The Sickly General’s Wife With A Spatial Ability Is Loved By All

Chapter 91 - 91 Tacit Understanding

91 Tacit Understanding

Shen Qiuhua naturally hoped her eldest son would return someday.

There had been no news of Su Wenzhe since he left to work as a long-term laborer for the Zhu family, so Shen Qiuhua worried about him. However, the Su family could not gather ten taels of silver to reclaim Su Wenzhe.

Ten silver taels was not a small sum of money for ordinary villagers. Therefore, Shen Qiuhua was thrilled when her eldest son finally returned. Still, she was worried the Zhu family would come looking for him.

Hearing Liu Yinyin’s words, Shen Qiuhua finally reacted, “Binglan earned the ten silver taels?”

She believed her daughter could earn such an amount of silver and felt more at ease because she trusted her daughter’s capabilities.

“Yeah, she did. She’s my sister-in-law after all,” Liu Yinyin said.

Then Su Binglan came in from the outside and said, “I sold two recipes to the Drunken Could restaurant for two hundred silver taels. With that, I bought some medicinal herbs and brought Wenzhe home. I also paid off the money we owed the doctor and saved the remaining ten silver taels to do some business.”

Su Binglan always thought making money was the right thing to do. The entire family sighed with relief when they heard Su Binglan sold her recipes. Still, they worried about her.

Meanwhile, Su Fengmao looked at her daughter with gratification and felt she was getting increasingly influential throughout the town and village.

…

When Su Binglan brewed the medicine for Su Wenzhe, no one suspected anything. Only Luo Jin’an looked at the pot and smelled the medicine. He seemed in deep thought and revealed conflicted emotions in his eyes.

After lunch, Su Binglan also made Luo Jin’an a decoction.

“This is the medicine for you.”

Luo Jin’an did not say anything and immediately drank the medicine.

Su Binglan was a little surprised to see Luo Jin’an so happy. She asked softly, “I didn’t expect you to drink it when I told you to. Aren’t you afraid the medicine might be faulty or that I poisoned it?”

Luo Jin’an raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Binglan. “Would you have done that?”

Su Binglan rested her chin on her hand by the table and said, “Of course, I wouldn’t. You are my husband. I Won’t harm you.”

“Okay.” Luo Jin’an only said one word, and Su Binglan could not even guess what he was thinking. But it felt good that Luo Jin’an trusted her.

Luo Jin’an did not ask Su Binglan about her medical skills, while Su Binglan did not ask Luo Jin’an about his past. The two had a tacit understanding not to probe each other’s secrets.

…

Since Su Wenzhe needed someone to be around to care for him, Liu Yinyin volunteered to stay home. Therefore, Su Binglan prepared to go to town in the afternoon alone.

However, Shen Qiuhua was worried.

Su Binglan said, “Mother, I can handle myself.”

Su Binglan believed Lin Zheng and his lackeys would be there to help when she went to town.

“We can’t let you go to town alone. We won’t be at ease since you have to walk home alone at night.”

Unexpectedly, Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll accompany her.”

Su Binglan was stunned when she heard that, but looking at his expression, she knew he was not joking. She did not intend to invite Luo Jin’an along, but after some thought, she decided to let him go with her.

Still, she did not need Luo Jin’an to do anything besides stand aside. That way, she could address the rumors about her. No one would say she abused her husband anymore.

Su Binglan did not care about her reputation, but it was necessary if she wanted her family to do business in town next time.

Just like that, the couple left and headed to town.

Luo Jin’an carried a basket of candied chestnuts, while Su Binglan carried a basket of potatoes, ready to deliver to Drunken Cloud.
