Su Binglan enjoyed the atmosphere in Su Teng Village.
“Indeed, it’s excellent,” Old Madam Su said emotionally, “Everyone helps each other, no matter what. However, our village did poorly last time, so the villagers couldn’t do much, even if they wanted to help each other.
“Still, it’s better now, and everyone says it’s all thanks to you, Binglan. People from other villages wouldn’t want to settle down here if it weren’t for you. Since your granduncle is quite busy these days, he didn’t want to arrange for anyone to live here.
“However, there are some genuinely warm-hearted and kind people among them, so it’s not a big deal if they want to live here.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, but Granduncle Su can do as he sees fit. Our village remains good because of Granduncle Su.”
She knew the Su family was the first to live here, so they had the final say. Later, when people wanted to move in, Chief Su only allowed those with good character and background to live there.
Everyone lived harmoniously and had no problems with their neighbors. After all, everyone would be more united if they helped each other out.
Moreover, as the village chief, First Granduncle Su was also sincerely concerned about the villagers and would always think of them whenever there was good news.
When it was freezing during winter, he would bring people along to those without food and blankets to help them. He saved many people from freezing and starving.
“Your granduncle isn’t as good as you say, Binglan,” Grandaunt Su jokingly said as she looked at her husband. “Look, he’s even laughing.”
Although the elder couple joked around, Chief Su was a severe person the villagers wholeheartedly respected. He had a lot of prestige in Su Teng Village. Su Binglan said, “I have something to tell you, Granduncle Su.”
Chief Su put down his pen and said, “I knew you had a motive for visiting, but I’m guessing it’s something good.”
Granduncle Su. I gathered rapeseed before and can extract oil from them. We can plant them during winter and harvest them in spring.
“That way, everyone will fully use their land since it won’t affect their crop-planting during spring.”
Chief Su became interested after hearing what his grandniece had to say.
“Rapeseeds are so good that you can plant them during winter?”
Su Binglan nodded. “That’s right. The villagers can either grow the rapeseeds for oil or harvest them for eating. Also, the rapeseed oil yield is much higher than peanuts.”
She explained everything to her first granduncle.
Chief Su slammed the table in delight. “Wow! Rapeseeds are good things, after all! Can you get the villagers to plant them, Binglan?”
“That’s what I intend to do, Granduncle Su.” Su Binglan nodded again. “Please calculate and see who’s best to plant rapeseeds.”
“But the rapeseeds are yours, Binglan,” Chief Su said after some thought,
“Although I’m the village chief and want the best for the village, I must be fair.
I can’t take your rapeseeds for free. They should cost me something, right?”
Su Binglan answered, “These seeds are only five copper coins per 500 grams, Granduncle Su. Typically, that i s enough for one acre of land. The villagers can borrow the rapeseeds from me if they can’t afford them. After harvesting the seeds during spring, the villagers can return them to me.”
“That’s an excellent proposal,” Chief Su said happily, “That way, our village’s overall conditions will improve even more.”
Chief Su chuckled at the thought of this. He felt a sense of accomplishment in being a village chief. “Don’t worry, Binglan. I can take care of it and let you know when I complete the calculations and statistics.”
After a slight pause, the elder asked doubtfully, “That’s great, but do you have enough rapeseeds, Binglan?”
“Yes, I have enough seeds, Granduncle Su. Don’t worry about that.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Su Binglan went back and forth with her granduncle for a bit longer before returning home. Then she removed all the rapeseed from her pocket dimension and placed them in the warehouse at home.
Immediately after, she prepared to go to the back of the mountain to pick more rapeseed. After all, there was still so much left, and she could store a lot more in her pocket dimension.
Meanwhile, Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong had eaten a few servings of rice last night and even drank the egg drop soup, leaving not a single scrap of food uneaten.
The two brothers were famished, especially since they could barely eat their fill when working at the docks. After finally getting to eat so much food, the duo felt tired.
Their mother had warmed up the brick bed) so they lay on the verge of tears. Tao Dayong was the more stable one and held back his tears, but his younger brother cried despite himself.
“Am I dreaming were home and can sleep on the heated brick bed again, Big Brother?”
“No, didn’t mother explain things to us?” Tao Dayong said, “She even showed us the silver and contract. We studied for two years, so we read it and understood its contents.
“We’ll stay home from now on. We’ll only need to take a few steps to work at the pottery workshop. We’ll have food at home and sleep on our warm bed at night.”
Tao Eryong was not the only person who thought it was all a dream. Even Tao Dayong did. Tao Dayong even secretly pinched himself a few times to ensure it.
Since he felt pain, he knew what he saw was real and not an illusion.
Tao Eryong could not control his tears. He wiped them and said, “Big brother, is this the end of our suffering?
“Yes, but we must be more diligent in the future and work more to earn more money,” Tao Dayong said.
Tao Eryong nodded. “I will, Big Brother. I’ve realized how vital money is. We can live, eat, and sleep well now.”
The two brothers had not felt this relaxed for a long time. However, they were so excited that none of them could sleep.
Tao Eryong remained silent momentarily before saying, “Big Brother, does your ex-wife—
“Don’t talk about her!” Tao Dayong suddenly became severe. His voice boomed as he turned his back toward his younger brother.
Tao Eryong looked at his elder brothers curled-up body and did not know how
to respond. His brothers ex-wife had insisted on leaving when something happened to their family. She did not care about the Taos’ lives at all.
Tao Eryong knew his elder brother had secretly cried himself to sleep at night when that happened.
After some hesitation, he opened his mouth to probe, “Big Brother, I know you’ll find a better wife when our family’s life improves. People envy whoever works in Su Teng Village’s tofu factory, right?
“Since we’ll be working in Miss Su’s pottery workshop soon, people will envy us too. You’re a good person, Big Brother. You must find a better wife this time.”
Tao Eryong remembered his elder brother doting on his ex-wife a lot. Tao Dayong always got hot water for his ex-wife in the morning whenever it was cold. He fought to do all the heavy lifting and tiring work, unwilling to let his ex-wife lift a finger.
If there were anything good to eat, Tao Dayong always prioritized his ex-wife. However, that woman despised the poor and loved the rich. She could not see Tao Dayong’s doting behavior.
Tao Eryong had seen it all, even though he was still young..
