Liu Chengwen said smilingly, “I’m just afraid you’d starve to death, and then I’d have to mourn you.”
“All you know is to joke around!” Feng Sisi’s face turned red.
Liu Chengwen knew how to coax his wife, especially when she was stubborn. Therefore, their relationship was harmonious.
Feng Sisi collected herself and knocked on the door. “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, we’re home!”
Mrs. Liu replied, “We didn’t lock the door. Just open it.”
The younger couple opened the door and entered the courtyard. Liu Chengwen and Feng Sisi were shocked to see the oxcart as they looked at each other, wondering if guests were in their home.
Feng Sisi’s expression changed when she saw Liu Yinyin at the stove.
‘Why is she here again?’ That was the first thought that appeared in Feng Sisi’s mind. However, she managed to force a smile, saying, “Yinyin, you’re home.”
“Hello there, Sister-in-law,” Liu Yinyin responded smilingly.
Mrs. Liu said, “Yinyin brought many things with her this time, including these dumplings. We can have a good meal with her soon.”
Feng Sisi did not believe that her little sister-in-law had brought many things with her. Mrs. Liu noticed Feng Sisi’s expression and could guess what she was thinking.
However, she knew her daughter-in-law was not a dishonest person. Instead, her face revealed everything, making it easy for her to get along with Feng Sisi.
Ads by Pubfuture Mrs. Liu continued, “Yinyin’s family is improving. Wenzhe has opened a shop in town, and that oxcart you saw belongs to the Su family. Also, Xuexuan and Xuehai started going to school recently. Yinyin even brought some fabric for us to make new clothes.”
Although her daughter had given them fabric, Mrs. Liu still wanted to make clothes for her only daughter so she could recite Liu Yinyin’s good wishes.
Everyone eventually grew old, and Liu Yinyin would inevitably need her brother and sister-in-law to look after her whenever she returned. Therefore, Mrs. Liu wanted to make something for her daughter to remember her.
Mrs. Liu would let Feng Sisi recite Liu Yinyin’s good wishes. Then Liu Yinyin could have a good life, and Feng Sisi would welcome her whenever she returned.
Her daughter-in-law was not bad. Feng Sisi was straightforward, had a good heart, and knew how to treat others. Otherwise, Mrs. Liu would not have chosen Feng Sisi to be Liu Chengwen’s wife.
Feng Sisi was stunned as she wondered if her sister-in-law had genuinely improved. It had not been long since Liu Yinyin left to live with the Su family, yet she had changed so much. She even brought fabric home to her family.
Feng Sisi looked at the fabric and knew how rare it was. “Yinyin, you came home and even brought something for me? I don’t know how to thank you.”
She was sincerely smiling when she said that. It had been a long time since she had made new clothes for herself.
Liu Yinyin said softly, “My mother was just telling me how hardworking you are and that you are good to her and my father. She also said this fabric color suits you because of your fair skin. You will undoubtedly look good when you make new clothes with this fabric.”
Women would always be happy whenever one praised them for looking good. Feng Sisi smiled wider as she felt a little embarrassed. “Your mother is the one who treats me well. Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please rest. Chengwen and I will take over.”
Indeed, she was perceptive. She hurriedly washed her hands and took the plate from her mother-in-law to help Liu Yinyin.
Liu Chengwen went to the stove to keep the fire lit so his father could rest.
Liu Yinyin began to tell her sister-in-law about the dumplings and taught her how to cook them. Feng Sisi’s eyes lit up as she watched and listened on the sidelines. She thought the dumplings would be delicious.
Ads by Pubfuture Even if they were not, she would still feel good if she ate food made with white flour. She also wanted to eat the dumplings because the family always ate coarse grain buns.
Feng Sisi would feel terrible if she used white flour to cook. However, her sister-in-law had brought something unique for the family to eat, and Feng Sisi would not feel bad about eating them.
She also wanted to bring some to her son. However, he was an apprentice carpenter in another village and would not return for a while. She thought her son would be happier to eat the dumplings than she would be.
Now that her son was eating out there, Feng Sisi did not know if she should eat these dumplings. She would feel guilty and uneasy whenever she ate delicious food at home.
Liu Yinyin looked at her sister-in-law’s expression and knew what she was thinking. She said, “Sisi, I brought plenty of white flour. I’ll teach you and Mother how to make dumplings after we’ve had lunch. Then you can make some for Liu Heng and send them to him.”
Liu Heng was Feng Sisi and Liu Chengwen’s son.
Now, Feng Sisi was sincerely grateful to her sister-in-law. “You’re so thoughtful, Yinyin. Please come home whenever you have the time. Your father and mother will miss you.”
She had always said these kinds of words as a courtesy in the past, but she was sincere now.
Liu Yinyin laughed and said, “My husband and I are so busy these days since we’ve opened a shop in town. I’ll try to come over, but I don’t know when that will be. Still, I will return and visit my parents whenever possible.”
Feng Sisi listened attentively and thought that her sister-in-law was competent. She even wanted to take advantage of Liu Yinyin.
Fortunately, she did not lose control and say anything unnecessary whenever Liu Yinyin stayed there in the past. Things would be more awkward now if she did.
The whole family was shocked when they ate the dumplings in the afternoon. They discovered how delicious the dumplings were, and everyone ate large servings.
Feng Sisi could not stop praising them, “These dumplings are terrific!”

The meat was still fragrant. The family happily chatted as they ate the delicious dumplings.

Meanwhile, on the Su family’s side, Su Wenxiu slept until noon before waking up. He felt comfortable because he had slept soundly. He stretched lazily. “Ahh, it’s been long since I slept so well. Sleeping on a warm bed at home just hits the spot.”
His parents told him to sleep more last night, but he did not expect to sleep until noon.
Su Wenxiu hurriedly washed up and went to his parent’s place. After eating lunch with his family, he went to town.
His sister-in-law went to her parent’s house for two days, so he went to help Su Wenzhe at his shop in town.
Su Binglan made some snacks in the morning for Su Wenxiu to bring to the dessert shop. She was at ease since Lin Zheng and the others were watching the shop.
She had just returned from her journey and wanted to spend more time with her parents at home.
Shen Qiuhua usually ground soybeans in the afternoon, but she could relax more now that they had the little donkey to help her with that.
Su Binglan sat on the stool and looked at Su Fengmao. “Father, let me see your foot.” She touched the bone on her father’s foot as she spoke, “I will prepare some bone-mending ointment and medicine for you over the next few days. Then I will perform surgery on your foot, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll follow your lead.” Su Fengmao was highly confident in his daughter’s medical skills. He knew his foot would recover soon, and then he could do many things.
Su Binglan spent the afternoon at home making the ointment with medicinal herbs. Luo Jin’an wanted to help her with some things, but she told him to rest. Since that was the case, he spent most of his time reading.
When Luo Jin’an looked up, he could see his wife’s busy figure. It made him feel at ease.
…
Su Zhengde led his team to continue building the Su family’s new house. However, he needed something and went to Su Fengmao’s house to get it.
...
When Su Zhengde saw his niece, he happily said, “Binglan, the bricks you told me about are very handy! Many people come to me regarding the bricks; some even want to buy them from me.”

Su Zhengde realized how much time and effort he saved by building the Su family’s new house with bricks. The bricks were rectangular and upright, making it convenient to build a wall. Moreover, the red bricks looked good.
“Binglan, I thought of asking for your permission to sell the bricks since you were the one who taught me about them,” Su Zhengde said.
Su Binglan replied smilingly, “I only told you about them, Uncle Zhengde. You were the one who made them. You can decide whether or not you want to sell them.”
“B-But that can’t be.” Su Zhengde knew he would not have thought about forming a construction team, let alone producing the bricks, if it were not for his niece.
!!
Many came looking for him to build things since he formed a construction team and started using bricks. Su Zhengde and his team were busy with work, and the more they did, the more they could earn. He did not have to idle around at home these days.
