When Baili Xihong took the snack from Su Binglan, he handed it to his mother. Baili Jinghua said, “I’m not hungry. You can eat it.”
She liked eating delicious food, but after having her son, she would always think of giving all the good food to him. Baili Jinghua felt her son would be happier if he ate them than if she did.
However, Baili Xihong was filial and thought of his mother. Therefore, Baili Jinghua always had to find excuses, saying she did not like that kind of food or was not hungry.
Su Binglan watched the interaction between the mother and son from the sidelines, and her heart was full of emotions. She remembered knowing a girl in the modern world that lived in poor conditions with her family.
When the girl was young, her father would catch fish from the river and cook them for the family to eat. However, the girl’s parents typically prioritized the girl ana rarely are ror cnemsewes.
The girl would eat the fish, mainly leaving bones, so her parents would eat leftover meat and drink the soup. The girl’s parents even said they liked eating fish bones to comfort her.
When the girl grew up and went to eat noodles and fish with her parents, she habitually ate fish and gave the bones to her parents. Her parents felt embarrassed at that moment.
When the family reached home, the girl’s parents told her they did not like eating fish bones and that they could not bear to eat the fish meat because they wanted her to have it.
The girl immediately started bawling, but later on, she studied and worked hard to earn money. She wanted to repay her parent’s kindness and sacrifices.
Su Binglan felt bitterness in her heart when she thought of that memory. She knew that one’s strength was limited, but she still hoped she could do as much as possible for others.
Perhaps opening a few more shops and buying land to open a factory would improve the surrounding villages’ living conditions.
Su Binglan had saved money from selling mooncakes and planned to open a hotpot shop after some time. Then she would buy land when the hotpot shop made money.
Ads by Pubfuture After lunch, Shen Qiuhua and Su Binglan went to the house Baili Jinghua had just bought. The house was not extensive as it only had two rooms and a
kitchen. However, there was furniture inside. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan thought they would have to clean the house, but after entering it, she realized everything was tidy.
Madam Zhou said smilingly, “When you visited your first granduncle to buy this house, he told us to clean this place up in the morning. What do you think, Miss Baili? If anything is missing, we can talk about it.”
Madam Zhou was Su Zhengde’s wife, and she handled things smoothly and steadily.
Baili Jinghua was touched. “Thank you, Madam Zhou.”
“You’re welcome. You’re Binglan’s friend, which makes you family. Don’t worry. We look out for each other in this village, so please let us know if you need anything.
“Okay.”
Madam Zhou noticed no problems with the house and prepared to go home. However, she looked at Su Binglan and could not help but add, “My furniture store is doing very well, Binglan, so I want to thank you. I’ve always wanted to open a furniture store but never knew where to start.
“I just think that even if we buy over a big store in town, we won’t be able to fit so much furniture. Also, I don’t know if others can afford to get custom furniture since house rent is expensive, so I followed your idea.
“I did as you said and bought a small store first. I placed some miniature turniture on display there so everyone would know what they would look like before purchasing them.
“If the customers want to know more, we can bring them to our house with the oxcart to look at the specific furniture designs. We can also customize them according to size.”
The houses in Su Teng Village were cheap, and Madam Zhou’s house had an expansive backyard. She built a shed above it and displayed the furniture there.
The furniture was the same designs as Su Binglan’s drawings. The beds, dressing tables, desks, and chairs looked novel, and many had gone to order them. Since business was good, Madam Zhou was always smiling.
Su Binglan was sincerely happy for Madam Zhou. “Aunt Zhou, you were the one who could do all that. If it were anyone else, they wouldnt have understood my explanations, right?”
Ads by Pubfuture Madam Zhou said smilingly, “You’re just the sweetest girl, Binglan.” Madam Zhou also said a few gracious words to Shen Qiuhua.
Shen Qiuhua said, “We’re family, so there’s no need to be so gracious. Besides, your husband made some furniture for us and didn’t charge us much. We wouldn’t have gotten such good quality furniture anywhere else, especially for that price.”
She knew the furniture Su Zhengde and his three sons made were excellent, and the price was low. He probably only charged them the cost of wood and not the workmanship.
When they were chatting a while ago, Su Binglan discovered that Madam Zhou had plans to open a furniture store, so Su Binglan gave her some ideas. Madam Zhou became ecstatic and soon opened one.
Her business was booming because the furniture designs were novel and looked excellent. In addition, Su Zhengde started leading his construction team, and many hired him and his team to build houses.
Then the clients would order furniture from Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou understood that all of this was thanks to Su Binglan.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Madam Zhou left while Baili Jinghua and her son prepared to live in their new house. Su Binglan also helped to tidy up the things and removed the sheets and blankets to bask them in the sun.
Time passed quickly, and the Mooncake Festival had arrived. That afternoon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin closed their shop early and went home since there were fewer people in town. Every family celebrated the Mooncake Festival at home.
The Mooncake Festival and Chinese New Year were significant holidays there. On this day, the academies were also closed, so Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin did not have to pick their children up from school. The two little ones had been home since the night before.
Su Xuexuan, Su Xuehai, and Baili Xihong had gotten along very well as the trio often played together. However, Baili Jinghua was not in a hurry to send her son to school because she wanted him to play more and enjoy being a child.
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai liked going to the academy. They were also very sensible young children who grew up in the village. They knew that attending Blue Mountain Academy was excellent, and it made others envious.
Therefore, the two little ones cherished the days when they could study. Of course, they also wanted to play more during the holidays.
Liu Yinyin said, “Let’s buy some things before we go home. Since the Mooncake
Festival has arrived, we should cook a few more dishes tonight.”
She and her husband had earned and saved quite a lot since opening their shop, so Liu Yinyin was not so frugal now. Still, she only spent money whenever she needed to. For example, when it was a festive occasion.
Su Wenzhe said, “Have you forgotten? Binglan said we should have a hotpot tonight. She wants us to try it since she has already prepared everything.”
Liu Yinyin said, “But isn’t hotpot just a single dish? We still have to prepare a few more dishes if that’s the case. We can’t keep letting Binglan spend her money to buy things. We should chip in too.”
Su Wenzhe explained anxiously, “You don’t understand. Binglan said there are many things within the hotpot, so we can just eat whatever is inside. We also have mooncakes, so there’s no need to prepare more..”

Liu Yinyin did not understand what a hotpot was as she wondered if it would be enough for the whole family. Although she had doubts, Liu Yinyin felt there would not be a problem since her sister-in-law said it was okay.
“Well then, let’s go home quickly.” She could not wait any longer, even though she and her husband had just eaten lunch. Liu Yinyin did not know why she felt hungry again whenever she thought of her sister-in-law’s delicious food.
The couple sat on the oxcart and rushed home smilingly. Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were thrilled that their business was good, their earnings were substantial, they could send their kids to school, and their days with their children were joyful.
Moreover, Liu Yinyin had nothing to worry about because her parents’ lives had also improved. She was always smiling, especially on weekdays.
The previous night, Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe took their children to eat at the Liu family home. Liu Yinyin went to her parent’s house in advance to deliver some food and have a meal during the Mooncake Festival.
On the day of the Mooncake Festival, she would spend it at the Su familys home. Liu Yinyin thought of the previous night and said smilingly, “I’ve never seen my parents so happy.”
Su Wenzhe responded, “It’s because they can make a living with duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings. My parents are also happier since they can earn money and live good lives.”
Liu Yinyin nodded. ‘Yes, you’re right.” Her husband’s words deeply moved her.
Half the afternoon had passed when Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin reached home. At that time, Su Binglan and the others were busy in the courtyard.
Shen Qiuhua was washing the vegetables while her husband built supports so that he had a place to place the pot full of charcoal. Baili Jinghua was helping Su Binglan as Su Binglan cut the mutton and pork into small, thin strips.
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, Su Xuexuan, Su Xuehai, and Baili Xihong played with blocks on the sidelines. They were toys that Su Binglan had made for them since the trio often played together these days.
