected to be able to plant rapeseeds at this time.”
“Do you guys think we can really grow rapeseeds when winter soon arrives?”
“Let’s see how it goes. Our lands are vacant anyway. Even if it’s for nothing, it won’t affect our crop planting during next year’s spring.” @@novelbin@@
“You’re right.”
Meanwhile, Yao Cuihua also helped her family with farming. It was still a little early for her to go home after her morning shift. However, she followed her family to the fields in the afternoon.
Yao Cuihua’s mother-in-law could not stop smiling. “Cuihua, it’s so good that you’re working at the tofu factory and still helping with the housework.”
Yao Cuihua said as she busied herself, “Yes, Mother-in-law. I can still help out at home, even when I’m busy.
Her mother-in-law watched as she planted the rapeseeds in the ground. Then Yao Cuihua’s husband carried a bucket of water and used a ladle to scoop some water onto the seeds.
Ads by Pubfuture Yao Cuihua’s sisters-in-law were also busy. Everyone was diligent and wanted to eat raDeseed during the sDrinz or use them to get oil.
After busying herself at home for a few days, Su Binglan went to town. She had planned to set up a shop east of town and had already started the renovation.
When she arrived, she saw that the construction team had almost completed the renovations. After the team packed their things, she could finally open her shop.
The shop’s main entrance remained closed during renovation, so Su Binglan entered through the back door. When she came out, she saw a few people standing at the main entrance, wanting to stick their heads in for a peek.
“I wonder when the hotpot restaurant will open.”
“Yeah, it’s been a few days, but the building is still incomplete.”
“They should open for business once the renovation is complete. Then we no longer have to go to the west to eat hotpot.”
“I always feel warm after eating hotpot in this cold weather.”
Su Binglan heard their conversation and smiled. She carried her basket and looked around the market to see what she needed to buy. Sometimes, she would have new business ideas after going to the market.
After walking around for a while, she realized she had forgotten about starting a stinky tofu business.
‘I should tell Mother to start making stinky tofu at the factory.’
Immediately after, Su Binglan went to the dessert shop. She had planned to look for Li Shi and ask about his family’s situation. She wanted to know if they needed any help.
When Su Binglan arrived, Li Shi and Lin Zheng were busy because there were so many customers at the shop. Everyone was buying desserts, especially egg yolk mooncakes and ham pastries.
Li Shi collected and recorded the money, while Lin Zheng entertained the customers by bringing them their desserts and buns.
Lin Zheng’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Binglan, “Master, you’re here!”
Su Binglan smiled and waved. “Continue with your work. I’ll go around and check on things.”
At that moment, Li Shi also saw Su Binglan, “Boss!”
His voice was louder than usual when he called out to her. He also had a faint smile on his face.
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows as she could feel how different Li Shi was from before. He rarely laughed and always hid his thoughts in the past. He would also lower his head and speak softly.
However, he now spoke with his head held high and chest out. His voice also sounded more enthusiastic. He was much better than before.
Su Binglan asked naturally, “How are your parents these days?”
“Boss, my mother is full of strength now and can see much clearer thanks to your prescribed medicine! My father can also feel his body improving, especially since he’s much more robust and willing to eat.” Li Shi felt indescribable happiness as he spoke.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were delighted now that they were in good health, had more strength, and loved to eat. Mrs. Li no longer had trouble breathing whenever she walked and worked in the fields, looking much better than ever.
Of course, Li Shi’s brothers’ families no longer dared to provoke Li Shi now, as they knew he practiced kung fu. Because of that, Mr. and Mrs. Li could finally have a good night’s sleep.
Su Binglan nodded, “That’s great, Li Shi.”
“Boss,” Li Shi said earnestly, “My brothers’ families no longer bother us, thanks to the kung fu you’ve taught me. Otherwise, I couldn’t have protected my parents. ”
Su Binglan said, “It’s because you’re good at kung fu. It would’ve been pointless if I had taught you, but you didn’t practice. Besides, you’ve grown and strengthened your bones.
“It’s tough to practice martial arts, but it’s because you can endure the hardships and learn real kung fu.”
Li Shi scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, “I-I didn’t know the uses of learning kung fu before, but now I know it’s good to learn things from you, Boss.”
His youngest sister-in-law had previously brought her brothers to harass and bully Mr. and Mrs. Li. The older couple and Li Shi would have gotten beat up if Li Shi did not know kung fu..

Li Shi’s hear was full of gratitude toward Su Binglan.
“I’m relieved to see you like this,” Su Binglan said, “Your parents are okay and will be better after more rest. Don’t worry about them too much, okay?”
Li Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his boss’s words. He could choose not to believe the words of others, but he would believe his boss without question.
“So, the misunderstanding between you and your parents has been resolved?” Su Binglan asked.
Li Shi replied, “I only wanted to go to Northern Song Village to check on my parents that day, but…”
He told Su Binglan everything that happened that day, and Su Binglan finally understood what was going on. She sighed. “If your parents treat you well, you can feel like their boy again.”
Li Shi could feel his parents’ love for him. Perhaps he felt more at home with them now, and Su Binglan could understand how he felt. @@novelbin@@
Previously, Li Shi did not have a place to go when the dessert shop closed for the night and could only rest in the dormitory in the shop’s backyard.
“So you’ve been walking back and forth every day?” Su Binglan asked. She knew how far Northern Song Village was from Teng He Town, and Li Shi had to walk several hours a day to get to work and back home.
He said softly, “I don’t feel like it’s too far, Boss. I’m not afraid and can sleep peacefully with my parents by my side. When I was a child, I feared they would beat me up, but everything has changed now. I’ve forgiven tem, and they’ve started treating me much better.”
He wanted to say something else to Su Binglan but hesitated.
However, Su Binglan saw Li Shi’s expression and immediately understood his thoughts. She said, “You can say whatever you want in front of me.”
Li Shi mustered his courage and finally spoke, “B-Boss? I think I want to settle down in Su Teng Village. I’ve been saving the salary and bonuses you’ve paid me every month to buy a piece of land and build a house there.
