Li Shi’s hear was full of grat.i.tude toward Su Binglan.

“I’m relieved to see you like this,” Su Binglan said, “Your parents are okay and will be better after more rest. Don’t worry about them too much, okay?”

Li Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his boss’s words. He could choose not to believe the words of others, but he would believe his boss without question.

“So, the misunderstanding between you and your parents has been resolved?” Su Binglan asked.

Li Shi replied, “I only wanted to go to Northern Song Village to check on my parents that day, but…”

He told Su Binglan everything that happened that day, and Su Binglan finally understood what was going on. She sighed. “If your parents treat you well, you can feel like their boy again.”

Li Shi could feel his parents’ love for him. Perhaps he felt more at home with them now, and Su Binglan could understand how he felt.

Previously, Li Shi did not have a place to go when the dessert shop closed for the night and could only rest in the dormitory in the shop’s backyard.

“So you’ve been walking back and forth every day?” Su Binglan asked. She knew how far Northern Song Village was from Teng He Town, and Li Shi had to walk several hours a day to get to work and back home.

He said softly, “I don’t feel like it’s too far, Boss. I’m not afraid and can sleep peacefully with my parents by my side. When I was a child, I feared they would beat me up, but everything has changed now. I’ve forgiven tem, and they’ve started treating me much better.”

He wanted to say something else to Su Binglan but hesitated.

However, Su Binglan saw Li Shi’s expression and immediately understood his thoughts. She said, “You can say whatever you want in front of me.”

Li Shi mustered his courage and finally spoke, “B-Boss? I think I want to settle down in Su Teng Village. I’ve been saving the salary and bonuses you’ve paid me every month to buy a piece of land and build a house there.

“I know Su Teng Village is a good place, and I no longer want to stay in Northern Song Village. I asked around and heard I have to go through the village chief if I want to live in Su Teng Village. However, what my parents did in the past might not allow it.”

Li Shi hesitated and wondered whether or not he should tell his boss these things because he did not want to trouble her.

Still, Su Binglan was not surprised when she heard that. After all, she knew what Li Shi had been through. He was a good and dutiful person who could let go of the past, but Su Binglan still had to consider his words.

After some thought, she said, “You can come and live in Su Teng Village, but the land you buy and the house you build can only belong to you. Your parents will only live there in retirement.”

Her words helped Li Shi solve many of his unanswered questions. If the land and house belonged to Li Shi, his parents would have to rely on him for a living.

Mr. and Mrs. Li also had to treat Li Shi well if they wanted to live the rest of their lives in Su Teng Village. Even Li Shi’s brothers could not do anything to disturb Li Shi.

Nonetheless, Li Shi was clever and understood what Su Binglan meant. He said with misty eyes, “Thank you, Boss!”

“I’ll arrange everything for you. You don’t have to worry. Su Teng Village still has available land that won’t cost much for you to build your house. You can borrow money from me if you don’t have enough. I’ll just deduct it from your salary or bonus later.”

Li Shi barely spent the money he had previously earned and felt he had enough. “I have enough, Boss. My parents also have one acre of land that’s very fertile and worth one to two silver taels, which I plan to sell.”

“It’s good that you can plan for yourself. Keep doing that in the future, understand?”

“Yes, Boss.”

Su Wenxiu also went to town over the last few days to learn at Hundred Herbs Hospital. Doctor Wu knew Su Wenxiu was growing herbs at home and learned from Su Binglan.

After hearing things about Su Teng Village, Doctor Wu also discovered that Su Binglan provided medical services. He admired Su Binglan and thought she was a genuinely kind-hearted doctor.

He also wanted to follow her example but could not. On the one hand, Hundred Herbs Hospital belonged to the Wu family, and he had no say. On the other, it was also because they purchased the medicinal herbs for Hundred Herbs Hospital.

Doctor Wu was shocked when he saw the notes Su Wenxiu held. He asked the young man, “You memorized all this?”

Su Wenxiu nodded. “Yeah, I was around when my sister gave prescriptions, so I noted everything down.”

Su Wenxiu’s memory was excellent; he could remember everything in detail. The more Doctor Wu looked at the notes, the more excited he became. “That’s wonderful! I didn’t know you could write prescriptions like this. Your sister is indeed a divine doctor, Wenxiu.

“How did she cure such an illness so quickly? Her prescriptions for this symptom are so bold and clever. Also, this…”

He read Su Wenxiu’s notes with great interest, holding the book like he was drunk with excitement.

Su Wenxiu had never seen Doctor Wu like this and wondered how he should tell Doctor Wu to return the notes to him after reading them.

Su Wenxiu used his notes daily to consolidate and organize new books for his apprentices to read. Just as he was in deep thought, a young married woman entered Hundred Herbs Hospital with her servant.

“Get out of the way!” The servant girl said rudely, “You b.u.mped into my young madam. You must pay for it!” The servant girl was highly unruly.

“Miss, we were in line first.’

There were two physicians in the hundred herb Hall. Doctor Wu was inside, and the other physician was outside.

“My young madam has an emergency! Don’t you know who she is?!” The servant girl said while w.a.n.g Siman looked at the clothes the people before her wore judgingly with disdain.

Then she saw Su Wenxiu, and he looked back at her.

Su Wenxiu’s face turned pale when he saw w.a.n.g Siman. He was no stranger to this person, who had almost become his wife.

w.a.n.g Siman looked Su Wenxiu up and down, then walked over and said lowly, “Su Wenxiu, I’m warning you. There’s nothing between us anymore. Even if you knew I was here, getting in my way is pointless.

“Why don’t you take a look at yourself? If you’re sensible, you should leave quickly. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”

Su Wenxiu listened to w.a.n.g Siman’s sarcastic and humiliating words. He immediately thought of what had happened more than a year ago.

w.a.n.g Siman wanted to cancel the engagement back then but was afraid he would disagree, so she called him out and humiliated him. Otherwise, Su Wenxiu wouldn’t have felt so agitated.

He clenched his hands into tight fists before taking a deep breath and saying coldly, “Please carry yourself with dignity, Ma’am. You’re a married woman, so you must be careful with your words.”

“What did you just say?!” w.a.n.g Siman could not believe Su Wenxiu would talk to her like that..