Su Zhengde was most grateful to his niece, so how could she still be so selfless?
Su Binglan said, “You don’t have to be polite with us, Uncle Zhengde. My father once asked you to build us some furniture, and you refused our payments. I taught you about the bricks to repay your kindness. You can help me build more things if you feel guilty about selling the bricks.”
Su Zhengde waved his hand and said, “That’s an easy feat.”
Su Binglan smiled. “The thing I want you to build is no ordinary thing. You will know when you see it later.”
Su Zhengde became interested when he heard that. “Whatever you want must be fascinating. The architectural design of your house is a good example. More knowledgeable people will be amazed once they’ve seen the completed house.
“Since that is the case, I will sell the bricks fairly. Then the villagers can afford them.”
Ads by Pubfuture Many villagers wanted to renovate their houses but would have to spend a lot of money. The people of that era were frugal, after all. @@novelbin@@
Therefore, when the people saw the bricks, they wanted to buy them to renovate their houses independently. That way, they could save more money.
If the price of bricks were high, the villagers would not be able to afford them, so Su Zhengde had to sell them reasonably. Then it would benefit everyone.
“I still have to think of the villagers,” Su Zhengde said.
First Granduncle Su was the village chief then because he often helped and protected the villagers. He had a lot of prestige, and everyone respected him.
Su Zhengde’s personality was the same as First Granduncle Su. He was hot-blooded and righteous. If First Granduncle Su retired, Su Zhengde would take over as chief.
Su Zhengde sighed and said, “We’re from the same village, so we know it’s not easy here.”
…
When Shen Qiuhua finished grinding the soybeans, she sat on a stool and sorted the wild vegetables. She did not need to work in the field since the Su family had hired long-term workers to help.
Su Fengmao had nothing to do at home, so he leaned on his cane and said, “I’ll go and check on the fields.”
They were going to harvest soon, so he was worried because he did not know whether or not the rice field was doing well.
Su Binglan stopped her father, saying, “It’s best if you walk less, especially with your severely injured foot, Father. I will operate on your foot in the next two days.”
Shen Qiuhua understood how her husband felt very well. She said, “Your father can never stay idle. Still, we prioritize food, especially because the autumn harvest is among us.”
Su Binglan said, “I’ll check on the fields instead.”
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua said, “Your father won’t be at ease even if you tell him how the rice fields are doing. He’ll only feel better if he sees them for himself.”
Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll go to the fields with Father-in-law.”
Su Binglan looked at her husband as he looked back at her comfortingly. Luo Jin’an said, “It’s okay. I’ll be back soon, and everything will be fine.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Okay.”
When Luo Jin’an and Su Fengmao went to the field, Su Binglan sat on the stool and thought about something. She still had many things she wanted to do since it was late autumn. She thought about what to prioritize.
Shen Qiuhua sorted the vegetables as she said, “The Mooncake Festival is just around the corner, so I’m thinking of making mooncakes for us to worship and admire the moon.”
Su Binglan was stunned when she heard that.
“The Mooncake Festival?” She almost forgot about it.
The customs of this era differed from those of the modern world. Still, the Mooncake Festival and Chinese New Year were significant celebrations in their culture.
“Mother, don’t you think we should make dumplings for the Mooncake Festival?” Su Binglan had previously mentioned that dumplings would liven the atmosphere most.
Her eyes lit up, saying, “Let’s go with mooncakes instead, Mother. Then we can make many and sell them.”
She knew how easy it was to make mooncakes in that era from her memories, especially how straightforward the filling was. However, the outer layer was relatively crunchy, so she wanted to make hers soft.
Then she could put egg yolks, ham, bean paste, fruits, etcetera. They would all taste delicious no matter what.
Looking for More Content? We May Have What You Want Looking for More Content? We May Have What You Want DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan liked celebrating festivals in that era because the atmosphere was best there. Everyone enjoyed the Mooncake Festival and would take a break from work to gather as a family.
There was also a custom of offering sacrifices to the moon. The villagers would also carry lanterns, offer things to the moon, and worship it. Su Binglan was in high spirits when she thought of that lively scene.
Shen Qiuhua noticed her daughter’s expression and smiled. “Okay, we can make mooncakes if you want to.”
She was also looking forward to it because she knew the mooncakes her daughter wanted to make would be delicious.
Shen Qiuhua was in an excellent mood and looked forward to the Mooncake Festival even more. “How should we make the mooncakes, Binglan?”
“There’s no rush, Mother. I’ll prepare the ingredients over the next few days.”
Su Binglan wanted to prepare chicken puff pastry, so she planned to buy chickens from Su Fengchen. She also needed egg yolks for mooncakes and could buy some from Su Fengchen. Of course, Su Fengchen probably used most of them to make salted and preserved eggs.
Previously, Su Binglan had advised him to buy more eggs from the surrounding villages, so now she could buy whatever she needed from him.
Still, there were other types of fillings Su Binglan could make for the mooncakes, so she had to prepare them first.
“Let’s make more mooncakes and sell them in the shop other than giving them away.” Su Blinglan believed the mooncakes she made would be unique and that her dessert shop would be booming again.
“We can also eat chicken and duck dishes during the Mooncake Festival.” As if she thought of something, Su Binglan continued, “Mother, I’ll go to Uncle Fengchen’s house for a while.”
She wanted to cure her uncle’s hand as soon as possible so that Su Fengchen could make grilled chicken and roasted duck for the festival. After all, those were also essential dishes during the Mooncake Festival.
Su Fengchen had raised many chickens and ducks. He could keep some for their eggs while using the rest for grilled chicken and roasted duck dishes.
Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter and said, “All right, I’ll come with you.”
Her family had been busy with everything lately, and Shen Qiuhua could not stay idle. Since her days and mood had improved, she was willing to join in the fun.
“Sure, let’s go together, Mother.”
...
Shen Qiuhua said, “I just picked and sorted these vegetables, so let’s bring them along.”
Wild vegetables were good things to have. The family would give them away whenever they visited someone because of how easy they were to cook.

Shen Qiuhua and her daughter arrived at Old Madam Su’s house and saw them cleaning eggshells in the yard. Several baskets of duck eggs and chicken eggs were in front of them.
Su Binglan never expected to see so many eggs. It seemed her grandmother had collected many.
“Hello, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law,” Shen Qiuhua said.
“Hi there, Grandma and Grandpa!” Su Binglan greeted her elders.
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su raised their heads and saw the mother and daughter.
“Oh, Qiuhua and Binglan are here.”
“Quick, come in.”
Shen Qiuhua approached the older couple and said, “It’s cold out here. Why are you still in the courtyard?”
It used to be cold only during the morning and night, but now it was also cold throughout the day.
Old Madam Su said smilingly, “We’re wearing thick clothes, so it’s not too cold.”
Ads by Pubfuture Since their days had improved, Old Master Su and his wife often smiled. They felt they had the strength to work. Old Madam Su did not feel cold. Instead, she felt a warmth in her heart.
The older couple could rest assured because their sons’ were living good lives. They mostly worried about the eldest family, but it was useless because the eldest family lived far away.
After entering the courtyard, Shen Qiuhua handed a basket to her mother-in-law. She said, “These are the wild vegetables I dug up and sorted. You can use them for cooking.”
“You said you would revisit us, but I didn’t expect you to bring something,” Old Madam Su smiled even though she said that. She felt touched because of how responsible her daughter-in-law was.
One would only hope for their children to live good lives whenever they grow old. Old Madam Su did not want to think about anything else. She also did not want her children and grandchildren to miss her.
Shen Qiuhua said, “These aren’t valuable since they’re only wild vegetables I gathered from the mountains.”
Old Madam Su put away the eggs and stood up. “Wild vegetables are great, especially because you gathered and cleaned them.”
She saw how attentive and respectful her daughter-in-law was. Moreover, she could use those vegetables for cooking many dishes, including buns and dumplings. @@novelbin@@
“One must always be dutiful to one’s elders,” Shen Qiuhua said.
