When Su Binglan was preparing to sleep that night, she looked outside and saw snowflakes falling from the sky. Soon, the snowflakes covered the roof and the ground.
The snow made the outside look brighter and lit up the room. Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “It’s snowing.’
“Yes, it looks like a blizzard might be coming.” Luo Jin’an looked outside,
Su Binglan looked at him as he sat on the ground. She said, “Hurry and get on the bed to warm yourself up.”
Luo Jin’an had just added charcoal to the brick bed’s furnace to ensure his wife could keep warm when she slept. He knew his wife did not enjoy the cold, and this winter was harsher than usual.
Luo Jin’an smiled at Su Binglan and said, “It’s nice and warm inside the house. I don’t feel cold. This house is much warmer than the one at the border.’
Su Binglan smiled and explained, “That’s how I designed it. 1 made the walls thicker than our old house to help us stay warm during the winter and shielded from the heat during summer.”
She behaved coquettishly like an innocent girl in front of her husband. Luo Jin’an’s eyes were full of affection whenever he looked at her. “If everyone’s houses were like this, they wouldn’t freeze during winter.”
Su Binglan looked outside and said, “Xueye was the one who designed most of those houses in his style. They look practical and beautiful. I’m sure the families living in those houses can stay warm during winter and cool during

“Even if they didn’t have charcoal to help keep them warm, they wouldn’t freeze if they heated their brick beds with firewood.”
The villagers’ houses were warm, but they could make it warmer using charcoal.
After lighting some charcoal and adding them to the brick bed’s furnace, Luo Jin’an rested on the brick bed. The house had plenty of firewood as an alternative, so the family could stay warm all night.
They also had mattresses that were nice and comfortable. The family could quickly relax and fall asleep once they covered themselves with blankets.
It had been a long time since Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an felt so relaxed. Su Binglan covered herself with the blanket and sighed in relief. “There’s no place like home. My mind and body can finally relax.”
She felt comfortable sleeping in her bed but thought it was somewhat bizarre. “Why do I feel more relaxed and sleep well at home and with my parents? 1 guess it’s because I feel safe and reassured.”
Su Binglan could not accurately explain why she felt that way.
Luo Jin’an’s heart ached when he heard his wife’s emotional words. He said, “You’ve exhausted yourself recently and haven’t slept well. Don’t work these next few days. It’s almost New Year.”
“l don’t feel like I’m too busy, nor do I feel tired. Maybe one can sleep well elsewhere, but it’s different at home. Home feels like a harbor, relaxing and full of warmth,” Su Binglan said.
Even Luo Jin’an agreed with her. His mind and body could relax when he returned to Su Teng Village. “Yes, that’s what having a home must feel like.”
Ads by Pubfuture People who typically stayed home felt like home was a haven. They would feel like children with their parents around. However, they had to take care of everything with their parents gone.
Su Binglan knew she was no longer a child. She had followed her brother and previous father to the border when she lived as Lan Ruobing.
Even when conditions turned rough, she did not feel like it was a challenge because she had her father and brother beside her. She felt free and did not have to worry about going to the battlefield.
However, Luo Jin’an was one of the few remaining members of the Wei family and had many concerns about everything he did. Indeed, he did not feel as safe or relaxed as Lan Ruobing when he was younger.
Fortunately, he had Su Binglan beside him, and she was the most incredible comfort in his life.
Su Binglan muttered the word “home” and felt its warmth. “Yes, I feel relaxed because we’re home. We can sleep well tonight.”
Luo Jin’an added, “It’s better to sleep now since it’s snowing heavily. You must get enougn rest tomgnt, okay’”
Su Binglan liked it whenever it snowed heavily. She always thought it was the best time to sleep.
Luo Jin’an smiled gently and said, “Okay, rest well.”
“Yeah, I’ll be busy giving the employees their wages and bonuses over the next few days. Once I give everyone a vacation, I’ll take one too. After all, it’s great to experience the holiday spirit.
“Let’s have fun, relax, and prepare for the New Year. I even have to prepare food with my parents for New Year. According to the customs here, we must make plenty of noodles. It’ll be nice if everyone can work together to make them. I like that atmosphere most.”

Luo Jin’an said, “You rest, and I’ll do all that.”
Su Binglan smiled. “It’s okay. I won’t work too hard. Besides, I’ll be sharing the workload with you. I must also write a script for my play in the next few days.”
She sat up when she mentioned that and continued, “Should I write it before sleeping?”
Luo Jin’an helplessly pulled Su Binglan back down and said, “Didn’t you just say it’s best to sleep on a snowy night? It took us forever to get home. Please rest. I’ll accompany you if you genuinely want to write a script now.”
Su Binglan compromised when she heard her husband’s words. After all, she did not want him to stay up till late with her. “No, don’t. Let’s sleep.” @@novelbin@@
However, she did not feel sleepy when she lay down. Instead, she looked at the ever-thickening snow and said, “We’re lucky we came home today. It would’ve been challenging to travel with this much snow. We might’ve even needed to wait a few days before traveling.”
Luo Jin’an felt the same way. “That’s true. We reached home at noon, and now it’s snowing heavily. If we delayed our trip, the road would’ve been difficult to traverse.”
When it snowed heavily in the village, it would be the same in the surrounding area. The sound of the north wind would be apparent whenever it snowed that much.
Whoosh!
The north wind was so loud that it hit the window and made a loud noise. The couple could guess how cold outside was when they listened to the wind. However, the colder it was outside, the warmer they felt in the house.
Su Binglan did not even want to stretch and covered herself tightly. She finally fell asleep after chatting with her husband. The sound of the wind was hypnotizing, and Su Binglan slept incredibly soundly this time.
When she woke up the following morning, the snow had already stopped. The villagers woke early to clear their courtyards of the thick snow from last night. Some even went around the village to shovel the snow out of the streets.
Both sides of the streets had piles of snow, but they melted when the sun came out.
The villagers liked snow, so they smiled brightly when they saw the thick snow on the ground early in the morning. The neighbors chatted while shoveling snow at the village’s entrance.
“Last night’s snow was heavy, huh?”
“Yeah, it’s good to have heavy snow sometimes. Auspicious snow is a sign of a prosperous year.”
“Yes, next year will be an excellent one for use.”

