    Su Binn cared about her parents’ feelings. She would be happy as long as they were happy. That was because she had experienced Lan Ruobings parents dying at a young age. It was unbearable.


    Now that she lived as Su Binn, she would cherish her loving parents for as long as possible. Moreover, she understood her mother’s feelings. For example, Su Binn missed Lan Ruozhu, even though she was part of the Su family.


    Her heart would feel much more rxed when her loved ones lived the best possible lives. Su Binn would feel excellent mentally.


    Shen Qiuhui sighed, “You’re such a dutiful daughter. People often say daughters are the most considerate, and you prove them right.”


    Su Binn replied, “Cousin Mohen is a dutiful son. He’s also attentive and often talks about you. He misses you very much. Cousin has been listening to you and looking for my mother all these years. Although Cousin Mohen doesn’t say it, I know he cares about you.”


    Shen Mohen was mostly talkative during meals and wanted to stay with the Su family. He wanted to treat Shen Qiuhua better and spend more time with her on his father’s behalf.


    Su Binn had noticed these things about Shen Mohen.


    Shen Qiuhui said, “l was always strict with Mohen in the past.”


    ‘That’s because I experienced the family’s internal strife when I was young.


    When 1 became the head of the family, I didn’t want that to happen again. That’s why I was so strict with my son.


    ‘l want him to be a qualified leader in the future and manage everything in the family. That way, there won’t be any more bloodshed among the Shens.’


    Although Shen Qiuhui kept these thoughts to himself, he felt his niece would understand somehow.


    The two continued to discuss business. Afterward, Shen Qiuhui told his niece about some matters in the capital, “Don’t consider the fact that Chu Capital hasn’t started a war yet.


    “The Imperial Court is weak, and the local military has too much power. They will take over the Imperial Court. At that time, the capital will be in chaos.


    However, heroes emerge from troubled times, which could also lead to prosperity.


    “I traveled here from the capital and found that only Dingzhou is peaceful and stable.” Shen Qiuhui was highly optimistic about King Lan Ruozhu.


    If the capital were to have a new emperor, Shen Qiuhui hoped King Lan Ruozhu would take the position. Shen Qiuhui knew Lan Ruozhu would be an excellent emperor.


    “Which side do you support, Uncle Quihui?”


    Initially, Shen Qiuhui did not want to take sides, but he became curious when he heard his niece’s question. He looked at her thoughtfully and seemed to have understood something.


    He said, “If you have someone you support, the Shen family will be behind you 100% ”


    Su Binn smiled. “Thank you, Uncle Quihui.”


    The Shens were among the six most prominent families. Others would never underestimate their strength. With Shen Qiuhui’s help, it would be easy for Su Binn, Lan Ruozhu, and Luo Jin’an to rope in more power in the capital. Su Binn wanted to use economic means to control the capital. That way, she could prepare for her brother to bring in troops when the time came. Moreover, she had to go there to get revenge.


    After the discussion, Su Binn said, “I’ll be opening a few more factories here, including a snack and toy factory.”


    Shen Qiuhui knew the things Su Binn’s factory produced would be perfect. He said, “I’ll buy and sell them after you’ve produced them.”


    “Don’t worry, Uncle Quihui. I’ll make extras and keep them aside for you.”


    Afterward, Su Binn mentioned her ns for building houses. Shen Qiuhui got excited, saying, “l t d like to buy one of those houses so I can visit more often.’


    He felt rxed andfortable after staying in Su Teng Vige for the past few days. After all, he ate and slept well and enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Moreover, the vigers here seemed wonderful.


    The most important thing was that he could see his step- sister more often. Additionally, Shen Mohen liked living in Su Teng Vige, so Shen Qiuhui was more than willing to buy a house here.


    When the time came, he would entrust the Shen family’s affairs to his son and retire in Su Teng Vige. Just thinking about it excited Shen Qiuhui. He had also heard from Shen Qiuhua that a y would happen soon.


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He said, “Oh, isn’t


    Wenwu going to open his m hotpot restaurant in two days?”


    Su Binn nodded. “Since the Lantern Festival is in two days, my brother wants to open the restaurant then. Do you want to try m hotpot, Uncle Shen Qiuhui nodded and smiled. He had tasted many delicacies over the past few days and heard that m hotpot would also be delicious. Therefore, he looked forward to it.


    “Everyone will go and eat together when Wenwu opens his restaurant.”


    Su Wenwu initially thought he would not need a big shop for his restaurant. However, people kepting to ask about it as soon as he hung the signboard on the door.


    He realized he would get more customers than anticipated, so he connected two shops and added a second floor. That way, the restaurant could amodate many people. When the time came, the ce would be swarming with customers.


    The family nned to support him since he would open on the day of the Lantern Festival. It would also make the restaurant livelier.


    Shen Quihui smiled when he heard about the restaurant. He was excited for his nephew, saying, “That’s great! It’ll be good to be in a lively ce.”


    The uncle and niece talked a lot about business. Shen Qiuhiu became increasingly excited the more he spoke. He did not expect his young niece to know more about certain things than him.


    Shen Qiuhui felt he could learn a lot from Su Binn. He listened to her with great interest, especially regarding the construction of hermercial street.


    Shen Qiuhui looked at Su Binn’s drawing and asked, “You mean to build a shopping mall and a food street there?”


    “That’s right. This ce will develop well with the shopping mall and food street. I also n to include a farmer’s market for everyone to buy daily necessities.


    “If people have nothing else to do, they can go there to shop. They’ll happily buy snacks even if they don’t buy much. This ce will be prosperous and lively.


    “Even if people go there to buy clothes, they would stroll around and see all the food there. Then, they would buy some, among other things. People can go to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables.


    “Thismercial street will be bustling with activity. Eating, living, and traveling will be more convenient when people start buying houses there.


    “Once they go to work, they can buy groceries on the way home. I’ve also bought the surroundingnd to nt and grow crops.”


    There was plenty ofnd around Willow Vige and Stone Vige, so Su Binn bought them all. Everyone bought houses nearby and moved there. They could also buynd nearby to grow crops.


    They would also have plenty of high-yield grain here. Even if they nted crops with just one acre, they could produce a lot of grain,parable to their previous three-acre harvest. Sweet potatoes and potatoes were also


    high-yield crops..
