94 Luo Jin’an’s Intention

Luo Jin’an did not argue with Su Binglan and simply sat on the bench. Still, he had his intentions of going to town with his wife.

He knew how the townsfolk talked about Su Binglan because Liu Yinyin said something about it. Luo Jin’an probably hoped he could be around Su Binglan so the townsfolk would stop spreading more ridiculous rumors.

Of course, Su Binglan did not expect her husband’s good looks to attract countless people. Many women could not help but talk about Luo Jin’an when they went to buy candied chestnuts from Su Binglan.

“Who is that, Miss?”

Su Binglan replied smilingly, “That’s my husband.”

“Oh? Your husband is dashing.”

“So, you are Su Binglan, after all. As expected, we shouldn’t trust rumors. I can tell you’re very caring toward your husband.”

The townsfolk said these things because Su Binglan let her husband sit and rest while she busied herself doing business.

“I agree. Only a few people like you dote on their husbands like this.”

In that era, only men typically went to work for money. However, considering how Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an got along, it seemed Su Binglan was only earning more money to support her family.

“Still, your husband is very handsome, so you should dote on him.”

Su Binglan noticed many staring at Luo Jin’an. While resting, she said, “Everyone is looking at you.”

Su Binglan did not realize her tone was different from usual when she said that. Despite that, Luo Jin’an did not say a word. He simply combed his hair aside, revealing his scar.

“I will leave my hair like this if you don’t mind,” Luo Jin’an said.

Su Binglan smiled. “Of course, I don’t mind.”

The people looking at Luo Jin’an were shocked when they saw his scar. Some even felt frightened. It was a pretty terrifying scar, after all. Soon after, everyone stopped looking at the handsome man.

They simply bought some candied chestnuts and exchanged a few pleasantries with her before leaving.

Nonetheless, Su Binglan intended to earn money to buy some medication for Luo Jin’an’s scars. She needed time to cure Luo Jin’an of his cold poison, while his scar did not need much effort. Still, she was not in a hurry to heal Luo Jin’an’s scar.

…

There was only one basket of candied chestnuts then, so they sold out quickly. After that, Su Binglan packed up and prepared to go home.

Since Lin Zheng and his lackeys helped again, Su Binglan left some candied chestnuts for the trio to eat. Once again, the trio showed their gratitude.

“You three can come over and help whenever I open up my stall. I will pay you three a monthly salary if you do well,” Su Binglan said sternly.

The trio became even more excited when they heard that. “T-Thank you, Boss!” The trio exclaimed in unison.

Li Shi and Zhou Shan were especially thankful to Su Binglan when they heard she was willing to pay them a monthly salary.

On the other hand, Lin Zheng’s family was well to do, but for some reason, he felt it was interesting to work with Su Binglan. He could also eat things he had not tried before.

As he had helped Su Binglan multiple times already, he began to realize that working with his own two hands felt different. It was much more fulfilling than robbing others of their belongings.

‘Boss was right about what she told me in the past.’

…

It was already dark when the couple walked home. Luo Jin’an would also cough from time to time.

Su Binglan heard the coughing and was silent for a while before saying, “Let me carry you home.”

She began to think it would be better if she did not allow him to follow her to town next time. If Luo Jin’an insisted, she would hire an oxcart or something similar.

She did not feel tired walking, but Luo Jin’an’s body could not bear it. However, Su Binglan did not understand why her husband insisted on following her to town in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan planned to rent a shop in town that had a backyard and decorate it. She would use the shop for her desserts and the backyard for making tofu. She could also use the backyard as a temporary break area.
