Chapter 113 The Instigator



Although Su Qingluan spoke in a relaxed tone, she was not joking.

In order to train the stability of her wrist, Su Qingluan was asked by her master to cut Wensi tofu on a balloon filled with water, and to start over if the balloon was broken.

Su Qingluan simply didn't want to recall the weird experience of that year. It was a psychologically draining and tearful history. Just thinking about it would give her a headache, hands, and mental breakdown.

In fact, Su Qingluan's mentality was not completely stable in her previous life, but since she fell ill, she increasingly found that "just being alive" was a rare thing, so her mentality became more and more peaceful until now.

For her now, being able to live a good life and improve the environment and conditions at home as much as possible makes Su Qingluan feel very happy every day and her mentality is more stable.

So although my wrist strength in this life may be slightly inferior to that in the previous life, my mentality is indeed more stable than ever before.

Su Qingluan thought she hadn't said anything too profound, but Xu Yuanwei actually bowed again. "I was resentful, but Madam Su taught me the key to this. Repaying grievances with kindness is truly a broad-minded thing. I can hardly match her!"

Su Qingluan: ...ah, what happened? It's really not that serious.

She quickly jumped aside to avoid Xu Yuanwei's greeting and frantically explained, "Master Xu, didn't you apologize before? And you didn't actually do anything wrong."

As the saying goes, "A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart, and no one is perfect by heart."

Su Qingluan is not so morally obsessed that she cannot accept other people's dissatisfaction with her - she is not Mr. Kong Fang, let alone people who regard money as dirt?

As long as it's not put into action, she doesn't care what others think - especially since the other party has already apologized sincerely.

Shopkeeper Liang noticed something else: "Usually, if Brother Xu was dissatisfied with something, he would come to me and tell me directly. Why would he choose to pretend to be sick at home this time?"

Xu Yuanwei turned his gaze to the side and whispered, "In the final analysis, it's all because of my unstable mentality that things turned out like this..." Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "How was the kitchen today? Can those brats handle it?"

Shopkeeper Liang quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm closing the business today."

Xu Yuanwei looked apologetic again, but Shopkeeper Liang smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Just treat it as a day off for everyone. I'll have some free time today. But my dear brother must have listened to the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, so he stayed home in anger, right?"

After hearing the second half of Manager Liang's sentence, Su Qingluan suddenly realized: So that's how it is, it makes sense now.

When Xu Yuanwei heard the word "provoke", he subconsciously thought: "Maybe it was just an unintentional remark..."

"So someone did say something in front of you?" Shopkeeper Liang nodded.

Su Qingluan wondered whether Master Xu was simple-minded or very gullible.

No, there's no need to even deliberately "lie". This person is so straightforward that he can just tell the whole truth at once.

Xu Yuanwei had a look of surprise on his face, as if to say, "Manager Liang, how could you possibly trick me?" Manager Liang, stroking his mustache, narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it Qian Liu?"

Su Qingluan immediately looked up at Xu Yuanwei - as expected, he didn't even need to say anything, the expression clearly written on his face made it clear that the instigator was Qian Liu.

But, I guessed it right away...

"Uncle Liang is so resourceful!" Su Qingluan couldn't help but sigh: She also wanted to have such a resourceful character! However, it was too difficult, so she was still better at cooking.

Shopkeeper Liang shook his head. "Only Qian Liucai has been transferred from waiter to kitchen staff. He hasn't mastered the basic skills yet, yet he's always trying to curry favor with Brother Xu."

Even if the other people changed the head chef, at most they would still be helpers; but Qian Liu was different. He was very attentive to Xu Yuanwei, just to get him to prepare special dishes for him - after all, he had no cooking skills.

After hearing what Manager Liang said, Su Qingluan roughly understood that if she really replaced Xu Yuanwei, then all the other party's "preliminary work" of running around and trying to please him would be in vain. That's why she instigated Xu Yuanwei, who was already jealous of Su Qingluan, to squeeze Su Qingluan out.

Theoretically, this method is possible, but Qian Liu probably never thought that Xu Yuanwei was too straightforward and honest. He directly expressed his dissatisfaction, and the way he expressed his dissatisfaction was also very direct - he pretended to be sick at home out of anger.

There cannot be any more high-level children in the kindergarten senior classes.

After hearing this, Xu Yuanwei felt even more ashamed: "I shouldn't have been provoked so easily." He was about to bow and even kneel down.

But this time, Manager Liang stood in front of him and finally pulled him up, preventing Xu Yuanwei from bowing again.

Shopkeeper Liang sighed, "Qian Liu is smart, and I see he's ambitious, so it's fine to have him learn the ropes in the kitchen. But he's not doing his job properly, and he's always thinking about crooked ways. I have to give him a lesson. If he continues like this, he'll be fired."

Su Qingluan saw that the matter was resolved and Xu Yuanwei was not really bedridden. She looked at the sky again and turned to look at Manager Liang and Xu Yuanwei: "Since Master Xu is in good health, I still have some things to do, so I won't stay for long."

She hasn't forgotten that her original purpose of coming out was to buy an iron pot!

Xu Yuanwei was feeling bad and didn't know what to give Su Qingluan as an apology gift. After hearing Su Qingluan's words, he immediately said, "Excuse me, Miss Su, what are you planning to buy? I still have some money at home. If you need anything, just let me know."

Su Qingluan waved her hand quickly: "No need to bother."

"How can you say it's a nuisance?" Xu Yuanwei's face showed disapproval. "Ms. Su was magnanimous and didn't make a fuss about it, but I can't help but express my apologies."

Su Qingluan smiled and shook her head: "I have to buy things like this myself." The size of this iron pot must be suitable, and if the kitchen is renovated in a few days, the pot must also adapt to the new stove and cannot be too big or too small.

So she had to go to the blacksmith shop and finalize all the dimensions of the iron pot this time.

After leaving the Xu family house, Su Qingluan immediately rushed to the blacksmith shop.

After hearing all of Su Qingluan's requirements for the pot, the blacksmith frowned and smacked his lips. "If it's just an iron pot, plus the knives you requested earlier, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." The blacksmith looked Su Qingluan up and down with great suspicion. "You want to buy everything?"

Su Qingluan nodded: "I'll buy them all." Including the pot and the knives, since she was going to buy them, she might as well buy them all.

She had a nice idea, but the next moment the blacksmith's quote almost made her kneel down.
