Chapter 827: Like Prompt Rain

Doctor Yang and her husband had eaten various tofu products in Su Teng

Village. However, they found the tofu in the tomato soup was unique. It was as if the tofu had absorbed the tomato flavor, making it fresher.

When the soup reached their stomachs, they felt a warmth inside.

Grandaunt Yang bit into the tofu and felt how smooth it was. She did not even have to chew. “Wow, it melts in your mouth!”

The old woman was in disbelief. She ate a few more mouthfuls to ensure it was soft and smooth. Her teeth were no longer strong, so she could not eat hard foods. She had also lost a few teeth, so she was careful when eating.

Even when eating steamed buns, she would dip them in soup to further soften them. Still, she did not expect the tofu to melt in her mouth and taste so good.

Lady Liu was shocked when she ate the tofu. More importantly, she knew her mother-in-law had trouble eating solid foods.

Yang Cheng nodded as he ate. He had woken up a little later than everyone that morning. Su Wenxiu told him that it might be because of the side effects of the anesthetic.

However, Yang Cheng felt a cooling sensation coming from his injured leg. He did not know why, but he believed his leg would recover before he realized it.

Su Binglan smiled and explained, “The tofu is soft, so people with poor teeth can enjoy it. Tofu is also nutritious. Although, I didn’t bring anything like tofu pudding or soy milk. Those two are just as delicious.”

Grandaunt Yang happily said, “If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have such delicious food, Miss Su.’

Su Binglan smiled. “Once we finish building the medicinal herb factory, Yang Chang can help deliver the goods to Su Teng Village. That way, he will receive business trip allowances and earn more than the factory employees.

“Although he only has to transport goods, he’ll live here mostly. Yang Cheng, you can buy things from Su Teng Village before returning home. It’s cheaper to buy things from my village and then bring them back to your family.”

The family was stunned when they heard Su Binglan’s advice. She noticed the old woman’s silence and said, “Madam Yang, you can ask your son to check out the factories in Su Teng Village if you’re worried. You can work in one of them, but only if you want to.

“l just think Yang Cheng is capable. Rest assured, he will have people with him whenever he transports the medicinal herbs to my village.”

Yang Cheng said somewhat hesitantly, “No, no, Miss Su. I didn’t expect you to trust me with such a thing. l…l’m uneducated and uncultured. S-Still, I’ll try my best for you, I guess.”

Yang Cheng did not even know what he was saying. He only knew his heart was pounding from excitement. He even became teary-eyed. Meanwhile, his wife quietly wiped her tears.

Last night, she had heard about the wages and bonuses Su Binglan paid her employees. With that much money, a family could live a good life. Lady Liu would no longer have to worry about her son going to the mountains to pick herbs when he was old enough.

Indeed, the mountains had many medicinal herbs, but it was perilous over there. When Yang Cheng used to pick herbs, Lady Liu would always worry about him. She would only feel relieved when he returned.

Before getting pregnant with her second child, she would always accompany her husband to pick herbs. However, she could no longer help him because of her pregnancy.

Lady Liu remembered her husband not returning once, even when it was in the middle of the night—that day frightened her half to death. Fortunately, the villagers found him and brought him back from the mountain.

Although Yang Cheng had broken his leg, Lady Liu was thankful he was still alive. Even so, the family started struggling to earn money because of his injury.

The family was still worried, but their worries seemed to disappear when Su Binglan came. Grandaunt Yang’s voice trembled as she said, “Thank you on behalf of my family, Miss Su.”

Su Binglan saw the family standing up and hurriedly said, “No, no, please sit down, everyone. I still need your help with opening the factory.

“I’m offering bonuses to the villagers because they’ll create value and profits by working in the factory. The profits will be far more than the salary and bonuses I give to the employees.”

Even though Su Binglan said so, she still saved Grandaunt Yangs family from extreme poverty. Su Binglan’s arrival resembled a timely rain to the family. Not only did her brother heal Yang Chengs leg, but Su Binglan also solved their living problems.

They considered Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu their benefactors.

Su Binglan then briefly explained the medicinal herb factory’s operations to the family.

Yang Cheng listened attentively and could not stop thinking about how much he could earn to support his family. He felt warm inside and could not wait for his leg to recover.

He was also eager for the factory to open so that he could start work immediately.

Even Grandaunt Yang and Lady Liu felt energetic at that moment. Doctor Yangs eyes lit up when she saw her grandaunt’s smile. The former looked at Su Binglan and noticed the morning light shining on her.

Doctor Yang was stunned, thinking Su Binglan resembled a guardian angel who had appeared to help the commoners.

Su Binglan did not know how much the family admired her. She only came here to build the factory and hoped to help these hardworking villagers.

After chatting and having breakfast, the old woman brought Su Binglan to the village chief’s house. The sun had already risen, and most of the villagers had already eaten breakfast.

Some went to work in the fields with hoes, while others carried baskets on their backs and headed to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs. As the villagers walked around, they saw Su Binglan, Doctor Yang, and the others.

The villagers were thrilled when they saw Doctor Yang.

“Is that you, Ge’er?”

Doctor Yang looked at the villagers and greeted them warmly. Grandaunt Yang also explained to the villagers that her grandniece was okay. Everyone was happy for Doctor Yang.

The villagers also noticed Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. However, they were too shy to ask about the brother-sister duo. The villagers thought the duo was simply Doctor Yangs relatives.

However, some sharp-eyed villagers noticed that Grandaunt Yang was bringing the duo to visit the village chief..
