Su Binglan looked at Lan Ruozhu and said persistently, "You know me, Brother. Nothing can stop me once I've decided something. Don't worry. I'm no longer the same person and can protect myself better. As you've witnessed, I know martial arts.'
Lan Ruozhu raised his brow. Indeed, his sister was much healthier and stronger than before, He felt at ease, especially when Su Binglan revealed her skills that shocked even the Shadow Guards.
Lan Ruobing was brilliant when she was younger but could not learn martial arts due to poor health. She also did not possess the medical skills she had as Su Binglan.
Lan Ruozhu felt bitter-sweet when his sister changed and became stronger. He knew she could protect herself better now. Although Su Binglan had excellent martial arts skills, Lan Ruozhu still wanted to assign some of the Shadow Guards to protect her.
Su Binglan realized her expression had become too severe, so she smiled lightly and said, "All right, Brother, you should relax too. You don't have to think about such things here. Just have fun, relax, and recuperate."
Although Lan Ruozhu was technically Su Binglan's older brother, she still wanted to protect him out of habit.
Su Teng Village's once-a-week market opened. Many vendors went there at dawn to occupy their stalls. The street in front of the village was long and spacious.
Even though it could accommodate many people, they knew the market's popularity. There would be no space for stalls if they were too late. Moreover, everyone realized that more people had started setting up stalls, so people would arrive early to reserve a spot for themselves.
Everyone wanted to occupy a good spot on the street. Even if they arrived at the village early, others would always be earlier than them. Therefore, the people who successfully claimed their spots were thrilled.
The market was full of stalls and items at dawn. Some sold food, some sold daily necessities, and others sold cloth and shoes. Since many people visited the market, these sellers could always do business.
Some sold their pre-loved items, and those who bought them would feel like they had found a treasure. Everyone was delighted, as both parties benefited from each other.
Ads by Pubfuture In the past, people would go to town to sell their food. Of course, selling things in town was less efficient, but it was different in Su Teng Village. Hence, the village's market only became increasingly popular.
In addition, more people visited the village to buy things if more people went there to set up their stalls. Everyone knew Su Teng Village's market was excellent, so they were more willing to visit, even though it was only once a week.
As a result, the market continuously grew as more people visited over the past few months. Many who came to set up stalls also brought lunch with them. They were prepared to eat casually at noon and would return home in the evening.
Although the town's market would disperse at noon, the market in Su Teng Village would remain crowded until evening. At this rate, everyone felt they could start a night market.
The vendors could only sigh in relief after occupying a good spot in the village, One of the young men who set up a stall wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, 1 arrived early enough to occupy this spot."
The young man had come from the distant Northern Mountain Village. He had set off before dawn and carried a bag with various items. He dared not rest along the way and started sweating, even though it was mid-winter.
"I just got a perfect spot, too. I arrived a little earlier than last time, but there were still so many people," the small stall owner beside the young man chimed in and could not help but sigh.
"l also arrived earlier than last time but still managed to get a spot. I brought many things with me this time. I hope to profit a little more." The woman beside them also sold items.
When she saw the young man take out a pair of shoes, she asked, "Where are those shoes from?"
The man said embarrassedly, "My mother and daughter-in-law made these shoes. Since they made a few more, I decided to sell some of them this time. 1 hope to sell them all for my family to have a good New Year."
The woman asked, "Why aren't your mother and daughter-in-law working at the embroidery shop? They would do well there since they know needlework."
The man replied, "My mother wasn't in good health, but if it weren't for the medicine Second Young Master Su prescribed, she could not have made these shoes. Still, I don't want her to tire herself out.
"Also, my wife is pregnant and can't leave home to work. Fortunately, Su Teng
Ads by Pubfuture Village's market is big, and I can do business here." The man often sold shoes at the market and could go home in less than an afternoon because he typically sold out by then.
Since he profited a lot, he could buy meat for his wife to eat and nourish herself.
"There's something good about being at home," the woman said in realization, "The whole family can see each other every day, and you can decide your own time.
"I'm selling small jars of pickled vegetables that I made at home. Although they aren't fresh, 1 thought outsiders might enjoy them, so I'm selling them here. My earnings are for my family at home, too."
The stall owner beside them could not help but chime in. "Everyone's lives have improved thanks to Miss Su and her family."
"You're right. Many outsiders come to Su Teng Village to buy things from them. The more visitors there are, the better it is for us to sell things here."
"l agree. Foreign merchants and visitors also know of our village's once-a-week market. Most of them use this time to buy the things they need."
However, some arrived at the village late and could not find a spot to set up their stalls even after walking around for a long while. One person was getting anxious when someone recognized him. "Mr. Cao, come over here. I'll move my stall aside and make some room for you."
The man surnamed Cao said gratefully, "Thank you very much, sir!"
"Aww, don't be so polite. I know your daughter, Cao Shuang. She saved my brother after the earthquake. My brother would have bled out if she hadn't bandaged him in time."
Cao Shuangs father never thought people here would recognize him for his daughter's good deeds. He never expected to bask in his daughter's glory. Fortunately, he did not have many things to sell, and he did not take up too much space.
He said, "My family made these sachets. Although they're small, I'm selling them to support my family. There are some herbs in them to help with sleeping. " @@novelbin@@
Cao Shuang had prepared these herbs. Of course, her teacher, Su Binglan, had permitted them.
The man beside Mr. Cao was surprised, "It's evident that your daughter made those. She's a promising young lady."
Mr. Cao grinned from ear to ear. "My wife and I hesitated when Miss Su wanted to take in female apprentices. However, my daughter insisted, so my wife let her become Miss Su l s apprentice.
"l didn't expect her to exceed my expectations. Now, I no longer have to travel far to visit a doctor if I feel ill..

Mr. Cao was prideful when he spoke about his daughter. He was glad he had sent his daughter to study medicine. Everyone became envious of his family.
Later, those who hesitated to send their daughters to study medicine became upset because others had already filled the available spots long ago. Moreover, everyone witnessed Cao Shuangs capabilities after the earthquake.
Everyone would recognize Mr. Cao wherever he went because they knew his daughter was a promising young lady. Mr. Cao became well-known because of his daughter's good deeds. The Caos could hold their heads high in the villages.
Sometimes, people would fall ill in the middle of the night and would call for
Cao Shuang. Since their village was far from Tenghe Town and Su Teng
Village, it was inconvenient for them to find a doctor in the middle of the
The adults would grow anxious if their children caught a cold or fever. Fortunately, Cao Shuang had learned medical skills and had some herbs at home to prescribe medicine to the sick.
Everyone in their village treated the Caos with respect.
Nir. Cao had never enjoyed such treatment before, but someone recognized him when he struggled to find a spot in Su Teng Village's market.
Ads by Pubfuture 'l wouldn't have found a spot to open my stall without my daughter.' Mr. Cao sighed inwardly.
Everyone else looked at him enviously. "He must be proud to have such a promising daughter. If we had known this earlier, we would've sent our daughters to study medicine."
"l wanted my daughter to study medicine, but she wasn't old enough. I hope she'll have another opportunity in a few years."
"That's right. Everyone was pedantic in the past. It's always good to learn essential skills like medicine. Plus, Miss Su and Second Young Master Su are such good people. They must only accept exceptionally hardworking students."
"l agree. My son is learning pottery in Miss Su' s workshop now. The bottle he made was gorgeous."
"Most people's children work for Miss Su. She provides excellent benefits, so why do you still set up a stall here?"
Everyone laughed. "We can't just let our children do all the work. As parents, we must also earn money to support our families."
