Li Shi had an actual job now and could make a significant earning every month by working at the dessert shop. He had received a two-month bonus of two silver taels.
Moreover, he had learned many things, like bookkeeping, Arabic numerals, how to treat customers, and even how to make desserts. He was very knowledgeable now.
Furthermore, his boss said she would train him to become a manager and still give him more important roles in the future. His boss had also sent Zhou Shan to the hotpot restaurant to learn its ins and outs.
Li Shi felt his days were fulfilling. He also knew he could earn money through his abilities, making him feel reliable.
The knot in his heart about his upbringing had loosened, and his mentality had changed. It was because of those experiences that he fatefully met his boss and became the man he was now.
Although Li Shi’s brothers did not treat him well, he had friends he could rely on, who were better than his actual brothers. Li Shi felt a lot more at ease thinking about things this way.
After all, one would not easily get stuck in a dead end when one thought of things from a different perspective. Li Shi knew he had to think about everything positively.
Still, his parents felt guilty. They did feel worthy enough to eat the food Li Shi had brought and made. The older couple had not had a good meal for a long time but were hungry just by smelling the aroma.
“Li Shi, you must’ve spent a lot of money buying these things. The outside world must’ve been hard to live all alone. We know we didn’t help you. You must save your money and not buy us these things.”
“That’s right, Li Shi, you should think about yourself more. Your mother and I will help you preserve that one acre of land,” Mr. Li said, “You can use it to produce quite a lot of food.”
Li Shi noticed his parents were not eating, so he picked up some food and put them into their bowls. “Mom, Dad, you must eat the food I brought you if you still acknowledge me as your son. If you don’t then you don’t have to eat.
He knew how to get his parents to eat. Mr. and Mrs. Li were shocked when they heard this and quickly ate. However, Mrs. Li’s tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably after taking just one bite as the food was too tasty. After all, the older couple had not had eggs and meat for a long time.
Li Shi noticed that his parents’ health was poor. He thought about his boss’s medical service that afternoon and decided to bring his parents to see her.
‘I must treat Father and Mother.’
He still hoped his parents could live long, healthy lives. He did not get the siblings he had always wanted but knew he had to treasure his parents. After all, Li Shi felt a sense of security with his parents around. Of course, his parents were no longer the people who treated him poorly.
As Li Shi packed up and prepared to bring his parents to Su Teng Village, Mrs. Zou brought her few brothers from the neighboring village to teach Li Shi a lesson.
However, Li Shi easily beat the four burly men to the ground. The surrounding villagers heard the commotion and went to see what had happened, only for a shocking scene to greet them.
Everyone was stunned.
“It’s been years since we last saw Li Shi, but he has grown a lot.”
“He could easily find something significant to do and earn money, especially with his skills.”
“Didn’t the bodyguard agency and the administrator lack people with such formidable martial arts skills?”
The wav everyone looked at Li Shi and his parents had changed. Even Mrs. Zou was frightened. She trembled when she saw Li Shi approaching with his clenched fists.
“You! D-Don’t hit me, don’t hit me.” Mrs. Zou constantly bullied the weak but feared the mighty. She shook with fear at this moment.
The surrounding villagers felt relieved when they saw how pathetic Mrs. Zou looked. She and her brothers ran away in fear after Li Shi threatened her.
Li Shi carried his mother on his back, and his father followed.
“Li Shi, where are you taking your parents?” Everyone asked.
“Our second son is good and dutiful,” Mr. Li replied, “He said he’ll take us to see a doctor and cure his mother. Li Shi even cooked for us this morning. The food he made was delicious.”
He wanted the villagers to understand Li Shi instead of misunderstanding him, so he quickly spoke up for his second son.
After the group left, the villagers could not help but discuss what they saw.
“Mr. and Mrs. Li are… They would have treated their second son better if they had known this would happen.”
“Li Shi is a good kid and a filial son. His parents treated him like that in the past, but he still cares about them.”
“Li Zheng told me Li Shi brought many things for his parents last night. This child has grown up and seems to be capable.”
As Li Shi led his parents out, he passed by the village entrance and the oil mill at noon. He saw Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao waiting in line at the oil mill. The couple had brought a lot of rapeseed with them.
The people surrounding the oil mill were shocked to see how many rapeseeds the couple had and asked if they could get oil from the rapeseeds.
“Don’t worry,” Su Fengmao said, “We can get oil with rapeseed, and it’ll cost the same as peanuts.”
He believed in his daughter. If she said they could get oil from rapeseed, then they could.
The surrounding people became curious and went to take a look. “So, these are rapeseeds? I’ve never heard of these things before.”
They only knew they could get oil from peanuts, not these things. They also wondered how much oil they could get from rapeseed compared to peanuts and if they could buy some rapeseed from the older couple.
Still, rapeseed should be about the same value as peanuts. They could plant more per acre of land if it could produce more oil than peanuts. After all, the land was most crucial to farmers.
However, most did not own much land. If they used their land to grow peanuts, then there would not be much land left for crops. If farmers yielded more per acre of land, it would be equivalent to having more than an acre, which would be more cost-effective.
Shen Qiuhua did not try to hide it and patiently explained, “These are rapeseed, and they grow similarly to cabbage, which we can also use to make stir-fried vegetables. They’ll grow into rapeseed like these when they’re ripe. We can also use them as a source of oil.’
She remembered her daughter’s explanation and told everyone.
While talking, the oil mill workers fried the rapeseed and produced oil.
“It’s oil! What they said is true!” Everyone became excited when the worker inside shouted.
Everyone looked inside and saw that the worker had produced oil from the rapeseed. The fragrance was also solid but differed from that of peanuts.
Everyone was stunned.
Then someone hurriedly asked Shen Qiuhua, “Does your family sell these rapeseeds? I would like to buy some, but I’ll need to know how much you’ll charge me.”
“Yeah, we’d like to buy some rapeseed if it’s cheaper than peanuts. Can you tell us how to plant and harvest them?”
Everyone looked at the older couple with eager eyes..
