Su Xueye was ecstatic just thinking about it. He had an excellent relationship with his grandparents and other family members, so it would be perfect if they could move to Su Teng Village.
Moreover, Su Xueye’s mother had always missed her family, so it would be fine if she lived in Su Teng Village. He knew everyone would be thrilled to live in the residential area.
Su Xueye could imagine how lively the area would be because of the vast land. It would not feel crowded, even if many visited. Instead, it would feel prosperous.
His eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly, saying, “Aunt Binglan, this residential area will connect us to the town if it’s this big. If we want to get from the village to Tenghe Town now, we’ll have to pass a vast open space.
“We’ll have to walk for about an hour to get to Tenghe Town. However, this large area will have plenty of buildings. It’ll be equivalent to Su Teng Village joining with Tenghe Town.”
Su Binglan had bought a vast piece of empty land, saying it was for Su Teng
Village’s benefit. Therefore, the residential area would belong to Su Teng Village. If that were the case, the village would be more prosperous than the town.
Su Binglan smiled and said, “Yes, it’ll become a main street once we build what I mentioned. We’ll also prepare the land sufficiently to make it more convenient for traversing.
“There will be several roads on the main street. These will be inner roads for traversing, and those are for carriages and oxcarts.”
Su Xueye’s eyes widened as he looked at Su Binglan admiringly. He said, “Then, everyone will be safe on the road. We won’t have to worry about the carriages knocking into the people.
“Whenever people travel, they would feel nervous because of the passing oxcarts and carriages. Sometimes, children would play around and might not react as fast as adults to avoid the oncoming carriages.
Ads by Pubfuture “Those who ride horses might be too fast and startle the passersby. Fewer accidents will occur since there’s an inner road for pedestrians.”
Su Xueye had not considered these things when drawing his blueprints. However, Su Binglan considered everything in detail. After all, she had lived another life in the modern world, allowing her to be more meticulous.
She continued to explain, “We should also place road signs around the residential area. For example, we’ll make one that points toward the mall, one to the residential area, one to the food street, and so on.’
Su Binglan felt energetic as she spoke about her plans. She wished she could build the residential area with a snap of her fingers.
Su Xueye was just as excited and wanted to start building as soon as possible. He looked at the blueprints and plans, asking, “Aunt Binglan, are the two rows there just for shops?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, that’s the main street. There will be shops on both sides where people can start businesses. That way, passersby can get groceries and other things whenever they visit.”
Su Xueye had some understanding of the economy, saying, “Many people here want to open their own shops to make a better living. Old Madam Yangs multi-grain pancake shop should do exceptionally well.
“She can improve her life by selling pancakes daily. Even if she doesn’t have land, she can buy a house there.”
Su Binglan raised an eyebrow and asked, “You went to buy Old Madam Yangs multi-grain pancakes?”
“Yeah, I did. The pancakes were delicious!” Su Xueye exclaimed, “Old Madam Yang only opened her stall in the afternoon during the New Year celebrations. Even so, many rushed to buy her food.
“Old Madam Yangs pancakes were fragrant and crispy. They were so delicious that I had to line up whenever I went to buy some. Sometimes, I couldn’t get any because she would sell out.”
Su Binglan smiled faintly, thinking, ‘I’m glad.’
Su Xueye added, “1 think business on this street will do well because there will be more factories around. The future shopowners’ businesses will be booming before they know it.”
“The people can sell various things on that street,” Su Binglan said, “Even if people from surrounding villages don’t go shopping, they can buy daily necessities from the shopowners.
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture “People can shop in the mall and get food from the streets. We’ll reserve that side for a farmer’s market. The villagers can sell their vegetables and meats there.’
Su Xueye asked, “Isn’t that like Su Teng Market, Aunt Binglan?”
“Yes, more or less. However, people won’t have to wait for Su Teng Market to open if the residential area has its own farmer’s market. People can buy what they need from the residential area instead.”
Su Binglan also wanted to build a supermarket, but no such thing existed in this era. She would have to set up a supply channel to build one. She would also have to get people to stock up, set up, and even pay bills.
If she were to build a supermarket, it would have to be big enough to accommodate a variety of items. Su Binglan must consider this option more carefully before setting it in motion.@@novelbin@@
She felt she did not have enough trusted aides. She also needed to train specialized management talents. Su Binglan thought of something else and said, “We also need to build a school in the residential area.’
Su Xueye was stunned. “Another school? What about Blue Mountain
Academy?”
Su Binglan replied, “It’ll be different from Blue Mountain Academy. I plan to build a medical school. I also want to train management talents as my subordinates for the residential area.
“When they finish their studies, 1 will make them managers of certain businesses.’
As for the medical school, Su Binglan wanted to build it for Su Wenxiu. When the time came, he would train more medical talents. Then, Su Binglan would transfer the new medical talents to Hundred Herbs Hospital.
Nonetheless, she had saved up plenty of silver. During the New Year, she and
Luo Jin’an received many red packets. Su Binglan did not want to build the residential area slowly. Instead, she wanted to build everything simultaneously.
She said, “This project is massive. You and Uncle Zhengde must arrange your teams accordingly and build the residential area together. Don’t worry about the funds; hire more people to finish the project as soon as possible.”
Su Binglan drew the blueprints in great detail. The construction would be faster if Su Xueye and Su Zhengde hired more workers.
Su Xueye shared Su Binglan’s urgency, saying, “Grandpa didn’t understand me when I told him about the residential area. He only became excited when I showed him my blueprints and explained it to him.
“He said the surrounding villagers would benefit if we succeed. Of course, many people will want to move here once we complete the residential area..”

Su Xueye said, “Great-Grandpa Su will be thrilled about the residential area.
He hopes the village will only improve and become more prosperous.”
Su Xueye’s great- grandfather, also Su Binglan’s eldest granduncle, was the chief of Su Teng Village.
Since Su Teng Village’s development, Chief Su felt his physical and mental health had improved. In the eyes of others, he seemed to have aged backward.
That was because Su Binglan had mixed her spiritual spring water into the wine she had gifted him. It benefited Chief Su l s health significantly, and he seemed to be in a much better mental state.
Additionally, the Su family had become more influential. Their tofu factory had helped many villagers, and the people were grateful to the family for it. Chief Su could only feel gratified.
“Granduncle Su is an excellent village chief. He only hopes Su Teng Village continues to improve and prosper.”
The Su Teng Villagers were grateful to Chief Su. They would believe everything he said because he had their respect. Whoever wanted to move to Su Teng Village would need Chief Su p s approval.
Of course, he would not take bribes. Instead, he looked at one’s background and behavior. After ensuring the person was kind-hearted and diligent, he would allow them to move in.
The people of Su Teng Village were kind and helpful, which had much to do with Chief Su’s excellent management skills. Additionally, he was the first to accept those who lived in Su Teng Village long ago.
Therefore, Su Teng Village was always a peaceful place to live.
Su Xueye said smilingly, “Aunt Su, many people I didn’t recognize visited my great- grandparents. His house was much livelier than in previous years.”
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture “Do you like crowds?” Su Binglan asked.
Su Xuexue nodded. “Yes, I like the liveliness during the New Year. Everyone is happy, especially when they eat delicious food. Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma never smiled much in the past. But now, they seem much kinder and smile more often.’