"That's right."
"Still, there's less pressure at home now. Our children know how to work hard. They get paid monthly and even help grow more crops for us to harvest in spring next year."
"l heard Su Teng Village will have high-yield seeds in spring. We must buy some from them when the time comes.'
"Right! If you don't believe in anything else, believe in Miss Su. How many people would have died in the earthquake if it weren't for her?"
"Oh, Su Xueye and his construction team recently rebuilt our house with bricks.'
Ads by Pubfuture "Everyone is using bricks to repair their houses these days. The families who own the houses that survived the earthquake are now reinforcing other parts of their houses with bricks. However, the demand for bricks is too high now, so people have to wait to buy more."
"I considered selling some items to buy more braised meat for my children to eat at noon."
"Yes, you must buy those before they sell out."
"Last time, Old Madam Su said each family can only buy one serving of braised meat whenever the market opens. That way, everyone will have some."
"I'm planning to buy some tofu. I want to make stewed tofu with cabbage for my family."
Everyone spoke one after another, their faces full of brilliant smiles. However, some still could not find a spot to open their stalls. Hence, Chief Su had to come and clear a corner for them.
The market initially ran along one street, but it later expanded around the corner into another. Still, no one was worried about the location because many people visited the market.
Chief Su looked around the bustling market and said smilingly, "The market keeps expanding. I'll clear that road later for more people to set up their stalls.'
Chief Su l s wife added, "Binglan suggested handing out travel passes and dividing the street into sections. We can put food in one section, daily necessities in another, clothing over there, etcetera.
"That'll make it more convenient for people to buy things. If they need something specific, they can go to these sections to find them."
Chief Su nodded. "Yes, Binglan is as brilliant as always. That's an excellent idea. We'll implement those soon. Still, there are many more vendors and visitors this time than last week.'
His wife was delighted and said smilingly, "That shows how much livelier our village has become. Business is good, and everyone, including visitors, benefits from it.'

"You're right. It's good now that our village has become famous." Chief Su looked around the bustling market and felt a sense of accomplishment.
His wife thought of something and said, "Many people also order furniture from my eldest daughter-in-law when they visit."
Madam Zhou had opened a furniture store long ago. Her craftsmanship in her furniture was exquisite, and she made them more practical. Her chairs were soft, and everyone liked them.
She would be swamped whenever the market opened. That was because everyone used the market as an excuse to visit Su Teng Village.
They also thought it was more convenient to visit then because they could also buy daily necessities before going home. That way, they would not have to make two trips to the village.
Chief Su nodded. "Indeed. We're always busy whenever the market opens. You should go and help Madam Zhou."
His wife agreed, "Okay, I'll go and help her now. You should hurry home, too.
You don't want people to be looking for you, and you're not there, right?"
"l know." @@novelbin@@
Since he was the village's chief, people would look for him if they encountered problems at the market. Moreover, Chief Su handled things fairly and had everyone's respect.
More people came to the market after daybreak. Some came on foot, others came with small carts to carry things, and the rest entered on oxcarts. However, only a few had oxcarts.
Most who traveled via carriage were traveling merchants. They came to the market wanting to buy various things.
Although Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua often managed the tofu factory, they could walk around freely since they had a manager to run the place. The older couple had fun walking around and looking at things, even though they didn't buy anything.
Since the village had little entertainment, people looked forward to walking in the market.
Shen Qiuhua carried a basket along. She thought she would need it if she saw something she needed to buy. Su Fengmao accompanied her, and the couple strolled around. He would listen to whatever his wife said.
However, after walking around for a while, he said anxiously, "I'll go to the factory to check on things. Our customers are probably there collecting their goods. I'm worried the workers might get overwhelmed."
Shen Qiuhua nodded. "All right, you can go and help. I'll continue looking around. I might buy something for lunch if it looks good.."

Shen Qiuhua had learned to cook many different dishes from her daughter. She found pleasure in cooking for her family in different ways. She would feel happy whenever she saw her children enjoying her food.
Moreover, two more were people living with the family now. She saw how skinny Lan Ruozhu and Blue Eagle were and decided to nourish them.
Shen Qiuhua considered what to make for lunch as she carried her basket around when everyone greeted her. The small vendors also refused to charge her for the things she wanted to buy.
"These are my items, Miss Shen. You can take them if you like them. Don't worry-they don't cost much."
"Miss Shen, I carved these toys myself. You can give them to your grandchildren to play with."
Many vied to give Shen Qiuhua something. They were respectful and polite to her because they knew she was Su Binglan's mother.
Shen Qiuhua's heart felt warm, but she refused to take these things for free. She said, "I can't take these. I'll feel too embarrassed to come here next time if
I do."
She insisted on paying for what she bought instead of taking them for free. After all, the market only existed to make it more convenient for the Su Teng villagers to sell the things they made or no longer used.
It was even more convenient for people to leave their homes and buy what they needed just a few rows away from their houses. The Su Teng villagers rarely went to town to buy things. Instead, they waited for the market to open. That was because the Su Teng Market was much more lively than the one in town. In addition, Stone Village and Willow Village were neighbors to Su Teng Village, and the people there could enjoy the market's convenience.
People from these two villages would visit the market one after another after breakfast. Even people from far and wide came over. Those who worked in the embroidery shop and winery typically came to the market at noon to buy lunch for their families.
Some only came to walk around leisurely or visit their relatives. Many people liked visiting their Su Teng Village relatives. After seeing how well it developed, they wanted to build a relationship with the village.
Ads by Pubfuture If the Su family were to build another factory, these people wanted to be the first to attend the interviews as soon as they heard the news.
The market was bustling with chatter. Some would see familiar faces while shopping and would stop to chat. Most were old friends. After all, women who had gotten married came home less often at different times and rarely saw their childhood friends.
Everyone would look excited whenever they saw their old friends. They would pull each other to the side and catch up. They even agreed to meet and talk whenever they visited home.
Merchants from far and wide liked strolling around and feeling the lively atmosphere.
"Wow, Mother, this place is just as Father described it. It's so lively, unlike our village. "
"Your father came to collect his goods. We can stay for a few days. I'll take you to eat hotpot, too."
"Oh yeah, it's time to eat hotpot. What about the stinky tofu Father mentioned?" @@novelbin@@
"All right, we can also have that," the woman said smilingly.
"Madam, I never expected a small village like this to be so lively."
"Yeah, you're not the only one who thinks that. Everyone says the place King Lan Ruozhu lives is remote and desolate, but this place is prosperous. I can't help but want to buy a house and settle down here."
A little servant girl overheard the conversation and said excitedly, "I can eat delicious food more often if that's the case.'
The madam shook her head and chuckled. "It's not that simple. Our family's roots are back home. Still, thanks to the things here, our Master has earned a lot. "
When it was almost noon, more businessmen from other places visited. Many brought their families to shop and have fun. The embroidery shop would be extra busy whenever the market opened.
Even Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi's shop became popular as they started selling cured meats.
Ads by Pubfuture The couple prepared countless roast ducks, grilled chickens, and cured meats in advance but would always sell out by noon. Those who came to buy these things could not help but sigh and ask, "Could you prepare more next time, Mr. and Mrs. Fengchen?"
Su Fengchen felt somewhat helpless as he had already prepared as much as possible. However, his business's popularity only kept increasing.
Miao Zhizhi looked at him and said, "Why don't we learn from Binglan and build a factory to make our products?"
Many merchants wanted to order products from them because of the cold weather. After all, cured meats were easier to store and could last longer, making them suitable to order in batches.
