The old woman was still in shock as she asked, “Are these good things, young
“Yeah, they’re excellent for making scrambled eggs. You can try it at home.” Su Binglan knew the eggs would still taste great with the tomatoes even if the old woman did not adjust the taste properly.
Su Binglan felt hungry just thinking about tomato scrambled eggs. She knew what she and the others would have for dinner tonight.
“Thank you so much, young lady.” The old woman happily prepared to return to the village with her earnings.
“Madam, you can come with us since we’re heading the same way. Join us in our carriage.”
“Oh, no, it’s okay. I’ll just walk home.” The old woman knew Su Binglan had already helped her a lot, so she could not bring herself to trouble the young lady anymore.
Moreover, the old woman’s clothes were filthy from foraging the tomatoes. Since Su Binglan’s carriage looked new and clean, the old woman did not want to mess it up.
She hesitated even though Su Binglan had insisted on taking her home. “But
I’m covered in mud, young lady. I—
“We won’t mind at all, madam. We have things to do in Yang Village, and it’s already late. Do you have a place to stay for the night?”
The old woman hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. I have a place to stay.”
Her family had built a house with stones in the village. The house had six rooms, and the old woman hoped her son would get married and have kids.
Although it took effort to build the house, it did not cost much.
There was also plenty of room to stay.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Then we’ll have to trouble you to join us in the carriage and show us the way.”
“All right, that sounds like a deal.” The old woman followed Su Binglan into the carriage but felt very reserved.
Doctor Yang was stunned when she saw the old woman. “Aunt Yang?!”
The old woman looked at Doctor Yang and said in surprise, ‘Yang Ge l er?! Is that really you, Ge’er? You’re alive!”
Doctor Yang was happy to see her grandaunt. She quickly introduced her husband and son to Grandaunt Yang. The latter was delighted to see Doctor Yangs family.
They immediately started catching up with each other in the carriage.
Su Binglan learned that Grandaunt Yang was Doctor Yangs grandfather’s younger sister. Doctor Yang had left the village when her parents passed away. Some even said that she had fallen off a cliff and died.
Although Doctor Yang did fall off a cliff while picking herbs, she did not die.
Instead, she fell into the water and was severely injured. That was when
Doctor Lin first met and saved her. Later, the two got married and had a son.
After having their son, Doctor Yang had to care for him and could not return to the Yang Village for some time. However, she had never forgotten her home. She also wanted to become more capable before returning to help her people,
Doctor Yang did not expect to be away for several years and felt it had all passed in the blink of an eye. She became teary-eyed as she spoke to Grandaunt Yang.
Doctor Yang missed her home and loved ones. After all, she grew up in Yang Village. She then asked how her grandaunt was doing. It turned out the old woman’s son had broken his leg when he went to gather herbs up the mountain.
Since Grandaunt Yangs daughter-in-law was pregnant with a second child, the latter could not do much. Therefore, the old woman went to the mountains to pick tomatoes to sell at her stall.
Grandaunt Yang wanted to earn money so she could buy food for her daughter-in-law and help nourish her body. The old woman sighed when she talked about this.
Su Binglan realized how dangerous it was for the villagers to pick herbs on the mountain. After all, the mountains were steep and dangerous. Although the villagers made a living with herbs, it was a treacherous job to do.
Su Binglan could imagine how great it would be if she could plant herbs in large quantities. She asked, “Doctor Yang, do all the villagers know about medicinal herbs?”
Doctor Yang nodded. “They do. Everyone knows the basics and can identify most herbs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know what to pick and what not to pick. Since that’s the case, the villagers can plant and harvest herbs in large quantities.”
“Everyone is trying to grow herbs,” Grandaunt Yang said, “Still, some herbs can’t grow here at all. We can only pick them from the mountain.”
Su Binglan had a way to do this. If she could keep the herbs that were harder to grow in the village in her pocket dimension, they would adapt to the soil and overgrow. “Let’s take a look at the situation first.”
She discovered this place had beautiful mountains and clear waters. There was also plenty of land to build factories. The sky was dark when they reached the village. Every household had finished their dinner and closed their doors.
Not many noticed the carriage entering the village. However, the dogs would bark from time to time. Since Grandaunt Yangs house was at the end of the village, the group waited until the carriage reached the end.
At that moment, a little boy about then years old ran out. ‘Grandma, you’re finally back! ”
He was worried that his grandmother returned so late. He ran out of the house when he heard the dogs barking.
Grandaunt Yang was happy to see her grandson. “Yes, I am. Did you behave yourself today?”
“l did, Grandma.’
Then, a pregnant woman came to the entrance. She was shocked when she saw Su Binglan and the others. However, the woman immediately recognized Doctor Yang. “Y-Yang Geer?!”
Doctor Yang excitedly greeted the woman, “Hello, Sister-in-law.”
Then, the former squatted and looked at the little boy. He was only about two to three years old before Doctor Yang left the village. Many years had already passed since then.
Doctor Yang called her husband and son over to greet the family. Meanwhile, Grandaunt Yangs son, Yang Cheng, appeared with a walking stick. Since he had broken his leg, he was a little clumsy.
Grandaunt Yang told her son and daughter-in-law about Su Binglan and the others. Soon after, Lady Liu warmly welcomed everyone. “Mother-in-law, you can rest. I’ll cook some food for our guests.”
She had only cooked dinner for her family that night, so there was not much left.
Su Binglan said, “That’s okay. We brought some ingredients. Please let me cook for you tonight. I’d like to try using the tomatoes.”
“Those fruits you bought from me are called tomatoes?” Grandaunt Yang asked.
“Yeah, that’s their name. I’ve seen it somewhere else before, so I know how good they are. I can make many dishes with these tomatoes. I’ll make tomato scrambled eggs first.”
Su Binglan took out a few steamed buns and rice cakes. She continued, “You can reheat these buns and rice cakes. We’ll eat them later.’
Lady Liu was shocked when she saw Su Binglan taking out so much food. The former looked at Grandaunt Yang and stammered, “M – Mother-in-law…
That’s…
“Miss Su is a good person,” Grandaunt Yang said, “I’ll help her while you rest, okay?”
Since Lady Liu was pregnant, the old woman was worried she would get tired. Doctor Yang said, “Let me reheat the buns and rice cakes, Grandaunt. You and Lady Liu should rest..”