Old Madam Su knew her granddaughter and daughter-in-law had a reason for their visit, so she said, “Let’s talk inside.”
She held Su Binglan’s hand as she spoke. Her eyes revealed kindness as she loved her granddaughter very much.
Su Binglan supported her grandmother, saying, “Take your time, Grandma.”
Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Su said, “Don’t worry. I’m as strong as an ox.”
Old Master Su entered the house and brought the kettle from the stove to the inner room. He also placed a bowl on the table.
Su Binglan hurriedly said, “Don’t bother, Grandpa. We’ve drunk enough water at home before leaving. Please, sit with us.”
She did not want her grandparents to do too much work, but they could not stay idle. Moreover, Old Master Su and Old Madam Su always worried too much. Perhaps they would only feel at ease once the eldest family had settled down.
“Your grandmother and I are doing fantastic. Didn’t you see how much everyone else envies us? The villagers mentioned how good our son and daughter-in-law are. They even envy us for having Binglan as our granddaughter,” Old Master Su said as he looked back and forth between the mother and daughter.
Since Su Binglan woke up from her coma, she became more thoughtful and capable. Everyone could see it, mainly because they were from the same village. The villagers would always chat a little whenever they gathered. They also knew the Su family had improved because of Su Binglan.
Of course, it tempted them. Everyone thought about how great it would be if Su Binglan were their daughter or granddaughter.
Su Binglan was a little embarrassed as she said, “I’m not as great as you say, Grandpa and Grandma. You guys are exaggerating.”
Old Madam Su said very seriously, “Not at all, Binglan. You are great.”
Old Master Su usually did not talk so much, but at that moment, he could not help but say, “Your grandmother and I are genuinely grateful to you.”
The Su family’s past and present situations differed tremendously. It’s just that the family was familiar with doing more, so there were some things they could not say aloud. Still, their gratitude toward Su Binglan was genuine.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture In the past, the older couple was concerned about their four sons and felt that none of them would make them feel at ease.
Their eldest daughter-in-law was like that. Su Fengmao became dispirited when he returned, Su Fenzhi was the same when he returned from overseas, and Su Fengchen’s personality changed when his hand got severely injured.
The older couple was worried, but they could only do so much. Old Master Su and Old Madam Su could barely help their children with anything.
Fortunately, things were better. Su Fengmao had improved and began earning money to live an honest life, Su Fengzhi’s family was thriving, and Su Fengchen was living a good life. Su Fengchi even smiled more prominently and enjoyed talking now.
Old Madam Su and his wife thought they could help the elders later if they worked hard and saved money. They wanted their elders to eat their fill, at least.
“Our family doesn’t say such things, Grandpa and Grandma.” Su Binglan felt uncomfortable when her grandparents said that. She thought there was no reason for her grandparents to be grateful to her.
Old Madam Su understood what her granddaughter meant. She said, “Okay, we won’t say that. Let’s sit on the brick bed.”
Su Binglan said, “Aren’t we celebrating the Mooncake Festival soon? I was thinking of eating mooncakes, chicken, and duck since it’s customary during the festival. However, I’m not talking about ordinary duck and chicken dishes. I’ve thought of a new way to eat them.”
Old Master Su and his wife became spirited when they heard that. The two elders and Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binglan in unison, waiting for her to reveal the dishes.
The trio had similar expressions in their eyes, signaling Su Binglan to speak up quickly. Suddenly, Su Fengchen’s voice sounded outside the door, “Father, Mother, quick!”
Everyone heard his voice and hurriedly exited the inner room. Then they saw Su Fengchen carrying a woman into the house. Everyone’s expression changed when they saw that.
Everyone wondered what was happening as Old Madam Su could not react in time. “W-What happened, Fengchen?! Why are you carrying her, and why is she wet?”
Although she hoped for her youngest son to find a wife soon, that was not how she wanted it to happen. She knew the villagers would gossip about Su Fengchen carrying a girl back like that. The family would have to be responsible for that girl.
Only then did Su Fengchen notice Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua there. He started to blush and did not know how to explain himself. “H-Help me put her down before I explain.”
He quickly carried the girl to the back room and put her down. He was panting but quickly explained, “I went to collect eggs in another village. I was thirsty and looking for a spring to get water when I saw her.
“She was unconscious but still breathing, so I brought the girl here first since no one was around to help.”
Old Master Su was shocked and could not gather his senses. After a while, he said, “We have to get a doctor quickly. Her life is at stake!”

Since Su Fengchen had brought the lady home, the family could not ignore her. After all, a lady’s life was at stake, and they had to save her.
Su Fengchen did not think when he carried the lady home. He thought no one would find the lady because she was in a hidden location. The lady’s pulse was weak, and he could not leave her to die, especially since no one was around.
Su Binglan knew she would have to go to town if the lady needed a doctor to check up on her. It had been long since her uncle brought the lady home, and the sky had already darkened. If Su Binglan went to town, the clinic would be closed.
She took the initiative to say, “Let me look at her.”
!!
Su Fengchen said, “I’m sorry for troubling you again, Binglan.”
Su Binglan waved her hand. “It’s okay, Uncle Fengchen. It’s no trouble at all.”
She thought the lady looked familiar and should be quite pretty after washing the dirt off her face. Su Binglan could feel that the lady and her uncle might have a connection. With that thought, her eyes were full of joy.
She checked the lady’s pulse and said, “She’s fine. She probably fainted from hunger and exhaustion. She’ll be fine after a good rest.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Su Binglan’s words.
“Still, you must take good care of her tonight. If she develops a fever, put a wet towel on her forehead to cool her down. It’s not a big problem,” Su Binglan advised.
Su Fengchen nodded thoughtfully while Old Madam Su heaved a sigh of relief. She regained her senses and recalled the previous topic, saying, “Let’s continue, Binglan.”
Old Master Su and Shen Qiuhua also looked at Su Binglan. They were curious and wanted to know what Su Binglan wanted to say about a new way of eating chicken and duck. However, they already knew the dishes would be delicious.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengchen’s ears perked up when he heard that. He could not help but look at his niece and wait for her to respond.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s good that you’re here too, Uncle Fengchen. Now you can listen in too. I remember you hatching many chicks and ducklings. They should be fully grown by now, right?”
She taught Su Fengchen how to make salted and preserved eggs a while back. Then Su Fengchen incubated some of the eggs and ended up hatching them.
Su Fengchen said, “Yes, they’re all grown up now. They even laid a few eggs of their own, and they’ve grown too. That’s why I have an abundance of eggs, ducklings, and chicks.” @@novelbin@@
He knew his niece’s questions always had a purpose, so he explained the situation to her.
Su Binglan also knew her big brother and his wife sold herbal eggs at their shop and that they bought many eggs from Su Fengchen.
Old Madam Su thought of something and added, “Most of our ducks and chicken are male. We should use them first since they can’t lay eggs. We could also sell them since everyone uses them during the Mooncake Festival.”
Meanwhile, Old Master Su thought of past market trends over the years. He said, “Nowadays, most raise one or two chickens and ducks for cooking. Only a few are willing to buy them.
“Indeed, some townsfolk buy ducks and chickens, but many also sell them. That’s why we will have trouble selling ours.”
At that time, Su Fengchen incubated his eggs and hatched them to save money. However, most of them were male, so he could only keep them. With so many ducks and chickens, he became busy.
Su Binglan’s eyes lit up as she said, “That’s good because it just happened to come in handy.”
Old Madam Su immediately understood what her granddaughter meant. “Do you have a solution, Binglan?”
Su Binglan replied, “Of course. When I said fresh meals, I meant the cooking method. We can make grilled chicken and roast duck, which are delicious. We can premake them so that everyone can buy and reheat them. There’s no need for the customers to do much.”
Su Fengchen was excited yet puzzled. “G-Grilled chicken and roast duck?”
