Aunt Su and Grandmother Su didn't get any money from Su Tang.

On the contrary, they had to spit out everything they ate from their stomachs. How could they give anything to Su Tang if she comes and asks for it?

But now the governor was sitting here with officers armed with swords on their waist. Even if they didn't have the money, they would have to give it!

Grandmother Su was fortunate because all she had to do was to take out the purse and silver hairpin hidden in her sleeve. She immediately handed it to the officer.

On the other hand, Second Aunt Su had to go find the silver at the bottom of the box from her home. Grandma Su wanted two taels of silver from her before, but she dare not mention it now.

The money was handed over to Su Tang.

Everyone was waiting to see what Su Tang would do. She lightly said: "Considering that the second aunt's family helped my father arrange things for his funeral, I will give you one tael from this ten taels of silver."

One tael of silver is enough for a small family to have a decent funeral, and the money was not a small amount.

The people around nodded and thought that Miss Su was indeed loyal.

Su Tang took out another two taels of silver and handed it to Grandmother Su: "This money is for you. You have worked hard this time. Although I can't help with the marriage of the first brother, you can take this money first."

Two taels of silver could be used by a family of three to eat and drink for a year.

This was really a lot of money. No one could pick a fault with this.

Su Tang kept the rest of the money, and she said earnestly: "I will keep the rest of the money for my younger brother. My father also wanted him to study."

Shi Ding outside the door was filled with emotion. Miss Su was really kind-hearted!

Qi Tian Yun smiled: "Very smart."

No one would accuse her of giving less money if she was using the money for her father's last wishes, and she could keep the rest of the money.

Shi Ding looked at Marquis in shock. He was actually laughing!

What happened to Marquis recently?!

Qi Tian Yun already knew what Su Tang had done recently. Others might not be able to figure it out, but he had met Su Tang several times already, so he faintly understood how she was.

She was really smart.

"Let's go back to the mansion." Qi Tian Yun said lightly.

It would be the third round of the God of Cooking Competition in a few days, so he still could see Su Tang there.

He was looking forward to what she would do then.

Almost everything has been handled in the restaurant.

Even Governor Pei felt that Su Tang had done her filial duty. He looked at the scar on Su Tang's forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

This woman would definitely be beautiful without the scars, but it is a pity that the hands of such a vicious relative ruined her.

After thinking about it, Governor Pei said, "The money has been fined, but the injury hasn't been repaid. Someone come and take this Aunt Su to court, and then beat her 20 times with the big boards. From now on she is forbidden to step into the small restaurant again, otherwise, she will be seen as intentionally hurting people!"

Su Tang felt surprised in her heart. The governor's approach was what she wanted!

No more relative issues! In less than ten days, the second aunt got two board punishments. She must have lost half her life by now!

She also estimated that Grandmother Su wouldn't dare come back again for a while!

Everyone around praised Governor Pei as soon as this matter was dealt with. Sure enough, Su Tang wouldn't have been able to get justice without the governor's assistance.

Su Tang took Su Jin Hang to thank the governor and to see him to the door.

Lord Pei casually asked when he was leaving: "Is this store of yours a breakfast shop? What kind of breakfast do you sell?"

"I sell some porridge and buns on weekdays."

Governor Pei was still thinking about the porridge and buns when he got on his sedan chair. Then he suddenly remembered where he heard the name, Su Jin Tang!

Huh? Isn't this the chef that the Marquis admires so much?

No wonder Marquis took his token to the government bureau!

If he knew, he would have punished Second Aunt Su and Grandmother Su more severely so that he could get more credit with the Marquis!

Su Tang wouldn't know the Governor's inner thoughts though.

She was thanking the people who helped speak up for her. Zhou Cong and Su Jin Hang also needed to go back to school quickly because they shouldn't delay their schoolwork.

Su Tang counted the money again and asked Wang Wu's wife to take the money to the butcher's house with Aunt Zhou.

The people finally dispersed after everything else was taken care of.

Only Grandmother Su and her grandson were left inside.

The smile on Su Tang's face faded a little as she sat down on the newly made chair. She slowly started to ask, "When does Grandma plan to return home since I gave you the carriage fee?"

Grandmother Su's mind was finally cleared, so she pointed to Su Tang. Her whole body was trembling: "You did it on purpose! It was intentional! Obviously, since I told you that I had the money, but you pretend not to know!"

"So, when are you going to leave? Otherwise, you won't be the only one to steal things next time." Su Tang looked at her little cousin who was almost ten years old, "He's the one who slipped into my room and stole things."

Grandmother Su was very fond of this grandson who she had nursed from childhood till now and immediately hid her little grandson behind her.

She now knew that Su Tang would really do it if she said so.

Grandmother Su saw Su Tang's eyes were indifferent as if she didn't care about her at all, and they subconsciously started a staring contest.

She is leaving! She is leaving right now!

Grandmother Su and her little cousin had already left with their luggage by the time Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife arrived back.

The small restaurant had finally calmed down.

In the future, no one will come to create trouble using their elder status.