After some thought, Su Fengchen nodded. "I agree, but we must buy more land before doing that. I'd prefer to build it near our house so it's more convenient to care for my parents simultaneously.
He was a dutiful son who naturally wanted to spend more time and accompany his parents. However, they would still be far away if he built a store or factory between the village and the town like Su Binglan.
That was why he felt it would be best if his store were closer to his house so his parents would not worry so much.
"There's a vast piece of land to the east of our house," Miao Zhizhi said, "We can buy it and build a store. Then we can hire plenty of workers to help us."
Su Binglan had given her many suggestions before, and Miao Zhizhi had learned much from her niece. Miao Zhizhi realized that building a store was not a problem for her husband and her.
Moreover, they would also give their workers wages and bonuses. It would help more villagers with their daily lives. It was also a more meaningful thing to do.
"Besides, we can also make and sell our grilled chicken and roast duck in the store. We can make many more things if we want."
The young couple had saved a lot of money, so they could buy land to build their store. Su Fengchen thought it was a perfect idea since Su Teng Village had many wide, open spaces and plenty of unused land.
In addition, Su Teng Village was well-connected, making it convenient for people from neighboring villages to visit.
Some even bought tofu directly at the factory's entrance. There was a long line outside, too. Previously, Su Binglan thought most visitors did not eat anything from morning till night since they spent much of their time at the market.
Therefore, she built a shed at the factory's entrance with tables and stools for everyone to sit and eat tofu pudding. Many foreigners would spend a few coins to buy tofu pudding at noon and eat it with dry food.
If they brought their own food, it would get cold by noon. Since eating cold food would not taste good, they broke their food into pieces and added them to their hot tofu pudding.
Of course, some vendors would put a stool and table in front of their stalls to sell stews and hot soup. Hot soup only cost two copper coins; many would buy a bowl..

The vendors also made soft and fragrant pancakes. Everyone would buy more after trying one. These vendors relied on themselves to innovate the food they cooked, resulting in an excellent profit.
These ordinary people were happy to sell their products in Su Teng Village.
Although they were always busy, business was good.
Many more people went to the market because it was off-season. They even brought their children along. Frugal people were also willing to buy delicious food for their children whenever they went to the market.
"How much is this fried dough twist?"
The vendor was happy to receive a customer and replied, "Only three coins for a pound."
The woman with a child thought it was pretty cheap. She said, "Give me a pound."
"All right, ma'am," the vendor eagerly weighed the fried dough twists and handed them to the woman.
The woman looked at the food and smiled. Then she broke off a small piece and gave it to her son. "Do you want some? You can eat some first, and then I'll buy you a bowl of tofu pudding later."
The little boy laughed when he heard his mother's words. He happily said, "l like tofu pudding."
Ads by Pubfuture The woman agreed. remember bringing you to have it once when we came here. You kept saying you wanted more. Don't worry. Your father is already lining up for it."
Many people were at the shed before the tofu factory when the mother and son arrived. The factory was so busy that they had to line up sometimes.
Previously, the woman and her family had gone to check it out, but many people were already waiting there. Since that was the case, the woman's husband joined the line while his wife and son went shopping.
After all, the family was at the market, and the children liked to have fun shopping. Therefore, the woman brought her son around the market while her husband waited in line.
The woman's family was more frugal than most and could not recklessly buy things whenever they came to the market. Most who visited would only be willing to spend a few coins as a budget. It helped them resist the urge to overbuy. @@novelbin@@
Hence, most only bought a bowl of tofu pudding. It made most feel included when going to the market.
The woman was only willing to spend a few coins but saw a sachet of herbs to calm her nerves as she walked around. When she heard Miss Su l s student had made it, she could not help but spend a coin to buy one.
"Mother, what's that?" The little boy was curious.
The woman explained, "There are medicinal herbs inside that can help me sleep. Your grandmother has always been unable to sleep well. If I buy this, she should be able to sleep well."
The little boy nodded. "We can also share the fried dough twists with Grandma.'
His grandmother was good to him, and he missed her.
When the woman heard her son's words, she could not help but smile and pat his head.
Ads by Pubfuture Older men and women also came to the market with their sons and daughters-in-law. They were shocked when they saw such a lively market. "This place wasn't this big in the past. How many years has it been since we last visited?"
The man explained, "l told you Su Teng Village's market is bigger than the town's. I'll bring you around to take a look. If you see something you like, we'll buy them for you."
The older lady smiled so widely that her eyes narrowed into slits. "Although you're working at the winery and receive excellent pay and bonuses, we must be careful and spend wisely to save money."
The family felt their burden had lightened since the man started working at the winery. He had a stable salary and plenty of bonuses, making it more relaxing for his family to plant more crops.
After all, one would only know how much they could harvest from spring to autumn. It was okay if the weather was good, but if it were too dry or a rainstorm occurred, it would damage the crops. Those were what all farmers feared.
However, they were no longer afraid and felt relieved instead. The man had a proper job and was willing to buy a pound of meat every month.
Meanwhile, the man's wife knew needlework. The family thought she should go for an interview if the embroidery shop needed more workers. The older couple was strong enough to help look after the children if the man and his wife worked.
The man said, "Mother, I know you and Father have worked hard to raise me.
Now, it's your turn to enjoy life. Let's buy more food for ourselves."
The older man said, "Your mother and I are old now, so we don't eat much. You should buy more for your wife and child instead."
The man's wife said, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, we can buy something for everyone. I'll bring you two to eat tofu pudding in a while. It's nutritious and good for digestion."
The younger couple were dutiful toward their elders, and the older couple was delighted.

The older lady became emotional when she saw so many people. "l remember coming to Su Teng Village's market when I was young. I lived with my mother then, which was close to this village. The market is several times bigger now."
The man quietly explained, "Mother, Su Teng Village is much different from back then. Many people from north and south visit this place to buy and sell things."
"That's right. I heard merchants even line up to order things from the embroidery shop." The younger woman had heard that from her good friend working at the embroidery shop.
The man nodded. "The Su family's tofu and stinky tofu are famous, too." When the older lady heard about the stinky tofu, she smiled and said, "Yes, I remember eating stinky tofu. You brought some home before. It was delicious.'
The older lady typically did not eat much but liked stinky tofu. When the man noticed his mother's happy expression, he smiled and said, "Mother, I'll buy you stinky tofu when we go to the factory later."
"Huh? I can't let you spend so much money."
The man added, "It's okay, Mother. It won't cost much, and it's cheaper if I buy it with my work pass."
Those who worked for the Su family could get discounts if they bought the family's products with their work passes. Initially, no one knew what a discount was, but they later learned that they could get things for much cheaper.
"Let's look around first and see if there's anything good," the older lady chuckled.
She also knew how to save money by planting and selling crops.
Her son nodded. "We can buy many cheap things since we're in Su Teng Market, Mother. Maybe we can get our daily necessities for much more reasonable prices here.
"Yes, let's stroll around." The older lady started walking when someone suddenly called her.
"Old Madam Zhou?"
The older lady did not hear it, but her son and daughter-in-law did. They turned to look, and one of them said, "Mother-in-law, I think someone is calling you."
Old Madam Zhou turned around. She felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the person, but she could not remember who they were for a moment. The other older lady asked, "Is that you, Old Madam Zhou? It's me, Wang
Lianhua.'
Old Madam Zhou became excited when she heard the older woman's name.. "Wang Lianhua? Is that really you?"

The two old ladies were neighbors who played together when they were young. Later, they got married and rarely saw each other. Moreover, their parents passed alway when the ladies got older.
