Su Xueye had just started building with his team, but the project progressed swiftly since many people were working together. The team had already established the foundation.
Su Binglan looked from afar and walked over.
Previously, Su Xueye had taken the blueprints from Su Binglan and started to build the embroidery shop. Everyone was nervous when they followed Su Xueye because he was young. They questioned whether or not he would be good enough to lead them.
The workers were concerned that there would be issues with the building he had brought them to build. However, they realized that Su Xueye was a natural talent despite his young age since he led them to build the tofu factory.
The workers also realized that he might even be more capable than his grandfather, Su Zhengde. After all, Su Xueye did well in leading the workers to build the tofu factory, even completing it ahead of schedule.
Therefore, everyone happily followed him when he led them to build the embroidery shop. This time, his competence and diligence convinced the workers of his capabilities.
Everyone would listen to whatever he said and no longer thought nothing was wrong with listening to a 14-year-old’s instructions. Moreover, some workers only knew a little about architecture, but Su Xueye would patiently explain it to them.
Everyone who followed him learned many things. Not only did everyone believe in him, but they were also grateful to him.
Although Su Xueye was young, he was not afraid of hard work. He was always on site giving instructions and helping. Even though he was busy, he never felt tired. Instead, he became more energized because he could learn things and do what he was most passionate about.
After all, it felt good to be trusted by everyone, and he felt an overwhelming sense of achievement in his heart.
Su Xueye was busy with his work when he saw Su Binglan. He excitedly called out to her, “Aunt Binglan!’
He would learn a lot whenever Su Binglan guided him. Moreover, he could now draw blueprints and architectural designs. He could draw whatever building he wanted as soon as a picture appeared in his mind.
Su Binglan had taught him well. Therefore, Su Xueye would become highly excited whenever he saw Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye and laughed. She approached the teenager and said, “How is it going? Are you tired?”
She had not ridden a horse to town because she wanted to look around. She planned to walk around town in the afternoon and look around on the way home. She was thinking of what else to build on the land she had bought.
Su Xueye was ecstatic. He shook his head and said, “Not at all, Aunt Binglan. It’s interesting to build the tofu factory and embroidery shop with everyone, much more than following my father to make furniture.”
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t it good to make furniture?
Su Xueye’s grandmother, Madam Zhou, had opened a furniture store while Su Xueye’s father and two uncles were making furniture. She did everything quite well.
Being a carpenter in the village was popular. However, it was a unique skill
that not everyone could master. Some were apprentices, doing the tiring work but learned nothing because the carpenters would deliberately leave them to their own devices.
However, some were smarter and could learn things at a glance, even though things might seem complicated. Su Xueye had learned from his grandfather and uncles, who taught him well. Nonetheless, everyone had different interests.
Only by doing what he was passionate about would he feel endlessly energized. Su Xueye was just like Su Wenxiu when he planted medicinal herbs. Su Wenxiu would work hard and sweat even though it was cold outside. He never felt tired but instead felt happy. That was because he was passionate about anything related to medicine and doctors.
Su Xueye shook his head. “No, it’s too dull. All I do is make furniture all day, but leading a construction team to build things is different. I find it interesting, no matter what.”
Su Binglan patted Su Xueye’s shoulder. “Do your best. I still have things for you to do after you finish the embroidery shop.”
Su Xueye was stunned. ‘There are still things to do?’
He asked quietly, “Do you want us to build another shop, Aunt Binglan?”
He knew how capable his aunt was and that her ideas could help many people. The tofu factory alone had helped many Su Teng villagers. His aunt even developed bricks and had the idea to form a construction team.
Even when Madam Zhou wanted to open a furniture store, it was because of Su Binglan’s many excellent suggestions that the store became so popular.
Su Xueye admired his aunt the most as he asked her the question excitedly. Whenever others mentioned his aunt’s shops, they would know Su Xueye had built them. He would become famous with his Aunt Binglan.
The thought of that made him excited. Even now, many went to him if they wanted to build houses or even mansions. However, he had to prioritize his focus on his aunt’s requests because he knew many villagers would benefit from his aunt’s embroidery shop when he completed it.
After all, it was a meaningful thing to do, so he had to do it.
Su Binglan nodded, “There will be many buildings for you to build. Work hard.”
“Yes, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan looked around and asked a few more questions before continuing home. On the way back, she saw Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong on the oxcart.
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan and quicldy stopped the oxcart. “Binglan, why are you traveling on foot? Quick, get on the oxcart.”
When Baili Xihong saw Su Binglan, he said obediently, “Hello, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan smiled and nodded. “Hi there, Xihong.”
She was a little surprised to see Baili Jinghua. She got on the oxcart and said,
“Why are you going home so early today?”
Baili Jinghua was busy at the hot pot restaurant and would typically not leave so early. Of course, Baili Jinghua helped Su Binglan, but she also had free time and could go back to rest whenever she wanted.
Su Binglan had already discussed this with Baili Jinghua from the start, so Baili Jinghua bought an oxcart for the convenience of going to town.
Baili Jinghua lowered her voice and said, “I saw an old acquaintance who went to the hotpot restaurant to eat. I was scared. Fortunately, your third brother saw through it and quickly told me to go to the academy to pick Xihong up and go home first.”
Her expression was tense when she spoke.
Su Binglan had never seen Baili Jinghua like this. “An old acquaintance? Someone from the capital?”
Baili Jinghua was from General Baili’s residence The people in General Baili’s residence were her uncle’s people, who thought she was dead. She shook her head, her expression conflicted.
Su Binglan looked on and guessed, “Are they people from Xihong’s father’s side?”
Baili Jinghua treated Su Binglan as a trusted sister. There were some things she could not tell others but could tell Su Binglan. “Yes, they’re related to Xihong’s father.”
Su Binglan said, “In that case, you don’t have to go to town anymore. You can stay in the village. I’m going to build an embroidery shop.. Why don’t you work there when you’re free?
