“You can’t put it that way,” Old Madam Li said, “I mentioned a few girls to Dazhuang before, but those girls despised him for not having parents, an old grandma, and younger siblings to look after.

“Now that Dazhuang has a proper job and earns money, those girls are friendlier around him. How can we accept that? However, Xiaocheng is a good girl. We’ll treat her like family when she comes to our house.”

“Your grandson, Dazhuang, is a good man. He’s as hardworking as you. He’ll lead a good life,” Old Madam Lin said with a sigh, “But how much betrothal money did you give Xiaocheng and her mother?”

“Two silver taels. We’ll save it later to buy what we need too.”

Old Madam Lin was shocked. “Two silver taels isn’t a tiny amount. Usually, one silver tael is more than enough.”

“We’re family now,” Old Madam Li said smilingly, “We can’t be so calculative.” She wanted to fight for her pride. It also showed those girls who looked down on Li Dazhuang that the Li family would treat his wife with the greatest sincerity.

After all, being looked down on by others did not feel good, and Old Madam Li knew her grandson was upset. Still, things were much better for the Li family now, and both Li Dazhuang and Jiang Xiaocheng could live well together.

After the two spoke for a while, Old Madam Li looked at Old Madam Lin and said, “Has your leg fully recovered, Old Madam Lin?”

Speaking of which, Old Madam Lin smiled even wider. “Miss Su said I would need to recuperate for half a month, but I feel like my legs have already healed since last night. I slept well and didn’t even get up. I was still in a daze when I woke up in the morning.”

Old Madam Li said with emotion, “Miss Su is a good girl and highly skilled in medicine. ‘ i

“You’re right. I heard Miss Su even cured that kid, Lin Chai. He can speak more smoothly now. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”

Lin Chai was still afraid even though his speech became smoother. He feared that it was just an illusion and that he would suddenly stutter again. So, when he woke up the following day, he spoke to his wife and said many things, including about his childhood.

Miss He was delighted. She listened to her husband’s words attentively and occasionally replied. Meanwhile, Lin Chai and Miss He’s three sons were thrilled and kept calling for their father.

Lin Chai also played and talked with his three sons. The house was bustling with noise and laughter. It had been a long time since this had happened at home.

Miss He was happy and planned to make dumplings with eggs and leek in the evening. She typically could not bear to cook proper food at home or use eggs.

However, the whole family was happy today, so she planned to make something delicious. She used coarse flour to make dumplings and added some eggs to adjust the taste.

Miss he would typically avoid using eggs and would save them to sell.

Otherwise, she would only cook them for Lin Chai and their children. She could not bear to eat the eggs for herself.

Even so, Lin Chai and the three boys were also reluctant to eat eggs, and it had been a long time since they had some, not to mention dumplings.

Miss He had learned to make dumplings, but she had never made any. “We’ll have dumplings tonight,” she said.

The three boys were excited.

“Mother, are we really going to eat dumplings? “Mother, I didn’t mishear you, right?”

“Mother, I heard dumplings are delicious.”

Miss He felt bitter-sweet when she heard her children’s words. She discretely wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “Yes, we’ll have dumplings today. Our family will be better in the future.”

Su Binglan told Miss He that her family would change for the better, and Miss He also believed it would. When Miss He’s body improved, she could work in the fields and plant more crops.

Furthermore, her family had grown accustomed to exchanging grain for rice seeds from the Su family. The Su family’s rice seed production was high, and if Miss He used them for farming, she believed their following year’s grain production would improve.

The family would have much more food at home when that time came, and then they could sell some of their rice for money.

Nonetheless, Lin Chai did not object to making dumplings. “I’ll go to Su Zhengde’s place tomorrow and ask if he’s still recruiting people for his construction team,” he said, “I’ll work so that I can earn some money for us.” His speech became smoother, and he became more confident. He decided to take the initiative to go out and find work.

Miss He smiled. “Don’t tire yourself out.”

“It’s not tiring. The team is just rushing work. After finishing one job, we can typically rest for a few days. It’s fine. I’ll help you make dumplings tonight.” Whenever Lin Chai was home, he would help Miss He with the housework.

Miss He nodded. “Alright.”

“Father, Mother, we can do it too! We’ll help too!”

The children were looking forward to eating good food. They were excited about eating dumplings for dinner, and their voices were thunderous.

Miss He smiled. “Okay, okay. Let’s make dumplings together as a family.”

After a busy day, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an returned to their courtyard to rest after dinner. The couple had to start a fire before going to bed. Most of the time, they would cook in the main hall.

They used the brick platform where Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao would sleep, so the brick platform on the young couple’s side was still cold.

Luo Jin’an went to get some firewood to start the fire. Since there were two brick beds in their room, they had to warm them up.

Su Binglan looked at her husband as he burned the firewood and sat beside him. “I’ll start the fire. You’ve been busy all day, so you should take a break.”

Luo Jin’an had been helping her out the entire day, so she felt he must be tired, but Luo Jin’an glanced at her and said, “If we only warm up one brick bed every night, I’ll feel less tired. We can also save some firewood.”

Su Binglan was stunned and could not react for a moment.

“I’ll just warm up one brick bed. I don’t need to warm mine up.” Luo Jin i an inwardly sighed when he noticed that Su Binglan did not understand what he meant. “You sleep on the heated brick bed, and I’ll sleep in the back room.”

“I can’t allow that. You’re not in good health, so you can sleep on the warmer bed. I’ll be okay since I won’t get a fever.”

After all, how could Su Binglan let her husband sleep on the cold brick bed? What if his body froze?

Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and remained silent for a long time.

Su Binglan felt that Luo Jin’an’s eyes were full of deep meaning. “Do you have something to say?

Luo Jin’an nodded and said lowly, “I think it’ll be more convenient if it’s like last night.”

Su Binglan finally understood that he wanted to sleep on the same bed. ‘B-But that..’

She accepted the fact, but she felt embarrassed. “I-I might do something to you when I’m asleep.” Su Binglan blushed. “You said I was too strong last time.”

“It’s all right.” Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan calmly. His eyes softly glowed as if he was being gentle. Even his voice was gentle.

“What if I say something strange in my sleep?

‘Didn’t he say I hugged him last night and called him Brother Jin’an?

Luo Jin’an gazed at Su Binglan gently and said, “I’m willing to listen to your sleeptalk. ”

‘Ahh!’ Su Binglan’s heart started to beat wildly..