They lived far from each other and had not seen each other for many years. Both of them did not expect to reunite after such a long time. They might not have met without going to Su Teng Market.
The duo was excited. "l never expected to see you here, Zhou."
"How have you been, Lianhua?"
Wang Lianhua said smilingly, "I've been well. My son is working at the hotpot restaurant in town these days. The Su family gives him many benefits. His monthly bonus and salary are excellent, too. My family is living quite well now.
"My daughter is still young, but she's learning embroidery. My daughter-in-law went to queue up to buy something, so I told her 1 would look around first. How have you been, Zhou?"
Old Madam Zhou immediately answered, "This is my daughter-in-law and grandson. My son works at the winery now, so our lives are good."
She did not need to tell the mother-son duo anything, and they introduced themselves. Old Madam Zhou's grandson asked, "Is this the lady you always talk about, Grandmother?"
"That's right. We were such good friends when we were young. I never expected to see her now that we're so old now." Old Madam Zhou was genuinely happy to see her childhood friend.
Wang Lianhua looked at the older man beside Old Madam Zhou and asked, he your husband?"
Ads by Pubfuture "Yes, he is. He doesn't talk much.'
Wang Lianhua greeted him with a smile, "Hello there."
The older man was embarrassed and scratched his head.
The two older ladies had endless things to discuss. They shared their current address and even said they wanted to walk around the market together.
Wang Lianhua said, "My bones and body have improved since my check-up at the Su family's residence and taking some medicine. Don't look down on me just because I'm old. I can still walk a few miles without a problem."
Old Madam Zhou sighed. "My legs used to hurt when it got cold, but they're better after 1 took the medicine Miss Su prescribed me. I no longer tremble when I walk."
The two friends were healthy, so they discussed how they should get together more often after returning to their villages.
Su Binglan brought Lan Ruozhu to the market. She first brought him to the tofu factory while Blue Eagle protected them from the shadows.
Since the brother and sister had only arrived in Su Teng Village late at night, they could not see much of the road. Lan Ruozhu did not even notice the factory. @@novelbin@@
However, they left the Su family's house in the morning, and the sky was bright. When he and his sister left the house and looked north, Lan Ruozhu saw the large factory with a plaque hanging on it.
There was also a shed full of people in front of the factory. The people had a bowl of white food before them, but Lan Ruozhu did not know what it was. He curiously looked at everyone's expressions and knew they were enjoying their food.
"So, those things must be delicious."
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, Su Binglan explained to him how she designed the factory and how everyone made tofu products inside. She did not hear Lan Ruozhu mutter as she spoke. Then she turned and saw his expression.
She followed his line of sight and saw people eating tofu pudding. "That's tofu pudding, Brother. Would you like to try some?" Su Binglan smiled. "I'll bring you over for a bowl."
"So, that's what it's called." Lan Ruozhu was eager to try it because he thought it was delicious after seeing everyone's expressions. "But we've already had breakfast.'
His breakfast was delicious, and he had eaten a lot, so his stomach was still full. Lan Ruozhu also found it strange as he had never had such delicious food in the past.
The kitchen staff at the mansion always prepared a pile of food for him, but he never had much of an appetite, so he would only eat a few mouthfuls. However, he enjoyed eating after coming to Su Teng Village.
Lan Ruozhu felt his appetite had improved and increased. He could eat more than twice as much as before.
Su Binglan could not help but laugh when she saw her brother's embarrassed expression. She had never seen him like this, even in her memories as Lan Ruobing. She felt dazed as if they had returned to their childhood.
"It's okay, Brother. A bowl of tofu pudding doesn't cost much and is easy to digest. It won't overfill your stomach."
Lan Ruozhu was relieved when he heard his sister's words.
Su Binglan saw him nodding and brought him to the factory. Meamvhile, Liu Qiao was busy scooping tofu pudding for everyone. She was the factory's manager, so she would be in charge whenever Shen Qiuhua was not around. Liu Qiao did not know much initially but slowly became familiar with her job after working there for a long time. She knew the ins and outs of the tofu factory.
She became happy when she saw Su Binglan approaching. "Hello, Miss Su."
Su Binglan nodded. "Don't tire yourself out too much, okay?"

Liu Qiao shook her head. "Oh, it's okay. I feel energetic."
She liked living in this village because it was lively and wealthy. Although the market was not like this in the past, things had changed for the better. Since she was on the morning shift today, she helped prepare the tofu pudding. Liu Qiao was delighted to see how much everyone enjoyed the tofu pudding.
"Give me two bowls." Su Binglan gestured with her fingers.
"Yes, Miss Su." Liu Qiao quickly scooped two bowls for her boss. Then she asked, "Do you want me to add chili for you, Miss Su?"
Su Binglan looked at Lan Ruozhu and said, "Let's play it safe for now and not add chili."
It was unsuitable for Lan Ruozhu to eat spicy food now, and Su Binglan did not know if Blue Eagle liked it. Blue Eagle had never eaten chili, so Su Binglan thought they should start with non-spicy ones.
Then she brought Lan Ruozhu into the factory and told Blue Eagle to come out from the shadows to follow them. The factory also had a stall for business with tables and chairs inside.
Lan Ruozhu and Blue Eagle sat there to eat their tofu pudding. Lan Ruozhu ate a spoonful, and his eyes lit up.
Su Binglan observed his expression and smiled lightly. "How is it, Brother?"
Lan Ruozhu nodded. "It's delicious! The food here is better than all the delicacies I've eaten. It's simple but tasty. Life here seems exceedingly relaxing, Sister."
He had slept comfortably last night as he was on a warm brick bed for the entire night.
Blue Eagle devoured his tofu pudding, saying, "I-It's too delicious, Princess."
He knew Su Binglan was Lan Ruobing and had grown accustomed to calling her "Princess.' Su Binglan reminded, "l)on't call me that. Just call me Miss Su."
"Yes, Miss Su."
After that, Su binglan brought Lan Ruozhu deeper into the factory. "Brother, this is where the workers wash the tofu, that's where they grind the beans, and here's where we complete the process.
"Everyone here is responsible for their own sections. That way, no one will know the entire tofu-making process. That's so we can keep our process a secret and not expose our methods.
"Also, the workers have already signed a contract and confidentiality agreement. No one can speak of what they do here.."

Lan Ruozhu always carefully listened to whatever his sister said. At the same time, he felt sorry for her. @@novelbin@@
'She's just as brilliant as before, or perhaps she knows more now. Since her health has improved, she can do more things.'
He turned to look at Su Binglan and noticed she happily smiled when discussing the tofu factory. For Lan Ruozhu, it was good that his sister was happy.
It was his first time seeing a factory like hers. His eyes were full of curiosity. 'So, this is how they make tofu.'
Su Binglan looked at her brother's expression and knew he found such things interesting. "I'll bring you to my uncle's cured meat stall later."
Lan Ruozhu raised his brows when he heard 'cured meat.' He asked, "Isn't that one of the things 1 ate last night?"
Su Binglan nodded and explained smilingly, "That's right. My Uncle Fengchen and Aunt Zhizhi were responsible for making them. We'll go there later to take a look. If you like their food, we can buy some."
Lan Ruozhu smiled shyly. "Indeed, it was pretty delicious."
He enjoyed eating, but as an older brother, he felt slightly shameful asking his sister for food.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan burst out laughing when she saw her brother acting so shyly. She thought he looked adorable as she said, "All right, I'll buy some for you. You don't have to be so shy with me, Brother."