Su Xueye felt tense last time, but it had improved now. He was more carefree, unlike when no one dared to speak up last time.
Su Binglan considered this change and said, “It’s good you’re happy. Everyone looks much better when they smile.”
Su Xueye’s eyes widened. “Aunt Binglan, you’re only a few months older than me, but you speak so wisely.”
“It’s true. I am your elder.” Su Binglan helplessly sighed but felt amused.
Although Su Xueye called Su Binglan “aunt,” he saw her as his sister. Su
Binglan was so young yet so capable. She was who Su Xueye admired most.
Su Binglan and Su Xueye discussed the plans the entire morning. When noon arrived, she asked Su Xueye to stay for lunch.@@novelbin@@
When Su Binglan said she would cook, Su Xueye did not argue and stayed for lunch. Su Binglan made stir-fried mung bean sprouts and a spicy hotpot that afternoon.
Making the spicy hotpot was relatively simple, and the seasoning was vital. Su Binglan had already prepared the sesame sauce. The family ate the food with the sauce and could not stop praising it.
They also enjoyed the stir-fried mung bean sprouts. Su Wenwu had not stopped thinking about it since last night. He felt satisfied after finally tasting it, saying, “It’s so delicious, Sister!”
Su Xueye nodded enthusiastically. “It’s not just delicious—it’s also refreshing!
I’ve been eating meat these past few days, so having something new is nice. Having something light like this increases my appetite.”
Ads by Pubfuture He remembered only being able to eat more extravagant foods on New Year’s Day. Even so, most of the dishes were the same. This Chinese New Year was different because he could eat something new daily.
Su Xueye had been eating well for the past month. However, having meat every day was unhealthy because of the fat content.
Everyone sat around a small pot and dipped their skewers into the hotpot. Afterward, they removed the skewers and dipped them into the sesame sauce before eating.
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu could not stop thinking about opening another hotpot restaurant. His eyes lit up when he saw the spicy hotpot his sister made. He asked, “Sister, can we open a spicy hotpot shop instead of a regular one?”
Su Binglan was about to eat when she heard her brother’s question. She paused and asked, “What inspired that idea?”
She felt Su Wenwu would have a hard time dealing with an average hotpot restaurant and one that specialized in spicy foods. However, Su Wenwu thought otherwise.
He was excited when he considered opening a spicy hotpot restaurant. Su Wenwu was no longer confused after running so many restaurants. On the contrary, he felt fulfilled.
Unlike his past muddleheaded self, he felt at ease when he could work hard. Su Wenwu was no longer a lost soul because he had a gratifying career. He enjoyed opening more restaurants and innovating them.
He had hotpot restaurants wherever he went. Although he could not describe how happy he was, he felt accomplished. Therefore, he felt inspired to open a spicy hotpot restaurant.
“Making mala with Sichuan peppercorns is relatively simple, so we don’t need to hire a renowned chef. We just need to master the seasoning ourselves,” Su Wenwu explained.
“Moreover, the customers will cook their own food in the mala hotpot. It gives a novel feeling and sense of interaction. Besides, 1 think mala is delicious and also cheap.
“The customers can choose their vegetarian, tofu, or meat skewers. It’ll be similar to our average hotpot. Since mala is cheaper, ordinary people can eat it too.”
Since the average hotpot was relatively expensive, ordinary villagers could not afford it. However, mala differed as it only cost a little over ten copper to eat.
The family was eating from a small pot when Su Wenwu said, “l also considered making a pot like this for customers to sit around while waiting for their food to cook in the mala. I’ll make a few dividers so they don’t mistakenly grab other people’s skewers.”
Su Binglan was surprised when her brother voiced his thoughts so enthusiastically. She said, “Your ideas are excellent, Third Brother!”
“Does that mean you’ll support me?”
Su Binglan scratched the back of her head with an awkward smile, asking, “Can you handle it?”
Su Wenwu nodded. “Yes, I can! I’ve already gained a lot of experience from running several hotpot restaurants. I just need to hire good workers. Then, I’ll just check on them every day. I can handle it since they’ll do most of the work..

Su Wenwu’s blood boiled when he thought about it. He wished to open a spicy hotpot restaurant right away. Since he had gained much experience from opening multiple restaurants, he knew how to manage and operate them.
However, eating at hotpot restaurants was expensive, which most people could not afford. Of course, villagers around Su Teng Village could afford it, but they were still reluctant to go so often.
Even so, mala hotpot was much cheaper. Everyone could choose their skewers, allowing them to eat less so they would not overspend.
Moreover, mala hotpots would not be too big. It could fit on a small round table accommodating a few people. Each small pot could fit multiple skewers.
Su Wenwu grew excited, saying, ‘Each pot doesn’t have to be too big. We can open a few more shops, then everyone can enjoy the food. A small shop like that wouldn’t need much of a workforce. Two or three people will do.”
He felt mala hotpot was more straightforward to manage than a regular hotpot restaurant.
Su Binglan noticed his excitement and said, “Since you want to open a spicy hotpot restaurant, let’s do it. We’ll do it like you said, Third Brother. The staff can help cook and put in the ingredients for the guests. Then, the guests can just sit at the table to eat and chat. It’ll save space, too.”
After some thought, Su Wenwu said, “l have to consider how to open the restaurant. If I open in the morning, the guests can eat mala hotpot earlier.”
He wondered if opening the restaurant elsewhere or beside the other hotpot restaurants would be better.
Su Binglan took a bite of the mala hotpot in her bowl and said, “You don’t have to go through so much trouble, Third Brother. There’s a shop outside the staff dormitory next to the embroidery shop. We own that shop, so we don’t need to rent it.”
Su Wenwu’s eyes widened. “I forgot those shops belong to you, Sister.”
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture The staff dormitory area was not too small. Employees lived there, and there were rows of shops outside. Old Madam Yangs pancake shop was there. The foot traffic there was excellent, and her business was popular.
When Su Wenwu went to town, he often passed that shop and saw a long queue behind it. Many people lined up to buy multi-grain pancakes during Su Binglan’s play.
The embroidery shop, winery, and noodle shops were there, too, Su Binglan also said she would build a few more factories next time so more people would be there.
People would come and go when they worked at the upcoming factories.
Hence, they would frequent the spicy hotpot restaurant. Perhaps it could be even more popular than the restaurants in town.@@novelbin@@
Su Wenwu raised an eyebrow when he thought about it. He said, “Then I’ll just use one of the storefronts to open the spicy hotpot restaurant?”
“You can use it as you see fit, Third Brother.”
“Okay, then I’ll pay rent to you, Sister.” Su Wenwu felt too embarrassed to ask his sister for help.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “There’s no need to be so formal with me. Just use the space, We have plenty of vacant shops over there, Some of them are for our use.”
Su Wenwu felt warm when he heard that. He was happy to have a younger sister like her. After all, it was costly to rent a shop.
He could feel more at ease using his sister’s shop. He also did not have to worry about a landlord wanting to stop renting the place, causing him to move to another location.
Su Wenwu knew his sister was capable and did not mind lending him the shop for free. He could not stop thinking about the spicy hotpot restaurant as he ate.
