Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong thought their father’s words were untrue. They could never imagine Su Binglan visiting them.
‘Why would she help us since she doesn’t have a reason to do that? The Su family doesn’t even know we exist.’
“Why would I lie? It’s all true. You can ask your mother when we get home if you don’t believe me,” Tao Zhenggang said, “Since we have some rice at home, your mother will make delicious food for you two tonight.
“We’ll also go to town and buy some things tomorrow. We’ll get what we need to nourish your bodies.”
The more the two brothers heard, the more they were in disbelief. After all, everything sounded too unreal.
‘How can we not know how bad things are at home? We should do more since it’s good for our bodies. Also, where did our parents get the money to shop in town?
The brothers were doubtful but did not raise any questions. No matter the reason for their father’s happiness, the brothers wanted him to be as happy for as long as possible. After all, it had been a long while since their father smiled like that.
Since the brothers could go home now, their footsteps became lighter.
However, they wished they could run home.
The sky had already darkened when the trio reached the village’s entrance. The brothers could see several dark yellow lights from several homes in the village. Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong felt warm as they looked around.
They did not know why, but their tense nerves relaxed as soon as they returned to the village. Previously, they would not even dare to sleep and would wake up at the slightest noise.
Now, the brothers felt they could have a good night’s sleep, no matter the reason. Moreover, their father told the dock supervisor his sons would no longer work there.
Since the brothers could stay home for a while, they felt much more relaxed. After all, they had exhausted themselves and could not have a good rest previously.
They could have a much-needed good night’s sleep, especially since they missed their heated brick beds at home.
‘Now that we’re home, we can go to the mountains and cut wood to warm up the brick beds at night,’ the brothers thought.
The brothers smelled the rice when they arrived at their house. The fragrance alone made them drool, primarily because they had not had a proper meal for a long time.
While previously working at the docks in town, the brothers could sometimes smell food the people brought into the ship. The brothers would gulp their salivas whenever they smelled the delicious fragrances.
“Big Brother, I smell something delicious. Is that coming from our house?!”
“I smell it, too, Little Brother.” Tao Dayong stood at the door and could not believe the fragrance he smelled. He wondered if what his father said was true.
Tao Zhenggang entered the courtyard and said, “Honey, our sons are home!”
Miss Li excitedly cooked at home while waiting for her sons to return. She missed her sons dearly and wondered how they were doing at the docks.
In the past, she could not make them anything good to eat. However, the family’s lives would improve since they could get monthly salaries. Miss Li could now make good food for her sons and nourish them well.
She hurriedly went to the courtyard and saw her two sons. She went up to Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong to hug them. “Thank goodness you’re home. I’ve missed you so much, so I made good food for you.”
Tao Eryong was about to cry as he pouted and said aggrievedly, “Mother, I missed you so much.”
His words made Miss Li burst into tears.
“Don’t cry, Mother,” Tao Dayong said, “If you cry, I’ll cry too.”
Tao Eryong hurriedly held back his tears. “M-Mother, I’m so hungry. Did you make something good?”
With this change of topic, Miss Li forgot her previous emotions and hurriedly said, “Yes, I cooked rice and egg soup with scallions. That’s all we have at home now, but we’ll go to town tomorrow and buy more things for you two to nourish yourselves.”
Usually, Miss Li would not bear to cook rice or eggs. However, things had changed.
Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong had to believe that their father’s statement was true. Tao Dayong asked, “Mother, did Miss Su come to our house?
Miss Li entered the house and opened the pot lid. She scooped the rice and said, “Yes, Miss Su will help us solve all our problems and also bought the pottery workshop. We’ve got dozens of silver taels just from that.
“Miss Su will also help us settle our previous debt when we bought the pinewood. She’s our benefactor.”
Miss Li briefly explained what had happened to her two sons while the brothers stood in a daze. They needed some time to digest this news.
“Such a good thing has happened to us.”
“That’s why I always say how good Miss Su is to everyone. She only wants to help us.”
Miss Li added, “Let’s continue our pottery and work hard. You two no longer need to work at the docks from tomorrow onward. You’ll work alongside us and earn monthly salaries.
“Each of us can earn a considerable amount each month. Also, the more jars and pots we make, the more we earn. Miss Su had already agreed to it and even gave us silver in advance. She said they’re our starting capital, but we must record all our spending.”
Tao Dayong returned to his senses and said, “That means our old family workshop belongs to Miss Su now. It’s equivalent to Miss Su hiring us to work for her.”
Miss Li was astounded before she reacted and said, “Yes, that’s it.”
Tao Eryong also understood everything. “In that case, we’ll be like the workers in Miss Su’s tofu factory. We’ll have actual work to do and get paid monthly.”
Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li underwood the situation more when their youngest son said that. “That’s true. Our neighbors will feel envious when word gets out. After all, so many people in our village want to work for Miss Su.”
Tao Dayong became excited, “Our family will finally improve in the future.”
“Yes, we can work within our village, too. Now I can eat and sleep at home,” Tao Eryong became happier as he spoke.
Tao Dayong finally relaxed his stressed mind. ‘We never wanted to leave our parents and couldn’t even eat or sleep well out there. Now, we can eat and sleep at home.’
After having dinner, Su Binglan returned to her room with Luo Jin’an. Su Binglan still had work to do, so she lit a candle and sat at her desk.
Luo Jin’an instinctively swept his gaze over the room. He noticed the jade pendant and the portrait Su Binglan had placed on her desk.
Luo Jin’an’s approached his wife’s desk and stared at the pendant, asking,
“What’s this jade pendant doing here?”