She was the one who taught Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi to make cured meat, grilled chicken, and roast duck. The young couple followed her instructions to make cured meat but never expected their business to become so popular.
The demand for cured meats was much more significant than their grilled chicken and roast duck. That was because the price of cured meats was more affordable, and everyone could buy a little.
They would have to buy the whole grilled chicken and roast duck, so it was more expensive than cured meats, in their opinion. In addition, cured meat tasted excellent and went well with rice. Everyone would occasionally buy some to improve the food they ate.
The feelings between the siblings were indescribable. They felt like they could rely on each other. When Su Binglan reached her grandparents' houses, she saw the cured meat stall at the entrance.
The young couple had modeled it after the current stalls, making it much more convenient to open it in front of their house. A long queue was at the stall's entrance, and everyone was waiting to buy their cured meats.
Su Fengchen returned to his room to get a new batch of cured meat while his wife stood there to collect the money and serve everyone.
"I'll have two servings of your delicious duck, please. I'd like the non-spicy version, Ma'am."
"May I have another serving of pigs head meat?"
"l want six duck heads, but there aren't many left. I hope it doesn't sell out before I get to the front."
"l like eating their peanut side dish. It's cheap and goes well with my wine at home.'
"So many people are in front of us. I wonder if there will be more food if we're too late."
Ads by Pubfuture "You should be okay to get some. There is other food at the market if you can't."
"l didn't manage to buy any of Su Fengchen's food last time, so I'll buy more now."
"l only bought some the last time I came, and they sold out of pig's head meat. It tastes much better here than the ones we make at home. It's much tastier when the Su family makes it."
Su Fengchen learned hunger marketing from Su Binglan but did not intend to do that. After all, he genuinely did not have enough cured meat to sell. Even if he and Miao Zhizhi made more, they would still be in short supply because too many wanted their products.
Su Fengchen realized the popularity of his products had exceeded his expectations. However, his food indeed tasted delicious. It made people desire his products more than others.
He had previously made cured meats according to Su Binglan's instructions. Then he, his wife, and his parents found it delicious and could not help but eat it for several days.
Later, the family could finally restrain themselves. They realized they could not eat the same thing constantly, no matter how delicious it was.
Miao Zhizhi brightly smiled as she tended to the customers. "Don't worry, everyone. My husband will bring more cured meat soon. We made it fresh, so it's still warm, just nice for everyone to bring home for lunch. We always sell our products in the same spot every day."
The people queueing up chuckled when they heard her explanation.
"I'm relieved to hear that. It's good that we can buy more, Ma'am."
"We believe your food is always fresh. Otherwise, we wouldn't want to buy it so badly."
Ads by Pubfuture
"How do you make your products taste so good?"
Miao Zhizhi proudly said, "Our niece, Binglan, was the one who taught us. It's her secret recipe."
Everyone was enlightened. "Oh, the always capable Miss Su was the one who taught you? The foods she develops are always so delicious."
"Yeah, we went to town to eat skewers. That's your third brother-in-law's restaurant, and he said Miss Su had taught him to make skewers, too. His seasonings are also Miss Su p s exclusive recipes."
Miao Zhizhi was weighing the braised meat for packaging as she said, "Of course, our Binglan is brilliant. Others can't imitate the food she develops."
Everyone agreed with her. "You're right. The other barbecue skewers in town are pretty delicious but lack flavor. Their seasonings can't beat your third brother-in-law's.'
Miao Zhizhi noticed the small box beside her was full again as she busied herself. She became happier and started moving faster. Then she widened her eyes in surprise when she saw her niece. "Binglan, I see you're free to come over today.
"Your uncle will be here soon with more cured meat. I'll pack some for you to take home and eat.'
Although Miao Zhizhi was only a few years older than Su Binglan, she cherished her new-found niece as an elder. She did not know why, but her mood constantly improved whenever she saw Su Binglan.
Miao Zhizhi felt it was because her niece was likable. She was proud to be a part of the Su family.
Su Binglan shook her head. "Aunt Zhizhi, you can't give me free things. I must pay for them, you know?"
However, Miao Zhizhi insisted, "You can't pay for them since you own shares. It's your business, too. If you didn't teach your uncle and me how to make cured meat, our business wouldn't have gotten so popular."
Su Binglan said, "You and Uncle Fengchen are smart, so I didn't do much. I'll pay for the things you give me. If you refuse my payment, I'll feel too embarrassed to return here.'
She was persistent and felt it would be troublesome for her aunt and uncle to deduct it from the dividends later. Moreover, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi might not even consider the expense when they settled their accounts. They might even consider the product as a gift to their niece.
Therefore, Su Binglan would always pay for her things. That way, it would be easier for the couple to do their accounts.
Under Su Binglan's persistence, Miao Zhizhi could only take her niece's money and weigh the cured meat. However, she suddenly saw the youth behind her niece and asked curiously, "Huh? Who's he?"
Although Lan Ruozhu had suppressed his presence, Miao Zhizhi could feel a nobleness radiating from him..

Miao Zhizhi could not see much of Lan Ruozhu's appearance because the latter wore a hat and a scarf. Miao Zhizhi felt the youth was unique but could not tell what it was.
Su Binglan replied, "This is my brother."
"B-Brother?" Miao Zhizhi was stunned.
'If I remember correctly, none of Binglan's brothers looked like him. The others don't look like this person before me.' She was puzzled, but there were certain things one could not ask.
She felt it was inappropriate to pry. After all, the Su family only had one principle-supporting Su Binglan unconditionally.
Su Binglan took the initiative to explain, "He's my adopted brother."
Then Miao Zhizhi understood what she meant. "Oh, 1 see. Since he's your adopted brother, he's family. Your uncle and I will cook something nice for you two."
"Of course. Thank you, Aunt Zhizhi." Su Binglan smiled. She was thrilled that her family had accepted Lan Ruozhu so readily. Then she turned to Lan Ruozhu, and he softly said, "Hello, Aunt Zhizhi."
Niiao Zhizhi smiled from ear to eat. "We're family, so there's no need to be so polite."
She thought Lan Ruozhu's voice was pleasant to hear. She asked, "Have you eaten breakfast? I'll tell your uncle to make you some, and you can continue walking around after eating, okay?"
Ads by Pubfuture "We've already eaten, Aunt Zhizhi. We'll walk around the market soon."
Miao Zhizhi's eyes lit up when Su Binglan mentioned the market. "l love going to our village's market because it's lively. I would join you two if I weren't so busy now."
"Why don't you let Uncle Fengchen take care of the shop, and you can come with us?"
Miao Zhizhi smiled. "Your uncle will be swamped, so I better stay and help him. Fortunately, the market is vast and will stay open until evening. Your uncle and I will finish work soon. We planned to go shopping in the evening, after all.'
'Aunt Zhizhi and Uncle Fengchen have a perfect and inseparable relationship.'
"That's good." Su Binglan was genuinely happy for her aunt and uncle when she saw how close they were.
"Oh, right," Miao Zhizhi said as if she had thought of something, "Your uncle says he wants to open a cured meat store since so many foreign merchants want to order our products." @@novelbin@@
Initially, she and her husband only wanted to make cured meat to sell to the surrounding villagers. However, they never imagined how popular their products would become and how countless merchants from far and wide would excitedly place their orders.
These merchants also constantly suggested that the young couple expand their production scale. Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen were too busy previously, but after some thought, they realized how easy it was to make cured meat.
