Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

Chapter 60 Success Comes Naturally, Grateful for Your Kindness

Success is achieved with the arrival of water; we are grateful for your kind hospitality.

The next day, Su Yunlan arrived at the riverbank early.

She carefully put away the few precious medicinal herbs she had taken out of her space last night, tucking them into her bosom.

The morning sunlight filtered through the sparse shadows of the trees, falling on her. She took a deep breath, the air filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, which strengthened her resolve.

"Husband, I have to go out for a while, I'll be back soon," Su Yunlan said to Xiao Yuhan, who was doing his morning exercise.

Xiao Yuhan nodded slightly.

Su Yunlan left quickly and headed to the herbal medicine shop in town.

The merchant's eyes lit up when he saw the rare medicinal herbs in her hand. "Madam, the herbs you hold are truly priceless. May I ask what you intend to do with them?"

"I want to exchange some silver," Su Yunlan said bluntly.

The merchant's eyes darted around, then he nodded. "Deal, madam, please wait a moment."

The transaction was completed successfully, and Su Yunlan returned to the village with enough funds.

She looked tired, but her eyes shone with determination.

She found Village Chief Wang, called him aside, and whispered, "Village Chief, I have a solution."

Village Chief Wang looked at her with a skeptical expression. "Wife, do you really have a way?"

“Of course.” Su Yunlan said confidently, “I will use this silver to pay part of the craftsmen’s wages first, and we will continue to raise the rest.”

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Wang's

Next, Su Yunlan began to tackle the biggest problem in the project—Craftsman Liu.

She found several experienced old craftsmen in the exile group and begged them to help guide craftsman Liu.

“Master Liu, these are several experienced craftsmen. They are willing to help you and hope you can learn humbly.” Su Yunlan’s tone was firm yet calm.

Taking advantage of your arrogant expression, Craftsman Liu glanced at the old craftsmen and finally nodded, "Alright, I'm willing to follow their guidance."

Su Yunlan felt relieved. She turned around and thanked the old craftsmen, "Thank you all for your help. The smooth progress of the project is inseparable from everyone's efforts."

The old craftsmen smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

In the following days, the project progressed rapidly. Under the guidance of several veteran craftsmen, Liu's skills gradually improved, and the villagers' enthusiasm also increased significantly.

Whenever Su Yunlan passed by the construction site, he could hear the busy hammering of the craftsmen and the laughter of the villagers, which filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

Finally, the water conservancy project was successfully completed thanks to everyone's efforts.

Su Yunlan stood by the river, watching the clear water flow by, while the villagers' faces were filled with joy and gratitude.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she felt a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the sky, dark clouds gathered, and a strong wind howled.

Su Yunlan frowned slightly, then turned to the villagers and said loudly, "Don't panic, everyone! Proceed according to the plan we discussed earlier!"

The villagers sprang into action, and Su Yunlan, standing on high ground, directed everyone to respond in an orderly manner while secretly considering the next step in her plan.

As the raindrops fell, her gaze grew even more resolute.

Large raindrops pelted down, instantly turning the world into a white expanse.

The gale, carrying rain, lashed at people like countless tiny whips.

The river rose, its turbid waves churning and roaring deafeningly.

The once peaceful fields were instantly transformed into a vast expanse of water.

Faced with the sudden downpour, the villagers panicked, and some even started crying out.

Just then, Su Yunlan's voice rang out like a stabilizing force: "Everyone, don't panic! Reinforce the dikes and dredge the ditches immediately, according to the plan we discussed earlier!"

Her voice was calm and powerful, carrying a convincing strength.

The villagers seemed to have found their leader and began to take action.

The men braved the wind and rain, carrying sandbags to reinforce the riverbank; the women used wooden buckets and basins to scoop the accumulated water out of the fields.

The children also joined in, helping to move tools and pass messages.

Su Yunlan stood on high ground, his gaze sharp, directing the crowd.

Rain soaked her clothes and streamed down her face, but she didn't care at all.

She had only one thought in her mind: to save the village and preserve everyone's hope.

Under her direction, the villagers carried out the rescue work in an orderly manner.

The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, replaced by a determination to unite as one and overcome difficulties together.

The rain gradually subsided and eventually stopped.

The sky cleared, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the wet fields and refracting a rainbow of colors.

Looking at everything before her, Su Yunlan let out a long sigh of relief.

She knew that while the torrential rain brought danger, it also tested the quality of the water conservancy project.

The project was completed ahead of schedule.

Clear river water flows slowly into the parched farmland along the newly built irrigation canals.

The once cracked land greedily absorbed the water and regained its vitality.

The villagers cheered and spread the news.

