Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan told Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian some more things to take note of and then returned home. After getting home, she designed some wine jars and bottles in new styles. After all, holding wine in such things would look unique.
After completing the designs, she left straight for Willow Village. Many villagers on the streets immediately recognized her.
“It’s Miss Su.”
“Miss Su!”
That was because a few Willow Villages had visited Su Teng Village a few days ago for the embroidery shop interview. Everyone enthusiastically greeted her, and she smiled at them.
She still wanted to hire people from Willow Village and Stone Village, mainly because the two villages were close to Su Teng Village. After all, the workers would have to travel back and forth when they started working at the embroidery shop.
The workers could only stay at the dormitories when the construction team finished building them.
Su Binglan had considered this aspect when hiring. Since the embroidery shop was huge, she could hire more people later. However, she could only hire a portion of them for now. She would hire more people when the embroidery shop was on the right track.
If not, there would be too many people to manage simultaneously, and Ding Wan would get overwhelmed. Of course, many people still made orders for the embroidery shop.
Still, Su Binglan could not take too many orders because she was too busy. She knew the items the embroidery shop made would be popular, but she did not expect them to sell out so quickly.
People had already wanted to order their items in bulk on the opening day. However, rushing out the required backpacks, handbags, rag dolls, and sweaters would take time.
Everyone saw Su Binglan walking toward the Taos’ workshop and could not help but start discussing it.
“Does the Taos’ workshop now belong to Miss Su?”
“I heard Miss Su saved the Taos’ and even paid off the pine wood they owed. She even bought the Tao family’s workshop.
“No wonder Zhenggang called his two sons back from the docks some time ago. The family even went to town and bought many things. Miss Su was the one who helped solve their problems.”
“I wondered why Zhenggang suddenly put up a sign at his workshop with the words Su’s Pottery on it.”
“Someone saw the Taos delivering goods to Su Teng Village this morning. The Taos made massive pots and jars, but I don’t know what they’re for.”
“Don’t worry about what happened. At least the Taos’ days are improving now.
Miss Li smiles more often, too. Miss Su is such a good person.”
“I agree. My second daughter started working as an embroiderer and said it’s progressing well. She also told me her team leader would guide her if she didn’t know how to do something. They teach her step by step and are very patient.
“She says the working environment there is excellent, and she has made many friends. Everyone is helping and learning from each other.”
“Granny Wang’s granddaughter also works at the embroidery shop now. The quieter people are more willing to talk now, even though they’ve only worked there for a few days. Also, only girls work at the embroidery shop.”
“All right, let’s go home before it gets dark. It’s good that more than ten people from our village got the embroidery job. Everyone can return here together after work.’
Everyone discussed the pottery shop and the embroidery shop.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan took her designs to the pottery workshop. Tao Zhenggang, Miss Li, and their two sons were tidying up the pine wood when Su Binglan arrived.
Although they had completed Su Binglan’s order, the family did not slack off and continued preparing for their next order. Then they could immediately start working should Su Binglan or others order more things.
Tao Zhenggang and his family had been living average lives during this period. They were constantly together and could have three daily meals now. They no longer felt pressured, and the whole family smiled as they made pottery.
Pottery was a craft, and the Taos were delighted they could make a living with their skills. In particular, the family no longer had burdens and would not feel tired. They could even sleep well these days.
Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong cherished their current life of earning more money at home. They only learned how good it was to sleep well and eat homemade food after suffering, working hard in the cold, and constantly feeling hungry.
Moreover, the two boys no longer had to miss their parents and their home since they lived together harmoniously. The two boys could work with their parents and earn money as a family.
Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong would talk and laugh with their parents daily. It was a happy and harmonious time for them. It was no longer as depressing as it was in the past.
The entire family was ecstatic when they saw Su Binglan.
“Miss Su is here!” Miss Li looked at Su Binglan and quickly stood up.
“Miss Su!” Tao Zhenggang was also very respectful toward Su Binglan. “Hello, Miss Su!” Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong looked at the young lady and awkwardly stood there. That was their first meeting with the young lady, so they felt she had a noble and powerful aura when they saw her.
“Everyone, please sit down. There’s no need to be so formal.” Su Binglan smiled.
She looked at Tao Zhenggang and said, “I’ve seen all the jars and pots you’ve made, and I am pleased with their quality.”
Tao Zhenggang said in embarrassment, “Miss Su, you’re too kind!”
Although he said that, he was ecstatic and thrilled to be praised by Su Binglan. He twiddled his thumbs and did not know where to put his hands. All he could think about was Su Binglan’s praise.
Miss Li went to pour some water for the young lady and said, “Dayong and
Eryong helped us a bunch, too.”
Su Binglan had heard that Tao Dayong was 18 while Tao Eryong was only 14. She looked at Tao Dayong and felt he was calm and good-looking. Of course, she had also heard about his ex-wife leaving him.
She said, “They look like fine gentlemen, Miss Li.”
“Aw, you’re too kind, Miss Su. Indeed, my two sons are dutiful and sensible.”
Miss Li hoped the young lady would notice her two sons. After all, she wanted Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong to continue working for Su Binglan in the future. Then she would not have to worry about anything, especially since Su Binglan was kind.
Su Binglan smiled. “Miss Li, our workshop will be bigger than this in the future as we expand. When that time comes, your two sons can be our managers.”
Miss Li became even more excited when she heard that. “Thank you so much, Miss Su. They would still work at the docks if it weren’t for you. I couldn’t help but worry about them in the past.”
She became scared just thinking of that. She would not have known how hard it was if her sons did not return to tell her. To Miss Li, Su Binglan had saved her family and became their benefactor..
