Feng Sisi blushed as she exclaimed shyly, “Mother-in-law!”
Mrs. Liu knew Feng Sisi was embarrassed, so she said affectionately, “It’s better to have more children. It’ll be more lively, and Henger can take care of his younger sibling.
“Now that we have this shop, we can make a lot of money monthly as long as we work hard. It’ll be enough to pay for your children’s school fees, and we won’t starve or mistreat them. @@novelbin@@
“Your father-in-law and I are in good health now, so we can help you look after them. You don’t need to feel burdened.”
Mrs. Liu’s words touched Feng Sisi. “Mother-in-law, I thought the same thing. It’ll be good for Heng’er to have siblings. It’s good that Yinyin and Chengwen have each other as siblings. I can see how close they are, especially in crucial moments.”
Feng Sisi never thought so previously and assumed her brother and sister-in-law never treated her as family. She felt things would not have turned out this way if not for Liu Chengwen.
However, after marrying into the Liu family, Feng Sisi realized that siblings in some families were closer than others. Even the Su family was similar. If the siblings had a good relationship, they would care for each other and work together. Then their days would improve.
Moreover, Liu Chengwen would not have recovered from the snake bite if he did not have Liu Yinyin as his sister and if Liu Yinyin did not marry Su Wenzhe, who had Su Binglan as his sister.
Feng Sisi became fearful when she thought about that. Therefore, she knew she had to deal with things according to the situation.
Ads by Pubfuture The Liu family had a good atmosphere, so she still wanted Liu Heng’er to have a younger sibling. After all, she and Liu Chengwen would grow old one day, and their children would have siblings to rely on. She would educate her children well and let the siblings build an unbreakable bond.
When Mrs. Liu heard Feng Sisi’s words, she smiled and said, ‘Yinyin told me she was grateful that you let her and her two children stay with us back then.
She doesn’t know how to tell you, but I do.”
Fing Sisi was embarrassed when her mother-in-law said that. She replied, “Of course, I’m Yinyin’s sister-in-law. Still, it was normal for her to want to return to her mother-in-law’s house. After all, we’re family, so what else could I say?”
She remembered not saying anything to anyone else, but she did complain to Liu Chengwen once in a while. Even so, she was just venting and would not stop her sister-in-law from doing anything.
Feng Sisi felt guilty now that she thought about it. Fortunately, she did not speak ill before everyone without thinking.
Mrs. Liu knew what her daughter-in-law was like. Feng Sisi had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
However, she knew that as parents, they had to mediate relationships between siblings. After all) talking more about similar interests would benefit the family’s harmony.
Su Binglan went to Blue Mountain Academy with a basket. The academy was northwest of the desert, but it only took 15 minutes to get there. The northern side was remote, with ample open space around the academy. There was also a mountain behind it.
She looked at the space, and thoughts began to form in her mind. In the modern world, many people would open shops around the school. If many children went to school, it would form more foot traffic.
Furthermore, Blue Mountain Academy had accepted many students from the surrounding areas. Still, Su Binglan was too busy and could not care much about that.
As she stood at the door thinking, two people walked out of Blue Mountain Academy. It was Doctor Wu and his apprentice. Doctor Wu became excited when he saw Su Binglan. “Miss Su?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan returned to her senses and greeted the man, “Doctor Wu, why are you here?”
She noticed the medicine box in Doctor Wu’s hand and wondered if someone from the academy had gotten sick. Her expression immediately turned cold.
“There was a student,” Doctor Wu sighed, “He didn’t have lunch, so he passed out. The kid lost his mother, so no one cooks for him. Also, his family’s conditions are terrible, so they can’t afford food.
“What else could he do but go hungry? After going hungry for so long, his
body could no longer take it, causing him to faint.” Doctor Wu shook his head after speaking.
He had seen too many people who had it hard. He wanted to help but could not. He could only charge lower medical fees when treating and saving people. Sometimes, he even had to handle the fees himself.
Su Binglan’s heart became heavy when she heard those things. “Don’t worry,
Doctor Wu. Everything will get better.”
Doctor Wu knew Su Binglan was trying to comfort him. “Yes, they will. These children can attend Blue Mountain Academy. They are very knowledgeable and will naturally have a good life in the future.”
He was about to walk out with his medicine box when he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Miss Su. Your Second Brother hasn’t been to the clinic these past few days. He came once before and said he was home growing medicinal herbs and learning from you.
“I also heard you consulted the villagers for free a few days ago, and the medicine you prescribed cured many people. I genuinely admire you, Miss Su.”
Ads by Pubfuture
He had been a doctor for a long time and had encountered many things. He also wanted to help as many people as possible, but he was powerless.
The primary reason was that the Wu family was a family of doctors, so he did not have the final say. Moreover, the Wu family collected and sorted their medicinal herbs. The cost was high, so it was impossible to sell at low prices.
That was why he knew Su Binglan could treat the villagers at such low costs. He also heard that Su Wenxiu had personally planted herbs and sold them at low prices.
Doctor Wu truly admired Su Binglan from the bottom of his heart. He wondered how many people would benefit if there were more people like Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Then everyone would no longer look down on patients.
“You’re a good doctor too, Doctor Wu,” Su Binglan said softly. Doctor Wu replied, “I would like to work for you if you open a clinic, Miss Su.” He knew Su Binglan was doing good things for the people.
Su Binglan’s expression changed as she said, “I’ll take you up on that, Doctor
Wu. I would like you to work with us if we open a clinic.”
“Of course, you’re doing good things for the people, Miss Su. Besides, I can learn a lot from you.” Doctor Wu was speaking from his heart.
However, he did not realize that Su Binglan would not open a clinic but a medical school.
After talking to Doctor Wu for a while, Su Binglan carried her things and entered the Blue Mountain Academy. This time, she was a little dazed.
She had not been to the academy for a long time. She remembered consistently delivering lunch to Blue Mountain Academy at noon when she opened her dessert shop.
The academy was relatively deserted when she entered. There would typically be many people in the academy during noon, and it would be lively. That was because it was time for class.
Su Binglan walked in with her basket. The guards recognized her and invited her in respectfully.
When she passed by an area in the front yard, she saw a large empty shed and asked, “What is this place?
“We’re unsure, Miss Su. We heard that they built this shed when Blue Mountain Academy was established. It has been empty all this while, and we don’t know its use.
Su Binglan was in deep thought as she listened. She felt this place was suitable for building a cafeteria. Then it would be convenient for the academy students to eat.
However, neither academies nor private schools had cafeterias in this era. That was probably because no one had thought of such a thing..

Su Binglan did not think much about this before, but after listening to Doctor Wu’s words, she felt she could set up a cafeteria in the academy.
The food in the cafeteria could be cheap and convenient for the students to eat.
Even if they ate a hot cake or steamed bun at noon, the students would not
faint from hunger.
Attendant Lin knew Su Binglan had come to the academy and immediately went to inform Mr. Kong.
Mr. Kong was marking students’ papers in his study room when he heard Attendant Lin’s words. He immediately put down his brush and said, “Hurry, and tell the master that Miss Su is here.
“Didn’t you say Miss Su has been busy recently? Why did she come over today?
Master is most concerned about Miss Su, quickly go and tell him.”
Mr. Kong and Attendant Lin knew how much Luo Jin’an cared about his wife. The trio had hidden many things that Su Binglan was unaware of.
Luo Jin’an was listening to his subordinate’s report, but when he heard that Su Binglan had arrived, he immediately interrupted his subordinate, “You can leave first.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Yes, Master.”
