Chapter 20 Another Trial of Peace
The day after returning to the village, Su Yuning was idly preparing to go dig for wild vegetables with her mother when Zhou Xi and Zhou Dong showed up uninvited.
"Yu Ning, you play with your friends, I'll go dig for wild vegetables by myself," the woman gently instructed. "Remember to brew your father's medicine at noon!"
"Okay, sure." Su Yuning nodded in agreement.
After seeing her mother off, Su Yuning went to her sleeping father's room for a quick look, then gently closed the door and went to meet up with the Zhou siblings at the foot of the back mountain.
"Sister Su, my sister really wants to be your friend, so please don't be angry, okay?" Zhou Dong took the initiative to break the deadlock.
Su Yuning remained silent; she wanted to hear Zhou Xi's opinion.
Zhou Xi quickly added, "Little Sister Su, I've heard everything. You're with Young Master Ye now, so why don't you give Young Master Zhao to me? We can still be friends, go hunting together, gather resources in the mountains together, and have picnics and barbecues together, okay?"
Su Yuning responded with a half-smile, "If you like Young Master Zhao, then go for it yourself. I really didn't expect you to be so nosy about my affairs. Who I'm with is my business, so please don't interfere anymore!"
“Yes, I understand,” Zhou Xi replied.
Su Yuning continued to express her dissatisfaction, "I don't care about anything else, what makes me angry is that you concealed things about work. If there is a next time, we will break up completely."
At this moment, Zhou Xi's eyes lit up with joy. "So, you're saying you've forgiven my mistakes? Su Yuning, we're still good friends, right?"
Su Yuning finally stopped holding back and nodded with a smile, "Yes, you're very good to me and to my family. I have no reason to lose you as a friend."
Zhou Xi was overjoyed and immediately pulled Su Yuning around in circles, exclaiming, "Great! We're finally friends again!"
Zhou Dong, who was standing to the side, was genuinely happy for them.
"Where have you been these past few days? I've come looking for you several times, but you're never home. I miss you so much," Zhou Xi asked softly.
"It's a long story. My brother runs a shop in the city, and my future sister-in-law and I did the opening ceremony for him. Plus, my sister-in-law got sick, so I went to take care of her for a few days. Anyway, there are a lot of things to do. I'll tell you about it later," Su Yuning said with a smile.
"Shall we go up the mountain to gather resources today, or go hunting together?" Zhou Xi asked her for her opinion.
Su Yuning responded, "I still need to brew medicine for my father at noon. Hunting will keep us up late. Why don't we wander around and gather some ingredients, then head down the mountain earlier?"
“Okay, whatever you say!” Zhou Xi readily agreed, then ran home with Zhou Dong to get bamboo baskets, and the three of them went up the mountain together to collect things!
In the city, the defiant Young Master Zhao and his associates discussed their options and decided to launch a counterattack against Ye Beichen and take Su Yuning back from him.
After that, Zhao Gongzi's employees went their separate ways. Some went to inquire about Ye Beichen's romantic history, some went elsewhere to find beautiful unmarried girls to work as maids at Ni Chang Pavilion, and others went to help out at Su Muyang's shop. In this way, Zhao Gongzi's status in Su Muyang and Su Yuning's hearts would rise rapidly.
As the saying goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but it comes to you without any effort." Ye Beichen's first love has actually come to the capital. His first love is named Nangong Xue'er. She originally came to the city with others to look for work, but they got separated. With nowhere else to go, she came to a restaurant to look for work. When the waiter learned that she was Ye Beichen's first love, he quickly reported it to Young Master Zhao. Young Master Zhao kindly took Nangong Xue'er to Ni Chang Pavilion.
When the two met again, they were overwhelmed with emotion. Nangong Xue'er decided to partner with Ye Beichen in business and never be apart again. Ye Beichen hesitated, though, since he already had a girlfriend. But Nangong Xue'er assured him that they were just friends, so Ye Beichen agreed.