Ads by Pubfuture It was his first time hearing of such things, but it came from his niece, so he was not surprised for long. Still, everyone knew how delicious Su Binglan’s cooking always was. Just the thought of it made everyone hungry.
Su Binglan’s eyes glinted with a brilliant light when she thought of delicious food. She smiled slightly and said, “Yes, grilled chicken and roast duck. They’re delicious if cooked right. You can eat them with your hands.”
Shen Qiuhua thought of how she usually cooked chicken and duck. She said, “Most would typically eat chicken, but only a few ate ducks because they could stew or boil the chicken.
“Chickens have always been a great source of nutrition. Everyone stews them during their confinement period to eat and drink chicken soup. The taste is relatively acceptable too.
“Still, how we cook ducks is simple but not the same when we stew them like chicken. Besides, ducks are more expensive, so people rarely buy them. Most only raise ducks to get their eggs.”
Old Madam Su nodded. “You’re right. Fengchen raised more chickens than ducks initially. We only started raising more ducks because you taught Fengchen how to make salted and preserved duck eggs.
“We collected more chicken eggs than duck eggs throughout the village because most families raised chickens instead of ducks.”
Su Fengchen thought about how well he sold his salted and preserved eggs. Then he happily said, “My eggs are selling well, but it’s not enough to warrant me raising so many.
“Since that’s the case, I usually buy duck eggs from other villagers. Everyone was happy when I said I would buy their chicken eggs and duck eggs.”
Shen Qiuhua echoed, “That would be more convenient. In the past, we raised chickens that laid eggs and saved them. Then we sold the eggs in town whenever we had a small basket’s worth. Almost every family did that.”
She emotionally sighed when she reminisced.
“Don’t underestimate the price of eggs. One can have a significant monthly income if one raises too many chickens. Then one can use that income to purchase noodles and meat for their family.”
Old Madam Su thought of the past few days and became absent-minded. “That’s right, but we must also feed the chickens and ducks we raise. We can’t raise too many if we have difficulties selling their eggs.
“We buy as much as everyone has now, so the villagers are willing to raise more. After all, their livelihoods will improve if they have more money.”
Su Binglan inwardly sighed when she heard that.
Indeed, the villagers would be thrilled to earn more money because their lives would be much better. They could not bear to buy more if they were tight on money.
Based on her memories, Su Binglan knew how the villagers lived.

The villagers lived on grain crops. After so much hard work, they would only have enough grain to eat for a year when the autumn harvest ended. Then they would sell the rest of their grain to save just enough for a year.
Now, they could sell more eggs to earn money, but those without skills would have no other source of income. Moreover, no one dared to get sick because the cost of medicinal herbs was too high. One would use the local treatment method for a cold or a fever.
Su Binglan hoped to make the villagers wealthy, too, since it would have a positive effect. For example, since her uncle’s salted and preserved eggs sold well, he would buy more from the villagers, and they would earn some money.
Su Binglan said thoughtfully, “You won’t have to worry about being unable to sell them, Uncle Fengchen. Your egg dishes are selling well, so you can buy more supplies from the villagers. Leave the selling to me.
!!
“Your egg dishes will remain popular even if we sell them in other towns. These things are easy to sell since the market is massive.” Su Binglan always had a way of selling these things.
Su Fengchen excitedly nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
He wanted to say thank you but was afraid of being too polite. He felt his life had a purpose and was meaningful now, especially when he bought eggs from the villagers.
None of the villagers initially believed it, but everyone was grateful to Su Fengchen when they discovered what he had done for them. He also knew life was not easy for most households.
He was inadvertently helping himself and the villagers. Su Fengchen was thrilled that everyone else was happy because he enjoyed doing such meaningful things.
Since that was the case, he could overcome the negative emotions in his heart, no longer feeling depressed and self-abased. He discovered that he had more to look forward to in his life and could still do many things.
Then Su Binglan talked about the grilled chicken and roast duck. When she talked about them, Old Madam Su could not help herself. After all, she had eaten many delicious foods recently.
She asked, “Why don’t we slaughter a duck and a chicken tonight, Binglan? Then we can make the grilled chicken and roast duck you mentioned. We won’t remember how to make them if you just tell us. It’d be better if we learned while doing it.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan understood her grandmother’s reasoning. However, she could not argue if she were to ask her grandmother and uncle to slaughter a chicken and duck as test subjects.
She only visited them to buy eggs from Su Fengchen so she could make mooncakes. Still, she did not expect Old Madam Su to be so straightforward. She noticed her grandmother’s excited expression and smiled. @@novelbin@@
Su Fengchen also hurriedly added, “I’ll slaughter a chicken and a duck right away!” He had already bolted out of the house before his niece could say anything.
Old Madam Su said, chuckling, “Binglan always has many ways of cooking delicious food.”
Since Su Binglan had developed so many delicious foods, Old Madam Su felt she had benefited from it. Otherwise, an older lady like her from the countryside could not taste so many delicacies.
Old Master Su felt energized. “I’ll go help Fengchen.”
Shen Qiuhua interjected, “You should rest, Father-in-law. I’ll go help instead.”
Old Madam Su gently pulled Shen Qiuhua, saying, “Stay here and chat with Binglan and me. Let the men do their work.”
Su Binglan continued, “Grandma, we can eat the roast duck we make by tearing the meat apart by hand. It’s fragrant and convenient to eat. We can even dip the meat in various sauces. Still, we need a lot of oil to make a roast duck.”
Old Madam Su already knew that. She said, “Don’t worry about that, Binglan. We know the food you make will be delicious. Besides, we can make up for how much oil you use.”
Su Binglan was willing to visit her grandparents because they were open-minded and not old-fashioned feudal people. Her grandparents always supported her, no matter what she did or said.
Only then did Su Binglan feel at ease doing anything. Otherwise, she would have concerns about telling her grandparents about certain things. It felt good to be supported by family members.
After a while, Old Master Su and his son brought the chicken and duck into the yard, and Su Fengchen humanely slaughtered them. He used a bucket to hold the blood so it would not stain the floor.
He even held the chicken by its legs to control its blood flow better. Meanwhile, Old Master Su held the duck by its legs to do the same thing. After draining the chicken and duck of their blood, the father and son could pluck the feathers and clean them.
The chicken in Su Fengchen’s hands struggled initially but stopped soon after. He looked at his niece and said, “Binglan, should we put away the duck and chicken feathers?”
Ads by Pubfuture “Yes, Uncle Fengchen.” Su Binglan had already arrived in the courtyard at that moment. She looked at two buckets and said, “Grandpa, are these clean?”
Old Master Su said, “Yes, they are. I just used them this morning. Your grandmother typically uses them to wash vegetables.”
Su Fengchen quickly reacted. He looked at the two buckets and asked, “Binglan, do you want to use the chicken blood and duck blood for cooking?”
No one used blood for cooking in the past. Everyone would just dispose of it, but Su Fengchen remembered his niece keeping the blood whenever she slaughtered chickens.
Moreover, his second sister-in-law once came to deliver something and mentioned keeping the pig’s blood after slaughtering it. She said she could use the pig’s blood for cooking and eating.
Su Binglan replied, “Yes, duck blood is fantastic. We can use it to make duck blood soup. It’s delicious and nutritious.”
She walked over and squatted in front of the buckets to check the blood. She knew there would be plenty of chicken and duck blood if they kept slaughtering them.
She also knew the family could not finish it all by themselves. However, they could make duck blood vermicelli soup and sell it as a dish.
For that, the family needed sweet potatoes, which she had planted in her pocket dimension. She had many piled up in a warehouse after harvesting them.
She had yet to use them, so she thought of making duck blood vermicelli soup. Although, the family had many things going on and could not handle another business idea.
Moreover, Su Fengchen had not recovered yet, making it inconvenient for him to sell things in town. Su Binglan knew she had to think carefully about this later, but no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
Su Fengchen heard his niece’s words. He said smilingly, “I know your duck blood soup will be delicious, Binglan.”
