Chapter 114 - 114 Timely Rain

114 Timely Rain

Su Binglan thought about it carefully, but she did not feel she had said anything she should not have.

She wondered if the talk of traps triggered his anxiety and if he knew about traps before their conversation.

Luo Jin’an’s carving skills were undoubtedly not ordinary. Perhaps he had learned about traps from someone. It seemed that his identity was quite complicated.

Su Binglan knew her husband’s body could not withstand the torment, and she remembered that he had not slept well because he needed to take care of her.

!!

She hurriedly went to the box and got some herbs to brew. Then she gave it to Luo Jin’an and let him rest.

Afterward, Su Binglan looked at her kneaded dough and started to make her desserts. She used the two molds her husband made for several peach pastries and sesame seed biscuits. They were in the shapes of small fish and birds.

She had also planted many sweet potatoes in her pocket dimension, so she made sweet potato cakes with them.

The weather finally cleared up at noon, after Su Binglan had worked all morning. She tasted her desserts and thought they were scrumptious.

She put some into a basket and took them to her parent’s house for them to eat. On her way there, she could hear the villagers’ excited voices.

“The rainstorm last night helped out a lot. The well is full now!”

“Yeah, we put some big buckets in the courtyard, and they’re all full! The river is full too!”

“We haven’t had rain for months, but now there’s a lot of water in the east river.”

“Our crops are saved!”

“Yeah, now there’s a place to wash our clothes now that the rain has replenished the river.”

…

The ground was still wet, making it easier for the villagers to do their farming. The villagers gathered in groups of twos and threes to talk about last night’s rain and annual crop yields.

They all spoke with bright smiles on their faces.

Rainwater was crucial to farmers, and last night’s storm came at the perfect time. The villagers felt more relaxed because of it.

Everyone warmly greeted Su Binglan as she walked by.

“Are you going to your parent’s house again, Binglan?”

The villagers knew that Su Binglan’s temperament had improved exponentially, and they were happy for the Su family.

Su Binglan responded smilingly, “Yes, ma’am. I made some food, so I’m bringing them over for my parents.

Her parent’s old house was close to where she and Luo Jin’an lived, so she only needed to take a few steps before arriving.

She entered the courtyard and saw her parents busying themselves by grinding more soybeans.

Her big brother and sister-in-law were helping them while Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai peeled the soybeans.

Su Xuehai noticed his aunt, so he hurriedly stood and ran toward her. “Aunt Binglan, Aunt Binglan!”

Su Binglan had used her delicious food to gain the little boy’s trust. She went forward and held Su Xuehai’s hand. “I made some food for you again.”

Shen Qiuhua said, “Binglan, did you make more food?”

She had tasted several of her daughter’s dishes and knew whatever Su Binglan cooked would be delicious. She could not wait to see what her daughter made this time.

Su Binglan lifted the cloth on the basket and said, “Yes, mother. I plan to open a dessert shop, so I made some desserts. I didn’t bring much because I wanted you guys to have a little taste first. I’ll make more later and sell them in my shop.”

Liu Yinyin also walked over curiously to check it out. When she saw the exquisite desserts, she praised, “It looks so good that my mouth is watering!”
