Su Binglan’s expression turned even colder. “We must take revenge for your brother.’
Since she had a grudge against Chu Liuwu, she wanted to visit the capital. Previously, Shen Qiuhui had asked Su Binglan to stay with his family, but she declined.
Now, she wanted to stay with them for a while to lay her business foundation there and settle some scores.
Luo Jin’an nodded. ‘Yeah.”
He did not intend for his wife to know about it. However, he could only tell her because she insisted on knowing. “Bing, 1 don’t want you to be in danger,
understand?”
Su Binglan nodded and held his arm, saying, “l know. You know I’m capable of protecting myself, right?”
Luo Jin’an felt helpless. Even if he knew his wife’s capabilities, he still worried about her. He embraced Su Binglan and said, “l need to go somewhere tomorrow. ”
Su Binglan’s heart sank. “You’re leaving again?”
“Yes, there are some things I must take care of first.”
Part of his reason for leaving again involved the Black Shadow Pavilion. Luo Jin’an had planned to set off tonight, but he wanted to stay with Su Binglan for the Lantern Festival.
Su Binglan knew he had much on his shoulders, and she could not expect him to stay in Su Teng Village forever. Besides, she had to visit the capital soon.
Su Binglan leaned against Luo Jin’an’s chest silently. He patted her back to calm her emotions. Su Binglan thought of something and asked, “Do you know exactly where the Black Shadow Pavilion is?”
“They have many strongholds,” Luo Jin’an said, “They’ve changed throughout the years, so it’ll be challenging to locate them. Still, I’ll do everything possible to find them.”
“Okay.” Su Binglan was reluctant to sleep because she knew her husband would set off tomorrow. She cared about nothing else now as long as she could enjoy his company.
Therefore, the two only fell asleep when it was late at night.
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua did the same. They lay in their bed for a long time but did not sleep. Instead, they discussed what had happened that night. Su Fengmao turned to his wife and asked, “Can’t sleep?”
“Yeah, I can’t stop thinking about something.”
Su Fengmao hugged her and asked worriedly, “Are you thinking about what happened tonight? Are you afraid of me?”
Shen Qiuhua patted his arm and said, “That’s nonsense. Why would I be afraid of you? 1 just think what happened just now was unreal. 1 never expected you to have such extraordinary martial arts skills.
“You were amazing when you saved those children,” Shen Qiuhua’s eyes lit up as she spoke.
Su Fengmao said, ‘Yeah, I didn’t expect that either. It’s good that you’re not afraid of me.’
“I’m just worried about you. After all, we’re older and have a family.”
Su Fengmao felt his wife’s words were sweet. He chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. I can keep our family safe with my Qinggong skills.”
Shen Qiuhua laughed, “The whole village will be safer with you around. I always wondered why you were so strong when you worked in the fields. I finally realize it’s because you possess internal energy.”
Confused, She clicked her tongue and continued, “Why don’t I remember being as healthy as I am now? I suddenly had that impression. Is it because our lives have improved, and we can eat and sleep better?”
Su Fengmao agreed, “Indeed, that must be why we feel much healthier now.”
The older couple did not know they felt healthier because of Su Binglan’s spiritual spring water.
Most went to bed late that night. However, they had to return to work the following day after the month-long break Su Binglan had given them. Everyone spent their holidays with their families, especially those with children.
The families did not have to worry about their harvests and lack of food during the holidays because they had full-time jobs to afford healthy and relaxing lives.
Meanwhile, Song Yi e s house looked new and improved. He had recently renovated it with red bricks and even fixed the annoying leak in his roof.
The family had faced many challenges in the past. Mr. Songs legs were not good, and Mrs. Song was in poor health. The family relied on chopping and selling pine trees to earn money.
However, Song Yi could earn a decent living for his family when he started working for Su Wenwu. Also, Mrs. Song worked at the embroidery shop, improving the family’s life further.
The family had saved plenty of money and was willing to buy meat and shop for New Year’s goods. The family had a good New Year. Moreover, Song Yi had gotten engaged to Liu Qiao.
Everyone in Northern Mountain Village envied the Songs. During the New Year, the family could afford better food for their guests. The Songs did not interact much in the past because many looked down on Song Yi and his parents.
These days, the family mingled enthusiastically because Song Yi had a promising future.
Song Yi saw his mother packing and said, “Mother, it’s already so late. You have to wake up early tomorrow for work, you know.”
Mrs. Song smiled and said truthfully, “I’m not tired yet. I’ve been resting for almost a month now. I’m excited to return to work tomorrow.”
She felt energetic considering the money and bonuses she could earn at the embroidery shop.
Song Yi was just as excited as his mother. He made a living delivering goods and stinky tofu. Song Yi also had plenty of free time, so he did not regard work as a burden and enjoyed it instead.
He felt his days were fulfilling, especially since he could visit his fiancee often. The two had gotten engaged before the new year and would get married at the beginning of spring.
Mrs. Song said, “Come to think of it, you should thank Wenwu for helping you improve our lives. Since we’re well off now, we managed to heal your father’s legs. We also had so much food during the holidays.”
The family could never afford glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s and tangyuan during the previous Lantern Festivals. However, Song Yi bought plenty for his whole family this year..