“I’ll start preparing the shop this afternoon so I can open the restaurant in a few days.” He had grown accustomed to doing things swiftly.
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture However, he thought about something else, “The townsfolk are a little far away to come and try the mala hotpot. They can’t come here too often, right?”
Although Su Xueye was quietly eating at the side, he heard what Su Binglan and Su Wenwu discussed.
Su Xueye understood Su Wenwu!s concerns and considered what he had discussed with Su Binglan that morning. Su Xueye said, “The area near the staff dormitory will be the most prosperous in the future. The townsfolk will be willing to travel here to try your mala hotpot.”
“Why would it be the most prosperous place?”
Su Binglan noticed Su Wenwu’s stunned expression. She laughed and said, “Don’t you remember what I told you? We’ll open a few more factories around there. When the time comes, that place will be more prosperous than Tenghe
Town.”
Su Binglan also planned to open a shopping mall with clothing stores where she could sell her sweaters and down jackets from the embroidery shops.
She would also expand the embroidery shop and hire more girls to make clothes. From her point of view, most women liked buying clothes, no matter what era it was.
Many would go to the mall to buy clothes and shoes if there were ready-made ones. Su Binglan even planned to hire people to make various shoes. She had many ideas but could only implement them in steps.
Su Wenwu remembered something. He said, ‘You told me about it before, but I forgot. That way, our village will be livelier than Tenghe Town. The townsfolk will come and try the mala hotpot then.
“Oh, that’s the commercial street you mentioned before. Can you leave me a shop to open a regular hotpot restaurant? Then, our family can also open their own shops at the mall.”
Su Wenzhe grew excited when he heard that. “You’re too good to us, Sister.”
Su Wenxiu raised an eyebrow, saying, “l want to have a big storefront to use as a clinic.’
Su Binglan nodded. “Don’t worry, Second Brother. The clinic I want to build will be massive. We’ll call it The People’s Clinic. You’ll recruit many doctors and run the place.
“l also plan to build a medical school under your care. We can train many more talents there.’
Although Su Binglan had these ideas before, she had many things to do last time. Moreover, Su Wenxiu had just started studying medicine and was not qualified to run a clinic.
However, things were different now. Su Binglan could finally build a medical school, shopping mall, real estate, etcetera..

Su Wenxiu grew even more excited when he heard his sister’s words. It turned out Su binglan had already planned his future for him. His sister’s gesture touched him, and his heart felt warm.
“Little Sister…” He wanted to thank Su Binglan but thought it would be too much. Everything he had now was thanks to his sister. He would not have been able to study medicine without his Su Binglan, let alone have an excellent reputation.
He also had the privilege to teach people about medicine. His medical skills had improved, and he had garnered people’s respect. Moreover, he could do what he loved. Su Wenxiu was content.
He seemed depressed a moment ago when his brothers talked about their businesses. Since they could earn money for the family, he felt he had done little compared to them.
However, He was shocked when Su Binglan mentioned building a medical school and clinic for him to run.
Su Wenxiu’s heart surged, and he wanted to thank his sister, but his words stuck to his throat.
Su Binglan looked at him and said, “You’re capable and talented, Second Brother. You can help more people with the medical school and The People’s Clinic.
“I’ll feel relieved with you running the clinic and medical school. Lin Shu, Li Erying, Li Wei, and Yang Man can help you, too.”
Su Wenxiu was talented in medicine and hard working. Hence, his medical skills rose considerably in just a short time. Even Su Binglan was amazed by his progress.
Whenever anyone needed medical advice, they would seek him. He treated every patient seriously and prescribed medicine accurately. Su Wenxiu had cured many people, and they were grateful to him.
The villagers knew they could rely on a highly skilled doctor like Su Wenxiu. Even the townsfolk sought his medical advice.
Sometimes, they would come to Su Teng Village when Hundred Herbs Hospital was closed in the middle of the night. Su Wenxiu also treated patients overnight. Therefore, his reputation gradually spread to other villages.
Of course, he was never arrogant and understood that someone would always be better than him. He would concentrate on learning to gather as much knowledge as possible. Only then would he consider himself a good doctor.
Su Wenxiu always reminded himself to stay humble. Even when teaching his students, he would first teach them human principles and that doctors must be ethical.
Su Binglan had witnessed her brother’s good virtues. Therefore, she knew he would become an excellent doctor and mentor. That was why she would make Su Wenxiu the medical school dean.
Su Wenxiu looked into his sister’s eyes and knew she had high hopes for him. He said thoughtfully. “All right, I’ll listen to you, Little Sister.”
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao listened in. They were proud of their hardworking children.
The family discussed many things during lunch. Afterward, Su Wenwu went to look at the available shops, wishing he could open his spicy hotpot restaurant now.
Meanwhile, Su Xueye took the blueprints home to discuss with his grandfather. Of course, Su Binglan paid him so that he could arrange for his team to build the commercial street according to the blueprints.
Soon after, Su Binglan went to Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtongs house. After building the toy factory, she would hire them to mass-produce the toys. She visited them to discuss the factory in further detail.
Su Binglan was stunned when she arrived and saw the many toys in the house.
Lei Tongtong happily explained, “Sister Su, my husband has been carving these because he has nothing to do. He made a lot for you.”
Su Binglan had given toy designs and ideas to Gonsun MO last year. Besides cooking for Lei Tongtong and doing housework, he spent the rest of his time sculpting these toys.
Su Binglan held the toys he had made and sighed. She could not bear to part with such exquisite toys. They were not only good-looking but also fun. The building blocks Gongsun MO had made were even better looking than the ones Su Binglan had drawn.
Ads by Pubfuture She could imagine these toys’ popularity once they started selling them. After all, there were no such toys on the market now. Gongsun MO also made puzzles, wooden boats, houses, and other beautiful toys.
He also made toy soldiers to simulate battles.
“You make your family proud,” Su Binglan praised, “The toys you’ve made are even better than I imagined.”
Gongsun MO blushed when he received Su Bignlan’s praise. He said, “l couldn’t have done all this without your designs.”@@novelbin@@
He knew he could only make such things because of Su Binglan’s whimsical ideas. However, Su Binglan thought otherwise. She knew Gongsun MO was highly talented since the Gongsun family was excellent with mechanisms.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and asked, “What do you think of these?”
She had asked Gongsun MO to carve toy soldiers and building blocks for Luo Jin’an’s sake. She wanted to help him with battle simulations.
“They’re perfect.” Luo Jin’an nodded.
Su Binglan could not help but smile when she saw her husband’s bright eyes. It felt good to be able to help her husband.
In the following days, Su Binglan got busy with her plans. However, a guest visited the Su family a few days later. The guest was Shen Mohen’s father, Shen Qiuhui.
Shen Qiuhui was thrilled when he received the news that his son had found Shen Qiuhua.
Shen Qiuhui was in disbelief and read his son’s letter several times. He cried tears of joy because he had finally found his step- sister.
He hurried through the night, wanting to visit Su Teng Village to see his sister. After all, he would have died long ago if not for her. Shen Qiuhua had saved his life and treated him well. It was Shen Qiuhui’s fondest memory.
He felt like he was in a trance when he arrived at Su Teng Village. He thought it did not look like a village at all. Instead, it was the most prosperous place he had ever seen.