Su Binglan said, “I’ll teach you how to make it tonight, Uncle Fengchen. Then you can make it frequently to replenish and nourish your body.”
“Okay.”
When Old Master Su and his son finished prepping the duck and chicken, Su Binglan began teaching Su Fengchen how to make grilled chicken and roast duck.
Meanwhile, Old Master Su and his wife listened attentively on the sidelines. Old Madam Su said, “Now we can help Fengchen cook something daily if we have nothing to do.”
Su Binglan nodded.
First, she prepared the seasoning and explained in detail what she put in it. Then, as she removed the chicken’s internal organs, she said, “After draining the chicken’s blood and plucking its feathers, you must remove the chicken’s innards. Then you must wash them with clean water, insert a knife here, and…”

Everyone listened attentively when Su Binglan spoke in great detail. She wanted them to remember her instructions. “Next, we must evenly apply the sugar water onto the chicken. Grandpa, put some oil in the pan and heat it.”
Old Master Su was in charge of the fire, so he quickly did as his granddaughter said. Su Binglan looked at the oil and said, “When the oil is almost at a boil, put in the chicken and fry it until golden brown. Then remove it and…”
She looked at the fried chicken and removed it to drain the oil. Old Madam Su took a deep breath and said, “It smells so good! That’s all we need to do?”
Su Fengchen looked at the spices and said, “Mother, those are useless. There must be other steps.”
Only then did Old Madam Su notice the seasonings. “Oh, the fragrance distracted me. How do I use these spices?”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Don’t worry, Grandma. We’ll use them later.” She added water to the pot and put in the chicken and the spices she had prepared.
“First, we use high heat to boil it and then increase the heat to braise it. However, it will take longer to braise the chicken. I would say about four hours.”
Su Binglan wanted her grandparents to watch as she told them to fish out the chicken when it was ready. The elderly couple needed to pay attention to keeping the chicken intact whenever they scooped it out.
Old Madam Su said, “I can smell how good the chicken is just by cooking it.”
Su Binglan was in a good mood because her grandmother was supportive. “Are you hungry, Grandma?”
“I’m not hungry because I had a big lunch, but the chicken smells delicious. People will be willing to buy this dish just by smelling it. If we decide to sell it, of course.”
Many wealthy people lived in town. Moreover, the Mooncake Festival was near, and many would buy things like these as gifts. Some were willing to spend money, but whatever they bought had to be good.
Old Madam Su believed many would buy the grilled chicken and roast duck if they were delicious enough.
Afterward, Su Binglan taught everyone how to make a roast duck. For that, one would need to refrigerate the duck carcass for a long time. One could not eat it unless it stayed in the fridge overnight. However, the family remembered Su Binglan’s instructions.
Ads by Pubfuture Immediately after, Su Binglan taught her uncle how to make duck blood vermicelli soup. This way, he could make it for his parents whenever possible.
After that, Su Binglan told him the primary purpose of her visit—wanting to buy eggs from him.
“Do you need duck eggs, Binglan?” Su Fengchen thought of buying them from the surrounding villages if his niece needed eggs.
Su Binglan explained, “The Mooncake Festival is almost here, Uncle Fengchen. The mooncakes we ate in the past were too simple, so I’m planning to make them with different fillings. They would be delicious with egg yolks, so I thought of buying eggs from you.
“I know it’ll cost you three coins each if you bought them from the villagers, so I will pay you four.”
When Su Binglan said that, Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, and Su Fengchen’s expressions changed.
Old Madam Su said thoughtfully, “T-That doesn’t make sense, Binglan. Three coins per egg are at market price, and we will charge you the same way if you buy them from Fengchen.
“I know you care for Fengchen’s business, but we can’t allow you to do that. He’ll need to keep relying on you to do well in his future business too.”
Old Madam Su knew she could not take advantage of these things to do long-term business. She could not bully her family members either.
Su Fengchen was also insistent. “Binglan, the eggs we buy from others cost three coins each, so we will only charge you as such.”
However, Su Binglan knew she could cover costs if she used the eggs to make mooncakes, especially if she bought them from her uncle. Although she wanted to do that to help her uncle’s business, it would also save time.
She thought of an idea under her uncle’s insistence. “I won’t argue with you, Uncle Fengchen. I will pay you three coins for each egg, but I will also give you a commission.”
“Binglan, there’s no need,” Su Fengchen still refused.
“Listen to me, Uncle Fengchen. You would go on errands to buy the eggs, which saves me trouble. No matter what, I’d still have to pay someone to run that errand if you refuse. In that case, I’d feel more at ease if I paid you to do it, right?”
The two finally concluded their deal after a while. Su Binglan would still pay her uncle three coins each for eggs and an additional errand fee as a bonus.
Ads by Pubfuture Afterward, Su Binglan and her mother took two baskets of eggs each and returned home. They could use them to make many mooncakes.
However, Old Madam Su wanted them to stay for dinner. “We’ve already made the vermicelli, so let’s eat together.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “I won’t argue with that, but I need to prepare dinner at home tonight. I promise to return tomorrow and join you all.”
On the way home, Shen Qiuhua said, “You’re feeling sorry for your grandparents, aren’t you?”
Su Binglan explained, “Grandpa and Grandma would want to call dad and the others over if she wants us to have dinner at her place. With so many people eating their food, they might run out and start eating dry food again.
“I know how frugal grandma and grandpa are. They couldn’t even bear to eat the buns you sent them last time. They only ate them all when I went there to eat. I know they won’t feel at ease if we give them more.
“Besides, they’ve invited us to eat with them too many times. It wouldn’t make sense if we didn’t call Uncle Fengzhi and his family too.”
Shen Qiuhua understood what her daughter meant. “You’re so thoughtful, Binglan.”
It was already late when the mother and daughter reached home. Su Fengmao and Luo Jin’an also returned from the fields when Shen Qiuhua said, “Are you relieved now that you’ve gone to the fields?”
Su Fengmao said happily, “The paddies in our fields are growing very well. We have more rice than the other villagers, and everyone wants to know how we do it.”
Shen Qiuhua was thrilled when she heard that. “R-Really?!” After all, it had been long since she went to the fields.
“Of course, it’s true. You can ask Jin’an if you don’t believe me,” Su Fengmao said smugly. @@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua looked at her son-in-law. Luo Jin’an said softly, “Indeed, our paddies are growing very well. The villagers even asked us how we grow them and if the seeds are good.”
Shen Qiuhua’s smile became brighter when she heard that. “It seems we will have a bumper harvest this year!”
Then Luo Jin’an looked at his wife. Su Binglan thought her husband’s eyes always looked intimidating as if he had discovered something about her.
When Luo Jin’an went to water the fields during the drought, Su Binglan added spiritual spring water into the buckets. After all, the spiritual spring water would allow the crops to grow better.
Of course, the spiritual spring water was out of its natural environment and could not change the crops’ growth rate. Things would only overgrow in Su Binglan’s pocket dimension.
She wanted to raise the rice yield so her family could give some to the villagers. Then the villagers would have enough for themselves in the coming year, and no one would starve. She could not bear to see a low yield.

Su Fengmao and his wife were excitedly discussing the rice they were growing. Su Fengmao even smiled happily, looking a little silly. Su Binglan looked at her parents and smiled.
Their paddy fields grew well, and it was a good harvest. Her parents looked happier than if they made money. Su Binglan knew the villagers in this era valued their paddy fields more because some of the older villagers had experienced famine.
Having silver was almost useless in that era. Only with paddy fields could the villagers ensure they would not starve to death. Moreover, the price of rice was high during times of war. The villagers could not buy rice even if they had money.
Therefore, Su Fengmao and his wife could store more rice at home if they had higher paddy output. Then they would not panic during the winter especially. At least they could ensure everyone at home could eat their fill.
