Chapter 3: She Was a Top-Notch Woman
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan thought Luo Jin'an's eyes were too intimidating and beautiful. Whenever he focused on a person, his eyes could charm them.
Su Binglan lowered her head, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, blocking Luo Jin'an's seemingly inquisitive gaze.
Luo Jin'an said softly, "Well, you must be hungry after waking up. I'll go make you something to eat." With that, Luo Jin'an got up and walked into the courtyard.
Su Binglan was relieved when she saw Luo Jin'an leave. It would be hard for her to answer if Luo Jin'an questioned her.
However, according to her predecessor's memories, Luo Jin'an was usually silent. He seldom spoke if there was nothing significant to say.
Just as Su Binglan thought of her predecessor's memories, she heard coughing coming from the courtyard. It was Luo Jin'an. The sound of his coughing was heart-wrenching.
Bang!
Su Binglan heard something fall. She wondered if her ears deceived her.
"W-What's wrong, Luo Jin'an? Are you okay?"
"This boy is hard to handle. He is diligent, sensible, and polite. But Su Binglan is none of those things."
"What should we do? Did he faint from exhaustion? Quick, move him into the house!"
When Luo Jin'an passed out, the villagers who passed by surrounded him and moved him into the house.
The neighbors looked at Su Binglan, sitting on the bed, leisurely drinking water, with conflicted expressions.
The villagers were simple-minded and usually helped each other. Even though they didn't like Su Binglan's habits, they didn't say a word about it.
They only tried to convince her to help, "Binglan, Luo Jin'an is your husband. I know that your family purchased him, but you should cherish him."
"Exactly. When you fell into the water, your mother was busy and had to take care of your father. Luo Jin'an took care of you, even while hunting. He even sold the prey he hunted for money so that he could get you some medicine."
"Your three brothers aren't home either. Your husband can only rely on himself. You can't do stupid things like this anymore!"
The villagers had heard some of the rumors circulating in the town, but it wasn't convenient for them to say anything. However, Luo Jin'an had fainted, and the villagers felt the need to convince Su Binglan to help her husband.
Su Binglan noticed the villagers' enthusiasm and sensed a strange feeling in her heart. She said, "Thank you, everyone. What happened in the past is indeed my fault. I will make sure that my husband has a better life."
The villagers heard Su Binglan's words and felt that she wasn't such a terrible person and that she had finally understood her mistakes.
"That's great, especially coming from you. If that's the case, your parents and brothers will no longer have to worry about you."
Su Binglan was a precious child of the Su family. Her grandparents, parents, and brothers would spoil her. Since the Su family only had one girl, they doted on her to no end.
It was because of this that Su Binglan became arrogant in the past. The Su family was well-off when they moved to this village, but they gradually plummeted because of Su Binglan.
Everyone in the village was relieved now that she was finally sensible.
Before the villagers left, her neighbor, Yang, said warmly, "Binglan, remember that we're all neighbors. Call me if you need anything."
Su Binglan smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yang."
Yang was shocked to see Su Binglan's smile. 'If this child didn't wear so much makeup, she would look gorgeous.'
Yang had never seen such a beautiful woman.
…
Su Binglan stood up and checked Luo Jin'an's pulse when everyone left. However, her expression turned ashen when she checked his pulse.

"Someone or something poisoned him! He has cold symptoms too. It's a miracle he's still alive!"
Su Binglan didn't expect Luo Jin'an's condition to be so severe. She felt his pulse again and was shocked. 'He still took care of me under such circumstances. He even wanted to go hunting and cook for me.'
'Besides, he has chills and can't stand the cold anymore. But it's autumn now, and the river is cold. He even went into the cold river water to save me without hesitation, causing his cold to worsen. He held on until I woke up.'
Su Binglan was full of emotions, yet her predecessor was willing to beat and scold Luo Jin'an. Her predecessor would even hit Luo Jin'an with a stick if he revealed his scar.
However, Luo Jin'an never avoided it. He only stood still and allowed Su Binglan's predecessor to hit him. Her predecessor would only stop when she was tired.
After that, Luo Jin'an would continue his work, never complaining, nor did he curse Su Binglan's predecessor. Su Binglan couldn't help but feel sorry for Luo Jin'an.
'The villagers are right. I should cherish Luo Jin'an.'
Even though Luo Jin'an was in a terrible condition and seemed like he didn't have long to live, Su Binglan did her best for him to survive.
Despite that, Luo Jin'an's condition was difficult to treat. He required a lot of precious herbs and acupuncture treatment while getting time to recuperate. Nonetheless, Luo Jin'an couldn't recover in such a short time.
Considering the Su family's current situation, Su Binglan couldn't buy expensive medicine for Luo Jin'an. She couldn't even afford ordinary medicine.
It looked like Su Binglan had to earn some money before anything else. However, she needed to stabilize Luo Jin'an's condition for now.
Previously, when Su Binglan was unconscious, Luo Jin'an went to get her some medicine, which contained herbs to ease her cold. He boiled it and gave it to Su Binglan to drink.
The following morning, Luo Jin'an would go to town and sell his prey so that he could buy some herbs. Su Binglan thought she could use the herbs Luo Jin'an bought to stabilize his condition for the time being. Then Su Binglan would think of ways to earn some money.
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside, "Binglan! I heard from the villagers that you finally woke up!"
Su Binglan heard the woman's voice. The woman was her predecessor's mother, Shen Qiuhua, from the Shen family. She walked out of the house and saw Shen Qiuhua's appearance under the moonlight.
Su Binglan felt bitter when she saw Shen Qiuhua's aged appearance. Shen Qiuhua had to work hard to earn some copper coins even though she was much older than her peers. Her hair had turned gray from her old age.
Shen Qiuhua did not notice Su Binglan's strange behavior. She held Su Binglan's hand and said, "Binglan, why aren't you saying anything? Is something wrong? Oh, I went to town and washed some clothes for someone and earned a few copper coins for the month. You can use them for yourself."
"Your three brothers can also earn some money. I'll bring some back when they're done. Please don't be sad."
Su Binglan listened to Shen Qiuhua's flattering words and did not know what to say. Her predecessor was indeed a treasured family member.
This was because Su Binglan's predecessor had whined and made a fuss. The Sus were even more obedient to her, afraid she would cause trouble if they didn't give her what she wanted.
Su Binglan's predecessor was the reason her three brothers struggled. Her parents had sent them away to work in the town. Besides, her three brothers were willing to dote on their younger sister.
If Su Binglan's predecessor didn't appreciate her family, Su Binglan would. She couldn't bear to watch her loving family suffer. Such kinship made one feel a warmth in their heart.