He saw many people building houses and shops as he traversed the village. It was also the day Su Teng Market opened. The crowded market shocked Shen Qiuhui. It felt different from the village he had imagined.
Shen Qiuhui was puzzled but had no time to think. He only wanted to see his step-sister as soon as possible..

Shen Qiuhui became increasingly nervous as he approached Su Teng Village. As the patriarch of the Shen family, he had never felt so nervous. Still, he was about to see his step-sister after a long time, which excited him.
However, he wondered if Shen Qiuhua wanted to see him, too. Shen Mohen had not said much in the letter. He only mentioned finding Shen Qiuhua and provided an address.
Shen Qiuhui followed the address while his subordinate asked around before finally finding the house. His heart ached for his step- sister when she left to live here. However, he was amazed when he saw the massive house.
‘When was there such a big house in the village? It’s more extensive than the houses of wealthy families.’
Shen Qiuhui thought there was something strange about the current Su Teng Village. It was completely different from the one he had imagined. He tidied his clothes and knocked on the door.
Afterward, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Still, his palms were sweating.
Su Wenxiu was in the yard preparing his herbs when he heard the knocking. He walked out and asked, “Hello, sir. May 1 know who you’re looking for?”
People often visited the Su family. Some came to Su Wenxiu for advice, while others came to discuss business with Su Binglan. Therefore, the former was not surprised to see someone at the door.
However, the person before him was dressed luxuriously and exuded a dignified aura. Shen Qiuhui did not look like an ordinary villager. Instead, he looked like someone from a prominent family.
Ads by Pubfuture He looked at Su Wenxiu’s eyes, and the former’s heart skipped a beat. Shen Qiuhui realized Su Wenxiu’s eyes were similar to Shen Qiuhua’s.
Su Wenxiu looked at the man before him and thought his expression was strange. He wondered why the man looked so excited yet nervous.
Shen Qiuhui calmed himself and answered, “My name is Shen Qiuhui, Shen Mohen’s father. I’m looking for Shen Qiuhua. M-May I ask if my sister’s home?”
Su Wenxiu became wide-eyed.
‘Isn’t he the younger step-brother Mother mentioned? He’s the patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Qiuhui!’
“That’s my mother’s name.”
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao heard the muffled conversation at the door and came outside. Shen Qiuhua immediately recognized the man, and her eyes reddened when she saw him.
Shen Qiuhui trembled when he saw the woman before him.
‘I- lt’s her. It’s Qiuhua!’
“S-Sister…” Shen Qiuhui choked up as soon as he tried to speak. Even after so many years, he could recognize his step- sister at a glance, even if he only remembered what she looked like as a child. @@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua’s heart ached when she looked at the man before her and heard the word “sister.” Immediately after, she became teary-eyed and tried to control her emotions.
“Qiuhui…” The little boy Shen Qiuhua remembered had grown into a man with white hair. A tear rolled down her cheek when she saw his graying hair.
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture “S-Sister, it’s you!” Shen Qiuhui could only control his emotions. He felt he should not cry in front of his sister because he was an adult.
Su Fengmao returned to his senses and said, “Qiuhua, since that’s your step-brother, let him in. We can talk inside.”
Upon hearing his voice, Shen Qiuhua and Shen Qiuhui returned to their senses and went inside to talk. Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Wenxiu and said, “Come and welcome your uncle.”
“Hello, Uncle,” Su Wenxiu said.
Shen Qiuhui added, “You’re a handsome young man.”
He had brought many things, so he asked his subordinate to bring in all the gifts. Afterward, the older siblings chatted. Although many years had passed, the siblings looked young.
Their family’s genes were excellent, after all.
Shen Qiuhui had been looking forward to finally seeing his step- sister again. He was thrilled to know she was doing well.
Su Binglan returned from the construction site that evening. When she got home, she realized her uncle had visited. When she entered the house, she addressed him as her uncle.
Shen Qiuhui was delighted to hear it. He had heard much about Su Binglan from his sister. He did not expect Su Binglan to be so capable. As an uncle, he felt incredibly proud of Su Binglan.
Shen Qiuhui wanted to restore Shen Qiuhua’s status as the eldest daughter of the Shen family. That way, the Su siblings’ would have more honorable statuses.
He only wanted to treat his sister and her children well. After all, he could not have become the head of the Shens without Shen Qiuhua.
Ads by Pubfuture However, Shen Qiuhua felt the situation in the capital was too complicated. She did not want to return to the capital nor want others to know her true identity.
She felt content living in Su Teng Village without anyone knowing her true identity. Although Shen Qiuhui wanted his sister to return to the Shen family, he respected her wishes.
He would be happy as long as his sister was happy.
Shen Qiuhui even brought banknotes for Shen Qiuhua when he came. However, Shen Qiuhua incessantly refused them. Then, she told him about her family’s businesses.
Shen Qiuhui was shocked when he heard about the family’s businesses. He was even in disbelief.
Later, Shen Qiuhua told him she would give him a tour of the village the next day. Shen Mohen and Su Wenwu only returned when it was time for dinner.
The latter had been busy with the spicy hotpot restaurant over the past few days, and Shen Mohen helped him. Shen Mohen also wanted to learn more from Su Wenwu.
Although Shen Mohen was a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley, he knew he would inherit his family’s business someday. Since he would need to manage the family business, he wanted to learn some management skills from Su Wenwu.
Shen Mohen had learned a lot after living with his aunt. The things he had learned were not in textbooks. Instead, he could only learn them by practicing.
Since opening a spicy hotpot restaurant required fewer resources, the shop renovation was much more straightforward. Therefore, Su Wenwu could open the restaurant soon.
When the two returned, Shen Mohen was shocked to see his father. However, he remembered sending a letter to his father and knew he would rush over immediately after reading it.
Still, he did not expect his father to arrive so quickly.
Shen Qiuhui looked at his son with surprise. He patted Shen Mohen’s shoulder and said, “You’ve changed a lot, son!”
Shen Mohen seemed much better, whether it was his mental health or complexion. His eyes were bright as if he had found something he was passionate about.
Shen Mohen excitedly said, “I’ve been living well here, Father. I feel like I’ve learned a bunch!”
Shen Qiuhui teased, “Is it better here than the capital and Legendary Medicine
Shen Mohen readily replied, “Of course! I’m not boasting. You’ll know after staying for a few days. By then, you’ll want to stay, too..”

Shen Qiuhui was stunned when he heard his son’s words. It simply meant Shen Mohen enjoyed living at his aunt’s place. The former looked at his son’s expression and felt he was much better than before.
‘It seems he has a great life here.’
Shen Qiuhui patted his son’s shoulder and said, “It looks like you love this place enough to spend the New Year here.”
Shen Mohen knew his father would scold him if he did not return for the New Year. On the contrary, Shen Qiuhui was delighted that his son had spent the holidays with Shen Qiuhua.
Therefore, he would not reprimand his son nor be angry or dissatisfied. Shen Qiuhui was thrilled that his son got to know Shen Qiuhua.
“Of course I did!” Shen Mohen replied, “I ate and slept well here, especially since it’s so festive. I now understand why you always think of Aunt Qiuhua.”
Shen Mohen might not have understood his father and aunt’s kinship in the past. After staying at the Su family’s house for a while, he finally understood what a true sense of kinship was about.
