Feng Sisi blushed as she exclaimed shyly, “Mother-in-law!”
Mrs. Liu knew Feng Sisi was embarrassed, so she said affectionately, “It’s better to have more children. It’ll be more lively, and Henger can take care of his younger sibling.
“Now that we have this shop, we can make a lot of money monthly as long as we work hard. It’ll be enough to pay for your children’s school fees, and we won’t starve or mistreat them.
“Your father-in-law and I are in good health now, so we can help you look after them. You don’t need to feel burdened.”
Mrs. Liu’s words touched Feng Sisi. “Mother-in-law, I thought the same thing. It’ll be good for Heng’er to have siblings. It’s good that Yinyin and Chengwen have each other as siblings. I can see how close they are, especially in crucial moments.”
Feng Sisi never thought so previously and assumed her brother and sister-in-law never treated her as family. She felt things would not have turned out this way if not for Liu Chengwen.
However, after marrying into the Liu family, Feng Sisi realized that siblings in some families were closer than others. Even the Su family was similar. If the siblings had a good relationship, they would care for each other and work together. Then their days would improve.
Moreover, Liu Chengwen would not have recovered from the snake bite if he did not have Liu Yinyin as his sister and if Liu Yinyin did not marry Su Wenzhe, who had Su Binglan as his sister.
Feng Sisi became fearful when she thought about that. Therefore, she knew she had to deal with things according to the situation.
The Liu family had a good atmosphere, so she still wanted Liu Heng’er to have a younger sibling. After all, she and Liu Chengwen would grow old one day, and their children would have siblings to rely on. She would educate her children well and let the siblings build an unbreakable bond.
When Mrs. Liu heard Feng Sisi’s words, she smiled and said, ‘Yinyin told me she was grateful that you let her and her two children stay with us back then.
She doesn’t know how to tell you, but I do.”
Fing Sisi was embarrassed when her mother-in-law said that. She replied, “Of course, I’m Yinyin’s sister-in-law. Still, it was normal for her to want to return to her mother-in-law’s house. After all, we’re family, so what else could I say?”
She remembered not saying anything to anyone else, but she did complain to Liu Chengwen once in a while. Even so, she was just venting and would not stop her sister-in-law from doing anything.
Feng Sisi felt guilty now that she thought about it. Fortunately, she did not speak ill before everyone without thinking.
Mrs. Liu knew what her daughter-in-law was like. Feng Sisi had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
However, she knew that as parents, they had to mediate relationships between siblings. After all) talking more about similar interests would benefit the family’s harmony.
Su Binglan went to Blue Mountain Academy with a basket. The academy was northwest of the desert, but it only took 15 minutes to get there. The northern side was remote, with ample open space around the academy. There was also a mountain behind it.
She looked at the space, and thoughts began to form in her mind. In the modern world, many people would open shops around the school. If many children went to school, it would form more foot traffic.
Furthermore, Blue Mountain Academy had accepted many students from the surrounding areas. Still, Su Binglan was too busy and could not care much about that.
As she stood at the door thinking, two people walked out of Blue Mountain Academy. It was Doctor Wu and his apprentice. Doctor Wu became excited when he saw Su Binglan. “Miss Su?”
Su Binglan returned to her senses and greeted the man, “Doctor Wu, why are you here?”
She noticed the medicine box in Doctor Wu’s hand and wondered if someone from the academy had gotten sick. Her expression immediately turned cold.
“There was a student,” Doctor Wu sighed, “He didn’t have lunch, so he passed out. The kid lost his mother, so no one cooks for him. Also, his family’s conditions are terrible, so they can’t afford food.
“What else could he do but go hungry? After going hungry for so long, his
body could no longer take it, causing him to faint.” Doctor Wu shook his head after speaking.
He had seen too many people who had it hard. He wanted to help but could not. He could only charge lower medical fees when treating and saving people. Sometimes, he even had to handle the fees himself.
Su Binglan’s heart became heavy when she heard those things. “Don’t worry,
Doctor Wu. Everything will get better.”
Doctor Wu knew Su Binglan was trying to comfort him. “Yes, they will. These children can attend Blue Mountain Academy. They are very knowledgeable and will naturally have a good life in the future.”
He was about to walk out with his medicine box when he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Miss Su. Your Second Brother hasn’t been to the clinic these past few days. He came once before and said he was home growing medicinal herbs and learning from you.
“I also heard you consulted the villagers for free a few days ago, and the medicine you prescribed cured many people. I genuinely admire you, Miss Su.”
He had been a doctor for a long time and had encountered many things. He also wanted to help as many people as possible, but he was powerless.
The primary reason was that the Wu family was a family of doctors, so he did not have the final say. Moreover, the Wu family collected and sorted their medicinal herbs. The cost was high, so it was impossible to sell at low prices.
That was why he knew Su Binglan could treat the villagers at such low costs. He also heard that Su Wenxiu had personally planted herbs and sold them at low prices.
Doctor Wu truly admired Su Binglan from the bottom of his heart. He wondered how many people would benefit if there were more people like Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu. Then everyone would no longer look down on patients.
“You’re a good doctor too, Doctor Wu,” Su Binglan said softly. Doctor Wu replied, “I would like to work for you if you open a clinic, Miss Su.” He knew Su Binglan was doing good things for the people.
Su Binglan’s expression changed as she said, “I’ll take you up on that, Doctor
Wu. I would like you to work with us if we open a clinic.”
“Of course, you’re doing good things for the people, Miss Su. Besides, I can learn a lot from you.” Doctor Wu was speaking from his heart.
However, he did not realize that Su Binglan would not open a clinic but a medical school.
After talking to Doctor Wu for a while, Su Binglan carried her things and entered the Blue Mountain Academy. This time, she was a little dazed.
She had not been to the academy for a long time. She remembered consistently delivering lunch to Blue Mountain Academy at noon when she opened her dessert shop.
The academy was relatively deserted when she entered. There would typically be many people in the academy during noon, and it would be lively. That was because it was time for class.
Su Binglan walked in with her basket. The guards recognized her and invited her in respectfully.
When she passed by an area in the front yard, she saw a large empty shed and asked, “What is this place?
“We’re unsure, Miss Su. We heard that they built this shed when Blue Mountain Academy was established. It has been empty all this while, and we don’t know its use.
Su Binglan was in deep thought as she listened. She felt this place was suitable for building a cafeteria. Then it would be convenient for the academy students to eat.
However, neither academies nor private schools had cafeterias in this era. That was probably because no one had thought of such a thing..