Ads by Pubfuture “I know Su Teng Village is a good place, and I no longer want to stay in Northern Song Village. I asked around and heard I have to go through the village chief if I want to live in Su Teng Village. However, what my parents did in the past might not allow it.”
Li Shi hesitated and wondered whether or not he should tell his boss these things because he did not want to trouble her.
Still, Su Binglan was not surprised when she heard that. After all, she knew what Li Shi had been through. He was a good and dutiful person who could let go of the past, but Su Binglan still had to consider his words.
After some thought, she said, “You can come and live in Su Teng Village, but the land you buy and the house you build can only belong to you. Your parents will only live there in retirement.”
Her words helped Li Shi solve many of his unanswered questions. If the land and house belonged to Li Shi, his parents would have to rely on him for a living.
Mr. and Mrs. Li also had to treat Li Shi well if they wanted to live the rest of their lives in Su Teng Village. Even Li Shi’s brothers could not do anything to disturb Li Shi.
Nonetheless, Li Shi was clever and understood what Su Binglan meant. He said with misty eyes, “Thank you, Boss!”
“I’ll arrange everything for you. You don’t have to worry. Su Teng Village still has available land that won’t cost much for you to build your house. You can borrow money from me if you don’t have enough. I’ll just deduct it from your salary or bonus later.”
Li Shi barely spent the money he had previously earned and felt he had enough. “I have enough, Boss. My parents also have one acre of land that’s very fertile and worth one to two silver taels, which I plan to sell.”
“It’s good that you can plan for yourself. Keep doing that in the future, understand?”
“Yes, Boss.”
Su Wenxiu also went to town over the last few days to learn at Hundred Herbs Hospital. Doctor Wu knew Su Wenxiu was growing herbs at home and learned from Su Binglan.
After hearing things about Su Teng Village, Doctor Wu also discovered that Su Binglan provided medical services. He admired Su Binglan and thought she was a genuinely kind-hearted doctor.
He also wanted to follow her example but could not. On the one hand, Hundred Herbs Hospital belonged to the Wu family, and he had no say. On the other, it was also because they purchased the medicinal herbs for Hundred Herbs Hospital.
Doctor Wu was shocked when he saw the notes Su Wenxiu held. He asked the young man, “You memorized all this?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenxiu nodded. “Yeah, I was around when my sister gave prescriptions, so I noted everything down.”
Su Wenxiu’s memory was excellent; he could remember everything in detail. The more Doctor Wu looked at the notes, the more excited he became. “That’s wonderful! I didn’t know you could write prescriptions like this. Your sister is indeed a divine doctor, Wenxiu.
“How did she cure such an illness so quickly? Her prescriptions for this symptom are so bold and clever. Also, this…”
He read Su Wenxiu’s notes with great interest, holding the book like he was drunk with excitement.
Su Wenxiu had never seen Doctor Wu like this and wondered how he should tell Doctor Wu to return the notes to him after reading them.
Su Wenxiu used his notes daily to consolidate and organize new books for his apprentices to read. Just as he was in deep thought, a young married woman entered Hundred Herbs Hospital with her servant.
“Get out of the way!” The servant girl said rudely, “You bumped into my young madam. You must pay for it!” The servant girl was highly unruly.
“Miss, we were in line first.’
There were two physicians in the hundred herb Hall. Doctor Wu was inside, and the other physician was outside.
“My young madam has an emergency! Don’t you know who she is?!” The servant girl said while Wang Siman looked at the clothes the people before her wore judgingly with disdain.
Then she saw Su Wenxiu, and he looked back at her.
Su Wenxiu’s face turned pale when he saw Wang Siman. He was no stranger to this person, who had almost become his wife.
Wang Siman looked Su Wenxiu up and down, then walked over and said lowly, “Su Wenxiu, I’m warning you. There’s nothing between us anymore. Even if you knew I was here, getting in my way is pointless.
“Why don’t you take a look at yourself? If you’re sensible, you should leave quickly. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”
Su Wenxiu listened to Wang Siman’s sarcastic and humiliating words. He immediately thought of what had happened more than a year ago.
Wang Siman wanted to cancel the engagement back then but was afraid he would disagree, so she called him out and humiliated him. Otherwise, Su Wenxiu wouldn’t have felt so agitated.
He clenched his hands into tight fists before taking a deep breath and saying coldly, “Please carry yourself with dignity, Ma’am. You’re a married woman, so you must be careful with your words.”
“What did you just say?!” Wang Siman could not believe Su Wenxiu would talk to her like that..

Su Wenxiu recalled the past and the humiliating words Wang Siman had said to him, “Wenxiu, why don’t you take a good, long look at yourself? No matter how hard you work with your family’s background, it’s useless. Can you guys compete with wealthy and prominent families?
“You must know your place and stop thinking that not canceling the engagement will work. Why don’t you look at where your family is? Your reputation is terrible, and you’re poor.
“I told you I wanted that hairpin, but you couldn’t afford it. What about my betrothal money? Can your family afford it?”
These words filled Su Wenxiu’s mind, one at a time, causing his eyes to turn red with anger. He was a man of dignity, but every word Wang Siman said was a massive blow to him.
He had been busy every day under the care of his family and had forgotten about this. However, Wang Siman’s appearance reminded him of what she had said.
Su Wenxiu said, “I don’t want to be associated with you. So, can you not be so narcissistic?”
He had gone to the capital and experienced many terrible things on his journey, so he was no longer the young man who only blushed in anger whenever someone humiliated him. Instead, he would retaliate.
Wang Siman looked at Su Wenxiu in disbelief, “H-How dare you speak to me like that?! Do you think I’ll believe you didn’t come here just to see me? We’re in Hundred Herbs Hospital, so how can you enter such a highly regarded place like this?
“You can’t even afford to pay for a consultation, let alone get medicine. You came here because you knew I was here. I’ve already told you our engagement is over.
Ads by Pubfuture “I’m the wife to the High Duke’s eldest young master now. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better leave quickly,” Wang Siman was just short of saying, “get lost.”
However, she still had some concerns. She feared Su Wenxiu would fight with her till the end. If that were the case, he would inadvertently expose her past. She did not want the Duke to know she had been engaged to someone else before, as it would be terrible for her reputation.