However, Baili Xihong would stay by his mother’s side whenever the two little ones went to school during the day. Of course, Baili Jinghua brought her son to the Su familys home to play because she typically went there to her Su Binglan with her work.
Su Binglan had helped Baili Jinghua a lot, so Baili Jinghua would help her whenever she had free time. The two girls had gotten to know each other very well as they worked and talked together often.
Baili Jinghua i s personality gradually became relaxed. Only then did the Su family realize how gentle she looked. Still, she kept her straightforward attitude, and everyone liked it.
Su Wenxiu was also helping at home since Hundred Herb Hospital was closed for the festival.
Everyone was talking, and it was very lively when Liu Yinyin said smilingly, “We’re home!
She entered the house as she spoke while Su Wenzhe steered the oxcart and tied it up. Then the couple washed their hands and prepared to help the family. Su Wenzhe asked, “Little Sister, we’re having hotpot tonight, aren’t we?
“Yes, we are.”
Su Wenzhe was hungry. “I know it’ll be delicious since you made it.”
He did not eat much in the afternoon, so he could eat more in the evening.
Su Binglan handed a knife to Su Wenzhe, saying, “Cut the meat into thin strips while I get the seasoning.”
Baili Jinghua interjected, “Ooh, let me do it. I’m good at this.”
After all, she liked wielding knives and spears the most when she worked very hard in her martial arts training. Thus, she was skilled in using knives as she skillfully cut the meat into thin slices.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe was stunned. ‘IT-That’s…”
His sister’s friend was just like his sister, as he felt that Baili Jinghua was not an ordinary person because of her extraordinary knife skills. Su Wenzhe did not even see how Baili Jinghua moved.
Everyone thought Baili Jinghua was a weak woman when she first arrived at the village. They dared not speak loudly for fear of being rude and scaring her.
No one expected her to be such a fierce woman after familiarizing themselves with her for a few days. Of course, that was a compliment, not a derogatory one.
The family would feel awkward if she were a delicate and fragile woman. It was still better this way.
“How’s that?” Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan like a child awaiting praise. Su Binglan nodded and said, “Nice, that’s excellent.”
Baili Jinghua smiled. “Leave these kinds of things to me in the future.”
Su Binglan seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Have you thought about what you want to do next?”
Baili Jinghua shook her head. “I don’t know what to do, but I’ve thought about it. I want to work beside you for now.”
She liked Su Binglan very much because she felt she was again by Princess Lan Roubings side. She finally had her good friend back, so she wanted to help Su Binglan.
Su Binglan’s expression changed. “Well, I have a suggestion. I plan to open a hotpot restaurant. How about helping me with that?”
“R-Really?!” Baili Jinghua could not believe it. She wondered if Su Binglan would honestly be willing to use her help.
“B-But I might get careless and not know how to do detailed work.” Baili Jinghua understood that she could not deceive Su Binglan. After all, she knew what she was good at and what she was not good at.

You’re also good at slicing meat, so you can do anything if you put in the effort.
She looked at Baili Jinghua encouragingly.
Baili Jinghua kept nodding. “Mhm!”
She did not know why, but listening to Su Binglan i s words reminded her more and more of Princess Lan Roubing.
Su Binglan had been dreaming of some strange things over the past few days. She dreamt that she knew Baili Jinghua. She shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and quickly prepared the seasoning.
Su Fengmao set up the pot and said, “Binglan, come here and see if this is
Su Binglan went over, looked, and said, “You did a good job, Father. We can light the charcoal, wait for the pot to get hot, insert the food, and eat.
No one had ever tried hotpot before, nor had they even heard of it. However, everyone was anxious as they could not wait to eat right away.
Su Fengmao said, “Your third uncle gave us this charcoal for free.”
“Okay, don’t tell Uncle Fengzhi we need more in the future because I want to pay him if we do,” Su Binglan responded.
Su Fengmao said, ‘I l didn’t, but he said you taught them how to make it. Besides, there’s no cost to burning charcoal because they just need to burn sticks they find from the mountain according to your method, so just tell him how much more we need.”
Su Binglan said, “I’ll talk to Uncle Fengzhi about it later.”
She wanted to open a hotpot restaurant and needed a lot of charcoal. However, she could not allow her third uncle to give her charcoal for free. Moreover, Su Fengzhi’s familys barbecue business was going well, and they were busy, so how could Su Binglan let them make charcoal for her?
Shen Qiuhua could not help but interject, “We could only cook simple dishes and not anything delicious during past Mooncake Festivals. Still, we would eat mooncakes and celebrate. This year will be the best because we have so many delicious foods. Even our mooncakes are different.”
Su Wenxiu chuckled and said, “I also think this year is extra lively, so I’m looking forward to the New Year since I know there will be more delicious things to eat then.” @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan continued to season the food with sesame sauce she had made from peanuts. Everyone smelled the sesame sauce and thought it was fragrant.
Su Wenwu finally came back after his trip. He just wanted to go home for the reunion festival during the Mooncake Festival.
He ran back to the village and arrived at the door of his parent’s house, but he could smell the delicious fragrance. When he looked inside, he suspected that he was hallucinating..

Su Wenwu immediately ran to the village when he returned. He started panting because he ran too fast.
He thought of surprising his parents when he came home. Of course, his job was dangerous then, so he took longer to return. Still, he earned two silver taels and was so excited that he could not wait to give them to his parents.
Su Wenwu knew everyone would also be excited as even he had never seen two silver taels in person before. He was thrilled.
However, he was standing at the door looking at the scene inside and smelled the strong fragrance. Su Wenwu thought he was hallucinating, so he dared not step inside as he wondered whether or not that was his home.
He had not been home for more than three months, yet his home had drastically changed. Su Wenwu knew his family’s conditions best as they typically ate coarse grain buns with wild vegetables.
They barely had any oil, either. Even if there were oil, the family would only use a little on the wild vegetables. Still. wild vegetables and coarse grain buns could not emit such a delicious fragrance. It was so fragrant that Su Wenwu could smell it at the door.
‘They must’ve used a lot of oil.’
He did not know that he was smelling sesame oil that Su Binglan made from peanuts, hence the natural fragrance.
Rumble!
Su Wenwu’s stomach growled with hunger. He was not hungry initially, but after smelling the delicious fragrance, it would be strange if it did not arouse his appetite.
Also, he saw something even stranger. His sister was helping around the house, and everyone talked and laughed while his two nephews called out to Su Binglan sweetly.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘Did someone heal Father’s foot? He was limping before I left, so when did it heal? Also, the doctor said there was no way to heal Fathers foot.’
Su Wenwu knew his father rarely spoke, let alone laughed when he severely injured his foot, but now, Su Fengmao spoke loudly and laughed even more heartily. He also walked steadily and quickly while Shen Qiuhua was laughing happily.
Su Wenwu also noticed horses, oxen, carts, and donkeys in the courtyard.
IT-That’s… Can my family afford horses? We couldn’t even afford donkeys or cows in the past.’
He knew the village conditions best, and anyone who owned a cow meant that a family was well-off. Su Wenwu wondered if he had misremembered or if maybe he was dreaming.
He dared not dream of such things in the past as he felt it was good enough to have food and clothing. Still, he wanted to earn money so his family could live good lives.
He could not find a way to heal his father’s foot, but it seemed that everything was better at the Su family home now. It was even better than he had imagined. Su Wenwu wondered if he was still asleep as he pinched his thigh hard.
He felt pain and thought, ‘That means I’m awake. So, what I’m seeing is real!’
Nonetheless, he had been away for more than three months, so how could the family change so much? It was only summer when he left the village for work; it was now autumn, and the Mooncake Festival had arrived.
Su Wenwu stood at the door and stared blankly.
The atmosphere in the house was cheerful, and everyone was busy with the hotpot that night, so no one noticed Su Wenwu was at the door.
While the three little ones played, they saw Su Wenwu at the door. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were delighted, saying, “Third Uncle is home!”
The two little ones called Su Wenwu, and only then did he return to his senses. He looked at his two nephews running over and habitually carried them. The others only noticed he had returned soon after.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe looked toward the door and said in a daze, “Hey, Third Brother is
Su Wenxiu was also thrilled when he saw Su Wenwu. “Is that really you, Third Brother?!
