Su Wenxiu felt even more motivated. However, he did not tell his family about this issue for the time being because he did not want them to worry about him.
He understood that others would stop looking down on him only when he was strong.
Su Binn was unaware of what had happened with her second brother. After returning to the vige from town, she visited her first granduncle’s house and exined Li Shi’s situation to him.
She wanted to help Li Shi but would not be biased toward him. Whether or not
Li Shi could move to Su Teng Vige would still depend on Chief Su’s approval. Moreover, Chief Su would not break the rules of Su Teng Vige just for her.
After pondering, Chief Su nodded. “Li Shi is a good kid. He still forgave his parents for how they treated him and is willing to care for them. Still, you’re right. I’m not sure if Mr. and Mrs. Li are sincere.
“It’s impossible to tell in such a short time. ording to our vige’s rules, Mr. and Mrs. Li cannot be Su Teng vigers. However, Li Shi can be a viger here and use the excuse of being dutiful to his parents to bring them to live with him.
“He can live in Su Teng Vige as long as his parents are faithful to him, but Mr. and Mrs. Li can’t be official Su Teng Vigers. We have our rules here in Su Teng Vige, after all.”
Su Binn responded, “I know, Granduncle Su. I’ll follow the rules you’ve set, of course. Everyone in Su Teng Vige is a good person because of the rules you set. The vigers always help each other, so the atmosphere here is perfect.”
Her heart felt warm as she felt the unity of Su Teng Vige, as its members were also willing to help outsiders.
Chief Su said smilingly, “I distributed rapeseeds to everyone a few days ago. The vigers were ecstatic and are grateful to you. They’ve been hurriedly nting the rapeseed, hoping for a good harvest in spring. If so, we won’t have to work for a year and wait for the autumn harvest.”
Chief Su knew everyone’s lives were not easy as they would be busy all year round. After the wheat and autumn harvest, the vigers would sell a portion of their crops for some ie. Still, they barely made enough to spend.
Every family lived a tough life, and their money had tost a year. Therefore, everyone had grown ustomed to being frugal.
However, they could sell or extract oil with a good rapeseed harvest in spring. Since not everyone could work at the tofu factory, most still had to rely on crops for ie.
“Binn, remember to tell me if you have more good things like rapeseed. Don’t worry. The vigers will always buy such things if they can use them.” Chief Su was always fair and just.
Su Binnughed. “Don’t worry, Granduncle Su. I still have other good things with me. I’ll tell you about them when spring arrives.”
Chief Su was as excited as a child with new toys when he heard that. He asked curiously, “What kind of things do you have? Are they like rapeseeds?”
“They’re not rapeseeds, but potatoes and sweet potatoes,” Su Binn borated, “Still, we can only nt these things at the start of spring when the weather is warm, so don’t worry, Graunduncle Su. You can tell everyone about this at the start of spring.”
Chief Su was delighted when he heard that. He smiled happily and said,
“That’s terrific, Binn. You honestly are our vige’s Lucky Star.”
He knew about potatoes, sweet potatoes, and chilies because he had tried them before. Whenever Su Binn and her side of the family made good food, Su Fengmao would always send some to his uncle, Chief Su.
Potatoes were good ingredients, as Su Binn could make simple, delicious sour, spicy potato pancakes with chilies. She could also use potatoes to make other delicious dishes by stewing them with pork ribs and chicken.
She also had sweet potatoes that she could roast, making them taste sweet and fragrant. She had made shredded sweet potatoes for Chief Sust time. Although she added sugar to the dish, it made it more delicious.
Chief Su got hungry when he thought of all those delicacies. Still, he knew he could not eat such things on regr days and could only have them as asional snacks.
However, he had never thought Su Binn would suggest nting potatoes and sweet potatoes here. Nheless, Su Binn had nned to let the vigers grow these things.
It was good for the vigers, as their harvest would be bountiful even if they could not get a job at the tofu factory.
“That’s an exaggeration, Granduncle Su. You’re justplimenting me.” Su Binn felt embarrassed when an elder like her first granduncle praised her.
Chief Su said, “I’m not lying, Binn. You’ve sincerely helped the vigers a bunch. Everyone is talking about your embroidery shop now. They thought you’d only hire people after construction and didn’t expect you to hire people a few days ago. Many people are envious.”
Su Binn knew Su Teng Vige was a little smaller than its neighbors, and if there were any news going around, the Su Teng Vige would immediately know about it.
She did not intend to hide that she would open an embroidery shop from anyone.
“Granduncle Su, I n to hire more people after the embroidery shop isplete. By then, I won’t only hire people from our vige but also people from neighboring viges.”
Chief Su waved, saying, “That’s okay, Binn. You can do whatever you want and not worry about a thing. You’ve already done the vige many great favors.
“Oh, we won’t have enoughnd if we let the vigers nt potatoes, sweet potatoes, and chilies when spring arrives.”
Su Binn smiled and exined, “Don’t worry about that, Granduncle Su. The production of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very high, so the vigers only need to use a small portion of theirnd.”
‘The production is high?’ Chief Su heard the keywords and knew his grandniece would not casually say such things. ‘Binn didn’t even say how high the rapeseed yield would be, but in my opinion, it should still be very high.’
Chief Su suppressed his excitement and asked, “Binn, you said the production would be high. How high?”
Su Binn blinked and said mysteriously, “One acre ofnd can produce a few thousand pounds of potatoes. We can probably produce eight thousand pounds of potatoes if it’s a good harvest.”
One acre ofnd could produce five to six thousand pounds of potatoes. However, since Su Binn had ced the potatoes into her pocket dimension, the effects would improve, and they should be able to produce about eight thousand pounds of potatoes.
Still, that was only a rough estimate.
Chief Su’s eyes widened when he heard that, and he was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, listening on the sidelines, his wife was so shocked that her hands trembled.
Grandaunt Su did not interrupt Su Binn when she spoke and listened quietly. However, she thought something was wrong with her ears when she heard what her grandniece said.
Su Binn noticed Chief Su’s expression and waved her hand before his eyes. “Granduncle Su? Granduncle Su.
She found his shocked expression amusing and wondered how the vigers would react if she told them how high the potato production would be next spring.
‘They probably wouldn’t believe it..’