Luo Jin’an exited the secret room and was about to head to the classroom when he saw his wife at the door. At this moment, Su Binglan was standing at the classroom door, holding a basket and looking inside.
However, Luo Jin’an was not in the classroom. Instead, she was walking over from the other side. When Su Binglan saw Luo Jin’an, her heart skipped a beat. She thought the academy uniform suited him well. It gave him an elegant and otherworldly air.
Luo Jin’an was like a breeze through a bamboo forest, gently blowing toward Su Binglan as he slowly walked over. It made Su Binlan’s eyes blurry.
Luo Jin’an slowly walked before his wife as if stepping on the moon and stars. He stood before her and lowered his head to look at her. His eyes were gentle and had a warm glow.
Then he gently reached out, and his fingers fell before Su Binglan, removing the leaves from her hair.
The two were so familiar with each other and had even slept together at night, but whenever Luo Jin’an got close, Su Binglan still could not help but hold her breath. Looking at her husband was like looking at a sky full of stars.
After removing the leaves, Luo Jin’an said quietly, “Don’t you feel cold standing outside?” He looked at his wife’s thinly dressed appearance with a pained expression.
Su Binglan shook her head. “No.”
It was indeed cold outside, but she had not noticed it. Or perhaps she had forgotten about the weather because she wanted to see Luo Jin’an. Either way, her heart was warm.
Then Su Binglan handed the basket to her husband and said, “I brought you a lot of food. It’s still warm.”
Luo Jin’an’s lips curled upward slightly, and she laughed silently. His smile had the brilliance of a hundred flowers blooming. Su Binglan looked on and thought he was dazzling.
Ads by Pubfuture While she was still in a daze, Luo Jin’an reached out and grabbed her hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the dormitory.”
Su Binglan could not help but nod and follow Luo Jin’an. After entering the dormitory, Luo Jin’an put down the basket and poured water for his wife. “It’s cold, have some hot water, okay?”
His voice was charming, especially when he raised his pitch slightly at the end. It was enough to stir one’s heart. Su Binglan nodded and took the cup.
“It’s quite hot, so drink it slowly,” Luo Jin’an said.
Su Binglan nodded. “Of course.”
She wanted to say more but did not know how, even though she knew she had a lot to say when she arrived. She tightened her grip on the cup and looked at the basket. Then she finally said, “Aren’t you hungry? Have something to eat.
“I brought many things with me. You can send some to Mr. Kong and the others. I want them to take care of you whenever you’re here.”
Luo Jin’an smiled warmly. “Don’t worry. I’m doing fine at the academy.”
“Oh.” Su Binglan nodded. “Also, I saw Doctor Wu on my way here. I heard someone from the academy fainted from hunger. Are they okay?”
Luo Jin’an knew everything that went on in the academy, so he explained,
“He’s fine. He regained consciousness after taking some medicine.”
“Oh, that’s excellent news.” Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief. She blew on the hot water in her cup and took a few sips when the temperature was right.
Ads by Pubfuture
She did not know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt her whole body warm up after drinking the hot water. Or perhaps she was just happy to see Luo Jin’an. She saw him every day but still missed him.
“Oh, I have an idea.”
Luo Jin’an sat down and listened attentively. “Yes, go ahead.”
“There should be hundreds of students attending the academy. People from surrounding towns also come here to study, while some even live here and can only go home during the holidays.
“The food they buy in the surrounding area is typically expensive, and their families are too far away to send them anything. The cost of going to school is relatively high. It would be better to set up a cafeteria in the academy.” Luo Jin’an’s expression changed when he heard the word “cafeteria.”
Su Binglan noticed her husband’s strange expression. “Won’t it be more convenient to set up a cafeteria?
She had grown accustomed to considering Luo Jin’an’s thoughts and opinions whenever she did things.
Especially after knowing Luo Jin’an’s identity, she felt that Blue Mountain Academy might not be the place for him to study. It may be more convenient for him to deal with specific matters instead.
If setting up a cafeteria was inconvenient for him, she would give up on the idea because nothing was more critical than Luo Jin’an’s safety.
“No.” Luo Jin’an shook his head gently. “It’s a good idea.”
Su Binglan laughed when she heard her husband’s words. “On my way here, I saw a big shed on the front yard’s east side. It’s an enclosed area, suitable for a cafeteria.
“We can find a professional to buy vegetables and grains and then cook them in the cafeteria. We aren’t doing it to earn money. It’s fine as long as we can cover the cost.
“We can also set the price of food to be cheaper. Of course, we can also prepare a few good dishes. Everyone will buy them according to their financial conditions. Even if some people ate a piece of cake at noon, they wouldn’t be so hungry that they would faint.”
Luo Jin’an listened to Su Binglan’s words. He looked at her fixedly, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, and his overly beautiful eyebrows revealed a warm and gentle luster.
“Your idea is excellent) Madam. It can help so many people.”
Su Binglan smiled, hearing her husband agreeing with her. Her clear eyes seemed to suddenly spread rays of light) shining into Luo Jin’an’s heart. She looked gorgeous whenever she smiled, her eyes filled with tears, appearing very moving.
Also, whenever she heard the word “Madam,” she felt sweet inside. Her heart raced as she stood up and said, “Then I shall talk to Mr. Kong about the details now..”

Su Binglan always did what she said. Thoughts about a cafeteria filled her mind, and she immediately wanted to tell Mr. Kong about it.
Seeing that Su Binglan was about to leave, Luo Jin’an reached out and grabbed her wrist. Due to inertia, Su Binglan fell uncontrollably into Luo Jin’an’s arms.
Her nose touched Luo Jin’an’s chest, and she felt a lump in her throat. She felt his hard chest.
“It hurts.” Su Binglan felt a little aggrieved as she scrunched up her nose. Her eyes started to tear up because of her physiological reaction, and she looked rather pitiful.
She raised her head to look at her husband, and their beautiful eyes met. Her heart skipped a beat. Then Luo Jin’an lowered his head and noticed the tears in his wife’s eyes.
His heart clenched as he said, “That was my fault. I used too much force.” With that, he gently wiped the tears from Su Binglan’s eyes.
Su Binglan felt a sweetness in her heart when she looked into Luo Jin’an’s pained eyes. She was not delicate, but her eyes would tear up out of reflex because she had just hurt her nose.
Her eyes cunningly flashed as she said, “So, how do you think you’ll make it up to me? @@novelbin@@
Luo Jin’an looked at her and smiled helplessly. He gently tapped her nose, saying, “Naughty,” His voice was gentle, “Tell me, how do you want to make it up to me?
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan blinked, “I can compensate you however I want?”
“Yes.” Luo Jin’an looked like he was indulging his wife.
Su Binglan thought about it but did not know what she wanted her husband to do or what he should compensate for. Still, she did not want to make things difficult for Luo Jin’an because he had experienced too much and bore severe injuries in the past.
“I’ll have to think about it carefully.” After some thought, she said, “I’ll ask you a question, and you have to tell me the truth. You can’t lie.
“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded.
“How do you know I’m not the original Su Binglan?” Su Binglan asked. “When did you find out?”
Even Luo Jin’an was surprised. He did not expect her to ask this question.
“Madam, there are two questions here. Which one do you want me to answer?
Su Binglan held Luo Jin’an’s hand and said, “I don’t care. It’s a question, and you have to answer it.”
She did not even realize she was a different person in front of Luo Jin’an. She could act coquettishly and be willful. It was as if she was a pampered girl that could say anything she wanted.
