The Sickly General's Wife With A Spatial Ability Is Loved By All

214 About the Wei Family’s Army

Liu Yinyin’s parents were good people and sincerely hoped Liu Yinyin would live a good life. They even told her to live with her husband and not worry about them.

Shen Qiuhua always did well in etiquette, and Liu Yinyin saw it all. She would be lying if she said her mother-in-law’s actions did not move her.

Therefore, Liu Yinyin was even more focused on living her life with Su Wenzhe and was dutiful to her in-laws. She knew in her heart that only by being good to each other could they retain their good relationship in the long run.

Shen Qiuhua remembered Liu Yinyin’s parents sending food to the Su family in the past so the Su family could have a full meal. However, Liu Yinyin’s family had worked hard to harvest that food, and the Su family felt guilty.

Therefore, Shen Qiuhua told Liu Yinyin to bring more food with her when she visited her family.

Su Wenzhe looked at the dumplings Su Binglan had arranged on the table and said, “Mother, let’s eat. We have plenty of time to prepare things for Yinyin tomorrow.”

“Right, everyone is hungry. Let’s eat.”

Indeed, it was late in the evening. If it were any other day, the family would have already eaten. Since Su Wenxiu had finally returned, everyone wanted to eat something delicious together. Like a reunion dinner.

Su Fengmao suggested, “Since Wenxiu and Binglan are home, do you guys want to drink some wine?”

Shen Qiuhua glanced at Su Fengmao, saying, “We don’t have any more wine.”

Su Binglan stood up and brought over a bottle of wine. “Father, I bought you this wine.”

She bought souvenirs for everyone on her journey, and the bottle of wine was for her father. Su Binglan knew Su Fengmao liked to drink but was usually reluctant to buy wine or even take a sip because even the most common loose wine was expensive.

Su Fengmao looked at the wine bottle and could not hide his smile. “You’re so thoughtful, Binglan.” He could smell the fragrance of the wine.

Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “You like this type of wine, Fengmao. Also, you didn’t take much money with you, Binglan. How did you manage to buy something like this?”

Su Wenxiu looked at the dumplings when he heard his mother’s doubt. He said, “Mother, don’t you know how capable your daughter is? Her medical skills are excellent. She met and saved many on her journey, and they paid her a medical fee, so Binglan used that money to buy souvenirs for you all.”

Everyone perked up when they heard that. Su Wenzhe said, “S-So, I have a souvenir too? I wonder what Binglan bought for us.” He became curious and wanted to know what his little sister bought for him.

Su Wenxiu said, “We have many things, Big Brother.”

Everyone looked at Su Binglan in unison as she said smilingly, “Let’s eat first. I’ll give everyone their presents when we finish dinner.”

Su Fengmao picked up his chopsticks. “All right, let’s eat.” Only then did everyone officially start eating.

Su Wenzhe had tried one or two dumplings earlier, but it was not enough for him, so he held his plate and ate heartily. He said contentedly, “This is very delicious, Binglan.”

Su Wenxiu also ate very quickly. “I agree, Big Brother.” He had to eat fast when he was in the capital. Otherwise, there would not be enough food left, so he developed a fast eating habit. He chewed the dumplings and puffed his cheeks when he spoke.

Su Fengmao ate a few mouthfuls and kept nodding. Then he held the wine bottle and said, “Here, I’ll pour some wine for everyone.”

“Father, let me do that.” Su Wenxiu stood up, took the wine from his father’s hand, and poured it. He poured some for his father first, then his big brother, and Luo Jin’an. “You can drink some too, Brother-in-law.”

Luo Jin’an remained silent, but Su Binglan, beside him, blocked the glass and said, “Jin’an can’t drink wine, Second Brother. He’ll just drink water instead.”

She remembered how Luo Jin’an was after drinking wine last time. She discovered he could not handle alcohol and how easily her husband got drunk.

Su Wenxiu said, “I won’t pour too much, Little Sister. Just a few mouthfuls.”

Su Binglan said sternly, “He can’t even drink a single mouthful.”

Su Wenxiu looked at his little sister’s expression and dared not pour any more wine. He felt a trace of bitterness in his heart. He glanced at Luo Jin’an, and Su Binglan looked at him thoughtfully.

Su Wenxiu said smilingly, “Binglan doesn’t want you to drink wine because she cares about you. You’re so lucky to marry my little sister, Jin’an.”

Luo Jin’an said calmly, “Well, I cherish it.” His words were light, but everyone heard them.

Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She wondered if she was hallucinating. ‘W-What did he just say?’

She turned to look at her husband, who was just sitting there calmly. Luo Jin’an’s expression was natural, and no one could tell what he thought.

Su Binglan guessed that her husband’s words were for everyone to hear and that it was probably just for show.

Shen Qiuhua was delighted to see her son-in-law and daughter’s relationship blooming. “Wenxiu, your brother-in-law can’t drink, so it’s better if he doesn’t.”

Luo Jin’an was an excellent son-in-law in her eyes. He was diligent, had no bad habits, and treated Su Binglan well.

“You should eat more, Jin’an,” said Shen Qiuhua.

“Thank you, Mother-in-law.”

Su Binglan had also prepared vinegar and garlic sauce. “Dip the dumplings in this sauce. They will taste even better.”

Everyone listened to her and dipped the dumplings in the vinegar sauce. The taste was significantly different. The family ate enthusiastically and asked Su Binglan about her journey.

There were no rules against talking and eating in Su Teng Village as everyone was used to chatting while eating.

Su Binglan said, “The journey was pretty good. It’s just that there were wars out there. Still, Dingzhou is safer now, and there won’t be any significant disturbances for the time being. Everyone there can live peacefully now.”

Su Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that things have calmed down there. I know everyone just wants to live peaceful and stable lives. There should never be riots.”

Shen Qiuhua was eating dumplings as she sighed emotionally. “Thinking back, your father and I have experienced riots and wars. It was a difficult time.”

Su Wenxiu did not say a word. He knew it was not as simple as that, but there were some things he and his little sister could not tell their parents. Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua would be worried if the two siblings revealed too much.

After all, they were in Dingzhou. It would still be safe for the next one to two years.

“But the legendary major general of Chu Country died back then. Also, I heard that the crown prince and his people were involved.”

Su Fengmao said, “I know. We knew the border would be safe in the past since the Wei family and their army was around. Now that the Wei family is gone, everyone lives in fear of a war happening.”

…

Luo Jin’an did not say anything as he lowered his head and quietly ate his dumplings. He exuded an elegant and otherworldly aura. No one could guess what he was thinking. The others did not know whether or not he was paying attention to the conversation.

After dinner, Su Binglan took out all the souvenirs she had gotten. She bought a silver bracelet for her mother. Shen Qiuhua looked at the bracelet and put it down. “It’s beautiful, Binglan!”
