Chapter 116: There is hope for the future



Su Ning'an and Su Ningjie looked at each other and patted Su Ningwen's shoulder together.

Su Ning'an said, "Third brother, we are all happy that you can speak loudly, but you are already a big child of four years old, you can't cry, you can't be a crybaby."

Su Ningjie continued, "Yes, mother doesn't like little crybabies."

When Su Ningwen saw Xiao Xier walking out of the room, he quickly stopped crying and turned around.

It’s okay to act like a spoiled child and cry in front of your mother and two brothers, but you can’t cry in front of your sister, otherwise you will lose face as a brother in front of her.

"Mother." Xiao Xier raised her eyebrows and glanced at Su Ningwen, who had his back to her. "Which brother was crying just now?"

Xiao Lingyu touched Su Ningwen's little head and straightened up, "It's your third brother who can speak loudly now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xier quickly walked up to Su Ningwen and said, "Third brother, quickly call my sister."

Su Ningwen touched Xiao Xier's head, smiled and said loudly: "Sister, I am the third brother."

"Third brother, you haven't called me big brother yet."

Su Ningjie quickly said, "Third brother, call me second brother first."

"Stop arguing, Third Brother, come into the room and call me 'Dad'."

Su Ningwen ran into the room with his short legs, and soon the voice of Su Ningwen shouting "Dad" could be heard from the room, followed by the voices of him shouting "Big Brother" and "Second Brother".

Every sound was filled with excitement and joy; even Xiao Lingyu's steps towards the kitchen were joyful.

The withered herb is no longer in Xiao Xier's body, the third child can speak again, and the children's father is gradually recovering. There seems to be hope for the days ahead.

On the other side, Lu Yuan entered Lu Shiyuan's room carrying a food box. "Grandfather, who am I?"

Lu Shiyuan shook his head helplessly, "Ayuan, Grandfather's memory is just a little confused. How could I forget my eldest granddaughter? I'm not that confused because of my illness."

Lu Yuan felt relieved after hearing this. Lu Shiyuan was still a little confused when he just woke up, but now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.

"Grandfather, I saw last night that you particularly liked the tomato fish fillet, so I made another one this morning. It may not taste as good as Chef Mo's."

Lu Yuan handed the tomato fish forward and pretended to feed it to him, "Grandfather, try it."

"Let Grandfather do it himself."

When Lu Shiyuan took the soup spoon, his hand trembled noticeably. He quickly grabbed the hand holding the spoon with his other hand and stuffed the tomato fish in the spoon into his mouth.

Now Ayuan is the only one supporting the eldest wife, and she also has to take care of Yaoer. Fortunately, Chu Yu is a good child.

If he really falls seriously ill, can she support the entire Lu family?

He knew his body was weak and he would not live for many more years even if he took good care of himself. He had to help her remove the obstacles before he died.

Who would take over the Lu Family in the future? That was Yuan'er's own business. He only knew that after he left, the Lu Family would be handed over to her.

"My A Yuan's cooking skills are still the best."

"Grandfather." Lu Yuan wiped Lu Shiyuan's mouth and said, "Ayu sent a message back saying that he met a Mrs. Su in Xishui County. She provided the tomatoes, peppers, and century-old ginseng. She also knows a little about medicine and has a way to treat Sister Yao'er's symptoms."

Lu Shiyuan's eyes lit up instantly. "It seems that our Lu family and Madam Su have a great connection. Did Yu'er say that Madam Su's prescription can completely cure Yao'er?"

If he could see Yao'er become normal and get married and have a good home before he died, he would have no regrets.

"Ayu said that Madam Su's prescription is quite potent, and Sister Yao'er's body might not be able to withstand it. If she can, she'll get better..."

"Yuan'er, Grandfather knows." Lu Shiyuan thought about the life Lu Yao had lived these years and felt a pang of heartache. Her current state was very painful for her. "Didn't Du Qingfeng say that the method would be effective in three months?"

Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, we should be able to see the effects in a month and a half."

"Then we'll consider this matter again in a month."

Lu Yuan had been thinking about returning to Huayang County for some time. If her sister Yao'er couldn't see her, she'd get anxious and have nightmares. "Grandfather, would you please come with me to Xishui County and live there for a while?"

Lu Shiyuan thought that if he couldn't wake up this time, he would not be able to see either of his sisters.

The second, third and fourth wives are living relatively happy lives, but the first wife's family, well, it's hard to describe.

"Okay, I'll go with you to Xishui County and live there for a while."

After Lu Yuan said a few words to Wei Yun and the head maid Jinshu, he returned to his study.

Soon, various accountants and shopkeepers came into Lu Yuan's study.

Seeing that the income and expenditure of restaurants, money houses, pawnshops, cloth shops, silver shops, breweries, iron mines, merchant ship ferries, bookstores and other businesses were balanced and there was not much fluctuation in the cash flow, Lu Yuan looked much more relaxed.

"Okay, you all go back, Chang Xu stay."

Chang Xu saw that the other shopkeepers had left before he said, "I arranged for someone to spread the news last night. When I arrived at the mansion, someone had already come to reserve the divine dish."

"Did your uncle tell me how much a table of divine dishes would cost?"

"According to my son-in-law's request, a table of spicy fairy dishes costs 800 taels, with 50 tables served daily. Twenty tables of tomato fairy dishes are served every three days, with each table costing 1,000 taels. I wonder if the owner wants to adjust the price?"

“Why is the tomato angelica dish only available every three days?”

Chang Xu said, "Mrs. Su can provide us with 120 kilograms of tomatoes at a time, which will be distributed to various counties. This time, Chef Mo and I took back 40 kilograms. We use tomatoes to make tomato sauce, crispy tomatoes, tomato beef brisket, tomato fish, tomato eggs, tomato meatball soup, tomato and eggplant stew, and other tomato dishes. They are delicious and go well with rice, but they are consumed quickly."

Lu Yuan thought that the people who came to Luyuan Qionglou in Huayang County were all people of her grandfather's level. They were not only picky eaters but also wanted to stay healthy. Tomato dishes were very suitable for them.
