Su Bin turned to Su Lan and inquired, "Sister, when did Brother Shanmin come back? Is he going back to the army?"
Su Lan blushed slightly before responding, "His right foot is injured, and he limps a little. If he does farm work, it won't affect him much, but he can't stay in the military camp anymore."
Qin Zhenzhen found it curious - was there a deeper connection between Su Lan and this mountain man? Otherwise, why would she blush when talking about him?
"You hired him?" Qin Zhenzhen asked.
Su Lan's face turned even redder as she replied, "We didn't hire him. He volunteered to help."
"He just came back from the military camp, and with the land being barren, there is no farm work for him to do. The yam fields in the mountains are already taken, but he still wanted to help us."
Su Lan added, "He is an orphan, and my father used to take care of him. Now, he's repaying the favor."
