Su Binglan looked at her husband’s expression and asked softly, “So, your mother…”

“She’s no longer around,” Luo Jin’an responded.

Su heart tightened when she heard those words. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.”

“It’s okay.”

Su Binglan continued, “Your mother left this behind as a memento for you. I can’t take it.”

Luo Jin’an said faintly, “My mother was the one who told me to give it to my future wife.”

Thump, thump, thump! Su Binglan felt her heart beating faster. ‘Didn’t we agree that we’re only husband and wife for my family’s sake?’

She wanted to remind Luo Jin’an of this and talk about it, but she did not know why she could not speak up. She liked the gift and the meaning behind it but felt conflicted.

Su Binglan pursed her lips and said, “I’ll keep it for now.”

She decided to help her husband keep the jade bracelet for now and would return it if Luo Jin’an needed it back one day.

“Okay.” Luo Jin’an would not take back what he gave to his wife.

“Y-You should rest now.” Su Binglan closed the door for Luo Jin’an and briskly walked away. After wearing the bracelet for a while, she carefully put it into the box and put it away.

Luo Jin’an would quickly lose sleep and not rest well when he was away from the village. However, he fell asleep in his room with the pillow on his face as it felt relaxing and reassuring. Perhaps he could only sleep well when at home.

Those bloody nightmares he would have did not occur and woke him every night whenever he slept.

Everyone was busy in the afternoon, and Qiu He followed Shen Qiuhua to the tofu factory. At the same time, Su Fengmao took Luo Kang to Su Fengzhi’s house because he had to collect charcoal. After all, Su Binglan was about to launch her hotpot restaurant.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan had arranged for Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan to make meatballs at home, which she needed for the hotpot restaurant.

Su Binglan planned to build another building next to the tofu factory where she would hire more workers to make meatballs. Then she intended for Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan to teach the new workers.

After establishing the new workers, Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan could help at the hotpot restaurant. Simultaneously, Su Wenwu and his three close friends would get the rest of the ingredients. Everyone had their own jobs to do

Su Binglan went to the tofu factory to check things out. Su Zhengde’s grandson, Su Xueye, oversaw the building process and construction team. Since many people worked under him, they managed to build the factory relatively quickly.

Su Xueye was working when Su Binglan went over to take a look. Some construction team members would ask Su Xueye for advice if they did not understand certain things, and Su Xueye would answer their questions thoughtfully.

Moreover, he would check on his construction team’s work occasionally because he feared they would lose focus on what they were doing. Of course, Su Xueye was just a teenager, but he was earnest.

No one present would treat Su Xueye as a child because he was capable and knowledgeable. The construction workers would quickly learn whenever Su Xueye explained something.

Also, the workers would not have such a job opportunity if it were not for Su Xueye forming his team. Everyone was content as they could work daily, learn new things, and earn money for their families.

Everyone respected Su Xueye. Moreover, they had heard that Su Xueye would be Su Zhengde’s successor one day. After all, he was Su Zhengde’s eldest grandson, and he was highly talented.

Su Xueye would probably take over even the other construction teams’ matters in the future, and everyone understood it.

He saw Su Binglan when he raised his head, so he excitedly ran over. “Hello, Aunt Binglan!”

He seemed very severe just a moment ago, but after seeing Su Binglan, he immediately became like a child again.

Su Binglan looked at him and smiled. ‘You’re amazing, Xueye. You’re leading your own team, and the factory is coming along nicely.”

Su Xueye blushed when Su Binglan praised him. He said embarrassedly, “I learned everything from you, Aunt Binglan. I wouldn’t have been able to lead a team so quickly if it weren’t for your guidance.”

He had never imagined being this capable before, but after studying many construction-related things and leading a team, he felt he had become much more confident.

He looked at the almost completed factory and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Su Binglan praised, “Actually, this is all because you’re brilliant. If it were someone else, they might not have been able to learn as quickly as you.”

Su Xueye had followed his grandfather and practiced since he was a child. In addition, he studied for a few years and had a solid foundation. Naturally, he would learn things quickly.

Su Binglan noticed that Su Xueye had made significant progress and felt happy for him.

“Although you need to continue overseeing the factory during the day, you must still study hard. Don’t waste your studies because there’s no end to it.”

Su Xueye said thoughtfully, “Yes, Aunt Binglan. I’ll always find the time to study every day.”

Su Xueye found that learning these things was very enjoyable. His eyes were always excited whenever he talked about architecture, and Su Binglan knew he was passionate about it.

If one were passionate, one would have the strength to do anything for what one loved.

Su Binglan looked in and out of the factory as the construction team had basically finished it. They would complete it in just a few days, so the family should hire workers by that time.

However, before that, Su Binglan had to get her hotpot restaurant on the right track. While she looked around the factory, Baili Jinghua appeared.

“Is that you, Jinghua?”

Recently, Baili Jinghua brought her son around to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, making food for him and accompanying him. Therefore, Baili Xihong’s personality gradually became lively.

“Binglan, I sent Xihong to Blue Mountain Academy today. He’s in the same class as Xuexuan and Xuehai.”

“Didn’t you say you wanted Xihong to get used to the environment first?” Baili Jinghua waved her hand and said, “He’s very used to it now. Moreover, he’s having a good time with Xuexuan and Xuehai, so he won’t feel awkward when he goes to the academy.”

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “The academy didn’t ask you to go through an assessment?”

She remembered Blue Mountain Academy requesting an assessment or something along those lines when she went there. She did not know what Luo Jin i an told the principal then, but he instantly got the principal’s approval for himself and the two little ones to attend the academy.

Su Binglan had thought of asking Luo Jin’an to talk to Mr. Kong when he returned. She wanted Luo Jin’an to ask if Baili Xihong could attend Blue Mountain Academy. However, Baili Jinghua handled it herself, and everything went smoothly.

“You’re aware of my previous identity, correct? I know Mr. Kong, so it was easy for Xihong to get in.”

Su Binglan nodded. “That’s perfect.”

Baili Jinghua reached out and held Su Binglan’s arm, saying, “Now that I have free time, I can help you at your hotpot restaurant.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “I thought we agreed on not doing that. If you worked there, it’d be a waste of your talents.”

After all, Baili Jinghua had the potential to be a female general.

“No, of course not! I quite like working with you because I find it fascinating.

Still, you don’t have to worry because I can do whatever you ask.”

“Fine, I’ll give you some training in advance.” As if she thought of something,

Su Binglan asked, “Do you know if Jin’an is familiar with Mr.. Kong, Blue Mountain Academy’s principal?”
