"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore." Su Yu said, bending down and rummaging through his bag. Finally, he took out a stack of RMB 10,000 wrapped in an envelope and handed it over, saying, "I did a good job on a mission. This is my salary and bonuses over the years. I received a total of RMB 20,000. There are RMB 10,000 in here. I'll give the remaining RMB 10,000 to my mother. Keep it safe."
Su Yan looked at the wad of money in front of her, her hands itching to grab it, but she didn't. She looked up at him with a puzzled expression, "Why are you giving me the money?"
“You bought this house, and now that I’m back, I should pay half of it. But I know you won’t accept it if I say so, so consider this 10,000 yuan as pocket money from your brother. You can’t refuse, or I’ll really be unhappy.” Su Yu finished speaking and deliberately looked at her with a stern face.
To everyone's surprise, Su Yan readily accepted it, saying happily, "Since it's pocket money from my brother, I certainly won't refuse. But if you want to settle accounts with me, I won't bother with you."
She never experienced the warmth of family in her past life, so having such a wonderful family in this life, she won't be so petty.
Feelings are mutual.
Su Yu smiled and said, "I certainly don't earn as much money as you, but I will work hard to climb up the ladder and build more connections to ensure your career goes smoothly."
Hearing this, Su Yan's smile froze, and she slowly said, "Brother, I don't need you to protect me. I just hope you are safe and healthy in the army. I don't ask for anything else. So you must not take on dangerous missions in order to gain merit. If I find out, I will never talk to you again, really."
"Okay, I promise you."
Su Yu looked at her with doting eyes.
It's impossible for him not to go on missions. He's already in this position, and the missions he'll encounter in the future will only become more and more dangerous. This is something that not only he, but also Jiang Jingxing, cannot avoid.
However, no matter what, he would never let anything happen to himself for the sake of his family.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Su Yan finally relaxed. "Then you should get some rest. We can talk again tomorrow."
After leaving Su Yu's room, Su Yan went back to her room, put the money away, and then sat down at her desk to continue writing the recipes.
The recipes she writes now are all for restaurants, including how often she will introduce a new dish.
With hundreds of dishes, it's impossible to cook them all. She will consider customer feedback and only make a little over a hundred dishes. If customers want other dishes, they can be made separately, but the price will be a bit higher.
She's already written two-thirds of the recipe; there's still time for her to finish writing.
She didn't stop writing until 1 a.m., and then she started writing the process of making medicinal cuisine.
She wrote down the recipes for the medicinal cuisine according to He Jinnian's requirements, categorizing them into different levels.
She wasn't in a rush, but now that she has some free time, she plans to write it down first, otherwise she'll be overwhelmed with all the things that will pile up after school starts.
She didn't turn off the lights and go to sleep until almost three o'clock.
...
The next day, Su Yan was awakened by the cursing downstairs. Before she could even recover, Li Juan's angry roars echoed from downstairs.
"That brat! Why is he so temperamental now? He never admits his mistakes, he's just like his father!"
"No way, I'm going to teach him a lesson when he gets home from school at noon! Otherwise, he'll really go wild!"
...
Su Yan's mind cleared instantly, and she immediately threw off the covers, got out of bed, and ran downstairs.
She walked into the yard and saw Li Juan angrily drinking water, while Feng Caixia was trying to persuade her not to be angry. Su Yu stood awkwardly to the side.
"Mom, who are you yelling at? Why are you shouting like that?" Su Yan asked, scratching her hair and frowning.
When Feng Caixia saw her, she said, "It's good that you're awake. Quickly persuade your mother that she's too old to have such a serious fire, as it will harm her health."
Su Yan glanced at Li Juan, whose face was flushed with anger, then looked at Su Yu, who was both helpless and embarrassed, and asked in confusion, "What exactly happened?"
She realized that only Feng Caixia could answer her question.
“Su Yu made breakfast for us early this morning, but Su Lei knocked over the millet porridge that Su Yu had served him without saying a word, scalding Su Yu’s hand and making it red. Your mother made Su Lei apologize, but Su Lei refused, and then knocked over the eggs on the table and ran out.”
Su Yan was a little incredulous when she heard this.
She thought Su Lei was a very good-natured, sensitive and sensible child, so how could he do something so outrageous?
But Feng Caixia would never exaggerate or lie to her; she had no choice but to believe it.
She snapped out of her reverie, walked to Su Yu's side, took his hand, and looked down at him; her face immediately darkened.
The backs of both hands were red along the wrists, and several small blisters had appeared on the delicate skin of the wrists, which looked painful.
Su Yu withdrew his hand, saying with a headache, "Ayan, I'm fine. Go check on Xiaolei. He's too young; don't let him run out and do anything foolish."
A few blisters are nothing to him; it's a minor issue.
He didn't chase after him because Su Lei didn't like him, and he could tell.
Before Su Yan could speak, Li Juan hissed, "Don't go! He did something wrong and won't admit it. Do we have to coax him? Does he think he's the emperor?!"
Li Juan wasn't entirely angry at Su Lei for treating Su Yu that way. Another reason was that Su Lei's actions showed her Su Changcheng's bullying nature, which was what she hated most and didn't want Su Lei to inherit.
“Mother, Xiao Lei is just a child who doesn’t understand things. The more you scold him, the less he will listen.” Su Yu said, “Just teach him slowly.”
"He's in second grade already, what a little brat! Does he still think he's a baby in swaddling clothes?"
Li Juan was furious and wouldn't listen to anything.
Su Yu silently shut up and cast a pleading look at Su Yan.
Su Yan shook her head at him and said to Li Juan, "Mom, I'll take my brother in to change his dressing. Calm down, eat something, and then go back to the shop to get busy."
Only when Li Juan is busy and earns more money will she be less angry.
Li Juan said worriedly, "Go quickly, don't let your hand get worse."
Su Yan responded and then pulled Su Yu back inside.
She took several kinds of medicinal herbs from the yard, mashed them into a paste, and then applied it to the burned area.
Su Yu instantly felt the burning sensation disappear, and the scalded area felt cool and comfortable, so much so that he couldn't help but sigh.
Su Yan said, "The redness will be much better after applying it for half an hour. The blisters will completely disappear after three applications. Does it hurt, brother?"
Meeting his sister's worried gaze, Su Yu said with a wry smile, "It really doesn't hurt. I've been injured much more badly during missions before, so don't be so nervous."
“Xiao Lei isn’t usually like this,” Su Yan said sadly. “I’ll ask him again when he gets back later. Brother, please don’t blame him.”
“He’s my brother, I certainly don’t blame him.”