‘The High Duke’s public house’s wealth isn’t something a country bumpkin like Wenxiu could compare to.’ Wang Siman looked at Su Wenxiu with disgust.
Su Wenxiu sneered. “That’s why you can continue being the young madam in the public house. I didn’t come to Hundred Herbs Hospital for you. Stop being so arrogant and delusional.”
Su Wenxiu wanted to scold Wang Siman, but he was well-mannered and held back. “Although the ‘dog’ bit me, I don’t intend on biting back because I’m human.”
His words were harsh, but he was not scolding the young madam. Still, his words had a more stimulating effect.
“Y-You…” Wang Siman’s lips trembled in anger, and she was speechless.
‘Since when did Wenxiu have such a sharp tongue?! He even called me a dog!’
She was already fuming when Su Wenxian added, “No, I can’t compare a dog to you since it’ll humiliate the dog.”
“Su Wenxiu!” Wang Siman’s eyes widened in anger as she yelled at him.
The people in the queue looked over when they heard the commotion. They all looked at Wang Siman angrily.
Ads by Pubfuture “Where did this lady come from? She put on airs and used her status to cut the queue when she arrived. She’s also rude to Second Young Master Su!”
The people visiting Hundred Herbs Hospital respectfully addressed Su Wenxiu as Second Young Master Su.
“Everyone who comes to Hundred Herbs Hospital has to line up,” Su Wenxiu said coldly, “Ma’am, please don’t cut in line. Don’t disturb our doctors and patients.”
Wang Siman’s lips trembled as she tried to say something.
Just then, Doctor Wu came out. He looked at Su Wenxiu excitedly and said, “Wenxiu, there’s a medical case and a prescription here that I need help understanding. Please explain it to me.
“This book of yours. Everything you’ve written here is amazing! Wenxiu, your medical skills will far surpass mine soon. I’ll have to ask you for more advice then.”
Doctor Wu spoke from the bottom of his heart and was clueless about the little dispute that had just happened. He was about to leave with Su Wenxiu when he saw Wang Siman.
Then Doctor Wu noticed everyone’s expressions as they stood in line and asked Wang Siman, “Did you cut the queue? We don’t allow people to cut in unless there’s a life-threatening situation. Please consult elsewhere if you insist on cutting the queue.”
His tone did not show an ounce of politeness as he spoke. He hated those who relied on status to disregard the rules and bully ordinary people.
Doctor Wu looked at everyone, then at the young madam’s attire and the servant girl’s overbearing posture. Then he better understood what was happening.
In the past, people like this had cut the queue, but Hundred Herbs Hospital did not like this.

Wang Siman’s eyes were about to pop out of her head. She knew of Doctor Wu from Hundred Herbs Hospital.
‘Why would Doctor Wu discuss the prescription of an illness with a country bumpkin like Wenxiu? How could Doctor Wu be so respectful to Wenxiu but not
‘Could Wenxiu be giving medical services at Hundred Herbs Hospital? No, no, he was not wearing a doctor’s uniform. However, the people here are very respectful toward Wenxiu.’
Wang Siman thought about what she had said before and felt like she had gotten slapped in the face.
In addition, Doctor Wu’s words just now were merciless. Wang Siman’s face was red and blue as people pointed at her.
Wang Siman’s servant girl retorted, “My young madam is the High Duke’s young mistress. How dare you disrespect her in a run-down place like this?!”
Wang Siman should have scolded her servant, but she did not. She kept quiet whenever this happened, causing her servants to be rude and unruly.
Doctor Wu frowned immediately. “Oh, is that so? Tell me which High Duke’s public house it is so I can ask the Wu family to pay a visit. Let’s see if the High Duke was the one who taught his young mistress and servants to behave so atrociously.”
Wang Siman and the servant’s faces paled when they heard that, especially Wang Siman. She knew Hundred Herbs Hospital had influential backing, and so did the capital.
‘If the people from the High Duke’s public house discover what I’ve done… No, no!’ Her face flushed.
“Yeah! We don’t know if they’re from the High Duke’s public house or just foxes exploiting a tiger’s might!”
“These kinds of people only know how to bully others! ” @@novelbin@@
“Why does she look so familiar? Isn’t she from our town?”
Wang Siman’s face turned white as snow when she saw everyone glaring and pointing at her angrily.
She glared back at Su Wenxiu, then quickly left with her servant girl in tow.
Su Wenxiu felt a sense of relief as he looked at Wang Siman’s dismal appearance. Soon after, he and Doctor Wu went back inside to discuss their medical skills.
Although this was a small interlude, Su Wenxiu understood he had to work harder. He could only avoid humiliation and disrespect by working hard enough to become stronger..

Su Wenxiu felt even more motivated. However, he did not tell his family about this issue for the time being because he did not want them to worry about him.
He understood that others would stop looking down on him only when he was strong.
Su Binglan was unaware of what had happened with her second brother. After returning to the village from town, she visited her first granduncle’s house and explained Li Shi’s situation to him.
She wanted to help Li Shi but would not be biased toward him. Whether or not
Li Shi could move to Su Teng Village would still depend on Chief Su’s approval. Moreover, Chief Su would not break the rules of Su Teng Village just for her.
After pondering, Chief Su nodded. “Li Shi is a good kid. He still forgave his parents for how they treated him and is willing to care for them. Still, you’re right. I’m not sure if Mr. and Mrs. Li are sincere. @@novelbin@@
“It’s impossible to tell in such a short time. According to our village’s rules, Mr. and Mrs. Li cannot become Su Teng villagers. However, Li Shi can become a villager here and use the excuse of being dutiful to his parents to bring them to live with him.
“He can live in Su Teng Village as long as his parents are faithful to him, but Mr. and Mrs. Li can’t become official Su Teng Villagers. We have our rules here in Su Teng Village, after all.”
Su Binglan responded, “I know, Granduncle Su. I’ll follow the rules you’ve set, of course. Everyone in Su Teng Village is a good person because of the rules you set. The villagers always help each other, so the atmosphere here is perfect.”