“It was freezing last night. 1 could hear the wind constantly blowing against the window frame.’
“That’s right. Still, my family and I feel warmer than before since moving into our new house. Our new place has no air leakage, so it helps us stay warm.”
“That kid who helped build our new house is talented. Our house can withstand an earthquake and keep us warm during winter.”
“Yeah, I didn’t need charcoal last night, either. My brick bed didn’t get cold at all.
“Although the charcoal here is cheap, we usually can’t bear to use it. People from other villages come here to buy charcoal, too.”
“Su Fengzhi and his two sons must be busy making a lot of charcoal to keep up with the demands.’
“It is winter, after all, so more people need charcoal. Su Wenlin and Su Wenchi are capable enough to keep making more charcoal, but they still hire people to help them.”
“Don’t forget about Su Zhengde’s bricks. They’re so good that my nephew used the red ones to build his new house.’
“Oh, right. My son wrote me a letter. He said he would return to live and work here so that he won’t have to be so far from home.’
“That’s right. It’s best to stay close to home. My son and daughter-in-law earn excellent monthly income and bonuses.”
Ads by Pubfuture Everyone chattered while shoveling snow and returned home afterward to make breakfast. One could see many houses from afar through the snow. Soon after, smoke arose from these houses’ chimneys.
It carried a dense aura of the mortal world. Everyone could smell the aroma of food in the smoke.
In the past, most families in Su Teng Village could only afford to eat porridge in the morning. Even so, some could not even afford porridge. Those people could only make soups to fill their stomachs.
However, things changed, and the people in Su Teng Village lived prosperously. Every family could afford to eat three daily meals, and their food was more nutritious.
Even if these families did not cook eggs, they could make porridge. But the porridge was better than the ones they made in the past, containing more meat and vegetables.
Many families could afford to boil eggs for their children, especially those families who were less willing to use oil to fry eggs.
After breakfast, most left home to work in the embroidery shop, tofu factories, wineries, brick factories, and cured meats stores. The market was lively, too. Some had the day off today and chose to sleep in.
Usually, the parents were reluctant to wake their working children and would let them rest at home on their days off work.
Su Teng Village’s atmosphere improved exponentially because of the Su family’s rules. Parents and children were more dutiful toward each other, making every family live harmoniously.
Everyone knew they could not work for or keep their jobs with the Su family if they did not have good characteristics. However, Su Teng Village had a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Everyone was kind and generous and would help each other even when the conditions were less than favorable. Every household lived well together these days.
Since the village’s conditions had improved, everyone became more amicable. Due to Su Teng Village’s influence, the atmosphere in surrounding villages also began to develop toward more beneficial lifestyles.
Some villages did not fare well in the past but changed over time. Even those who were calculative and selfish became kinder and more generous.
Ads by Pubfuture Although changing was hard for them, they eventually grew accustomed to it. They felt they had improved because they could work for the Su family and earn money. These folks were willing to improve themselves and changed from being selfish to becoming more generous and helpful.
It was all because they knew the Su family’s hiring principles. The family would only hire those with good morals, who were dutiful and loved their
tarni1Y members.
These villagers were willing to be more responsible for their actions to work for the Su family. Those who were unfilial toward their parents and in m laws became dutiful.
At the end of the year, everyone thought of the changes they had gone through and became emotional.
After entering the embroidery shop, the workers clocked in and started to work. The rules at the embroidery shop were not too strict, so the workers usually chatted while working.
Everyone discussed their daily lives and the heavy snow last night. They even talked about Su Binglan’s return. @@novelbin@@
“Miss Su has finally returned.”
“l heard Miss Su plans to give us a vacation for a few days. She told her parents about it when she returned yesterday.”
When Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao went to the tofu factory in the afternoon, they told their managers about the vacation. Everyone was excited when they heard the news. Since the news usually spread like wildfire throughout the village, those at the embroidery also heard about Su Binglan’s plans.
Everyone worked harder as they were most concerned about their salary, bonuses, and vacation.
“Really? We only have ten days left before New Year. Are we going to get our vacation so early?”
“That should be it. I heard Mr. and Mrs. Su telling the tofu factory workers that.”
Ads by Pubfuture
Everyone started calling Su Binglan’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Su.
The workers’ eyes lit up when they realized they could have a vacation for the New Year. They looked at the person who had told them about it and exclaimed, “That’s great!”
“Yeah, 1 don’t know when we’ll return to work next year.”
“Still, the news might not be accurate. Let’s not be presumptuous and continue working hard until we get confirmation.”
Everyone cherished their jobs. After all, their family’s conditions had improved thanks to their monthly salaries and bonuses. Moreover, they could get off work early daily and not feel tired. They even had rest days.
Even those who went to work for wealthy families did not have such benefits.
“l heard the shopkeepers and stewards working in towns and countrysides only have days off for the New Year. They don’t have weekly rest days like us.”
“We’ll only be receiving next month’s salary in eight days. I hope we get paid in time for the holidays.”
“l think it’s best to take my vacation later this week. Then I can get this
month’s salary and bonus. If that’s the case, my parents will be thrilled.”
“If I take my vacation earlier, I can take my family to town to shop. Then we can prepare for the New Year.”
“That’s true. I want to prepare noodles for my family.”
The embroidery shop workers were of different ages, so each had different thoughts and plans. The older workers wanted to go home earlier since they preferred making early preparations for the holidays. After all, they had parents and children to care for.
Meanwhile, the younger workers felt they needed to earn as much as possible while their parents or caretakers handled New Year preparations.
The remaining workers wanted to bring their families to town to buy New Year’s goods because their families were better off this year.
At that time, these workers could be more generous and wear nicer clothes when shopping. That way, these workers could feel proud when with their family members.
After all, they had earned a lot by working hard. They could feel more at ease when spending their hard-earned money and would not feel guilty. Some even felt they were too busy to go shopping and play with the children.
Nonetheless, the town would be lively before New Year, so bringing children to the fun would be good..

