Chapter 041: Traitor Su Yun
After watching the eldest and second brothers leave, the four remaining siblings returned to the yard. Su Yun went to feed the chickens, while Su Chen helped Jiang Yu go to the toilet.
Today was the first time he stepped out of the room during the day since he came to the Su family. In the past, if he needed anything, Su Jing or Su Mu would take him there at night.
The ancients would place a night-scented pot in the room, which was used for urination.
Now, I open my eyes from time to time, and I no longer feel that strong dry and sore eyes, nor do I feel like crying.
Su Wan was fiddling with the soap she had made. She turned around and saw Jiang Yu, who was wearing patched clothes and was being supported by Su Chen to go out.
He has a really good figure, with perfect proportions. Wearing a short shirt and long pants, his legs look even longer!
He is worthy of being the second male lead. The book says that he is even more handsome than the male lead.
Although I haven't met the male protagonist yet, what the book says can't be wrong.
Jiang Yu covered his chest with one hand. He had internal injuries due to the sequelae of the Seven-Star Begonia and his chest was congested and short of breath. He felt pain when he coughed, as if he felt someone was watching him. Even with his eyes blindfolded, he could still accurately locate Su Wan's direction.
Su Wan was discovered by him and quickly lowered her head to continue working. The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth rose slightly, almost imperceptibly.
I don’t know why, even though he couldn’t see anything, Su Wan still felt like he was caught and felt very guilty.
Su Yun looked at Su Wan, whose ears were red, and then looked at Jiang Yu's back. He snorted with disdain, causing Su Wan and Su Yi to look at him.
"What's wrong with you, Fourth Brother?" Su Wan didn't understand what his sudden cold snort meant.
"Su Wan, let me ask you, who is better looking, me or him?"
He pointed in the direction of the toilet. Su Wan and Su Yi looked at each other and looked in the direction he pointed.
"Are you talking about the third brother or..."
"Of course I was talking about the other one!"
Su Yun didn't take the rough guy seriously. He thought he was better looking than him.
Hearing this, Su Yi laughed unkindly. The meaning was very clear, that is, ridicule.
"What's your business? I'm asking Su Wan, what are you laughing at?"
"Fourth brother, it is important for a person to know himself, but you don't!" Su Yi shrugged and retorted, his smile getting wider.
Su Wan couldn't help it either. It was so hard to hold back her laughter. Although the fourth brother was not bad looking and a handsome guy, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old and still a childish boy. He would become more handsome after a few years of polishing. But compared with Jiang Yu, the most handsome man in the original novel, emmm...
It’s hard to comment, but I don’t want to hurt Fourth Brother’s feelings. What should I say?
Su Yun's face turned cold after hearing what Su Yi said. The two of them had faces that were 90% alike, just like looking in the mirror, but people who were familiar with them could easily tell them apart.
"Su Wan, you speak!" Su Yun didn't want to be disturbed by Su Yi, he just wanted to hear what Su Wan said.
Su Wan was a little embarrassed, frowning, and after a long while he slowly spoke:
"Well... how should I put it? Fourth brother, you and I are not at the same stage, so it's hard for me to judge. After all, you are only fifteen years old this year. You can still continue to grow and will definitely become more and more beautiful. But I am already an adult and have grown up, understand?"
Su Yun stared at her seriously, and Su Wan's voice gradually became smaller. She thought he was going to be angry, but after a while he laughed.
"You mean I'm not as good-looking as him? I know, I was just teasing you on purpose, to see what you said. But you're right, I'm still young, I'm sure I'll get better looking as I grow older!"
I didn't expect Su Yun to be so arrogant, shameless, and narcissistic.
She thought he was just a bad-tempered, sister-loving maniac.
While the brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing, Su Chen had already helped Jiang Yu out. He found a chair with an armchair and let him sit in the yard to bask in the sun.
In the sunlight, Jiang Yu's skin was glowing white, almost catching up with a woman's. Su Wan looked at his slender, white and bony hands and swallowed her saliva. For a hand control enthusiast, these hands were too attractive.
Su Yun rolled his eyes and muttered, "Pretty boy."
That's right, the reason why he and Su Yi are easy to distinguish is that he is darker than Su Yi, so when he saw Jiang Yu was so white, he called him a pretty boy.
"Jiang Yu will have to stay with us for a while until he recovers. During this time, just tell others that he is our cousin, so as to avoid gossip among the villagers!"
Su Jing had explained that he was worried that the sudden presence of several strange men at home, who were unmarried girls, would ruin the girl's reputation, so he told others that they were relatives and would call each other cousins from then on.
He is indeed the eldest of the three brothers, and Su Chen is only seventeen years old this year.
"I understand, Third Brother." Su Yi answered with a smile, very obedient.
In comparison, Su Yun is like a traitor.
He has been studying something with a bag of soybeans recently. After finishing the farm work and making soap at home, he started to tinker with the soy sauce that Su Wan mentioned in his spare time.
Su Wan remembered that soy sauce should be made from fermented soybeans, but she didn't know how to ferment the soybeans. She just briefly told Su Yun her ideas, and then he started to act.
What he understood as the fermented soybeans that Su Wan mentioned was fermented soybeans. He figured out how to make it himself and even bought some yeast from a wine-making family in the next village. After soaking it overnight, he steamed it in a steamer and then sealed it and fermented it in the sun.
He has his own ideas, and Su Wan doesn't stop him from having creative ideas.
Su Chen then said that it was time to harvest the corn in the field. There was almost an acre of corn, and Su Chen had to take his two younger brothers to harvest it, leaving only Su Wan and Jiang Yu at home.
The task of cooking and taking care of the patients fell on her.
The morning sun was not too scorching. Seeing that it was still early, Su Chen took his axe and went up the mountain. He must be going to practice martial arts with his master again.
Su Wan specifically told him that if he saw beautiful wild flowers in the mountains, he should pick some and bring them back so that she could dry them and use them for coloring.
Su Chen agreed with a smile, and went out happily with the licorice water that Su Wan had made for him.
Su Wan knew that he was training hard and had to find time to chop some firewood. Although it was already October, it would take some time for the weather to get hot, so he boiled some licorice water and put it in a bamboo kettle for him to take away.
The only ones left were Su Wan, Su Yun and Su Yi. Su Yun was steaming his soybeans, Su Yi was drawing something on the ground with a stick, and Jiang Yu was sitting upright in a chair, just basking in the sun quietly.
From Su Wan's perspective, the sunlight shining on him seemed to have coated him with a layer of golden light.
Jiang Yu noticed that she was looking at him again, and turned around with a faint smile on his face.
"What are you doing?"
He suddenly asked Su Wan, causing her to tremble with guilt.
