Chapter 280: Su Binglan’s Arrangements
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan looked at the four people and said, “You must do your jobs well since you want to stay by my side. I won’t mistreat you and will give you freedom if you do well.
“However, you cannot blame me for being impolite if you try to play tricks.” Her expression became stern as she spoke, and the four people immediately clarified their stance.
Su Binglan had many things to do and was indeed short of staffing. She wanted to hire people but had never thought of using people in such a way. Nonetheless, she had not saved them for a reason.
She looked at Du Xiaoju and said, “You can return with your brother. Then you will need your brother to pay off the ransom and medicine.”
Du Xiaoju shook her head and said, “I will only be a burden if I return with my brother. I’ll only feel relieved when I know they’re okay. You were the one who saved me, so I will naturally repay you for that. Also, I can have meals by your side.”
Du Xiaoju knew what she wanted. That meant she did not want to return and burden her mother and brother. “Don’t worry, miss. I’m not afraid of hardships and will contribute and work well.”
Her brother had told her that Su Wenwu had a powerful sister, so she wanted to stay by Su Binglan’s side. Du Xiaoju was grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of her heart.
Moreover, Du Xiaoshuan and his mother were in the neighboring village. If Du Xiaoju worked by Su Binglan’s side, she could often see her brother and mother. She was content with that.
Du Xiaoshuan felt relieved that his sister was by Su Binglan’s side. He also knew his family’s current situation and that he could not take proper care of his sister.
He looked at Su Wenwu and said gratefully, “Thank you, Wenwu. If it weren’t for you, my sister would’ve…” He was on the verge of crying again as he spoke.
He thought he was not capable and could not afford to save his sister just now. Du Xiaoshuan did not know what he would have done if it were not for Su Wenwu.
He did not know how to explain it to his mother when he returned. His mother had always missed Du Xiaoju all these years, so Du Xiaoshuan left the village to work because he thought he might hear news about his sister.
Su Wenwu patted Du Xiaoshuan’s shoulder and said, “Work hard, and your days will undoubtedly improve.”
Du Xiaoshuan wiped his tears and said, “Yes, Wenwu. Thank you for willingly bringing me with you. I promise to work well with you.”
After bringing the four people back to the village, Su Binglan discovered that apart from Du Xiaoju, the other three were related.
The trio used to work for a wealthy family but got sold because they had committed a crime. The trio had suffered on their master’s behalf.
Su Binglan knew certain things about the wealthy family and that these three were honest people. The woman’s name was Qiu He, the man was Luo Kang, and their daughter, Luo Juan, was thirteen years old.
When Su Binglan designed the new house, she arranged to include some guest rooms. Therefore, she arranged for the Luo family and Du Xiaoju to live in the guest rooms.
When the four people looked at the Su family’s home, they felt a sense of disbelief. They even wondered whether or not they were in the countryside. They had lived with a wealthy family but never got to live in such rooms before, as everything inside was complete and proper.
Luo Juan was a timid girl, so she said shyly, “Father, Mother, is this room really for us to live in?
Qiu He said, “Miss Su said you have your own room, and your father and I will share another. She also said you’re old enough to live by yourself, but you can live with us if you’re not used to it.”
Luo Juan nodded and said, “Miss Su is such a good person.”
Luo Kang said, “She wouldn’t have saved us if she weren’t a good person. Moreover, we discovered that Miss Su’s relatives are also good people. We must work hard for them no matter what. It’s easier and more stable here than living with those wealthy families.”
Qiu He said, “We wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for Miss Su. I feel scared now that I think about it.”
Du Xiaoju sat on a chair in the guest room and looked around. She thought it was bizarre. She noticed she had a desk, and the cabinet differed from anything she had ever seen. She could also finally sleep on a heated platform instead of the floor.
Su Binglan did not put the four people to work on the first day—instead, she told them to rest well. Of course, Su Wenwu brought them food.
Qiu He, Da Xiaoju, and the others were flattered.
Su Wenwu said, “My sister said you should take your medicine and rest well for the next two days. I’ll arrange some things for you to do after you recover. There’s a kitchen for you all to use, and also rice and vegetables. You can cook and eat by yourselves.”
The rest of the Su family finally voiced their concerns during dinner.
“You saved the four of them, Binglan. Will you let them work in our home from now on?
Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yes. Father, Luo Kang will work with you as your assistant, and Qiu He will work with Mother as her assistant from now on.
“Meanwhile, I want Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan to work in the hotpot restaurant with me when we finally open. After some training, I will let them manage the hotpot restaurant.
Su Binglan wanted to train management talents. She knew she could train Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan.
No one objected to Su Binglan’s arrangements, but Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua felt they did not need assistants.
Su Binglan said, “Mother, the tofu factory will get busy when it opens, so it’ll be much more convenient for you to have an assistant by your side to run your errands.”
Shen Qiuhua and her husband thought their daughter had a point, so they went along with what she said.
Time passed quickly, and a few days passed in just a blink. The chosen villagers had cleared the fifty acres of land and planted the soybeans.
Unbeknownst to the workers, the soybeans they planted came from Su Binglan’s pocket dimension.
Everyone followed Su Binglan’s instructions when they planted the soybeans.
They also discovered that the Su family used soybeans to make tofu.
Of course, the Su family was trustworthy as they would settle the workers’ payments every night after they finished their work. Everyone was thrilled when they saw how much money they had earned.
They would work even more seriously the following day because they felt motivated. After seven working days, the workers received thirty-five copper coins.
The workers were delighted and were even more polite whenever they saw Su Fengmao. They also saw a team of people building another structure behind the village.
Su Zhengde’s grandson, Su Xueye, was leading a team of construction workers on that project. The others had heard about the Su family’s upcoming tofu factory.
The villagers knew the Su family would be too busy to run the factory and that the family would need to hire people. Therefore, the villagers thought of ways to gather more information about acquiring more work.
Everyone wanted to work in the tofu factory since they could get paid and work closer to home. Moreover, the Su family never cheated others and would pay adequately.
One could see how honest they were just by working on the fifty acres of land the Su family had bought. The workers were happy with the money they earned after working every day.
“Your family is building a big tofu factory, right, Brother Su?”