Everyone had different thoughts on spending their vacations or preparing for the New Year, but most preferred taking an early leave from work because it would give them more time with their families.
After all, New Year was a time for families to reunite. Most worked hard all year just to reunite with their families and celebrate the new year. Moreover, they could spare time to help their families prepare needed things.
Su Binglan slept well this time and only woke up when half of the morning passed. The sunlight shined through the window into the room, giving it a warm glow. It made her feel lazy as she lay in bed.
Since she slept so well, she felt more energetic after waking up. She had a quick breakfast and started her day by asking her family members to show her their accounts.
Su Binglan wanted to calculate the tofu factory’s profits to give everyone their bonuses. She did not worry about the workers’ salaries because those were fixed amounts.
After calculating, she would give everyone their year-end bonuses based on the factory’s most recent profits and earnings. The workers’ year-end bonus was more than usual. That way, everyone could have a good New Year when they went home to their families.
While the Su family prepared their accounts, Su Binglan wrote her script. She even wrote some lyrics to a song. She wanted to teach Yang Xiaoxun to sing at least two songs.
Su Binglan thought Yang Xiaoxun had a beautiful voice, so the former ensured the song she wrote would sound as lovely as possible. Fortunately, the two songs Su Binglan wrote were relatively simple.
She was busy writing her script when Su Xueye ran over. He was excited to see Su Binglan, greeting, “Hello, Aunt Binglan!’
Whenever Su Xueye was with his workers, he was severe and did not smile. He always behaved like an adult and spoke calmly. Everyone said he resembled his grandfather, Su Zhengde, the most.
However, no one knew how Su Xueye looked in front of Su Binglan. He resembled a more youthful boy in front of her.
“Xueye!” Su Binglan had not seen Su Xueye for a long time. She felt he had grown taller and more mature since she last saw him. He was even a head taller than Su Binglan.
“l didn’t expect you to grow so much since I left. You’ve matured so much, but you’ve gotten tan, too.” She said he was tan, but his skin had only turned slightly darker because he spent most of his time in the sun.
Su Xueye embarrassedly scratched the back of his head and chuckled. “Well, that’s because I’m always on-site with the workers when they’re building houses.’
“Although you’re a little darker, you seem much healthier because of the sun. Why’d you come looking for me, Xueye?” Su Binglan looked at the paper Su Xueye held and guessed it was an architectural drawing he had made. Su Xueye handed his blueprints to Su Binglan and said, “You said you wanted to build a place on the land between the town and our village. You also said you wanted to build a community near Blue Mountain Academy.
“l drew these according to your requirements. I don’t know if they’re up to your standards, so I came here to ask for your advice.” Su Xueye was highly interested in architecture and loved learning about it.
Su Bingfeng was surprised. She had mentioned some ideas about real estate planning on a specific piece of land. However, she had yet to implement it because she had too many things to do.
She wanted to discuss it with Su Xueye and draw the blueprints herself after the New Year. She did not expect Su Xueye to take the initiative and put in so much effort to draw the blueprints during her absence.
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye’s blueprints, and her eyes lit up. She said,
“These are impressive. You drew these perfectly, Xueye.”
Su Xueye was thrilled to receive praise from Su Binglan. He explained, “l modified the staff dormitory building according to your specifications, too.”
Previously, Su Binglan built the staff dormitories next to the embroidery shop based on her blueprints. At that time, Su Xueye was unfamiliar with such structures and did not understand them.
He had only seen two-story structures before. The stairs to these structures were not independent, and each room had stairs leading upstairs.
However, the dormitory building Su Binglan designed had stairs on the side of the building instead of in each room. That way, people from upstairs would not intrude whenever they needed to go downstairs to leave or vice versa.
Su Binglan’s design inspired Su Xueye greatly. He constantly considered it and drew the kind of house Su Binglan had mentioned. Still, he wondered if he had done well and nervously asked Su Binglan for her feedback
He knew Su Binglan returned at noon yesterday, so he planned to look for her in the afternoon. Then he thought Su Binglan would have many things to do and would need to rest after finally returning from her long journey.
Ads by Pubfuture Ultimately, he decided to wait until the following morning before asking for Su Binglan’s feedback.
Finally, Su Xueye shared his blueprints with Su Binglan. “There are three
floors in this area. 1 put the stairs on the side of the building, and each floor will have two units. Also, some can have two-story houses, while others will have one-story houses with a courtyard.”
Su Binglan listened to Su Xueye while looking at his blueprints. She felt his plans were perfect.
‘It’s great that he can draw like this.’
Still, there were some flaws in Su Xueye’s designs, so Su Binglan gave him some guidance. She also shared newer architectural knowledge with him.
Su Xueye listened attentively, his expression full of excitement.
Su Binglan lightly drew on Su Xueye’ s blueprints while explaining, “How about this? You can always ask me if you have any concerns.
“You don’t have to rush in the construction. We’ll build these after the New Year’s celebrations. You should rest during this period and avoid tiring yourself out.”
Su Xueye shook his head and enthusiastically said, “l won’t, Aunt Binglan. I feel incredibly fulfilled since you shared your knowledge about architectural design with me.”
He knew he had learned and done many great things since then and felt at ease. It was unlike before when he felt confused when learning about carpentry from his father and grandfather.
Ultimately, he was not interested in carpentry. However, he realized he needed some knowledge of carpentry to design buildings.
When Su Xueye was younger, he followed his father and grandfather. Their knowledge played a significant role in Su Xueye’ s passion for construction.
Previously, Su Binglan told him it was impossible to draw accurate architectural blueprints without basic carpentry knowledge. Therefore, Su Xueye kept learning and practicing.
Su Binglan encouraged him, and he excitedly ran home to study Su Binglan’s remarks on his blueprints. @@novelbin@@
After lunch, Su Binglan called her parents, uncles, and aunts over for a meeting. The meetings primary focus was to discuss the workers’ year-end bonuses and gifts. She also had to arrange the time for everyone’s vacation.
“l heard people whispering about taking vacations for the holidays when I went to the embroidery shop,” Ding Wan said, “Everyone’s pretty excited, but they don’t know how accurate the news is.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “Binglan, I told the workers at the tofu factory about your plans yesterday afternoon. 1 think they’re the ones who spread the news..”

