Su Jiu looked at Su Yu with concern, “Be careful on your own.”
After Su Yu watched Su Jiu leave with Su Xuan, he turned to Su Qin and his wife, saying, “Using Su Xuan, who knows nothing, to plot against me? Since you like Xie Yang so much, why not let her be your wife or sister?”
Su Yu’s words infuriated Yang Shanshan, almost making her spit blood. “Su Yu, you are outrageous.”
“Don’t say such things; they make everyone uncomfortable. Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Today, I happened to obtain an imperial edict from the Empress Dowager. In this lifetime, only Xiao He belongs to me. You can continue plotting against me and see if you end up dead by your own hands.”
Su Yu looked at the instantly changed expressions of the two and suddenly felt better. “In a few days, I have another grand gift to give you. Don’t be too surprised then.”
Su Qin reached out to stop Su Yu from leaving and asked sharply, “What do you want to do?”
“You’ll know soon enough.” Su Yu broke free from Su Qin’s grasp and left, smiling.
He had prepared this grand gift since he returned but hadn’t given it yet. Now was the perfect opportunity to present the gift, and he was looking forward to it.
Exiting the restaurant, Su Yu looked up at the two people watching from the window above and left without a word.
Yang Shanshan gripped the window, watching Su Yu leave, and couldn’t help but worry about his words about giving them a grand gift. “What does he want to do?”
“I don’t know. In these years, he has done things without letting us know. We don’t even know how much he has in his hands.” Su Qin frowned, still somewhat worried about Su Yu’s actions.
“I think we’re overthinking it. Even if he has something in his hands, what can he do in a few years?” Yang Shanshan doubted Su Yu’s words, not believing he could accomplish anything.
Su Qin didn’t say anything but felt that something was very wrong. If Su Yu couldn’t really do anything, he wouldn’t have said it directly. He wasn’t that kind of person.
When Su Yu returned home, Su Xuan Xuan’s shoulder injury had already been healed. She kept her head down, not saying a word, causing Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei to stand by with headaches.
Turning to look at Su Yu walking in, Su Xi helplessly spoke, “Xiao Yu, your sister…”
“If she wants to be a useless waste, then continue like this,” Su Yu said, indifferent.
Su Xi and Su Jiu looked at Su Yu disapprovingly, with Su Jiu giving him a stern look, “You, this brat, do you know what you’re saying?”
“Did I say something wrong? I just found out the true faces of those two. It’s just a show for someone, like pretending to mourn someone who died,” Su Yu said almost heartlessly.
Su Xuan Xuan looked up at Su Yu, and the look in his eyes pierced her heart. Once upon a time, this brother had been very good to her, thinking of her for everything good. But now, her own brother was hurt because of her, and he said such words—it was what she deserved.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu, feeling that these were not the words Su Yu wanted to say.
“Su Xuan Xuan, you are already much happier than my older brother and me. Don’t act like you want to die,” he said, turning around and leaving.
Wang Jinhe looked at the people in the room, then quickly went outside to find Su Yu.
Approaching, he reached out and pinched Su Yu’s face. Wang Jinhe said angrily, “Clearly, you’re worried about her. Why speak so hurtfully?”
Su Yu turned his head to look at Wang Jinhe approaching, “Who’s worried?”
He simply didn’t like her.
Once an arrogant female general, she had now turned into someone desperate for life. If the soldiers she once led saw her in this state, wouldn’t they be infuriated?
“You’re tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re really thinking. Worries are worries; why not admit it?” Wang Jinhe couldn’t quite understand what this guy was thinking.
Su Yu glared at Wang Jinhe, rubbed his headache-ridden temples, and said with little confidence, “Are you on my side or someone else?”
Is it appropriate to make fun of her own husband like this?
“I’m helping justice, not family.” Wang Jinhe waved her fingers, smiling ambiguously. “If you don’t want me to laugh, can’t you just be honest?”
Why is this person so difficult?
After all those years of sibling relationship, it’s not something that can be severed easily. This guy is just causing unnecessary trouble.
“You said you had something to do earlier, right? Go do your own thing.” Unable to argue with Wang Jinhe, Su Yu could only change the topic and ask her to focus on her own tasks.
On this matter, Wang Jinhe became serious. She looked at Su Yu and said, “I want to conduct an experiment to see how long vegetables can be preserved.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Su Yu curiously looked at Wang Jinhe, eager to know her purpose in doing this.
“Now, the vegetables we’re about to harvest include those grown from seeds soaked in Lingquan but not watered with Lingquan. I also have some that I watered with Lingquan. I want to see how long they can be preserved differently, so we can plan where to send them for harvesting.” She had tasted the vegetables grown by the village head, which might not have significant health benefits, but they had a much better taste than ordinary vegetables.
Su Yu found Wang Jinhe’s idea intriguing. “That’s a good idea. You can also try sprinkling diluted Lingquan water on the ordinary vegetables grown in the village every now and then to see how long they can be preserved.”
“That’s a good idea. If the taste changes after sprinkling diluted Lingquan water, it should be interesting,” Wang Jinhe said thoughtfully.
After saying that, she turned to Su Yu and said, “I feel like we’ll make money in winter.”
“Isn’t that expected? Your strawberries should be ready to eat soon, right?” Su Yu had long been eyeing the strawberries.
In the strawberry field, you could occasionally see a few ripe strawberries, and their flavor was truly exceptional. They should be ready for large-scale harvest next month.
Wang Jinhe gave Su Yu a disdainful look and said, “I knew you were thinking about my strawberries.”
“Such a good thing, why not make money during the New Year? And over there is already snowing. If your vegetables are transported there, do you know how much money you can make?” Su Yu put his arm around Wang Jinhe’s shoulder, smiling mischievously. “And you have to pay me, too.”
“We agreed on this, right? After selling the vegetables and strawberries, we split the profits fifty-fifty,” Su Yu said with a sly smile. He had already figured out how to take advantage of the wealthy people in the capital.
Looking at Su Yu’s insincere expression, Wang Jinhe always felt that those people might be in for a tough time, especially when dealing with someone like Su Yu, who had some tricks up his sleeve in business.
