Chapter 116: If you want to hustle, then hustle at 116Master Li hopped in front of Ye Cheng, "You’re really okay?" His tone was thick with disbelief. Su Xiaofeng had just lost her balance when Acheng stepped forward to support her. He had seen everything clearly from the kitchen. He had thought that Acheng would have a seizure, but unexpectedly, not only did Acheng not have a seizure, he acted as if nothing was wrong at all. Could this mean that Acheng didn’t mind being in contact with Su Xiaofeng? Ye Fei: "Grandfather, since they’ve already gotten that close, of course there won’t be any rejection." Old Jian: "It’s the kind that’s hard to let go of." — At home, Su Xiaotao waited anxiously. Xiaofeng would definitely not give up this chance to be alone with Doctor Ye and would surely use the opportunity to flaunt herself in front of Doctor Ye. As long as she got close to Doctor Ye, or had any close physical contact with him, it would spell doom for Su Xiaofeng. Su Xiaofeng, if something bad happened to you, you couldn’t blame anyone else. If anyone, blame yourself for liking someone like Doctor Ye. Doctor Ye doesn’t even like women. Of course, she wouldn’t tell this secret to anyone. She wanted to see how many women were fearless enough to want to marry Doctor Ye. Thinking about those who would end up like her made her want to laugh. Ha ha... "Sis." Su Zhiyuan rushed into the house with a packet of medicinal powder in his hand: "I’m back." Su Xiaotao perked up, watching Su Zhiyuan enter with a soft expression on her face: "Zhiyuan, what did Doctor Ye say?" "Doctor Ye told me to apply this medicinal powder on you. It should alleviate some of the pain," Su Zhiyuan said as he began to open the packet to apply it on Su Xiaotao. Su Xiaotao looked at her brother, whose expression was natural. Could it be he hadn’t taken Xiaofeng with him: "Did you go alone?" "I ran into Sister Xiaofeng at the village entrance, and she accompanied me. It was also her who called for Doctor Ye," Su Zhiyuan recalled the intimate contact between Su Xiaofeng and Doctor Ye and gossiped with a face full of intrigue, "Sis, you were right. Xiaofeng really is interested in Doctor Ye. I asked her to call Doctor Ye, then she pretended to stumble accidentally. Guess what happened?" Su Zhiyuan’s eyes were neither large nor small, but his gaze was sharp as he looked at Su Xiaotao, his eyes sparkling. Su Xiaotao’s heart raced. Right, right, Xiaofeng really did flaunt herself in front of Doctor Ye. Covering her racing heart, she asked calmly, "What happened? Don’t tell me Doctor Ye didn’t help her and let her fall." Just thinking about that scene made her want to laugh. "He caught her," Su Zhiyuan recalled that scene, which seemed beautiful, like a hero saving a beauty, "But Sister Xiaofeng acted a bit strange. Doctor Ye caught her, but she didn’t even thank him. Instead, she acted as if she had seen a ghost and told Doctor Ye there was a snake in the field." She ran away so fast that he couldn’t catch up with her. Su Xiaotao listened to Su Zhiyuan’s words, focusing on the key point: "Are you saying Doctor Ye actively helped Su Xiaofeng?" He had actively helped her—. "Yes, it was Doctor Ye who stepped forward," although Su Zhiyuan was standing far, he saw everything clearly: "But Sister Xiaofeng pushed him away. Sis, it’s really strange, isn’t she supposed to like Doctor Ye? Logically, she should be happy, why would she act as if she saw a ghost?" Something seemed off in the middle. "And Doctor Ye, what about him?" Even if initially it was a reflex to catch her, she was a woman and Doctor Ye’s body rejected women, surely there must have been a reaction afterwards. "Oh, he acted very naturally, gave me this packet of medicinal powder, and went home. Later, I came back too," Su Zhiyuan looked at his sister with admiration, "Sis, regardless, our actions today have progressed things between Sister Xiaofeng and Doctor Ye. If we just let them interact a few more times, surely sparks will fly between them." He hadn’t expected his sister’s feelings for Sister Xiaofeng to be this good. Despite how Sister Xiaofeng treated her, she still repaid cruelty with kindness. Su Xiaotao listened to Su Zhiyuan’s words, her heart feeling like it was being seized, making it hard to breathe. Was she trying to facilitate a relationship between Ye Cheng and Su Xiaofeng? She wanted Su Xiaofeng to taste bitterness. Why was everything developing differently from what she had expected? How could Ye Cheng have actively helped Su Xiaofeng? He should have picked her up and thrown her out. ... After breakfast, Su Xiaofeng began to clean up her room. Besides an old wooden cabinet, there was an old desk in her room that was losing its paint and had many books laid out on it. They were all high school textbooks. Flipping through, she found out that the original owner actually loved studying quite a bit. As for why she hadn’t been admitted to a university, it probably had to do with her mentality. She picked a few novels and