They gathered around Su Yunlan, their gratitude overflowing.

"Madam Su, you are truly our great benefactor!" Village Chief Wang excitedly grasped Su Yunlan's hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Yes, Madam Su, you saved our entire village!" the villagers echoed.

Looking at the joyful faces, Su Yunlan felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She knew that everything she did was worth it.

"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts," Su Yunlan said modestly.

As the sun sets, its golden rays spill onto the shimmering water, creating a beautiful scene.

Su Yunlan stood by the river, gazing at this vibrant land, her heart filled with hope.

Suddenly, a warm, large hand gently grasped her hand...

Xiao Yuhan's gaze followed Su Yunlan's figure closely, his deep, dark eyes filled with tenderness and love.

He looked at her profile, which was gilded by the setting sun, and felt a strong urge to protect her and a sense of pride well up inside him.

She, his wife, with her wisdom and resilience, transformed this arid land and illuminated his gloomy world.

Su Yunlan felt Xiao Yuhan's burning gaze, turned her head, and their eyes met in the air, a silent understanding flowing between them.

Seeing the deep affection in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile gently.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, as if coating them with a warm halo, and a cozy atmosphere quietly spread between them.

Village Chief Wang walked shakily to Su Yunlan, bowed, and said with a choked voice, "Madam Su, on behalf of the whole village, thank you. You are our great benefactor!" Behind him, the villagers also knelt down and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Madam Su!" Their voices were loud and clear, filled with heartfelt gratitude and respect.

Su Yunlan quickly helped Village Chief Wang up and said softly, "Village Chief, everyone, please get up. This is all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. I only did my bit." Her gaze swept over the villagers, and seeing the joy on their faces and their anticipation for the future, she felt gratified.

Zhang Fuhu, who had once mocked her, now lowered his head, his face full of shame; Liu the craftsman, who had always been arrogant, was now filled with admiration.

Su Yunlan knew that she had won everyone's approval with her actions, and had silenced those who had doubted her.

A surge of triumphant accomplishment welled up within her, and she felt as if she were standing atop a mountain, overlooking the land she had transformed.

At this moment, Xiao Yuhan silently walked to Su Yunlan's side, gently holding her soft hand in his broad palm, feeling the warmth of her hand.

His movements were silent, yet full of power, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would always stand by her side, support her, and protect her.

Su Yunlan grasped his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a sense of peace settled in her heart.

Just then, a slightly anxious voice broke the silence, "Yunlan, look..." Before Xiao Yuhan could finish speaking, another group of people were walking towards them from a distance, each of them with an indescribable excitement on their face.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the shimmering water, reflecting the joyful smiles of the villagers.

The newly built irrigation canal, like a silver ribbon, meanders into the distance, delivering clear river water to the parched farmland.

The air was filled with the fragrance of earth, mixed with the joy of harvest, which was refreshing and delightful.

Su Yunlan stood by the irrigation ditch, a gentle breeze ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead.

Looking at the vibrant land before her, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The villagers surrounded her, expressing their gratitude in a cacophony of voices.

"Madam Su, you are truly a living Bodhisattva! If it weren't for you, our entire harvest this year would be ruined!" An old farmer excitedly grasped Su Yunlan's hand, tears glistening in his cloudy eyes.

“Yes, Madam Su, you are truly our great benefactor!” another villager echoed, his voice choked with emotion.

Su Yunlan felt a surge of warmth as she looked at the smiles blooming on those weathered faces.

She knew that everything she did was worth it.

"Fellow villagers, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I only did my bit," Su Yunlan said modestly, with a gentle smile on her face.

In the crowd, Village Chief Wang, leaning on his cane, walked shakily to Su Yunlan and bowed deeply: "Madam Su, on behalf of the entire village, I thank you. You are our savior!"

Su Yunlan quickly helped Village Chief Wang up and said softly, "Village Chief, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fine horse galloping towards them, the rider dressed in black, looking travel-worn.

The horse stopped in front of the crowd, and the rider dismounted, quickly walked to Su Yunlan, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Madam Su, my master has urgent business and requests your presence!"

Su Yunlan was slightly taken aback, and felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

She turned to look at Xiao Yuhan, only to see his brows furrowed.

"What happened?" Su Yunlan asked.

The man looked grave and said in a low voice, "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that after receiving an urgent letter, the master immediately sent me to invite you over."

Su Yunlan's doubts deepened. She nodded to Xiao Yuhan and then said to the newcomer, "Lead the way."

After saying this, she followed the person who came and mounted her horse, galloping away into the distance, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with questions and worries.

As Xiao Yuhan watched Su Yunlan's departing figure, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, silently praying that she would be safe and sound.
