Su Binglan said, “Wow, they’re quite busy then.”
She had always known that grilled chicken and roast duck would be famous, but not to this extent. Nonetheless, she was sincerely happy for her uncle.
“Are grandma and grandpa well?” Su Binglan worried about her grandparents’ health, mainly because they were so busy. When she previously operated on Su Fengchen, she also checked on her grandparents’ health conditions and found they were in good health.
Perhaps Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were healthy because they were
active and ate healthy foods.
Shen Qiuhua put down the things she brought home and said, “Your grandparents are okay. I’ve never seen them so happy, but I understand why they would be. They’re just delighted to have something to look forward to and to see your uncle improving.
“Some have good spirits and won’t feel tired even if they do more work. Time passes faster, and your grandparents said they sleep well too. Well, since their business is good, they can keep themselves busy.
“Fortunately, your uncle can sell plenty of grilled chicken and roast duck, so your grandparents have a lot of work daily. Still, they might have too many customers.”
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “We can save them a lot of trouble if we can build a factory and work on an assembly line.”
“What’s a factory?” Shen Qiuhua heard her daughter saying something she did not understand.
Su Binglan explained as she fried the potato pancake, “It’s an extensive workshop that the people we hire work in and mass produce something.”
Initially, Shen Qiuhua did not understand what her daughter said, but after hearing Su Binglan’s explanation, she understood a little more.
Su Binglan intended to build a factory when she bought more land as she had many plans. If she could develop the area, the villagers would benefit from it and improve their household conditions. Then people would not freeze or starve to death during the winter.
There were many villagers around the town, and each village had different conditions. The ones closer to town were in better shape, while the more remote ones were less fortunate.
Since Su Binglan came to this world, she had hoped to do something about that. Nonetheless, she thought it was fine as long as she tried her best.
Meanwhile, Baili Jinghua quietly drew the firewood as Shen Qiuhua placed the grilled chicken and roast duck on the stove. Baili Jinghua could smell the fragrance wafting from the two dishes.
Su Binglan had brought Baili Jinghua and her son to eat several delicacies in the afternoon, and Baili Jinghua had just eaten snacks. After all that, she and her son should be full. However, Baili Jinghua became hungry again after smelling the wonderful fragrance.
Su Teng Village was an excellent place with plenty of delicious foods, and Baili Jinghua wanted to earn money to buy some for herself and Baili Xihong. After listening to Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua, she knew the grilled chicken and roast duck came from Su Teng Village.
If Baili Jinghua and her son settled in Su Teng Village, it would be convenient for her to buy the two dishes without leaving the village. It was simply a wonderful thought to have.
Of course, Baili Jinghua knew Su Binglan had spent a lot of money to entertain her and her son. She did not want to take advantage of it but remembered Su Binglan’s favors. Baili Jinghua wanted to repay Su Binglan’s kindness.
Soon after, Su Fengmao ran home cheerfully. He could not stay still anymore since his foot had recovered. He did not stay home and either went to help his son and daughter in town or worked in the fields. Sometimes, he would even help to build the house.
Su Fengmao stayed with his eldest cousin, Su Zhengde, these past two days and busied himself by building the big house. He was a good worker but could not do much when he severely injured his foot.
He became depressed then and only felt a sense of existence because his family loved him and never let him do harsh labor. Otherwise, he would feel useless and worthless and even start self-loathing.
He knew how it felt before, so he became excited after his foot finally healed. After all, why would he need to walk when he could run? Being able to do many things with his perfectly healed foot felt exhilarating, and the villagers were amazed when they saw Su Fengmao.
The news of his foot and Su Fengchen’s hand spread throughout the village, and every villager knew about it. They would talk about these things whenever they had some free time.
“The Su family’s second son’s foot is okay now. He can run pretty fast too.” “That means his daughter’s medical skills are real.”
“It can’t be fake since Fengmao’s foot had been in a terrible condition for a long time. Even a doctor could treat it last time, not to mention Fengchen’s hand. Old Madam Su used all her savings to treat his hand, but it was pointless. It’s a miracle now that his hand has recovered.”
“It’s indeed a miracle. I also heard that a Liu family member in Willow Village almost died, but Su Binglan saved him.”
“Oh, people from Willow Village even went to the Su family’s home with some bags a while ago. Those people stood out, and Madam Shen said they were her in-laws. It turns out they were here to thank the Su family.”
“Su Binglan is truly the Su family’s lucky star. No wonder they dote on her. I bet anyone would dote on someone as precious as her.”
“Exactly. Do you see how well the Su family is doing now? Each of them is thriving.”
“Old Madam Su looks so happy now too.”
“Don’t spout nonsense. Big Su and his family are still out there; no one knows if they’ll make it back for the Mooncake Festival.”
“Big Su is a sentimental person and refuses to leave his wife, even though she has that condition. He even took his wife to treat her condition after saving some money. He doesn’t even care about his crops anymore.”
“Big Su’s wife isn’t doing well, but she’s talented in embroidery. It would be good if the Su family could agree to this marriage because of her excellent craftsmanship. Unfortunately, Big Su’s wife’s eyes are damaged, and she can’t embroider anymore.”
“If that’s the case, Big Su’s family doesn’t need to suffer. Why don’t we ask Su Binglan to check on Big Su’s wife?”
“Big Su’s wife contracted that condition long ago. I reckon even Su Binglan can’t do anything about it.”
Since they were all from the same village, everyone knew about each family’s situation. The villagers would gossip about this family to kill time when they had nothing to do.
Su Binglan was cooking when she saw her father coming home. She said smilingly, “Father, you’re home.”
“Indeed, I am!” Su Fengmao’s voice was brighter and more precise now. He seemed different from his dull and quiet appearance. As expected, his mental state improved after Su Binglan healed his foot.
Shen Qiuhua could not help but ask, “How’s the house construction coming along?”
“We’re almost done building it and about to set up the beam. We’ll set off firecrackers on it and prepare some sweets and snacks so we can throw them down.”
There was a custom whenever someone built a house there. After building a beam, one would set off firecrackers and sprinkle white flour and snacks as a sign of celebration.
Shen Qiuhua said, “That was quick. After that, we can move our furniture and move in.” She could not hide her smile when she thought about the big house.
Su Fengmao scooped water from the vat and washed his hands in the basin. Afterward, he said, “Zhengde said the furniture is ready, so we can move in when the time comes.”
“Didn’t you go take a look?” Shen Qiuhua was curious about how the new furniture looked.
“No, I didn’t. Zhengde said it wouldn’t be a problem if they made it according to Binglan’s drawing. Zhengde and his nephews are making the furniture, so we don’t need to worry..”