some trinkets to put aside, ready to take with her to the city. As for the clothes she had previously, they didn’t suit her taste at all, so she didn’t want any of them and threw them all into a wooden cabinet. Then there was her wooden plank bed. Simple and easy to clean up, it took less than fifteen minutes to get everything ready. The villagers, hearing that Xiaofeng’s family was going to live in the city for a while, were quite envious. They heard that living in the city was expensive and wondered how long Guaizi’s family could stay there. "What about the two pigs we have at home?" Everything else was easy to arrange, just not the two small pigs at home. Not big yet not small, it’d be a pity to slaughter them, but then again, who would look after them if not slaughtered, given they were away for so long. "Each pig weighs less than a hundred pounds, a real pity to kill them." Guaizi too was somewhat undecided. "How about I stay home, and you three go to the city?" After all, there had to be someone at home. Inanimate things are easy to manage, living creatures are not. "Dad," Su Xiaofeng obviously knew the rural mindset well, where chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep were held in high regard. "You can stay if you want, just ask Master Huang to leave a room untouched for now." He Ximei was also worried about the chickens, ducks, and pigs at home; without someone to watch over them, it definitely wouldn’t work. "Right, you stay and look after the house. But don’t lag behind picking peppers, you have to help us deliver a cartload of peppers every day." "Okay, I’ll go pick peppers every morning, come back at noon to feed the pigs, and then deliver them to you in the afternoon." Fat lady had told him, saying the pepper business was a good one, and if done well, it could be quite profitable. Making money was what mattered. No matter how hard or tiring, he was willing to work. In the afternoon, He Ximei accompanied Old Guaizi to buy a new tricycle, larger than the one he had modified himself and capable of carrying more cargo. "Guaizi," villagers saw Old Guaizi riding a new tricycle into the village. "Is your family really going into business?" Xiaofeng’s work processing food for restaurants was well known to them. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Processing for the restaurant is one thing, we might as well sell some ourselves; we’re idle anyway. Every penny counts, right?" He Ximei sat behind, all smiles. "Anyone who has peppers, don’t bother taking them to town. Just keep them for our house." "Look at how pleased with yourself you are, acting like such a big boss already," Big Mouth laughed at He Ximei. "When you make a fortune, invite us to a big meal in the city’s restaurant." "It’s just a meal, no big deal." Donghua was tidying up the house, listening to He Ximei’s words, unhappy she complained to Su Guisheng. "Look at sister-in-law’s smug expression; I really can’t stand it." She really thinks doing a bit of business makes her a big boss, how joyful that must make her. "Selling chili sauce isn’t going to make much money; you’ll see, sister-in-law’s family will end up crying one day." "Exactly," Donghua didn’t see it succeeding either. "They really haven’t done business before, thinking it’s as easy as picking up money." "Let big brother and his family stir things up; they’ll have their time to cry." They really didn’t look cut out for business. If they weren’t cut out for it, they couldn’t handle this line of work. For someone like big brother, sticking to temporary jobs was the best strategy. —— "Ershun, Ershun," a middle-aged woman called out to Wu Ershun. "Wait up, Auntie." Wu Ershun stopped, looking at the woman sideways. "Auntie, what’s up?" "Ershun," Zhao Yanhong pulled Ershun aside and whispered, "where do you buy that chili sauce from? You can’t always deliver it when you have your own stuff going on. Take auntie there, I want to talk with them. If I buy in bulk, can they give a discount?" They ran a restaurant, so naturally, they were concerned about costs. A small bottle for one and a half was indeed a bit pricey for her. To think one bottle of chili sauce was gone after just two dishes. It tastes good, but the cost is high. "Okay, if you want to pick up the goods yourself, no problem; their family recently moved into the city." Upon hearing Auntie wanted to go herself, Wu Ershun patted the rear seat of his motorbike. "Auntie, hop on, I’ll take you there right now." When Wu Ershun arrived with Zhao Yanhong at Xiaofeng’s place, Xiaofeng’s family had just come down from Lihua Village. "Su Xiaofeng," Wu Ershun grinned towards Xiaofeng. "This is my auntie, the owner of Eastern City’s big restaurant. My auntie said she wants to buy from you long-term and was wondering if you have any discounts available." Zhao Yanhong was slightly chubby with a smiling face. "So you’re such a young girl! I thought only an experienced chef could produce such great tasting products." So young, looks not even twenty.
