Su Binglan had an excellent impression of her mother’s godparents. She had planned to cook for them when she went to pay her New Year’s greetings.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Yeah, but I was a little upset that you weren’t around.
My godparents missed you. They only considered visiting after the plowing season.”
Su Binglan asked, “Did you bring them around the village?”
“Of course I did. I brought everyone to have some food and watch the plays.
My godmother loved watching the dramas at the Grand Theater.” Shen Qiuhua was delighted when she spoke about her godparents.
She felt she could finally repay her godparents’ kindness. It was unlike the past when she constantly worried about them but could barely help. However, she felt relaxed and at ease now that she could treat them well.
“Lin Qin and Shen Gang did not expect Su Teng Village to be so well developed,” Su Fengmao said with a smile, “They were relieved when they took a look around.
“l noticed how much they enjoyed themselves, so we offered to let them stay. However, they insisted on returning to Arpicot Mountain Village. I think they’ve grown to treat that place as their home.
“Lin Qin and the others are making plenty of money by selling their mung bean sprouts. They’ve even bought extra land and built a big house for themselves.
“Shen Gang and the family needed to plant so many mung beans that they had to hire people to help. Now, they won’t be so tired and can feel much more relaxed.’
Su Binglan nodded. “That’s good to hear. There’s now a courier station here, so we can send them some things in the future.”
Liu Yinyin excitedly said, “The courier station is perfect, Binglan. My parents like how convenient it is to deliver things to their relatives. That way, they can maintain their kinship.”
Shen Qiuhua agreed, “You’re right. If only we had that station in the past. Still, we’re grateful to have it now. Anyone in the village can utilize it.”
Su Fengmao praised, “l like the convenience of the courier station, too. The illiterate villagers can get the couriers to write and send letters for free.”
Su Wenzhe chimed in, “Yeah, even the factory workers speak highly of the courier station.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled, saying, “Most of the paper mill and printing factory workers are from the prefecture. Since they have relatives in the prefecture, they can send letters to catch up with each other.”
Su Binglan listened attentively as her family spoke. Later that afternoon, she went to the town to buy land, drew a blueprint, and then handed it to Su Xueye to build another residential area.
Su Binglan even wrote another play called “The General’s Biography.” She adapted the Wei family’s experiences into a touching story. She had also set up its production earlier to return the family’s glory.
After all, the commoners did not know the details of what happened in the war three years ago. The Imperial Court had spread the word of the Wei family conspiring with the enemy to rebel, and some commoners believed it. Su Binglan was confident the people would know the truth about the Wei family once she released the play. She knew the will of the people was the more crucial thing.
Once the emperor lost the people’s trust, it would be hard for him to regain it. Su Binglan wanted to expose the Crown Prince’s misdeeds and clear the Wei familys name.
She knew the play would cause a sensation and how crucial public opinion was. Coincidentally, she considered opening a newspaper office. Still, she had to discuss it with Lan Ruozhu first.
That afternoon, Su Wenxiu went to the Grand Theater to watch a play. The employees even ushered him to his seat. However, he realized someone was sitting beside him.
Su Wenxiu was shocked when he saw Zi Die. “Zi…Die, what are you doing here?”
Zi Die was surprised when she looked beside her. “Professor? One of the employees sent me a letter saying I won a ticket to watch a play for free. Look, I have the ticket with me.’
There was a seat number on the ticket, so she was excited that she could sit in the VIP section to watch the play. She also heard that the view and sounds were the best in the VIP section.
Nonetheless, Zi Die did not expect Su Wenxiu to sit beside her. She was thrilled when she saw him. Although she just had lunch with him, she could now watch a play with Su Wenxiu.
Zi Die’s heart pounded as she remained in her seat. She was a little absent-minded when she returned to the medical school just now. All she could think about was Su Wenxiu.
Su Wenxiu helplessly sighed when he saw the girl’s surprised and adorable expression. He had already suspected that his sister had set this up.
He looked at Zi Die, who seemed a little nervous, and asked, “Do you like watching dramas, too?”
Zi Die nodded and said, “Yeah, I like them very much. I’ve never watched such a well-written drama before. My classmates also love watching them.
Everyone cried after watching one of the plays.” Su Wenxiu raised his brows and asked, “Did you cry, too?”
Zi Die nodded in embarrassment. “Yeah, I did.’
Su Wenxiu became even more intrigued when he heard her words. After all, he had never watched the two new plays. He became curious about them when he heard about the plays from the passersby in town. He could not wait to watch the plays, mainly because his sister had written them.
The duo had a simple conversation before the curtains on the stage below opened and lights shined from the stage. Su Wenxiu was surprised, wondering if this was what it was like to watch a play in the Grand Theater.
He had a clear view of the stage, and the auditory effects were excellent from his seat. He then looked at the first-floor seats and noticed how many people were there.
Everyone clapped and cheered as soon as the curtains opened.. The atmosphere was impactful as Zi Die held her popcorn and looked at Su Wenxiu, asking, “Professor, would you like some?”