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao excitedly put down their things and went to the door to surround Su Wenwu.
Shen Qiuhua looked at her third son as her eyes reddened. “You didn’t even send us letters when you were out there. It’s been so long, and you just came back? You have no idea how worried we were about you.”
Previously, Shen Qiuhua could not feel at ease, even though her family had improved because her youngest son had not returned. Whenever she went to bed at night, she considered whether or not Su Wenwu was in danger when he was out there.
Shen Qiuhua almost cried when she saw Su Wenwu had returned safely.
Su Fengmao patted Su Wenwu’s shoulder, saying, “It’s good that you’re finally home. Still, you knew to come home in time for the Mooncake Festival just to eat good food, didn’t you? You little brat.”
His words also eased everyone’s mood.
Su Binglan looked at her third brother and thought he was not quite the same as Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu.
Su Wenwu was only sixteen years old but looked more sensible and imposing. Moreover, looking at his sturdy frame, Su Binglan felt he had excellent potential for martial arts.
Her third brother was more handsome, and his face resembled a sculpture’s as he probably became more tanned from being out there. However, it was just the right amount of tanning and not over the top.
Su Wenwu looked striking, but he looked like a boy whenever he smiled shyly, just like a teenager on a basketball team in the modern world.
Su Binglan looked at her third brother and smiled as the family no longer needed to worry about him. Everyone surrounded Su Wenwu and asked him all sorts of questions.

“Why did it take you so long to come home?
“Do you notice how thin you’ve gotten? Did you not eat well or sleep well out there? You’ve lost weight.”
“Wenwu, I know how you felt out there the best. It’s best to stay home.
Honestly, don’t go back out there, man.” @@novelbin@@
“Wenxiu is right, Third Brother. Since our familys conditions have improved, you don’t have to leave again. Otherwise, everyone will worry about you.” “Wow, Wenwu, your body is as hard as iron!”
“Yeah, you!re worthy of being a martial arts student, Third Brother. I think you’ll be fine out there because you’re so muscular.”
Everyone talked to Su Wenwu excitedly, but he did not know who to respond to first as he was stunned. He opened his mouth to say something but did not know which question to answer.
He was even more puzzled when his gaze fell on the beautiful mooncakes. He felt hungry just looking at them.
At that moment, Su Binglan said smilingly, “Father, Mother, don’t smother Third Brother since he’s exhausted from his journey home. Let him rest so we can have dinner later.”
Everyone returned to their senses when they heard Su Binglan i s words. “Oh, right. Go and rest, Wenwu. We’ll have dinner soon.”
“Yeah, we’ll have hotpot and mooncakes tonight. Theyre delicious!”
“Quick, come in.”
Fortunately, the weather was not too cold that day. Just like that, the family pulled Su Wenwu into the house. Su Wenwu looked at his sister and felt that she had changed drastically. His sister looked gentle and even smiled at him.
“Third Brother!” Su Binglan even called him Third Brother.
Su Wenwu was flattered, stuttering, “Y-Yes, Little Sister? He felt his tongue twist.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s great to have you back, Third Brother. You don’t have to go out there anymore. Go and rest. We’ll have a hotpot in a while.” She was stirring the sesame oil as she spoke, and the fragrance wafted throughout the house. It was so fragrant that Su wenwu instantly became hungrier.
He had many doubts but was stunned because he did not know which question to ask first. Nonetheless, he was hungry and did not have much strength..

Gurgle!
Su Wenwu’s stomach started to growl again, and he felt a little shy.
Only then did Su Binglan realize he was hungry. She put down the sesame oil, took a mooncake, and gave it to Su Wenwu. “Here, Third Brother, have a mooncake as a filler first but don’t overeat. Save your appetite for the hotpot later.”
“Okay.” Su Wenwu reached out to take the mooncake but remembered he had not washed his hands yet, so he said, “I’ll go and wash my hands first.”
Shen Qiuhua was on the sidelines preparing the water for Su Wenwu, so he quickly washed his hands, took the mooncake, and started eating. He had never seen such a delectable mooncake before.
He took a big bite and quickly ate, as it was a habit he had developed when he worked out there. He could not control himself.
After biting into the mooncake and chewing it, he thought it was sweet and soft. Moreover, it did not taste like the sweetness back then. It was a fragrant sweetness that lingered in his mouth.
Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up as he ate. He widened his eyes and looked down at the mooncake with an incredulous expression.
‘What kind of insanely delicious mooncake is this? It’s completely different
Ads by Pubfuture from what I used to eat.’
The mooncake was very soft, so he almost bit his tongue from taking such a big bite. That was because his family’s previous mooncakes were quite hard, and he might have trouble eating if he did not bite hard enough.
However, he did not need much biting force when he ate the mooncake Su Binglan gave him as it was light and soft. Su Wenwu lowered his gaze and curiously looked at the mooncake’s filling. He noticed it was different because it was yellow.
“What is this, Little Sister?” Su Wenwu resembled a curious child at that moment.
Su Binglan patiently explained, “That’s an egg yolk mooncake. There are other mooncakes with other fillings, too, so you can try them later. Still, you mustn’t overeat just yet. One mooncake will do for now since we’ll have a hotpot soon.”
Su Wenwu was stunned. “E-Egg yolk?”
He never knew one could use egg yolks to make mooncakes. Although he was puzzled, he had to admit that it was delicious. Su Wenwu almost cried as he ate the mooncake because he had never eaten something so delicious.
In the past, he could only eat mooncakes at home during the Mooncake Festival, but the mooncakes were hard. Even so, he thought they were delicious because he rarely ate sweets on weekdays and did not buy cakes or desserts.
Su Wenwu would only buy some during the Chinese New Year, but he would use them to entertain the guests who came to pay new year’s greetings. Of course, he would give his two nephews the leftover desserts if there were some.
Su Wenwu had only eaten sweets once or twice when he was a child, so it had been a long time since he had one. However, he knew he was an adult now that had to stand tall and provide delicious food for the children at home.
“Why are you crying, Third Brother?” Su Binglan asked.
Su Fengmao glared at Su Wenwu. “Everyone’s here, and you’re a man, so why are you crying?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenwu wiped his tears and said embarrassedly, “I’m just shocked at how delicious this mooncake is. Father, Mother, where did you buy them? Aren’t these expensive?”
He knew he could not eat any more mooncakes, no matter how delicious they were. Since they tasted so good, they should be very expensive, so he thought of slowly savoring the mooncake. If he had known earlier, he would have only taken a small bite and given the rest to his family.
“Father, Mother, you should eat too. They’re delicious!”
Su Wenwu remembered his parents saving the tastier foods for him when he was a child because they did not want him to starve. Since he had grown up, Su Wenwu wanted to repay their kindness and give all the good food to his parents.
Shen Qiuhua looked at her youngest son and felt a trace of sadness in her heart. “There are more than enough mooncakes for everyone, silly boy. Your sister was the one who made them, after all.”
“Yeah, our family’s conditions have improved, Wenwu. You can eat as much as vou want.” Su Wenxiu also felt a trace of sadness for his younger brother as he recalled some memories.
The Su family lived in poor conditions when he was a child. They could barely even afford white flour buns, let alone mooncakes. He could understand how Su Wenwu felt.
Su Wenxiu also made a lot of jokes when he just returned home. He would be happy as long as he could live a good life.
Su Wenxiu had forgotten how he looked when he ate the mooncakes, as he looked precisely like Su Wenwu did now. Su Wenwu ate many mooncakes over the past few months and grew accustomed to them.
At that time, he knew his family’s conditions had improved and that Su Binglan had made as many mooncakes as he wanted, so he could not control himself.
However, Su Wenwu was different as he had just returned and thought his family had spent a lot of money buying those mooncakes. He thought he had misheard, so he asked, “L-Little Sister made these?”
Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here Take a Sneak Peek at Our Latest Recommendations Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture He remembered that Su Binglan had never cooked, so he wondered when she learned how to make the mooncakes.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Yes, of course, your sister made the mooncakes. She also thought of preparing the hotpot we’re about to try. I can’t explain to you what the hotpot is right now, but you will know once we’ve tried it together. Also, we have many mooncakes, so you can have more for yourself.”
She felt touched because, even though Su Wenwu was hungry when he returned, he still thought about whether or not his parents had eaten. Shen Qiuhua was grateful that her youngest son was so filial.
Su Wenwu dared not believe it, but he continued eating his mooncake when he saw everyone nodding at him. He did not eat in big mouthfuls now. Instead, he took small bites, looking like he could not bear to eat such an expensive-looking thing.
Still, no one laughed at him since they had reacted the same way when they first tried Su Binglan’s cooking. The family felt a trace of sadness for Su Wenwu instead.
He ate in small bites, tasted it, and felt the joy of eating something delicious for the first time. His eyes even started shining.
After eating the mooncake, Su Wenwu noticed his father cooking something in the pot in the yard.
There was a brick formation at the bottom of the pot where one could place firewood. Su Wenwu saw red things piled in a square with a small pot on top of the square. His father had built a small stove in the yard.
“What’s this, Father?” @@novelbin@@
Su Wenwu had run home in a hurry, so he felt tired. However, he looked at his surroundings and noticed the new things around the house. He became interested and excited, so his tiredness disappeared.
Su Fengmao replied, “These are red bricks. Aren’t they nice?”
Su Wenwu nodded. “Yeah, they are. I never knew such things existed.”
He could not help but sigh when he looked at the red bricks. He was more accustomed to looking at green ones, so he wondered how the red ones would
fair.
‘Hmm, they don’t look painted.’
Su Fengmao was stunned when he looked at Su Wenwu. He suddenly felt like explaining the bricks to his son, saying, “Your sister came up with these red bricks. She taught your Uncle Zhengde how to make them.
“Did you notice the charcoal underneath? That’s also something your sister came up with and taught your Uncle Fengzhi. Since we have a hotpot tonight, we have to use these things..”

Su Wenwu was amazed by the news things around the house as he curiously touched them here and there. He looked at the red brick and said, “This brick will feel good if we build a house with it.”
He liked the color, so he thought of building a beautiful house with them. However, he knew the red bricks would not be cheap either. He carefully touched them as his mind wandered.
Su Wenwu wanted to build a big house for his family, but he knew the money he had earned was not enough. Hence, he thought of earning and saving more. He wanted his family to have a bigger house so they could all live together.
After a while, he looked at his father’s foot and confirmed it had healed. He asked, “Father, has your foot really recovered?”
Su Fengmao was happy when Su Wenwu mentioned his foot. “Yeah, it’s better now. Here, let me show you.”
He stretched his foot and moved it back and forth as he spoke, “This is all thanks to your sister. She operated on my foot, and it finally recovered. It doesn’t hurt anymore, so I can walk like normal after taking care of it. Our family has gone through great changes, thanks to your sister.”
Su Fengmao wished he could tell everyone about his recovered foot. That’s why he always ran around the streets as if he feared others would not know that his foot had recovered.
Of course, that was his little trick. He wanted those who did not know about his recovered foot to start talking about it.
Shen Qiuhua knew her husband was just showing off his daughter’s capabilities because if others saw him running around, they would wonder how he had recovered.
Ads by Pubfuture Naturally, the villagers would learn that Su Binglan had healed her father. Then they would envy Su Fengmao for having such a gifted daughter.
“L- Little Sister has medical skills?!” Su Wenwu’s jaw almost hit the ground. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his memories since he knew his sister did not possess any medical knowledge. Also, the other doctors said that they could never heal Su Fengmao’s foot. @@novelbin@@
However, Su Wenwu saw that his father’s food was fine and had no problems. It was as if Su Fengmao’s foot had never gotten smashed.
Su Fengmao said proudly, “Of course, your sister knows many things. It’s just that you were unaware. Don’t worry. You will know more about her soon enough.”
Su Wenwu felt that his family had changed so much since he had been away for more than three months.
He wanted to see his mother’s excited reaction when he handed her the two silver taels he had worked so hard to earn, but she looked calm.
Shen Qiuhua said to Su Wenwu, “I know it wasn’t easy for you to earn money out there, so you can just stay with us since our conditions have improved. You no longer have to go on long journeys.”
Su Wenwu was in disbelief because he just gave her two silver taels. Previously, his mother would be thrilled if he brought home even twenty copper coins. However, his mother’s expression was calm, even though Su Wenwu gave her two silver taels.
He carefully hid the two silver taels in his sleeves when he hurried home to give them to his mother. He expected his mother to be thrilled.
“M-Mother, that’s two silver taels. Aren’t you happy?” Su Wenwu emphasized.
‘That’s two silver taels, not two copper coins.’
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenwu was beyond happy when he received the two silver taels. His heart almost jumped out of his chest back then. Nonetheless, he looked like a child asking for praise from his mother at this moment.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Of course, I’m happy. I know you’ve worked hard to earn this, my son. Still, I’m sad that you had to struggle so much.”
Indeed, she was happy but also felt a trace of sourness for her youngest son. If it were the past, Shen Qiuhua would jump with joy when she saw the two silver taels, but she was much calmer now.
Even so, it did not mean she was unhappy. It was just that she had seen more silver these days and had grown accustomed to it. Hence, her emotions were not so obvious.
Su Wenwu did not get the reaction he expected, but he was delighted to hear that his mother was happy. He looked at his siblings, and everyone looked calm. It was strange.
He also noticed the family was preparing a lot of meat, like pork and mutton.
‘That’s a lot of meat. We could never afford so much meat, even during the Chinese New Year, let alone the Mooncake Festival. Have my family’s conditions improved that much while I was away?
When the family mentioned their conditions had improved, Su Wenwu thought it would only go so far as to be able to eat white bread. Still, it seemed his family had improved beyond his imagination and understanding.
He was stunned as he asked, “Has our family improved that much, Mother?”
“Of course, we’re wealthy now, so you don’t have to risk leaving town for work. Just stay with us and move around town. There’s no need to go so far away since we’ve recently built a bigger house.
“That big red house over there belongs to our family, and your father just completed the beam. We’ll move in the furniture we ordered in a few days, and then we can move in permanently.”
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua rambled as she spoke about this.
Su Wenwu was shocked. He seemed to remember seeing a big red house when he ran home. However, he was so focused on reaching home that he did not think much of the big house.
He finally reacted after thinking about it again. ‘There was a huge house back there. Is that ours?’
“I-Is that true, Mother?” Su Wenwu stuttered.
Su Fengmao said, “Of course, it’s true. That’s our new house, and everyone will have their own rooms and courtyards. When you marry and have children, they will have much room to grow. Since you have your own room, you will have privacy, even though you’re living with your parents.”
Su Wenwu excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying, “Can I go check the house out?”
He could not wait to see what the house looked like up close.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “What’s the rush? We can move in soon anyway.”
“Mother, let Third Brother check it out,” Su Binglan handed Su Wenwu the key as she spoke, “It’s quite big inside, so just walk around for a while and come home early for dinner.”
“Okay, Little Sister!” Su Wenwu took the key and devoutly ran toward the new house.
After Su Binglan had prepared everything she needed for the hotpot, Su Wenwu returned and excitedly exclaimed, “Father, Mother, our house is enormous! I couldn’t even finish exploring the inside before I came home for dinner!”
He smiled brilliantly and talked about what he saw with everyone. Although it was already late, the moon was more prominent, rounder, and shined brighter since it was the Mooncake festival.
The moonlight could light up the entirety of the new house, and one could see more clearly. Even though the house was big, the interior design gave off a warm and inviting feeling.
The new house had a more extensive living area where everyone could gather, and the family could grow many herbs and vegetables in the courtyards.
Everyone had gone to see the new house and knew what it looked like, but they became even more excited when they listened to Su Wenwu’s description.