Their product was better than anyone else's because of their seasoning. Therefore, the young couple finally decided to open their store. They also wanted to ask Su Binglan for her opinion, primarily because she was the one who had taught them how to make cured meats.
Then Miao Zhizhi told her niece she would receive a share of the store's monthly sales. Nonetheless, Miao Zhizhi considered asking for Su Binglan's opinion since Su Binglan had visited at the right moment.
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows after hearing her aunt's suggestion. "That's a pretty good idea, Aunt Zhizhi. It'll go well if you and Uncle Fengchen can handle it.
"Everything should be on the right track once you open your store and hire workers. Then you can train one of them to be your manager, and you and Uncle Fengchen can supervise it occasionally. It'll also be okay if you keep the recipe to yourselves."
Ads by Pubfuture The queue members were ecstatic when they heard these things.
"Ma'am, will you open a store soon?"
Miao Zhizhi nodded. "Yes, you heard right."
"So, you'll be hiring people, right? I don't know the requirements, but my son is hardworking and has excellent characteristics. I hope he can go to the interview when the time comes.'
The man speaking lived far away and could not attend the winery and embroidery shop's interviews. They had received the news too late, and the winery and embroidery shop had already finished hiring.
The man wondered if his two children would have another chance to work in Su Teng Village if the cured meat store opened.
Everyone knew the Su family's shops and factories gave excellent wages and bonuses.
"It's just an idea for now," Miao Zhizhi said, "We'll inform everyone about the interview after we finish building the store. When that time comes, we'll mainly consider one's character to see if they are hardworking and have a good heart.
"We don't want to hire anyone with ulterior motives. If that happens, we won't hire that person and their family members."
The Su family could put an end to people with evil intentions with this method.
"Of course. The Su family pays excellently. No one would dare have bad intentions lest they ruin their opportunities at a decent life."
"That's right. Everyone has to work hard."
Su Fengchen came out after Su Binglan and Miao Zhizhi chatted. Meanwhile, Old Madam Su and Old Master Su helped to bring out large baskets of cured meats.

The fragrance wafted through the air, and some even gulped.
"Ah, that smells so good!"
"Yeah, it does! I can't wait to buy some for dinner later."
"I'll have it for lunch since it tastes best when it's nice and hot."
Others in the surrounding area could also smell the fragrance. They looked intoxicated.
When Old Master Su and Old Madam Su saw Su Binglan, they put down the basket. Old Madam Su pulled her granddaughter aside and spoke to her lovingly.
She was delighted when she discovered Su Binglan had acknowledged someone as her adopted brother. Old Madam Su also took Lan Ruozhu's hand and asked him to join them for dinner.
Lan Ruozhu looked at Old Madam Su l s loving expression and suddenly thought of his grandmother in the depths of his memories.
However, Su Binglan explained to her grandmother that she wanted to shop at the market and that she could only have dinner with her grandparents another time.
Then, Old Madam Su let her granddaughter and Lan Ruozhu go.
Lan Ruozhu became very emotional along the way. He stopped and said softly, "Sister, your family is perfect now." He liked being in a united family.
"They're your family now, too, Brother."
"Yes. Thank you, Sister."
Then Su Binglan brought Lan Ruozhu to the market. Lan Ruozhu was shocked when he looked around. "How is the market so vast?!"
He did not expect the market to be so expansive, even though Su Wenwu had told him it was. It was as crowded as a festival, noisy and bustling with people from far and wide.
Sounds of vendors, customers asking about prices, and bargaining echoed throughout the market. People were also chatting as they strolled around. Lan Ruozhu felt somewhat culture shocked as he looked at everyone smiling.
He forgot his identity as King Lan Ruozhu as he became relaxed and fell into a trance. It was like he had teleported into another world without war, only warmth and peace.
Everyone here worked together in contentment and harmony. Lan Ruozhu felt it was like a utopia mentioned in books he had read..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lan Ruozhu breathed in and relaxed as the burden on his body dissipated. It had been a while since he had felt so relaxed.
Su Binglan explained, "The market wasn't this vast initially, but it has been growing ever since. The villagers only occupied one area last time, but the entire street is full of stalls now.
"Granduncle Su also cleared the street around the corner for more people to set up their stalls."
Su Binglan also quite liked the lively scenery.
Lan Ruozhu said, "You're the one who made all these delicious foods and drove Su Teng Village's development."
He guessed his sister was the reason for Su Teng Village's prosperity. Only when a village prospered would the surrounding villagers travel here to participate in the market.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, "Perhaps. However, people can often buy useful and cheap things here. A business will go well if anyone sets up a stall in our village. Whenever I see everyone's smiles, I remember how simple it is for them to be happy. Don't feel pressured, Brother."
"Indeed, I was stubborn in the past." Lan Ruozhu nodded. @@novelbin@@
He had expectations of himself in the past. He immersed himself in hatred daily and forced himself to do many unnecessary things.
Ads by Pubfuture But now that he had found his sister and looked at everyone's lives here, he suddenly felt emotional. It turned out happiness was much more straightforward than he had thought. He realized people would be happy as long as they could eat.
The environment was also critical. The lively and happy atmosphere could infect even King Lan Ruozhu.
"Let's go to the market, Brother. Let's see if you like anything, and I can buy it for you."
Lan Ruozhu said, "l brought some silver notes for you, Sister."
He had kept some in his sleeve and let the Shadow Guards carry the rest. Although most of his silver remained in the capital, he planned to give what he had to his sister.
Su Binglan said, "You can keep those, Brother. I have plenty of money, so you don't have to worry about me."
On the contrary, as king, Lan Ruozhu had done many things and could spend much of his money anywhere. Su Binglan considered this, and her heart ached for her brother.
The heavy burdens and responsibilities of the deceased royal's mansion had fallen onto Lan Ruozhu. Su Binglan knew he was not at ease with these burdens. However, she could help him in the future.
She remembered hiding a sum of silver and other things while living as Lan Ruobing. Still, her memory of where she had hidden these things was a little blurry.
Nonetheless, she believed she could fully recover her memories after some time. Then she would remember where she had hidden these things. After that, she would have enough funds to do many more things for the people and help her brother.
A new idea appeared in Su Binglan's mind. She wanted to help Lan Ruozhu develop the entire capital. She also wanted to train an even stronger elite team for him. That way, they would not have to worry if Chu Country became chaotic.
The siblings would be unafraid of war if they prepared themselves fully. However, such a colossal project would require much financial support, and the siblings had many things to do to reach their goals.
Ads by Pubfuture Therefore, Su Binglan knew she had to set up more businesses and factories to earn as much money as quickly as possible. Still, Lan Ruozhu wanted to leave all his good fortune for his sister.
Next, Su Binglan brought her brother to stroll around the market. She and her brother wore scarves and hats so no one would recognize them. That way, Su Binglan could accompany her brother without anyone disturbing them.
She could not help but sigh when she looked at the things everyone was selling. 'People from this era are highly innovative.'
Everyone relied on their own intelligence. Some carved excellent children's
toys, some made exquisite-looking figurines, and others cooked food like dumplings, pancakes, and other snacks.
Some also sold clothes and shoes they had made themselves, while others sold their pre-loved items, stationery, books, and hand-crafted farming tools.
Since many people visited the market, someone was bound to buy such things. At least one or two people stood before each stall, looking at the items and bargaining.
Curiosity filled Lan Ruozhu's eyes as he looked around. He had never seen many of these things. He looked at them but did not buy anything. Still, he enjoyed walking around.
Lan Ruozhu finally understood why everyone liked coming to the market. It was just like going out to relax and play.
