Cai Shi could not stop smiling as she looked at the money on the table. She knew her family would be more hopeful if they could earn this much every day. Cai Shi even woke up before dawn and never felt tired. Instead, she felt motivated.
She did not rest at noon, either. She just wanted to help Lin Yishi with his scones business. Cai Shi had never felt so capable. When night fell, she would still feel energetic.
She was not the only one who felt that way. Old Madam Lin and Lin Yishi felt excited to wake up every day.
“Let’s rent a shop tomorrow,” Old Madam Lin said, “We’ll quickly install the stove inside and get a few tables and chairs.”
Although it was spring, it was still a little chilly in the morning and night. Old Madam Lin was worried about her son’s injured leg, but he did not mind it.
“Cai Shi, although our business is booming, you should still work hard in the paper mill,” Old Madam Lin said, “Princess Binglan has given you an excellent job.”
Cai Shi nodded. “l think so, too. No matter what happens in the future, our family will have a stable income. We will no longer have to worry about food or clothing.”
Without her mother-in-law’s help, Cai Shi would have helped her husband make and sell scones. She was worried that her husband would overwork himself.
Cai Shi could work at the paper mill in peace with her mother-in-law to help with the housework and family business. Even so, Cai Shi would help her husband during her afternoon break.
Before moving to Su Teng Village, she did all the work in the fields. She would do things neatly and work hard. Cai Shi also always felt she could do more. She would not feel tired if she could earn more to live a good life.
Old Madam Lin nodded. “Yes, but you should rest during your afternoon break and look after Xaioxi. I’ll help with the shop, okay? I don’t want you to tire yourself out.
“Last time, you had to take care of everything at home. I know it has been hard on you. You should take the chance to rest now that our lives have improved.”
The older woman had seen everything her daughter-in-law had done for this family. She wanted Cai Shi to feel at ease.
The latter shook her head, saying, “l promise not to overwork myself, Mother-in-law. Besides, you did more than I did when we were in our home village. ”
Indeed, Old Madam Lin had done more work in the fields than Cai Shi. If it were not for Lin Ershi’s death, the older woman would not have fallen ill so suddenly.
The doctors had told Old Madam Lin that she had fallen ill due to overworking and overthinking. She also lacked nutrients. Fortunately, Su Binglan had cured the older woman. The whole family was extremely grateful to her for that.
Old Madam Lin said, “That may be, but I insist that you get more rest and sleep earlier.”
“Mother, the work I do at the paper mill is simple. I don’t have to do much physically. I’m only responsible for drying the paper.”
Everyone at the paper mill had separate responsibilities. The division of labor was fair, too. Cai Shi’s job was fun for her, and she could even chat while working.
Moreover, she was amazed whenever she saw the raw materials form into paper after drying them. She felt like she was creating a miracle.
“Thank goodness for Princess Binglan,” Old Madam Lin sighed and looked at her grandson, saying, “Xiaoxi, you must remember the princess’s kindness toward our family. Study hard to repay her kindness.”
“l will, Grandma.” Lin Xiaoxi nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, Cai Shi remembered her experience in Su Teng Market. “l didn’t expect to see so many people at the market the day before yesterday.”
She was surprised to see so many stalls. Her husband sold even more scones on that day. Even Old Madam Lin found it unbelievable. “Su Teng Market is much bigger than the one in the prefecture. It’s bustling with activities here.” Old Madam Lin had used her free time to go shopping in the afternoon. She found the things there were cheap.
Cai Shi said, “The things you bought were excellent. I didn’t expect them to be so affordable, too.’
Old Madam Lin nodded. “The villagers say the things are cheaper in Su Teng
Market because a lot of people are around. After all, the vendors could sell more of their products with more visitors.”
After some thought, Cai Shi said, “You’re right. It’s just like how we sell scones. We sell them at cheaper prices, but we still earn a lot.”
“That’s true. If we sell our scones at high prices, most people wouldn’t buy them. It’s a small profit but a quick turnover.”
The family discussed many things. Not only was Su Teng Village beautiful, but even the customs were simple. Living here made the family feel much better. Moreover, the villagers were friendly and always helped each other.
A few dormitory managers often visited those who lived there and asked if the tenants needed help with anything. It gave the tenants a sense of warmth.
Meanwhile, Old Master Cao, his wife, and his grandchildren had dinner and chatted with each other. Cao Shan said excitedly, ‘Grandma, Grandpa, the medical school is lovely. We only have school for five days and have days off.
“The students there are friendly, and the teachers are knowledgeable. My classroom is spacious, too.” Cao Shan lit up as she spoke. She was thrilled to be studying medicine.
The students even studied and compared notes with each other.
“We sleep very well in the dorms. We like talking about our lessons before we sleep. Oh, the food at the cafeteria is delicious! I can have two big and soft steamed buns with every meal. We also get meat in every meal. I had pork rib rice for lunch yesterday.”
“Me too,” Cao Kang added, “The academy served pork rib rice for lunch today.
I heard the students calling it braised pork ribs.”
The brother-sister duo had been eating and sleeping well these past few days. Even their complexion was much better than before.
Old Master Cao and Old Madam Cao were pleased to see how excited their grandchildren were. Moreover, the old couple was happy to work at the paper mill.
Their jobs were straightforward, as they sat down while tidying up the papers. The two knew Su Binglan cared for them..
