Chapter 321: Implicit Expression
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wenxiu looked easy to talk to but was the most moral person in the world. He knew Old Madam Li was asking these questions on the villagers’ behalf and what the villagers were most concerned about.
Everyone had seen the benefits of working in the tofu factory and wanted to find more work with the Su family. Everyone felt that his sister, Su Binglan, was someone who would do great things.
Su Wenxiu was also incredibly proud whenever he mentioned Su Binglan. She was his little sister, after all.
Sure, Su binglan was their little sister, and they should be taking care of her—instead, she was taking care of them like an older sister.
Su Wenxiu knew he should support this family and that Su Binglan was still so young. His heart ached at the thought of this. However, when he saw the smile on his sister’s face every day, he felt that his mood would improve.
Therefore, he had to work hard to learn medicine and his sister’s abilities. That way, he could help his sister and make things easier for her. One would say that the older brothers in the Su family had a sister complex.
Of course, Su Binglan deserved better treatment because she was good and treated her family well.
Old Madam Li felt rather emotional when she heard Su Wenxiu’s words. She felt that the Su family had genuinely helped the villagers too much.
Now, not only were the people of Su Teng village benefiting from the Su family, but even the people from the surrounding villages benefitted from them.
Since Su Fengchen had bought many chicken and duck eggs from the villagers, their lives improved by raising more ducks and chickens.
Now that Su Binglan had opened a hotpot restaurant, she started to buy pork and lamb. Many families also began thinking of ways to buy miniature pigs and lamb to raise. When they raised them, they could slaughter them to make money.
No one dared to invest too much into these things in the past, mainly because they had difficulties selling lamb and pigs. Not only would it be a waste of effort, but they might even be unable to recover their costs.
Even if the villagers sold pork and lamb at the end of the year, only some would buy them. The villagers had trouble selling these things, so they could only lower the price.
Therefore, as time passed, many families stopped raising pigs and lamb.
The villagers who raised chickens and ducks could sell eggs for money. Even if they could not sell the eggs, they could still cook and feed them to their children at home.
However, raising pigs was different as only a few were willing to raise them just to slaughter the pigs and eat their meat. Still, things had changed.
Li Dazhuang, who worked for Su Wenwu in the village, needed a lot of pork and mutton to help the hot pot restaurant with its ingredients. Now, he was collecting pigs and mutton from the villagers.
Now, no one needed to worry about not being able to sell their pigs and mutton. A few families that raised pigs and lambs had made a lot of money during this time.
Even Old Madam Li thought it was pretty magical. Now that the Su family’s conditions had improved, everyone else’s conditions followed suit after the family helped the villagers.
“Everyone is grateful to you, but they are too embarrassed to say it.”
In that era, people were still subtle with their words and did not express their gratitude in such a straightforward way. However, Old Madam Li could say it and speak up for everyone.
“I know, Old Madam Li,” Su Wenxiu nodded and continued, “The people in our village are nice.”
“That’s right. Everyone is very united. In the past, everyone helped each other whenever they encountered any problems. Of course, everyone here knows what’s good for them. Everyone’s lives have improved thanks to your family, and they will remember these things.”
Su Wenxiu felt a burning sensation in his heart when he heard that. He liked how it felt to help himself and others. Of course, it was all thanks to his sister since he had yet to do anything. Still, he thought he would have to learn more from his sister in the future.
Old Madam Li left after talking to Su Wenxiu for a while.
Many were waiting for Old Madam Li not far away. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the smile on Old Madam Li’s face. It seemed that Su Binglan was willing to do consultations for everyone.
The villagers were shocked when Old Madam Li conveyed Su Binglan’s message to everyone. They widened their eyes in disbelief.
“We don’t need to pay for our village’s treatment?” “Old Madam Li, did you hear correctly?”
“I’ve never heard of a doctor giving free consultations.”
“That’s right. Our village has benefited a lot from the Su family.”
“If it weren’t for the Su family, how could we make money by relying on chicken and duck eggs without leaving the village?
‘Exactly. We have two pigs in our house and were worried we wouldn’t be able to sell them for a reasonable price before the end of the year, but we sold them two days ago at a fair price. It’s because of the hot pot restaurant Binglan opened that we can sell our pigs.”
“Binglan is such a good person.”
“Now that Li Dazhuang is working for Su Wenwu, his family’s condition is improving. He can eat good food now.”
“Old Madam Li can rest assured now.”
Old Madam Li and Li Dazhuangs grandmother were related, so she hoped Li Dazhuang would better himself. It was indeed good to have a proper job.
“It’s true. You guys heard it right,” said Old Madam Li.
“Theyll see patients tomorrow afternoon, but please hurry up, everyone. If you’re sick, see them quickly. Only our village won’t need to pay a consultation fee. Other villages need to pay. Also, please prioritize those who are in worse conditions.”
“That’s true. Su Binglan is so busy, but she still gives free consultations to everyone. Everyone should be considerate of her.”
“Su Binglan said the consultation is free, but we can’t let her do that. We have to bring her something.” “We can bring some wild vegetables and radishes we harvested.” “You can also bring eggs.”
“Binglan is a good person. She might not accept such gifts.”
As time passed, everyone knew what Su Binglan was like. They knew she had her principles and would think of the villagers. Moreover, everyone knew she did not lack these things, so they brought them as a token of appreciation.
The people of Su Teng village were straightforward and honest. Everyone was simple-minded and would not hide anything. Everyone prioritized leading good lives.
After some discussion, everyone went home early.
Soon after, the other villagers got the news. Since there were only a few dozen households in Su Teng village, the news would quickly spread. Many people were free at this time and would have nothing to do, so they stood on the streets to chat and gossip.
Also, after the tofu factory’s expansion, many women in the village went to work there. Some households would have the men stay home instead.
After a few days of rest, the men felt the importance of having a woman at home. Since the women could make money now, the men also began cleaning the house and learning to cook.
All in all, every family in the village lived happily because of the excellent atmosphere around Su Teng village.
Lin Chai hurried home and quickly told his wife, Miss He, about the consultation..