The sky had already darkened, but Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu had yet to return. Su Fengmao said, “Did those two go to Willow Village for dinner?”
Shen Qiuhua looked toward the village entrance from the door but could not see her two sons. She said, “I know Wenzhe would go to his in-law’s house for dinner. Perhaps he brought Wenxiu along too.”
Su Fengmao disagreed. “It won’t be appropriate if Wenxiu followed Wenzhe.”
Shen Qiuhua took firewood from the yard, saying, “It’s okay if they had one or two meals together. The two brothers are fine, so don’t worry about them. It’s already late. Let’s have dinner.”
Before Su Binglan and her mother left Old Madam Su’s house, Old Madam Su told them to bring home some duck blood. Then Su Binglan prepared a dish with the duck blood she took from her grandparents’ place.
She made duck blood soup and wild vegetable meatballs, and the main dish was steamed buns. The family had harvested wheat during the summer and ground them into flour.
Ads by Pubfuture The steamed buns Su Binglan made were from the flour they had obtained from grounding wheat. She knew she did not need to add much since the food she prepared was pure and natural.
As the family ate, it suddenly started raining. When the family heard the sound of thunder and rain, Su Fengmao and his wife were happy.
“Good! It’s raining!” The older couple revealed excited expressions as they talked about the rain. They were like little children as they put down their chopsticks and went to the yard to pack their things.
Farmers typically put many things in the yard, such as firewood. However, things like that would get wet in the rain, which was not good. Hence, the villagers would pack these things whenever it rained.
Su Binglan and her husband followed suit and packed their things. However, they did not have enough space for some things, so the family covered them with straw mats so they would not get wet.
The four quickly worked as they tidied up their things. After entering the house, the rain became heavier. The family felt waves of cold wind blowing over as they stood under the roof to look at the rain outside.
The wind on a rainy day brought with it a refreshing smell of soil. One would feel comfortable whenever the wind blew on their body, even if it were a bit cold.
Su Fengmao looked outside and said, “Autumn rain is cold. The weather will get colder soon.”
Shen Qiuhua sighed. “Fortunately, we lit a bigger fire tonight. Still, everyone is happy that it’s raining.”
Su Fengmao echoed, “You’re right. Everyone looks forward to the rain, especially when it’s too dry out there.”
Su Binglan understood what they said because the rain was crucial to the villagers who grew crops for a living. Moreover, there would be no rest days if everyone were farming. Most would have to work from sunrise to sunset.
One would say that while most went to the mountains to work, the rest would be idle at home. That would not make anyone feel at ease.
Ads by Pubfuture However, everyone could rest when it rained. Therefore, the villagers instinctively felt relaxed whenever they saw rain.
Su Binglan knew this feeling well as she urged her parents, who watched the rain, “Father, Mother, come and eat while the food is still hot.”
“Yes, let’s eat.”
“I would have forgotten to eat if it weren’t for your reminder, Binglan.”
After dinner, Shen Qiuhua and Su Binglan started cleaning up the dishes. Suddenly, a voice sounded outside, “Father, Mother, we’re home!” It was Su Wenxiu’s voice.
The family looked outside and saw that Su Wenzhe had also returned. The two brothers had gotten drenched in the rain.
Shen Qiuhua hurriedly said, “Come in, quickly! What’s wrong with you two?! Why did you come home in the rain?”
She removed some towels from the cabinet and gave them to her sons to wipe themselves as Su Binglan said, “I’ll boil some water so you two can warm yourselves up. You won’t catch a cold if you drink warm water.”
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua had already gone to the back room to get clean clothes for her sons.
Su Wenxiu took the clothes to the back room and said through the door, “Wenzhe and I wanted to come home earlier, but since the weather was terrible, we quickly went to look for Uncle Fengzhi.
“We wanted to help him pack up his stall earlier and place his things in our shop.” Su Wenxiu finished changing his clothes and exited the back room, using a towel to dry his hair as he continued, “Wenzhe planned to go to his in-law’s house for dinner, but it rained on the way, so we had to run home first since our home is closer to the town.”
Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua told Su Wenzhe, “But you’ve already told Yinyin you would go there for dinner tonight. We’ve also agreed it wouldn’t be appropriate if we came along. @@novelbin@@
“Also, it’s raining, and they won’t be able to see you. Won’t your in-laws get worried if you don’t show up? It’s better if we escort you there.”
Su Wenzhe said, “That’s okay. I’ll put on a raincoat and go there in a while.” He knew his wife would be worried about him if he did not show up.
Su Fengmao looked at how heavy the rain was and said, “I don’t know if it’ll get heavier. If it does, you’ll have a hard time going on foot. Also, what if something happens to you?”
Su Binglan said, “I’ll bring Big Brother on my horse.”
Su Wenzhe did not know how to ride a horse, but Su Binglan did. He would be more at ease with his sister around.
Su Wenxiu remained silent since he had witnessed his sister’s riding abilities.
However, Su Fengmao and his wife were worried. They would not let Su Binglan go because they did not want anything to happen to their daughter.
“The roads are slippery when it rains, and Willow Village is quite far from our village. You need to go up and down a slope while it’s dark. You won’t be able to see the road so well.”
Su Wenxiu said, “I’ll go since I can ride a horse too.”
He had experienced many things when he was on the way home from the capital. He was okay with riding a horse and sending his big brother off.
Everyone was talking when someone knocked on their door. “Hello? Guys?”
“Why does that sound like Yinyin?” Su Wenzhe was very familiar with his wife’s voice, after all.
Shen Qiuhua listened carefully, and her expression changed. “It does sound like Yinyin!”
Su Wenzhe could not care less about the rain as he hurriedly opened the door. Sure enough, he saw his wife. Even though she wore a straw cape, she had gotten drenched in the rain.
“Yinyin, why are you…” Su Wenzhe could not finish his sentence, yet Liu Yinyin asked, “I-Is Binglan home?!”
Liu Yinyin’s eyes were red as if she had cried.

Liu Yinyin spoke sobbingly. Her voice trembled, even though she tried her best to control her emotions. She was also teary-eyed, not from the rain but from crying.
Su Wenzhe was stunned as he had never seen his wife like that, so his heart clenched. “What’s wrong, Yinyin?!”
Su Wenzhe did not answer Liu Yinyin’s question first, so she quickly let go of his sleeve and anxiously entered the house. She only felt at ease when she saw Su Binglan.
Liu Yinyin looked utterly anxious at this moment as everyone stood in the house and watched the commotion.
!!
“Did something happen, Yinyin?!”
“You’re still in the rain. Quick, come in.”
Su Binglan also looked at Liu Yinyin. She had a hunch something was wrong.
Liu Yinyin immediately ran toward Su Binglan and grabbed her sleeves. She started crying as soon as she spoke, almost kneeling, “Binglan, please save my big brother! I beg you!”
Su Binglan hurriedly pulled her sister-in-law to stop her from kneeling. “Please don’t do that, Sister-in-law. We’re family.”
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua’s heart started racing as she hurriedly added, “Tell us what happened to your big brother, Yinyin.”
Liu Yinyin only had one big brother, and the two were close. If anything happened to him, Liu Yinyin and her parents would not be able to bear the pain.
Su Wenzhe came to his senses and entered the house from the courtyard. He also looked at Liu Yinyin anxiously. Seeing her like that made him feel terrible.
Liu Yinyin choked and tried controlling her emotions. Then she said, “My big brother went to the mountain in the afternoon to hunt chickens and rabbits for Xuexuan and Xuehai to eat, but a poisonous snake bit him. Big Brother is in terrible condition now!”
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua’s faces turned pale when they heard this. Getting bitten by a poisonous snake usually meant death, which was horrifying.
Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu’s faces also turned pale. The village elders said one must always beware of poisonous snakes, especially the ones on the mountain. One would be okay if one did not accidentally step on these snakes.
