Chapter 462: A Good Impact

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Fengmao recalled hiring only their own villagers to work at the tofu factory. The embroidery shop also prioritized the Su Teng Villagers, so he knew his daughter wanted to help them first.

Moreover, the family hired the Su Teng villagers to work at the embroidery shop because they knew them well. After all, the family was unfamiliar with people from other villages, especially those living further away from Su Teng Village.

Su Binglan had also thought of prioritizing the people from her village when opening the winery. However, after some consideration, she still felt she could not just prioritize her village.

She said, “It’ll be easier for problems to arise if we always do that. Our villagers will slack off. We’ll mainly hire people based on their abilities and morals for the winery. Those with these qualities will have a likelier chance of getting the job.’

Su Fengzhang had seen the world and knew many things. He agreed with his niece, saying, “Your thoughts are excellent, Binglan. If that’s the case, everyone will perform well if they want to work at the winery.

“The typically lazy ones will become more diligent, and the rest who don’t treat their parents well will become more filial. As time goes by, a better atmosphere will form among the villages. Still, there’s always room for improvement.

“The atmosphere in Willow Village and Stone Village is also improving, not to mention ours. Everyone knows the tofu factory and embroidery shop only hire those with good characteristics.

“If anyone causes problems and gets caught, they will get fired. That’s why everyone is more cautious. Besides, Binglan’s embroidery shop and tofu factory still hire people. Everyone is eyeing these positions.”

‘Who wouldn’t eye the potential salary and bonus they could receive monthly?’

Although Su Fengzhang was usually busy brewing wine, he paid attention to the matters in the village and the tofu factory. He also wanted to do something to help his niece.

‘Who knows what would’ve happened to my family if it weren’t for my niece?’

Su Fengzhang was still afraid whenever he thought of his wife’s past physical condition. He was pleased now that Ding Wan was happily working at the embroidery shop, and he and Su Wenxian could make wine.

Su Fengmao understood what his daughter meant with his eldest brother’s analysis. “Indeed, it’s good. That way, no one will compare their food and clothing. Instead, they will compare their morals.”

Su Binglan looked at Su Fengzhang and smiled lightly. “You understood it more than my father.”

She had a similar thought. Since Su Fengzhang had helped her explain things, she did not speak further. Also, her father would become anxious if he did not understand it.

When Tao Eryong heard these words, his lips moved, and he looked up as if he wanted to say something. However, he was not sure if he should say it. He felt speaking nonsense in front of Su Binglan was inappropriate.

Su Wenxian, sitting beside Tao Eryong, noticed the latter’s expression and asked, “Do you have something to add, Eryong?”

Tao Eryong raised his head, not knowing if he should say it.

Su Fengmao got impatient and said, “If you have anything to say, you can say it. Then it’ll be easier for us to consider things because of your input.”

Tao Eryong mustered his courage and said, “A few families from our village work in the embroidery shop. I heard their families are more harmonious than before.

“Many still want to work there, so they became more dutiful to their parents. They also get along much better with their siblings. They used to quarrel with each other, but that’s all.

“I once accidentally overheard the villagers discussing it. They said some people are pretending now, but some said it would be good if they could pretend for a lifetime. If that’s the case, they can at least support their elders.”

Quite a few people in Willow Village did not treat their parents well. Some even intended to kick their parents out of their homes and abandon them. Some families had split up and did not care about their parents. They were even calculative.

The atmosphere in a few villages had changed, and everyone seemed more serious about who was more filial. Most who lived with their parents would bring delicious food to them, and the passers-by would see it.

Plus, the constantly quarreling families seemed to have stopped. Tao Eryong thought it was strange at first. Still, his mother later explained that Su Binglan’s tofu factory and embroidery shop only hired those who were respectful to their parents and had a good family background.

Therefore, everyone was trying to perform well.

Su Fengmao laughed when he heard that. “That’s good. Daughter, you’ve figured out a way to make that happen.”

Su Binglan shook her head. “That’s not it. My employees must have good moral character. That’s my requirement. It’s just that many want to work, so they have to perform well. Nonetheless, this is a good thing.”

To put it bluntly, it was because her embroidery shop and tofu factory offered higher wages and bonuses, which were very tempting. If everyone wanted to work in the tofu factory, they could only improve themselves.

Su Fengzhang said, “Still, what Eryong said is correct. It’ll be best if people can be dutiful to their parents, love their siblings, and care for their families. Every village will improve if everyone is like that.”

He knew the people from other villages could not compare to Su Teng Village’s culture. He had also heard of some people being selfish. They did not care about their parents or siblings.

Although Su Fengzhang could not stand such things, he knew too many people had it hard. He could only care for his family and not get involved in other people’s affairs.

‘Binglan has helped many people now.’ Su Fengzhang’s heart felt warm when he thought about it.

He became more energized and felt he had to manage the winery well for his niece so she would have the strength to do other things. Su Fengzhang had seen the world and always thought his niece had more power and ability than anyone else.

It was easy for people to get influenced, and it was best to do it positively.

Su Binglan fell into profound thought when she heard her eldest uncle’s words. She knew she had to strengthen herself to help more people. ‘Sometimes, no help can be a form of help, too.’

Then she thought of another rule for the tofu factory and embroidery shop. She would promote those with solid performances and good moral characteristics into managers.

After promoting these employees to managers, she would pay them a higher salary and bonus than ordinary employees.

Su Fengmao sighed, “You’re right, Binglan. A person’s ability and characteristics matter most when hiring people for the winery.”

The group chatted in the carriage and soon arrived at Su’s Pottery Workshop in Willow Village. Su Binglan looked at the workshop and thought it was pretty small.

‘I’ll probably expand the winery after opening it.’

The Taos could make jars, pots, and bottles before the winery opened. However, they would need more tools once the winery’s business expanded. Then they would probably need to hire more people to work at the pottery workshop when that time came..
