Madam Ding looked at Su Binglan and said, “Thank you, Binglan.”

She noticed that her entire body was full of strength. Previously, she was so anxious that she could not speak and could only look at others. Even so, her vision was blurry, and she could only see everyone’s silhouettes, not their actual appearances.

However, her vision was much clearer when she looked at her surrounding family members just now. Although it was still a little blurry, she could see everyone’s appearance.

Madam Ding became excited and had the strength to speak. Even though she was tired, she could at least say a few sentences. She also became teary-eyed and knew she had made the right choice doting on her niece because Su Binglan ultimately saved her life.

Su Binglan held Madam Ding’s hand tightly and said, “We’re family, Aunt Ding. You don’t have to thank me. If you do, then you must rest as much as possible. I still need you to run my embroidery shop after all.”

She knew that her aunt’s main problem was depression.

Madam Ding was strong. Everyone relied on her in the past because of her excellent embroidery skills. She felt needed by the villagers, which was why she had the strength to live. Even if her body was weak, she knew people needed her.

However, she thought she could no longer help everyone and had become useless when her eyesight worsened, and she could not sew anymore. In addition, her body became weaker, and she felt like a burden to her family, resulting in depression.

Madam Ding was a meticulous person. If she overthought, her depression would be even more severe, which also caused her to become severely ill.

Therefore, Su Binglan deliberately said she needed her aunt so that she would feel needed and quickly recover. Su Binglan wanted her aunt to regain her will to live.

“Okay, I promise you that I will recover quickly.”

Then Su Binglan gave a few simple instructions, “Everyone should go home since Aunt Ding needs to rest and recuperate. Either way, Aunt Ding will be fine in a few days, so everyone can return and talk with her soon.”

Everyone in the Su family had seen Su Binglan’s ability, so they trusted her the most. Thus, everyone would listen, no matter what she said.

Old Madam Su said, “All right, everyone, let’s go home.”

She trusted her granddaughter the most. If Su Binglan said that Madam Ding was fine, then she was. Moreover, Old Madam Su knew what was happening after looking at Madam Ding’s appearance. It was that she had recovered.

Shen Qiuhua was at the door when her daughter arrived to treat Madam Ding. She stood there silently and watched as she did not want to bother her daughter, who had almost sprinted to Madam Ding’s side.

Shen Qiuhua heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter saying that Madam Ding was okay and that Madam Ding could speak. She stood at the door, quietly wiping her tears.

Madam Liu saw Shen Qiuhua and said, “We should take our leave now, Second Sister-in-law.”

“Yes, let’s. Binglan and I will go home together.”

Su Binglan packed her medical kit and was about to leave the house when Su

Wenxian said, “Cousin Binglan, let me send you off.”

“Oh, there’s no need for that, Cousin Wenxian. I’ll have to visit often, so you should stay by the heated platform and watch over your mother,” she waved at Su Wenxian as she spoke before leaving with her mother.

Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binglan and said, “Binglan, will your aunt be alright?”

Su Binglan held her medical kit with one hand and her mother’s arm with the other. She said, “Aunt Ding is doing well. She needs to help me look after the embroidery shop I’ll set up soon after all.”

Shen Qiuhua responded, “You said you wanted more land to build a factory, so you want to build an embroidery shop too?”

Su Binglan explained, “I didn’t properly think about what to do then, but after some thought, I think it’s better to build an embroidery shop instead. I can hire more villagers and make them wealthier when the time comes.

“The embroidery workshop doesn’t need everyone to do manual work, nor does it require anyone to have any technical skills. The villagers can learn what they need to do in no time.

“Then Little Lei and the others will also have a job to earn money and support their family’s expenses.”

Su Binglan had considered many things when recruiting workers for the tofu factory. A young girl like Dong Lei, who was just eleven years old, could work at the factory since she was not afraid of hard work. However, Su Binglan could not live with her conscience.

Therefore, she wondered what kind of job would suit Dong Lei better so that it would be easier and not require too much manual labor. Then Su Binglan thought of opening an embroidery shop.

Shen Qiuhua did not think so. She said, “It’s not that simple since embroidery is not something one can learn overnight. One can’t learn certain things, even if you teach them how. Why else would your aunt’s embroideries be so popular?

It’s because it’s a craft.’

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Mother, the embroidery shop we will build doesn’t do just that. I want the shop to make quilts, pillowcases, pillows, cloth dolls, sweaters, handicrafts, and other things.

“Those things don’t require many skills at all. You’ll know what’s going on once we start on the embroidery shop, Mother.”

Anticipation filled Su Binglan’s heart. She believed the things she sold at the embroidery shop would become famous.

Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter’s expression and became expectant. “I believe you will be able to set up a unique embroidery shop.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, then you will help me run the tofu factory when the time comes, Mother. Then I will hire Aunt Ding to watch over the embroidery shop for me and make her the chief supervisor.”

Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Your aunt loves you the most, so she’ll do an excellent job for you.”

“I’m not angry or anything. I just want Aunt Ding to help me supervise the embroidery shop while you oversee the tofu factory.”

Shen Qiuhua patted the back of Su Binglan’s hand, saying, “Why would I think you were angry? I’m just happy that your aunt will get better. Also, I don’t know anything about meticulous embroidery work.

“Your aunt is more meticulous than I am. She also treats people well, so you can rest assured.

The mother and daughter chatted as they returned home.

Su Binglan was still in a hurry to go to town to buy medicine, but she suddenly thought of something and went to the medicinal field in the backyard. She noticed that a few medicinal herbs had grown at once.

“This saves me the trouble. I don’t even need to go to town to buy medicinal herbs. There are a few here that I need among the ones Wenxiu planted,” she went to the field to dig up some herbs as she spoke.

Then she immediately began brewing some medicine. It was also at this time that Su Wenxiu and the others returned.

Previously, Su Wenxiu hurried home and went directly to her eldest aunt’s house. After ensuring Madam Ding was okay, he knew Su Binglan had returned home.

Su Wenxiu had planned to ask Su Binglan if she was going to town to buy medicinal herbs. Since he happened to know how to ride a horse, he planned to ride it to town to buy some herbs and help his sister brew the medicine.

However, he was stunned when he saw that Su Binglan was already doing that when he entered the house.

Su Binglan looked at her second brother and said, “Wenxiu, I dug these herbs from your field. Your herbs are precious, so I’ll buy them from you.”

Su Wenxiu said thoughtfully, “Sister, what are you saying? I wouldn’t have returned home alive if it weren’t for you. You can have as many medicinal herbs from my yard as you want.”

After a while, he finally realized something and asked, “S-Sister, did you just say you used all the herbs on my farm? D-Did you use most of what I planted?”