He enjoyed the warmth and liveliness of his aunt’s house, especially since Shen Qiuhua was kind, gentle, and passionate about her family.
‘If I had a sister like Aunt Qiuhua, I’d miss her too.’
Kinship like this was rare for a prominent family, especially a large one, These days, most prominent families schemed against each other, only considering benefits between each other. It was exhausting to live in such an environment.
Ads by Pubfuture However, Shen Mohen did not feel that way when staying at his aunt’s house. He felt relaxed and welcomed instead.
Shen Qiuhui’s heart was full of warmth, saying, “It’s good that you understand.’
He could not explain certain things to his son. Still, his son finally understood kinship, making Shen Qiuhua feel gratified.
While the father-son duo chatted, Su Wenwu and Su Bingland had a good impression of Shen Qiuhui. Although the man looked dignified, his expression was kind and gentle.
Moreover, he came bearing plenty of gifts when he visited. He brought expensive gifts that he had chosen with care.
Since the Su family had an important guest, Su Binglan decided to cook dinner.
Shen Mohen became excited when he realized his cousin would prepare dinner. His eyes lit up as he said, “Father, you’re in luck tonight. Cousin Binglan will cook dinner for us. Her cooking skills are unparalleled. It’s a privilege to eat Cousin Binglan’s cooking.”
Shen Mohen could not stop bragging about his cousin’s cooking.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhui grew even more puzzled. After all, his son had never praised anyone like that.
‘Mohen has always been a picky eater. The food must be delicious since he speaks so highly of Binglan’s cooking.
Shen Qiuhui could not wait to try the food.
After talking to his father, Shen Mohen followed Su Binglan to help in the kitchen. Su Binglan said, “Since Uncle Qiuhui is here, we should prepare more dishes.’
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture “I’ll help you,” Shen Mohen said enthusiastically.
He was no longer as clueless in the kitchen as before. He could cut vegetables and even cook simple meals now. Shen Mohen did not think he needed to avoid the kitchen like most men did.
‘When I participate in cooking, I’d feel incredibly accomplished when eating.’
Su Binglan noticed Shen Mohen’s expression and smiled, saying, “All right, you can start the fire then.”
Shen Mohen said, “l can also help cut the vegetables if you want, Cousin Binglan.
“That’s okay; I can ask Jin’an to cut them. His knife skills are exceptional.”
Shen Mohen looked at Luo Jin’an. The former could only agree. After all, Luo Jin’an possessed impressive martial arts skills, and his knife skills were even better.
Luo Jin’an cut the vegetables neatly. Even the thickness of each cut would be consistent. Moreover, he worked quickly, as if painting a work of art. Of course, Shen Mohen also knew his cousin-in-law was the legendary Wei
Jin’an.
He did not expect Luo Jin’an to only be good at martial arts and leading troops to war—he was also excellent at cutting vegetables.
Shen Mohen wanted to showcase his knife skills but could only sigh and rub his nose before Luo Jin’an. The former said, “All right, I’ll start the fire.”
While Su Fengmao and his wife chatted with Shen Qiuhui in the hall, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin went to the kitchen to help Su Binglan.
Ads by Pubfuture Many recipes flashed through Su Binglan’s mind as she planned to make more dishes tonight. After some thought, she knew what to make. She told Su
Wenzhe, “Big Brother, please get me a lamb leg and a few radishes.”
‘Lamb leg and radishes?’
Su Wenzhe was slightly puzzled, asking, “What are you cooking, Sister? I don’t remember you using lamb legs in your previous dishes.” @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan’s eyes glittered as she said, “There’s a dish I want to make from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. It’s roasted lamb leg with radish.” Su Wenzhe happily said, ‘E lt must be delicious then.”
Liu Yinyin urged him, “Hurry and gather what your sister needs.”
“I’ll go right away.” Su Wenzhe ran out to gather the ingredients.
The house had a cellar and a warehouse. The family typically used the cellar to store some meat during the winter so that it would last longer. They had stored the lamb legs for the New Year.
Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu looked at their sister with anticipation. Meanwhile, Su Binglan had grown accustomed to their gazes. They always looked at her that way whenever she cooked something new.
She thought they were not looking at her. Instead, they were only thinking about the food. Still, she was delighted to cook for her family as she enjoyed the process.
Su Wenwu felt energized, saying, “Sister, just tell me what else you need to prepare, and I’ll help.”
Su Binglan looked at him and said, “l also want to make braised pork with preserved vegetables. I need a pork belly and some preserved vegetables for the dish. Could you bring me a pound of pork belly?”
“Okay, I’ll get it,” Su Wenwu readily replied. He had never eaten braised pork, so he was excited to taste it. Since Su Binglan had said it would contain pork belly, he knew what it could taste like.
Su Binglan had not even cooked the food yet, but Su Wenwu was already hungry just thinking about it. The former also wanted to make braised
chestnut chicken wings.
The dish required chicken wings, so Liu Yinyin went to get them for her sister-in-law. Su Binglan also prepared to make fried loofah with eggs, which was a simple side dish.
Knowing she would make this dish, Luo Jin’an helped to cut the loofah and beat the eggs. It was also more efficient for Su Binglan if she made that dish first.
Soon, she finished cooking the fried loofah with eggs. Even her simplest side dishes were delicious..

The dish smelled so good that they wanted to eat it. However, they held back and waited for everyone to taste it together. If they ate now, they could ruin their appetite.
The family realized the dishes Su Binglan made were dishes they had never seen before. Therefore, they could not wait to eat.
After bringing the lamb leg to his sister, Su Wenzhe stayed to watch how she cooked the lamb leg and radish dish.
Su Binglan noticed Su Wenzhe watching. As she started cooking, she said,
“You must chop the leg into pieces first.”
She motioned to demonstrate, but Luo Jin’an took the cleaver from her, saying, “Let me do it.”
He knew it was taxing to chop the lamb leg and did not want his wife to strain herself. Although Su Binglan could handle it, she still handed the cleaver to Luo Jin’an when she saw the worry in his eyes.
He took the cleaver and chopped the lamb leg into pieces.
Bang!
Everyone felt Luo Jin’an had moved too quickly as he had chopped the lamb leg in a flash. While he chopped the lamb, Su Binglan sliced the ginger, and Shen Mohen heated the pot. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan then poured vegetable oil into the pot and added the lamb and ginger slices when the oil heated up. After stir-frying the ingredients, and the lamb became tender, she added the seasoning sauce and older ingredients.
After adding water and bringing it to a boil, she began to stew it. Afterward, she could proceed with the next step.
Soon after, Su Binglan made Four Happiness Meatballs.
“Are Four Happiness Meatballs the same as the meatball dishes we usually eat?” Su Wenwu asked after returning with the pork belly. He was curious when he heard his sister say the dish’s name.
He was curious because there were meatballs in his hotpot restaurants. Moreover, the customers liked eating various kinds of meatballs. Once they cooked the meatballs in the pot, they would dip them in the sauce and then eat them. Most customers typically ate more mutton and meatballs.
“These meatballs are different from the hotpot ones,” Su Binglan explained, “The name and ingredient is better than the hotpot meatballs. Watch me make them. That way, you’ll know how to make them yourself.”
