Then she went to push the cart of sweet potatoes into the warehouse since Liu Yiniyin’s parents needed them to make noodles.

The Liu family would come to collect their goods every once in a while. Typically, they would have arrived to buy sweet potatoes on that day, but since they did not show up, Su Binglan simply prepared the sweet potatoes in advance and put them aside.

Fortunately, the things in her pocket dimension grew fast, and she had enough sweet potatoes there. Su Binglan also prepared to store more sweet potatoes in the warehouse so she could give some to everyone else to grow when spring arrived.

Her yield of sweet potatoes were very high, not to mention the pocket dimension-improved seeds. So, as long as the villagers worked hard, every family would not have to go hungry.

After dinner, Liu Yinyin helped to clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the main dining area. She also soaked the herbal eggs that she and her husband would sell the following morning.

Afterward, she prepared to return to her courtyard. When she arrived, she happened to see Su Binglan pushing a cart. She hurriedly ran over, saying, “I’ll help you, Binglan. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Liu Yinyin felt her heart ache when she saw her sister-in-law pushing such a heavy cart. She knew Su Binglan was a person who did important things, so how could she do such heavy work?

“I’m okay. I’m not tired at all.” Su Binglan had better physical strength than ordinary people. She knew this probably had some things to do with drinking spiritual spring water.

Liu Yinyin also felt that she had become stronger. She could easily push a cart with three sacks full of items. She wondered if she had gained such strength from eating more.

The family did not know that Su Binglan had added spiritual spring water in the water tank at home, which could improve everyone’s physique. If one possessed an improved physique, one would not get easily tired from working. Liu Yinyin asked curiously, “What’s in the cart, Binglan?”

Su Binglan explained, “They’re sweet potatoes. Your parents typically come and buy them every few days. Your parents said they would come today but didn’t show up, so I thought of putting these aside first.”

Liu Yinyin felt touched. “Thank you, Binglan!”

“I’ve already said you don’t need to thank me, Sister-in-law.”

Liu Yinyin was grateful to Su Binglan. “You even made a trip to the mountain for these potatoes. Next time, you can tell me, and I’ll help you collect them. This place is very remote, and it’s easy for you to get lost.”

Su Binglan usually collected the sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension, but she told her family she collected them from deep in the mountain. She also told them she planted some there and would bring them home once in a while. Of course, no one doubted her words.

The duo was talking when Liu Yinyin’s parents arrived. The gate was open, but

Liu Yinyin’s mother patted the latch and asked, “Are my in-laws here?”

Liu Yinyin heard her mother and said excitedly, “Oh, that’s my mother’s voice.”

She was so excited that she wanted to run toward the gate but did not move when she thought about the sweet potatoes in the cart.

Su Binglan said, “Your parents are probably here to collect the sweet potatoes.

Let’s push the cart to the gate.”

“Okay.” Liu Yinyin and Su Binglan walked out.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao also heard the voice and came out of the back room. Meanwhile, Su Wenxiu used the moonlight in the backyard as a light source to gather his medicinal herbs.

He would typically go to Hundred Herb Hospital to study during the day. Then he would find time to gather his herbs when he returned at night. Su Wenxiu studied and worked hard every day.

Everyone did their work after dinner while Su Wenwu looked for Li Dazhuang.

Shen Qiuhua and her husband went to the gate to welcome Liu Yinyin’s parents. “Our in-laws are here. Come in quickly.”

Mr. and Mrs. Liu felt embarrassed. “Sorry, we’re so late. We didn’t disturb your rest, did we?”

Shen Qiuhua said, “That’s nonsense. It’s our night off, so it’s okay. Still, it would be best if you came earlier next time, then you can make it for dinner. I want you two to try my cooking.” Mrs. Liu said embarrassedly, “No, that’s too troublesome for you.”

“You’re family, so it’s no trouble at all.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. and Mrs. Liu said they were there to collect the sweet potatoes.

Liu Yinyin looked at the oxcart at the gate and said excitedly, “Father, Mother, did you guys buy a cow?”

Although the Su family’s conditions had improved, Liu Yinyin still missed her parents. She was ecstatic when she noticed that her parents had brought an oxcart.

She would have thought her parents had rented the oxcart if it were the past.

However, she knew her parents could afford to buy an oxcart now.

When Liu Yinyin previously delivered the goods to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Liu said they were planning to buy an oxcart. After all, they had earned a lot from selling their duck blood vermicelli.

Mrs. Liu explained smilingly, “Yes, that oxcart belongs to us. We bought it for eight silver taels, and it’s still a calf. It’s not as strong as a bull, so it was cheaper. Your father and I thought we only needed it to transport things back and forth. That’s why we decided to get a calf.”

Liu Yinyin approached the calf and excitedly patted it. Although the Su family also had an oxcart, she and her husband rode it to town almost daily. Still, she felt different looking at the oxcart her parents had bought.

How could she not worry about her parents? She was their daughter, after all. Liu Yinyin was genuinely happy for them.

Shen Qiuhua said, “It’s always more convenient to have an oxcart that can help travel back and forth to town. It’s also perfect for transporting items instead of tiring yourself out by pushing a cart.”

Willow Village was further away from town than Su Teng Village. Therefore, Liu Yinyin’s family would take a long time to get to town, and pushing a cart back and forth was tiring. Nonetheless, things were easier now since her family owned an oxcart.

Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “It’s all thanks to Binglan. We made some money with our duck blood vermicelli, so we could afford an oxcart.

The oxcart cost eight silver taels, previously a lot of money for the Liu family. They were not willing to spend that much on an oxcart then. They only depended on themselves and put in a lot more effort to save money to buy the oxcart.

At this time, Mrs. Liu felt that her health was important. After all, if one was healthy, one could continue doing business and earn money.

Shen Qiuhua also experienced those hardships, so she understood how Mrs.

Liu felt very well. “It’s the same here. Our lives will only continue to improve.”

Mr. and Mrs. Liu’s smiles were about to overflow. “We planned to come earlier today, but we had something to do in the village. We just finished our work.”

Liu Yinyin said, “These are the sweet potatoes, Mother. Binglan had just prepared them. She thought you wouldn’t come today, so she planned to put them in the warehouse for you.”

Mrs. Liu smiled at Su Binglan. “Thank you so much, Binglan.”

“It’s no trouble, Mrs. Liu. Come in and have some water.”

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, “We can’t stay for long since we have some work to do at home. Let’s weigh the sweet potatoes first.”

Su Fengmao took the big scale from inside the house. The hook could withstand heavy crops. He lifted a sack of sweet potatoes, put it on the hook, and it weighed 52 pounds.”

He tried to weigh them less so that Mr. and Mrs. Liu would spend less money..