Su Fengmao raised his brows. “No, that’s a good thing. It’s best to tell everyone immediately, especially because news spreads quickly here.”
This scenario made Su Binglan recall her experience in the modern world. She remembered the first half of the third year in high school being tense.
The schools of that era would arrange for their students to study for the after-winter exams only two days before the New Year. Everyone accepted this rule when the teachers came in and handed out the holiday forms.
The students discussed whether or not they should take an early vacation. Everyone was excited and wanted to go home early for the holidays.
It was not until the evening self-study sessions that the class teacher came to tell the students that the winter vacation would start on the following day. The class burst into an uproar, and everyone was ecstatic.
Su Binglan’s smile grew even wider when she recalled her time in the modern world.
“We just thought everyone would be thrilled to hear the news, so we couldn’t help ourselves and told them. 1 told Liu Qiao and Lin Dahua about it yesterday afternoon, and they were excited.
“Lin Dahua was the most excited since she kept smiling all afternoon. The people in the street could help but ask her what she was smiling about, so she probably told everyone about the early vacations.”
Su Binglan explained, “l didn’t want to tell everyone about their vacation yet because I also wanted to announce their early salaries, bonuses, and gifts. Also, since the winery profited a lot, every employee there will receive more bonuses.
“The embroidery shop and tofu factory did well, too, but I still need to calculate their bonuses. Let’s carefully calculate our profits and try to give everyone their bonuses and gifts tomorrow.”
Then Su Binglan handed a large number of silver notes to Shen Qiuhua, saying, “Mother, you and Father will be responsible for exchanging these into small change at the bank this afternoon since I don’t have enough copper coins. ”
Shen Qiuhua’s hands trembled when she looked at the many silver notes she held. “Binglan, this… That’s too much. I don’t dare to walk around with all this.”
Su Binglan wanted to summon her Shadow Guards to accompany her parents, but that would be too conspicuous and might even scare her parents. After all, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao still did not know their daughter was once Princess Lan Ruobing.
Ads by Pubfuture Suddenly, Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll go with them, Bing.”
Su Binglan could not feel more at ease with her husband accompanying her parents. After all, she knew how good her husband was at martial arts.
She could initially accompany her parents but had to go through the accounts in the afternoon. She had several accounts to check and calculate every one’s bonuses.
Fortunately, she had a photographic memory and could do mental calculations. Although she had many people’s bonuses to settle, she could calculate everything in just one afternoon.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao looked at their son-in-law suspiciously. Their impression of him was still that of the past, thinking he was weak and wondering if he could keep them safe.
However, the older couple considered it and realized their son-in-law had recovered exponentially. Ultimately, they knew they would be safe with him around. The older couple believed in their daughter’s arrangements, too.
Meanwhile, Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian attentively listened to Su Binglan’s arrangements.
Su Fengzhang asked, “Cousin Binglan, do we have to take an early break? I heard from the big guy that frequents the winery that he plans to buy from us during the New Year.”
Since staff could get discounts on alcohol, the workers planned to do so. Some of the staff’s relatives even asked them to buy wine using the staff discount. However, every worker was limited to how many bottles they could buy. Also, they could not buy alcohol from the winery at discounted prices to resell them. The winery imposed such a rule immediately after establishing the staff discount.
Nonetheless, the workers dared not do such a thing as resell the alcohol. After all, they could not earn as much as they did working at the winery. Moreover, no one would risk losing their coveted jobs at the winery just for a few extra coins.
The workers preferred saving money instead of buying alcohol at the winery. Even so, it was different when the New Year was approaching.
Since everyone had money for the celebration, they planned to buy some alcohol and store them at home for when the holidays began.
Moreover, the workers could buy alcohol at the winery at discounted prices, making it more cost-effective for them to entertain their guests during the New Year celebrations.
“Everyone will receive two bottles of wine as a year-end gift. So, the workers won’t have to buy alcohol.”
Su Wenxian and Su Fengzhang were shocked when they heard that. They realized how generous Su Binglan was to her employees. The father- son duo could imagine their employees’ excitement when they delivered the news the following day.
Ads by Pubfuture The duo would also feel good when giving the employees their year-end gifts.
That was because Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were in charge of the winery.
Su Binglan had other vital matters she would usually handle. She would usually leave the winerys management to her uncle and cousin. Moreover, the duo did their jobs well, making Su Binglan feel more at ease.
Meanwhile, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were responsible for the noodle shop. They were curious as to what Su Binglan would offer their workers. “Binglan, will you be giving the noodle shop workers gifts, too?”
“Of course. I plan to do the same for the noodle shop, tofu factory, embroidery shop, and hotpot restaurants. Everyone will receive two bottles of wine, a box of instant noodles, a set of bedding, and a box of tofu products.”
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard that. They thought it was too much and that those who did not work for the Su family would be envious.
“All that?!” Su Wenxiu was astounded.
Su Binglan looked at him and suddenly remembered something. She said,
“Your apprentices will receive those gifts, too, Second Brother.”
Fortunately, Su Binglan had included many things in her inventory. If not, she would not have enough for that many employees.
Su Wenwu returned home in the middle of the night and heard his sister’s arrangements. He said, “Sister, is that why you told me to prepare more hotpot seasonings?”
Su Binglan had sent a letter to Su Wenwu long ago. Although Su Wenwu did not know the reason for his sister’s letter, he did as his sister asked. Still, he did not expect her to prepare this many things just to give to the employees as
“It’s also a form of advertising, even though they’re gifts, you know?” Su Binglan smiled. “The best time to visit relatives is during January. No matter how far one’s relatives are, everyone will visit and show off how good our products are.
“That way, it’ll be more convenient for us to promote our businesses. We’ll also expand our market after New Year. Wenwu, you’ll have to open more hotpot restaurants outside of Tenghe Town.”
In the past, Su Binglan had many concerns and had to protect her husband.
She also did not want anyone to know Luo Jin’an was in Su Teng Village. However, she no longer had to worry since regaining her memories and learning about her true identity.
Su Binglan wanted to help Lan Ruozhu develop Dingzhou. The duo also wanted to do their best to control the power of other states through economic means.
Su Wenwu felt more motivated when he heard his sister’s words. He said, “Don’t worry, Little Sister. Our hotpot restaurants are popular enough to expand even further. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan furrowed her brows when she heard about the Ye family. Her mind returned to the time when Lan Ruobing was there. She had seen the Ye family’s young master before.
To be exact, the Ye family’s young master was the family’s young lady. The Ye family was once the wealthiest in the South. They had many businesses, but several of them later encountered issues.
The Ye family either got annexed or forced out of the market by other family businesses. The family was quite complicated internally, and Young Lady Ye was the only member of the direct bloodline.
Therefore, she dressed up and pretended to be a man to protect the family’s main bloodline. It was difficult for a woman, especially in this era, to disguise herself as a man to manage the family business, so Su Binglan greatly admired Young Lady Ye.
“Oh?” Su Binglan raised her brows. “You’ve interacted with Young ‘Master’ Ye before?”
“Yes, I’ve been running the hotpot restaurants in other towns and cities recently, so I see Young Master Ye quite often. I think he has a good person and is very knowledgeable.
“He doesn’t have the habits of a profligate son at all. He’s also honest and even helped me once. I befriended him and considered him a close friend. “We sometimes went out for dinner, and he would treat me to local dishes I didn’t know about. I also treated him to hotpot once in a while.”
Su Binglan’s eyes flashed with interest. “So, you and ‘him’ are super close friends?”
Su Wenwu did not know what his sister was thinking and answered honestly, “Of course. Didn’t you encourage me to make more friends? I just think Young
Master Ye is outstanding.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan scanned her third brother’s expression and became curious. @@novelbin@@
‘l wonder how Third Brother will react if I tell him Ye Feiran is a woman, not a man. I’m looking forward to seeing his reaction. As far as I can remember, Ye Feiran isn’t a simple woman.
‘If she were as innocent as most women, others would’ve discovered her identity long ago, putting her family in danger.’
When Ye Feiran was just a few years old, her entire family almost perished. However, her family survived, and she grew into a fine young lady. Although her family could not compare to the wealthiest family in the South, the Ye family was still medium-sized.
‘Ye Feiran is capable and resourceful. If such a person is willing to call my brother a close friend, it means Wenwu is doing well in Ye Feiran’s eyes. Still, Wenwu is pure and upright and also stubborn. Perhaps that’s what attracted Ye Feiran.’
Su Binglan took a closer look at her third brother. She felt she was handsome and gave off a healthy and robust demeanor. Su Wenwu’s martial arts skills were commendable, too, and he had been working hard to improve them. ‘He should have many advantages with Ye Feiran.’
Su Wenwu noticed his sister staring at him weirdly. He asked, “Little Sister, why are you looking at me like that?”
‘Why do I have a chill running down my spine?’
Su Binglan smiled gently, saying, “You’re probably overthinking, Wenwu. I was just thinking of how well you’ve been doing recently. You’ve opened quite a few more restaurants, after all. Business is excellent, too.’
Su Wenwu sighed in relief when he heard his sister’s words.
Su Binglan added, “You can consider working with the Ye family after the New
Year, but I’ll have to tell you the details.”
Ads by Pubfuture Since the Ye family was complicated, Su Binglan had to be careful if she wanted to open a hotpot restaurant in the south.
Su Binglan agreed to continue working with Su Wenwu because she thought she could bring many good opportunities in the South to the North, for example, crayfish, fruits, and vegetables.
It would be a win-win situation if the Ye family cooperated with the Su family.
Moreover, the Ye family was not enemies with the deceased royal’s mansion. Instead, the latter had a good relationship with the Ye family.
“I know, Little Sister. I’ll be cautious and review the contract before letting you check things out.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Good.”
Afterward, Su Binglan checked the accounts and calculated everyone’s bonuses in the afternoon. The others also checked the accounts and saw no issues. Then Su Binglan would give the employees their bonuses tomorrow.
However, Su Fengzhang and the others were stunned when they saw the year-end bonuses. Each manager would have more than ten silver taels. Even ordinary employees would receive the same amount.
“Everyone will be thrilled.”
In the evening, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua put a lot of silver in baskets and carried them on their backs. Fortunately, others could not see what was inside.
Still, Su Fengmao and his wife were nervous. They feared others would see all the money they were carrying. Even Luo Jin’an carried a basket of money.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao did not know Wei Ying was following and protecting them in the shadows. The older couple was safe with Luo Jin’an and Wei Ying around.