Luo Jin’an sighed helplessly and said, “I’ll answer your question if you want. When you regained consciousness after falling into the water, I knew you weren’t the Su Binglan from before
“As for how I know, one of the reasons is because of Lan Ruobing’s dream. The other is that I could sense you were a different person.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s expression changed when she heard that. “What dream? Lan Ruobings dream?
After all, she knew Lan Ruobing was Princess Lan.
Luo Jin’an looked down at his wife and slowly said, “Yes, she has a unique ability. She can dream of certain things which happen later on. Whenever she has these dreams, her body will weaken.
“She doesn’t dream of many things, but she used that ability to save many people, including me?’ Although he was talking about Lan Ruobing, he looked at his wife meaningfully.
Su Binglan was silent as she thought, ‘Such an ability exists? I remember now. I’ve seen scenes of Lan Ruobing in my dreams.’
In Su Binglan’s dream, Lan Ruobing had dreamed about the things the Wei family would encounter after they set off for battle. Immediately after, Lan Ruobing went to find Wei Jin’an in the dead of night and gave him a silk bag.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Binglan could not help but ask, “Then what was your relationship with Lan Ruobing?”
Luo Jin’an raised an eyebrow. His eyes seemed drunk as he looked at Su
Binglan. “What do you think?”
Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat. “Why do you ask me? I don’t even know.” Luo Jin’an did not argue with his wife about this. After all, at times, Su Binglan would say one thing and mean another.
Still, he made things easy for Su Binglan. He ruffled her hair and said, “Didn’t you say you were going to find Mr. Kong to discuss the cafeteria? Lees go.”
“But I brought you food. Aren’t you going to eat?”
Ads by Pubfuture
“Bring it to Mr. Kong and the others to try,” Luo Jin’an said.
“All right,” Su Binglan replied.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Kong’s study, Su Binglan told him about the cafeteria. She thought he would be surprised, but he was not.
After some time, Mr. Kong said, “Princess Lan also said that the shed is suitable for a cafeteria, but she only mentioned it once. I didn’t know what to do with the cafeteria when she passed away, so I didn’t think much of it.
“However, I never expected you to mention it, Miss Su. It’s an excellent idea, so I’ll leave it up to you.”
Su Binglan touched her forehead. ‘It seems I was indeed Lan Ruobing.’
Images relating to Lan Ruobing would flash in her mind whenever she went to Blue Mountain Academy. She thought they were probably memories from another wisp of her soul.
It was not as if there had not been such a situation in her past life. That was why Su Binglan had grown accustomed to and could accept it.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll start working on it right away,” Su Binglan said, “Firstly, we need to renovate this place. There must be a kitchen inside and some tables and chairs outside for the students to have their meals.”
It was much easier to set up a cafeteria for the academy. They only needed a few people to be responsible for buying ingredients and a few others for cooking.
However, the people of this era generally did not know how to make good food. If Su Binglan arranged for someone to cook here, she would need to teach them how to make simple yet delicious food.
She would feel uncomfortable hiring someone unfamiliar, mainly because it concerned the academy. After all, the person would be here to cook for the students.
Moreover, there must be no issues whether the food’s quality, price, or taste. Only then could the students eat well.
After some thought, Su Binglan said to Luo Jin’an, “We should let Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan handle the cooking.”
“Didn’t you want to train Luo Juan and make her your manager?” Luo Jin’an asked. Although he typically did not talk much, he remembered everything Su Binglan said. He also knew about her arrangements.
“It’s fine. Luo Juan can learn things in the academy’s cafeteria.”
Su Binglan prepared to return to the village after leaving the academy. She saw a group of workers building houses when she passed by the land she bought. She knew it was Su Xueye’s construction team, and they were building the embroidery shop..

Su Xueye had just started building with his team, but the project progressed swiftly since many people were working together. The team had already established the foundation.
Su Binglan looked from afar and walked over.
Previously, Su Xueye had taken the blueprints from Su Binglan and started to build the embroidery shop. Everyone was nervous when they followed Su Xueye because he was young. They questioned whether or not he would be good enough to lead them.
The workers were concerned that there would be issues with the building he had brought them to build. However, they realized that Su Xueye was a natural talent despite his young age since he led them to build the tofu factory.
The workers also realized that he might even be more capable than his grandfather, Su Zhengde. After all, Su Xueye did well in leading the workers to build the tofu factory, even completing it ahead of schedule.
Therefore, everyone happily followed him when he led them to build the embroidery shop. This time, his competence and diligence convinced the workers of his capabilities.
Everyone would listen to whatever he said and no longer thought nothing was wrong with listening to a 14-year-old’s instructions. Moreover, some workers only knew a little about architecture, but Su Xueye would patiently explain it to them.
Everyone who followed him learned many things. Not only did everyone believe in him, but they were also grateful to him.
Although Su Xueye was young, he was not afraid of hard work. He was always on site giving instructions and helping. Even though he was busy, he never felt tired. Instead, he became more energized because he could learn things and do what he was most passionate about.
Ads by Pubfuture After all, it felt good to be trusted by everyone, and he felt an overwhelming sense of achievement in his heart.
Su Xueye was busy with his work when he saw Su Binglan. He excitedly called out to her, “Aunt Binglan!’
He would learn a lot whenever Su Binglan guided him. Moreover, he could now draw blueprints and architectural designs. He could draw whatever building he wanted as soon as a picture appeared in his mind.
Su Binglan had taught him well. Therefore, Su Xueye would become highly excited whenever he saw Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at Su Xueye and laughed. She approached the teenager and said, “How is it going? Are you tired?”
She had not ridden a horse to town because she wanted to look around. She planned to walk around town in the afternoon and look around on the way home. She was thinking of what else to build on the land she had bought.
Su Xueye was ecstatic. He shook his head and said, “Not at all, Aunt Binglan. It’s interesting to build the tofu factory and embroidery shop with everyone, much more than following my father to make furniture.”
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t it good to make furniture?
Su Xueye’s grandmother, Madam Zhou, had opened a furniture store while Su Xueye’s father and two uncles were making furniture. She did everything quite well. @@novelbin@@
Being a carpenter in the village was popular. However, it was a unique skill
that not everyone could master. Some were apprentices, doing the tiring work but learned nothing because the carpenters would deliberately leave them to their own devices.
Ads by Pubfuture However, some were smarter and could learn things at a glance, even though things might seem complicated. Su Xueye had learned from his grandfather and uncles, who taught him well. Nonetheless, everyone had different interests.
Only by doing what he was passionate about would he feel endlessly energized. Su Xueye was just like Su Wenxiu when he planted medicinal herbs. Su Wenxiu would work hard and sweat even though it was cold outside. He never felt tired but instead felt happy. That was because he was passionate about anything related to medicine and doctors.
Su Xueye shook his head. “No, it’s too dull. All I do is make furniture all day, but leading a construction team to build things is different. I find it interesting, no matter what.”
Su Binglan patted Su Xueye’s shoulder. “Do your best. I still have things for you to do after you finish the embroidery shop.”
Su Xueye was stunned. ‘There are still things to do?’
He asked quietly, “Do you want us to build another shop, Aunt Binglan?”
He knew how capable his aunt was and that her ideas could help many people. The tofu factory alone had helped many Su Teng villagers. His aunt even developed bricks and had the idea to form a construction team.
Even when Madam Zhou wanted to open a furniture store, it was because of Su Binglan’s many excellent suggestions that the store became so popular.
Su Xueye admired his aunt the most as he asked her the question excitedly. Whenever others mentioned his aunt’s shops, they would know Su Xueye had built them. He would become famous with his Aunt Binglan.
