Chapter 3

She Was a Top-Notch Woman

Su Binglan thought Luo Jin’an’s eyes were too intimidating and beautiful. Whenever he focused on a person, his eyes could charm them.

Su Binglan lowered her head, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, blocking Luo Jin’an’s seemingly inquisitive gaze.

Luo Jin’an said softly, “Well, you must be hungry after waking up. I’ll go make you something to eat.” With that, Luo Jin’an got up and walked into the courtyard.

Su Binglan was relieved when she saw Luo Jin’an leave. It would be hard for her to answer if Luo Jin’an questioned her.

However, according to her predecessor’s memories, Luo Jin’an was usually silent. He seldom spoke if there was nothing significant to say.

Just as Su Binglan thought of her predecessor’s memories, she heard coughing coming from the courtyard. It was Luo Jin’an. The sound of his coughing was heart-wrenching.

Bang!

Su Binglan heard something fall. She wondered if her ears deceived her.

“W-What’s wrong, Luo Jin’an? Are you okay?”

“This boy is hard to handle. He is diligent, sensible, and polite. But Su Binglan is none of those things.”

“What should we do? Did he faint from exhaustion? Quick, move him into the house!”

When Luo Jin’an passed out, the villagers who passed by surrounded him and moved him into the house.

The neighbors looked at Su Binglan, sitting on the bed, leisurely drinking water, with conflicted expressions.

The villagers were simple-minded and usually helped each other. Even though they didn’t like Su Binglan’s habits, they didn’t say a word about it.

They only tried to convince her to help, “Binglan, Luo Jin’an is your husband. I know that your family purchased him, but you should cherish him.”

“Exactly. When you fell into the water, your mother was busy and had to take care of your father. Luo Jin’an took care of you, even while hunting. He even sold the prey he hunted for money so that he could get you some medicine.”

“Your three brothers aren’t home either. Your husband can only rely on himself. You can’t do stupid things like this anymore!”

The villagers had heard some of the rumors circulating in the town, but it wasn’t convenient for them to say anything. However, Luo Jin’an had fainted, and the villagers felt the need to convince Su Binglan to help her husband.

Su Binglan noticed the villagers’ enthusiasm and sensed a strange feeling in her heart. She said, “Thank you, everyone. What happened in the past is indeed my fault. I will make sure that my husband has a better life.”

The villagers heard Su Binglan’s words and felt that she wasn’t such a terrible person and that she had finally understood her mistakes.

“That’s great, especially coming from you. If that’s the case, your parents and brothers will no longer have to worry about you.”

Su Binglan was a precious child of the Su family. Her grandparents, parents, and brothers would spoil her. Since the Su family only had one girl, they doted on her to no end.

It was because of this that Su Binglan became arrogant in the past. The Su family was well-off when they moved to this village, but they gradually plummeted because of Su Binglan.

Everyone in the village was relieved now that she was finally sensible.

Before the villagers left, her neighbor, Yang, said warmly, “Binglan, remember that we’re all neighbors. Call me if you need anything.”

Su Binglan smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you, Aunt Yang.”

Yang was shocked to see Su Binglan’s smile. ‘If this child didn’t wear so much makeup, she would look gorgeous.’

Yang had never seen such a beautiful woman.

…

Su Binglan stood up and checked Luo Jin’an’s pulse when everyone left. However, her expression turned ashen when she checked his pulse.
