61 The Fragrance of Soybeans


    Su Binn continued, “It’s not that easy to make them change their ways. They’re too unruly. So, I thought we should let them help us with the stall. They will only know what it feels like to earn money with hard work.”


    “It’s rudimentary, honestly. It would be pointless just to talk. We must let Lin Zheng and the others work, so we can change how they think.”


    Liu Yinyin looked at Su Binn admiringly. The things Su Binn said touched her. She knew her sister-inw had changed for the better.


    Still, Liu Yinyin never expected Su Binn to be so wise. She even felt that Su Binn was exuding a profound aura. She also wondered when Su Binn learned martial arts and how she didn’t find out about it.


    No wonder Su Binn was confident even though she was about to get robbed. Su Binn wasn’t even worried that they outnumbered her. It turned out she also possessed formidable martial arts skills.


    Of course, Liu Yinyin was clever. She knew what to ask and what not to.


    “Also, we can’t speak of this to our family, Sister-inw,” Su Binn said, “I’m afraid they will be worried.”


    Liu Yinyin nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, Binn. I won’t tell them about this.”


    Then Liu Yinyin thought of something and asked, “So, what if the teenagers don’t show up at the stall tomorrow? Will you go and look for them?”


    Su Binn said smilingly, “I don’t have the time to do that. I said some scary things to them and gave them a way out. Whether they’re willing toply or not depends on them.”


    Liu Yinyin understood what Su Binn meant, and the two continued their journey home. Meanwhile, Su Binn felt someone’s gaze burning on her as they walked home.


    However, she couldn’t sense the person’s aura. She felt she was too sensitive and paranoid because if there were someone following them, that person would have shown up long ago.


    There was barely any movement on the way back to the vige, so Su Binn held Liu Yinyin’s hand and hurried home. Su Binn didn’t notice that it was Luo Jin’an who was the one following them.


    Luo Jin’an could hide his presence, so even though Su Binn possessed exceptional perception, she could barely sense it.


    Luo Jin’an stood at the vige entrance and looked at Su Binn’s figure, his expression flickering. He had profound and conflicted emotions in his eyes as he stood under the night sky.


    The autumn wind ruffled Luo Jin’an’s clothes, making his demeanor elegant and noble. He resembled a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world.


    Su Binn and Liu Yinyin became excited when they saw the vige, especially Liu Yinyin, who ran to the Su family residence excitedly. She wanted to tell her inws how much they earned that night.


    In the past, she couldn’t even earn one silver tael from growing grains and crops for an entire year. However, she had earned more than one silver tael in just one night.


    She couldn’t describe her excitement and was eager to share her joy with her inws. Moreover, the Su family would soon be better off with this way of earning money.


    “Father, Mother, we’re home!”


    Su Binn and Liu Yintin smelled an enticing aroma as soon as they entered the house. Su Binn’s heart skipped a beat as it was the aroma of the soybeans they collected. It was a fragrance that made one feel a sense of nostalgia.


    …


    Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua were not idle. The husband and wife were grinding the soybeans with a small stone in the courtyard.


    Shen Qiuhua turned the stone mill while Su Fengmai helped put the soybeans in and collected the finished soymilk.


    When the couple heard Su Binn and Liu Yinyine home, they put down their work and eximed, “You’re home! How did it go?!”