The thought of that made him excited. Even now, many went to him if they wanted to build houses or even mansions. However, he had to prioritize his focus on his aunt’s requests because he knew many villagers would benefit from his aunt’s embroidery shop when he completed it.
After all, it was a meaningful thing to do, so he had to do it.

Su Binglan nodded, “There will be many buildings for you to build. Work hard.”
“Yes, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan looked around and asked a few more questions before continuing home. On the way back, she saw Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong on the oxcart.
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan and quicldy stopped the oxcart. “Binglan, why are you traveling on foot? Quick, get on the oxcart.”
When Baili Xihong saw Su Binglan, he said obediently, “Hello, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan smiled and nodded. “Hi there, Xihong.”
She was a little surprised to see Baili Jinghua. She got on the oxcart and said,
“Why are you going home so early today?”
Baili Jinghua was busy at the hot pot restaurant and would typically not leave so early. Of course, Baili Jinghua helped Su Binglan, but she also had free time and could go back to rest whenever she wanted.
Su Binglan had already discussed this with Baili Jinghua from the start, so Baili Jinghua bought an oxcart for the convenience of going to town.
Baili Jinghua lowered her voice and said, “I saw an old acquaintance who went to the hotpot restaurant to eat. I was scared. Fortunately, your third brother saw through it and quickly told me to go to the academy to pick Xihong up and go home first.”
Her expression was tense when she spoke.
Su Binglan had never seen Baili Jinghua like this. “An old acquaintance? Someone from the capital?”
Baili Jinghua was from General Baili’s residence The people in General Baili’s residence were her uncle’s people, who thought she was dead. She shook her head, her expression conflicted.
Su Binglan looked on and guessed, “Are they people from Xihong’s father’s side?”
Baili Jinghua treated Su Binglan as a trusted sister. There were some things she could not tell others but could tell Su Binglan. “Yes, they’re related to Xihong’s father.”
Su Binglan said, “In that case, you don’t have to go to town anymore. You can stay in the village. I’m going to build an embroidery shop.. Why don’t you work there when you’re free?

Baili Jinghua waved, saying, “I can handle guns and knives, but you can’t depend on me with needlework and embroidery. I get a headache whenever you mention those things.
“You don’t know this, but my mother wanted me to be a well-bred lady and forced me to learn embroidery, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Now, my head hurts whenever I see or hear about those things.”
Baili Jinghua frowned as if she had a headache.
Su Binglan could not help but laugh when she saw Baili Jinghua like that. She asked, “Don’t you feel busy and tired at the hotpot restaurant?”
Baili Jinghua shook her head. “No, because the restaurant is very famous. Many people from various places know about the restaurant. Some will stop at the dock whenever they transport goods and stay in town for a night just to eat our snacks and delicacies.
“They love eating haggis soup, duck blood vermicelli, barbeque skewers, and hotpot. Those who come to our shop are always enthusiastic, while the older customers sometimes bring their local specialties for us to try.
“These people also buy snacks, roast ducks, preserved eggs, and tofu products before leaving. Those are foods you developed, Binglan. Don’t think the hotpot restaurant is the only busy place around town.
“The customers are polite to us, even the prominent business people. They just want to eat our hotpot.” Baili Jinghua smiled as she continued, “It’s interesting to do things like these. I can greet customers and learn many things about other places.
“Also, I told your brother to learn about my old acquaintance. I know my acquaintance will stay for only one day, so I can continue going to town the day after tomorrow.”
Su Binglan looked at Baili Jinghua’s expression and was relieved. She asked, “Does Baili Xihong’s father know you’re still alive? @@novelbin@@
Baili Jinghua thought of Baili Xihong’s father, and her expression turned cold. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint, mocking smile as she said, “I don’t know. He thinks we’re dead.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at her friend and did not know how to comfort her. “You guys must’ve experienced some terrible things. Did his father bring his people to town?
Baili Jinghua shook her head. “No, it’s that person’s confidant. His confidant transported goods and stopped at the dock. He’s staying in town for a day.”
Su Binglan held Baili Jinghua’s hand and said, “Don’t think about that anymore. Rest at home tomorrow and keep Xihong company.”
“Yeah, I think so too.” Baili Jinghua seemed to have thought of something and said, “By the way, when I went to the Blue Mountain Academy, I heard from Mr. Kong that you want to open a cafeteria?
“Yes, setting up a cafeteria would be much more convenient for the students to eat. They can eat clean food without spending much money.”
Baili Jinghua played with the rope in her hand and said, “Binglan, your idea is perfect. It can genuinely help a lot of people. Soon, the students will be able to eat good food.
“It’s especially good since Xihong and the others are studying at the academy. Sometimes I’m too busy and can’t deliver food. Most of the time, Luo Jin’an takes the three children out for meals. I don’t even know how to thank you two.”
Su Binglan replied, “We’re just taking care of them. Even if Jin’an didn’t bring them out for a meal, I would have arranged for someone to send them food.
You don’t have to worry about these things.”
“Indeed, Xihong has been eating well. He likes to talk and smile now. He’s much better than before.” Even Baili Jinghua felt she had returned to her original self, let alone her son.
The two arrived at the village while talking. Then Bailing Jinghua brought her son home, while Su Binglan returned home.
Su Binglan still had many things to do. She would give consultations tomorrow and needed to prepare medicinal herbs with Su Wenxiu.
The siblings packed each type of medicinal herb in small bags with the herbs’ names written on them. Afterward, they planned to place the bagged herbs in the place where they treated patients.
Su Wenxiu was highly familiar with packing as he wrapped the herbs swiftly.
Ads by Pubfuture “These herbs,” Su Binglan said, “Pack them into small bags according to this ratio. They’re for fever and headaches. Also, wrap those herbs together. Those are for stomach problems. Those over there are for coughs and…”
Su Wenxiu was flabbergasted. He asked, “Little Sister, must I wrap these medicines up? What if no one has a headache or fever tomorrow?”
Su Binglan knew that doctors of this era would first take a patient’s pulse and then prescribe medicine according to each person’s specific condition. They typically did not prepare medicinal herbs in advance.
She explained patiently, “These are common illnesses, especially when the weather is cold. Catching a cold, a fever, and a headache is typical. These are regular medicine. You can prepare them in advance and provide them directly. When I have time, I’ll teach you how to concoct medicinal ingredients.”
Su Wenxiu listened attentively and asked in confusion, “Concoct medicinal ingredients?”
Su Binglan continued to wrap the herbs as she explained, “It’s to make medicinal herbs into pills and put them in small bottles. Then you won’t have to boil the medicine and taste its bitterness. One pill with water is equivalent to drinking a cup of bitter herbs.”
“P-Pills?” Su Wenxiu was amazed. Still, he knew his sister could do the things she said. “Sister, teach me how to make this kind of medicine.”
“Okay, you should study medicine first. You should also look at the medical skills I’ve taught you these past few days.” Su Binglan knew she still had a lot of things to do.
She wanted to open a medical school and a pharmacy for her second brother in the future. Having a pharmacy nearby would make it more convenient for many people.
Then they would not have to line up for consultations. If they had any daily problems, they could go to the pharmacy and talk to the nursing staff, and the staff would give them corresponding medicine based on their symptoms.
Since some villages were more remote, the villagers could not access doctors easily. Moreover, there were too few doctors in this era.
Without a specialized school, many doctors did not teach their medical skills to outsiders and would only pass them on to their descendants or maybe only one apprentice. However, those doctors’ medical skills might not even be good.