Wang Wu's wife was a bit embarrassed. The small restaurant was in a ruckus on the very first day she came and it terrified her that the owner might not let her come back.

Su Tang was in a good mood after settling the issues with her relatives, "Auntie Wang, I only asked you to come before, and we haven't talked about salary. I saw you doing a good job today, so I wanted to discuss it with you."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou simply went to the back kitchen to wash and clean up the kitchen. She won't eavesdrop on their discussion.

"I will offer you four silvers a month, and I will take care of two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Aunt Zhou still has a son in her family, so I let her bring him to eat here because there is no one to take care of him. In this way, I will make up for the extra mean he is getting. Do you believe this is reasonable?" Su Tang asked.

A healthy adult naturally eats more than a child.

Two portions of a child's meal were used to exchange for one adult meal, but they still benefited from this exchange.

Wang Wu's wife quickly nodded to respond. She currently has no children, but if she did then she could let them come over for meals then.

As for the salary? There was nothing to say. Since there were three of them now, the workload would be much better than before.

"Of course it is ok. You are the boss." Wang Wu's wife spoke.

Su Tang said: "You can have a paid holiday every ten days. Just let me know in advance when you are taking the day off."

Aunt Zhou was still cleaning up the kitchen after their discussion was over.

She heard Su Tang say: "The next three days will be holidays. I am too tired from the last few days. I felt like I slept for less than two hours a day. Don't worry though, I won't be cutting your salary. Just take a few days off."

Holiday again?

Aunt Zhou still remembers that she took a day off just a few days ago.

However, she naturally would not refute it if the owner said so.

Wang Wu's wife went back home confused. She saw her husband had also come back early. She talked with him: "The owner is too generous. Will she be okay if she gives the restaurant that many holidays?"

She got a three-day vacation as soon as she went to work one time. Was there such an owner?

Who knew that Wang Wu slapped his thigh: "Then we won't be able to eat the delicious breakfast?"

That's right! Those customers who were waiting for the small restaurant to open would be disappointed again!

However, Su Tang needed to rest.

She wasn't a girl who could endure hardships, to begin with, but the other day she was so tired because she couldn't sleep straight away.

Even when Su Jin Hang came back, she just gave him some money to eat out with everyone else while she went to sleep.

Su Jin Hang also knew that his sister was working hard, so he left lightly and finished his homework seriously by himself after dinner.

It was not until the next morning that Su Tang got up to stretch and whispered: "Sleeping in is much more comfortable than opening a store."

She would hire another employee when she gets more money. This way all she would need to do is manage the restaurant while others work!

This was the life she dreamed of.

Su Tang simply basked in the sun in the yard. She bought books to fool Grandmother Su, but now she has time to read them.

Su Tang suddenly thought of something while she was lying down.

It was the middle of April, which was the best season to eat acacia flowers.

She couldn't rest while she thought about it. In her original memory, there was a forest of locust trees with no owner here near the West district.

Very few people would want to eat acacia flowers now that the world was peaceful and prosperous.

Su Tang likes to eat fresh acacia flowers since the flower itself has a kind of flavor. One's mouth smells fragrant after eating it. It is a special floral taste that is slightly sweet but not greasy at all.

Su Tang used to get some acacia flowers to savor in mid-April and early May.

Su Tang decided to take Su Jin Hang to pick acacia flowers tomorrow while thinking about this. It would be the perfect timing since he would have a break from school tomorrow.

Su Jin Hang felt that it was suspicious when he heard his sister say this: "Is it actually delicious to eat? I have heard people say that these flowers are bitter when you eat them."

Su Tang shook her head: "Some flowers are edible. For example, there are famous flower cakes in South District. Someone could eat it as long as all of it is made deliciously."

Since Su Jin Hang has great trust in his sister, he listened to her about this matter.

So the two siblings set off early the next morning.

The two of them brought special scissors, so they can cut acacia flowers without having to climb the trees!

Su Tang almost started salivating while imagining the steamed acacia flowers and acacia pancakes.

They strolled to the outskirts of the West district without knowing that someone had followed them.

Qi Tian Yun has been busy at the barracks in recent days. Today, he came to the West district for a random barrack inspection, so his group of people was dressed lightly.

Someone came to report from the team that was following the two siblings. The elder sister was carrying a bamboo basket and had a strange weapon in her hand.

Since taking over the military camp, Qi Tian Yun has also received some assassinations attempts. He has seen all kinds of tricks. Random bystanders who seem to be very harmless may actually be evil-hearted villains.

So the people who came with him were very cautious.

They were already planning to catch someone.

Qi Tian Yun asked casually: "Strange weapon? What do you mean by strange?"

"It's two bamboo poles with scissors tied to them. They looked sharp!" The guards below hurriedly said!

Shi Ding couldn't help but say, "What's the use of such a weapon?"

No one knows because none of them have ever seen such a strange weapon.

Qi Tian Yun frowned: "There is a forest of acacia trees ahead, so let's go there."

"Subordinates obey!"