Everyone was chatting and laughing when Baili Jinghua and her son came in. Then Su Binglan introduced her and the little guy to Su Wenwu.
Soon after, the family ate hotpot together as Su Binglan explained, “These are the seasonings, so you can all choose which you like most. Then you can put the meat into the pot to heat it, dip it in your seasoning, and eat it..”

Su Binglan showed everyone how to use small plates to hold the seasoning. Afterward, she stirred it with chopsticks and invited everyone to sit around the burning pot.
After boiling the seasoning in the pot, Su Binglan put in the meat and vegetables she had prepared. The meat cooked quickly since Baili Jinghua had sliced them thinly.
Su Binglan scooped out the cooked meat and placed them on a plate, saying, “Okay, everyone. You can take the meat, dip them in the seasoning, and start eating.”
Everyone listened to her instructions to a tee and thought of how unique this eating style was. The whole family sat around the pot together, making the atmosphere lively.
“It’s so delicious! I like this way of eating.” “I never thought I could eat meat like this.”
“It’s so fragrant and unique.”
“I feel warm all over.’
It was autumn, so even though the weather was good that night, it was still a little cold. However, everyone sat around the hotpot and felt its warmth.
“It’s so tasty!” @@novelbin@@
“This is the first time I’ve learned about such a unique way of eating.”
Everyone ate quickly; even Su Binglan continued eating mutton, potato pancakes, sweet potato fries, and tofu. She taught everyone how to eat hotpot, and they all eventually understood.
Ads by Pubfuture The family even fought over the ladle to scoop up the food and helped to keep them from burning, especially Su Wenwu. He thought he had not done much since returning home and felt quite embarrassed. Therefore, he hurriedly helped everyone scoop food onto their plates.
Su Binglan explained smilingly, “Don’t be so anxious, Third Brother. You have to wait until the meat is cooked thoroughly. But since the tofu is essentially cooked, you can heat it a little in the pot before eating it.”
Just like that, Su Binglan guided everyone.
“This hotpot is delicious, Little Sister. It has a unique taste and makes me feel warm, especially because the weather is cold,” Su Wenzhe said as he ate.
“I’m so satisfied! My stomach feels so warm.” Su Wenxiu also ate a lot.
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu was about to cry because he had never eaten such delicious food. He ate so much that night and felt like he was dreaming, mainly because the food was so warm.
Su Binglan had prepared plenty of meat, vegetables, and even noodles. She said, “We’ve made a lot of food, so let’s eat as much as possible since it’s the Mooncake Festival.”
Even Baili Jinghua thought the food was delicious as she had never eaten such a thing in the capital. She and her son had eaten many delicacies with Su Binglan since they came to Su Teng Village.
Baili Jinghua realized that her son’s complexion had improved over the past few days. Moreover, he slept and ate well, causing him to become more cheerful. These changes made Baili Jinghua incredibly happy.
Everyone chatted and laughed happily as Su Binglan looked at them, “I plan to open a hotpot restaurant soon.”
She simply voiced her thoughts, but no one was surprised.
“Yes, you must open one for this delicacy. You have your father’s support, Binglan,” Su Fengmao said.
He thought people would still eat this kind of food even if they were full. He knew many would want to try hotpot for the first time when Su Binglan opened a hotpot restaurant.
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua nodded and said, “The weather is getting colder since winter is just around the corner, so opening a hotpot restaurant is an excellent idea.”
After some thought, Liu Yinyin said, “I think a hotpot is more straightforward since we just need to set up the pot and prepare the ingredients. Then the customers can put in their meat and cook it themselves.
“Also, eating while cooking is enjoyable and especially appetizing.” She had grown keen on doing business and was used to thinking about it.
Su Wenzhe also agreed. “I’ll support you too, Little Sister. Just look at Xuexuan and Xuehai. They love this thing too.”
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai looked excited.
Su Wenxiu said, “This hotpot is excellent, Sister. The hotpot restaurant is a one-of-a-kind idea.’
There weren’t such things in the capital, so Su Wenwu said, “Aren’t you too busy with other things, Little Sister? I can help you with the restaurant if you let me eat more.”
He enjoyed eating hotpot, so he thought he could get more if he helped his sister run the restaurant. He became excited with that thought in mind.
Su Binglan looked at Su Wenwu’s expression and smiled. “You’re too kind, Third Brother, but don’t worry. You just got home, and you should know that there are many other delicacies you haven’t tried yet. You’ll slowly get to know these things soon.”
Su Wenwu was aware that he did not know many things. For example, this was the first time he had heard of tofu. However, his mother just explained that Su Binglan was the one who came up with these things.
Su Wenwu thought the tofu was delicious when he ate it. It was soft, smooth, and had a unique fragrance.
He was stunned, asking, “There are more delicacies?!”
Su Binglan just realized what everyone liked when they tried hotpot for the first time. She noticed that Su Wenwu loved to eat meat, so she thought of letting him try barbecued meat.
Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture She continued putting noodles into the hotpot as she said, “I know you will enjoy barbecued meat, Third Brother. I’ll bring you to a barbecue stall after you’ve rested enough. The stall belongs to our third uncle, by the way.”
Su Fengmao added, “Your sister also came up with the barbecue idea.”
Su Wenwu was astonished as he thought, ‘Is my sister a genius or something?! It seems like she came up with everything around here!’
When he finished the food on his plate, he said, “Father, Mother, I won’t go out to work anymore. I’ll just stay here and help my sister with her work.”
He no longer wanted to leave town for work since there was delicious food at home, his family was well-off, and they had a big house.
Su Wenwu often went hungry when he worked away from home. He could not bear to eat because he wanted to save money. He would help his team with food instead.
Of course, he would eat, but he would not spend too much on food. He only bought white rice to fill his stomach, even if he did spend money.
It was tough out there, and to keep the goods safe, he and his team took turns keeping vigil at night. Nonetheless, Su Wenwu felt happy to be able to eat such good food when he returned.
Baili Jinghua added, “I don’t have much to do here, and I don’t know what I’m good at either, Binglan. Why don’t you open the restaurant and I’ll help? I’ll take good care of the food and the customers.”
After all, Su Binglan would need help once she opened her hotpot restaurant.
Then she could rest assured with Su Wenwu and Baili Jinghua around.
Su Wenxiu said, “I can help too if you can’t handle it, Sister.”
Su Binglan said thoughtfully, “Wenxiu, you must focus on your studies if you want to learn about medicine. Don’t bother yourself with other things. I can handle it.”
Su Fengmao said, “The house is finally ready, and I don’t have anything else to do now. Your mother can handle the soybeans, so I’ll help you with the hotpot restaurant.”
“It’s all right, Father. You can just rest at home,” Su Binglan interjected.
However, Su Fengmao insisted, “You’ve healed my foot, and I can do many things now. Let me help you, Daughter.”
He knew his daughter had done much for the family, so he genuinely wanted to
help her with something..

Looking at her father’s insistent expression, Su Binglan said, “All right, you can help too, Father. When the hotpot restaurant is on the right track, I will hire someone to help. Then you can rest at home.”
Su Fengmao waved his hand and said, “I can handle it.” @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “Hurry up. We can talk as we eat.”
Su Wenwu nodded and said, “There is still so much food. I’m sure we can eat more after taking a short break.” Although his stomach was quite full, he felt he could still eat later.
Baili Jinghua nodded as she also knew she could eat more later.
Su Binglan put a few more things into the pot and ate for a while more. Then she said, “Do you guys want to add some spiciness?”
She planned to make a pot with two sides. One side was for chili oil, and the other was for sesame oil.
“What does spiciness mean?”
Su Binglan looked at Su Wenwu and said, “It’s chili, Third Brother. I’ll put less in later. You’ll know what I mean when you’ve tasted it.”
The Su family enjoyed eating spicy food, but Su Wenwu had yet to try it since he had just returned. He did not know how chili tasted.
Ads by Pubfuture Baili Jinghua had tried spicy food before and thought it was unbearably spicy.
However, she grew to like it and would sometimes eat steamed buns with chili.