Her heart felt warm as she felt the unity of Su Teng Village, as its members were also willing to help outsiders.
Chief Su said smilingly, “I distributed rapeseeds to everyone a few days ago. The villagers were ecstatic and are grateful to you. They’ve been hurriedly planting the rapeseed, hoping for a good harvest in spring. If so, we won’t have to work for a year and wait for the autumn harvest.”
Chief Su knew everyone’s lives were not easy as they would be busy all year round. After the wheat and autumn harvest, the villagers would sell a portion of their crops for some income. Still, they barely made enough to spend.
Ads by Pubfuture Every family lived a tough life, and their money had to last a year. Therefore, everyone had grown accustomed to being frugal.
However, they could sell or extract oil with a good rapeseed harvest in spring. Since not everyone could work at the tofu factory, most still had to rely on crops for income.
“Binglan, remember to tell me if you have more good things like rapeseed. Don’t worry. The villagers will always buy such things if they can use them.” Chief Su was always fair and just.
Su Binglan laughed. “Don’t worry, Granduncle Su. I still have other good things with me. I’ll tell you about them when spring arrives.”
Chief Su was as excited as a child with new toys when he heard that. He asked curiously, “What kind of things do you have? Are they like rapeseeds?”
“They’re not rapeseeds, but potatoes and sweet potatoes,” Su Binglan elaborated, “Still, we can only plant these things at the start of spring when the weather is warm, so don’t worry, Graunduncle Su. You can tell everyone about this at the start of spring.”
Chief Su was delighted when he heard that. He smiled happily and said,
“That’s terrific, Binglan. You honestly are our village’s Lucky Star.”
He knew about potatoes, sweet potatoes, and chilies because he had tried them before. Whenever Su Binglan and her side of the family made good food, Su Fengmao would always send some to his uncle, Chief Su.
Potatoes were good ingredients, as Su Binglan could make simple, delicious sour, spicy potato pancakes with chilies. She could also use potatoes to make other delicious dishes by stewing them with pork ribs and chicken.
She also had sweet potatoes that she could roast, making them taste sweet and fragrant. She had made shredded sweet potatoes for Chief Su last time. Although she added sugar to the dish, it made it more delicious.
Chief Su got hungry when he thought of all those delicacies. Still, he knew he could not eat such things on regular days and could only have them as occasional snacks.
However, he had never thought Su Binglan would suggest planting potatoes and sweet potatoes here. Nonetheless, Su Binglan had planned to let the villagers grow these things.
It was good for the villagers, as their harvest would be bountiful even if they could not get a job at the tofu factory.
Ads by Pubfuture “That’s an exaggeration, Granduncle Su. You’re just complimenting me.” Su Binglan felt embarrassed when an elder like her first granduncle praised her.
Chief Su said, “I’m not lying, Binglan. You’ve sincerely helped the villagers a bunch. Everyone is talking about your embroidery shop now. They thought you’d only hire people after construction and didn’t expect you to hire people a few days ago. Many people are envious.”
Su Binglan knew Su Teng Village was a little smaller than its neighbors, and if there were any news going around, the Su Teng Village would immediately know about it.
She did not intend to hide that she would open an embroidery shop from anyone.
“Granduncle Su, I plan to hire more people after the embroidery shop is complete. By then, I won’t only hire people from our village but also people from neighboring villages.”
Chief Su waved, saying, “That’s okay, Binglan. You can do whatever you want and not worry about a thing. You’ve already done the village many great favors.
“Oh, we won’t have enough land if we let the villagers plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, and chilies when spring arrives.”
Su Binglan smiled and explained, “Don’t worry about that, Granduncle Su. The production of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very high, so the villagers only need to use a small portion of their land.”
‘The production is high?’ Chief Su heard the keywords and knew his grandniece would not casually say such things. ‘Binglan didn’t even say how high the rapeseed yield would be, but in my opinion, it should still be very high.’
Chief Su suppressed his excitement and asked, “Binglan, you said the production would be high. How high?”
Su Binglan blinked and said mysteriously, “One acre of land can produce a few thousand pounds of potatoes. We can probably produce eight thousand pounds of potatoes if it’s a good harvest.”
One acre of land could produce five to six thousand pounds of potatoes. However, since Su Binglan had placed the potatoes into her pocket dimension, the effects would improve, and they should be able to produce about eight thousand pounds of potatoes.
Still, that was only a rough estimate.
Chief Su’s eyes widened when he heard that, and he was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, listening on the sidelines, his wife was so shocked that her hands trembled.
Grandaunt Su did not interrupt Su Binglan when she spoke and listened quietly. However, she thought something was wrong with her ears when she heard what her grandniece said.
Su Binglan noticed Chief Su’s expression and waved her hand before his eyes. “Granduncle Su? Granduncle Su.
She found his shocked expression amusing and wondered how the villagers would react if she told them how high the potato production would be next spring.
‘They probably wouldn’t believe it..’

“Binglan, did I hear you right? Eight thousand pounds per acre? T-That’s…”
Grandaunt Su asked.
‘That’s unreal! I wouldn’t have believed it if someone else had said it. My husband is the village chief and always spoke seriously, paying particular attention to the words of a gentleman. Even so, I wouldn’t believe him if he said what Binglan said.’
Since that was the case, Grandaunt Su also felt the production rate was a little too incredible. Still, that was what Su Binglan had said. Grandaunt Su thought it was unreal but could not help but believe it. She was pretty excited.
She and Chief Su had also been farmers when they were younger. Although they had grown old and their sons and daughters were dutiful, they understood land and crops.
‘Even if one works hard for an entire year, watering and tending to crops in one acre of land could never produce so much food.’
Su Binglan nodded thoughtfully, “It’s true, Grandaunt Su.”
However, the number she mentioned was just a conservative estimate. The potato and sweet potato production rate should increase exponentially after her pocket dimension’s improvements. As for the specifics, she would only know after growing the potatoes.
Su Binglan had gone to the fields to check on the soybeans’ growth two days ago. She found that the soybeans were overgrowing.
‘The production rate should be very high since they all grew densely.’
Ads by Pubfuture Therefore, she was almost sure the improved seeds would yield much more.