She would not avoid her family’s questions when she cooked. If they wanted to learn something, she would teach them.
Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up as she watched Su Binglan make the meatballs. She said, “Third Brother, get me a few more hard-boiled eggs, please,”
Su Wenwu went to the cabinet to get the eggs. They were the hard-boiled eggs the family had cooked in the morning.
Shen Qiuhua had a habit of cooking hard-boiled eggs in the morning so that the family could eat them whenever they wanted. Of course, the family did not always eat eggs. Even so, cooked eggs did not go rancid so quickly. The family could reheat them the following day if no one ate them.
Coincidentally, a few hard-boiled eggs were in the kitchen, so Su Wenwu took them to Su Binglan.
She looked at them and said, “That’s not enough. Could you cook a few more since we have a guest?”
Sy Binglan prepared more minced meat and added raw eggs and seasonings to the mixture before stirring them. After mixing them well, she peeled the hard-boiled eggs and wrapped them in the meat mixture.
Then, she added the sauce, sugar, ginger slices, scallions, star anise, and salt into the pot. Soon after, she added water, boiled it, and added the meatballs.
Afterward, she added more water, oil, and salt to the pot and blanched the vegetables in boiling water. She wanted to use broccoli but had none, so she could only blanch cabbage as a garnish.
She completed the dish and placed it on a large plate. Everyone looked at it and thought it looked perfect.
“So that’s what they look like.”
“No wonder you said it’s different from the hotpot meatballs.”
“Yeah, the hotpot meatballs only contain meat, but this one has an egg in the middle. I’ve never eaten such a thing.”
“The name sounds fun, too. Four Happiness Meatballs sounds interesting.”
None of them had eaten the dishes Su Binglan had made, so they were curious about what she would cook next.
However, she was not in a hurry to make other dishes. Instead, she cut the pork belly Su Wenwu had just brought and put it into cold water. Then, she added onions and ginger and cooked it in wine.
When the dish came to a boil, she let it simmer. Soon after, she drained the liquid. She added seasoning on the surface while the pork belly was still hot. The seasoning contained soy sauce and Su Binglan’s homemade sauce.
Afterward, she put oil in the pot and added the marinated pork belly to fry. When it was close to being fried, she removed it.
Everyone found the cooking process novel. Of course, the strong fragrance filled the kitchen. The family took a deep breath to savor it. The fragrance of food gave them a sense of comfort.
Then, Su Binglan made steamed pumpkin buns, fried meat, minced meat, tofu, and stir-fried meat with cabbage. She also made Eight Treasures Porridge. The sky had darkened when she finally finished cooking.
Although the others had helped Su Binglan, each dish took a specific amount of time to complete. Fortunately, she had finished cooking.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhui was still chatting with his sister and her husband in the hall. He told Shen Qiuhua about everything that had happened in the Shen family over the years.
Shen Qiuhua’s heart ached for her step-brother. She did not expect him to have experienced so much. Fortunately, Shen Qiuhui had taken over the family. No one dared to challenge him. Shen Qiuhua was relieved that her step-brother was the head of the family.
Shen Qiuhui smelled a fragrance as he spoke. Shen Qiuhui thought he was hallucinating, but he felt the fragrance was too strong as he sniffed. Although he was not hungry initially, the fragrance boosted his appetite.
He wondered if someone had cooked something delicious. He was in disbelief when Shen Mohen told him about the food. After all, he was in a village, not the capital.
However, Shen Qiuhui realized his son was not exaggerating when he smelled the fragrance.
Shen Qiuhua smelled the fragrance and said, “It seems Binglan and the others have almost finished cooking. We can eat in a while. Qiuhui, you should stay and try our farm-to-table dishes.”
Shen Qiuhui was stunned.
‘Is it really farm-to-table? Why does it smell better than the food I eat in the restaurants in the capital?’
At that moment, Shen Mohen came to the hall and said, “Cousin Binglan says it’s time to eat.”
“All right, let’s eat,” Shen Qiuhua said happily.
Su Fengmao got down from the brick platform and motioned to bring the table to the brick platform.
Shen Mohen stopped him and said, “I’ll do it, Uncle Fengmao. You should rest. ”
He placed the table on the brick platform as he spoke..

Soon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin brought the dishes to the table. Rich aromas spread throughout the hall. The Su family had grown accustomed to it. They smiled as they smelled the fragrance.
However, Shen Qiuhui felt his eyes were playing tricks on him as he looked at the table full of food. He had never seen such dishes before, and they all smelled good.
Just the smell was enough to whet his appetite. He only wanted to see his sister when he came. He did not think about eating because he did not feel hungry on the way. However, he was hungry now.
Shen Qiuhua handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, “Hurry up and eat. I remember you weren’t picky about food when we were children.”
Although she did not want to restore her identity as the young lady of the Shen family, she was thrilled to see her step-brother. She also wanted him to taste her daughter’s homemade food.
Shen Qiuhui looked at his step-sister and said, “Those don’t look like farm-to-table dishes. These can compare to the signature dishes of a restaurant in the capital.”
Shen Qiuhua replied, “These are homemade dishes. Eat as much as you want and make yourself at home. Don’t be an outsider.”
“All right.” Shen Qiuhui felt a warmth in his heart when he heard his sister’s words.
Although unfamiliar with this place and the dishes, he felt like he had returned to his childhood with Shen Qiuhua beside him. He felt a sense of security. Shen Qiuhua and Shen Mohen were the closest to him without his parents.
Shen Qiuhui was genuinely happy now that he finally met his niece and nephews.
‘These are my relatives.’ @@novelbin@@
Shen Mohen became emotional when he looked at his father’s expression. Shen Qiuhui used to be reserved, but he was like a child in front of Shen Qiuhua.
As everyone sat around the table, Shen Qihua first picked up some food for
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhui, saying, “Try this and see how it tastes.”
Shen Qiuhui felt sad when he looked at the food that Shen Qiuhua had placed in his bowl. He recalled his childhood. He was a child of a concubine, and his mother had died long ago.
The Shen family did not welcome him, and even the servants bullied him. His illegitimate brothers also mocked and harassed him. Shen Qiuhui often went hungry and cold, but he was young and could not protect himself.
He had also almost died several times, but Shen Qiuhua saved him, gave him food and clothes, and protected him. He constantly trembled in fear.
Shen Qiuhua always put food in his bowl for him to eat more. Shen Qiuhui felt warm when he recalled those memories.
“Sister…” Shen Qiuhui choked with sobs as tears welled in his eyes.
Shen Mohen had never seen his father so emotional. He was stunned. His father had always been stern and indifferent, and Shen Mohen was always in awe of his father.
However, Shen Mohen realized his father also had a fragile side when he looked at the older man. Still, Shen Qiuhui might only reveal his fragile side to Shen Qiuhua.
She looked at her crying step-brother and remembered how he would cry when others bullied him. Shen Qiuhua felt terrible, and her eyes reddened. She said, “Eat as much as you want. I’ll make you whatever you want to eat.
“I’ve learned to cook many dishes. I remember you liked eating pastries when you were young. You can stay here, you know?”
Shen Qiuhui suppressed his emotions and said, “I’ve made a fool of myself before you. I can’t bear to trouble you.”