No one knew how a poisonous snake bit Liu Chengwen. However, the woods at the back of the mountain were dense, and it was normal for one to step and get bitten by a poisonous snake accidentally.
“Binglan, can you save Chengwen?!” Liu Yinyin looked at her sister-in-law as if she looked at a guardian angel.
The villagers of Willow Village even called a doctor over, but no one could do anything for Liu Chengwen.
Many years ago, a poisonous snake bit and killed someone else from the Liu family. Liu Yinyin’s parents’ and sister-in-law’s expressions were dim as they cried.
Liu Yinyin wondered what would happen to her family if Liu Chengwen died, especially since he was her family’s pillar. While Liu Yinyin cried, she suddenly thought of Su Binglan.
Ads by Pubfuture The Su family knew to look to Su Binglan whenever they encountered any problems. They thought nothing terrible would happen with her around. Moreover, she was skilled in medicine.
Su Binglan had cured her third uncle’s throat and nose, even though doctors could not treat him. Therefore, Liu Yinyin instantly thought her sister-in-law would have a solution to her problems.
At that time, Liu Yinyin could not care about anything else and hurriedly went to the Su family’s home to look for Su Binglan. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Liu Yinyin would not give up.
Still, she was worried along the way. It was raining heavily, and the road was tricky to walk on. Fortunately, she brought the oxcart with her. Thus, she returned to look for Su Binglan on the oxcart while it rained. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan hurriedly said, “Wenxiu, take my small medical box and follow me to Willow Village.”
“Yes, Binglan!” Su Wenxiu quickly came to his senses and took the small medical box.
Previously when Su Binglan brought Su Wenxiu back from the capital, she started doing consultations in the local area to earn money and heal her brother’s body.
At that time, Su Binglan prepared a small medical box. Since Su Wenxiu was passionate about medicine, Su Binglan told him to learn from her after recuperating. Thus, Su Wenxiu carried the small medical box on his back and followed his sister.
Su Binglan’s expression was cold, and she did things quickly. There were two straw raincoats at home, so Su Binglan and her second brother quickly put them on and prepared to ride their horses to Willow Village.
“Y-You two are riding horses?” Liu Yinyin was stunned. She looked at her sister-in-law’s figure, and her heart strangely calmed down. She was not as flustered as before.
Su Binglan said, “It’s quicker if we take the horses. Mount the horse, Sister-in-law. I’ll bring you there.”
See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture However, Liu Yinyin did not even know how to mount a horse. Still, she saw Su Binglan reaching her hand out, so she grabbed it as Su Binglan pulled her onto the horse.
Su Binglan looked at her family and said, “You guys rest while I go check out the situation.”
Su Wenzhe responded, “I want to go too. Take me with you, Binglan!” He was also anxious since Liu Chengwen was his brother-in-law.
Su Binglan said to Su Wenxiu, “Bring Big Brother with you, Wenxiu.”
“Okay.”
Immediately after, the quartet braved the rain and headed toward Willow Village. Although the rain had caused the roads to be slippery, it was better to ride horses than to walk.
Su Binglan rode ahead while Su Wenxiu followed behind. Su Wenxiu started learning to ride a horse when he returned from the capital. At that time, his sister told him to ride his horse and follow behind her.
Su Wenxiu learned to ride a horse to keep up with his sister. Of course, he could not have done it without his sister’s guidance. Soon, the quartet arrived at Willow Village as the rain got heavier.
Liu Yinyin’s parents left their door open. She saw many people standing inside when she entered. Everyone was there to help as some stood at the stove.
Li Zheng saw Liu Yinyin bringing a few people back with her. He said, “Yinyin, go in and check on your brother. He…”
Li Zheng could not finish his sentence, but Liu Yinyin knew his meaning as her legs went soft. Only when Su Wenzhe supported her could she stand firm.
Liu Yinyin’s parents and sister-in-law were watching over Liu Chengwen. Feng Sisi wiped her tears, saying, “Should we call Liu Heng home?”
Mr. and Mrs. Liu wiped their tears in silence.
Liu Yinyin could feel the heavy atmosphere when she entered the room. Her voice was firm as she said, “Father, Mother, my sister-in-law is here. She’s knowledgeable in medicine, so Big Brother will be okay.”
The few villagers standing at the stove were stunned when they saw such a beautiful girl entering the house.
‘Is she Yinyin’s sister-in-law?’
‘She looks so young. Is she honestly knowledgeable in medicine?’

Li Zheng and a few other villagers were confused, but no one said anything because Liu Chengwen had already turned purple. It was apparent he had gotten poisoned.
Still, it would be good if someone could save him. After all, everyone was desperate. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for Liu Chengwen and his family.
When they heard their daughter’s words, Mr. and Mrs. Liu returned to their senses. Then they saw Su Binglan and wondered if that was Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law. The pretty girl from back then had grown up.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu met Su Binglan when Liu Yinyin got married. Su Binglan was still a kid at that time, but she was sensible and had a sweet smile.
!!
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Liu had a good impression of Su Binglan. Even after she fell from the mountain and hit her head, Mr. and Mrs. Liu still kept her first impression in their minds.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly wiped her tears. “We’re sorry for troubling you to come all this way, Little Su.”
Su Binglan said politely, “There’s no trouble, Aunt and Uncle Liu. You’re my sister-in-law’s parents, which means we’re family.”
Mrs. Liu sighed. ‘No wonder Yinyin kept saying her sister-in-law had improved. Her words are warm and calming.’
Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu was not in the mood to say much.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe held his wife and called for Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi. The trio only nodded and were not in the mood to talk as they nervously looked at Liu Chengwen on the bed.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan checked Liu Chengwen’s pulse and discovered its severity. Still, it was a small matter to her. She called Su Wenxiu over, saying, “Wenxiu, listen to my instructions and start resuscitating Chengwen. Then remove a string from the medicine box and tie it above the bite mark.”
Su Wenxiu listened to his sister’s instructions and started treating Liu Chengwen’s wound.
Su Binglan continued guiding him, “Now clean his wound… Cut it here… Put the cupping I made here… Now extract the tainted blood.”
While guiding her brother, she removed a medicine bottle from the medical box and gave it to Liu Chengwen to drink. “That’s the antidote. Your brother will be okay, Sister-in-law.”
Liu Yinyin instantly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Su Binglan’s words. “I told you Chengwen will be fine with Binglan around.” Her worried heart finally calmed down.
Her parent’s stood upright when they heard the news.
Even Feng Sisi’s gloomy eyes lit up. ‘I-Is he truly okay?’
She was in despair a moment ago but felt her heart beating again. Feng Sisi thought about how her husband treated her daily and realized she was always in a terrible mood.
Liu Chengwen would always be there for his wife whenever she was at a dead end. Feng Sisi did not think much of it in the past, but now she realized how good her husband was.
Feng Sisi felt she was not the best wife, but now that her husband had survived a near-death experience, Feng Sisi knew she had to treat her husband better.
She also watched Su Binglan’s actions unblinkingly, even though she was not in the mood to say anything. ‘So that’s Yinyin’s sister-in-law. She’s gorgeous and has a refined temperament, especially when she poked her needle into Chengwen. Her entire body exuded an indescribable feeling.’

Su Binglan gave Liu Chengwen the antidote and extracted most of the tainted blood from his body. Even though there was still a bit of poison left in Liu Chengwen’s system, he would be okay after drinking the antidote.
When Su Binglan and her brother finished their tasks, Su Binglan said, “Mr. and Mrs. Liu, your son is fine now. There’s still some poison in his body, but it’s no big deal. He’ll just be weak for a few days, so just give him some medicine.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Su Binglan’s words, especially the villagers of Willow Village.
“So, she does know medical skills.”
“She’s so young, yet she’s already a talented doctor.”
“It looks like Yinyiin married into a good family. To think that one of her in-laws is a talented doctor shocks me.”
“Saving Chengwen is like saving the entire Liu family.”
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”
“If I heard of this from someone else, I would think that person was exaggerating.”