An elite troop was also nearby. If Wei Ying sent out a signal flare, the troops would swiftly appear to protect the older couple.
Meanwhile, even Su Fengzhi, Su Fengchen, and the other Su family members were excited to give their employees their year-end bonuses. Everyone was also preparing to rest for the holidays.
After all, they had worked hard to earn as much as possible to have a fantastic New Year. They looked forward to going to town to celebrate the New Year with their families.
Everyone was eager to shop in town because the shops would be closed for the New Year.
Su Fengzhi planned to give his employees free charcoal for the celebrations, while Su Fengchen planned to distribute cured sausages, braised chicken, and roast duck to his workers.
Meanwhile, Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun had been busy setting up their shop at the dormitory entrance the whole day. Also, Mrs. Du brought a few people over to help, according to Su Binglan’s instructions.
Even Su Wenxing helped by making the small cart for the grandmother and granddaughter.
Many people used small carts to sell things in town. They got their carts from Su Wenxings shop because he made them easy to use and sold them at affordable prices.
Old Madam Yang and her granddaughter started making multi-grain pancakes at their small stall.
No one around Tenghe Town had made such a thing, and Su Binglan only made them for her family. Moreover, the Su family had their own businesses. No one even considered setting up a stall to sell multi-grain pancakes.
Once the grandmother and granddaughter started cooking, the fragrance from the multi-grain pancakes wafted through the air.
When the employees of the embroidery shop, winery, and noodle shop got off work, they were amazed when they smelled the fragrance.
“What smells so good?”
“It seems to be coming from the dormitory. Is someone cooking something delicious or reheating a meal?”
“It doesn’t seem like it. The dormitory is a little far from here. The fragrance can’t have drifted so far. It smells terrific, different from the food I used to eat.”
“Did Miss Su come up with another delicacy?” “Look, smoke is coming from over there.”
“Multi-grain pancakes?”
“When did a multi-grain pancake stall open here?”

Everyone looked at Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun’s stall with wonder because the weather was too cold. Their stomachs growled when they smelled the tempting fragrance.
“Have you ever eaten multi- grain pancakes?”
“No, I haven’t.’
“I’ve never seen a stall that sells them, so 1 don’t know how they taste.”
“It smells quite fragrant, so it should be delicious.”
“Why don’t we go over and take a look?”
Many people were in the embroidery stall, so everyone went to take a look together. They had money now and were willing to buy food on the weekends.
If it were in the past, they would not go to any stall, regardless of how
fragrant the food smelled, because they were afraid of overspending.
However, things had changed, and people would eat together after work. They dared not buy anything before.
Ads by Pubfuture Everyone went to the stall together, and a few people were already there eating pancakes. Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun made pancakes for these few people because they had helped the duo set up their stall. @@novelbin@@
Those few people were full of praise for the duo’s cooking. Mrs. Du said smilingly, “The pancakes you two made are delicious. I’ve never had such a tasty pancake. It tastes unique.”
“Yes, it’s fragrant and crispy.”
“l didn’t expect the batter to be so fluffy.”
The most essential part of the multi- grain pancake was the batter. Su Binglan had taught Old Madam Yang how to make it so that the older woman would have something to make a living within Su Teng Village.
Su Binglan knew Old Madam Yang was not one to stay idle. Even if Yang Xiaoxun wanted her grandmother to stay home and rest, the latter would refuse.
Old Madam Yang resembled Su Binglan’s grandparents and could enjoy life now. Still, they felt restless staying home all day. Sometimes, they would feel uncomfortable if they were idle for too long.
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su helped Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi daily by looking after their stall. The older couple felt their lives would be more fulfilling if they did not stay idle and let their thoughts run wild.
Thus, Su Binglan understood it was good to keep busy but not tire oneself out.
Old Madam Yang was making pancakes and was delighted when people praised her cooking. Moreover, she did not feel tired doing this.
She and her granddaughter used to work in the fields and exhaust themselves in their home village. It was much more tiring than opening a stall. That was much easier than working in the fields.
“Since you think they’re delicious, I’ll make more for you and your children.”
Mrs. Du waved and said, “There’s no need. I’m staying at the dormitory now and won’t be returning since 1 no longer have to worry about my two children.
Ads by Pubfuture I typically eat alone, anyway.”
Mrs. Du knew the struggles Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun had experienced. Her heart ached for them, and she could not bear to take free pancakes from the older woman, mainly because it was not easy to make one.
Mrs. Du even planned to tell her two children to visit Old Madam Yangs stall to buy her pancakes.
Old Madam Yang was touched. She did not expect the people of Su Teng Village to be so kind and enthusiastic about helping her and her granddaughter.
She felt a warmth she had never felt before, and so did her granddaughter. Therefore, Old Madam Yang added more vegetables and other ingredients to the multi- grain pancakes for those who had helped her.
Old Madam Yang felt excellent, and her body was full of energy. She only wanted to earn money to buy a house in Su Teng Village or save up to build one.
With that thought in mind, Old Madam Yang felt energized, unlike when she lived in her home village. In the past, she felt muddleheaded and did not know what to do. Now, she was full of hope and strength to do things.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoxun finished making more batter in the back and brought it to the front. She felt pained to see Old Madam Yang work so hard, saying, “Grandma, you should rest and let me take over.
Old Madam Yang said, “It’s okay. I don’t feel tired at all.”
As they talked, more people appeared near the shop. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw Yang Xiaoxun. They thought she looked beautiful and had excellent skin.
“Miss, are you selling multi- grain pancakes?”
Yang Xiaoxun nodded and said, “Yes, this is the price of one pancake. It’s three copper each, but you can also add eggs.”
Ads by Pubfuture
She and her grandmother ran a small business to make a living. They considered their prices reasonable, mainly because their pancakes were so big.
Since they only had humble ingredients, they could only offer to add eggs to their pancakes. However, they planned to add more options when they had more ingredients.
Someone said, “Mrs. Du, you’re here too?”
Mrs. Du replied smilingly, “That’s right. That’s Yang Xiaoxun and her grandmother, who just moved here. Miss Su brought them to our village.”
Everyone was polite to the grandmother and granddaughter when they heard Su Binglan was the one who brought them to the village.
Mrs. Du said, “Their multi-grain pancakes are delicious. Miss Su helped them develop it.”
Everyone bought the pancakes and ate them. They thought it was fragrant and crispy and were full of praise for the food.
More people arrived to take a look. They saw the customers in the front eating and complementing the food, so they bought some too. Some even bought a few more for their families at home.
Even the employees of the winery and noodle shop went to buy the pancakes and saw a long queue there. Although many people lined up at the stall, Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun worked together and fulfilled everyone’s orders.
After finishing work at night, Old Madam Yang and her granddaughter closed the stall and excitedly returned to their dormitory with the money they had earned.
Old Madam Yang poured the money from her purse onto the table, her hands trembling. She and her granddaughter did not expect to earn so much in just one night.
Although the profit was small, the duo sold hundreds of pancakes in one evening. They earned a few hundred copper coins in one evening. Yang Xiaoxun was so excited that she could not fall asleep.
‘Now that we know how to make multi- grain pancakes, we no longer have to worry about starving.’
Meanwhile, the embroidery shop and tofu factory employees discussed similar things on the way home.
“Miss Shen wants us to go to work tomorrow as usual, even those on leave. I wonder what’s going on.”
“Maybe she wants to inform us about our vacations?”
“That can’t be. If so, we can tell each other when we’re off work. It’s not like we must go to the factory, right?”
“Indeed, it must be something important, then..”

