Earning Money and Becoming Rich“Hack! Cough!”

Su Binglan felt that Luo Jin’an’s cough was worsening.

‘Did I provoke him?’ She was helpless. It was the first time she’s ever done such a thing.

“Don’t get agitated. I hope you don’t overthink what happened just now. Besides, we’re husband and wife, so it’s normal for us to kiss, right?”

Even though Su Binglan tried to speak confidently, her voice became increasingly quiet toward the end of her sentence. She still felt guilty in the end.

Sometimes, Su Binglan was fierce, but other times she was awkward and shy. Alas, the more she explained, the more she confused herself.

Luo Jin’an coughed a few times to calm himself down. Then he said lowly, “Thank you for your help.”

Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Luo Jin’an’s thanks. It seemed that he knew Su Binglan was trying to feed him medicine.

“Since you are awake, you should down the medicine.” With that, Su Binglan handed the bowl to Luo Jin’an.

Luo Jin’an propped himself up and took the bowl from Su Binglan. He held the bowl with his slender fingers but did drink from it. He only stared at Su Binglan with a terrifying expression in his captivating eyes.

Su Binglan lowered her head and avoided eye contact, not saying a word. Then Luo Jin’an asked, “Did you brew this medicine for me, Madam?” His voice was delightful to the ears, low and mellow. Luo Jin’an’s voice alone could quickly tug at one’s heartstrings.

When Su Binglan heard the man’s question, she nodded and replied, “Yes, I did.” Then she realized what she had said. Her predecessor didn’t know a thing about pharmacology. Luo Jin’an would grow suspicious of her if she admitted brewing the medicine.

Su Binglan lowered her head as her eyelashes fluttered. She thought about what to say and explained, “I-I knew a few things about pharmacology, but I hurt my head and got a slight case of amnesia. I remembered a lot of things when I fell into the river. That’s how I made the medicine.”

Su Binglan was herself, but at the same time, not. There was a deeper meaning behind her answer. She vaguely mentioned that she “woke up.”

Su Binglan had learned a lot of things in her past life and didn’t intend to hide it. She knew that she couldn’t become rich if she kept her knowledge a secret. She needed to earn money to buy precious herbs for Luo Jin’an and cure his illness.

Even if Su Binglan tried to keep her knowledge a secret, she would fail. Luo Jin’an would undoubtedly find out with his intelligence.

Su Binglan thought that she might as well make up an excuse and vaguely admit her knowledge. “Don’t worry. I made this with the medicinal herbs you bought me earlier. There are small amounts of herbs there just to drive out the cold. You’ll feel better after you drink it.”

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan, who had her head lowered. It was already late at night, and the moonlight shone into the room, illuminating Su Binglan’s face. The moonlight gave her a beguiling appearance.

Luo Jin’an’s gaze deepened, but he still drank the medicine.

Su Binglan watched Luo Jin’an drink the medicine and said with a sigh of relief, “Since you’ve drank the medicine, I suggest you get some rest.”

Luo Jin’an lifted the quilt and said softly, “I owe the doctor some money for the medicine I bought three days ago. I will return to the mountain and hunt. Maybe then I can sell my prey and pay the doctor back tomorrow morning.”

Looking at Luo Jin’an and hearing his words, Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and heard his words. Her heart ached when she thought of her predecessor’s horrible doings toward Luo Jin’an.

Su Binglan held Luo Jin’an’s hand and said, “Your body is in terrible condition. You need your rest. You don’t have to worry about the money. I plan to go into town with my mother tomorrow morning and sell my makeup and powder. I should get a decent amount of money from them.”
