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

Chapter 25: Everything is Under Control

Su Jing himself had tried it and found it good, and his brothers at home didn't think it was bad either, so this thing definitely had potential.

"Alright, let's go!"

This time, they were buying ten catties of pig lard in one go, so the pork boss gave them a discount of one wen and they bought ten catties of pig lard for eighty wen. They also got two bones without much meat, which they could use for making soup.

Su Guan had promised to buy some delicious treats for Fourth Brother, so she went and bought eight meat buns and three sugar cakes, spending fifteen wen.

All these mushrooms were collected by Big Brother and Fifth Brother through hard work, and they didn't buy anything, feeling a bit sorry for them.

"Big Brother, is there anything you want to eat? These pine mushroom were all collected by you and Fifth Brother, but I used them all!"

Su Jing shook his head in response to her words and gently touched her head.

"You're doing all this for the family, for us. The ideas are yours, and the money you earned. We're just benefiting from your efforts. Besides, the leftover oil residue from the pig lard you bought is also meat, a rare and good ingredient. Big Brother won't be dissatisfied, and Fifth Brother won't have any objections. He's always the most gentle."

Su Guan's heart warmed at his words. She was growing fonder of her Big Brother. The eldest in the family was truly different, always caring for his younger siblings.

On a tea house nearby, a young lady dressed in fine clothes with a charming appearance, adorned with hairpins, sat with two other well-dressed young ladies. Her gaze remained fixed on the siblings downstairs who were getting along intimately.

"Miss Gu, the pastries here are delicious, and the milk tea is exceptional. Don't you like them?"

These two young ladies were also involved in business dealings with the Gu family and were the daughters of local landowners.

Prominent families have their own circles, and Gu Yue had returned to her family for about ten days now. It was her first time going out, enjoying a high-quality life, and being attended by so many servants. She could have as many beautiful clothes and jewelry as she wanted, along with plenty of flattery from admirers.

Having spent so much time in the rural countryside, facing the yellow earth every day, she was initially uncomfortable. But now, she enjoyed the feeling of being adored and the sense of nobility.

Her parents treated her exceptionally well, fulfilling her every request, seemingly making up for the past years of neglect.

However, when she saw her Big Brother Su Jing getting along so well with that extraordinary and sweet-smiling girl, she felt a twinge of jealousy. Those gentle looks and petting used to be for her. She had only been gone for a few days, and her Big Brother had already been won over by this Su Guan?

This Su Guan had taken up so many years of her life, lived a life of luxury and wealth on her behalf for so long, and now she wanted to take away her brother's affection?

It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to go back. Although her mother strongly resisted the Su family, it was still her childhood home, and her brothers held significant meaning to her. Seeing them so harmonious together, she couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.

"The weather is too hot, I don't have an appetite. You all go ahead and eat, we can go for a stroll later."

She imitated the manners of the daughters of prominent families, speaking slowly and gently, with a restrained smile, not revealing her teeth.

...

On this side, Su Guan suddenly spent almost one or two silver, and felt a bit heartbroken. In times of financial hardship, every penny had to be spent carefully. However, at the market, she saw some dates for sale, free from pollution and additives. She bought some, spending five wen.

There were about twenty dates, just to taste their sweetness.

Back home, she shared some of the buns with her older brothers. Su Yun returned ten wen to her. She made three sets of molds, and the carpenter only charged twenty wen. Moreover, the molds were not large, so it could be made by tomorrow afternoon.

With eight buns, one person could have two, and Su Guan gave them to her eldest brother and fifth brother.

"Elder brother, fifth brother have worked hard picking mushrooms, so let them have one!"

Su Jing didn't refuse, he would usually give it away, but he was also afraid of upsetting Su Guan.

"Well, thank you, little sister Guan Guan."

Su Yi also wasn't shy, he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. Su Yun came over and insisted on sharing half.

"Give me half!"

"No!" Su Yi calmly refused.

"We are twin brothers from the same birth. It's only right to share half with me!"

"Do you now acknowledge that we are twin brothers?"

Although Su Yi said that, the fourth and fifth brothers often bickered, but he still gave him half of the bun.

There were only three sugar cakes, divided into six portions, with each person taking half.

But those dates, each brother had one, and the rest was left for Su Guan. Girls loved sweet things, and how could the elder brothers compete with her?

The next morning, Su Guan took the leftover goat milk soap she had made last time and went to the river to wash clothes. At this time, there were many people from the village washing clothes by the river.

He Jiaolan and Chen Yinghong were also there. Su Guan was now the talk of the village, as she had just returned and was still fresh. But she was a sociable person and went to where there were more people.

"Oh, isn't this Su's little sister? I heard you've been back for several days, but I haven't seen you. They say you're very pretty, and I recognized you at a glance!"

Su Guan usually didn't show herself in front of people, so many people in the village hadn't seen her. However, those who had seen her were amazed by her looks.

"Yes, Aunties, hello. From now on, we're all one big family, so let's all interact more!"

Chen Yinghong, seeing her shamelessness, rolled her eyes.

"Really shameless, which young lady behaves like her, always seeking attention everywhere!"

He Jiaolan, upon hearing this, laughed and said:

"People who look good attract attention wherever they go. Su Guan has a good personality. Don't always have a negative opinion of her."

"He Jiaolan, what has she done for you? Why are you protecting her so much? Are you just doing it for the sake of Su Jing's reputation?"

Upon hearing this, He Jiaolan immediately lightly slapped her and said:

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll get angry."

Chen Yinghong, who had no restraint in her speech, realized that she had said something wrong and closed her mouth.

On Su Guan's side, she joined a group of people chatting animatedly and took out her goat milk soap to lather up.

As she washed her clothes, bubbles formed, and a faint scent of milk could be detected, immediately catching the attention of a few older ladies nearby.

"Su family's young lady, what's this novelty you're playing with? And you even have bubbles!"

Su Guan thought to herself that she was in her element, successfully entering the gossip circle and initiating her sales pitch.

"Aunties, this goat milk soap of mine is amazing. After using it to wash your hands and face, your skin will become smooth and tender. Plus, when you use it to wash clothes, they'll have a delightful milk fragrance. Can you smell it on me?"

She extended her sleeve for them to smell, and as they leaned in, they indeed found it quite pleasant!
