"I'm sorry! It won't happen again!"
Feeling the warm, soft touch on his fingers, Ji Yuan quickly and shyly pulled his hand back into his sleeve.
He was too nervous; he didn't want to mention Zhao Xin in front of Su Qinghe.
Ji Qingyu's expression wasn't very good either, but he was now certain that Su Qinghe wouldn't despise them because of this.
Su Qinghe sighed as she looked at their expressions.
"If you really don't want to mention her, then just pretend I didn't ask. Don't overthink it, just rest well! A-Yuan! Remember to apply the medicine to Yu-ge'er!"
"You can come find me anytime you want to talk!"
After saying this, Su Qinghe got up and left.
"Brother...do you want to tell her?" Ji Qingyu asked in a low voice, her head down.
"Hmm... let's wait a while!" Ji Yuan said somewhat absentmindedly.
The two continued their work in silence. Not long after, Lin Xi came up to remind them that the water was ready.
Ji Qingyu took another set of clothes and went out.
...
Several new waiters have indeed been added to the main hall, and there are even more diners today than yesterday. It seems that in just one day, Shili Xiang's reputation has already spread.
Despite hiring more people, Su Qinghe still went downstairs to do the work herself, while Ji Yuan stayed upstairs taking care of Ji Qingyu and did not come down.
Su Qinghe originally wanted Lin Xi to rest as well, but he couldn't stay idle in the room, so she let him come down and keep busy.
Night falls.
Most of the diners downstairs had already left, leaving only a few scattered tables.
Su Qinghe handed over all the arrangements to Wang Lin, while she had the kitchen cook a few dishes and bring them upstairs.
Is his stomach still hurting?
At the dinner table, Lin Xi and Ji Yuan were already seated, but Ji Qingyu still hadn't come out.
"Yes! He's been like this since he was little. He's in so much pain for the first day or two that he can't get out of bed, but then he gets better in the next few days!"
Ji Yuan nodded worriedly, his face full of helplessness.
"Then let's cook him a bowl of porridge later, just like at noon! It should make him feel better!"
Lin Xi was also very worried.
He knew that some men were just like that, and he had heard of people who could faint from the pain, but he had never seen it happen.
Hearing Ji Yuan describe the situation as so serious, Su Qinghe frowned.
"Is it that serious? Has it not been treated with medication?"
Logically speaking, since they dote on Ji Qingyu so much, they would definitely hire a doctor for him.
But it's been six or seven years since the boy's first period, and he's been taking medication for so many years, so why is it still so serious?
Ji Yuan put down his chopsticks and said with a wry smile:
"This is already the result after treatment. I remember when he first came here, he would faint from the pain every time!"
“My parents had been taking him to doctors and he had tried several different medications. They would take one for a year and then switch to another if there was no improvement, but none of them worked! Eventually, he stopped taking them.”
"He can only rely on himself to get through this!" Ji Yuan said, his eyes filled with heartache.
Su Qinghe pondered for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Take him to the clinic for another check-up in a few days. People in Tianhe County are generally straightforward, and the men here are more open-minded than in other places."
"For common male issues such as fertility and menstruation, they are happy to go to the clinic."
"So I think the doctors in Tianhe County are quite skilled at treating all kinds of men's health issues! Maybe Yu-ge'er will be much better."
“That’s right!” Lin Xi nodded in agreement.
He was also from Tianhe County, and the men there were indeed as the wife described.
"That's wonderful! I hope this medicine will work!"
Ji Yuan was delighted, but then felt a pang of guilt. He looked at Su Qinghe with an apologetic expression.
"This time, Brother Yu will have to make his wife spend money again!"
He had already spent a lot of money treating Ji Qingyu's injuries, and now he had to go to the clinic again so soon. He felt really embarrassed.
Su Qinghe felt a little helpless seeing his expression. These two men were good, but they were a bit too considerate! They were afraid of spending too much of her money!
She sighed softly and placed a piece of tofu in Ji Yuan's bowl.
"We're all family, there's no need to worry about spending money! Besides, the restaurant is doing so well right now, your wife isn't short of that little bit of money!"
"Don't try to save money on me! Spend what you need to spend, buy what you want! Otherwise, what's the point of me earning so much money?"
Su Qinghe criticized the two of them.
She couldn't say anything about how frugal they were before the restaurant opened, but now that business is booming, she has to change their stingy ways.
"Yes, my lady!" Neither man dared to object.
"My lady! Has the restaurant made a lot of money these past two days?" Lin Xi asked in confusion.
All he knew was that the restaurant had been packed for the past two days, and he himself was extremely busy, but he had no idea how much money such business could generate.
In his memory, a dish in an ordinary restaurant would cost no more than one or two taels of silver, and earning 50 taels a day would be considered a lot.
Their own restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, requiring no cooking, and the price of a single dish is only half that of what you'd find elsewhere.
With so many diners, he didn't know how much more he could earn than other restaurants.
"Do you have 100 taels?" Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
Yu-ge'er spent nearly 50 taels on medicine last time, and he doesn't know how much he'll have to spend this time. If he spends most of his earnings on medicine, he'll feel even more guilty.
Seeing how little the two knew about their business, Su Qinghe finally understood why they were so frugal.
It turns out they thought they could only earn this much money a day!
She shook her head helplessly.
“Listen up! Your mistress can now have this many fingers!” she said, holding up three fingers.
Three hundred taels!
The two gasped in surprise, staring intently at her three fingers.
"They've already made so much money in just two days?" Lin Xi covered her mouth to avoid making too much noise.
He's going to become a rich young man in Tianhe County!
"This is really an exaggeration!" Ji Yuan also looked shocked.
This is almost equivalent to the revenue of other restaurants for three days.
"It's not 300 taels for two days, this is just for today! Wang Lin just calculated it!"
Su Qinghe smiled and added another sentence.
"Yesterday's revenue was only half of today's! So, in total, the restaurant has earned nearly 500 taels in the past two days!"
"500 taels..."
The two men repeated the number, too shocked to speak.
"So you don't need to save me any money! As long as it's not spending hundreds of taels every day, I believe I can still afford to support you!"
Su Qinghe made a joke in a rather unserious manner.
"We don't have anywhere to spend that much money..."
Hearing her say that she spends several hundred taels of silver every day, both men felt a little embarrassed.
