At this moment, the two assassins and the soldiers were attaching the youth. The arrow behind him pierced toward him with great force. It was swift as it soon reached his back and was about to pierce him.
One could only imagine what would happen to Wei Jin’an if the arrow pierced him.
“No!” Su Binglan immediately shouted after waking up. She quickly sat up, and a cold sweat broke out on her face. She panted, and her heart was pounding when she sat up.
She could not return to her senses for a long time but soon realized she was dreaming when she finally caught her breath. She dreamed of Luo Jin’an but did not know if what she had witnessed was real.
Su Binglan wondered if Luo Jin’an was like that when he was in good health and unaffected by the cold poison.
‘He’s so strong and could protect a whole city with his own strength.’ An indescribable feeling rose in Su Binglan’s heart. She was proud of him but also felt a little sad. She did not understand why she would dream of such a scene either.
She covered her chest with one hand and still had some lingering fear. She was worried about Luo Jin’an and wondered how he was doing.
When she woke up, the sky was still dark, and it had not even been two days since he had left. It took a long time for Su Binglan to calm her emotions. After lying down again, images of Wei Jin’an and the arrow filled her mind.
Su Binglan’s heart pounded, and she was concerned about her husband. She laid to rest but could not fall back asleep, no matter how hard she tried.
She was no longer sleepy and had no choice but to get up, light a candle, and sit at her desk to keep herself busy. If she did not do something now, she would only think of Luo Jin’an, causing her heart to ache.
Thus, Su Binglan could only distract herself by getting busy. She took a piece of paper and began writing a proposal. She also wrote what she would do next and other plans like architectural drawings of the land.
She had bought the land between the town and the village for planning purposes. The embroidery shop, staff dormitories, and winery were already there.
She planned to build more buildings in the later stages. After all, she still wanted another factory, a commercial street, and even a residential area in the future.
That land was substantial, and Su Binglan still had many things to build. She considered that and started drawing architectural designs. She busied herself and did not know that it was already daybreak.
When she noticed the sky brightening, she put down her charcoal pen and went to wash up. Meanwhile, her parents also woke up early.
Su Fengmao helped Shen Qiuhua with breakfast. He started the fire while his wife cooked. Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter and noticed the exhaustion in her eyes. She asked worriedly, “Did you not sleep well last night, Binglan?” She could tell from Su Binglan’s eyes.
Su Fengmao also looked at his daughter and knew she did not seem to have slept well. “Have you been too busy lately, Binglan?”
Su Binglan had been exceptionally busy recently with many things to do. Since she had many things to worry about and worked from morning to night, she barely had time to rest.
The older couple’s hearts ached when they saw this. Shen Qiuhua and Su
Fengmao wanted to do more for their daughter, but Su Binglan did not want them to worry either. She said, “No, I slept pretty well. Don’t worry.
“Father, we should have a simple breakfast, then go and hire people for the winery.”
Su Fengmao nodded. “Don’t worry.”
It was still a little early, so Su Wenzhe and the others had yet to wake up. Su Binglan had a quick meal with her parents before following her father to the winery.
She guessed many people would come for the interview, but her expectations were still low. More people showed up than when she was hiring for the embroidery shop.
The sky was still slightly dark, but the line was already long. Everyone knew the winery would only hire men, so only men showed up. After all, they had heard the news yesterday afternoon.
They also knew that Su Binglan would not prioritize the men from Su Teng Village this time. Still, she would only hire those based on their abilities and morals.
Everyone tried their best to work at the winery, even those who lived far away from Su Teng Village. They woke up before dawn and walked over. These people did not mind working at the winery, even if they had to walk back and forth for more than four hours daily.
They knew how well the tofu factory and embroidery shop treated their employees, so it was evident the winery would be the same. Everyone was both excited and nervous as they lined up.
They all looked at Su Binglan in unison when she appeared. Everyone’s eyes were full of nervousness and excitement.
Su Fengmao looked at them and was shocked. “There are so many people here. We don’t need this many people, so I wonder how many will feel disappointed if we don’t hire them.
He understood how everyone felt about wanting to find a job to earn money. He knew everyone was looking forward to the interview. Still, they would be sad if they got rejected.
Su Binglan said, “You don’t have to worry too much, Father. The production of potatoes and sweet potatoes will be high soon. As long as everyone works hard, their families’ conditions will improve.
“Also, we hire people based on their abilities and morals. It’s fair and just. If we don’t hire someone, it just means they lack something the others have.
“I will also build another factory in the future, so there will be other opportunities for everyone. One can always earn money if they have the smarts, abilities, and diligence.”
After developing all the land she had bought, there would be more opportunities for others to work. Besides, the income would be much higher than in previous years if everyone planted high-yield grain.
It all depended on whether or not everyone was diligent enough.
Su Fengmao felt much better after hearing his daughter’s words. After all, he had also experienced poverty. That was why he knew what these people felt. However, he was still afraid. Therefore, he still worked hard daily, even though his family’s conditions had improved exponentially. He helped his daughter look after the tofu factory and ensured he delivered everything correctly.
The winery also had a dedicated office with two tables outside. Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian also arrived, and Su Wenxian was responsible for everyone’s registration.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan, Su Fengmao, and Su Fengzhang made the final decisions. They decided on the spot who could work at the winery because some people lived too far away, making it troublesome for the trio to inform them later.
Moreover, the trio would fire those who gave false information about themselves. However, no one who came to apply for the job faked anything because they knew the Su family would find out.
The villagers would also report them if they faked their information. That was because everyone had their eyes on the winery’s location and wanted to work there.
If anyone were to fake their way in, it would be unfair to others. Therefore, no one even thought of pushing their luck and faking anything. Everyone was sincere and answered all of Su Binglan’s questions truthfully..
