Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
Jiang Youchen: ...
Zhao's mother, have you forgotten that I am just a seven-year-old child?
He quickly declined, saying, "It's really not appropriate to put so much money on a child like me..."
Mother Zhao realized, "That's right, the young master is only a seven-year-old child."
She abruptly changed the subject, saying, "But it doesn't matter. It's precisely because you're only seven years old that these gold and silver notes are safe with you!"
Who would have thought a child had so much money on him?
Jiang Youchen: ...
Aunt Zhao, what you said makes a lot of sense, and I'm speechless.
Madam Su then looked at her son with amusement, "Chen'er, then you can keep it."
Jiang Youchen trembled.
Mother, this mountain of gold is too heavy for me to bear.
"No, no, no, you should keep it, Aunt Zhao, so that I and... won't spend it recklessly again." He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't mention his sister.
Zhao's mother almost knelt down, "Please, young master, you and young lady can just take the flowers and enjoy them."
As long as we can make it back many times over.
Jiang Youchen: ...
Xiao Youran burst into laughter.
Madam Su affectionately tapped her daughter's nose, "Mother knows this is all thanks to Ranran, right?"
Jiang Youchen quickly nodded, "Yes, Mother, all this money was given to me by my younger sister, so all the money I earn should belong to her."
Madam Su smiled and said, "Then you can keep these for your sister for now. When she gets married, these will all be part of her dowry."
Xiao Youran's eyes widened: ...
I'm just a four-year-old child, I don't understand any of this dowry stuff.
Jiang Youchen made a tough decision and pushed the gold and silver notes in front of his younger sister, saying, "Why don't you keep them, sister?"
Little Youran blinked her big eyes, looking at her brother with a completely bewildered expression.
Madam Su reached out and gently patted her son's head. "What are you doing, you little rascal? Your sister is only four years old. How can you let her keep so many gold and silver notes?"
Jiang Youchen was about to cry. "Mother, have you forgotten that I'm only seven years old?"
In the end, Zhao Mama was still worried, so she put away all the gold notes and then handed Jiang Youchen a thousand taels of silver notes, saying, "Young Master, please keep this thousand taels safe. If Miss sees anything she wants to buy, don't be stingy."
Jiang Youchen: !!!
Zhao Mama, you've been corrupted by your mother, boohoo.
Little Youran chuckled happily, "Brother, we have money to spend now!"
Madam Su hugged her daughter tightly, kissed her forehead, and said, "Little Ranran is my lucky baby."
Jiang Youchen: ...
Mother, I suspect you know something inside.
So that's why he let his sister spend money everywhere?
It took everyone a while to calm down. Just then, they heard Su Yue knock on the door and announce, "A young lady has brought a food box. She said it's for the young lady and the madam to make wontons."
Xiao Youran's eyes lit up, "Mommy, the delicious wontons are here!"
Madam Su released her daughter, saying, "Mother just finished a bowl of porridge, I'm afraid she can't eat anymore."
Xiao Youran had already opened the door, and Sister-in-law Shen didn't dare to enter the house rashly. She handed the food box to Suyue and then bowed deeply to Xiao Youran from outside the door. "Miss, we are deeply grateful for your kindness. We have already moved the things to the restaurant. If you and the young master have time in a couple of days, you can come and visit."
Xiao Youran smiled cutely, "Okay, Sister-in-law Shen, your business will definitely be great, don't worry."
Sister-in-law Shen bowed again and left with tears in her eyes.
Su Yue brought in the food box and carefully took out two bowls of wontons and placed them on the table.
Mrs. Su lovingly stroked her daughter's head and said, "Little Ranran, eat quickly."
"Mother, you should eat too." Xiao Youran pushed another bowl toward her mother.
One bowl per person, that's all.
Jiang Youchen couldn't help but swallow as he smelled the fresh aroma of the pork bones and scallions.
Have you forgotten that I've been hungry for a long time too?
He really is an adopted son, isn't he?
Forget it, I have money now, so why should I worry about not having food?
He turned to leave dejectedly, but Xiao Youran quickly called out to him, "Brother, come and eat too."
Jiang Youchen turned around, tears welling up in his eyes. His sister had finally remembered him!
Thankfully, he's my biological brother.
Madam Su then picked up a small bowl from the side, filled it with a few small wontons, and pushed it to the empty seat next to her, saying, "Chen'er, come and eat too."
Jiang Youchen sat down, looked at the three small wontons in the bowl, and remained silent: ...
Little Youran quickly switched bowls with her brother, saying, "Mother, I can't eat this much."
Madam Su pushed her bowl towards Xiao Youran, saying, "Three bowls aren't enough! Xiao Ranran, eat as much as you want, and this bowl of yours is for you too."
Jiang Youchen: ...
So, he was still an adopted son after all!
Never mind, let's eat.
Xiao Youran scooped up a small wonton and held it to Su's lips, saying, "Mother, try it. This tastes really good."
Mrs. Su took a bite with her daughter's spoon and praised, "It's really delicious."
Xiao Youran nodded, "Yes, yes, the wontons that Sister-in-law Shen makes are delicious."
Madam Su pinched her daughter's little nose again and said affectionately, "Mother thinks that the food that Ranran feeds Mother is the most delicious."
Xiao You Ran beamed, "Mother is the best mother in the world."
Mrs. Su smiled happily, "Xiao Ranran is the best daughter in the world."
Jiang Youchen couldn't bear to watch: ...
Are there really any mothers and daughters in the world who are so shameless as to flatter each other?
Zhao's mother and Su Yue covered their mouths and chuckled, their eyes filled with sympathy as they looked at Young Master Jiang.
Jiang Youchen glanced at them casually and saw their eyes. After swallowing a mouthful of wontons, she asked very sincerely, "Mother, I have a question."
Mrs. Su turned her head. "Oh, son, what are you still doing here?"
Jiang Youchen retorted angrily, "Mother, am I your own son?"
Su's brows immediately furrowed, and she raised her hand to slap him on the back of the head. "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? If you're not my biological son, are you some kind of adopted child?"
Jiang Youchen said, feeling wronged, "Wasn't it found?"
"If you found it, would your mother let Zhao Mama put so much money on you? Aren't you afraid you'd run away with it?" Su glared at him.
Jiang Youchen: ...
Mother, you have a great idea.
Perhaps one day I can give it a try.
Little Youran ate her fill, then pushed the bowl towards the table and said in her childish voice, "Mommy, I'm full, I really can't eat anymore."
Mrs. Su smiled and praised, "Little Youran is really amazing, she ate so much!"
Then she placed the bowl in front of Jiang Youchen again, saying, "Your sister can't eat anymore, you should eat more."
Jiang Youchen: ...
I have a lot of money with me, so why should I stay here and eat the leftover wontons that others have eaten?
He angrily took the bowl of wontons that his sister had left uneaten and shoveled it into his mouth.