Meanwhile, those with excellent medical skills had either gone to the palace to be imperial physicians or lived in seclusion.
If there was a pharmacy, those who only knew pharmacology but did not know how to do full checkups could look after the store. Also, if the villagers had an emergency, they could buy medicine for emergency treatment.
Still, one could not achieve these things overnight. One would have to start a business and make money first. After all, one could only do more things when one had a large amount of money.
Su Binglan busied herself until late in the evening. She told her family about the cafeteria during dinner.
“Father, Mother, I’m considering letting Luo Kang and his family care for the cafeteria at the academy..”

Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan had been helping out at the tofu factory. However, Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju made meatballs the hotpot restaurant needed in a separate room at the factory.
If Su Binglan arranged for Luo Juan to stick with her parents, she would have to hire someone else to make the meatballs. Su Binglan needed to arrange these things but could not do everything herself. Instead, she could leave some work for her parents.
Shen Qiuhua said while eating, “You can handle your things, Binglan. Your father and I will handle the factory. Besides, you promoted Liu Qiao to a manager, and she’s capable enough. She’s helping me manage the factory, so I’m much more relaxed. If I promote someone else, they can handle it too.”
“That’s right, my dear daughter,” Su Fengmao added, “What you’re going to do soon must be important, so you can do whatever is necessary.”
The Su family would always support Su Binglan, no matter what she did.
“Little Sister, why did you suddenly think of setting up a cafeteria at the academy?” Su Wenzhe asked curiously.
Su Wenwu also knew about Blue Mountain Academy. He was eating with his head lowered. When he heard his sister’s words, he felt doubtful. He raised his head and asked, “That’s right, Little Sister. Doesn’t Blue Mountain Academy have strict rules?
“Can you set up a cafeteria there? Moreover, most people there are students.
Do they have money to buy food?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and then explained, “We’re not setting up a cafeteria at the academy to make money. I only want to make food more accessible to the students there.
“We’ll make the food there cheap and affordable. We only need to earn enough to cover our capital. That way, many students can eat proper food. We can also sell steamed buns and charge half a copper coin each. The food must be on the cheaper side. That way, everyone can afford to eat.
Even Liu Yinyin was amazed. “Binglan, this way, the students will no longer have to worry about being unable to afford their meals.”
Most students who could attend the academy were from well-to-do families, so they could afford to pay one or two silver taels a month. However, if they went out to buy food daily, one meal would cost a few copper coins, adding up to hundreds of coins a month.
If they could save these few hundred coins, they would be enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for several months.
Shen Qiuhua finally understood what her daughter wanted to do. She said thoughtfully, “I support you, Binglan. So, go do what you want to.”
Su Fengmao nodded. “That’s right. You’re doing a good deed) so I’ll support you too.”
The Su family felt gratified whenever they could do good.
“It’s a good thing the security at the academy is strict,” Su Wenwu said, “Outsiders usually can’t enter without permission. Otherwise, everyone in town would go to the cafeteria to eat if they knew the food there was cheap and delicious.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an understood his wife’s expression and said, “Blue Mountain Academy is stringent. Only the academy’s principal, teachers, students, and managers can eat at the cafeteria. Those not from the academy can’t buy food from the cafeteria. ” @@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture “That would be best.” Su Wenwu nodded.
After dinner, Su Binglan went to Qiu He’s courtyard.
Luo Kang and Qiu He had already finished their meal. When they saw Su Binglan, they quickly got off the brick bed and went to the door, respectfully greeting the young lady, “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan waved. “I don’t have many rules here. Please, continue with what you were doing. I’m here to arrange for you to do another job.”
“Of course, we’ll listen to you, Miss Su, but what will we do?” Luo Kang asked. His family had been here for a long time, so they knew how good the Su family was and that Su Binglan was kind to everyone.
They were grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to work hard with her.
“You should be familiar with Blue Mountain Academy,” Su Binglan said, “I’m planning to set up a cafeteria there. I’ll arrange for you to be in charge, including buying ingredients, cooking, and getting food for the students.
“For now, only you three will do these things. When things are on the right track, you can hire more help.”
The trio was dumbfounded. The family never thought they would never go to Blue Mountain Academy. After all, it was the most famous academy of this generation.
The academy atmosphere was full of knowledge and the fragrance of books. Others could not enter even if they wanted to, but they could go in only to do work.
Although Su Binglan only mentioned opening a cafeteria, the trio was ecstatic. Qiu He suppressed her excitement and said, “Miss Su, what are we going to buy, and what will we do at the academy? What about the price?”
She was excited but still caught the main point.
“Tonight, I’ll teach you how to cook a few simple foods and meat dishes,” Su Binglan said, “I want the food at the cafeteria to be simple and cheap. It doesn’t need to be too complicated, so we’ll make home-cooked dishes. You can even make noodles sometimes.”
Su Binglan told Luo Kang and his family everything about the cafeteria. Then she went to get some ingredients and began to teach the trio how to cook.
Meanwhile, Lin Zheng and Li Shi went to work at the dessert shop after Su Binglan arranged for Zhou Shan to learn how to do things at the hotpot restaurant.
Lin Zheng and Li Shi were preparing to close the shop in the evening when Lin
Zheng asked, “It’s your break day tomorrow, right?”
“That’s right, Lin Zheng,” Li Shi said with a simple and honest smile. “But Zhou Shan has gone to the hotpot restaurant now. Why don’t I come in tomorrow and help out?”
Lin Zheng said, “Master said we should take turns resting. Tomorrow is your day off, so you should take it.” Then he hesitated before continuing, “Let’s go back to the village first.”
After all, he knew about Li Shi’s situation. Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan were cut from the same cloth and had given up on themselves back then, so they became gangsters.
However, the trio met Su Binglan, and she set them straight. Afterward, the trio was on the right path.
The trio was scorned and looked down on in the past. Now, the trio would no longer experience that. Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan could walk with their backs straight and heads high.
In the past, even when Li Shi was resting, he would sleep in the dormitory in the backyard. He never returned to the village.
Su Binglan had given him wages and bonuses, but he had saved the rest aside from eating.
“Thank you, Brother Lin Zheng.”
Lin Zheng patted Li Shi’s shoulder and said, “We’re like brothers, so there’s no need to thank me. Master wants you to live a good life too. Stop competing with yourself, Li Shi.”
Lin Zheng had also competed with himself, but after experiencing many things and meeting many people, he began to understand certain principles.
“I understand, but I just can’t get over a hurdle in my heart,” Li Shi said..

Li Shi felt terrible when he said that. His parents were still alive, but he felt he had no parents or relatives. He was the second oldest, with an older brother and a younger one.
Li Shi’s father liked his oldest son, his mother liked his younger brother, and Li Shi was the least popular sibling. His parents usually never left him good food, so he was always the one who went hungry.
Whenever his brothers got into trouble, he would be the one who took the blame. His parents only believed what his siblings said, not him. He had gotten beaten up the most since he was a child.
Li Shi felt envious whenever he saw his parents pampering his siblings. His parents would not acknowledge him, no matter what he did or how he acted. Instead, they felt he was incompetent.
It felt highly unpleasant, but he did not overthink it back then. He just took it as his parents being biased. Nonetheless, something happened that made him realize his parents did not like him. Or rather, they did not treat him as their son.
During winter, his two brothers had cotton-padded clothes, but he did not. He only had thin clothes to wear and shivered from the cold. One autumn, he and his eldest brother fell sick with a fever.
Li Shi’s parents looked at their money and only wanted to save his eldest brother. Later, Li Shi dealt with his fever on his own and survived.