Chief Su snapped out of his daze and happily smacked the table. “That’s terrific, Binglan!” He was so excited that he did not know what else to say. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan continued, “We can also cook the potatoes and eat them with rice or make dishes with them.”
Grandaunt Su returned to her senses and sighed after hearing that. She said, “Then no one will starve again. The villagers will have enough to eat, even if they plant only a little.”
Chief Su nodded. “Hmm. We’ll have to wait until spring to tell everyone about this in case they get anxious.”
Even he could not wait to plant potatoes.
Su Binglan chatted with her first granduncle more before preparing to go home. However, it was only afternoon, so she thought about it and decided to visit the temporary embroidery shop.
After all, a few days had passed, and she did not know how much progress the workers had made.
Her footsteps stopped when she arrived at the house he had lived in with Luo Jin’an, which she now used as the temporary embroidery shop. Even though the house was small, she had many fond memories.
Luo Jin’an had been away for a few days, and Su Binglan wondered how he was doing. She did not think much about it since she was busy, but memories about her husband flooded her mind as she stood there silently, allowing herself to think about Luo Jin’an.
‘He’s a man of few words at times but always meticulous. He had a cold demeanor but could be careful and gentle.’
Su Binglan quickly calmed down after pondering. After all, now was not the time to think about this since she still had many things to do.
Soon after, she entered the old house.
Ads by Pubfuture Ding Wan was teaching everyone to make rag dolls at that moment.
She had taught everyone how to make handbags and backpacks a few days ago. After everyone familiarized themselves with those things, Ding Wan taught them how to make rag dolls.
Since she decided to teach these people first, they could teach newer workers whenever Su Binglan hired more people when the embroidery shop was complete.
Things would be more efficient that way. Everyone knew how talented Ding Wan was in embroidery. Her lessons were straightforward and efficient, helping everyone to learn quickly.
She wondered what the real embroidery shop would look like while teaching everyone.
‘Since Binglan wants me to be a manager, I must think about how to do it for her.’
Dong Xiaolei felt restrained and was silent when she first followed her mother to do embroidery work. However, she became more lively after getting to know the people around her over the past few days.
She was stuffing wheat husks into the rag doll and could not bear to part with it because of how pretty it looked.
Shi Cui said, “Even I want to hold on to it because of how pretty it looks, not to mention children.”
She was holding a needle and thread while quickly sewing her doll. Now that her hand had recovered, she could do things swiftly with no trouble. Her previous scars and cuts had formed scabs and fallen off, making her skin look new again.
Her hand was no longer swollen, and her new skin was soft. Even so, she still could not believe it was real. Now, she wanted to use her hands more and grow accustomed to this relaxing feeling.
Since her hand no longer hurt, it felt easier to thread the needle.
Shi Cui had become more open with everyone ever since her hand recovered, and she received a job at the temporary embroidery shop. She was also frank and generous like she was many years ago.
She no longer had the depressed and desperate look as when Ding Wan visited her. Now, Shi Cui could talk and laugh with everyone.
Everyone also found her words exciting and could not help but laugh whenever she spoke.
“Wheat husks as stuffings are great, but cotton is softer. It’s just that cotton is more costly.”
Ding Wan picked up the rag beside her and said, “Binglan bought these unwanted rags from a cloth shop in town. They’re cheap and can be bought in two bags, so you can stuff them into the dolls, too.”
Sun Damin had just finished making a new doll and felt accomplished. “This doll looks so adorable. I’ve never seen a lovelier one.”
She had made her doll based on what Su Binglan had given her. It was a cartoon mouse with a wide, open smile. It was simple to make but looked good, nonetheless.
Yang Luqin was also busy sewing with her head lowered. “These will undoubtedly be in high demand if we sell them. The children from wealthy families will love these things.”
“Everyone will like them,” Zhou Wen’e added, “We’ll make some expensive and more affordable ones. Still, the wealthy families will probably buy the more expensive ones.”
Meanwhile, Miss He only pursed her lips and smiled. She enjoyed listening to the people around her talk because of how lively it felt. She did not even feel tired. Instead, she felt like time would pass too quickly.
Su Binglan came in just as everyone was busy sewing. She said smilingly, “It looks like everyone is busy, huh?”
Everyone immediately showed respectful expressions when they heard the voice and saw Su Binglan.
“Miss Su is here!”
“Hello, Miss Su.”
Everyone hurried to get down from the brick bed. They would not treat Su Binglan like a child just because she was younger than them.
They knew how capable Su Binglan was as they would soon work in her embroidery shop and earn money relying on her abilities. That was why everyone was respectful and grateful to her.
Su Binglan waved. “Everyone, continue doing your work. There’s no need to be so formal. I’m just here to check on everyone.”
She joined the workers on the brick bed as she spoke so that everyone would feel less restrained..

Ding Wan looked at her niece and said happily, “This is what everyone has been doing these past few days. They’re learning and making things fast.
There are things here and also in the inner room.”
Su Binglan saw many things on the brick bed and even the windowsills. Fortunately, the brick bed was large enough for everyone to sit apart. She sat on the edge of the bed and placed her hands under the blanket, asking, “Is the bed warm enough for you guys?
“Yes, it is.”
“Madam Ding warms it up for us every day. The brick bed stays warm all day, and we won’t catch a cold.”
Everyone hurriedly replied whenever Su Binglan asked a question. They were awkward when faced with her, but they wore grateful smiles. They would also exchange a few words with each other to avoid awkward silences.
Although everyone talked to Su Binglam, their hands did not stop moving. Instead, they continued making dolls and sewing.
Su Binglan observed everyone and realized how skilled and swift they were in sewing. They did much better than she had imagined. She looked on and nodded discreetly.
She also realized how quickly Shi Cui worked. Her pair of hands worked very swiftly. While sewing her doll, Shi Cui said, “Miss Su, my hand is all better now thanks to your prescribed medicine. It doesn’t hurt anymore, so it doesn’t affect my work.”
Ads by Pubfuture Shi Cui was all smiles as she spoke.