He and his sister stopped at a stall where a woman was selling toys. She had carved some out of wood while others were made of cloth. The dolls looked lifelike and had exquisite craftsmanship.
Su Binglan's eyes lit up when she saw these toys. Even Lan Ruozhu's eyes widened. Su Binglan squatted and picked up the toys to look at them. She felt they were somewhat familiar.
Ads by Pubfuture
'Why do they look so familiar?' She wondered, then asked, "Did you carve these?"
The young woman gently smiled and said, "My husband carved them."
"These are exquisite."
"Thank you, Ma'am. My husband can make many things but only sell these."
"How much are they?"
"Five copper each, Ma'am."
Then someone else came over to look around and said, "Isn't five copper a little expensive?"
The salesgirl pursed her lips and whispered anxiously, "M-My husband worked hard to make these. Um, he's sick, and we need money to buy medicine, so 1 genuinely can't go any cheaper."
An older lady beside them heard this and hurriedly said, "Oh, you and your husband should quickly go to the Su family's house for treatment. Their fees are cheap since it only costs five to ten copper."
The salesgirl frowned and said lowly, "B-But my husband can't leave the house, so I plan on asking a doctor to go to my house and treat my husband." She looked anxious as she spoke.
As Su Binglan looked at the toys, a series of images suddenly flashed in her mind. Her face froze, then she touched the carved toy she held and said, "I'm a doctor. Can you take me to your house? You don't have to pay me if I can cure your husband-instead, you can give me these toys."
The salesgirl was stunned when she heard that. She even doubted her ears. "A-Are you sure? C-Can you really cure my husband?!"
Su Binglan could only undo her scarf and remove her hat. Immediately after, everyone recognized her.
"Whoa, it's Miss Su!"
"Salesgirl, this is the famous Miss Su! Her medical skills are unparalleled. She can undoubtedly cure your husband!"
"Yeah, Miss Su even healed my father's leg."
"My grandmother drank the medicine Miss Su prescribed. My grandmother's vision is no longer blurry. She can also hear much better now. It's all very magical.."

Everyone revealed revering and grateful expressions when they looked at Su
Binglan. The saleswoman was also excited when she saw Su Binglan. "T-Thank you, Miss Su. I'll bring you to my house now."
The saleswoman hurriedly picked up her things and gave up her spot at the market. Then she handed a wooded carving to the lady beside her. "Thank you for making space for me. This toy is for you to bring home for your children to play with."
The lay smiled lovingly. "There's no need for that. It's hard enough for you to earn money, and I can't take your things for free."
"Please, take it, Ma'am.'
The saleswoman had arrived late to the market, so no space remained for her toy stall. However, the lady beside her had kindly moved aside and given the saleswoman a small spot to set up her stall.
The saleswoman was grateful and wanted to pay the lady for her kindness. However, the saleswoman had set up her stall not long ago and had yet to sell any toys.
The lady smiled when she saw the saleswoman's anxious expression. The lady said, "How about this? Here's a small basket my family made. You can have it to hold your things."
The saleswoman nodded, took the basket, and gave the lady the wooden toy.
Then the saleswoman put the rest of her things in the basket and prepared to set off with Su Binglan.
The saleswoman remembered something and said, "M-Miss Su, my house is far from here.'
"That's okay. My family has a carriage we can take."
"A-A carriage?" The saleswoman's eyes widened, looking adorable.
Su Binglan found it amusing to see her like that. The saleswoman looked like a little girl with a mature woman's hairdo.
The people of this era only had a few restrictions. Everyone's hairstyle was casual, but some insisted on combing theirs to look more lady-like. Su Binglan asked, "Oh, right. Where's your house?"
"It's in Eastern Thunder Village." Indeed, the village was far away.
Su Binglan looked at the saleswoman and asked, "How old are you? Did you walk here from Eastern Thunder Village this morning?"
The salesgirl answered, "My name is Lei Tongtong, and I'm fourteen this year. Although I'm young, I'm capable enough to have set off before dawn and walked here.'
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows, thinking, 'Her surname is Lei, but I'm unsure if it's a coincidence.'
"Since we're heading to Eastern Thunder Village, taking the carriage will be more convenient."
Lei Tongtong was relatively simple, so she did not suspect anything after hearing Su Binglan's words. Moreover, she knew Su Binglan was a good person that everyone acknowledged. Hence, she trusted Su Binglan.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu's expression turned cold. He had a suspicion but could not be sure. 'l must see this man to know what's happening.'
Su Binglan also felt the need to meet Lei Tongtongs husband. She wanted to know if it was him. She felt apologetic for being unable to accompany her brother around the market. "Brother, why don't I get Wenvvu to accompany
Lan Ruozhu shook his head and said, "I'll come with you."
The siblings knew what it meant when they looked at each other. Su Binglan also knew her brother had a suspicion. She said, "All right then."
Lan Ruozhu added, "Besides, we can go to the market anytime. We have important business to attend to now."
Su Binglan nodded. Then Lei Tongtong, Blue Eagel, and the siblings boarded the carriage and headed toward Eastern Thunder Village. Su Binglan looked at Lei Tongtongs adorable and innocent appearance before asking, "Who tied your hair?"
"My husband did. He wanted to give me a young girl's hairstyle, but I wanted a more womanly one because I'm married to him." Lei Tongtong was all smiles whenever she mentioned her husband. She seemed to love him very much.
"Then your husband must dote on you a lot."
Lei Tongtong nodded without hesitation and said, 'Yes, he's my perfect husband.'
However, she thought of something, and her expression became downcast. Su Binglan looked at her and felt the latter was like a child. Lei Tongtongs eyes were crystal clear, and she seemed well protected.
"Your husband doesn't know you often go to the market to sell things, right?"
Lei Tongtong blinked when she heard that. "H-How did you know."
"l just guessed as much," Su Binglan chuckled.
Lei Tongtong looked innocent, and her husband doted on her very much. Since that was the case, he would not bear to let her travel so far just to sell things. Moreover, those toys looked like they had more meaning to them.
Lei Tongtongs husband had probably made them for Lei Tongtong. No wonder she looked heartbroken when she was trying to sell them. She could not bear to sell the toys but had to do it for her husband's treatment.
"Did your husband make these toys for you?"
Lei Tongtong felt saddened when she heard Su Binglan's question. She nodded. "Yes, he made them. I couldn't bear to sell them."
She was reluctant to play with the toys, fearing she would break them.
Su Binglan looked at Lei Tongtongs downcast expression and reached out to stroke the girl's hair. "Don't be sad. Your husband can make you more toys when he recovers.'
"Yes, Miss Su." Lei Tong Tong nodded.
It was already noon when the trio arrived at Eastern Thunder Village near the foot of a valley. The population was relatively small, and everyone had the Lei surname. Smoke also emerged from every household, probably from everyone cooking.
Lei Tongtong alighted from the carriage and saw a man standing at the door of a thatched cottage. She looked over and said, "That's my husband."
Su Binglan saw the man and could see him more clearly when the carriage got closer. Although the man's appearance had changed a little, she could still recognize him at a glance,
'It's Gongsun Mo.'
It was the young man from the Gongsun family Su Binglan had saved. He was probably nineteen now, and she did not expect him to be married. @@novelbin@@
'Thank goodness he's still alive.'
However, Lan Ruobing had arranged for Gongsun MO to go to Thundercloud Castle, not Eastern Thunder Village. She wondered what he was doing here instead.
'If I'm not mistaken, Lei Tongtong should also be from Thundercloud Castle.'
