Chapter 430: News to the Other Villages
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mrs. Song got choked up because she was too excited and happy.
Song Yi looked at his parents and became misty-eyed. “Our lives will improve soon, Mother and Father. I’ll work hard to earn money, so you won’t have to trouble yourselves with hard labor anymore.”
“You’re a good son, Song Yi,” Mr. Song said, pleased.
“By the way, someone might be able to heal your foot.” That was the most crucial piece of information to the older couple. Mr. and Mrs. Song became even more excited when they heard that.
Su Wenwu had told Song Yi that his second brother could heal Mr. Song’s foot, and the family was ecstatic.
Thrilled, Mrs. Song said, “I remember that you love to eat brown sugar steamed buns, so I made some with noodles this afternoon.”
Brown sugar was costly, and no one would bear to buy such a thing. However, Mrs. Song recalled her son having a real job now, which could earn him at least 150 coins a month. Therefore, she was willing to make brown sugar steamed buns.
Although she said she had made the steamed buns, she only put a little brown sugar on them, just enough to sweeten them. Still, it was delicious to ordinary farmers.
However, to ordinary farmers, it was already very delicious. They typically could not even bear to eat white steamed buns, let alone with brown sugar on them.
Song Yi was delighted and only ate the steamed buns without having other dishes during dinner. He also gave the stinky tofu to his parents to try.
Mr. and Mrs. Song had never eaten any delicacies before, but they enjoyed the stinky tofu after trying it for the first time. The family ate their dinner happily.
After walking around town, Su Binglan returned to the accessory store and found it empty. She frowned slightly and asked, “What happened here?”
There was not a single item left in the store.
“Binglan, two foreign businessmen came and bought everything in our store,” Su Wenzhe explained. He and his wife were in a daze and had yet to return to their senses entirely.
“We had nothing else to do in the store after the businessmen bought everything. Three of them came in one after another, asking about the items. They bought them all shortly after.”
Su Binglan was astounded when she heard that. She thought someone had robbed the store but did not expect to sell out of so many items so quickly. She did not even publicize the store, yet the customers had emptied the place.
“That’s okay. I don’t have any more items to sell for now,” Su Binglan said,
“That was all the embroiderers made.”
“What if more people ask about the items and want to buy them?”
After some thought, Su Binglan answered, “Although we don’t have any more stock, you two can continue looking after the store. I will bring one of each item tomorrow morning.
“When the customers come, tell them to go to Su l s Embroidery Shop in three days to place their orders. They can order their items in advance, and we’ll deliver them on time when we finish them.”
Su Binglan knew she had to hurry up and make arrangements with the embroiderers.
“All right, Little Sister. Oh, here’s the money we earned from selling the items.
I never thought we’d earn so much so quickly.”
Work flooded Su Binglan over the next few days as she began hiring large numbers of people to work as embroiderers. This time, she hired not only people from Su Teng Village but also people from neighboring villages.
She also said that the staff dormitories would be ready in a month, and those who lived far away would not have to worry. Of course, the first month would be challenging, but the workers could live in the dormitories soon.
Those who had heard the news came from far and wide for the interview. After all, the nearby villages knew about Su Teng Village.
Everyone went to Su Teng Village before dawn and lined up when they heard Su Binglan would hire people from neighboring villages to work as embroiderers.
When the Su Teng villagers came out for breakfast, they were shocked to see the long queue. Even Mrs. Song had come to line up for the interview.
Meanwhile, business boomed for Song Yi over the past few days. He would typically finish work in the afternoon and run home to have dinner with his parents at night.
Since Song Yi no longer had any other work to do in the morning, he decided to set up the dining cart at noon and finish work early so that he could run back and forth every day.
With that, he could share his experiences and news with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Song was also happy to see their son like this, and the family was the happiest whenever they had dinner together.
Since Song Yi worked for Su Binglan in town, he would hear people discussing things when he went to pick up more stinky tofu to sell.
When he learned that Su Binglan would hire people from other villages to work as embroiderers, he quickly went home to tell his mother about it. Soon after, Song Yi accompanied his mother to the interview before sunrise.
Quite a few people showed up, and everyone was ecstatic.
“I didn’t expect Miss Su to hire people from other villages.”
“Yeah. That’s why we came here early in the morning to line up. We feared the positions would be full if we were late.”
“I heard Miss Su pays a lot, and the more we work, the more we’ll earn.”
“I heard there will be staff dormitories nearby in a month. I don’t know what dormitories are, but I’m guessing they’re resting places. Those living far away won’t need to go home and can sleep in the dormitories instead.” “We can apply for a single dormitory if our whole family works here.”
“Wow, that’s perfect!”
“I wonder if I’ll get the embroiderer job.” “Yeah, I didn’t expect to see so many people.”
“Which village are you guys from?
The people got a little bored while lining up, so they chatted. Some said which villages they were from, surprising the others. Those people were too far away from Su Teng Village.
“Even people from that far away came for the interview?
“That’s so far. Why did you come all the way here? Also, how did you hear the news about Su Teng Village?
Someone replied smilingly, “We came here to buy rapeseed before. We met Miss Shen when we were getting oil in Northern Song Village. We learned a lot about Su Teng Village from then on. Of course, we came for such an excellent job opportunity.”
“My biological family lives here. It’ll be more convenient for me to return to them to see my parents and brother if I work as an embroiderer here.”
Su Binglan did not expect to see so many people, but she quickly got through the interviews. She registered many people’s information and also learned about them.
However, she needed more time to review the information she had gathered from so many people. So, she could only hire them first and review them in detail later.
Su Binglan was shocked when she saw Mrs. Song and noticed that Song Yi had accompanied her. Mrs. Song had never traveled so far, and Song Yi feared his mother would get tired and faint. Hence, he brought her to Su Teng Village just before sunrise.
Su Binglan said, “Mrs. Song, you can go to the temporary embroidery shop and look for my Aunt Ding.”
Su Binglan liked hiring people who knew her background. She knew how Song
Yi was, and his mother was good, too. Su Binglan could tell at a glance that Mrs. Song was honest, so she would feel at ease if someone like Mrs. Song worked at the embroidery shop. Song Yi and his mother were stunned.
‘W-What?’
The mother-son duo was initially nervous. Still, the duo did not expect the interview to be over just like that..
