The Su family of Su Jianguo didn’t feel anything particularly unusual.
Although the taste was indeed not great, the ingredients were just tomatoes and eggs!
They were also stir-fried in oil—how bad could it really be?
Could it be worse than tree bark from eight years ago?
The only two people who hadn’t touched the tomato scrambled eggs from beginning to end were Su Qinghe and Qin Wang.
Su Qinghe truly didn’t dare to eat it.
She had absolutely no confidence in her cooking skills.
Fortunately, nothing was wasted!
As for Qin Wang, he kept glaring at Su Qinghe from time to time, his eyes clearly saying: Don’t even think about harming me, you evil stepmother!
Every time she noticed his stare, Su Qinghe would respond with a bright smile.
Harm him?
Impossible.
He was her little treasure!
Without Qin Wang, how would she earn system points?
After a lunch filled with different thoughts, it was time for Su Qinghe and Qin Yu to leave.
They didn’t plan to hold a wedding ceremony—it was a sensitive period, and keeping things low-key was best.
Qin Yu preferred low-profile arrangements, and Su Qinghe simply didn’t care.
Her luggage alone filled two large wicker trunks and two big travel bags.
She knew the original owner had many belongings, but she didn’t expect this many.
A bicycle clearly couldn’t carry everything.
In the end, Su Jianguo borrowed a handcart and loaded everything onto it to push over.
Just as they were about to leave, the system issued another task.
[Today’s Task 3: Take the male lead’s exclusive bicycle rear seat. Reward: 100 points.]
Seeing that she suddenly stopped moving, Su Jianguo thought her laziness had kicked in again and quickly said, “Qinghe, just sit on the wicker trunk. I’ll push you—it won’t hurt your butt.”
Su Qinghe immediately turned to Qin Wang. “Qin Wang, you sit. Let your grandpa push you. It’s steady, won’t hurt, and you won’t fall off.”
Qin Yu immediately looked at her with approval.
The girl, though young and spoiled, was quite thoughtful.
She had even considered that detail.
There had once been a time when he rode too fast and accidentally shook Qin Wang off the back seat.
“Qin Wang, go sit on the trunk,” Qin Yu said.
Qin Wang’s eyes widened instantly.
His dad had truly been bewitched by this woman!
He was actually being sent to sit on a trunk!
But under Qin Yu’s stern gaze, he pouted and walked toward the cart.
His dad was busy and wouldn’t always be home.
He would settle accounts with this bad woman later!
Su Qinghe walked over to Qin Yu. “Then I’ll sit on the back seat of your bicycle.”
Qin Yu nodded. “Mm.”
She carefully sat down, and at that moment, the system sounded again.
[Task completed: Taking the male lead’s bicycle seat. Reward: 100 points.]
[All daily tasks completed. Host may now develop hidden tasks.]
Seeing another 100 points added, Su Qinghe smiled even brighter.
Unfortunately, there were only three daily tasks.
As for hidden tasks—too difficult. She wouldn’t actively pursue them.
Three tasks a day were already enough for her to live comfortably.
She was in a great mood, smiling the whole time.
Her smile, however, made Qin Wang even angrier—his chubby face turning completely red.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a large dark-red gate with peeling paint.
The gate looked heavy and old, not recently repainted.
Whether it was intentional or simply neglected, it was hard to tell.
After getting off the bicycle, Qin Yu unlocked the heavy chain and pushed the door open.
Inside was not a courtyard view, but a screen wall carved with mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds.
The carvings were old and faded, giving it a dusty, aged look.
But judging by its scale and design, this place had clearly once been a wealthy estate.
Qin Yu carried the bicycle inside and said gently, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Alright.”
They entered, passing the screen wall into a large courtyard.
The ground was paved with blue bricks forming a cross-shaped path, wide enough for carts to pass.
Each room—main hall and east/west wings—had corridors connecting them, so they wouldn’t get wet in rain or snow.
The house had blue bricks, red tiles, red doors, and lattice windows with glass.
It was clearly a grand residence.
However, the walls were weathered, spider webs hung from the corridors, and the red paint had peeled off.
It was obvious the place had not been maintained for a long time.
Qin Yu led her to the main house and pointed to the east room.
“I live here. Qin Wang lives in the east wing. Which room do you want?”
Su Qinghe blinked. “I can choose?”
“Of course.”
Qin Yu felt some things needed to be clarified in advance.
“I got married mainly because I need someone to properly take care of and discipline Qin Wang.
I know you’re still young, just graduated from high school. We’ve just met, and you don’t have feelings for me—you married me out of necessity.
I also know people nowadays value free love and autonomy in marriage. We can take time to get to know each other and build feelings.”
Since he had spoken so clearly, Su Qinghe didn’t bother hiding anything.
“What is the west room like?”
“It’s empty, similar to my side—two inner and outer rooms.”
“Then I’ll take the west room.”
“Alright.”
Just as he agreed, Qin Wang ran in from outside.
“Your dad and brother are here. I’ll go help move the things.”
With that, Qin Yu strode outside.
And just like that, only Su Qinghe and Qin Wang were left.
Qin Wang looked at her warily, as if she might attack him at any moment.
Su Qinghe smiled brightly. “Qin Wang, does this house have running water? A bathroom? Can you take a shower here?”
“You even know about running water and bathrooms?” Qin Wang blurted out.
“Why wouldn’t I know?”
She was a modern person who had transmigrated here.
She knew plenty of things he didn’t.
Qin Wang pressed his lips together. “Why don’t you ask about the kitchen?”
“Why should I ask about the kitchen?” she countered.
She wasn’t planning to cook anyway.
But looking at his face, a mischievous idea rose in her mind, and she asked with a smile—
“Don’t tell me… you actually want to eat the food I cook?”
