Chapter 619: Enthusiastic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The girls, valued by their parents, smiled when they saw their parents’ enthusiasm. It made the girls feel more confident.

In the past, most villagers had old-fashioned thoughts and valued boys more than girls. However, they saw how promising the girls were. The girls could also work hard and earn money, making everyone pay more attention to them.

Most families realized daughters and sons had similar strengths. As parents, they felt their children were hardworking. The parents were incredibly proud of their children.

Moreover, some families had three children working for the Su family. That meant the family would receive three times the amount of gifts and year-end bonuses. The six bottles of wine they received were worth plenty of money.

The families did not have to buy wine for the holidays because of the excellent quality wine their children received from the Su family.

They also had exclusive hotpot ingredients. They could make hotpots at home instead of going to restaurants. They also had three times the tofu products and instant noodles.

Shi Zhengshan and his wife lived in Stone Village and had three daughters. Most people in Stone Village still believed only boys could care for their parents when their parents got old, and daughters were useless.

Shi Zhengshan did not have sons. He felt ashamed in front of his family because of that. His parents never took him seriously, and his wife suffered tremendously.

However, Shi Zhengshan felt guilty and never blamed his parents. His wife was good and responsible. She never held grudges with her in-laws and focused on living her life.

Shi Zhengshan’s daughters were sensible and had helped the family since they were children. The three girls worked harder when others laughed and mocked them about having no brothers.

When they got older, they would help with the fieldwork. They were experts on the inside and outside. Everyone thought Shi Zhengshan had raised his daughters well but knew they had to marry into other families.

Even if Shi Zhengshan raised his daughters well, they would eventually belong to someone else. However, the Su family opened the tofu factory then and only hired females.

Since the Su family only hired girls, everyone realized how essential girls were. A girl’s monthly income was equivalent to the village’s annual income from farming crops.

Some families only had boys, so they could not send their sons to work at the factory. Later, the Su family expanded the factory and hired people from other villages.

Shi Zhengshan’s eldest daughter went for an interview and passed with flying colors. He heard the Su family had asked about his eldest daughter, and most said his family was trustworthy. People also spoke highly about his daughters, saying they were capable and dutiful.

When the embroidery shop started hiring people later on, his second daughter went for an interview and got the job. Then the noodle shop opened, and his third daughter got the job.

Shi Zhengshan was stunned, especially when his niece and nephew did not get the job.

Many people in Stone Village went for multiple interviews, even his nieces. However, none got the job. When the winery opened, his three siblings’ children went for interviews, but none got the job.

Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters were the only ones from his entire family to work for the Su family.

Only Shi Zhengshan’s children got jobs working for the Su family because his family had good morals and temperaments. His brothers, who looked down on him, now looked at him enviously because of that.

Even his parents became more enthusiastic toward him. They no longer showed him a nasty attitude as they did in the past. They treated Shi Zhengshan as if he was the most considerate son.

Shi Zhengshan and his wife no longer felt inferior because their three daughters made them proud. Now, he and his wife walked around the village confidently.

Shi Zhengshan’s voice was paramount to his parents and brothers during family meetings. Therefore, Shi Zhengshan was most grateful to the Su family because he could hold his head high.

When someone from the Stone Village saw Shi Zhengshan, they said, “Zhengshan, your family must be prosperous now. You should have three times the gifts and bonuses now.”

Shi Zhengshan smiled widely. Still, he spoke modestly, “Oh, yes. I heard your son is doing well in the winery. I heard the bosses often praise him.”

The man said smilingly, “My son is perfect. He’s sensible and hardworking. He cares for and helps us at home. Still, my son only received one gift basket compared to your three daughters earning one each. You should have six bottles of wine, then.’

The wine the employees received was no ordinary wine that others could easily buy. After all, most people had to pre-order their wine since the shop sold out so often.

Even locals could not buy as much as they wanted because foreigners had ordered long ago, so they had to wait their turn.

The man’s son said the winery had limited stock, so he could only buy wine sometimes. Most people still had trouble getting wine for themselves.

The man was excited when his son received two bottles of wine in his gift basket. However, he never considered Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters to bring home two bottles of wine each, totaling six bottles of wine.

The man even considered buying the wine from Shi Zhengshan’s three daughters.

Those who enjoyed drinking wine knew how good the Su family’s wine tasted. Nonetheless, Shi Zhengshan could not bear to sell his daughters’ wine. After all, they would need the wine for relatives visiting during the New Year to entertain their guests.

Other villagers saw Shi Zhengshan, and one of them said, “You’re famous now.

No, you’re not famous, but your three daughters are,”

“Everyone knows about your three sunflowers that are your daughters.

They’re good-natured, capable, and can earn money.”

Shi Zhengshan could not stop smiling as he said, “Everyone keeps praising them.”

He was happy even though he said so. He felt he could walk around the village with his head held high now.

Not only were the people of Stone Village happy, but Su Tengs villagers also smiled at noon. After all, each family’s living conditions had improved exponentially.

Lin Chai and Miss He were carrying their gift baskets when they returned home from work. Lin Chai went to work at the winery when he stopped stuttering.

Miss He had been working in the embroidery shop while her eldest son learned medicine from Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Their eldest son had gathered plenty of knowledge from the Su siblings.

Previously, Lin Chai and Miss He’s eldest son helped bandage people’s wounds after the earthquake. People constantly praised Lin Chai and Miss He’s children.

Their second and third sons were also sensible. They knew their parents and eldest brother were busy, so they helped with the housework and cooking.

When Lin Chai and Miss He got home, they put away the things they had received from their bosses. The couple remained composed, but their two sons were thrilled when they saw the gift baskets.

Miss He said, “I’ll make instant noodles for everyone tonight.”

Instant noodles became harder to buy since many children enjoyed eating them.

“Woo-hoo!” The two younger boys were ecstatic.

At that moment, Lin Shu returned with his gift basket. The two parents were stunned when they saw their eldest son’s basket..
