After transmigrating,The Female Supporting Character Became Darling of The Five

Chapter 12: Finally, Someone at Home Cooks Better than You

In the end, there was only one Su Yun left. He watched Su Guan serve a bowl of pumpkin rice with eager eyes, thinking she would hand it to him. However, Su Guan sat down with the bowl herself, leaving Su Yun, who was treated differently, almost infuriated.

He silently clenched his fists. Su Guan must have been sent by the heavens to mess with his mindset.

"Sister Guan Guan, these potato pancakes look delicious!" Su Yi smiled.

"Hmph, what good is it to look delicious? It's only good if it tastes good!" Su Yun ruthlessly retorted. At home, Yue Yue never cooked, and when she did, it wasn't tasty. He was the one who cooked the most delicious meals.

Could Miss Su Guan really make something delicious?

Su Guan ignored Su Yun's taunts and handed a potato pancake to Su Jing.

"Big brother, try it and see if it's delicious!"

"Thank you, Guan Guan!" Su Jing took the bowl.

"Don't mention it, big brother!"

Su Jing took a bite of the potato pancake first. His eyes instantly lit up. The pancake was soft, fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and had no hint of burning. It was the tastiest pancake he had ever eaten, even better than those sold outside.

Both in appearance and taste, it was excellent. Everyone eagerly watched their big brother, especially Su Yun. If Su Jing frowned, he knew the taste must be disappointing.

"It's delicious, you all should try it!" Su Jing exclaimed. Hearing this, Su Yun's expression nearly collapsed.

Everyone grabbed a piece of the potato pancake and started eating. At first, they were cautious, but after the first bite, they began devouring them eagerly.

Although no one was speaking, it was clear that the food was delicious. Su Yun, not believing it, took a piece and tasted it. Then, he gave Su Guan a meaningful look, and Su Guan raised an eyebrow in response.

How could she, a young lady, possibly cook such rustic food and do it so well?

The pumpkin rice was sweet and delicious. They rarely tried this kind of cuisine, finding it fresh and exciting. Each person ate two bowls of pumpkin rice, two potato pancakes, and finished the refreshing and tasty purslane.

Su Yun was still in shock. All the food on the table had been eaten, an unprecedented occurrence. Not a single grain of rice was left in the pot. Meanwhile, Su Guan had finished eating a small bowl of pumpkin rice at her own pace and felt full.

Su Yi, holding his stomach, teased Su Yun, "Fourth brother, it seems someone at home finally cooks better than you!"

Hearing this, Su Yun glared at him fiercely. "Shut up!"

These twin brothers, there is no affection and understanding between them as twins at all. They belong to the type who dislike each other, and they've been quarreling since they were little. It's said that they even fought in their mother's womb. When mother Su was carrying them, her belly was big, and she had to endure intense fetal movements, one bump after another, which looked terrifying.

After dinner, Su Guan started to clean the dishes but was stopped by Su Jing:

"Guys, Guan Guan is already responsible for cooking, let the brothers do the dishes. Su Yun, you wash!"

Su Yun was puzzled. Suddenly, he was assigned a task. The big brother's words sounded nice, but why did he not wash himself? What's going on?

"Why do I have to wash? Clearly, all of you ate more than I did!"

"Because you look the least tired. After working all morning, you still have the energy to nitpick. If you don't wash, who will?" Su Jing said seriously.

"Ha..." Su Guan couldn't help but laugh mischievously. The big brother was getting back at her!

Seeing Su Yun's resentful look, Su Chen and Su Yi both laughed, and even the usually quiet Su Mu couldn't help but raise his lips.

"Laugh all you want!" Su Yun, seeing Su Guan laugh so joyfully, proudly stood up and took the chopsticks from her.

"I'll wash!"

The noon sun was scorching, so the five brothers rested at home for a while before returning to work in the fields. Su Guan brewed licorice water for them to drink when they went to work in the afternoon.

The brothers all went back to their rooms for a nap, but Su Guan couldn't fall asleep. The Su family's house was rather empty, and she needed to figure out a way to improve their living conditions.

Next spring would be the imperial examination, and Su Jing needed a considerable amount of money to go take it. In the original story, father Su worked day and night at the mine to save up for him, but he ended up with two broken legs due to a cave-in. This unfortunate event worsened the already dire financial situation of the Su family. Su Jing had to give up the imperial examination again. At that time, Gu Yue ignored her family's objections and insisted on helping the Su family. She provided the much-needed money, which caused a rift between her and her birth mother. Father Su needed life-saving money at the time, so he accepted the silver from Gu Yue.

Afterward, Su Jing couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart. When he became more prominent in his official career, he treated Gu Yue well at all costs.

As the female protagonist in the book, whenever the Su family faced difficulties, Gu Yue would conveniently appear and solve the problems, solidifying her position in the Su family's heart like a rock.

Thinking about this, Su Guan didn't dare to think further. If she couldn't earn the genuine affection of her brothers, would she be unable to change her tragic fate in the future?

Su Guan reached under her pillow and touched the heavy gold ring. She considered wearing it, but then thought it wouldn't be appropriate. She had just returned to the Su family, and their relationship was still fragile. Besides, Su's sons all had their pride. If she used this ring just like that, they might think it was silver brought from the Gu family and wouldn't use it, seeing it as an insult.

Forget it, there's still half a year. She was a modern person; could she not survive in ancient times?

This gold ring was something she brought from the modern era and was also a keepsake. She couldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the afternoon, the five brothers went back to work, and Su Guan prepared two jars of licorice water for them, which should be enough to drink.

"The sun is strong outside, the brothers must wear their straw hats tightly!"

Each of them wore a straw hat, their clothes were patched and stained with mud, and the colors had faded from washing. Who would have thought that they would each become a big shot in the future?

Su Yun looked a bit wilted, not as spirited as he was in the morning. Could it be because he just woke up?

"Guan Guan, it's fine to wait for us to come back and cook dinner in the evening. You just came back, so take some time to adapt to the countryside life. Don't feel burdened about not doing anything; daughters of the Su family are meant to be pampered. You have so many brothers, just like Yue Yue, you only need to stay at home, grow up safely and happily!"

Su Jing felt that although Su Guan had returned to the countryside, life was not as good as before, but they would not let her suffer or be wronged.

"Cooking a meal is not tiring for me, big brother, don't see me as too delicate!"

Su Guan didn't want to be lazy. Being diligent was also a way to adapt to rural life. Moreover, she couldn't just rest because they said she could; she had to be proactive to be liked.