“That’s okay. 1 1 m always happy to cook for my family.” Shen Qiuhua kept putting food in his bowl as she spoke, urging him to eat.
Shen Qiuhui wiped his tears and began to eat. His eyes lit up after just a few bites. “Sister, this dish is incredibly delicious, and the porridge is delicious, too!”
At that moment, he no longer thought about his childhood. His attention was solely on the food. Initially, he ate very slowly. He did not need Shen Qiuhua to put food in his bowl anymore.
He picked the food himself and ate quickly because the food was so tasty. He had tried many dishes in the capital but never had anything like the ones Su Binglan made.

Shen Mohen looked at his father and wondered if he was like this when he first came to his aunt’s house for dinner. It seemed he was even more exaggerated than his father.
Shen Mohen remembered overeating that day because of how delicious Su Binglan’s food was. He did not like eating cabbage in the past, but for some reason, he thought the ones his cousin made were delicious.
He felt that even the rice was fragrant. That was because Su Binglan had used her spiritual spring water when cooking the rice. Naturally, the food she cooked with spiritual spring water would taste different.
Even if it were just rice, the family would find it fragrant. Moreover, spiritual spring water was easy to digest and could improve one’s health.
Not only did Shen Qiuhui enjoy the dishes, but Su Wenzhe and the others thought so. They had never tried such dishes, so they felt they tasted different from what they had grown accustomed to eating.
Meanwhile, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai ate obediently.
Su Wenwu even forgot about his uncle’s presence and said with satisfaction, “Ah, these are so tasty!’
He constantly picked up more of the dishes and ate them with the rice, his mouth bulging.
Shen Qiuhua could not help but laugh when she saw her children stuffing their faces. She picked up more food for her step-brother, like when they were children.
Su Fengmao looked at Shen Qiuhua and felt a little left out. She did not even offer him food or put any in his bowl. Still, he was delighted to see how happy his wife was.
Shen Qiuhui stuffed his mouth with food, saying, “Sister, these dishes are even more delicious than those I’ve eaten in the capital.”
There was one more thing he did not tell them. He thought the dishes in the imperial kitchen might not be as good as Su Binglan’s.
Su Fengmao even took his hidden wine and said, “This is the wine my daughter brewed herself. It’s especially delicious. Here, try some, Brother-in-law.”
Shen Qiuhui was stunned when he smelled the wine’s fragrance. He felt he must be hallucinating again.
‘My niece brewed this herself? Qiuhua’s life is different from anything I could’ve imagined. She lives a better life here than the noble ladies in the capital. Still, I’m happy she’s doing well. Everything before me seems mystical and mysterious.’
“Your daughter brewed her own wine?”
“Yes, she did. If you like it, we’ll give you a few more jars to bring home.” Shen Qiuhua was generous toward her younger step-brother.
When Su Fengmao toasted Shen Qiuhui, the latter did not overthink it and drank the wine. He was so shocked at its taste that he almost stood up..

“What’s wrong?” Shen Qiuhua looked at her step-brother worriedly.
Shen Qiuhui hurriedly waved, saying, “No, it’s nothing. I just didn’t expect this wine to taste so good.”
He was so excited that he teared up. He took a deep breath and took another sip. This time, he did not gulp it down. Instead, he savored the flavor. “This is too delicious! ”
Shen Qiuhui could not care less about losing his composure. After all, he was genuine about the wine being delicious. He enjoyed drinking wine and would buy the best ones he could find.
However, those wines were nothing compared to the one Su Binglan had brewed. The wine he drank now was exceptional and second to none.
Su Fengmao laughed heartily. “You can drink more if you like it,
Brother-in-law. Here, I’ll refill your glass.”
He was forthright and hurriedly filled Shen Qiuhui’s glass. Su Fengmao felt good having someone to drink with. He was delighted and could not help but drink more.
Fortunately, the two older men were good drinkers. They ate while talking and drinking. Su Fengmao bragged about his daughter despite himself, “My daughter brewed this wine herself. She made many flavors, and this is just one of them.
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture “She also made medicinal wine, but the production of it is more complex, so she only made a few jars. She says medicinal wines can strengthen the body.
My waist and legs used to hurt, but not anymore.”
Shen Qiuhui looked at the wine jar. His eyes lit up, and he became excited.@@novelbin@@
The family ate until late at night, but they were all happy. After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to their rooms to rest.
However, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an were not hurrying to sleep. Luo Jin’an placed firewood under the bed to warm it up while Su Binglan wrote her script under candlelight.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for the Lantern Festival. The weather would soon warm up. By then, the construction team would have finished building the grand theater.
Soon, the crew could perform in the theater or the streets whenever Su Teng Market opened. To be accurate, Su Binglan had to complete her script in advance for the crew to rehearse it.
Also, she would need to find management talents to open more factories and businesses. However, no family member could help her because they helped manage other things. It would also take time to train management talents.
Su Binglan sat at her desk with her chin resting on her hand. She was focused and thinking about something, so she failed to notice Luo Jin’an beside her.
He looked at Su Binglan’s expression and asked softly, “What are you thinking? You look like you have something on your mind.”
Su Binglan returned to her senses when she heard her husband’s voice, She said, “I considered building more shops and factories in the commercial street. I need someone to manage everything, but I don’t have many people. “Even if there are people, I can’t train them so quickly. I still need time to do that. I have much to do now, and training managers take too much time. It’ll be much more convenient if we finish building the management college.”
Luo Jin’an raised a brow when he heard that. He already had an idea. He stroked Su Binglan’s hair and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s get some rest first, okay?”
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture His voice was gentle and low, delightful to hear. It could quickly soothe Su
Binglan’s heart. She nodded, saying, “All right, let’s sleep.”
She knew if she stayed up all night, Luo Jin’an would stay up with her, too. She did not want her husband to stay up late and work so hard.
As the two lay on the heated brick bed, Su Binglan thought of something and said, “Uncle Qiuhui didn’t recognize you.”
During dinner, she feared Shen Qiuhui would recognize Luo Jin’an as Wei Jin’an, but it seemed he did not.
Luo Jin’an said, ‘Your uncle is the head of the Shen family. They’ve been keeping a low profile all these years, so they barely have contact with other families or forces.
“He only manages the family’s business well instead of contacting others. I’ve never seen him out and about before.’
“That’s true. You mostly guarded the border or fought in wars back then. Still,
Mohen recognized you, even though you rarely appeared in the capital.” “Yeah,” Luo Jin’an said, “I’ve never seen him and only realized he’s the young master of the Shen family and a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley.”
Su Binglan was slightly surprised. After some thought, she blinked and said, “Perhaps he saw you in the crowd when you returned to the capital in triumph.”
Usually, the general would ride his horse and bring his soldiers into the city whenever they won a battle and returned to the court. At that time, commoners would gather to watch.
Ads by Pubfuture It was like watching their heroes return. It was like Lin Zheng treating Wei Jin’an as his idol, even though they had never met.
“Perhaps,” Luo Jin’an said.
When he brought his men back to the capital, many commoners would gather to watch. However, he did not even look into the crowd.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s indifferent expression and whispered, “I saw you at the teahouse once.”
Upon hearing that, Luo Jin’an’s eyes glinted. “When was that?”