Su Binglan responded, “Your hand isn’t a big issue. Just keep applying the ointment I prescribed. Also, you should be more careful during winter and avoid washing your clothes in cold water.”
“Okay, I understand, Miss Su.” In the past, Shi Cui felt finding a cure for her hand was pointless. She thought there was nothing to do about it and that she should brave the cold.
Now that her hand had recovered and she knew not to expose it to the cold anymore, she took precautions to care for her hand. After all) she had to work hard in the embroidery shop soon.
Meanwhile, Miss He struggled to find the words to thank Su Binglan.
‘Now Lin Chai no longer stutters, Lin Shu is learning medical skills from Second Young Master Su, and I’m working at the embroidery shop to earn money.’ These changes excited Miss He.
Su Binglan also noticed how nimble Dong Xiaolei and Su Nong’s hands were when they sewed. The young girls’ hands were long and slender, making them more agile in needlework.
Ding Wan brought her niece to the back room to look at more things they had made. The bed was full of backpacks, handbags, and various-sized rag dolls. The room looked like an accessories shop.
Su Binglan’s eyes lit up. “You guys made this many things in just a few days?” She did not expect them to complete so many things in such a short time. Ding Wan said, “Although it’s been a few days, and everyone was learning slowly, they picked up the pace very quickly. They can do many things in a day now.
“We’re fast because we worked together. Take the dolls, for example. Some were in charge of sewing, some did the stuffings, and the rest stitched up the dolls. That way, we complete the dolls very quickly.”
Su Binglan looked at Ding Wan admiringly. “As expected, I can feel at ease entrusting the embroidery shop’s management to you.”
“That’s all I can do. I can’t help you with much else,” Ding Wan said smilingly. When she did embroidery in her earlier years, a few villagers would learn it from her.
Ads by Pubfuture At that time, she had garnered more experience helping a few villagers and learned to do more embroidery work quickly.
“This is good enough, Aunt Ding. It’s good that everyone has something they’re good at,” Su Binglan said sweetly.
Ding Wan could not help but smile when she heard her nieces words. Ding Wan’s condition had improved, and she was more confident since she resumed her embroidery work.
While coming out of the inner room with Ding Wan, Su Binglan looked at everyone and praised, “Good job, everyone.”
She could see their exquisite quality, as the stitches were so tight that she could barely see them. That alone was enough to ensure her that everyone was earnest about their work.
“Everyone is happy to work doing embroidery,” Ding Wan said, “Everyone is diligent, so you don’t have to worry about that, Binglan. I’ll also check the items we make to ensure their quality.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Everyone in our village is honest. Furthermore, you were the one who chose the people working here, so I’m not worried about their work.”
Su Binglan could do other things without worry since Ding Wan was managing the embroidery workers.
Ding Wan looked at the items on the table and said, “By the way, we should make some sweaters. I’ll teach everyone how to knit when you’re ready.” @@novelbin@@
“You can arrange these things as you see fit, Aunt Ding,” Su Binglan said. She believed in her aunt’s abilities in this area.
“All right, I’ll see to the arrangements then. Oh, when do you plan to sell these items, Binglan?”
After some thought, Su Binglan replied, “I rented a two-story shop in the east when I planned to open a hotpot restaurant there. I rented another building to sell these items two days ago.”
Ads by Pubfuture
Ding was puzzled. “Don’t you have a shop on the west side of town? Isn’t the rent lower there?”
“Well, we’re opening an accessories shop, so it’s different from food,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “People will still go to the restaurant if the food is good enough.
“However, the embroidery items we’re selling are pretty things. Some might not visit our shop if it’s too far. That’s why opening our embroidery shop on the east side is better since more people are there. Our business will be better.”
“You’re right. The items we made look good, so many people will be willing to buy them,” Ding Wan said.
“This thing looks so good. There will be many people buying it,” Ding Wan said. Since she was an embroiderer in the past, she knew what everyone liked most. Therefore, she knew the items they had made would be quite trendy, especially among the townsfolk.
After chatting with Ding Wan and the others, Su Binglan gave them more instructions before leaving for the tofu factory. She had thought of stinky tofu when she went to town earlier.
She had made stinky tofu before but had yet to promote it because she had recently been busy with many other things. She had just remembered stinky tofu today.
Du Xiaoshuan came to pick up the needed meatballs for the hotpot restaurant when Su Binglan arrived at the factory.
Du Xiaoshuan brought two candied hawthorns with him this time. One was for his sister Du Xiaoju, and the other was for Li Mei, who had been caring for his sister in his absence.
Li Mei’s face was as red as a rose, and she kept waving. “N-No, no, I can’t accept such an expensive treat.”
Candied hawthorns were too expensive to eat for Li Mei, and she usually could not bear to buy them. Still, she enjoyed eating them and felt touched. However, she could not accept it.
Du Xiaoshuan noticed Li Mei’s flustered expression and blushed. He looked awkward, saying, “W-Well, I went to the town previously, and the older man selling these was in a hurry to leave.
“He said if I bought two, the second one would be cheaper, so I bought two.
It’ll be a waste if you don’t eat it.”
Du Xiaoju did not think much of the situation at first. However, it was still daytime, so she could see things more clearly than last time. She looked at her brother’s awkwardness and felt puzzled.
‘Big Brother isn’t usually like this since he often comes here.’
Then Du Xiaoju looked at the blushing Li Mei and suddenly realized something..

Du Xiaoju revealed a happy and sweet smile. She had been worrying about her brother and felt he had been so busy that he did not have time to find himself a wife.
Previously, Du Xiaoshuan said nothing about finding a wife when his mother brought it up. His sister was also worried and did not know if she would get a sister-in-law.
In addition, Du Xiaoju would restrict her brother from seeing someone who was not good to him. She also feared that the person would mistreat their mother. Du Xiaoju had many concerns but still wanted her brother to be happy.
That was why she always told herself not to be selfish.
However, she began to understand the situation when she saw her brother’s and Li Mei’s appearances in each other’s presence. Du Xiaoju was thrilled, and her heart pounded.
She worked a lot with Li Mei and knew she had a good character and temperament. Li Mei was also hardworking and capable while being kind to her younger siblings.