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one knew what Shen Qiuhua or Su Fengmao would say the following day. Still, everyone had their guesses.
“Did someone violate the rules?”
“That’s also possible. Is that what Miss Shen wants to address? Who would be so foolish to break the rules?”
“If that’s not it, what is?”
“Even if we were to receive bonuses in the past, those on leave wouldn’t have to come in, right? They would just receive their bonus when they returned to work the following day.”
“You’re right. I wonder what’s happening. After all, Miss Su has returned, so who knows what could happen?”
“Will someone get fired?”
Everyone’s faces paled at that last question. They feared getting fired, mainly because the tofu factory paid and treated them well. Everyone cherished their jobs dearly and worked hard. They would not dare to slack off.
They knew if they did not work hard, many others would be willing to fight for their spot at the tofu factory. Therefore, no one was foolish enough to break the rules.
Some wondered if they had done a good enough job to keep their place at the tofu factory, while others overthought the situation and could not sleep that night.
A few employees scared themselves with negative thoughts, and others were quite curious about what would happen at the tofu factory the following day. They thought Su Binglan would have something good to announce.
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, everyone in the Su family had done their accounting and prepared gifts in the afternoon. Then they waited until the following morning to distribute the gifts and bonuses to the employees.
The tofu factory employees were still speculating about what would happen when they went to work that morning. Moreover, Shen Qiuhua had called a few factory managers to discuss some things with them.
After a while, Lin Dahua, Liu Qiao, and a few more people returned smilingly. Lin Dahua smiled so brightly that her eyes narrowed into slits. She could not hide her excitement.
Liu Qiao also could not stop smiling and giggling.
When the employees saw their managers faces, they figured it was something good. As expected, Shen Qiuhua put down a large basket and said, “l told everyone to come into work today for a special announcement.
“We will be closed from today until the Lantern Festival and will return to work on the 15th of January.”
Everyone present was ecstatic when they heard the news. Some became wide-eyed, while others had their mouths agape. Even so, they thought they had misheard Shen Qiuhua.
Everyone knew they would have an early holiday but did not expect to be on leave until the 15th of January.
“Will our vacation last that long?” “That’s almost a month long!’
“Am I hallucinating?”
Some were so excited their palms were sweating. Everyone returned to their senses and looked at each other. They realized it was true from the look in each other’s eyes.
After a while, someone asked, “Is it true, Miss Shen?”
In the past, everyone would have nothing to do after the autumn harvest, so it was equivalent to a work vacation. However, it felt different this time.
They would feel at ease and secure if they were on vacation because their families’ conditions would be even better next year since they still had jobs and monthly salaries.
Ads by Pubfuture A vacation wholly differed from being idle at home after the autumn harvest. Therefore, everyone was ecstatic about the upcoming holidays.
Shen Qiuhua chuckled. “Of course, it’s true. We’ll also be giving out this month’s salary in advance and your year-end bonuses.”
“What?!”
“We’re receiving year-end bonuses?! ”
“This month has just started, and they’re already giving out wages and bonuses?”
“What’s a year-end bonus? Is it the same as a regular bonus?”
Everyone was puzzled and slightly doubtful. However, the employees could not suppress their excitement. After all, they would have an early vacation, receive early wages, and receive year-end bonuses.
“Ah! It’s so exciting!’
“Now that I think about it, I can go home and prepare early for the New Year, especially with my early salary and bonus.”
“It feels different from our free time after the autumn harvest.’
Shen Qiuhua added, “The year-end bonus is for everyone to have a better New Year celebration.’
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard her words. The employees stood upright and attentively listened to Shen Qiuhua. They feared they would miss out on any vital information.
Most also thought about how much more silver they would receive.
Ads by Pubfuture
“Will our New Year bonus be more than usual? Will we get three silver taels this time instead of two?”
“The month has just begun, so our bonus should only be for these few work days, right? Miss Su must want us to have a better New Year.”
Everyone tried guessing how much they would receive as a bonus. Then Shen Qiuhua first called the managers to collect their salaries and year-end bonuses.
Liu Qiao was the first tofu factory manager. She performed excellently and was earnest about her work, so her bonus was high. When she saw the twelve silver taels as her salary and bonus, she was so shocked she froze.
Her hands trembled as she held the money, while her eyes widened as she asked herself in disbelief, “R-Really? Is this real?!”
Shen Qiuhua handed her the money and said, “There are gifts here. Each person will receive a box of tofu products, two bottles of wine, a box of instant noodles, and some hotpot ingredients.
“Everyone, please collect your gifts and bonuses. After that, you can all return home and prepare for the New Year.”
Liu Qiao felt like she was about to faint. She was so stunned she could barely feel her legs.
Shen Qiuhua asked, “What’s wrong?”
Liu Qiao returned to her senses and quickly shook her head. “I-I’m fine, Miss
Shen.’
“It’s good that you’re okay. Distribute the gifts and go home to rest.” Shen Qiuhua did not know Liu Qiao was still dizzy from the surprise.
Liu Qiao felt like her whole body was numb, and her heart raced. She went to take the things, but her hands trembled uncontrollably. Still, she could not help but smile.
Liu Qiao was typically quiet and steady, and everyone knew her well. They felt it was strange to see her acting so erratically.
“What happened?” @@novelbin@@
“Liu Qiao isn’t usually like this.”
“Don’t worry. I think Liu Qiao is shocked since she received so much money.”
“l didn’t expect to receive my salary this early. Not only that, but we also get an early vacation, year-end bonuses, and gifts.”
“Everything is perfect! “