Lei Tongtong left the carriage and ran toward Gongsun Mo. "Dear, what are you doing outside?"
Gongsun MO used his walking stick to support himself as he looked at his wife and said helplessly, "Where did you go? Why didn't you come home until now?"
He could not bear to scold Lei Tongtong too much. However, he became cold and wary when he saw Su Binglan's carriage. Gongsun MO instinctively wanted to protect his wife behind him.
But she stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm okay, dear. Miss Su brought me home. Her medical skills are unparalleled."
'Miss Su?' Although Gongsun MO had never left Eastern Thunder Village, he had heard the news about the Su family and Miss Su. That was because someone from Eastern Thunder Village worked in Su Binglan's embroidery shop.
That girl's family always liked showing off, saying how good the Su family was and how their daughter could receive wages and bonuses.
Gongsun MO had heard about these things but did not know much else. He asked frowningly, "Didn't I tell you not to go too far?"
"But 1 want to heal your leg. 1 don't want you to work like that." Although Lei Tongtong was innocent, she was not a fool. She knew what to do and wanted to heal her husband's leg..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gongsun MO sighed softly and stroked his wife's hair when he heard her explanation. He looked conflicted and was already indifferent to life or death.
He felt burdened with hatred, but he had someone to worry about. It was Lei Tongtong.
He thought she was innocent and did not know how to care for herself.
Su Binglan had already descended the carriage and appeared before the young couple. She introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Su Binglan. That's my brother, and this is Blue Eagle."
She could not openly say Lan Ruozhu's name. He was still wearing his hat and scarf, so none could recognize him. However, Su Binglan believed Gongsun MO was no stranger to Blue Eagle.
After all, she had arranged for Blue Eagle to settle Gongsun MO down while living as Lan Ruobing.
Gongsun MO was stunned when he looked at the youth's appearance and heard the name "Blue Eagle." At that moment, he recalled the past, and his heart was in turmoil.
Lei Tongtong looked at Gongsun MO and was shocked. She waved a hand before his face and said, "Dear?"
Gongsun MO only returned to his senses after that. His attitude toward Su Binglan and the other two changed entirely then. He was no longer wary of them and became slightly excited instead.
Still, he had his suspicions.
Ads by Pubfuture Blue Eagle was Princess Lan's subordinate, and she would arrange for him to do crucial tasks. Then, Blue Eagle became King Lan Ruozhu's follower when Princess Lan passed away.
Gongsun MO felt a sense of familiarity with the young lady before him, but she looked different. He also guessed the person wearing the hat and scarf was
Lan Ruozhu.
'But isn't King Lan Ruozhu weak and has to sit in a wheelchair? How can he stand and walk independently?'
Gongsun MO had many doubts, but after seeing Blue Eagle, he knew they were from the deceased royal's mansion. He excitedly welcomed everyone. Although walking was challenging, he could use his walking stick to support himself.
Lei Tongtong squatted before him and said, "Dear, I'll carry you in.'!
She was much stronger than ordinary people and wanted to do something for Gongsun Mo. When the couple escaped from pursuit in the past, Lei Tongtong was the one who carried Gongsun MO and quickly ran away.
However, Gongsun MO was reluctant to let his wife tire herself out. They rarely went out after moving here.
Gongsun MO said softly, "You can get up, dear. I can go in myself."
Su Binglan started observing Lei Tongtong more immediately after. She felt Lei Tongtongs demeanor and expression shift slightly. "You're much stronger than most, Tongtong."
Lei Tongtong nodded. "Yes, but I accidentally use too much force and break things sometimes."
She could not control her physical power.
Ads by Pubfuture Gongsun MO sighed and explained, "She wasn't like that when she was younger. She only became stronger after recovering from a few illnesses.
"You're still young," Gongsun MO gently told his wife, "It's expected that you can't control your strength. If you break something, we can always fix it." He could always soothe his wife's temper gently.
Su Binglan felt moved when she looked at Gongsun Mo's current appearance. She remembered him acting hostile, and his eyes were cold when the emperor annihilated the Gongsun family.
Gongsun MO could not control his murderous aura and wanted revenge. When Su Binglan was Lan Ruobing, she thought of many places to settle in Gongsun Nio. Ultimately, she chose Thundercloud Castle.
The castle was far from disputes, and its families only made perfumes and makeup. It was suitable for him to live in such an atmosphere. However, he did not expect Lan Ruozhu and Blue Eagle to visit the remote village.
Eastern Thunder Village was far from Thundercloud Castle, and the young couple had experienced something there.
After entering the courtyard, Gongsun MO closed the door and bolted it. Then Lan Ruozhu removed his scarf and hat after entering the house.
Gongsun MO was even more shocked when he saw Lan Ruozhu's appearance. "Y-Your Niajesty!'
He was astounded and quickly knelt before Lan Ruozhu. However, Su Binglan lifted the former and said, "Sit, Mo. We're not outsiders, so there's no need to be so polite."
Gongsun MO looked at Su Binglan and then at Lan Ruozhu. His heart was in turmoil. 'The King is really here. Has he finally recovered?'
He had seen King Lan Ruozhu before and knew the latter was frail. There were also rumors saying Lan Ruozhu would not live past eighteen years old.
However, the King was eighteen years old and still okay. Moreover, he was in good health and could walk freely. Gonsun MO also felt the same when he faced Su Binglan as when he faced Princess Lan Ruobing.
He became dazed. 'If it weren't for the difference in their appearances, I would have thought Miss Su is Princess Lan. Or did Princess Lan not die and change her appearance instead?
'Wait, it doesn't seem like a disguise, and Miss Su is the Su family's daughter, so she has nothing to do with Princess Lan.'
Su Binglan observed Gongsun Mo's expression and knew he had many questions. She said, "I'll cure you now, so you no longer have to worry. I happened across a wooden toy and thought of you.
"I wasn't sure if it was your craftsmanship, so I came to see if it was yours. I honestly did not expect to be right."
Gongsun MO looked at Lei Tongtong, and she lowered her head, saying, "I-I
just wanted to earn money to get you a doctor." Gongsun MO said softly, "I'm not mad at you, dear."
He could not bear to blame his wife and was concerned about her. Atter all, Su
Teng Market was so far away. 'How did she get there, to begin with?'
His heart ached when he thought of how far Lei Tongtong had to run with all those things. Then he recalled the past and took the initiative to explain, "Tongtong is the Lord of Thundercloud Castle's daughter. However, someone had attempted to assassinate him.
"He returned to the castle with severe injuries and hurriedly arranged certain things. He entrusted and betrothed Tongtong to me. I think the Castle Lord might have known too much then but didn't have the time to tell me.
"I never expected someone from Thundercloud Castle to harm the Castle Lord and Tongtong. The castle was under attack that night, costing many their lives. That was when I broke my leg."
Lei Tongtongs eyes reddened when she recalled those moments. "Those people hurt my people and my husband. Fortunately, MO had made a hidden mechanism that allowed us to escape."
"Yes, that's right." Gongsun MO nodded. "We had to live in the wild and sleep in the open for a while. Later, we found Eastern Thunder Village and settled down. Fortunately, I had some silver for us to live stable lives here.
"I could only think of revenge then, but I was worried about Tongtong and didn't want to endanger her. I only want her to live happily."
Of course, Lan Ruozhu understood this feeling the most. @@novelbin@@
Although Gongsun MO had explained things simply, Su Binglan knew how complicated and dangerous their experience was.
She asked, "But isn't Thundercloud Castle united and doesn't involve itself in disputes? Why would people break in and kill so many people?"
