Chapter 384: So Famous

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the old ladys eyes, Shen Qiuhua was still very young, about the same age as her children. That was why the old lady called Shen Qiuhua kid.

Most villagers were simple and unadorned, so Shen Qiuhua would not refuse to answer whenever someone spoke to her. She said, These arent peanuts, maam.

What are you doing at the oil mill if those arent peanuts? The old last was curious since Shen Qiuhua had many filled -up sacks on the oxcart.

These are rapeseed, Shen Qiuhua patiently explained, We can use these to extract oil, similar to peanuts.

The old lady did not know what rapeseed was or had ever heard of it. She was puzzled. Since you can get oil from rapeseed, can you also get oil from other things?

The queue members heard this and said, Ive only heard that peanuts can produce oil. Thats why we gather peanuts to get oil. Youre not from around here, are you, miss?

The people started chatting to pa.s.s the time since they had nothing else to do while waiting in line.

Shen Qiuhua replied, Were from a nearby village called Su Teng Village.

The people in front of the queue turned around in unison when Shen Qiuhua mentioned Su Teng Village.

Youre from Su Teng Village? A young woman asked, Im from Stone Village, your villages neighbor. Everyone is envious of your village, miss.

Shes right. Its no wonder you have an oxcart. We can afford one, too, when our lives improve.

The two young women in front of the queue talked to Shen Qiuhua as they looked at the oxcart with envious eyes.

Someone unfamiliar with Su Teng Village asked, Whats happening in Su Teng Village? I have a distant relative living there. Ive been there before, but its nothing special.

Everyone began to talk simultaneously.

That was in the past. Su Teng Village is different from before. I heard the Su family has a brilliant and capable daughter. She opened a tofu factory and helped the villagers improve their lives.

The villages chief is also a Su family member. He has a construction team that helps the villagers build houses. Theyre all working hard and earning good money.

Other villages cant compare to Su Teng Village because the Su family is capable and willing to help their villagers.

Were far from Su Teng Village, so we didnt hear of such things.

Im from a neighboring village to Su Teng, so Ive heard many things. We want to work at their tofu factory, but they only hire people from their own village.

The Su family has also opened a few shops in town, and their tofu is delicious.

I remember now. I heard theres a hotpot restaurant in town called Sus Hotpot. I heard about it from my neighbors, but no one has ever tried eating there. I heard that it costs a lot of money to eat it.

Still, its delicious. Teng He Town has become lively because theres so much food there. My mothers house is close to the town, so she usually sets up a stall there to sell things. She sells things much more quickly since Teng He Town has improved.

Everyone looked at each other and discussed various topics about Su Teng Village and the Su family. At the same time, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao stood on the sidelines, not knowing what to say. It felt like everyone knew more than they did, and hearing others talk about their family felt magical.

Shen Qiuhua palmed her cheek and thought, Are we that famous?

The Su family has raised their daughter well, and everyone is envious of that girls mother. That girl is only dutiful but also capable. She even helps her three brothers.

Many people in the queue were from far away villages and had never traveled or even gone to town, so they did not know these things. After listening to others discuss these things, they felt they had suddenly gathered much information.

I heard Su Teng Village will have another shop soon. I guess theyll be hiring people again.

Many families from our village want to marry their daughters off to the Su Teng villagers.

Some families only have sons, so they send them to Su Teng Village to get married.

The people surrounding the two Stone Village women were in disbelief when they heard them say these things. Are you exaggerating?

Yeah, our sons have to get married, too, but how can we marry them off to another family? People will laugh at us.

One of the Stone Villages young women shook her head and said, You cant believe that. There are many benefits to marrying your son off to a family in Su Teng Village. Who will laugh at you then?

You guys should learn how beneficial that is. Du Xiaoshuan fled to Stone Village with his mother, and his life was not going well. Still, what do you all think happened after that? The other young woman from Stone Village deliberately kept the others in suspense.

Meanwhile, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua looked at each other quietly at the side. They thought, Arent Du Xiaoshuan and Du Xiaoju siblings?

One of the two whispered, Binglan saved Xiaoju from poisoning in the past, and Xiaoju is now in charge of making meatb.a.l.l.s in the tofu factory for the hotpot restaurant.

Oh, youre right. Xiaoshuan is Wenwus close friend who works for him. Hes responsible for gathering fresh ingredients and sending them to the hotpot restaurant with Li Dazhuang.

However, Shen Qiuhua was not aware of Du Xiaoshuans situation. She only knew he worked for Su Wenwu and was diligent and hardworking, while Du Xiaoshuans sister was straightforward and earnest in her work.

Shen Qiuhua had witnessed these things.

The woman kept the others in suspense as she spoke. Everyone was anxious and asked, Hurry up and tell us what happened.

The young woman heard everyones eagerness and said, Of course, his life is improving now. I heard he found his younger sister with the Su familys help, and theyve earned quite a bit of money.

Xiaoshuan renovated his familys dilapidated house and often bought meat and food for his family. His life is no longer the same as before.

Another person added, Not only that, but Xiaoshuan is also responsible for gathering and sending ingredients to the hotpot restaurant. Anyone having trouble selling their livestock can go to him, and he will buy them for fair prices.

Many of our villagers want to give their daughters to Xiaoshuan because they see how well hes doing now.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao were stunned after hearing a lot of news in such a short time.

Someone said, Wow, Su Teng Village has changed greatly.

Someone looked at Shen Qiuhua and asked, Since youre from Su Teng Village, do you work at the tofu factory? Is that why you could afford an oxcart?

Someone else said, Thats not right. The tofu factory only pays a months salary, which shouldnt be enough to buy an oxcart, right? Did you rent the oxcart?

Shen Qiuhuas mouth twitched. She did not know what to say.

Were they talking about our family? The capable girl from the Su family they discussed is my daughter, right? If so, theyd probably drag this on forever.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao looked at each other. They thought it was best to keep a low profile and not cause trouble for their daughter.

Indeed, we borrowed this oxcart, Shen Qiuhua said smilingly.

Although it seemed like she was lying, she was not. After all, her eldest son would typically use the oxcart, and the older couple was only there to get oil..
