Chapter 29
Through the Qiao family's dinner celebrating the ability classification test, Jiang Yunu was certain of at least one thing, which was—
Among Aunt Daisy’s personal hobbies, there is probably one called “playing with her son”.
Jiang Yunu didn't really care about the bet. Although she sweetly and sinisterly "encouraged" Joyson in the hospital and encouraged him to do his best, saying that she believed he could do it, Jiang Yunu was not really prepared to let him suffer such a bad fate and to fulfill the consequences of losing the bet.
Jiang Yunu had even thought of something to say to "save face" for Joyson - he could use today's many happy events as an excuse, saying that everything went so smoothly today and he had gained many unexpected benefits. It was just a small bet, and the consequences of losing the bet didn't have to be carried out.
...In the end, Aunt Daisy spoke before her and waited with a smile to see Joyson fulfill his promise.
"Today is not only a big day for you, but also the day Xiao Jiang finally gets his household registration and officially becomes a member of our family." Qiao Daisi lightly pressured her son, "From today on, you are officially my older brother. You can't even afford to lose a bet, right?"
Joyson's face was as green as the green light that Jiang Yunuo saw when she was doing the classification test, which made Jiang Yunuo suspect that the light she had experienced in the detector was brought out by her and then applied to Joyson's face through the air.
Jiang Yunu: "How about..."
Joyson: "...Okay, I'll eat it!"
The words that Joeysen said with his eyes closed and teeth gritted interrupted Jiang Yunu, and his whole body exuded the temperament of a hero who cuts off his own arm.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Jiang Yunu hesitated and tried to stop her for the second time: "Why not just forget it? I think... Aunt Daisy's soup base is also very valuable! It's such a waste to use such a good soup to stew anything other than fresh ingredients."
Jiang Yunu tried hard to find a reason to stop it.
Qiao Daisi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, that's true. Then don't waste my soup base. Just use the water you use to wash the pot after cooking. That's more suitable."
"..." Jiang Yunu tried again, "Aunt Dai Si, I think the pot is also a relatively valuable kitchen item. Even if you use the pot water, the pot is a container that carries it, so it might have some small opinions."
Joe Daisy: "What does the pot have to say?"
Jiang Yunu: "A pot may feel unlucky because it has been filled with things it was never intended to hold."
Aunt Daisy's long eyebrows were still raised, as if she was thinking carefully about Jiang Yunu's words.
Joyson heard Jiang Yunu trying hard to save him and was so moved that he almost cried.
However, in the end, Joe Daisy gave her own son a kind smile, a smile like that of a female devil, and it also inexplicably reminded people of the fact that after getting married, she no longer had a husband to eat. So she turned her attention to her son, the female mantis who was evaluating his nutritional value.
"That's all right," Aunt Daisy said. "Joyson will take care of the cleanup, won't he, Joyson?"
Joyson really shed tears this time.
But there is no escape from the tragic fate and sad tears.
Jiang Yunu watched with bated breath as Joyson began to prepare to fulfill the bet. He felt that Aunt Daisy's aura was terrifyingly strong. Even when she was alone on the isolated island fighting against the "meteor storm" that suddenly tore through the sky, she was not as nervous as she was now watching Joyson's misfortune.
"Aunt Daisy."
Watching Joyson go to the kitchen to prepare an empty pot and water for rinsing, Jiang Yunu moved a few steps towards Qiao Daisi.
She touched the older red-haired woman's arm carefully. "Are we really going to be so cruel to Joyson?"
Jiang Yunu said this in a low voice, but she still had not given up on saving Joyceen.
Qiao Daisi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked towards the kitchen, raised the arm that the little girl had gently shaken, and patted Jiang Yunu's head with the palm of her hand.
"He took the initiative to make a bet with you, and then made a promise that would bring him disaster. He brought this upon himself," Aunt Daisy said flatly. "He needs to learn to pay the price for his rash actions. He needs to understand that not all words can be spoken lightly, and that promises can't be made lightly and then easily discarded if you can't keep them."
Jiang Yunu vaguely felt that Qiao Daisi wanted to use this incident to teach Joeyson a lesson, but... she felt that the price was probably still a bit too high for Joeyson.
Jiang Yunu: "But he is only 11 years old."
Before he knew it, Jiang Yunu brought up the "age theory" to plead for Joyson.
The meaning of this sentence is basically the same as the universal plea: "The child is still young."
Qiao Daisi looked down at her in surprise, and the hand that was originally patting Jiang Yunu changed to rubbing her hair, making her white hair, which was usually more "wild and chaotic", fly even more messily.
"How old are you?" Jodaisi was amused. "You told him you were only 11? Have you forgotten your own age, little girl?"
Jiang Yunu did not forget his current age, but he couldn't help but say the words when they came to his lips.
During a few words of conversation, the sound of water boiling in the kitchen gradually became smaller, and the flame on the stove was lit, with the rustling sound of boiling water.