She told Su Binglan, “If there were chilis in the military camp, the soldiers wouldn’t feel so cold during the winter.” Baili Jinghua would feel hot whenever she ate spicy food, but she liked it.
Su Wenzhe thought of Luo Jin’an when the others talked about chili. He sighed and said, “I can eat chili and spicy food now, thanks to Jin’an.”
He could not handle the spiciness of chilis previously, but Luo Jin’an had put chili sauce on Su Wenzhe’s lamb skewers once, and Su Wenzhe thought it was unbearable. Still, he grew to like chili and felt that spicier dishes were more delicious and exciting.
Everyone thought of Luo Jin’an when Su Wenzhe mentioned him. Then Su Binglan’s smile disappeared as she hoped he would be with the family during the Mooncake Festival’s reunion dinner.
Luo Jin’an had never tried hotpot before, and Su Binglan did not know how he was doing in the capital or when he would return.
Everyone fell silent when Su Wenzhe mentioned Luo Jin’an. Liu Yinyin discretely pinched Su Wenzhe, but he did not understand why his wife did that. He only looked at Liu Yinyin as she glared at him.
‘Right, Brother-in-law isn’t around, and I mentioned him.’ Su Wenzhe finally realized what he had done.
“Ah, right! Let’s, uh, eat some more, shall we?”
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu almost burst into tears when he ate the meat from the chili pot. “Ah! I need water!”
He stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard as Shen Qiuhua hurriedly poured him some water. However, Su Wenwu still felt hot even after drinking the water.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan said, “Third Brother, eat some mooncakes to suppress the spiciness. You’ll feel better.”
Su Wenwu really did feel better after eating the mooncakes. After a while, he looked at the chili, and his eyes became increasingly brighter. “So, that’s what spiciness is? It’s quite satisfying!”
Su Binglan looked at him and laughed. “Do you like the chili, Third Brother?”
“Of course. After a while, my whole body was sweating, and I felt warm inside and out. Su Wenwu continued eating as he liked the spiciness. “It’s truly delicious, Little Sister!”
“Hahaha!” Everyone laughed when they saw Su Wenwu’s expression.
It was a genuine Mooncake Festival reunion dinner as everyone cheerfully ate and chatted. Shortly after, the family admired the moon and ate some mooncakes just before it was time to sleep.
The family did not go to bed until it was very late, but Su Fengmao had already gone to heat up the brick bed in Su Binglan’s house for Su Wenwu and Su Wenxiu to rest.
Su Wenwu and Su Wenxiu slept on the same brick bed, while Su Binglan slept on her own in the inner room. In the past, the two brothers would squeeze in one room in the old house, but they could now sleep on a warm bed.
Su Binglan lay on her bed but could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. The moon during the Mooncake Festival was perfectly circular and exceptionally bright.
Su Binglan could feel the moonlight through the window lattice illuminating the room when she lay on her bed. She looked at the moon and wondered how her husband was doing in the capital.
Su Binglan could not help but think, ‘Would he miss home during the Mooncake Festival?’
Meanwhile, two handsome teenagers were playing chess in King Ding’s mansion in the capital.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture King Ding Lan Ruozhu looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “The plague is under control, thanks to the prescription you brought.”
Luo Jin’an moved his chess piece and said lightly, “That’s excellent news. I should return to the village.”
Lan Ruozhu took his turn on the chessboard and asked discreetly, “Do you have someone you care about, Jin’an?”
Luo Jin’an paused and did not say anything.
Lan Ruozhu sighed. “You weren’t like this in the past, but if my sister, Roubing, were here, she would be happy for you. I-It’s been three years, and I thought you were… It’s good to see you, Jin’an.”
Lan Ruozhu was truly happy to see his friend. “Hey, if it weren’t for the plague in the capital, you wouldn’t have come, right?”
Luo Jin’an was silent for a while before saying, “It’s not the right time. You’ll be in danger if you expose yourself too early.”
Lan Ruozhu sighed again. “I’ve put my life and death aside. I might not have survived this long if I hadn’t promised my sister I’d live on.”
“Since you’re still alive, I must live on too. I must avenge my Wei army and allow the surviving members to enjoy the sunlight,” Luo Jin’an said, frowning.
“That’s what my sister wants too, Jin’an. So, I will fight for that position,” Lan Ruozhu was determined when he said that. It was as if a flame was burning in his eyes.
Luo Jin’an looked at Lan Ruozhu and said, “Let the others fight first. We should conserve our strength and let Dingzhou develop. Only by storing our strength can we claim that position. Still, you must protect yourself and avoid danger.” Luo Jin’an knew what Lan Ruozhu was going to do.
Lan Ruozhu said, “Don’t worry. My father left the Shadow Guards to me. My sister even trained some of them. They are powerful and will protect me well. However, can you genuinely live in that place?”
Luo Jin’an said, “That’s the place Princess Lan chose for me, so there won’t be any problems.”
Lan Ruozhu sighed and said, “She said she’ll return.”
“I’ll never forget that, but do you honestly think she can live again?” Luo Jin’an asked thoughtfully.
After all, how could a person come back to life after death?
Lan Ruozhu was a bit skeptical, but he firmly believed his sister’s words. He covered his chest and said, “I’ve always thought she’s still alive. At that time, she chose Tenghe Town for a reason and said there was a slim chance of survival.. Have you seen her or anyone similar to her there?”

Luo Jin’an held his chess piece with his slender fingers as they tensed up, but he did not say anything.
Seeing Luo Jin’an like that, Lan Ruozhu said sadly, “Yeah, that’s what I thought. Why would she be there? She’s gone, so how could she exist in this world anymore?”
“It’s my fault,” Luo Jin’an said.
“Cough, cough. Ahem!” Lan Ruozhu started coughing.
Luo Jin’an released the chess piece in his hand and went to Lan Ruozhu’s side.
Then he reached out and gently patted Lan Ruozhu. “I’ll call a doctor for you.”
Lan Ruozhu shook his head and said softly, “I’m fine. The people from the Legendary Medicine Valley came and nursed me not too long ago. I’m fine now.
Although they can’t completely cure me, I can live long enough to avenge us.”
He clenched his fists when he said that as two flames burned in his eyes, wanting revenge. After all, his sister would not have died if it were not for those people.
Lan Roubing would not have fallen ill if she had not saved her brother when they were children. Still, she kept plotting for him, even though she was so young.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘It’s been three years. Roubing would have been eighteen years old if she were still alive.’ Lan Ruozhu’s eyes reddened when he thought of this.
No one knew how much his sister’s death had hit him. Lan Ruozhu felt his heart would bleed whenever he thought of his sister, but there was nothing he could do now except endure the pain. @@novelbin@@
He knew it was useless to rely on impulse sometimes, so he had to endure and accumulate strength to avenge his sister.
Luo Jin’an looked at Lan Ruozhu but did not know how to comfort him. Luo Jin’an could understand how Lan Ruozhu felt because he was also full of hatred.
He thought of the past and felt disappointed. Then he looked at Lan Ruozhu and said, “Princess Lan would want you to live a happy life, not one filled with hatred.”
Lan Ruozhu said faintly, “You, too, know that my parents died early. I’ve been dependent on Roubing since I was a child, so how could I not feel hate when she died?
“If it weren’t for those people, my sister would have led a happy and healthy life instead of dying at such a young age. It’s my fault for failing to protect her, especially as her brother.”
Lan Ruozhu would only say these heartfelt words when faced with Luo Jin’an.
He kept many things and words in his heart, which caused him a lot of pain. Perhaps he felt better after saying these things.
Immediately after, Luo Jin’an became a little absent-minded. He wondered if he would feel as much hatred as Lan Ruozhu if he had not met Su Binglan. Maybe it was so.
Since Luo Jin’an met Su Binglan, she gave him the warmth of his home, causing his heart to heal gradually. These days, his state of mind was calmer whenever he thought of the past.
If it were not for the burdens Luo Jin’an had, he would enjoy living a simple and comfortable life in Su Teng Village. Every day would be relaxing since he genuinely liked that lifestyle.
