Madam Zhou was excited. She had worked in the fields before and would chat with the villagers whenever she had free time. If it did not rain, the villagers carried water from afar so that their crops would not die.

Madam Zhou knew how hard it was for everyone to grow crops with so much labor. Since she knew how hard it was to grow crops, she did not allow her children to waste food, even though her family’s conditions had improved.

Although the family had more to eat now, they had to eat whatever Madam Zhou put on the table. She was strict with her sons and grandchildren when it came to eating. That was because she knew the villagers had painstakingly grown each grain of rice.

When harvesting wheat, corn, and peanuts, everyone would go to the fields to pick up the grains that had fallen. Even if it took half a day, people would still gather more food.

Su Binglan noticed Madam Zhou’s excitement and said, “Aunt Zhou, I want

Xueye and his team to see if they can build the waterwheel.”

“Don’t worry. Your cousin and his team are highly skilled. Since you drew it in such detail, they’ll have no issues building it. I’ll beat them up if they can’t.”

Su Binglan could not help but laugh when she heard her aunt’s words. Madam Zhou added, “You can sit first. I’ll call your cousin over.”

Soon after, Madam Zhou returned with her eldest son, Su Wenxing. He was Su

Xueye’s father.

Su Wenxing was just as excited, saying, “Binglan, this waterwheel is astounding. It’ll benefit the villagers significantly. With this, they will no longer have to fetch water from afar.”

“Do you know how to make it, Big Cousin Wenxing?” Su Binglan believed in his abilities because he had made the dining cart she designed to sell stinky tofu. Later, others began to buy similar dining carts from him to sell their food in town. It was straightforward and convenient.

“Of course I can. Since you drew it in such detail, I can make the parts right away.”

“Thank you, Big Cousin Wenxian. You can install it as soon as you finish building the parts.” Su Binglan then explained the waterwheel’s structure and components in detail.

After double-checking everything, Su Binglan left to visit her granduncle. When she arrived, she saw several people sitting inside. She was stunned, not expecting her granduncle to be so busy.

Su Binglan did not recognize those people, either. Everyone was in discussion with Chief Su when they saw Su Binglan. Their eyes lit up, and they stood up and ran toward Su Binglan.

“Miss Su, can you supply some potato and sweet potato seeds to the Stone Village?”

“Yeah, many of our villagers want to buy those seeds, too. Everyone wants to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.”

“Miss Su, we’re willing to buy as many as possible. It’s tough over in Stone

Village. However, they can eat their fill with high-yield crops like yours.”

Everyone expressed their opinions to Su Binglan. Even though they had not planted such things before, they knew about everything she had done. Anything Su Binglan produced was highly beneficial.

Last year, the villagers heard of the rapeseed in Su Teng Village. However, they dared not take it too seriously. Instead, the villagers were a little suspicious of something so good. After all, no one would plant anything during winter, and the yield per acre was much higher than peanuts.

The villagers were in disbelief.

However, the Su Teng villagers transported many rapeseeds home and extracted so much oil from them when spring came. Then, the other villagers realized how substantial rapeseeds were.

If the Stone villagers had gathered and planted the rapeseed earlier, their village would have more than enough oil now.

Moreover, the Su Teng villagers planted the rapeseed during winter, so they did not take up their land for spring. There was no need to worry about having insufficient land to plant crops in spring.

Ultimately, the other village chiefs rushed to Su Teng Village to gather potato and sweet potato seeds before the farming season. They became anxious before they could come up with a solution.

Hence, they went to look to Chief Su for help. If the other village chiefs did not handle this matter well, they would lose all face in their villages. The other village chiefs envied Chief Su for being such a respected and dignified leader.

The other village chiefs knew Chief Su possessed exceptional leadership skills.

Indeed, he was an extraordinary person who always prioritized the villagers. Others might not be able to do that because of selfish reasons. It was no wonder the Su family was so united and harmonious, and Su Teng Village was prosperous.

Su Binglan noticed everyone’s eager expression. She also hoped Dingzhou would continue to develop. Since everyone believed her potato and sweet potato seeds would have a high yield, she was willing to give them some.

Su Binglan said, “l must discuss this matter with my granduncle first.”

She knew everyone should look to the village chief if they had problems. After all, she could not overstep her boundaries.

Chief Su looked at Su Binglan and asked, “Do you have more seeds, Binglan?”

“Of course I do. You can ask the villagers how many they need first. Still, it’s up to you to decide what to do, Granduncle Su.”

The other village chiefs from the surrounding villages realized they had to discuss this matter with Chief Su. He said, “Return to your villages and tally the amount of land you have to accommodate the potato and sweet potato seeds. I’ll see if we have enough seeds to distribute.”

The other chiefs were happy and grateful after hearing Chief Su’s words.

“Thank you so much, Chief Su.” Everyone expressed their grat.i.tude and hurried back to their respective villages to tally their land. They believed Chief Su would stick to his word.

When everyone left, Su Binglan asked, “Are you tired, Granduncle Su?”

Chief Su was in high spirits, saying, “No, not at all. I’m happy to see our village improving so much that even the surrounding villages are benefiting. Soon, we no longer have to worry about the surrounding villages starving or freezing.

“We can fill everyone’s stomachs as long as we work hard and grow as many potatoes and sweet potatoes as possible.”

“You’re a good person, Granduncle Su.” Su Binglan genuinely admired her first granduncle.

“You’re no slouch yourself, Binglan. Everyone is grateful to you. I know the village wouldn’t have improved so much without you..”