Another time, he went to the back mountain with his younger brother to cut wood, and they met a wild boar. Li Shi got severely injured to protect his little brother. However, his younger brother said something that caused a misunderstanding.
Immediately after, Li Shi’s parents beat him, saying he did not know how to protect his younger brother and almost killed him instead. That night, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound as his parents beat him.
He could only cry under his blanket in the middle of the night. He thought of dying that night but had hatred in his heart. Later, his parents grew more accustomed to beating him, so he ran away. @@novelbin@@
He no longer allowed his parents to beat him for no reason. Li Shi felt hatred and never returned for the past few years.
Their village was quite far from town. Li Shi remembered that his family was impoverished and often did not have enough to eat. His parents would not come back to town either.
He did not know how his parents were doing since he had never returned. He did not even know what had become of them.
Ads by Pubfuture Lin Zheng said, “Let’s go back and take a look. I know you have a knot in your heart. It may go away after we check on how things are now. No matter what happens, let them know that you’re a promising person. Let them know they’ve mistreated you.”
Li Shi hesitated for a long time, but he still nodded. He was only returning to look on from a distance before leaving again.
He was usually reluctant to spend money or buy anything, but he brought some things back to the village this time.
His parents live in Northern Song Village, located very far from town. Li Shi walked quickly for two hours and only returned to Northern Song Village when it was dark.
“Woof! Woof!
There were still a few households in the village with their lights on, and barking dogs echoed throughout the village. It made Li Shi recall some of his childhood memories.
When she was young, she always heard the sounds of barking dogs whenever he walked around the village at night. When one dog started barking, the rest would follow suit.
When Li Shi was a child, he feared a dog not tied properly would run out and bite him. Sometimes, when his parents beat him and he ran away in the middle of the night, he would no longer be afraid of dogs, even when they were barking.
Li Shi carried his oil lamp and arrived at the house door. The thatched house he remembered had gotten renovated into a stone house, which was more spacious than before.
He stood at the open door for a long time, wanting to knock, but he did not move. After a while, someone came to the door to close it. It was Li Shi’s younger brother, Li Liang.
Li Liang looked at Li Shi in a daze. Then he exclaimed, “Ah! A ghost!”
A woman emerged from inside and scolded, “Why are you screaming?! I told you to close the door! What’s with the yelling?!”
Li Liang cowered and said, “I-I’ll close the door now, my dear wife.”
It was evident he was afraid of his wife.
Li Shi’s expression changed as he held the door open, saying, “Little Brother, where are father and mother?”
Ads by Pubfuture The woman inside heard the noise at the door and rushed out. She pointed at Li Shi and said, “Li Liang, who is this?”
“He’s my second brother,” Li Liang replied.
“Isn’t your second brother dead? Who would dare to impersonate him? Your parents have already given us this land, so don’t even consider getting it from us. Those two old farts only know how to be biased.”
The woman looked at Li Shi and said sharply, “Since you’re already dead, why did you return? Don’t tell me you’re thinking about the things at home.” Li Shi looked at the mean woman and then at Li Liang. He could not believe what had happened to his family since he left a few years ago. His younger brother was married to a horrible woman.
Even though Li Shi had something against his parents, the anger in his heart surged when he heard others speak of his parents like that.
“Who did you say is an old fart? Do you dare to repeat yourself?!” Li Shi clenched his fists.
The woman said, arms akimbo, “What? Do you want to hit me? Go on and try. I’m telling you, this is my house. Leave now! You better watch it, or I’ll get someone to beat you up.”
The woman looked at Li Liang, who was not moving, and pulled his ear. “Don’t you see that someone is bullying me? What are you doing standing there?!” Li Shi looked at the woman and was stunned. ‘What a shrew!’
He had never seen a woman behave so terribly before. However, Li Liang used to be dishonest and selfish and bullied Li Shi a lot. But now that the woman was controlling him, he dared not move.
Li Shi revealed a mocking smile, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. There were shouts and curses from behind, but Li Shi headed straight to Li Zheng’s house.
Li Zheng noticed that Li Shi had returned and was thrilled. “Li Shi, I didn’t think you’d still be alive. Someone in the village said they saw you in town, but no one believed them.
“Your parents never believed you were dead and kept saying you’d return. They even left you a piece of land and said they’d build you a house. Your eldest brother’s and third brother’s families have tormented your parents for that piece of land.”
Li Shi could not believe what he had heard. “Grandpa Li Zheng, my parents…
They won’t care whether I’m dead or alive.”
“What nonsense are you spewing? What parent won’t care about their child’s
life? Do you still hate your parents for beating you?” Li Zheng rebuked. Li Zheng said that because he discovered some things later on.
Li Shi remained silent.
Li Zheng sighed. “Your parents know they were wrong. They shouldn’t have treated you like that. They were upset and in pain when they heard you were dead. Don’t blame them, child. They were suffering too..”

“I just returned to check on things, Granduncle Li Zheng. Please pass these things to my parents but don’t tell them I gave them to you,” Li Shi said, “My mother birthed me and raised me alongside my father, so I should give them these things.”
Li Zheng was shocked when he heard Li Shi’s words and saw the things he was holding. They were good things that were not cheap. He quickly pulled Li Shi back and said, “Don’t leave yet, Li Shi. You can blame your parents, especially since they have a reason for what they did.”
Li Zheng was also thinking about the villages.
‘Li Shi’s parents and siblings were terrible to him, but only Li Shi turned out fine. I thought Li Shi was dead, but there’s hope for his parents now that I know he’s alive. I must untie the knot in this child’s heart.’
Li Shi stopped in his tracks. “What reason could there possibly be for my parents to beat me and treat me so poorly, Granduncle Li Zheng?”
Li Shi was full of resentment and hatred. Just as Lin Zheng had said—there was a knot in Li Shi’s heart. However, Li Shi did not care about that since he had only returned to see what had become of his so-called family.
He had saved money and planned to build a house in Zhou Shan’s village before getting married and settling down. Li Shi would have children and would undoubtedly treat them well.
He knew he must not be like his parents because he knew how terrible it felt when they treated him horribly. He always felt like a floating leaf, unable to find a home. That was why he wanted to have a family of his own.
If he worked hard with Su Binglan and saved money, he could build a big house, get a wife, and have children. Still, he felt inferior and was worried that others would scorn him for not having parents or relatives.
He had always felt like that due to his childhood experiences. So, he returned to Northern Song Village to know why his parents were so biased and treated him so poorly.
‘What did I do wrong?’ Li Shi’s eyes reddened as he looked at Li Zheng. Li Shi’s hands clenched into fists when he thought about it, trying his best to control his emotions.
“Sit down first, and let’s talk.” Li Zheng sighed. After persuading Li Shi to sit, he continued, “Your parents don’t have it easy either. Did you know you had a younger sister?”
Ads by Pubfuture “I-I had a younger sister?” Li Shi was stunned.
‘My parents only had three sons. When did they have a daughter? I never had a sister.’
Seeing Li Shi’s confused expression, Li Zheng continued to explain, “You were three years old, your little brother was just one, and your mother was pregnant with another child. The doctor said it was a girl.
“Your parents were thrilled. They already had three sons and wanted a daughter. Your family had always consisted of three boys, but your grandparents also wanted a granddaughter.
“Your grandparents’ attitude toward your mother changed when they heard she would have a daughter. They started treating her better. However, your mother had a miscarriage because of you. @@novelbin@@
“From then on, your grandparents constantly pestered your mother and caused her to develop mental health issues, while your grandparents hated your father.