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an said, “It’s not your fault; it’s theirs. We must accumulate our strength now. We will strike and take revenge when the time is right.”
A cold light glinted across Luo Jin’an’s gorgeous eyes. It was sharp and frigid, carrying extreme danger.
Lan Ruozhu understood what he must do. After talking for a while, he asked,
“Do you still want to return to Su Teng Village?”
Luo Jin’an nodded, saying, “I’m studying at Blue Mountain Academy. Those people didn’t expect me to survive, but if I remained here, they would find out and know I am by your side. Then they would undoubtedly hunt us down.
“If it were just you, those people wouldn’t take you as a threat and leave Dingzhou alone.”
Lan Ruozhu understood that and said, “Yes, they don’t think I will live any longer with my current condition. I must use this illusion to buy time for Dingzhou for at least a few more years.”
Luo Jin’an agreed, “Yes, two to three years are enough for Dingzhou to develop.”
Lan Ruozhu noticed the gentleness in Luo Jin’an’s eyes and said, “If it’s possible, I’d like to go to Tenghe town and check it out. Still, I know I can’t go there for the time being, or I’ll attract the attention of the many forces in Chu Country to Tenghe Town.”
He understood what he should and should not do at this stage.
“Speaking of which, how did you survive? What kind of betrayal did the Wei family army have to suffer to get wiped out completely?”
The Wei family army was the most elite unit in Chu Country, and everyone knew their strength. Such a tragic thing would not have happened if it were not for the betrayal.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Lan Ruozhu dared not imagine the scene, so he did not know how Luo Jin’an had survived. Still, he knew Luo Jin’an must have experienced horrific things. Otherwise, Luo Jin’an’s body would not have become so scarred and weak.
Luo Jin’an was the most dazzling existence in all of Chu Country in the past. He was magnificent and unparalleled, like a spring breeze and the warm sun. However, something had restrained his emotions, and others could not feel the fluctuation of his internal energy.
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed when Lan Ruozhu asked him that question. He became pale, and his eyes were red. Lan Ruozhu was shocked when he saw Luo Jin’an’s expression.
He had never seen Luo Jin’an react that way, as he had a dark and demonic aura around him. He seemed dark and cold, causing Lan Ruozhu to feel suffocated.
Luo Jin’an was never like this in the past, and Lan Ruozhu knew he could not allow Luo Jin’an to think of the past or something bad would happen.
He hurriedly stood before Luo Jin’an and thundered, “Don’t think about it,
Jin’an! Think about Roubing, Su Teng Village, Tenghe Town, Blue Mountain
Academy…”
Luo Jin’an seemed to have heard Lan Ruozhu’s voice and thought about his good times in Su Teng Village. His expression returned to normal, and his reddened eyes regained their clarity.
Lan Ruozhu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Jin’an had recovered. “You scared me there. Don’t think about the battlefield anymore, please. If anything happens to you, I will let my sister down. Roubing only wants you to be happy.” Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “I’ve been away for too long. I should return to the village.”
Lan Ruozhu asked, “How is your kung fu? Can you still fight?”
Luo Jin’an said in a deep voice, “I must suppress the cold poison in my body, so I can’t use force, or it’ll spread.”
Lan Ruozhu nodded and said, “I’ll tell the Shadow Guards to escort you back.”
Luo Jin’an shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry. Luo Ying will be by my side along the way. Nothing will happen to me.”
Besides two of King Ding Lan Ruozhu’s confidants and the Shadow Guards, no one knew that Major General Wei had gone to King Ding’s mansion. No one else knew he was still alive, so Luo Jin’an could leave unnoticed.
He seemed to have thought of something and said to Lan Ruozhu, “Miss Baili is with her son in Su Teng Village. You don’t have to worry about them.”
Lan Ruozhu faintly smiled when he heard the good news. “It’s great that the people my sister cares about are alive.”
Now, Lan Ruozhu also had the idea of living..

Lan Ruozhu felt he was not fighting alone because he wanted to fight for the people still alive, the people his sister cared for. He also promised his sister he would live well.
After the Mooncake Festival, Su Binglan stayed home to help with the autumn harvest for a few days. Since the paddy had matured, they had to put away the rice quickly. Therefore, the people of Tenghe Town started getting busier over the next few days.
Many did not go home for lunch since they needed to bring the rice home early—instead, they packed dry food and water to eat and drink in the fields. After eating, everyone continued their work.
Although it was autumn. the sun still shined brightlv in the afternoon.
However, none of the villagers felt tired as they were busy bringing the rice home.
Even if some took a lunch break, they would hurriedly finish their food and return to work.
Su Binglan did not go to the shop these days. Instead, she stayed in the village and went to work in the fields in the morning. Even though the family had hired a long-term worker, everyone had grown accustomed to collecting rice themselves during the autumn harvest.
Therefore, Su Binglan could not be bothered with other things these days. She went to work in the fields every morning with her parents, second brother, and third brother.
Baili Jinghua volunteered to help, but Su Binglan thought Baili Jinghua would not know how to work in the fields since she was the Baili family’s eldest daughter. Besides, how could Su Binglan have the nerve to ask Baili Jinghua to help with the farm work?
Baili Jinghua seemed to have guessed Su Binglan’s thoughts and said, “You don’t have to overthink. I’m just curious and want to do something with you. Besides, I’m strong and not a spoiled person. I’ll know what to do once you teach me. I wanted to take my son to play in the fields anyway.”
The villagers had been busy harvesting their rice over the past few days, so Baili Jinghua did not feel at ease if she just stayed home.
Under Baili Jinghua’s insistence, Su Binglan finally agreed to let her help. Baili Jinghua took her son along, and he was very obedient. He would listen if she told him to sit on a rock or the ground.
Baili Xihong noticed everyone was busy, so he wanted to help. “I’ll help you,
Ads by Pubfuture Mom.”
Baili Jinghua’s heart melted. “I’m not tired, Xihong. You’re still a kid, so you can just play by the side.”
In the past, Su Binglan thought Baili Jinghua was still a young miss, but after working alongside her, Su Binglan realized she was not as delicate as she looked.
Baili Jinghua was not afraid of hard work. On the contrary, she was tenacious. Su Binglan noticed this and started to admire Baili Jinghua.
The whole family went home for lunch at noon, and afterward, they returned to the fields to continue working. Baili Jinghua raised her head and saw the surrounding fields and busy villagers.
Everyone was collecting rice, and the fast-moving villagers occasionally exchanged a few words. Still, they could not talk or rest too much since they were in a rush to harvest their rice and return home.
When Baili Jinghua looked up, she saw the blue skies as a cold breeze blew. She breathed in the fresh air and felt carefree. She felt at ease here since it was lively yet relaxed. After a quick breather, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and continued working.
Everyone had used all their strength to work over the past few days because they could eat more if they worked hard. After eating, everyone went to sleep on their beds with their comfortable pillows. Perhaps they slept well because they had worked all day and became tired quickly.
Baili Jinghua realized that hers and her son’s mental state had improved as the days passed. One morning, she touched her waist and noticed she had some meat on her bones.
‘D-Did I gain weight?’
She also noticed her son had become heavier when she carried him. Baili Jinghua was overjoyed because it meant that her son had eaten and slept well recently.
In the past, her son remained skinny, no matter how much she fed him. However, Baili Xihong started eating and sleeping well after moving to Su Teng Village.
“I will give you a better life in the future, Xihong. I want you to be happy for the rest of your life,” Baili Jinghua said.
Baili Xihong responded thoughtfully, “You must be happy too, Mother.”
Baili Jinghua felt a warmth in her heart as she replied, “Yes, we’ll all be happy.”
Ads by Pubfuture Even though there were many members in Su Binglan’s family, harvesting their rice took a long time. Some villagers had more land than Su Binglan’s family, but they finished their harvest earlier. @@novelbin@@
Everyone realized that Su Binglan’s family had a high rice yield with large grains. Many looked at Shen Qiuhua enviously, and one person said, “Madam
Shen, we’ve agreed to buy some seeds from you so we can have the same rice grains as you next year.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the bumper harvest of rice and could not hide her smile.
