Chapter 289: Jealousy
"Okay, Wanwan didn't really go out to play. She was busy with business. As her brothers, it's okay if you don't understand, but you are still sulking here. Aren't you ashamed?" Mother Su first defended her daughter and held her hand tightly.
"Ahem, Mom, it's Fourth Brother who's angry!" Su Yi felt that he was already pretty good. No matter how petty he was, he was not as petty as Fourth Brother.
"I'll go talk to the fourth brother later. He's even competing with his own sister. Wanwan, you've come a long way home, you must be tired, right? Go and rest first. What do you want to eat tonight? Ask your fourth brother to make it for you."
Father Su also spoke, and the tone he used when speaking to his daughter was very doting.
"I want to eat braised pork and spicy chicken. There's no spicy food outside, and I miss the taste of home."
What Su Wan said was true. She had been outside for so long, and all she had to eat was bland food. She missed the chili peppers and soy sauce at home every day.
"Okay, I'll ask your fourth brother to make it for you later. He's already planning to open a restaurant and has even used all the acres of land at home to grow chili peppers. You can have as much as you want in the future."
Su's mother and father surrounded her as she entered the house, while Su Yi followed behind them obediently without interrupting.
Last year, two crops of peppers were planted and several large jars of pepper powder were ground out. Su Yun kept all of it to use for cooking when the restaurant opened.
Back in the main hall, Su's mother asked someone to make a cup of honey water and bring it to Su Wan.
Su Wan took a sip and was pleasantly surprised.
“Is this honey water?”
"Yes, the bees you raised back home have all produced honey. Your father went back and Jiang Sheng and Jiao Xing brought you a lot. I don't know what you want to do with them, but I'm keeping them for you."
Su Wan had been away from home for more than half a year, and she hadn't seen many things with her own eyes.
Wait until she has rested well, then we can talk about this slowly.
The most urgent thing is to appease the firecracker of the fourth brother. This guy ignores people when he says he will ignore them.
Su Wan took Su Yi's arm and asked him to accompany her to find her fourth brother. However, she didn't find him in his room, but in the kitchen instead.
He was making a fire inside, cooking, chopping vegetables and preparing food.
"Fourth brother, why are you in the kitchen? I had a hard time looking for you."
Seeing that he had a gloomy face, Su Wan took the initiative to approach him.
As a result, Su Yun ignored her and ignored her, being so arrogant.
Then Su Wan kept bothering him, hanging around him and making endless noises.
"Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a while. How come you've grown so much taller? You've also become more handsome. With someone like you, there must be a lot of girls who like you."
"Fourth brother, your cooking skills are really good now. The meat is cut into neat squares. I can't even cut meat this well."
Su Wan kept complaining about her being the fourth brother for a long time, but Su Yun just ignored her. He hummed from time to time and looked disgusted, as if he thought she was in the way, but he didn't drive her away.
Su Yi felt a little jealous. If he were as pretentious as his fourth brother, would Wan Wan also be like this now, circling around him and coaxing him in every way?
However, he is not a pretentious person like Fourth Brother, and he can't act like him.
Su Yun cooked the dishes that Su Wan liked. Among them were the braised pork and spicy chicken that she just mentioned.
She knew that her fourth brother was only angry on the surface, but he still doted on her in his heart.
"Fourth brother, how did you know I wanted to eat braised pork and spicy chicken? You're so nice."
"What do you mean you want to eat it? I want to eat it, not for you."
This time Su Yun finally spoke, but he was still being stubborn.
"Okay, okay, it's not made for me, but can I have some of it? I've been away for so long, and what I miss most is fourth brother's cooking. I think about it day and night." Su Wan looked at him pitifully. Su Yun felt quite pleased to see her say that. However, he was not so angry all of a sudden. It was so embarrassing.
"It's up to you. If I don't let you eat, won't my parents scold me to death?"
This is called saying one thing and doing another. He is obviously heartbroken, but he still pretends to be tough. Su Wan should just go along with him!
"Yes, yes, Fourth Brother is the best. He is smart and wise, handsome and unrestrained. Why would he bother with a little girl like me?
I was thinking about opening a restaurant with my fourth brother when I returned. Does the 50% profit he promised me still count?"
Su Wan praised Su Yun without blushing, and Su Yun felt so comfortable in his heart, with a smug look between his eyebrows.
"What I said, how can I not keep my word? Do you think I am you? I said I would come back before the New Year, but I didn't come back."
Su Yun felt annoyed when talking about this. He carefully prepared a New Year gift for her, but he couldn't give it to her until she came back.
He was being sarcastic and took the opportunity to step on her twice, making her feel ashamed.
So, Su Wan started using her usual trick again, pulling Su Yun's sleeve and shaking it:
"Oh, Fourth Brother, I'll explain it to you slowly later! I really did have my reasons, and it's understandable. I even brought you gifts when I came back this time. I'll bring them to you after dinner.
Fourth brother, you will definitely like the gift I brought you."
When Su Yun heard about the gift, his anger had mostly subsided, but as proud as he was, he still wanted to put on airs so that Su Wan would coax him more.
"You have a conscience."
"Hehe, then let me help you pick the vegetables, Fourth Brother." Su Wan saw that he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to hold it back, and he knew in his heart that Fourth Brother had been coaxed enough.
There happened to be a basket of vegetables nearby, so she started picking them by herself. Su Yi was watching the fire there, and when he saw this, he felt jealous again.
If I had known earlier, I would have been more pretentious for a while, maybe I would have gotten more attention from Wanwan.
"Fourth brother, when did you become so fussy? You are so unreasonable." Su Yi couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say something sarcastic to him.
When Su Yun heard him being sarcastic, he couldn't stand it anymore. He threw the kitchen knife onto the chopping board and retorted on the spot:
"If you don't agree, you can do this."
"A real man shouldn't be so petty and nagging!" Su Yi rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I'm just petty and fussy, why are you envious?"
"Tsk~ I wouldn't envy you even if I were to envy you."
The two brothers, one standing and the other sitting, neither of them giving in to the other. They were obviously both sixteen or seventeen years old, almost 1.8 meters tall, standing there, yet they were bickering like two kids.
However, Su Wan also knew that it was all because of him that his two brothers were jealous of each other.
How can we keep this bowl of water level?
Sometimes having too many brothers is also a sweet burden!
"Okay, okay, brothers, stop arguing. Let's live in peace and friendship." Su Wan came out to act as a peacemaker, holding two scallions in his hands, looking a little humorous.
