Chapter 157 The Su Family is in a Hurry
"What?"
Qin Jin'an blinked and asked.
"Do you have a master for your method of training monkeys? If it's convenient, could you tell me who your master is?"
The Zhan family has been training monkeys for over a thousand years, a skill passed down through countless people, but no one has ever achieved such harmony with a monkey.
Once upon a time, the Zhan clan produced a monkey king who actually considered himself a monkey. He left the Zhan clan's territory and disappeared without a trace.
His talent is the strongest ever recorded in the clan.
He wanted to know if Qin Jin'an was a descendant of the Zhan family's esteemed master!
If she is, then the Zhan family and she are inseparable, and the Zhan family must recognize her as their great-aunt!
In other words, if she wants to become the clan leader, he has to obediently step down!
"Uncle, I can tell fortunes."
Qin Jin'an looked at Zhan Qi, who was deep in thought, and realized he was overthinking things. She sighed helplessly.
Actually, she is a koi fish, she is a fish, she is an animal.
She's an animal, so it's not surprising that she can understand animal speech.
But people always tend to overcomplicate things.
Zhan Qi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed. He hadn't expected such an answer.
He composed himself and said seriously, "I will come again in five days!"
Qin Jin'an yawned: "Okay, goodbye, Uncle."
She was so sleepy.
Zhan Qi turned and left, and Qin Jin'an immediately closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Lost in her dream, she nimbly climbed onto Qi Yuanyou's stomach, pinching and patting it gently.
"Yuanyuan, I have something to tell you..."
Qin Jin'an and Qi Yuanyou were talking about what happened that night, and she told Qi Yuanyou without hesitation that she could understand animal speech.
Qi Yuanyou listened and then laughed, asking, "Yu Bao, you're really amazing."
"Aren't they pitiful? Humans eat them..."
Looking back on all the animals he had eaten in the past, Qi Yuanyou felt a little guilty.
He never imagined that animals could have thoughts.
"No, not all animals can talk. Most of the animals that are eaten by humans are not intelligent."
Qin Jin'an thought back for a moment, and for example, the chickens, ducks and pigs he raised at home did not have any intelligence.
There's no way to communicate with her; all she does is eat, sleep, and wait to become a dish someday.
"That's good."
Qi Yuanyou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuanyuan, have you been practicing martial arts lately? I feel like your flesh isn't soft anymore..."
Qin Jin'an sighed. When he first met him, he was chubby and soft, but now he had lost a lot of weight and his flesh was no longer soft.
"Yes, Grandma found a teacher to teach me, and I've started training. I've lost some fat, but I'll be very strong in the future. You can jump on me and have fun."
Qi Yuanyou answered shyly. He liked this kind of contact, but his fleshy body couldn't stay with him forever. He racked his brains and finally came up with a way to let Qin Jin'an jump on him!
"Well... okay then, I'll give it a try..."
Qin Jin'an was about to refuse, but he stopped himself before he could say it; he couldn't postpone his friend's invitation.
She doesn't like too much exercise, so she'll just do a few light jumps.
“Yu Bao, war is about to break out in the Southern Frontier. How far away are you? If you are, it’s best to move away for your safety. If you are in the capital, then I can protect you and your family…”
Qi Yuanyou recalled the spot where he had seen the star fall during the night and began to worry.
"It's okay, it's okay, my family and I will be safe and sound. I'm sleepy..."
Qin Jin'an yawned. His mother and grandfather had both said that one should always be wary of others.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Qi Yuanyou, but people's hearts are fickle, and she didn't yet have the ability to completely protect herself. So before that, she wouldn't let Qi Yuanyou know where she was. It would be so nice to be friends in her dreams.
Qi Yuanyou was intelligent and understood Qin Jin'an's meaning. He sighed softly.
Yu Bao didn't fully believe in him; he still needed to keep trying.
——
As dawn broke, Qin Jin'an stretched and sat up.
She is weak when there are other people around.
When no one is around, she will come down and play for a while.
Her courtyard was undisturbed, but the other courtyards of the Su family mansion were far from peaceful.
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui had fallen out of love, and the two brothers ignored each other.
Liu and Lian have also been unable to leave their homes recently.
Su Yu'e was the most anxious, and she subtly inquired about the two men's shop profits.
Today, Su Yu'e confronted Lian Shi: "Third sister-in-law, why are you and second sister-in-law at home all the time? This kind of business can't be done!"
Lian wanted to roll her eyes, but she patiently said to Su Yu'e, "Little sister, your third brother hasn't been feeling well lately, so I have to stay by his side to take care of him!"
"What about Second Sister-in-law? Why doesn't she go out?"
Su Yu'e sensed something was wrong and pressed for more information.
Lian was getting annoyed: "We who invested money aren't worried, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Su Yu'e frowned: "I... I'm doing this for your own good. If I don't do well this time, Mother will definitely not agree in the future!"
Although she didn't invest any money, she still got a share. In just this short period, she received thirty taels of silver. Who would complain about free money?
If anyone wanted their business to grow bigger and stronger, it would be Su Yu'e.
Lian Shi knew exactly what Su Yu'e was thinking. She sighed and said, "Little sister, to be honest, with Changshui and Second Brother having such a falling out, I don't even know if this business deal can be done. Second Sister-in-law hasn't been talking to me these past few days either. Let's wait and see."
After Lian finished speaking, she left without paying any attention to Su Yu'e.
The Su family didn't have a clear division of responsibilities. Su Changshui and Su Changsheng were not on good terms, and Liu Shi was unwilling to go out for pleasure with her.
Moreover, at this critical juncture, it's easy for her to get into trouble if she goes alone.
She's not stupid.
Su Yu'e stomped her foot, then gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
Su Yu'e went to find Su Changsheng.
Su Changsheng has been looking gloomy these past few days, and he doesn't give anyone a friendly look.
"Second brother, you and third brother have been like this for so many days. You're brothers after all. There's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight. If you keep acting like this, it breaks my heart to see you like this..."
Su Yu'e choked up.
Her family was her support, and her three older brothers were her source of strength. Now that things have turned sour, she is really worried that the family will actually split up.
After the family splits up, the second and third brothers will definitely fight for the lion's share, and the parents won't get much. So how much dowry can she get when she gets married?
"Second brother, third brother was wronged and upset this time, please don't hold a grudge against him! I went to see third brother and saw him secretly crying..."
Su Yu'e wiped away her tears as she spoke.
Su Changsheng sighed: "I didn't handle this matter well, so it's normal for your third brother to blame me. So many days have passed, his anger should have subsided by now. I'll go see him."
Su Changsheng stood up. This family couldn't be divided. He had calmed down enough these past few days, and it was time for him to see Su Changshui. Su Yu'e's visit as a mediator was also a way for him to save face.
"Second brother, I'll go with you."
Su Yu'e immediately got up and followed her.