Next, everyone went forward to collect their year-end bonuses and gifts. They were so excited when they saw their bonuses that they felt a little dizzy.
Some held the charcoal pen to tick their names to indicate they had received their bonus, but their hands trembled. They only knew it was real when Shen Qiuhua placed the silver in their hands.
“Thank you, Miss Shen.”
Everyone did not know what else to say besides thank you. Not only did Shen Qiuhua give the employees an extended vacation, but she also gave them so much silver and lovely gifts.
Everyone knew how difficult instant noodles were to come by, not to mention wine. The employees no longer needed to buy wine for New Year. They also received many other things as gifts.
They felt warmth in their bodies and palms. They looked down at the silver they held and could not stop smiling.
Shen Qiuhua was busy the entire morning distributing everyone’s bonuses and gifts. “All right, your vacation has officially begun. Everyone can go home and rest. I will see you at work again on the 15th of January.”
When she left, the employees were in an uproar.
“Miss Shen and her daughter are too kind.” “They even gave us such a lovely gift basket.”
“Don’t forget our bonuses. How much did you get?”
“l got eight silver taels.”
“l got eight silver, too! I was so shocked when I noticed how much I got.”
“l felt the same. I couldn’t look away from the money I held. Fortunately, Miss Shen didn’t laugh at me. I was ecstatic, even now!”
Ads by Pubfuture “My parents will be thrilled when I show them the gift basket and how much I earned.’
“l plan to bring my family to the town market later to buy the children’s favorite things.”
“I’m going shopping in town, too. Then I’ll go home and make hotpot with the ingredients I got in the gift basket.”
“That hotpot seasoning is an exclusive recipe the Su family doesn’t sell. It seems they’re giving these to their employees only.”
“l plan to buy cloth to make new clothes for my family. I can’t bear to let them wear their old clothes during the New Year celebrations.”
“That’s right. We can have a good New Year this time, mainly because we have extended vacations. The Su family is so kind to their employees.”
The tofu factory employees excitedly chatted as they carried their things home. Most factory workers lived in Su Teng Village; the rest were from the surrounding villages.
After leaving work, everyone happily went home, walking briskly on the road. Although the employees had many things to carry, they felt energized and did not mind carrying them.
At almost noon, the villagers came out to bask in the sun and chat. Some went to their courtyards to bring home firewood for cooking, while others went to
the mountain when the snow melted.
At that moment, the villagers saw the tofu factory employees rushing home like a swarm of bees, carrying their gift baskets.
“Welcome home, Granddaughter.”
“Hello, my dear daughter.”
“How was work, my dear daughter-in-law?”
When the employees returned from the tofu factory, the villagers noticed them carrying a large basket of items. The villagers wondered if the tofu factory had gone overboard with gifts again.
“Why are they carrying so many things? Some of those items look like wine.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Are those instant noodles?”
Previously, everyone had tried instant noodles and thought it was fresh. They wanted to buy some but could not because they instantly sold out. The villagers’ eyes lit up when they saw the gift baskets.
“Did the tofu factory give you all that?”
“Yes, all the employees received these today, Mom and Dad. We also got an advance on our wages and year-end bonuses.”
Since it was no secret, and everyone wanted to know what had happened, the employees quickly shared the news with their families when they reached home.
“R-Really?! I didn’t expect the tofu factory to give you an extended holiday.” Lin Juan carefully told her parents, “l received my bonus.”
Lin Juan’s parents hurriedly helped their children with the gift baskets and went inside smilingly.
“Sister, Sister,” Lin Juan’s younger brother happily followed her into the house.
Lin Juan’s parents were so shocked when their daughter told them she had received eight silver taels as a bonus that they almost fainted.
They were excited and asked their daughter about the bonus several times. Lin Juan smiled and explained to her parents that it was all true. She even showed them the silver.
The family was so happy that their mouths were agape.
“Let’s have something delicious to celebrate. You’ve worked hard, Juan. I’ll make your favorite braised pork and ribs.”
Lin Juan’s brother was still young, so he looked at his sister with admiration, saying, ‘You’re amazing, Sister!”
Many families had the same situation. After all, the tofu factory was not the only place that handed out gift baskets and bonuses that day. The embroidery shop, winery, and noodle shop did the same things.
Everyone was thrilled when they discovered they would receive two bottles of wine. They all thanked Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian for the wine. After all, the father- son duo was responsible for the winery.
Ads by Pubfuture
Su Fengzhang said, “There’s no need to thank us. It’s all my niece’s idea. If you want to show your gratitude, please thank her. She hasn’t sat still since returning and is busy handing out bonuses and gift baskets to everyone.
“Although the winery only opened recently, everyone was earnest about their work. The sales of our wine were excellent, so we could afford to give everyone a generous year-end bonus.”
The winery employees had higher bonuses than the tofu factory workers because the winery’s profit margin was much more significant. The employees excitedly walked home after receiving their bonuses and gift baskets.
The employees of the embroidery shop and noodle shop also took their things home.
Today, Su Teng Village, Willow Village, Stone Village, and the surrounding villages celebrated a festival. Every household was thrilled. @@novelbin@@
Some families had two members working for the Su family and received twice the bonus. That made the family very excited.
Almost all the nearby villages had people working for the Su family.
Therefore, many households were even more lively on this day than a festival.
Therefore, many families were even more lively on this day than a festival.
Especially when everyone took so many gifts home together, it formed the most beautiful scenery.
The entire village was alarmed.
Everyone ran out to take a look when they heard the news.
They were all stunned.
When they found out that Miss Su had sent it to the employees, everyone was shocked.
How could it be so good?
Not long after, smoke rose from the chimneys of every house. Everyone was cooking delicious food.
Many families even took out their wine and poured some out for the whole family to drink together.
A family working in the noodle shop was filled with emotions when they sat together to eat.
“It’s a good thing that Miss Su built a noodle shop later on. Finally, there are people in our family who work in Miss Su’s shop to receive bonuses and gifts.”
“Yes, these are all good things. Daughter, well done.”
“Come, come, daughter. These are all your favorite dishes. Eat more..”

The girls, valued by their parents, smiled when they saw their parents’ enthusiasm. It made the girls feel more confident.
In the past, most villagers had old-fashioned thoughts and valued boys more than girls. However, they saw how promising the girls were. The girls could also work hard and earn money, making everyone pay more attention to them.
Most families realized daughters and sons had similar strengths. As parents, they felt their children were hardworking. The parents were incredibly proud of their children.
Moreover, some families had three children working for the Su family. That meant the family would receive three times the amount of gifts and year-end bonuses. The six bottles of wine they received were worth plenty of money.
The families did not have to buy wine for the holidays because of the excellent quality wine their children received from the Su family.
They also had exclusive hotpot ingredients. They could make hotpots at home instead of going to restaurants. They also had three times the tofu products and instant noodles.
Shi Zhengshan and his wife lived in Stone Village and had three daughters. Most people in Stone Village still believed only boys could care for their parents when their parents got old, and daughters were useless.
Shi Zhengshan did not have sons. He felt ashamed in front of his family because of that. His parents never took him seriously, and his wife suffered tremendously.
However, Shi Zhengshan felt guilty and never blamed his parents. His wife was good and responsible. She never held grudges with her in-laws and focused on living her life.
Ads by Pubfuture Shi Zhengshan’s daughters were sensible and had helped the family since they were children. The three girls worked harder when others laughed and mocked them about having no brothers.
When they got older, they would help with the fieldwork. They were experts on the inside and outside. Everyone thought Shi Zhengshan had raised his daughters well but knew they had to marry into other families.
Even if Shi Zhengshan raised his daughters well, they would eventually belong to someone else. However, the Su family opened the tofu factory then and only hired females.
Since the Su family only hired girls, everyone realized how essential girls were. A girl’s monthly income was equivalent to the village’s annual income from farming crops.
Some families only had boys, so they could not send their sons to work at the factory. Later, the Su family expanded the factory and hired people from other villages.
Shi Zhengshan’s eldest daughter went for an interview and passed with flying colors. He heard the Su family had asked about his eldest daughter, and most said his family was trustworthy. People also spoke highly about his daughters, saying they were capable and dutiful.
When the embroidery shop started hiring people later on, his second daughter went for an interview and got the job. Then the noodle shop opened, and his third daughter got the job.
Shi Zhengshan was stunned, especially when his niece and nephew did not get the job.
Many people in Stone Village went for multiple interviews, even his nieces. However, none got the job. When the winery opened, his three siblings’ children went for interviews, but none got the job.
Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters were the only ones from his entire family to work for the Su family.
Only Shi Zhengshan’s children got jobs working for the Su family because his family had good morals and temperaments. His brothers, who looked down on him, now looked at him enviously because of that.
Ads by Pubfuture Even his parents became more enthusiastic toward him. They no longer showed him a nasty attitude as they did in the past. They treated Shi Zhengshan as if he was the most considerate son.
Shi Zhengshan and his wife no longer felt inferior because their three daughters made them proud. Now, he and his wife walked around the village confidently.
Shi Zhengshan’s voice was paramount to his parents and brothers during family meetings. Therefore, Shi Zhengshan was most grateful to the Su family because he could hold his head high.
When someone from the Stone Village saw Shi Zhengshan, they said, “Zhengshan, your family must be prosperous now. You should have three times the gifts and bonuses now.”
Shi Zhengshan smiled widely. Still, he spoke modestly, “Oh, yes. I heard your son is doing well in the winery. I heard the bosses often praise him.”
The man said smilingly, “My son is perfect. He’s sensible and hardworking. He cares for and helps us at home. Still, my son only received one gift basket compared to your three daughters earning one each. You should have six bottles of wine, then.’
The wine the employees received was no ordinary wine that others could easily buy. After all, most people had to pre-order their wine since the shop sold out so often.
Even locals could not buy as much as they wanted because foreigners had ordered long ago, so they had to wait their turn.
The man’s son said the winery had limited stock, so he could only buy wine sometimes. Most people still had trouble getting wine for themselves.
The man was excited when his son received two bottles of wine in his gift basket. However, he never considered Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters to bring home two bottles of wine each, totaling six bottles of wine.
The man even considered buying the wine from Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters.