She was exceptionally pure-hearted and even knew how to care for her family.
Du Xiaoju would be delighted if Li Mei were to become her sister-in-law.
Since Li Mei and her siblings lived in Su Teng Village, it would be very convenient if Du Xiaoshuan could live there, too.
‘In the future, Big Brother can also settle down in Su Teng Village. Since he’ll be closer to me, does that mean I can live with him and Mother after work?’
Ads by Pubfuture Du Xiaoju had saved her salaries and bonuses and had initially planned to save her money for her mother. She was excited about going home to her mother and brother to eat with them.
She hurriedly took the candied hawthorn and handed it to Li Mei, saying, “Take it and eat it, Li Mei. It’ll be a waste if you don’t. I can’t eat two alone, and my brother doesn’t enjoy it.
“Besides, it was more cost-effective for my brother to get two. He would’ve missed a good deal if he had only bought one. Take it quickly. You’d treat me as a stranger if you didn’t eat it.
“You’ve always cared for me, but I never know how to thank you. I’ll feel more at ease if you take the candied hawthorn. 0-0therwise, I’d be too embarrassed when you help me again next time.”
Du Xiaoju took Li Mei’s arm and stuffed the candied hawthorn in her hand.
Li Mei was too embarrassed to return it now, mainly because she could not refute Du Xiaoju’s words. Li Mei’s face was red hot as she held the treat. She lowered her head and dared not look up.
She felt her heart beating differently from usual and wondered what was wrong with her.
Du Xiaoshuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Mei taking the treat. He was afraid she would not want it.
Then Du Xiaoju took the goods for her brother and said, “You have no idea how good Li Mei is, Big Brother. She has a good temperament and personality.
She even takes excellent care of me.”
She felt she should try to put her brother and Li Mei together since Du
Xiaoshuan had good intentions and Li Mei had a good impression of him.
“So, you should bring us more delicious food next time. Then I can enjoy the food with Li Mei.”
Ads by Pubfuture “All right. Don’t worry, Little Sister,” Du Xiaoshuan readily replied.
Meanwhile, Li Mei’s head remained lowered, and her face was still red hot. She returned to her senses when she heard her friend’s words before hurriedly waving around. “T-Theres no need for that.”
Du Xiaoju took Li Mei’s hand and said, “Li Mei, you think of me as a little
sister, right? You don’t have to be so formal around me.”
Li Mei’s mind went blank as her lips moved. However, she did not know what to say. She and Du Xiaoju were usually very talkative as they typically chatted while working, but Li Mei was not good with her words at this moment.
She only regained her senses when Du Xiaoshuan left. She was perplexed and thought, ‘Did I make a fool of myself just now?
Du Xiaoju told Li Mei, “Let’s eat these treats. They must be extra sweet since my brother bought them.”
Li Mei looked at the candied hawthorn and was too embarrassed to say anything more. Instead, she followed Du Xiaoju’s actions and ate the treat. Li Mei’s eyes lit up after taking a bite.
After all, she had not eaten candied hawthorns for a long time. When she was younger, and her parents were still around, they would buy her such treats. She greatly missed those days and had wholesome memories of candied hawthorns.
It reminded her of the carefree and warm times she had as a child. At that moment, she revealed a faint smile. However, she could not bear to eat anymore after having one piece from the skewer.
“Xiaoju, can I take the rest home for my younger siblings?” She asked while looking at Du Xiaoju. She was also a little cautious while asking this question.
After all, she had received the candied hawthorn from Du Xiaoju’s brother, so it might be rude if she took some back. Still, Li Mei felt guilty as she could eat delicious food at the factory, but her younger siblings could not.
Du Xiaoju nodded. “Of course, you can. What my brother gives you is yours to do with as you please.”
Ads by Pubfuture
She did not think anything was wrong with Li Mei being considerate of her younger siblings. Du Xiaoju i s mother had said she should try putting herself in other’s shoes, so Du Xiaoju could better understand Li Mei now.
‘I would be sad if my big brother ate good food and didn’t share it with me. Even so, he always saved the best food for me. He must feel the same way as Li Mei in that regard.’
She heaved a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Du Xiaoju.
“Li Mei, you’ve cared for me all this time. You don’t have to thank me, okay?” Du Xiaoju said smilingly. @@novelbin@@
Then the duo walked back into the factory while talking and laughing to continue their work.
Su Binglan saw everything when she arrived at the factory. Her expression changed, and a smile appeared on her face. She felt a sense of innocence when she saw Du Xiaoshuan and Li Mei’s interactions.
‘The people of this era are so reserved.’
She did not let them notice she was there and snuck into the factory.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua feigned innocence when she saw her daughter. “Binglan, you’re back from town, huh?”
“Yes, Mother. I came to discuss stinky tofu with you.”
Shen Qiuhua immediately nodded. “Oh, you want to start making and selling stinky tofu, right?”
Su Binglan had mentioned this before, and her mother thought she would have already arranged for it.
However, Su Binglan never mentioned it again and seemed busy, so Shen Qiuhua avoided bothering her daughter. Instead, Shen Qiuhua managed the factory’s affairs one step at a time.
Su Binglan nodded. “We’ll use one of our factory’s rooms to make stinky tofu from tomorrow onward.”
The vast factory had several significant sections, so she planned to use one section to make stinky tofu.
Shen Qiuhua asked with some concern, “Does that mean the entire factory will smell like stinky tofu?”
‘Stinky tofu is delicious but doesn’t smell good. Would others be willing to smell it since they’re working inside?’
Su Binglan explained, “You don’t have to worry about that, Mother. The process is the same as making regular tofu, so it won’t smell. The smell will only come after we’ve fired it and added some spices to flavor it..”

Shen Qiuhua believed her daughter’s words without a doubt.
“That’s good. Since that’s the case, we can make stinky tofu, mainly because of its deliciousness. I start craving stinky tofu whenever I think about it.” Shen Qiuhua could still remember its smell.
She had not felt hungry after her busy afternoon, but she wanted to eat when she thought about how delicious the stinky tofu was. Fortunately, it was almost nighttime, and she could go home for dinner in a while.
