My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

Mu Xun's smile wasn't a polite, fake one; it was a very serious expression.

"You dared to confront me for the sake of a little beggar, how could you be an ungrateful person? It's clear that what you just said is completely unbelievable. The only thing that might be true is your background."

"Your parents died early, and your aunt and uncle aren't exactly good people, otherwise you wouldn't be so strong-willed."

"Uncle doesn't have any great abilities, but he has some money and connections. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Every word resonated deeply with Su Wan Ning.

However, if she hadn't died once, she wouldn't have changed like this.

Jiang Tao'er probably never expected that her original intention to scare Mu Xun away would instead result in Mu Xun showing her even more kindness.

Although she accepted this kindness openly, she only dared to do so.

Her eyes crinkled slightly. "Alright, Uncle Mu, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Just then, Su Tang, who had gone to deliver steamed buns to the little beggars, came running back.

An old beggar followed behind him.

She winked at Su Wan Ning discreetly before feigning helplessness and saying, "Sister, this old man insists on coming back with me, what should we do?"

"Little girl, did you make those steamed buns?"

The old beggar was dressed in tattered clothes, but his eyes showed no signs of age, instead gleaming with a sharp light.

"I did it, old man?"

Su Wan Ning remained calm, only displaying a perfectly measured degree of oddness.

His eyes quickly swept over the old beggar's temples, and he noticed that the beggar was missing an ear, which pleased him.

In her past life, the wound on her wrist was destroyed by wolfsbane powder. When the doctor treated her wound, he mentioned an old doctor who was missing an ear.

It is said that he traveled extensively, loved to disguise himself as a beggar to treat the poor, and was extremely fond of gourmet food. He would eat as much as he could find delicious food as he wanted.

Unfortunately, the old doctor left the day before she came to treat her injuries.

Otherwise, she might have suffered less in her previous life.

Today, when Su Tang mentioned the little beggars, she remembered this matter. Calculating the time, it should be about time. Surprisingly, it attracted people here so quickly!

"Little girl, those steamed buns smell so good, could you...?"

The old beggar chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Before she could finish speaking, she sniffed, swallowed hard, and said, "Hey? What are you eating? Can I have some?"

"Sir, please sit down and have something to eat with us."

Su Wan Ning seemed to feel sorry for him going hungry, so she reached out and invited him to sit at the table next to Mu Xun.

She introduced Mu Xun to the old beggar and asked Mu Xun if he minded.

Although it was strange that Su Wan Ning was going to entertain an old beggar, but she wasn't taking his food, Mu Xun didn't mind.

Su Tang happily took the bowls and chopsticks and served herself rice.

She can finally eat her fill now!

This meal was different from Mu Xun's. On the surface, it was prepared by Su Wan Ning for herself and Su Tang, but in reality, it already included the old beggar's portion.

The staple food is white rice, and the main dishes are boiled sliced ​​pork, braised bamboo shoots, fried small fish, and stir-fried eggs with asparagus sprouts. There is also a lotus root and pork rib soup and mushroom meat sauce.

It has both meat and vegetables, soup and sauce, and all the ingredients are seasonal fresh vegetables.

The old beggar was very satisfied.

It's because something weird was mixed into the dish; that's what gives it that spicy flavor.

"What is this bright red thing? It looks quite nice; this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

There was a bowl of bird's eye chilies on the counter. Su Wan Ning picked one and handed it to him. "These are called bird's eye chilies. They have a unique flavor when used in dishes. You can try a little bit first. If you don't like them, you can eat other non-spicy dishes."

The old beggar took a small bite of the chili pepper.

Before he even chewed, a strong spiciness shot from the tip of his tongue into his throat, causing him to choke involuntarily. "Cough!"

"Look! That's it! Look, that old beggar is coughing himself to death!"

Jiang Tao'er's exclamation suddenly rang out.

She rushed in, snatched the chili pepper from the old beggar's hand, threw it on the ground, and, as if still not satisfied, stomped on it several times.

Everyone in the room was startled.

Su Wanning immediately stepped in front of the old beggar, "Jiang Tao'er, are you ever going to stop?"

"Sister, shouldn't I be asking you that?"

She grabbed Doctor Qi from behind her. "Please take a look! Are these things poisonous? I smelled a pungent odor right outside the shop, and look at that customer—his face and eyes are all red after eating! That old beggar almost got poisoned too!"

"I advise you to shut up if you don't understand."

A mocking smile appeared on Su Wanning's lips; she really hadn't given up her wicked intentions.

"Me?"

Mu Xun pointed to himself, a hint of anger rising in his heart as he looked at Jiang Tao'er. He quickly downed the bowl of reed root, lily bulb, and lean pork soup beside him in one gulp; the fresh and delicious flavor slid smoothly down his throat, so comforting!

"Sir, you'd better let the doctor take a look at you quickly."

Jiang Tao'er looked very worried for him, "My sister was also innocent of the crime. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and rushed to stop her, I was afraid she would have caused a big disaster."

Dr. Qi practices medicine at Renjitang and is very famous in the county.

It was quite a coincidence; it was the same person who had prescribed the bitter herbal medicine for Mu Xun. He recognized Mu Xun at a glance and scolded, "Your liver fire is excessive; how could you eat such things indiscriminately?"

He pointed to the chili peppers in the meat sauce and bamboo shoots, "In my decades of medical practice, I have never seen this before. The pungent smell alone is enough to irritate your lungs and internal organs. If you continue to eat it, it will surely burn your internal organs, causing dryness and inflammation. No wonder you have such a violent temper and have not gotten better despite taking so much medicine!"

A crowd gathered around the shop, and someone started shouting loudly.

"This haunted house opened its stove twice, and each time the aroma was so strong it made people dizzy. Did they put poison in it?"

"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution? This kind of shop shouldn't even be open! Just shut it down!"

There were two people who started it, and everyone else just followed suit.

Su Wanning glanced at Su Tang almost imperceptibly.

Su Tang quietly slipped out through the side door.

Because she was small, Jiang Tao'er didn't notice anything amiss, and only felt extremely smug and happy.

As she left the shop, she felt increasingly uneasy. Upon inquiring, she discovered that the shop had actually been bought by Su Wan Ning!

This is outrageous! Brother Bao is still in debt, and she's already opened a shop?

I can't open this shop, but I need to get the money back to buy myself a house!

Upon reflection, I recalled the strange food and the unfamiliar man in the shop. Although the man was eating in silence, his eyes were red and his neck was swollen, which was clearly not right.

She brought the doctor along for Su Wan Ning's own good!

"Sister, your aunt and uncle are seriously ill at home, yet you ignore them and come to open a shop. I won't say much about your filial impiety, but if you don't value the lives of ordinary people like us, then I must stop you!"

Jiang Tao'er declared righteously, "You can't open this shop!"