“After that, your grandparents decided to split up your family. When your parents separated, they didn’t receive a single cent from your grandparents, not even land.
“I intervened and asked your grandparents to give your parents at least one acre of land. Don’t hate your parents, Li Shi. They also have bitterness in their hearts, so sometimes they can’t help but lash out.”
Li Shi could not believe what he had heard. He only remembered the bad things his parents did to him and the times they had hit him. He could not remember anything else from his childhood.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he had a vague impression. At that time, his mother would kneel in the courtyard on a cold day, and his grandmother seemed to scold his mother often.
After that, the family no longer lived with the older couple, and Li Shi’s mother developed some mental issues.
“No, how could I have caused my sister’s death? I couldn’t have.”
Li Zheng sighed. “You might not remember. You played by the river when you were three and accidentally fell in. Your mother was still pregnant then and reacted instinctively.
“She went straight into the water to save you. That’s why she got hurt and even lost your sister. See? How can you say that your mother never cared about you?
Ads by Pubfuture “She could have gone to the village to ask for help, but you would’ve drowned before help arrived. Your mother was aware of the dangers but still instinctively protected you.
“Your mother was distraught and blamed herself. However, she thought she should feel sorry for her unborn daughter if she was good to you. She was in a bad state of mind and could not accept what had happened.”
“Also, your father grew up as your grandparents’ favorite, so he was inevitably affected. Don’t blame your parents, Li Shi.”
Li Shi kept shaking his head as he listened. “How could that be?”
He did not want to believe it. ‘If that was the case, my parents must have felt tormented. I-I should blame me. I could’ve had a sister.’
Lin Zheng sighed. “I would never lie to you, Li Shi. You can ask the elders in the village if you don’t believe me. Everyone knows this story.”
Li Shi’s eyes started to sting. After a long time, he finally adjusted his emotions and said with a choked voice, “Thank you for telling me this, Granduncle Li Zheng.”
“Your parents felt terrible when everyone said you had died. Your mother isn’t doing well, so you should go and see your parents.”
Li Shi could not bear to hear this. He had blamed his parents, but he could not accept this news. “M-My mother is still okay. How could there be a problem?
“Your mother’s mental problems worsened when she heard you were dead. She was about to break down. She also helped your brothers get married and settle down.
“However, your two sisters-in-law are tough to handle. No matter how angry your mother is toward them, she can’t handle it.”
Li Shi could not care about anything else when he heard that. “Granduncle Li Zheng, please, take me to see my parents.”
“All right, I’ll take you there now.” Li Zheng brought Li Shi to a thatched house at the back of the village. It was barely even a house that could shelter them from the elements. “Your parents live here.”
“Cough, cough.” Coughs sounded from inside the house. It was Li Shi’s mother’s voice.
Li Shi’s heart tightened when he heard his mother’s voice. Lin Zheng patted Li Shi’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go in.”
Li Shi took a deep breath, then carried his things and entered.
Li Shi’s mother heard the noise at the door and shivered in fear.. She told Li Shi’s father, “Don’t tell me Li Liang’s wife is here again?

“Why don’t you give that plot of land to our youngest son already?” Mr. Li suggested. “Then his wife will stop bothering us.”
“No! That plot of land is for Li Shi,” Mrs. Li said, choking with sobs. @@novelbin@@
“But Li Shi is dead,” Mr. Li said lowly.
Mrs. Li started to cry. “It’s all my fault. If we had treated Li Shi better, he wouldn’t have died. Oh, my little Li Shi. He couldn’t have died. Didn’t the villages see him in town once? Let’s go there and look for him.”
She sobbed as she spoke. She seemed to have thought of something and started to cry even more sadly. “Li Shi must hate us if he’s alive but refuses to return. It’s all your mother’s fault, Li Shi. If it weren’t for me, would we end up like
Mr. Li did not know what to say to his wife. He could only say, “You’re not in good health. You can’t get angry and can’t cry. The doctor said that your eyes
are… ”
Mrs. Li started coughing again. “It’s good if I die. Then I can see Li Shi again. I know he’ll forgive me.” Her eyes were red and full of tears as she spoke.
The thatched house the couple lived in was old and often leaked from the roof. The couple was also wearing thin clothes during the frigid weather.
Li Shi heard his parents’ conversation when he entered the house. He felt bitterness in his heart as tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably. Deep down in his heart, he yearned for familial and parental love.
However, he dared not think of such things because of his past experiences. He felt terrible when he saw his parents in such a state.
Li Zheng sighed and walked in. “Li Shi didn’t die. He’s back to see you guys.”
Li Shi’s parents thought they were hallucinating when they heard what Li Zheng said. The couple was astonished.
Ads by Pubfuture Li Shi adjusted his emotions and walked in. The moment Mr. Li saw Li Shi, his entire body trembled. “L-Li Shi?!”
Mr. Li was so excited that his hands trembled as he tried to touch Li Shi. However, Li Shi dodged his father’s hand out of a conditioned reflex.
Mr. Li recalled the past when he saw his second son’s expression. He pulled his hand back, and his eyes hurt. Still, he could not blame his second son and was happy that Li Shi was willing to return.
Mrs. Li was even more excited but could hardly see. Her eyes were blurry because she kept crying. She could only reach out to touch Li Shi excitedly.
Li Shi could not help but want to step back, but seeing his mother’s state, he forced himself to stand still and let her touch him. Still, his body trembled slightly. It was an instinctive reaction of his body because of the past.
‘IL-Li Shi, my second son. Sob, sob. I’ve let you down, my son.” Mrs. Li slapped herself.
Li Shi raised his hand to stop his mother. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Mother, stop. I don’t blame you.”
Li Shi remembered some things from childhood when he walked over from Li Zheng’s house. He understood them.
Tears gushed from Mrs. Li’s eyes again when she heard Li Shi calling her “mother.” Then she anxiously asked Li Shi to sit on the bed. Since the couple lived in a thatched house built by only two people, they had no brick bed but a wooden one.
Li Shi felt terrible, looking at the environment his parents living environment.
That night, Mr. and Mrs. Li were so excited that they pulled Li Shi aside and talked his ear off. Li Shi did not speak much but listened attentively.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan was unaware of what Li Shi was up to since she was in Su Teng Village. She taught Qiu He and the others how to make home-cooked food until midnight. Of course, she had to make a lot of food on the spot when teaching them how to cook.
They could not finish the food they had made, so Su Binglan could only take some to the main hall. Her parents were still awake, packing the rapeseed she had collected while Su Wenzhe and the others helped.
“Father, Mother, why aren’t you guys asleep yet?” Su Binglan asked.
Shen Qiuhua was busy putting the rapeseed in the tank into a sack and said,
Ads by Pubfuture “We need to pack the rapeseed. Your father and I will drive the oxcart to Northern Song Village for oil tomorrow morning.”
Su Binglan was unfamiliar with Northern Song Village and asked, “Where is it?”
“It’s very far, several villages away. Walking usually takes more than an hour but less with an oxcart.”
Su Binglan guessed it would still take an hour to get to Northern Song Village by oxcart. It was very far, after all.
“Is there no other place around us to get oil?”
Su Fengmao shook his head. “No, only Northern Song Village has a family that supplies oil. Only some people can do this kind of work. It also requires some mechanical things.”
After some thought, Su Wenxiu said, “By the way, when I was away for a long time, I heard that the Gongsun family built the machinery used to pump oil. They used to sell them, but there’s no one left in the Gongsun family, and this thing has probably gotten lost.”