Shortly after, Su Binglan explained how to make the stinky tofu to her mother, who did well to remember it. “All right. We’ll start making stinky tofu tomorrow. Do you want to arrange for a few people to do that? Then we might need to hire more people to make the regular tofu.”
Su Binglan considered how she had made much more money and could hire more people. She said, “Let’s get Granduncle Su to inform the villagers tonight. We’ll tell the villagers we’re hiring six more people, and they should come for interviews tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll tell your father to do that,” Shen Qiuhua said, “I noticed how busy you are these days, so I want you to go home early and rest.”
Her heart ached when she saw how busy her daughter was every day. Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua was only in charge of the tofu factory and did not need to worry about anything else.
‘I’m not tired, but Binglan has to worry about everything else and is constantly busy. I know she must be tired.’
However, Shen Qiuhua did not know that her daughter possessed a unique body and had access to a pocket dimension, so her mental energy and strength were extraordinary.
Su Binglan barely felt tired, despite being busy with many things. Instead, she felt her days were very fulfilling. She knew how meaningful her actions were, especially when she saw how her employees smiled.
When she returned home to make dinner, she noticed Su Wenwu had returned early. She asked curiously, “Third Brother, why did you come back so early today?”
Su Wenwu explained, “That’s because Zhou Shan is very reliable, Little Sister. I’m relieved to let him manage the hot pot restaurant. I can finally take a break for the next few days. After that, I should be busy again since the hotpot restaurant in the east will be ready.”
Ads by Pubfuture Previously, Su Binglan had arranged for Zhou Shan to work at the current hotpot restaurant because she wanted to train him to be its manager. That way, Su Wenwu could manage the upcoming hotpot restaurant in the east.
Nonetheless, she felt assured about leaving her third brother in charge of the upcoming hotpot restaurant. Moreover, Su Wenwu had done well as a manager and could do as he wished. He had even made proper arrangements for the ingredients purchasing.
“Zhou Shan has worked for me since I opened the dessert shop,” Su Binglan said, “He has learned a lot, so it wouldn’t be a problem for him to manage the hotpot restaurant.”
She did not feel concerned about that.
Su Wenwu said proudly, “Of course. You’d be impressed with how fast Zhou Shan can do his accounting. He only needs to glance at the stock that comes and goes once to remember everything. His accounting is evident, and he uses the method you taught him.
“Although he has only worked there a few days, I almost didn’t need to do anything since Zhou Shan could handle it. He is genuinely doing a good job.” Su Wenwu rarely praised anyone, but Zhou Shan did an excellent job in Su Wenwu’s opinion.
Su Wenwu felt reassured seeing Zhou Shan work.
At that moment, Su Wenwu felt relaxed. That was why he could go home earlier than usual. Otherwise, he would still be busy at the hotpot restaurant.
He found a chair and sat down, leaning against it while sighing with relief. “Ah, I feel so relaxed now.”
Su Binglan looked at her third brother smilingly. “It looks like you’ve been exhausted lately. Why don’t you rest at home for a few more days? We can delay opening the new hotpot restaurant for a while.”
Su Wenwu anxiously stood up and said, “Don’t be like that, Little Sister. You must let me work. I checked the construction progress, and it’ll be ready in a few days. We can immediately open it since I’ve already made arrangements. I’ll tell the townsfolk and make it a grand opening.”
“Wenwu, although opening the restaurant is important, your health matters too. I don’t want you to tire yourself out,” Su Binglan said.
“I’m not tired, Little Sister,” Su Wenwu said earnestly, “We’ll open on schedule, okay? I like feeling busy. Now that I have a proper job and can make money, @@novelbin@@
I’m more comfortable taking a break.
“When I had nothing to do in the past, I felt restless no matter how much I rested. I was so anxious then.” Su Wenwu would feel a lingering fear whenever he thought of the past and his family’s situation back then. Therefore, he was more earnest about his job now.
Ads by Pubfuture When Su Wenwu thought of the hardships he and his family had suffered in the past, he dared not slack off since he had a good life now.
Su Binglan noticed how worried her third brother was and said, “Don’t worry,
Wenwu. I was just joking with you.”
Su Wenwu scoffed and chuckled. He said, “I’ll help you start the fire, Little Sister.”
Immediately after, he went to the yard to get some firewood and burned them in the furnace.
Su Binglan said, “By the way, I have something to tell you, Wenwu.”
Su Wenwu had just lit the fire and blew on it to strengthen the fire. He said,
“Just tell me whatever you need to, Little Sister.”
Everyone in the Su family knew it was a good thing whenever Su Binglan asked them to do something. Su Binglan asked, “Do you think the stinky tofu is delicious?
Her words invigorated Su Wenwu as he replied, “Of course, it’s delicious, but it’s been a while since I had it. When will you make stinky tofu again, Little Sister?”
Su Binglan explained, “I’ll hire six more people to work at the factory tomorrow. Then we can start making stinky tofu. However, I considered arranging for people to open a stinky tofu stall.”
Su Wenwu was a bright young man who immediately understood his sister’s meaning. “Do you want me to arrange for someone to sell stinky tofu, Little Sister?”
“That’s right. If I remember correctly, you have a few close, trusted friends. You said they were good people who treated their families well, right? Have you given them any jobs?”
“No,” Su Wenwu said, “Only three of them are working with me now. They’re in charge of getting ingredients for our hotpot restaurant. I still have two more close friends who could use jobs, but they live far away. One lives in Northern Mountain Village, and the other lives in the town next door.”
Su Binglan frowned slightly. “Isn’t the one in the neighboring town also from a neighboring village? Isn’t he an orphan, too? He should still be in the old house his parents left him since the foundation is still there.
“I thought of asking him to be responsible for the ingredients when we open the hotpot restaurant in the next town.”
After some thought, she continued, “Still, we’re not rushing to open another hotpot restaurant. You should ask your friend in Northern Mountain Village if he wants to work for us first.
“However, I don’t want him to work at the factory. Instead, I’ll let him sell stinky tofu in town. He’ll be my employee, and I’ll pay him a monthly salary and bonus..”