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were so ecstatic that they did not know what else to say. Su Binglan simply comforted them.
Even Feng Sisi knelt before Su Binglan, but Su Binglan hurriedly lifted her. Su Binglan was helpless because the people of that era bowed to everything, even though she did not do much.
However, she also knew many would die instantly if a poisonous snake bit them. Fortunately, Liu Yinyin found Su Binglan in time to save Liu Chengwen’s life.
Since Liu Chengwen had not woken up yet, Su Binglan was afraid the others would worry, so she stayed to keep a close eye on Liu Chengwen.
Li Zheng and the villagers knew Liu Chengwen was okay, so they left.
…
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Liu tidied up the house and changed the bed and mattress. They also heated the brick bed so Su Binglan could rest well.
The Liu family’s living conditions were decent, so the house was big with six rooms. The Liu family did not have much rest as they took turns watching over Liu Chengwen.
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were also frightened by what had happened. Still, their mother told them to go to bed early.
The following morning, Su Binglan woke up and discovered Liu Chengwen had regained consciousness. Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi were thrilled. The Liu family even prepared a delicious breakfast to serve Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.
“Little Su, we don’t know what you like to eat, so we made whatever we had. Please eat.”
Mrs. Liu raised two hens for their eggs, but she slaughtered one without hesitation that morning and stewed it for Su Binglan to eat. It was a high-standard thing to do whenever guests were in the village.
Feng Sisi would typically have something to say about it, but she was more willing to do something like that now.
Su Binglan said, “Mr. and Mrs. Liu, you can go ahead and eat. There’s no need to go through so much trouble for me.”
“W-We can’t do that, especially since you’ve saved me. You must eat something.” Even Liu Chengwen was grateful when he woke up and saw Su Binglan.
Su Binglan noticed that Liu Chengwen was okay and prepared to return home, but the Liu family was so enthusiastic that she had no choice but to have breakfast with them before leaving.

The rain had stopped as the sky cleared up early in the morning. The sun rose from the east and shone down, casting warm rays of light through the disappearing clouds.
Feng Sisi lit a fire, saying, “I’ll go to the fields and work after breakfast. We should let Wengchen rest while I do more.”
She had lingering fear when she recalled last night’s incident, so she thought of never letting like that happen to her husband again. She also did not want him to get tired.
Mrs. Liu knew her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship. After last night, Mrs. Liu was even more satisfied with Feng Sisi’s behavior. She witnessed her daughter-in-law being sincere to her son. After all, a family had to care for each other.
Mrs. Liu also felt traumatized. She realized that a healthy family was more important than anything else. She said, “You didn’t rest well last night either, Sisi. You should rest today too. Also, the field is wet due to the rain, so it’ll be harder to do any work on the field.”
There was plenty of mud on the ground because of the rain and Feng Sisi could not even step onto the field. She had no way of working anyway.
Therefore, the villagers would typically wait for the soil to dry before returning to work on their fields and the mountain.
“Mother-in-law, are we going to town to fetch medicine for Chengwen later?” Feng Sisi asked.
Mrs. Liu replied, “Yes, we will. We’ve saved enough money, so I’ll go to town after breakfast to fetch some medicine. You can stay home and look after Chengwen.
“We should thank Yinyin for giving us a silver tael. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have enough to buy medicine.”
The villagers typically tried their best not to fall sick because they might not be able to afford medicine, let alone visit a doctor.
Feng Sisi knew there were countless ways of spending money even though her family lived careful lives. Even her son, Liu Heng, had to pay a monthly fee to be an apprentice carpenter. They could also spend money to buy and give gifts during festivals.
After some thought, Feng Sisi said, “Why don’t I make some food and sell it in town? Then we can earn more money.”
Ads by Pubfuture Indeed, Mrs. Liu was also thinking of ways to earn money. “That would be too tiring, and it won’t be that easy.”
The family knew they could not just rely on their crops, and it was better to think of other ways to earn money.
Feng Sisi said, “I’m capable enough for that, Mother-in-law. I can always earn more if I work harder. I just don’t want to delay Chengwen’s healing process. He must get better.”
She felt the Liu family did not save enough money to buy medicine from town, so she became anxious. She would prefer to borrow money from her parents if it were possible.
However, one of her sisters-in-law was stingy. Even if Feng Sisi returned home, they would humiliate her.
Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi discretely spoke because everyone was tired from last night’s vigil.
Liu Yinyin and her husband did not rest much. It was almost dawn when Liu Chengwen woke up, so Mrs. Liu urged her daughter and son-in-law to catch up on some sleep.
However, she and Feng Sisi had not slept. Instead, they busied themselves with making breakfast while Mr. Liu helped.
Although Su Binglan was in the back room, she had excellent hearing. She could still hear Feng Sisi and Mrs. Liu talking, even if they lowered their voices. Su Binglan seemed to be in deep thought at that moment.
…
When it was time for breakfast, Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi enthusiastically urged Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu to eat more.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Aunt Liu, Miss Feng, the breakfast you two made was delicious!”
Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “I’m glad you think so. Please eat more and make yourselves at home.”
Su Binglan said, “You guys have commendable culinary skills. Your food business will be famous if you start one in town.”
Mrs. Liu heard Su Binglan’s words and thought of what her daughter previously said when she returned. “Little Su, to be honest, I have an idea, but we don’t know much about Tenghe Town. We don’t even know what to do.”
Ads by Pubfuture Feng Sisi also became excited. “Little Su, I know you’re a person who always has bright ideas, so I want to hear your thoughts on this.”
She knew the shop her sister-in-law ran was Su Binglan’s idea, and Su Binglan was no ordinary person. She also knew Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law would have money-making ideas.
Even Mr. Liu was excited as he put down his chopsticks to listen to Su Binglan. Although Liu Chengwen was on the bed, his hearing was excellent, so he listened in on the conversation.
Su Binglan looked at the pot on the stove and said, “I saw Mrs. Liu slaughtering a chicken in the morning and draining its blood. Chicken blood is also a good ingredient, you know?”
“Is it?”
Mrs. Liu had already slaughtered and drained the chicken’s blood when Su Binglan woke up in the morning. She wanted to get rid of the blood but did not have the time. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan said, nodding, “Yes, it is. You can make chicken blood noodles.”
Feng Sisi said, “Chicken blood noodles? I’ve never heard of that before, Little Su.” Her eyes were wide open, and her expression was severe.
Su Binglan said, “I named the dish myself. It’s a dish made with chicken blood and noodles. If you’re interested, I can teach you guys how to make it after dinner.”
Mrs. Liu said gratefully, “I don’t know how to thank you, Little Su.”
She was not a fool, after all. Mrs. Liu knew Su Binglan was helping her family. Otherwise, why would Su Binglan tell them her business ideas? Mrs. Liu sighed inwardly. Fortunately, her family had sincerely helped the Su family in the past.
“You’re too polite, Mrs. Liu. I think you and Miss Feng’s cooking is exceptional, so making chicken blood noodles will suit you two. When the time comes, the townsfolk can enjoy your dishes,” Su Binglan said.
She thought Tenghe Town would become famous if there were more delicacies there. People worldwide would visit Tenghe Town to eat these delicacies in the future because of their fame.
It would also bring out the local area’s development. When the time came, Tenghe Town would become prosperous, and Su Binglan enjoyed seeing lively and prosperous scenes.
Mrs. Liu was utterly excited. “I won’t argue with that, Little Su. I’ll undoubtedly learn and cook well.”
Feng Sisi did not have much time to eat breakfast, so she quickly ate so she could listen to Su Binglan teach them about chicken blood noodles.
After breakfast, Su Binglan went to the yard to look for her horse and took a bag from it. It was empty, but no one knew that. She discreetly removed some sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension and put them into the empty bag.
“You guys will need sweet potatoes to make the dish. Sweet potatoes are excellent as you can roast and add them to the chicken blood noodles.”