...and the sound of Joyson sniffing, which was not completely covered by the sound of boiling water.
"...It sounds a bit pitiful." Jiang Yunu said.
Jodie's expression remained unchanged: "People become pitiful for the rash bets they make."
Jiang Yunu paused.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that when Aunt Daisy said this, her expression and tone did not change, but there seemed to be something deeply buried in her words, making Daisy, who said this, look unusual.
This feeling only lasted for a moment.
The next moment, Joyson came out of the kitchen sniffing, and walked dejectedly towards the simple shoe cabinet at the door. The movement of opening the cabinet door was so slow that it seemed to prove the saying - "He looks old despite his young age."
Joyson took a pair of shoes with the movements of a man in his seventies despite being so young. He closed his eyes in front of his shoes, then pulled out the insoles. It seemed as if his soul was also pulled out. He then slowly walked back to the kitchen door and walked in with a very sad back.
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Daisi were not even noticed during the whole process, but it didn't feel like Joyson was intentionally ignoring them, but that he really had no time to pay attention to them.
It was estimated that Joyson was completely focused on fulfilling his bet and had only enough energy to focus on the miserable "dinner" he was about to face.
"Aunt Daisy." Jiang Yunu watched Joyson's back and tried to persuade him again, "I think people sometimes deserve a chance to redeem themselves."
Jodaisy snorted, half laughing.
Just when some items that shouldn't be put into the pot were about to be put into the pot, and the Joe family's stew pot was about to be filled with "ingredients" that the pot owner had never imagined, Joe Daisy walked into the kitchen, grabbed Joyson's arm from behind, and pulled the things in his hand away from the stove.
Joyson was fully prepared and had also mentally prepared himself during the long preparation process.
I didn't expect that when I was about to be "killed", I would hear the final amnesty.
"Mom?!" Joyson turned his head, looking a little surprised and happy.
"That's all," said Jodie. "Go and thank your new sister, who's been nagging me in my ear."
Jiang Yunu's plea finally worked. Qiao Daisi left the noisy girl outside the kitchen, and dragged the sniffing Joeyson out of the kitchen as well, not forgetting to ask Joeyson to take away his "things that shouldn't be in the kitchen".
Qiao Yisen was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Yunu. He trotted off to put the things that shouldn't have been brought into the kitchen back in their proper places. He then washed his hands, rubbed his eyes, and asked Jiang Yunu, "How did you convince my mother? In the past, whenever she was determined to punish me, even if I begged the heavens, it was useless."
"I almost sacrificed myself," Jiang Yunu said. "I told Aunt Dai Si that although it was irresponsible of you to make such a bet, and the bet was completely beyond your tolerance, it was me who made the bet with you, and I didn't stop you in time, so I should also bear a certain degree of joint responsibility."
How to assume joint responsibility? Of course, Jiang Yunu's dinner also needs to make some sacrifices.
Maybe it doesn't have to be as tragic as Joyson, but there will still be some sacrifices.
Qiao Daisi had read Jiang Yunuo's physical examination report during the day. She was very satisfied with Jiang Yunuo's age and ability classification results. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the little girl being 11 years old or classified as earth-type. However, the series of red marks in Jiang Yunuo's basic physical examination, which were "far below the average value of peers", made her blood pressure rise.
After all, she was the one who was feeding Jiang Yunu recently. Seeing so many unqualified data and malnutrition, Qiao Daisi, as the person who feeds Jiang Yunu, was almost suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder when looking at this form. She wished she could refresh Jiang Yunu's entire physical examination form overnight and change all the problematic values to normal.
Therefore, she certainly could not bear to see Jiang Yunu sacrifice his dinner.
Joyson escaped the disaster and deeply understood what it meant that a man is like a treasure when he has a sister, but is like a weed when he doesn't have a sister.
However, Jodie still showed a bit of evil sense. She took over the preparation of Joyson's dinner, poured out the hot pot water, carved a pair of simple slippers with white radish, put the magical radish shoes into the normal soup pot, and let Joyson eat the radish shoes during dinner.
Compared with the previous treatment, this treatment couldn't be better. Joyson ate the carrot shoes with gratitude to Jiang Yunu.
After passing the superpower classification test, it is time to register for the junior superpower school, which is another big event in the coming week.
Thanks to Jiang Yunuo, Joeyson escaped the nightmare of "stewing real shoe soles in a pot". He cared more about Jiang Yunuo going to school than anyone else. The day after the supernatural classification test was completed, Joeyson was eager to plan a school for Jiang Yunuo and see which school she should submit her application form to.
"Can we go to the same school?" Joyson said.
He actually hadn't chosen his own school yet. Jiang Yunu had seen the enrollment flyers he had received before, but he didn't know much about the junior supernatural schools he could apply for.
Jiang Yunu said: "Let me check the school information again first. I don't know which schools I can apply to yet."
