“I was just about to tell you this. They gave an account number; as long as the money is transferred by tomorrow, it’s fine.” Di Kun said, opening his neural interface and sending the account details to Su Yue.
Su Yue’s expression showed surprise.
“Oh, my neural comms are restored. Everything else still doesn’t work.”
In reality, he had set up a private communication channel for Su Yue and Su Yi. Using the normal channels, they still wouldn’t have been able to reach him.
Of course, he didn’t mention that.
Su Yue’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Oh.” She immediately transferred the money.
After sending it, she suddenly remembered something.
“Can that place be used at night?” she asked Di Kun.
Using a mech to help sell juice would definitely make the business extremely popular—at least for a short while!
If so, they needed to take advantage of the novelty to sell as much as possible.
Ah, if she had known, she wouldn’t have been busy in the kitchen in the afternoon. That way, they wouldn’t have worried about running out of stock.
“No,” Di Kun replied.
It wasn’t that it couldn’t be used at night—if he told Tao Fu, it would be arranged. But he didn’t want his wife to overexert herself.
Su Yue looked disappointed.
“From now on, no going out at night. We’ll squeeze juice at home and prepare stock for the next day.”
“That place has good foot traffic, and with Zhan Feng as our mascot, selling a few thousand cups in a day is no problem.”
“Also, I suggest hiring two people to sell juice there. We can just deliver the stock daily.”
“This way, we can go out to gather supplies while still having enough time to prepare juice for the spot,” Di Kun added.
The rental location had agreed to simple renovations, including a food cart—selling juice would be very convenient.
Su Yue thought for a moment.
“Alright,” she agreed.
Hiring help would increase costs, but compared to tying up her own time, it was worth it.
They finished the meal in a relaxed atmosphere.
Afterward, Su Yue suggested going out shopping.
Both Di Kun and Su Yi wanted to come along, but Su Yue insisted on going alone.
“Now that we’re renting the spot and hiring help, the investment is considerable. We need to prepare extra stock,” she explained.
“I’ll go shopping alone. You guys stay home and make juice.”
Su Yi had no argument.
Di Kun, however, spoke up.
“You’re pregnant. I don’t feel comfortable letting you go out at night.”
“Besides, you’re buying for the whole family. I also need a few things. You can pick them up while you’re out.”
Su Yue wanted to refuse, but considering he had helped make her so much money, refusing to let him add a few extra items seemed unreasonable.
So she nodded.
Su Yi glanced at his brother-in-law, a little annoyed.
“Alright, Big Brother. When you go to the supermarket, we’ll bring back some tasty stuff,” Di Kun said at the right moment.
But what supermarket food could compare to his wife’s cooking? He just said it to please Su Yi.
Still, Su Yi was happy about it.
Thus, Di Kun accompanied Su Yue to the store, while Su Yi stayed home with the household robot, continuing to squeeze juice.
“Keeping Big Brother at home making juice all the time… is that okay?” Su Yue asked, glancing back at their new home.
Di Kun touched his nose.
“Just for today. Once we hire helpers to sell juice, it’ll be fine.”
“With the three of us plus the robot, preparing extra stock won’t be hard.”
“If it’s still too much, we can buy another household robot.”
Su Yue immediately rejected the idea.
“One robot costs at least 600,000 star coins! I don’t have that kind of money!”
She’d rather do it herself unless she had tens of millions in balance.
Seeing Di Kun looking at her, she calmed her emotions.
“I want to buy a medical pod first.”
“And save money for Big Brother’s treatment,” Su Yue suddenly said, looking at Di Kun.
“When we were on Di Star, the doctor said only Professor Xiao Chen from the Imperial District Military Hospital might be able to cure Big Brother.”
“Professor Xiao Chen is rumored to be on the frontlines most of the time, rarely at the hospital. But I have to try. Once we return to the capital, I’ll take Big Brother for treatment.”
“By the way, since you’re military, can you help contact Professor Xiao Chen?”
Xiao Chen? The only person who might cure her brother?
“Yes,” Di Kun answered directly.
Meeting Su Yue’s surprised gaze, he smiled.
“And don’t worry about medical expenses.”
Su Yue looked doubtful.
Di Kun felt a little hurt.
Was he really seen as so stingy in his wife’s eyes? He had special circumstances…
“Thank you!” Su Yue quickly said, hiding her expression.
He was already helping by contacting someone—that was enough.
In Su Yue’s eyes, Di Kun was a little stingy, but she didn’t push it.
“We’re engaged, no need to be so formal with me,” Di Kun thought, feeling a little frustrated.
“Mm,” Su Yue responded and looked away.
After leaving, they quickly arrived at the supermarket.
Su Yue first bought ingredients and food, then some daily necessities.
At Di Kun’s request, she accompanied him to the clothing section.
Although he claimed he wanted clothes, he only bought one set for himself and picked three for Su Yue.
After knowing Su Yi’s size, he also chose two sets for him.
After clothes, he asked for shoes—again for the whole family, especially Su Yue.
Thinking about it, their family really didn’t have much clothing. They had earned a lot from selling juice, so Su Yue happily paid.
By the time they left the store, she realized she had spent over 5,000 star coins.
With boxes, cups, and juicing equipment still to buy, she felt money was flying out too fast.
Luckily, with this bulk shopping, she wouldn’t need to go out again for a while, which eased her mind.
Returning home, it was already past 6:30 p.m.
Night had fallen, and street lights lit the area.
Unlike their previous rental, the new home was in a villa community, bright and well-lit.
Inside, the first-floor lights were off; only basement lights shone through the elevator shaft.
Seeing this, Su Yue felt a bit sorry for her brother.
She turned on the lights and went to the basement to call Su Yi.
Di Kun followed.
While they were out, Su Yi had made a lot of juice with the household robot.
Su Yue felt sorry for her brother, but Su Yi didn’t feel wronged.
Knowing his sister and brother-in-law had bought him tasty food, clothes, and shoes, he was very happy.