“When I was ten, you won your first battle and returned to court.” That was when Su Binglan lived as Lan Ruobing, meaning Wei Jin’an was also ten.
At that time, Wei Jin’an followed his father and brother to war. He had already displayed extraordinary combat skills and won a battle when he was just ten. When the news reached the capital, it shocked everyone.
That was why people called him the God of War. He was a natural prodigy who had never lost until the Wei family army collapsed three years ago. It was not that they had failed, but someone had set them up and betrayed them.
Su Binglan did not want to discuss Luo Jin’an’s sad past. However, she had recalled her memories from that time.
Luo Jin’an smiled gently, saying, “I didn’t notice you watching us from the teahouse.’
“That’s right. Many people were looking at you from the teahouse, but you didn’t look at us.’
Luo Jin’an was already cold and noble yet charming when he was ten. Nonetheless, Lan Ruobing did not overthink it then. She was just happy for him.
“When I was ten, huh?” Luo Jin’an muttered, his expression dazed. It felt like a long time ago to him.
“Yeah, you went to war when you were only ten. I feel sorry for you, Jin’an.”
Luo Jinan closed his eyes. “The Wei family is loyal; too many have sacrificed themselves to protect the country. My grandfather and my uncles also died on the battlefield.’
The Wei family had built their reputation with bloodshed and sacrifices.
However, the emperor feared such loyalty. Luo Jin’an felt it was ironic..

Su Binglan did not know how to comfort Luo Jin’an, so she hugged him. It seemed that was the only way to comfort him.
Luo Jin’an sensed her worry and hugged her back. He then stroked her hair and said, “I’m okay.”
Having Su Binglan beside him was already the greatest comfort to him. If not for her, his world would have been full of hatred. Although he was in Su Teng Village, he had always been aware of the news in the outside world.
Luo Jin’an had already set up a net and was waiting for revenge. He not only wanted revenge, but he also wanted to clear his familys name. He would not allow the Wei family army to bear the burden of a groundless crime.
Su Binglan leaned into his chest and could hear his robust heartbeat. She could also feel his emotions. At that moment, her eyes flashed with determination. She knew she had to help her husband.
The young couple was silent for a while before Su Binglan changed the topic, “Does the Shen family have many properties?”
Luo Jin’an’s voice would involuntarily soften whenever he faced Su Binglan. He said, “They have many businesses in the capital area. They also have many shops, like clothing, jewelry, grain, etcetera.”
Su Binglan became wide-eyed when she heard that. She had an idea, saying, “That’s a lot of businesses.’
Luo Jin’an could guess his wife’s thoughts. “Do you want to collaborate with your uncle?”
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an in surprise. “You guess my thoughts?”
She wondered how he had guessed it so accurately.
“Yeah, 1 did.” Luo Jin’an looked at her in amusement.
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan admitted, “l did consider that. Some of our enemies are still in the capital, right? We can earn money from doing business if we get more of our people there.
“On the other hand, they can help us gather information. They can be of use at critical times.’
She also planned to go to the capital because there were some grudges she had to settle on her own. Hers and Lan Ruozhu’s physical conditions were not poor since birth. Someone had deliberately framed her and poisoned her brother.@@novelbin@@
“I’ll support you in everything you do,” Luo Jin’an said gently. He planned to transfer a few of his subordinates to work under Su Binglan.
The following day, Shen Qiuhui had an excellent state of mind during breakfast. Shen Qiuhua asked, “How did you sleep last night, Qiuhui?”
Shen Qiuhui sighed, “No wonder Mohen didn’t want to come home, I slept and ate too well last night because the brick bed was nice and warm. Sister, why is the blanket so thin yet so warm?”
He had studied the blanket and pillow for a long time before sleeping. He felt warm and comfortable and even slept soundly.
The Shen family had started their businesses long ago. They also had a fabric shop, clothing shop, and bedding shop. Shen Qiuhui had seen many bedding products when inspecting his shops.
However, he had never seen a pillow and blanket like the ones the Su family had. He found it strange.
Without waiting for Shen Qiuhua to answer, Shen Mohen explained, “Dad, I know. Those are duvets and down pillows. They’re warm and comfortable, right?”
“Duvet?” Shen Qiuhui had never heard about such a thing. “Are they made with feathers or something?”
He had only heard of cotton blankets. A good-quality cotton blanket would be warmer and more comfortable to wear. The blanket’s quality depended on the cotton.
Shen Qiuhui had never heard of duvets. If there were such a thing, he would have known about it long ago. That was because such a blanket would do well in the market.
Shen Qiuhua looked at him and explained, “We used duck and goose feathers to make those duvets. I forgot to give you one yesterday. I’ll give you one later. Oh, we have sweaters, too. I set one aside for you.”
When Shen Mohen visited, Shen Qiuhua knew her step-brother would come sooner or later. Therefore, she prepared a down jacket, sweater, and a pair of sweatpants for him.
Shen Qiuhui felt touched. He did not expect Shen Qiuhua to prepare those things for him. However, he was in disbelief when he heard they had made the duvet with duck and goose feathers.
“Aren’t feathers useless? I didn’t know you could use them to make blankets and be light and warm.”
Shen Qiuhui was responsible for everything in the Shen family. As the family’s head, he had seen many things. Still, he was shocked at that moment. He felt these new things had subverted his previous understanding of bedding products.
Shen Mohen was not wearing a down jacket since he was indoors. Instead, he wore a sweater and sweatpants. He removed his sweater and showed it to Shen Qiuhui. “Dad, this is a sweater Aunt Quihua gave me. I have two sets with different styles to wear, but they’re both soft.”
Shen Qiuhui was stunned when he saw the sweater. He typically wore clothes made from fabric. Even if it was thick, it did not contain cotton or wool. However, the sweater was thick and warm to the touch.
He exclaimed, “If we sell these things in the capital, they’ll sell like hotcakes! We might even struggle to keep up with the demand!”
At that moment, he looked at the sweater like a bag of money. After all, many wealthy people lived in the capital. In particular, high-ranking officials and nobles like novel things like these, not to mention the sweater could keep them warm during the winter.
Shen Qiuhui had never seen such clothes in the capital.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan had collaborated with many merchants, but not ones from the capital. That was because she wanted to keep a low profile in the past. She did not want to expose her identity.
But there was no need to worry too much now because Lan Ruozhu had recovered. He now had the ability and strength to fight against the Imperial Court. Besides, Su Binglan had planned to visit the capital to take revenge.
Therefore, she wanted to sell her products and open a factory in the capital to earn money there.
Shen Qiuhui considered selling these duvets in the capital. However, he said nothing about his ideas because they belonged to his step-sister. His heart was in turmoil.
‘This place completely differs from the Su Teng Village I had imagined. They have things here that aren’t even available in the capital.’
After breakfast, Shen Qiuhua passed the sweater, sweatpants, and down jacket she had prepared to her step-brother. They were just the right size, making him feel warm and fuzzy.
‘This sweater can even warm my heart.’
“Thank you, Sister.” Shen Qiuhui smiled happily, just like when he was young. He never had nice clothes to wear during childhood, yet Shen Qiuhua always prepared clothes for him.
During winter that year, he wore the clothes his step-sister had prepared for him so he did not catch a cold..
