Chapter 20
The Su Family Doted on Their Daughter
Naturally, Su Binglan noticed the look in Luo Jin’an’s eyes and knew what he suspected. But even if she wanted to explain herself, she wouldn’t know how. Instead, she just feigned ignorance.
Luo Jin’an wouldn’t ask anyway. Even if he did, Su Binglan wouldn’t answer truthfully. It was just like how Luo Jin’an had his own secrets. He wouldn’t tell Su Binglan about them either.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan used the pig’s blood and braised pork to make some green vegetable soup. The fragrance of freshly cooked food filled the entire house.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao had not eaten a full meal for a long time, let alone such a delicious meal.
“It smells so good!” Shen Qiuhua did not expect her daughter to be so good at cooking.
Su Binglan had eaten countless delicacies in the past, but today, she felt that her food was exceptionally delicious.
Was it because she was in a different era?
“The food will only get better and better once we have a better life. I’ll make you all whatever you want to eat.”
Su Binglan’s words touched Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua, rendering them speechless.
The Su family doted on their daughter, and villagers gossiped about it. But the Su family loved to dote on their daughter no matter what the villagers said.
The villagers would feel envious if they found out that Su Binglan was cooking delicious food for her family.
When Su Binglan finished cooking, they sat at the dining table and ate. However, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao didn’t eat much.
Su Binglan looked at her parents’ bowls and asked, “Mother? Father? Why aren’t you eating?”
Then Shen Qiuhua said embarrassedly, “Um, Binglan. Would you allow your eldest sister-in-law and two nephews to come home?”
When Shen Qiuhua spoke, she was afraid that her daughter would be unhappy, so she hurriedly explained, “I-I won’t ask them to stay for long. I only want them to have some of the delicious food you made.”
Even though Shen Qiuhua thought the world of her daughter, she felt bad for not caring about her grandchildren. Moreover, she felt guilty for eating this delicious food while her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren had to eat basic food.
No matter how good Su Binglan’s food was, Shen Qiuhua couldn’t bear to eat it. Su Fengmao also felt the same way since they were parents and grandparents. They couldn’t bear to care about themselves while forgetting about others.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao would feel better if their eldest daughter-in-law and two grandchildren could eat their fill.
However, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao sent their eldest son to earn money and support their family while their eldest daughter-in-law brought her sons to her parents’ home.
Su Binglan was stunned when she heard her mother’s request. Then she thought of her eldest brother and his wife.
Su Binglan’s three older brothers were sister-obsessed, while her eldest sister-in-law was exceedingly virtuous with a decent family.
However, Su Binglan’s eldest sister-in-law had taken things from her family to finance the Su family. Moreover, because Su Binglan’s predecessor was a materialistic person, her eldest sister-in-law had no choice but to take her two children to live with her mother.
Su Binglan’s eldest sister-in-law did this so that the Su family could save some food and money for themselves. Strangely, her eldest sister-in-law did not complain.
Su Binglan’s nephews also learned that it was only fitting for their aunt to eat more than them. Su Binglan started to sweat at this thought.
“I seemed to have forgotten about them, Mother and Father. But we should eat first since they are quite a distance away from us. We’ll get someone to send Sister-in-law a message and ask her to bring Xuexuan and Xuehai over to stay when lunch is over.”
“Since we’ve bought a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes for cheap, we can cook some more delicious food for them tonight.”
Su Binglan’s eldest brother and sister-in-law had two sons, one was the six-year-old Su Xuexuan, and the other was the four-year-old Su Xuehai.
She could make them some potato chips and other snacks since they were only children.
