Su Wenxiu was excited as he spoke of these things. His eyes lit up, and he continued, "After the earthquake, all the houses Uncle Zhengde and Cousin Xueye built were still intact."
Shen Qiuhua smiled when her son mentioned this. She added, "Don't look down on Xueye just because he's young. Everyone trusts him and asks him to build their houses now.
"People trust your cousin and uncle to build their houses instead of trusting others. Xueye says your house designs are good, and the materials he uses to build them are excellent. He says he learned everything from you."
Shen Qiuhua thought of something else and continued, "Oh, Erying and your other apprentices helped save so many people after the earthquake. Those who didn't send their daughters to study under you regret it. They said they should've taken the opportunity when it arose.
"No one cares about reputation now. Everyone knows how capable Erying and the others are after they saved so many people."