Those who enjoyed drinking wine knew how good the Su family’s wine tasted. Nonetheless, Shi Zhengshan could not bear to sell his daughters’ wine. After all, they would need the wine for relatives visiting during the New Year to entertain their guests.
Other villagers saw Shi Zhengshan, and one of them said, “You’re famous now.
No, you’re not famous, but your three daughters are,”
“Everyone knows about your three sunflowers that are your daughters.
They’re good-natured, capable, and can earn money.”
Shi Zhengshan could not stop smiling as he said, “Everyone keeps praising them.”
He was happy even though he said so. He felt he could walk around the village with his head held high now. @@novelbin@@
Not only were the people of Stone Village happy, but Su Tengs villagers also smiled at noon. After all, each family’s living conditions had improved exponentially.
Lin Chai and Miss He were carrying their gift baskets when they returned home from work. Lin Chai went to work at the winery when he stopped stuttering.
Miss He had been working in the embroidery shop while her eldest son learned medicine from Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Their eldest son had gathered plenty of knowledge from the Su siblings.
Previously, Lin Chai and Miss He’s eldest son helped bandage people’s wounds after the earthquake. People constantly praised Lin Chai and Miss He’s children.
Their second and third sons were also sensible. They knew their parents and eldest brother were busy, so they helped with the housework and cooking.
When Lin Chai and Miss He got home, they put away the things they had received from their bosses. The couple remained composed, but their two sons were thrilled when they saw the gift baskets.
Miss He said, “I’ll make instant noodles for everyone tonight.”
Instant noodles became harder to buy since many children enjoyed eating them.
“Woo-hoo!” The two younger boys were ecstatic.
At that moment, Lin Shu returned with his gift basket. The two parents were stunned when they saw their eldest son’s basket..

Lin Chai and Miss He did not understand why their son had a similar gift basket since Lin Shu did not work in Su Binglan’s businesses. He only learned medicine from Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.
The family was stunned and only returned to their senses after a while.
Lin Shu happily said, “Look, I got a gift from my teacher. He told all the apprentices to take these home for the New Year.”
Lin Shu was carrying many things. They were a little heavy, and he could hardly lift them. He could only leave the Su family’s house when Su Wenxiu helped him with the basket.
Lin Chai and Miss He only returned to their senses when they heard their eldest son’s voice. The couple quickly went to help Lin Shu with his things. Miss He asked, “Why did your teacher give you a gift basket too?”
Logically speaking, the couple did not expect Lin Shu to receive a gift basket because he only studied medicine with Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Not only did Su Wenxiu allow his apprentices to study for free, but his family also gave his students gift baskets.
Lin Chai and his family did not know how to express their gratitude. The family’s lives had improved, and they wanted to thank Su Binglan.
Lin Shu said, “My teachers told us they should give us these things because we’re his students. They wanted us to go home and celebrate the New Year with our families.’
Miss He patted her son’s head and said, “You must remember your teachers’ kindness and study well. You must study even harder after the holidays. Help your teachers and be more diligent.”
Lin Shu listened carefully. He said, “1 know, Mother.”

He knew Su Binglan was the one who cured his parents. It was because of that his family’s lives improved. His family barely had enough to eat in the past. Now, they could eat well.
It was understandable that the tofu factory and embroidery shop employees brought home gifts because it was the employees’ welfare. Everyone was shocked when even Su Wenxiu’s students returned home with gifts.
“Students can learn for free and also receive gift baskets?”
“Shouldn’t students be the ones giving gifts to teachers? Am I missing something?”
No matter how confused everyone was, it was a fact that the students brought home gifts. Everyone knew there were many benefits to working with Su Binglan, even learning from her.
Everyone decided to send their children to Su Binglan to learn things if she recruited more students in the future. Many also hoped she could open more factories and shops so that she would hire more people.
Then these families could also earn monthly salaries and bonuses. Then they would feel more at ease and buy more things to improve their lives.
Since no one could predict next year’s harvest, no one dared to spend their hard-earned money carelessly. Still, they could not solely rely on crops.
Su Binglan felt more relaxed after settling everyone’s bonuses and gifts. She felt like she had already arranged everything for the New Year.
She stayed home in the afternoon to quickly write her drama script. She even prepared to rehearse some of the more straightforward stories so that people could quickly understand this performance genre.
After everyone understood her play, she would create other stories for them to learn more.
Su Binglan titled the drama she wrote “The Concubine.” The story was something simple and easier for commoners to comprehend. Moreover, the drama would not have many supporting characters, so the script would not be complicated.

Many could not sing well without a foundation if they wanted to make it an opera performance. Su Binglan considered using a melody to convey her message.
She had already written the lines, so Yang Xiaoxun could play the role of the female consort. Most of the other roles she created were supporting, and finding people to play them was easier.
When Su Binglan took the script to Yang Xiaoxun, she saw the young lady and her grandmother busy at their stall.
Since all the Su family’s employees were on holiday, many queued at the pancake stall to buy multigrain pancakes. Moreover, the stall stood between Tenghe Town, Willow Village, and Stone Village.
Everyone had tried the duo’s pancakes yesterday and thought they were delicious, so they went to buy more the following day.
Since most people did not have much to do this afternoon, they decided to get some pancakes today because they did not have time to do so yesterday. A few people from the surrounding villages also came to buy the pancakes everyone was raving about.
The customers chatted while waiting their turn in the long queue.
“Did you come to Su Teng Village to shop for the holidays?”
“Yes, Miss Su is a great person. She gave me an extended vacation, so I have plenty of time to prepare for the New Year.”
“Me too. I planned to come here to buy braised pork, cured sausages, and a few multigrain pancakes for my children to try.”
“l also came here to buy cured meats, but the store is closed for the holidays. I heard many businesses are closed at this time of year. Still, I came to buy things from Su Teng Market.”
“The workers at the cured meats store also have an extended vacation. 1 heard they also received gift baskets containing a crate of cured meat, braised chicken, roast duck, and salted eggs.”

“The Su family are gracious people. People can work for them without worry, but it’s not easy to get a job from them.”
“That’s right. I joined during the Su family’s first hiring.”
“The girls from the embroidery shop spoke highly of the pancakes they sell here. They said they’re delicious.”
“l planned to get something to eat yesterday, but after receiving my gift basket, I no longer cared about eating and ran straight home.”
“Hahaha, I couldn’t wait to get home, too. My parents were even happier than me. They even made several of my favorite dishes that noon.”
While chatting, everyone turned and saw Su Binglan. Everyone was excited when they saw her.
“Miss Su!”
“Hello, Miss stu
“We didn’t expect to see you here.”
Everyone greeted Su Binglan simultaneously.
Su Binglan smiled at them, asking, “Is everyone here to buy pancakes?”
“Yes, we heard the pancakes are delicious, so we came to try them for ourselves.’ @@novelbin@@
“All right, I’ll head inside now.” Su Binglan entered and looked for Yang
Xiaoxun.
When Yang Xiaoxun saw Su Binglan, she was so excited that she could barely hold the spatula. “M-Miss Su! Hello there!”
Su Binglan greeted Old Madam Yang, then told Yang Xiaoxun, “l finished writing the script. Come with me. You can start practicing your lines and training your voice.”
Yang Xiaoxun put down the spatula and excitedly followed Su Binglan to the
Su family’s home..
