Li Shi felt touched when he heard how his boss addressed his parents. He did not feel anything when others respected him but had an indescribable feeling when others respected his parents. His heart was full of grat.i.tude toward his boss, but he did not know how to show it.

He felt slightly nervous as he watched Su Binglan take his mother’s pulse. He feared his mother’s condition might be more severe than expected. Still, he would spend as much money as needed if Su Binglan could cure his mother.

After all, he did not want anything to happen to his parents and only wanted them to be healthy. His mother had also said she would find him a wife to look after their future child, and Li Shi could imagine it.

After taking Mrs. Li’s pulse, Su Binglan immediately prescribed the medicine, “Wenxiu, get three doses according to the prescription.”

Then she looked at Mr. Li and told Su Wenxiu to get him some medicine also. Su Binglan pa.s.sed the medicine to Li Shi and said, “This is the medicine for your mother. Brew it and give it to your mother to drink. These are your father’s. Do the same for him.

“Oh, right, this is for your mother’s eyes. Her vision is blurring because she cries so often. Use this—she’ll be okay in five to six days. Remember, they need to rest and recuperate for half a month. Only then will they be fine.

“The same goes for your father. Your parents’ main issue is that they’re malnourished. They’ll get better after eating better food and getting proper rest.”

Su Binglan told Li Shi many details. Li Shi’s eyes turned red excitedly when he heard his boss say that his parents would be fine in a few days. He would not doubt these words. “Thank you, Boss!”

He did not know what else to say besides that while his parents were stunned. They did not expect that they would recover. Mrs. Li was well aware of her condition and did not know how much longer she had to live, but she heard that she would be okay in half a month, which surprised her.

However, Su Binglan had not mentioned the medicines’ price

“M-Miss Su, how much is the medicine?” Mrs. Li knew a consultation would cost two coins per person or four coins for her and her husband but did not know how much the medicine would cost.

Su Binglan replied, “Since you’re Li Shi’s parents, you won’t have to pay for the medicine.”

Li Shi differed from Lin Zheng and Zhou Shan in Su Binglan’s eyes. One was her disciple, and the other was her workers under her protection. However, she would have told Su Wenxiu to charge the Li family according to the rules if he were the one running the place.

Still, since Su Binglan was present to give medical services and Li Shi’s parents were there for consultation and treatment, Su Binglan would not accept their money for the medication.

“B-Boss, you can’t do that. We must pay for the herbs,” Li Shi sobbed, “I’ve brought money.”

“You don’t have to pay me. Since you call me boss, I’ll still protect you,” Su

Binglan said, “If you feel indebted, continue to help me look after the shop and learn what I’ve taught you. Remember, you still have to be a manager in the future.”

Li Shi knew his boss preferred things to be brief-winded, so he nodded, feeling touched. “Yes, Boss! I’ll take good care of the shop and study hard.”

He didn’t know what else to say as he held the medicine with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

“You’re an adult now, so don’t cry, or everyone will laugh at you.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li knew Su Binglan was much younger than Li Shi, but Li Shi treated Su Binglan as his older sister. The older couple could see their sincerity.

Li Shi would only show weakness in front of Su Binglan or when he was alone.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were also grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of their hearts and continuously expressed grat.i.tude.

After a few more backs and forwards, Su Binglan let Li Shi take his parents back. As Li Shi drove the oxcart, he said to his parents, “I want to settle down in Su Teng Village It’ll be perfect, I know it.”

Mrs. Li nodded. “I also think this place is perfect. We’ll go wherever you go.”

“Let’s go back and sell that land,” Li Shi said, “Then well pack up and see if we can settle down in Su Teng Village.”

He felt safer in Su Teng Village because he knew his boss was around. After all, he treated his boss as his family.

Du Xiaoshuan, Li Dazhuang, and a few others were usually responsible for the hotpot restaurant’s ingredients. They were also in charge of gathering goods and restocking them.

Since Li Dazhuang and Jiang Xiaocheng had gotten married, Su Wenwu told him to help out in town more often so that it would be easier for the newly-engaged couple to be together.

Meanwhile, Du Xiaoshuan collected ingredients from Stone Village and sometimes visited Su Teng Village. The hotpot restaurant did not have enough meatb.a.l.l.s this time, so he went to the tofu factory to collect some.

No matter the reason, he was always thrilled to go to Su Teng Village. That was mainly because Du Xiaoju was there. Du Xiaoshuan felt extremely at ease because his sister worked alongside Su Binglan.

Du Xiaoju was excited to see her brother. “Brother, wait a moment. I’ll go in and load the goods.”

Li Mei and Du Xiaoju were in charge of people making meatb.a.l.l.s for the hotpot restaurant. Li Mei quickly helped Du Xiaoju when she heard someone was coming to collect the meatb.a.l.l.s.

Li Mei was a typically observant and hardworking person. That was why Su Binglan wanted her to make meatb.a.l.l.s with Du Xiaoju.

After packing the goods, the duo pushed the cart out. Li Mei was stunned when she saw Du Xiaoshuan.

Du Xiaoshuan thought his younger sister had come out but did not expect to see a beautiful young lady instead. He was astounded, especially when Li Mei looked back at him with big eyes.

“Li Mei, this is my brother, Xiaoshuan. He’s from Stone Village and works for the civil and military young master,” Du Xiaoju introduced the two, “Brother, this is Li Mei. She makes meatb.a.l.l.s with me now.”

Du Xiaoshuan nodded in a daze and said in embarra.s.sment, “M-Miss Mei, nice to meet you.”

Li Mei also returned to her senses and replied, “h.e.l.lo, Xiaoshuan.”

She did not even know where to put her hands as she spoke.

Li Mei and Du Xiaoju prepared to carry the box to the oxcart, but Du Xiaoshuan quickly said, “Don’t put in so much effort, ladies. Let me do it.”

He lifted the box and placed it on the oxcart, making his arms look muscular. Li Mei felt shy and thought she should not have looked. However, she could not help but take a few more glances.

Before Du Xiaoshuan left, he took out a stick of candied gourd and said, “This is for you, Little Sister.”

“Thank you, Big Brother,” Du Xiaoju said smilingly, “Stop buying things for me, okay? You should save money and find a good wife. I want a sister-in-law, you know?”

Du Xiaoshuan said, “Mother wants me to settle in Su Teng Village. She said I would be closer to you to look out for each other.

Du Xiaoju was delighted to hear that and replied, “What’s your plan, Big Brother?”

Du Xiaoshuan said, “Su Teng Village is perfect, so I agree with Mother. Since we’re not originally from Stone Village, we’ll move here later. Now that I’ve found you, Mother feels I owe you for not being able to protect you for all those years. Still, I do want to be closer to you..”
