Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Su Hong was Su...
Su Hong was speechless after being shocked by Su Li's words. Was being married actually nothing? No one had ever said such a thing to Su Hong before, or perhaps it was too unorthodox, which made her freeze in her tracks.
"Sister, other people's opinions don't really matter. What matters most is whether you're happy. If you're truly happy, that's all that matters."
Are you happy? Su Hong asked herself.
Of course I am happy.
Who wouldn't like someone who only cares about her and treats her well? But while she was happy, she also felt panic.
She couldn't help but wonder, was she really worthy of his kindness? Could she really trust another man again? If he one day discovered that I wasn't so good, would he treat her like he had done to Li Chunsheng before?
Su Hong didn't dare to gamble on that slight uncertainty, not only for herself, but also for her daughter.
However, deep down in her heart, Su Li's words still stirred waves, as if a crack had appeared in the darkness, giving rise to a seed of desire.
Seeing that her elder sister didn't say anything, Su Li said, "So if you also like Wang Erge..." We all support it... However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by her elder sister Su Hong.
"What? I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to cut vegetables." After saying that, Su Hong's face turned as red as rouge, and she turned around and ran away.
Well, Su Li was thinking of giving her elder sister some advice so that she wouldn't carry so many burdens in her heart, but her elder sister was scared away.
Su Li had to give up temporarily.
Su Hong was so upset that she couldn't help but think about other things while cutting vegetables. As a result, she accidentally cut her hand...
The wound was quite large and bloody, which scared everyone. They quickly sent Su Hong to the clinic.
"Are you okay, big sister?" It was almost time for dinner. Su Li was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw her mother Chen come back, she asked with concern.
"The doctor said it's okay, but the wound is a little deep and needs to be bandaged properly."
Only then did Su Li feel relieved.
"Okay." After saying that, she threw herself into cooking again. Don't mention it, without her elder sister in the shop, Su Li was really too busy to cook by herself. She had to work around the clock without any rest time. Unfortunately, no one else in the shop knew how to cook, so Su Li had to do it alone.
After a few days, Su Li's right hand and shoulder began to hurt, so much so that she couldn't sleep at night. Also, because the weather was hot and the back kitchen was extremely stuffy, Su Li fell ill after a few days.
This was the first time that Su Li had such a serious illness since she came to this world. Although she had a minor cold in the past, she recovered quickly. But this time, she had to lie in bed for several days without any strength. Su Li felt as if she was lying in the hospital in her previous life. This feeling was not pleasant.
"Don't move. The doctor said you are overworked and need to have a good rest." Chen came in with porridge. Seeing Su Li was about to get out of bed, she quickly spoke out to stop her.
Su Li,
"Mom, I'll just get up and drink some water."
Chen, "If you want some water, just call me Fourth Sister, or you can call me too."
"Mom, I'm really fine..." Su Li had been lying in bed for almost 3 days and she really couldn't lie down anymore.
"You have to lie down whether you have something to do or not." Chen put the porridge and dishes on the table and said without allowing any objection.
It's not that she is unreasonable, but the younger daughter is too tolerant. She won't say anything even if there is a problem. It was the same with her illness this time. She was obviously so tired, but she didn't say a word and didn't stop until she exhausted herself.
Chen still remembers how she felt when she entered the room that morning and saw her little daughter lying motionless on the bed. In an instant, she seemed to have returned to three years ago, when her little daughter was also lying on the straw bed, and no matter how she called her, she did not respond.
At that moment, Chen's blood seemed to freeze. She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say a word. Fortunately, her mother-in-law realized something was wrong and came in, then went out to call a doctor.
The doctor said it was because of overwork and that I just needed to have a good rest.
God knows, it was at that moment that Chen truly came back to life.
Then came guilt. He felt guilty that his daughter was in so much pain, but he hadn't even noticed. If she had noticed earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
It's all her fault...
…
Su Li couldn't persuade Chen, so she had to lie back down and let Chen feed her water and food.
She really wanted to say that she was almost well enough to eat on her own, but at the same time she was somewhat greedy for this warmth.
Since she could remember, she had never been fed by her biological mother. According to her grandmother, she was afraid that she would develop bad habits and could not change them, so she did not allow anyone else to feed her. It was not until Su Li fell ill and had surgery that she came to take care of her for two days. Those two days were almost the happiest time in Su Li's life.
But it only lasted for two days. After two days, she left, making the excuse that she had classes at school. Gradually, she came twice a week, once a week, twice a month, once a month, and never showed up again.
She always seemed to have many reasons, but Su Li knew that the biggest reason was that she didn't love her.
It’s unbelievable, right? How could a mother not love her own daughter?
But all this really happened to her, and she also wanted to know why she didn't love her, and she couldn't figure it out even when she wanted to die...
"Mom, why are you so nice to me..."
