Chapter 149 A sister's happiness is true happiness
When he got home, the house was quiet, and Su Man'er was nowhere to be seen.
However, faint noises could be heard coming from upstairs.
Gu Feng couldn't help but wonder: He and Su Man'er usually lived on the first floor, and rarely went up to the second or third floor. Who was up there? Could it be that a thief broke into the house?
Upon realizing this, he immediately became alert and listened intently.
But after listening for a while, she realized she had been overthinking it—the breathing of the person upstairs was familiar, both rough and fine, and it could only be Su Man'er.
So he followed the sound and went upstairs.
There was no one on the second floor.
Upon reaching the third floor, I finally saw Su Man'er. She was bent over, busily arranging rows of cabinets that lined all four walls!
Those cabinets, aren't they the medicine cabinets used in Chinese medicine shops? Gu Feng roughly counted: one large cabinet has as many as five hundred small drawers, and each drawer is divided into four small compartments—that means one medicine cabinet can hold two thousand kinds of medicinal herbs.
The four large cabinets were placed side by side, and could hold a full eight thousand kinds of food.
Although this was far from enough in Gu Feng's eyes, it was already quite a remarkable display in modern times.
"Gu Feng, you're back!" As soon as Su Man'er saw him, she immediately put down the medicinal herbs she was gathering and hurried over to greet him.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Gu Feng asked, his eyes full of confusion.
"You asked me to get your medicine today, so I was thinking, since the third floor is just sitting empty anyway, why not set up a little medicine storehouse for you?" Su Man'er said with a smile.
"Oh? You specially had these medicine cabinets made for me?" Gu Feng felt a warmth in his heart.
"Hehe, I'm not going to waste my money like that. Even though we have a little money now, we still need to save where we can." Su Man'er proudly raised her chin. "I spent ages at the secondhand furniture market, and thankfully, I finally found some. This batch was sold off when a big pharmacy went bankrupt. I thought they were all pretty new, so I bought them all. It didn't cost me much at all!"
"Sis, you're amazing." Gu Feng couldn't help but hug her from behind and kiss her on the cheek.
"Hehe, stop fooling around, I'll quickly sort these medicines and put labels on them." Su Man'er smiled and pointed to the large countertop in the middle of the four medicine cabinets.
The top was piled high with plastic bags of all sizes, bulging and full, each labeled with the name of a medicine.
Gu Feng glanced around and discovered that in addition to the three hundred herbs he wanted, there were all sorts of other commonly used Chinese medicines. He roughly estimated that there were more than a thousand kinds.
"Sister, where did you find so many medicines?" Gu Feng was surprised.
"Pharmacies, I went from one to another to find them," Su Man'er said casually.
"How did you manage to gather so many?" Gu Feng was even more surprised.
"Ha, stop trying to make fun of your sister for being uncultured. I don't know many Chinese medicines, but I do know quite a few characters." Su Man'er slammed a book on the table. "Look, I copied this from here. There are also many that aren't available locally, so I've already ordered them from medicine merchants in other places. They should all be delivered in seven or eight days."
Gu Feng glanced down and saw that it was a thick book called "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Now he was completely convinced and no longer looked down on her. He kept flattering her, saying, "You're the best woman I've ever met."
Su Man'er giggled at his flattery, then raised an eyebrow with interest: "What...are you referring to?"
"You're great in every way. You're just as great in bed and out of bed." Gu Feng cupped her face and kissed her again and again.
"Then... you can't slack off tonight." Su Man'er blushed and whispered in his ear.
"Yes!" Gu Feng nodded emphatically.
"Then let's quickly pack up these medicines, then go out for dinner, and come back... to work overtime." Su Man'er winked at him.
Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
So, the two of them tidied the medicine cabinet while flirting and teasing each other. Their deep affection and tenderness blended with the fragrance of the medicine, filling the room.
Once all the medicinal herbs were sorted by category and labeled, the work at hand was finally temporarily put to rest.
The young couple then strolled hand in hand, affectionately together, to the street to have a meal.
Although the two now have a net worth of nearly ten million, they still live a low-key life and don't think about going to any high-end places. They just want to grab a bite at a street food stall.
"Hakka King" food stall is located on the side of Portland Street, half indoors and half outdoors. On hot summer nights, with a cool breeze, people prefer to sit at the well-ventilated outdoor tables.
The two had just settled into a seat by the roadside when a familiar voice rang out: "Young Master Feng, you're eating here too?"
Gu Feng and Su Man'er looked up at the sound, and lo and behold, wasn't that Fourth Brother?
"Oh, it's Ah Si, what a coincidence." Gu Feng smiled faintly.
What a coincidence.
You little brat, you have no idea how much I've suffered waiting for you.
Fourth Brother cursed inwardly, but on the surface he smiled like a flower: "Yes, yes, what a coincidence, Young Master Feng..."
"Okay, go eat your meal. I'm busy here." Gu Feng waved his hand.
Fourth Brother naturally understood Gu Feng's meaning: I'm busy picking up girls, don't get in my way. So the words "please give me the antidote" were already on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back. But when it came to understanding Gu Feng's temper better than him.
No matter how aggrieved he felt, he dared not be tactless at this critical juncture. So he sullenly walked to a secluded corner and sat down, hoping that the esteemed Master Gu would have a change of heart after his meal and give him the half-pill of antidote.
"Sister, ignore him, let's eat our food," Gu Feng said casually.
"Hmm." Su Man'er nodded and beckoned the waiter over. A plate of stir-fried beef noodles, a plate of Yangzhou fried rice, a plate of bok choy in broth, plus a pot of whole pig soup with goji berries, cost no more than fifty yuan in total. That's how they settled for dinner.
"Gu Feng, I'm so sorry. I was so busy tinkering with those medicine cabinets today that I didn't have time to buy groceries or cook for you." Su Man'er looked at him apologetically.
"It's alright, isn't this fine? If you find it troublesome or really don't have time in the future, we can just eat out." Gu Feng said with a considerate expression.
"How can that be? Food from outside often has too much MSG, and the oil is probably gutter oil. It's neither hygienic nor healthy. It's okay once in a while, but it can't go on like this year after year." Su Man'er looked at him with tender eyes, her voice lowered, "Cooking for you is the happiest thing for me. I promise I'll try my best to make time to cook for you at home from now on."
"Okay, sister is so kind." Gu Feng felt incredibly warm inside and naturally nodded without hesitation.
"Heh, silly boy, eat up, eat more, you still have to work overtime tonight." Su Man'er's face turned red again.
Just as things were getting warm and harmonious, a Toyota suddenly pulled up on the side of the road.
The car window rolled down, and a middle-aged man's face popped out, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Su?"
