The farm that Su Wan purchased was a barren land. It wasn't fertile and no one was willing to take care of that land. However, Su Wan had a plan. It was not a problem for her to build another farm in this city. Planting some vegetables and grain to provide supplies to her snack street would help her industrial chain.
What was more she wanted to plant something different. Half of the crops were going to be experimental and half of the other crops were going to be the ones that would be sold to the market.
Su Wan arranged for coconut fibre and rock wool with the help of Lord Pei who was willing to help her in the project of growing soilless vegetables. Even though she received a lot of criticism from the officials who were more or less bribed by the Lai family, Su Wan did not care about the ruckus they caused.
She arranged for a few of the farmers to reside on the land that was bought by her and made small houses on the side of the land for them to reside in. With Master Han helping her, the two of them came up with an even better hydroponic system that delivered water and nutrients to the plant root.
After the two of them came up with a better system, Su Wan arranged for the purchase of containers that were as big as tubs. The deeper a container was the better the plant would thrive in it.
Once the containers were purchased Su Wan asked the farmers and their families to drill holes into the containers as they needed them for the soilless farming. At the same time, she started to build the infrastructure required to protect her farm.
Though it was a difficult task, Su Wan was willing to take out a huge sum of money for the building to be built as quickly as possible.
As for the farmers who were hired by Su Wan were worried that they would not be able to receive their pay on time like the Lai family, they were willing to work hard. No matter what Su Wan said they listened to her, even though she was a woman.
It took three months for the construction of the building to be finished, though Su Wan was a bit disappointed, she knew that she could not do such things in a hurry. She waited for the construction to be finished before she arranged for the hydroponic water container, which included the necessary nutrients for the crops.
This was the step that took most of her time but Su Wan who had been experimenting with the water containers for ages, knew what to do.
"We will first start with mustard green, kale, bell peppers and other leafy vegetables," Su Wan told Han Fu. What she wanted to see was whether she could grow ginseng on this farm or not but that was something she would deal with later on.
For now, she first needed to arrange for potatoes to grow in this system.
If not then she had to think of a way and make the land next to this farm fertile.
"I understand," Han Fu nodded as he arranged for the seeds and started the process of sowing seeds.
Six months later.
When Qi Shuyan heard Su Wan's words, his eyes turned red. He was really thankful for Su Wan and the rest of the Lin family. When their parents died, Qi Shuyan and his siblings thought that they were going to live a life which was worse than hell.
Even though Father Lin comforted them that he would treat them like his children, the three siblings were worried as they knew that even their own uncle did not treat them well.
So how could they trust Father Lin? But they had no choice in front of them. So even though it was scary, they willingly went with Father Lin.
Who would have thought that one decision that they made would change their lives?
Qi Shuyan stood up from the chair on which he was sitting and heavily kowtowed in front of Su Wan.
"Thank you, Thank you so much sister-in-law," Qi Shuyan's forehead hit the floor heavily as he thanked Su Wan for what she had done, Qi Jie and Qi Zhi followed suit. The two of them also kowtowed to Su Wan who was too shocked to stop them.
"What are you doing?" She handed Little Feng to Lin Yan who took him, along with Little Heng who clapped his hands and gleefully shouted, "Bo Bo! Bo Bo!"
He seemed to be saying something rude because Little Feng turned to him and smacked him on the head.
Little Heng stopped clapping his hands and then turned to look at his big brother, he raised his hand and smacked Little Feng right back. His fingers knotted into the hair of his big brother as he did so.
Little Feng though calm was not to be underestimated, he too reached forward and pulled Little Heng's hair.
"You two... play nice," Lin Yan said to his sons while Lin Rui helped him take care of their two naughty sons.
"They are simply too naughty," Lin Rui remarked. He booped the nose of Little Feng who was on the verge of crying and said, "Be nice or Father Rui will not take you to the capital when he has to take Higher Secondary Scholar exams."