"I am your mother. If I don't treat you well, who will treat you well?"
Chen used a handkerchief to wipe Su Li's mouth, and then stretched out her rough hands to put the hair that was covering Su Li's face behind her ears.
"If I were not your daughter, would you still be so nice to me?" Su Li couldn't help asking.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If you are not my daughter, whose daughter are you?" Chen touched Su Li's head, as if condemning her for talking nonsense.
"What if? If I were not your daughter, would you still be nice to me?" Su Li felt that she was probably really sick and confused, otherwise she would not keep asking this question.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why her little daughter kept asking this question. She thought about it carefully and said, "I think so."
Even if everything is fake, the days and nights they have been together for these years are not fake. If the person in front of her is not her daughter, she will still treat her well. But after all, this matter is not true, so Chen doesn't know what she would do if it really happened, so she added the sentence "should be".
However, Su Li was satisfied with this answer. She did not ask for anything else. Just this one sentence was enough. The next second, Su Li reached out and hugged Chen, buried her head in her arms, and gently called out, "Mother..."
Chen didn't know what was wrong with her little daughter. She just thought she was sick. She reached out and slowly patted Su Li's back, again and again, just like her mother patted her when she was a child.
After eating and taking the medicine, Su Li fell asleep quickly. This time, she had a very long dream. She dreamed of things that happened in her previous life and things that happened after she came to this world. It was like she was watching all of them again in her dream.
When she woke up from this sleep, her body was completely healed.
After Su Li got better, she was eager to reopen the shop. You know, the shop had been closed for the past few days because of her illness and her elder sister's injury. This was not what Su Li wanted to see. After all, a lot of money would be lost if it was closed for one day. She was planning to save money to open a restaurant.
In addition, as a food shop, if it closes every few days, it is very likely that customers will not come, which is also not acceptable.
However, who would have thought that as soon as Su Li said she wanted to open the food shop, everyone else expressed their disagreement. The reasons were varied. Su Li summarized that most of them were worried that she would not be able to handle cooking for a long time alone and would get tired. A small number of them asked her to take a rest.
"The shop is right there and it won't run away. You're still young and it won't be easy to take care of yourself if you get tired."
"There's no end to the money you can make."
"Yes, Fifth Sister, health is more important."
To be honest, Su Li's sudden illness really scared everyone, and they couldn't help but speak up to persuade her.
Although earning money is also important, for everyone, talent is the most important.
"I've decided that I will learn cooking from my fifth sister in the future." At this time, Su Tao suddenly spoke.
Chen also agreed, "I will learn from you too."
The two of them didn't want Su Li to be so tired.
However, who would have thought that as soon as the two of them said this, everyone showed a subtle expression.
Su Li also expressed her doubts about this. In fact, she had taught everyone in the family one by one. That was why she understood that there were people in this world whose dishes cooked by following the same steps were unpalatable, such as her mother and fourth sister, each of whom cooked darker dishes than the other.
In the whole family, only the eldest sister has a talent for cooking. No one else is very good at it. Even if they try to teach her, she is the only one who suffers...
Seeing that no one spoke, Su Tao said again, "Really, I will definitely study hard this time."
"Fifth sister, you have to believe me."
Do you believe you can blow up the kitchen? Su Li expressed her doubts.
"Me too, Wu Ya." Chen also assured.
"Ahem, actually, we can hire two more people who can cook..." Uncle Chen came to visit Su Li, listened for a long time, and couldn't help but speak.
Yes, everyone was enlightened by these words and decided to recruit people!
"That's a good idea."
"Can."
As for Su Tao and Chen's statement that they wanted to learn how to cook, everyone simply ignored it and immediately began discussing how to recruit people, what kind of people to recruit, how much salary to pay, and so on.
Su Li didn't expect that things would turn out like this in the end, but it's not impossible. If she hired two more people to take turns cooking, she would have more time to do other things.
But there is no rush to recruit people. In this era, the skill of cooking is almost always inherited from a master and passed down by word of mouth. It is difficult to recruit suitable people who can cook unless she can teach them personally.
Yes, she can accept disciples!
However, it takes time for an apprentice to learn the skills, so it is still necessary to recruit one or two people who can get started right away.
With this plan in mind, Su Li was not idle. She wrote a recruitment notice and asked her fourth sister to post it at the door of the shop.
As a result, after two days, there was no one with real skills. Most of them just knew how to cook one or two dishes and came to try their luck.
Su Li quickly asked her fourth sister to tear up the notice again, and she ran to the pawnshop and asked the pawnbroker she had known before to help her look for it.
It turned out that the man actually had a candidate, and this person was someone Su Li had met once before.
"This man has a stubborn temper. He offended his previous boss and was kicked out. Don't say anything for a while. I'll go talk to him." The broker took Su Li to the man's residence and told Su Li about this man.
