Luo Jin’an had an indescribable feeling in his heart as he looked at the healthy and lively Su Binglan. He was delighted and wanted to protect her. He would not allow anyone to hurt her.
Luo Jin’an did not say much then, but his wife looked at him as if she could read his emotions. Many emotions suddenly surged through Su Binglan’s heart, and she looked like she wanted to vent them.
Luo Jin’an looked at her and asked lowly, “What’s wrong?”
“l want to hug you.”
Luo Jin’an raised his brow, and his heart softened.” All right, come here.”
He reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. Su Binglan leaned into his embrace, her heart pounding. It was a simple hug, but their hearts ached for each other in the past. The young couple had sacrificed and experienced plenty of hardships.
The two felt reborn and could live a good life together. They would also protect each other. The young couple was silent then, but the silence was better than words.
That night, Old Madam Yang ate the medicine Su Binglan had made for her. After Su Binglan treated her with acupuncture, Old Madam Yang slept incredibly well.
The older woman’s legs would cramp and feel uncomfortable in the past, and she would constantly wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes, she would wake up several times and never sleep well.
However, she slept peacefully this time.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoxun felt a cooling sensation on her face after applying the ointment. She was excited but also a little worried and nervous. Various emotions surged in his heart, and she only fell asleep after midnight.
Yang Xiaoxun was cautious and dared not touch her face when she woke up the following morning. Still, she felt something suddenly fall off her face, landing on her blanket.
She could not see what it was since the sky was just starting to brighten. After a while, she noticed that it was a scab. She touched her face with trembling hands and felt a part of it had become smoother.
Yang Xiaoxun excitedly and nervously got off her brick bed that she almost fell off instead. Since the house had no mirrors, she looked at her reflection in a water basin.
She had not looked at her reflection since getting burned. However, she could still see her face whenever she went to the river to wash clothes. She knew how terrifying her face was.
Therefore, she was stunned when she looked at her reflection in the water basin. The burns on her face had scabbed over, and a large part had peeled off.
The area where the scab had fallen had become smooth and no longer looked burned. Instead, it looked a little dark red but was much better than before.
Yang Xiaoxun’s hands trembled as she gently caressed her face. She was so excited that she became teary-eyed.
The sky had already brightened when Old Madam Yang woke up. She was stunned since she usually woke up several times at night, unable to sleep properly.
However, she slept almost too well this time. It had been long since she had slept well, and her entire body felt more relaxed. When she got off her bed, she realized her leg no longer hurt when she walked. Moreover, her legs felt more robust now.
In the past, Old Madam Yang had no strength when walking and felt she could not move her legs. She had grown accustomed to limping. However, she felt her legs were full of strength this time.
She was so excited that she became speechless. She feared she was hallucinating and wanted to walk a little longer. She no longer limped since she was capable of walking normally.
Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun were grateful to the young couple. They prepared all their food to entertain Su Binglan and Luo Jin!an. However, the older woman and the young lady did not have much. They only had white flour and coarse-grain flour.
Su Binglan said she would cook, but Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun could not allow her to do so. Still, Su Binglan insisted. She used the coarse-grain flour to make pancakes with vegetables and sauces she had brought.
The grandmother and granddaughter ate the vegetable pancakes and felt it was too delicious. They did not expect someone to be able to use such humble ingredients to make something so delicious.
Su Binglan made more food with simple ingredients over the next few days.
She even used her instant noodles and dry chili noodles. Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun’s health improved after eating Su Binglan’s food.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an stayed with the grandmother-granddaughter duo for a few days to help them improve their health. A few days later, all the scabs on Yang Xiaoxun!s face fell off. Her face became smoother than ever.
The older woman’s hunched back became straighter, her legs were stronger, and she slept well. She also stopped limping.
The villagers were shocked when the duo walked around the village. Everyone suspected a miracle doctor had cured Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaosun. However, Old Niadam Yang locked her door before anyone could ask what had happened.
Later, Old Madam Yang and her granddaughter followed Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an to Su Teng Village. The duo wanted to move to Su Teng Village with their benefactors.
Su Binglan noticed they did not have much time left and hurried home. Then they took a carriage back to Su Teng Village. When they passed Tenghe Town, Su Binglan could feel the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year celebrations.
Many people were on the streets, shopping. They carried things of all sizes, making it evident they were buying New Year’s goods. Yang Xiaoxun had been curious and excited since entering the town, and Old Madam Yang was stunned.
‘Is this a town? Why is it so much different than ours? Our town area is relatively deserted compared to this one.’
Everyone’s mental outlook differed in Tenghe Town and Old Madam Yang noticed everyone was much happier here, with bright smiles as they walked around.
Moreover, everyone dressed differently from Old Madam Yang and Yang
Xiaoxun.
‘Don’t they feel cold from wearing such thin clothes? It’s winter, but they don’t look cold.’
Although the grandmother and granddaughter were curious, they said nothing. There were also people sitting in ox-drawn carriages. The area even looked wealthier than theirs.
Su Binglan was attentive and seemed to notice the duo’s doubts. She explained, “This is Tenghe Town. The streets are full of delicacies now. The market is east of the town, which will be more lively at night.”
Yang Xiaoxun looked at Su Binglan gratefully and said, “This place looks lovely. It’s much better and livelier than ours.”
She liked this place very much as it gave her a sense of security. Old Madam Yang was excited, too. She did not expect her and her granddaughter’s lives to take such a drastic turn.
‘It’s all thanks to our benefactors.’
The duo saw several large buildings from Tenghe Town to Su Teng Village. Moreover, people were coming in and out.
‘Is this where we’ll stay now?’
The grandmother and granddaughter seemed to have smelled alcohol and raised their brows. They thought it was fragrant..
