Su Binn enjoyed the atmosphere in Su Teng Vige.
“Indeed, it’s excellent,” Old Madam Su said emotionally, “Everyone helps each other, no matter what. However, our vige did poorlyst time, so the vigers 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, Binn. People from other viges 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 Binn nodded. “Yes, but Granduncle Su can do as he sees fit. Our vige 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 vige chief, First Granduncle Su was also sincerely concerned about the vigers 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 nkets to help them. He saved many people from freezing and starving.
“Your granduncle isn’t as good as you say, Binn,” Grandaunt Su jokingly said as she looked at her husband. “Look, he’s evenughing.”
Although the elder couple joked around, Chief Su was a severe person the vigers wholeheartedly respected. He had a lot of prestige in Su Teng Vige. Su Binn 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 nt them during winter and harvest them in spring.
“That way, everyone will fully use theirnd since it won’t affect their crop-nting during spring.”
Chief Su became interested after hearing what his grandniece had to say.
“Rapeseeds are so good that you can nt them during winter?”
Su Binn nodded. “That’s right. The vigers can either grow the rapeseeds for oil or harvest them for eating. Also, the rapeseed oil yield is much higher than peanuts.”
She exined everything to her first granduncle.
Chief Su mmed the table in delight. “Wow! Rapeseeds are good things, after all! Can you get the vigers to nt them, Binn?”
“That’s what I intend to do, Granduncle Su.” Su Binn nodded again. “Please calcte and see who’s best to nt rapeseeds.”
“But the rapeseeds are yours, Binn,” Chief Su said after some thought,
“Although I’m the vige chief and want the best for the vige, I must be fair.
I can’t take your rapeseeds for free. They should cost me something, right?”
Su Binn answered, “These seeds are only five copper coins per 500 grams, Granduncle Su. Typically, that i s enough for one acre ofnd. The vigers can borrow the rapeseeds from me if they can’t afford them. After harvesting the seeds during spring, the vigers can return them to me.”
“That’s an excellent proposal,” Chief Su said happily, “That way, our vige’s overall conditions will improve even more.”
Chief Su chuckled at the thought of this. He felt a sense of aplishment in being a vige chief. “Don’t worry, Binn. I can take care of it and let you know when Iplete the calctions and statistics.”
After a slight pause, the elder asked doubtfully, “That’s great, but do you have enough rapeseeds, Binn?”
“Yes, I have enough seeds, Granduncle Su. Don’t worry about that.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Su Binn 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 ced 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 ricest 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 theyy 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 exin 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 rxed 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 Vige’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..
