Su Binn felt helpless since everyone insisted. However, she could not take back the fact that she had taught her brother and sister-inw how to make tofu.
She argued, “You don’t have to feel bad, Big Brother. I’ve said it before. It’s better to teach someone how to fish than to give it to them. I only hope that our family can live good lives.
“That tofu factory belongs to Big Brother and Sister-inw, so I won’t have to worry about you two anymore. I have ns for Wenxiu and Wenwu too. I will nurture their skills so they can also live good lives.
Su Wenzhe and his wife almost cried because of how touched they felt, but they still insisted. Ultimately, they decided to split the tofu factory’s profit 50-50.
After everyone agreed, Su Binn and her father went to First Granduncle Su’s ce to discuss buying morend.
Su Teng Vige was expansive, and there was a lot of emptynd behind it. However, those plots ofnd were not suitable for growing crops, so no one wanted to spend money on them. Thus, most abandoned thosends.
When Su Binn said she wanted to buy 50 acres ofnd, First Granduncle Su was stunned. “Are you honestly going to buy that muchnd, Binn?! Most of them are useless since you can’t grow crops on them.”
He said that for Su Binn’s sake because he saw Su Binn as his own.
Su Binn said smilingly, “There’s nothing wrong with the wastnd, First
Granduncle Su. I have a use for them.’
“Binn is right, Uncle. Don’t worry. Since they’re useful to us, we won’t end up with losses from buying thatnd.”
Su Fengmao trusted his daughter very much because he knew she was capable. The wastnd might not grow crops in the hands of others, but it would for Su Binn.
After all, the Su family harvested more rice than the rest of the vigers, even though they used the samend. It was just that Su Binn would asionally help in the fields, and Su Fengmao felt that the rice had overgrown thanks to his daughter.
Su Binn’s abilities wildly convinced Old Madam Su. She said to her husband, “Yes, others might not buy that wastnd, but I believe in Binn’s ability to make it useful.
She was fond of Su Binn. Old Madam Su had warmly weed her since she entered the house. She even made tea that she was reluctant to brew for Su Fengmao and Su Binn.
First Granduncle Su said, “Okay, since you insist on buying thatnd, it’ll cost one silver tael for two acres, making a total of fifty acres for twenty-five silver taels.’
Although he was curious about what Su Binn wanted to do with thatnd, he did not pry. Nheless, he was happy to see his family doing well.
Su Fengmao was in disbelief. “That’s too cheap, Uncle!”
Su Fengmao knew his uncle would side with him whenever he looked for him. Su Fengmao feared affecting his uncle’s prestige in the vige if the other vigers discovered this.
First Granduncle Su waved his hand and said, “Most of thatnd is uncultivated, anyway, and the vigers know that. No one would object to my price, even if they discovered how cheap it is. You can rest assured.”
Then he stamped the documents and thend deed.
The following day, Su Binn and the others went to the administrator’s office to settle the documents, and thend finally belonged to Su Binn.
After bringing Su Binn and Su Fengmao back to the vige, Old Master Su sighed.
Old Madam Su said, “Was there something you wanted to tell them?” She understood her husband well, so she knew his thoughts.
Old Master Su said, “Winter ising soon, so the vigers can’t predict whether or not they have enough food to survive. I hope it won’t get too cold this time around, so no one will freeze to death.’
If the snow covered the mountains, the vige would be colder.
Therefore, it was usual for some to freeze to death if they did not have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear.
Of course, Su Teng Vige fared better than others, and Old Master Su was a good person as he would give the vigers his family’s belongings, nkets, and other things to use.
However, that was not a proper solution either. The surrounding viges’ situation was even dire as people would freeze to death once winter came. That was why Old Master Su was concerned.
Old Madam Su immediately understood how her husband felt. “Don’t you remember that Binn is our family’s lucky star? Don’t you think she has ways to help the vigers be rich?
“When everyone’s conditions improve, they will be more willing to buy nkets and other things to survive the winter. Then they will no longer be afraid of the cold.’
Old Master Su nodded. “I know that, but I can’t allow it. We can’t let Binn shoulder those responsibilities just because she can. She’s our family treasure, but she deserves to be happy too.”
Old Madam Suughed. “You’re overthinking again, and Binn is a good child. If something terrible happens to the vige, she won’t just ignore it. Let’s just wait and see. The vigers will bask in her glory even if she doesn’t do anything. ”
Old Madam Su’s joyfulness brought up her husband’s mood. He rxed slightly and said, “Are you that confident?”
“Of course I am! Haven’t you seen how many people Binn has helped with just her ideas? Take the bricks, for example. Those bricks that Zhengde made were affordable, and the vigers went and bought a lot of them so they could repair their houses.
“Fengzhi is doing well, too, because the charcoal he makes is affordable. Now the vigers can afford to buy some to survive the winter. They won’t freeze to death,” Old Madam Su became more enthusiastic as she spoke.
She continued, “Those two are good people. They knew that Binn was the one who brought them sess, so they offered her 30% of their profits, even though she did not want to ept them. Ultimately, she had to because they insisted.
“Still, Binn buys charcoal and bricks ording to the real prices instead of a discount. She follows the rules, so it’s fair to everyone. With Binn around, our vige will only improve over time.”
Old Master Su smiled when he heard these things. “Well, you do make a lot of sense.”
Old Madam Su said, “See? You were overthinking.”
After all, Old Master Su had to think about these things since he was the vige elder. “I still don’t know why Binn bought the wastnd.”
“Don’t worry. Binn will find a use for it, and we’ll know why when the timees.” Old Madam Su was also curious but knew what she should and should not ask.
When Su Binn and her father were on their way home, the family did not sleep. Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were so excited that they did not want to sleep.
Liu Yinyin told them to sleep, but the duo insisted on waiting for their aunt to return. She said smilingly, “These two like their aunt very much now.” At that moment, Su Binn returned.
Su Wenwu could not wait to ask, “Did you guys get thend, Father?”
Su Fengmao said excitedly, “Yes, we bought 50 acres! We must go to the office tomorrow and finalize the paperwork.”
Su Wenwu was so surprised that his jaw almost hit the ground..
