“Let’s understand the situation first,” Su Fengzhang said, “We’ll have to return and discuss the specifics with my niece. My niece is the Miss Su you’ve heard about, so I don’t need to say much about her.”

‘Everyone knows Miss Su is a remarkable person,” Tao Zhenggang nodded.

“Her tofu factory has helped many Su Teng Villagers since she pays them well.

I heard she’s still building another shop and will hire people in the future.”

Su Fengzhang could not help but feel proud to be a Su family member whenever he heard others talk about his niece.

Whenever someone mentioned the Su family in the past, the other villagers would not know them. However, the Su family had become a household name in the surrounding villages.

Su Fengzhang knew they had become well-known because of his niece.

Miss Li returned with some water for Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian to drink. She was very respectful toward the father-son duo. “We never dreamed the Su family members would come here to buy our clay pots and jars. We feel assured doing business with your family.

“Frankly, we need more money to buy pine wood now, but as you can see, we have to settle our precious debts before we can do that. You might have to wait while we think of a way to buy pine wood and restart our pottery business.”

Previously, Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li no longer wanted to continue their pottery business. However, since the Su family was interested, the couple planned to restart their business to work with the Su family.

‘When everyone learns that we work with the Su family, our lives will improve.’

Miss Li became excited and wished she could immediately make clay pots and jars. Still, those things were cumbersome to make since they required special soil and pine wood.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian sat there for a while to understand the situation. They said they would discuss the specifics with Su Binglan when

they returned to Su Teng Village.

Tao Zhenggang and his wife regained hope after listening to Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian. The couple was enthusiastic toward the father-son duo instead of sighing and crying. The couple’s eyes seemed to radiate with light.

The couple wanted to send Su Fengzhang and his son off but chatted at the door instead.

The couple was nervous and wondered if Su Binglan would intend to cooperate with them if they could not make clay pots and jars with their current debt.

After all, other people in neighboring villages also sold pottery.

After a while, the couple finally went back into their home.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian had heavy hearts on their way home. They felt terrible seeing the older couple like that.

“Liars are despicable,” Su Wenxian said.

“That person probably knew the Taos was honest yet gullible,” Su Fengzhang added, “That’s why the person deliberately placed his order and ran off. It was like he got his order for free.

“The Taos is also simple-minded farmers who barely interact with people. No one expected such a terrible person to do that to them,” Su Fengzhang reminded his son, “You must also be wary of these people when our family’s business expands.”

“I understand, Father. I’ll be more vigilant.”

The duo discovered that Su Binglan was home in the afternoon and discussed things with her. The duo would not treat Su Binglan as a child since she was the most capable person they knew.

Su Binglan’ s expression turned frigid. “How could that happen?

“Yeah,” Su Wenxian said, “The Taos looked rather pitiful, but that had happened long ago, and no one knows where that scammer originated. He’s probably using a fake name, too.”

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “I’m sure the jade is the same as the previous one.”

“Tao Zhenggang also said the same thing,” Su Wenxian said, “I’m guessing someone had replaced the jade pendant with a fake.”

Su Binglan tapped her finger on the table, saying, “Although that person has escaped, it doesn’t mean we can’t search for him.”

Su Wenxian looked at his cousin with admiration when he heard that. “Do you have a way to find that person, Cousin Binglan? It would be amazing if we could.”

He felt his younger sister’s power. ‘There’s nothing she can’t do.’

Even Su Fengzhang was shocked. ‘My niece is just as my wife had said. Binglan is no ordinary person. I wonder if she’s immortal. Still, Su Binglan is a Su family member, no matter what.’

He asked curiously, “Binglan, that person probably didn’t leave any trails behind, so how do we find him?”

“The jade pendant is the key, and there should be a wanted poster of that person,” Su Binglan said.

Su Fengzhang was puzzled. “A poster? There’s none.”

“Let’s make a trip to Willow Village,” Su Binglan said.

Su Fengzhang and his son could not help but follow Su Binglan to Willow Village. The duo had a strange feeling in their hearts as they followed suit. They felt Su Binglan’s convincing words and instinctively listened to her.

When the trio arrived at Willow Village, the older couple was still trying to think of a solution while having a simple lunch of coarse-grain pancakes and scallions. The older couple barely even had wild vegetables at home.

Miss Li said, still thinking of a solution, “Miss Su is an extraordinary person, so not just anyone can do business with her.”

“The most crucial thing for us is making clay pots and jars again. It’ll all be pointless if we can’t make those again,” Tao Zhenggang sighed, “It’s all my fault for believing that person. None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for that. Still, we couldn’t have expected it to happen to us.”

Miss Li said, “That’s why you’ve learned your lesson. Let’s avoid doing business with unfamiliar people in the future. After all, we don’t know them or what they do.

“Even if we restart our business, we’ll only deal with people we know. Nonetheless, we won’t have to worry if we cooperate with Miss Su. I wonder how Miss Su’s tofu factory does business with foreigners. They’re doing well with no issues,” Miss Li could ramble on whenever she discussed Su Teng Village.

“You do know a lot,” Tao Zhenggang said, “Many of our villagers want to work in Miss Su’s factory, but she only hires women from Su Teng Village.”

Su Binglan arrived as the couple talked. Su Fengzhang said, “Zhenggang, Miss

Li, this is my niece, Su Binglan. She’s here to discuss some matters with you.”

Tao Zhenggang and Miss Li looked toward the door in a daze. The couple was astounded when they saw the real Miss Su.

‘Is that Miss Su?!’

‘She came here personally?’

“Mr. Zhenggang, Miss Li, I’m here to discuss business with you..”
