When Zhou Yuzhi arrived at Qianweilou, he saw Su He and others busying around, so he didn't go over to say hello. When he was about to leave, he asked the shop assistant to pack some things for him to take back.

Su family.

Just after noon, everyone in the Su family came back carrying mushrooms.

After lunch, Old Man Su went to the open space next to him to check the progress of the wall building. Then he went to the village head's house and told him about his plan to open a sweet potato flour workshop and recruit a few people in the village to work in his workshop.

When buying the land a few days ago, Old Man Su gave some sweet potato flour to the head of the village, so the head of the village also knew about this thing.

When the village head heard that Old Man Su wanted to open a workshop in the village and recruit people to work there, he stood up in shock and asked, "Are you serious?"

You have to know that Yunli Village is located in a remote area, and it is very difficult for people in the village to make money. It is also inconvenient to go to the town to find odd jobs. There are no ox carts, and if you go to the town to find odd jobs, you need a place to live.

Therefore, most people can only live in the village, relying on their own one acre and three mu of land to make a living. If there is a natural disaster and the harvest is poor, life will be even more difficult for the family.

Now if the Su family could open a workshop in the village and give priority to hiring people from their own village to work in the workshop, it would be a great thing that they could earn money without going out.

Moreover, yesterday Old Man Su found a lot of people in the village to build a wall for his house, and paid them a lot of money. Today, the news spread all over the village.

Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they had not been on good terms with the Su family in the past. Otherwise, when something good happened today, the Su family would definitely call them first.

I heard that the wage is fifteen cents a day, which is not even as much as that earned by doing odd jobs in town.

"Really? I came here today to tell you this. We also want to take care of the people in our own village first."

After these days, Old Man Su has learned a lot. His family's life is getting better and better, and he has opened a workshop in the village again.

There will naturally be many people who are jealous in the future. Now that we are planning to recruit people in the village, we must make everything clear first and let the head of the village know that we are helping the people in the village.

We are all from the same village. If there is any quarrel in the future, the village head will naturally come to administer justice.

"It's just that there is no order without rules. We are all from the same village. If someone has some opinions, then..."

Although Old Man Su didn't say it out loud, the head of the village naturally understood what he meant. However, it was reasonable for the Su family to have such concerns.

Seeing that the Su family has bought cows and land, and is now planning to open a workshop, it seems that the Su family will surely rise in the future.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who are jealous in the future. It would not be good if any rumors spread among people in the same village.

The head of the village understood the reason why Old Man Su came to see him today, and waved his hand at him, making his attitude clear:

"I know this. You guys are doing well at home and you don't want to help the people in the village. This is a good thing. Just do it with confidence."

The headman paused, as if thinking of something, and then said, "If anyone speaks dirty words and makes trouble, just come find me. With me here, no one can make any trouble."

In this village, his words still count.

With the head of the village's words, Old Man Su felt relieved and nodded repeatedly.

On the other hand, after Xie made mushroom jam with the mushrooms she picked up in the morning, she went to the Lu family next door and told Yunrong that she wanted to find her to be the manager of their sweet potato flour workshop.

Yun Rong agreed without saying a word.

This was a great thing. She knew that the Su family was taking good care of them because they were an orphan and a widow, but there was not much work to do in the town now.

Being able to work at the Su family without having to go so far away and not interfering with the work in one's own fields is something that others can't even ask for.

Afterwards, he followed Xie to the Su family and learned how to make sweet potato flour with them. After the workshop was opened in two days, he would be able to start making it right away.

Afternoon application time.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street. Su He packed up the last bit of food and handed it to Su Zhiyan and Lu Yunqi, urging them to go back to the academy first.

The two saw that they were done for the day and it was time to close the stall.

They had originally planned to pack up everything with the three of them before leaving, but Su He glanced at them and told them not to do anything else. So they had no choice but to go back first.

"Okay, let's pack up and go back. I wonder how the fence at home is doing?"

Su He was still thinking about building the wall at home. Today, a merchant happened to pass by. After trying the sweet potato noodles at the stall, he started asking Su He about it.

When he learned that he could place an order, he asked for a lot directly and gave a deposit of one or two taels of silver.

I have agreed with Su He that I will come to pick up the goods when I pass by Sifang Town on my way back in a few days.

After receiving the deposit, the goods must be shipped on time. Su He is now eager to go back and check on the progress of the work. He can't delay anything.

When the Su family's ox cart entered the village, seeing many children following the cart all the way, Su He and the other two once again became the subject of discussion among the villagers.

"See? The Su family bought a bullock cart. Now they go out every day. I don't know where they go."

"You may not know this, but the Su family is very powerful now. They have set up a stall to sell food in the town."

One of the ladies curled her lips, her eyes full of envy.

"My boss happened to be in town yesterday buying something and saw it. Business is booming."

"This is impossible. Can the Su family bring Xia Mei along when doing business?"

Xia Mei has just been married to Su Mu for a short time, so this is probably not hearsay.

There are still some people who don't believe that the Su family might go to the town to set up a stall, but they can't bring Xia Mei with them.

"Why not? My husband saw it with his own eyes. Xia Mei has signed a severance agreement with the Xia family and is now a member of the Su family. How can this be impossible?"

In the past two days, the Su family's ox cart returned to the village, and many people saw it.

When everyone heard what he said, it seemed to make sense, and they looked at Xia Mei with even more envy.

Xia Mei made the right decision to marry into the Su family. Not only were the Su family members good to her, but they also allowed her to accompany them even for important events like setting up a stall in town. This was countless times better than her previous life in the Xia family.

Moreover, the news that the Su family is planning to open a workshop should have spread throughout the village. Today, Old Man Su has already found several people and said that they will start work after the wall is built in a few days.

I heard that the salary was quite high, and many people were jealous. However, with the village head watching, those who were ready to make a move gave up.