Su Wenxiu looked regretful as he spoke.
Su Wenwu added, “The Gongsun family specialized in mechanisms, but the higher-ups exterminated them. It was a tragic event where everyone got killed.”
Shen Qiuhua patted Su Wenwu’s head. “Why are you talking about this so late at night?”
“I only heard stories. I don’t know the details.”
“We commoners should just live good lives,” Shen Qiuhua said thoughtfully, “Don’t bother about other things or ask about them.”
Su Fengmao agreed, “Your mother is right. It’s so dangerous out there. Didn’t you hear from the people who come and buy our tofu products? They sav it’s chaotic in the north and south. Only Dingzhou is relatively stable.”
Su Binglan could not help but look at Luo Jin’an when she heard that. However, she did not expect him to look back at her. The two locked eyes, and Su Binglan felt like she had gotten electrocuted. The electric current seemed to pass through her eyes to the tip of her heart.
Luo Jin’an looked conflicted because he remembered his wife talking about mechanisms before. He had once guessed she was related to the Gongsun family. Later, he realized he was mistaken.
Su Binglan thought of something, ‘It turns out the Gongsun family specializes in mechanisms. No wonder Jin’an got agitated and wildly coughed when I mentioned the art of engineering.’
It was strange that she remembered everything she had said to her husband.
Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “It’s already late, so don’t work too hard. I’ve made a lot of dishes. Let’s have them for supper.”
Su Wenwu had just placed a sack of rapeseed on the back of the oxcart, and when he heard those words, he suddenly became energetic. “No wonder it smelled so good just now. I thought it might be because I was hungry, but you’ve made food..”

Su Wenwu walked over and saw a large food tray behind Su Binglan. Su Wenwu was shocked. “There are so many dishes!”
Su Wenxiu became excited. “I’ve already had dinner but am hungry again now.”
Su Wenzhe had also become a foodie. He went over to take a look, saying, “What’s all his, Little Sister?”
The family had tasted those home-cooked dishes before, but Su Wenzhe had no idea what was on one of the plates. Many mixed wild vegetables were on it.
“That’s a vegetable pancake,” Su Binglan explained, “The pancake Qiu He and the others made were a little tough. It would get soft after steaming, but I thought of a way to make vegetable pancakes.
“I added some wild vegetables and salt, then cut the pancake into small pieces and stir-fried them to make this. It should taste good. You should all try it, Big Brother.”
Su Wenzhe and the others were smiling. Of course, they were happy to try fresh food. They had already placed the rapeseed into sacks and loaded them onto the oxcart.
Su Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s a lot of stuff on the cart, so there’s no need to load more goods tomorrow morning. We can just drive the oxcart to get oil.
“It’s still our most convenient way to transport things. We used to push a small cart to send our peanuts to get oil.”
In the past, the family could only rely on pushing a small cart when they did not have an oxcart. Indeed, it was tiring, but it became more convenient for the family to store things now that they had an oxcart.

“Mother, didn’t I tell you I wanted Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan to be in charge of the cafeteria at Blue Mountain Academy?” Su Binglan asked smilingly.
After pausing, she continued, “They don’t know much about cooking, so I taught them how to make home-cooked dishes. The dishes I taught them are simple so the students can have hot food. You guys have tried these dishes before, but try this vegetable pancake.”
Su Fengmao patted the dust off his body, went to wash his hands, wiped them, and quickly came over. “Your cooking is always delicious, my dear daughter.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Wenzhe and the others hurrying to eat and said, “Go and wash your hands first.” Then she looked at Luo Jin’an beside her. “Jin’an, you can eat first.”
Although the family was always reluctant to let Luo Jin’an do any work, he would always silently help.
Shen Qiuhua felt a little apologetic. However, she and Su Fengmao always thought their son-in-law was terrific. So, whenever there was something delicious to eat, Shen Qiuhua would prioritize Luo Jin’an.
“That’s okay, Mother and Father-in-law. You can eat first,” Luo Jin’an insisted. @@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua was about to say something when her daughter interjected, “You can eat first, Mother. I already kept a portion aside for Jin’an.”
Then she passed the vegetable pancake she held to her husband as she continued, “This is for you.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the loving couple and could not stop smiling. “Jin’an must be tired, Binglan. Take him to your room to rest.”
Su Binglan nodded. “All right then. Father, Mother, we’ll go back to rest in our room.

Su Binglan gave the vegetable pancake to her husband when they returned to their room. She said, “It’s still hot. I added salt, but it should still taste good.
Try it.’
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and smiled elegantly. He took the plate and used his chopsticks to pick some of the food up for his wife. “You’ve been busy the whole night and must be hungry. You should eat too.”
Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw her husband’s actions.
‘He’s always so attentive. My family members might overlook this, but I know.’ She opened her mouth and took a bite. Then she said, “All right, you have some too.”
Luo Jin’an ate with the chopsticks while Su Binglan looked around and realized they used the same pair. Then Luo Jin’an said, “I’ve already arranged for someone to renovate the shed. It’ll be easier to cook if there was a kitchen there.”
Since Su Binglan already knew Luo Jin’an’s true identity, there were things he no longer needed to hide from her. Now, he could openly help her with many things.
Luo Jin’an’s words startled Su Binglan. She said, “You should have many things to do, so you won’t have to worry about these things. I can arrange for people to do the renovation.”
“But Zhengde is already building a house elsewhere with his team, ” Luo Jin’an said, “Xueye is busy with the embroidery shop. They won’t have time to renovate the shed at the academy. You’ll have to find someone else to handle it.”
After a pause, he looked at his wife thoughtfully and continued, “I also hope to help you so you can relax a little.
Su Binglan had always protected Luo Jin’an in the past, so he wanted to be able to protect her in the future. His words were quite pleasant for Su Binglan to hear. She felt touched as she listened.

She said thoughtfully, “But you’re not in good health, and I don’t want you to tire yourself out.”
“I’ll be okay with you here.” Luo Jin’an’s eyes were full of trust as he looked at his wife.
It made Su Binglan very happy. “That’s right. You’ll feel better with me around.” Her lips curled into a smile.
She had been nursing her husband’s body the whole time. She often checked his pulse and found that his physical condition was much better and his cold poison would not reoccur.
Still, Luo Jin’an could not use his martial arts. One day, Su Binglan would help him regain his skills.
“Oh right, Wenwu told me he learned some moves from you but didn’t know if they’ll work.”
“I told him he’ll know it’ll work at a critical moment.”
The couple talked simply, and everyone in the house was happy and harmonious. After eating the vegetable pancake, the couple washed up and went to bed.
Since it was already very late, Su Binglan slept as soon as she lay down. Luo Jin’an heard her light breathing and turned around. He saw her sweet smile through the moonlight and helplessly shook his head.
‘Is she just going to trust me and sleep peacefully like this?’
After looking at Su Binglan for a while, he covered her with the blanket before lying down again. He could not sleep because he kept thinking about the Gongsun family. His heart grew heavy when Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu mentioned the Gongsun family that night.
Meanwhile, Su Wenzhe and the rest were still eating their vegetable pancakes.
“Ah, it’s so delicious.”
“I didn’t expect the pancakes to be so delicious.”
“These are the simplest ingredients, but Little Sister can make such a delicious dish. It smells so good too.”
Liu Yinyin sighed with emotion as she ate. “In the past, the food we made would harden the second time we steamed them. We didn’t know to fry them like this.”
Shen Qiuhua nodded while eating. “Indeed, this is delicious. Binglan also said you could add ham and eggs to it. I’ll make it for you guys next time..”