She said, “We use the same seeds as you.”
“We also want to buy some paddy seeds from you, Miss Shen, mainly because you have twice as much rice as us. Since we’re on the same land, we’ll be happy if we can double the amount of rice we can harvest.’
The Su family harvested two years’ worth of rice in one year, and just thinking about it excited Shen Qiuhua. The villagers asked Shen Qiuhua to lend some seeds, and she agreed since they were from the same village. After all, she would be too embarrassed not to agree.
Still, it was a good thing that her family’s conditions had improved. Shen Qiuhua had spare money and could go to town to buy food, so why wouldn’t the villagers ask her for some seeds?
After sharing some of their rice with the villagers, the Su family might not have enough to eat, but Shen Qiuhua looked at the yard full of rice and happily said, “It’s a good thing my family has plenty of rice. We promise to give you guys some since we still have plenty of grain in reserve.”
Su Fengmao said curiously, “That’s strange. We have the same seeds and share the same land, so why do we have so much more than them?”
Su Wenwu said, “We must have planted the paddy seeds more carefully. We must’ve produced more rice since we used a different method.”
“That’s true. Your brother-in-law was home during a drought, and he watered the land daily. He never let the land go dry,” Su Fengmao said, nodding.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan discreetly put a portion of rice in her pocket dimension. She knew the seeds would improve exponentially when her pocket dimension’s spiritual energy nourished them.
The villagers would have a higher yield the following year after planting these seeds. Then everyone would keep a small portion of rice for themselves and sell the surplus for money.
Since that was the case, the price of rice would not be too high because there would be more in the market. Then people from other villages could afford more rice if they did not have enough.
Still, this change had to happen one step at a time. For the time being, Su Binglan could only change Su Teng Village’s situation.
After harvesting the rice, it was time to dry them. The village had a special field where most villagers dried their rice. However, the village official supervised that place, so no one dared to steal other people’s rice in broad daylight.
Also, the villagers knew each other well and always knew who went in and out of the drying field.
Nonetheless, everyone would put away their rice when it was nighttime since they feared it would rain and wet the rice they had worked so hard to dry..

The villagers typically took their rice out to dry and brought it home at night. Then they would pound the rice to peel the husk when it was dry. However, these were not urgent tasks. Since it took a long time to do, the villagers worked slowly.
After the autumn harvest, the villagers no longer had to work so hard as they started peeling peanuts, corn, and pound rice at home. After that, they prepared for the frigid winter.
Sometimes, it would snow so heavily that the mountains would become inaccessible. That’s why most prepared themselves in advance for the winter so they would not have to go out.
Of course, those with free time occasionally went hunting in the mountains just before winter. However, they did not go too deep into the mountains and would hunt rabbits at most.
Su Binglan did not want to think about winter because it was still autumn, and she still had a lot of things to do. After harvesting rice, she began working on starting the hotpot restaurant. After all, one needed a big shop to open a hotpot restaurant.
In her opinion, the hotpot restaurant would be famous, so a small shop would not suffice. One needed a shop big enough, preferably one with two floors, so that they could accommodate more people.
When Su Binglan went to town, the first thing she did was look for a shop. Then she would let Lin Zheng handle the matter.
Lin Zheng was ecstatic when he learned that his master would open another shop. “Master, do you want to rent a shop with a perfect location or just a decent one?”
Su Binglan said, “The location won’t matter, but the most important thing is that the rent is cheap, and the surrounding streets should be spacious and suitable for parking carriages. Also, I’m looking for a two-story shop.”
Lin Zheng said smilingly, “I understand, Master. I’ll look for one right now. I guarantee you that the price will be reasonable. Also, I know the shop you open will be famous, no matter where it is. It’s just as you said: Quality goods need no advertising.”
Su Binglan patted Lin Zheng’s shoulder and said, “All right, go and do it quickly. The weather is getting colder, so I need to open the hotpot restaurant as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Master.” Lin Zheng hurriedly went to complete his task. He was efficient as he found a few shops that met Su Binglan’s needs in one day. He found a few two-stories tall shops, but they were in different places.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at a few shops and chose one. “Let’s do this one since it’s only two silver taels a month. Also, the shop is huge, and the entrance is spacious.”
Indeed, the rent was cheap and was Su Binglan’s primary concern. Although she had earned a lot of money, Su Binglan learned from her mother that she should save wherever possible. Moreover, she wanted to buy more land quickly.
“Master, this shop is also on the west side, close to your dessert shop. It’s just one street away but big, so it won’t be easy to get a hold of.”
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Didn’t I hear something about many people renting shops in the west? That means the prices have gone up, right?”
“Yeah, that’s near our street, and it’s all thanks to you, Master. No one would want to do business there if you didn’t open your shops and the barbecue stall didn’t become so popular. @@novelbin@@
“It’s easier to rent the shops over there but not the ones on this street, mainly because the shop you want has two floors instead of one.”
Su Binglan understood that most people did small-scale businesses, and renting a shop was just taking over a small business. Very few would rent a big shop since most did not need so much space and the rent was more expensive.
Therefore, renting a big shop in a remote area was difficult. In Su Binglan’s opinion, two silver taels a month was more cost-effective.
“Then let’s rent this shop,” Su Binglan said.
Lin Zheng smiled. “The shop owners on this street will have to thank you again, Master. Once you open your shop, it’ll become famous and make that street more lively.”
Su Binglan remembered that Lin Zheng had yet to try hotpot before. “How do you know it’ll be famous?”
Lin Zheng replied confidently, “Well, your food is always delicious.”
Su Binglan smiled and said, “All right, go settle the paperwork for the shop.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Lin Zheng had settled the paperwork, Su Binglan tidied up the shop and told Su Zhengde to handle the renovations.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Zhengde was thrilled when his niece asked him to handle the renovation.
“Don’t worry, Binglan. I will do a good job according to your requests.”
After he built the house for Su Binglan and her family, Su Zhengde took on a lot more work and was almost unable to handle it. When Su Binglan told him to renovate her shop, he did not say a word and postponed the rest of his projects.
He prioritized his niece’s renovations because he did not want to delay Su Binglan’s shop opening.
“Thank you very much, Uncle Zhengde.”
Su Zhengde waved his hand and said, “You’re too polite, Binglan.”
He felt he should be thanking his niece, even though it was strange for him to do so. Su Zhengde knew he needed to put all his heart into his niece’s renovation as a more effective way of thanking her.
“I’m not concerned about your work, Uncle Zhengde. I went to look at my family’s new house, and your team built it according to the blueprints I drew. It’s impressive,” Su Binglan’s words were sincere.
“You flatter me, Binglan.” Su Zhengde was delighted that his niece praised him. He could not hide his smile, no matter how hard he tried.
Madam Zhou watched from the sidelines, and emotions filled her heart. She knew how serious her husband was in the past as he rarely smiled. Now, he always smiled whenever faced with Su Binglan.
Madam Zhou could sense Su Zhengde’s genuine happiness because her husband could do many things. Many looked up to him and trusted him to work for them.
Su Zhengde felt at ease, so his mood naturally improved, not to mention Madam Zhou. Many villagers and townsfolk went to order furniture for her, so she always slept with a smile.
Su Binglan handed the shop blueprints to Su Zhengde and said, “These are the blueprints I drew. You can renovate the shop according to them.”
Su Zhengde looked at the blueprints and was amazed. “Is that a table, Binglan?”
“No, that’s a stove. I want each table to have one, and the customers can sit on both sides. There will be an opening under the stoves for burning charcoal, and it’s connected to the ventilation on the outer wall.”
There was no electricity in that era, so Su Binglan could only develop primitive methods for her hotpot restaurant. She had it all figured out and designed the shop based on modern hotpot restaurants.
Moreover, the customers would feel a sense of novelty when they ate at the restaurant.
Su Binglan explained everything in detail. Since Su Zhengde had worked as a carpenter for many years and helped several people build houses, he knew what to do the moment Su Binglan explained her designs..
