Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yishi and Cai Shi felt motivated when they thought about how much money they could earn. Although they had only been in Su Teng Village for three days, they felt spirited.

When they were in East Hill Village, they felt lost and powerless. However, things changed after moving to Su Teng Village.

Old Madam Lin smiled faintly. She had not smiled since Lin Ershi died in the war. Still, she knew the family had to continue with their lives.

She looked at her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, knowing she had to pull herself together and help them. She said, “We can truly settle down once we have our own house.

“Although Miss Su said we could always stay in the dorm for free, I still think it’s better to have a house with a yard.”

Cai Shi nodded, saying, “l think so, too. We’ll give you whatever we earned, and you can help us save up.”

Old Madam Lin was kind to her daughter-in-law, and the latter knew that. Still, Cai Shi felt her mother-in-law was better at saving money, so she wanted Old Madam Lin to be the family’s treasurer.

Old Madam Lin said, “All right, I’ll handle the money. You can rest assured and do what you need to. I will also help take care of the housework.”

“Thank you, Mother-in-law,” Cai Shi said smilingly.

“You don’t have to be so polite. I’ll be happy as long as you, Yishi, and Xiaoxi live better lives,” Old Madam Lin spoke sincerely.

Cai Shi said, “When we have our own place, Yishi and I will have another child. We want Xiaoxi to have a sibling to keep him company. We’ll have to trouble you to care for them, too.”

Old Madam Lin became teary-eyed, saying, “All right, I’ll help you take care of your children.”

Indeed, she hoped to have many grandchildren in her old age. She wanted her family’s home to be lively.

Lin Xiaoxi was delighted. ‘1 1 want a younger sibling!’

Lin Yishi and Cai Shi never dared to consider having another child in the past because of their poor living conditions. However, they felt hopeful after moving to Su Teng Village and would even consider having a third child.

Old Madam Lin smiled when she thought about her future grandchildren. It was rare for her to eat so much, but she did that night. She would typically only eat half a steamed bun before losing her appetite.

Lin Yishi was happy to see his mother eating more. He was full of gratitude as he looked at his wife. The latter understood his thoughts. She smiled and told him, “You should eat more, too.’

Lin Yishi nodded but picked up the food and placed it into his wife’s bowl, saying, “l also want you to eat more.”

Old Madam Lin felt comforted after seeing how close her family was and how sensible her grandson was. After dinner, the family discussed their scones business. After a long discussion, they blew out the candles and went to bed.

Lin Yishi woke up before dawn the following day. He quietly left the room and went to the kitchen to cook. He moved lightly, fearing he would wake up his family.

However, Cai Shi was a light sleeper, so she knew he had woken up. She got out of bed to wash up and then went to help her husband.

Lin Yishi asked, “Did I wake you?”

“No, I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d help you instead.” Cai Shi felt sorry for her husband.

He pitied her, too, saying, “You can sleep in since you’ll start work at the paper mill later.’

Cai Shi shook her head. “Working at the paper mill won’t be too tiring, so don’t worry. Miss Shen brought me there to familiarize myself with the working environment.

“She told me that the paper-making process is straightforward but meticulous. We’ll get a lot of business if we sell the paper we make. 1 also heard that the embroidery shop and tofu factory employees receive two- silver bonuses.

“They get their bonuses during the New Year, and some even receive more than ten silver.” Cai Shi’s heart raced just mentioning the numbers. She also told her husband these things to cheer him up.

Indeed, Lin Yishi was delighted, saying, “I’ll make the best scones and set up a stall at the neighborhood’s entrance in a few days. I’ll also make time to ask about renting a shop. I’ll rent the closest one to the dorm.”

The couple discussed their goals as they cooked together.

“People will pass by our shop when they go to and from work. Hopefully, they buy our scones on the way to work to have for breakfast.”

“Yeah, that sounds good.”

Other people also lived on the first floor. Most, including the Cao family from Hillock Village, had come from the prefecture to work in the paper mill and printing factory.

Old Master Cao, his wife, and his grandchildren had moved to Su Teng Village and lived on the first floor of the staff dormitory. The older couple woke up early that morning to prepare breakfast for their two grandchildren.

They planned to send their granddaughter to medical school and let their grandson attend Blue Mountain Academy.

Old Madam Cao said, “I didn’t expect education to be so accessible here. The medical school is only a few steps away, while Blue Mountain Academy is fifteen minutes away.

“However, one of the villagers told me that there’s a carriage that picks up the students and sends them home after school. It’s safe for the children, too.

Princess Binglan has arranged everything for us. She’s such a good person.”

Old Master Cao and Old Madam Cao were nervous when they reached Su Teng Village. After spending several days here, they began to feel relieved. They knew many things about the village just by asking around.

Moreover, they discovered that no one knew Su Binglan was a princess. The villagers only knew her as Miss Su and constantly expressed their gratitude for her. Everyone knew their lives would not be this good without her.

The older couple realized how approachable Su Binglan was and how well she treated the villagers.

After making breakfast, Old Madam Cao went to the room to wake her grandchildren up. Their dorm also consisted of three rooms, making it a convenient place for the family to live.

Cao Shan was still in a daze after waking up. She asked, “Grandma, we’re in Su Teng Village, right?”

If she were in her old house, the roof would be leaking. Even so, the dorm was warm, allowing her to sleep soundly..
