“I was just about to tell you about that,” Di Kun said. “The other party gave me the account number and said we only need to transfer the payment before tomorrow.”
As he spoke, he opened his lightbrain and sent the payment account to Su Yue.
A surprised expression appeared on Su Yue’s face.
“Oh, my communication functions have been restored on my lightbrain. The other functions still can’t be used, though.”
In reality, he had simply opened a private communication channel for Su Yue and Su Yi. Through normal channels, people still could not contact him.
Of course, he had no intention of explaining that.
A flicker passed through Su Yue’s eyes.
“Oh,” she replied before immediately transferring the money.
Only after making the payment did she remember something.
“Can we use that place at night?” she asked Di Kun.
With a mech helping them sell juice, business would definitely be booming.
At least for a short period, it would be incredibly popular.
Since that was the case, they should seize the opportunity and sell as much juice as possible while the novelty lasted.
If she had known about this earlier, she wouldn’t have spent the entire afternoon busy in the kitchen.
Then they wouldn’t have to worry about insufficient inventory.
“No,” Di Kun replied.
Actually, it wasn’t impossible. If he spoke to Tao Fu, the matter could easily be arranged.
But he didn’t want his wife to overwork herself.
Disappointment appeared on Su Yue’s face.
“Then let’s stop going out at night in the future. We’ll stay home and make juice to prepare stock for the next day.”
“The location has excellent foot traffic, and with Zhan Feng as our attraction, selling several thousand cups of juice a day shouldn’t be a problem.”
“By the way, I suggest hiring two people to help sell the juice there. We can simply deliver the stock every day.”
“That way, we can free up time to gather supplies outside the city while still having enough time to prepare juice for the stall,” Di Kun suggested.
The property owner had already agreed to do some simple renovations on the rented space. Once completed, there would even be a food cart there.
Selling juice would become much more convenient.
Su Yue thought for a moment.n
“Okay.”
Hiring employees would increase expenses, but compared to the value of freeing up her own time, it was worth the cost.
The meal ended in a relaxed atmosphere.
After dinner, Su Yue announced that she wanted to go shopping.
Both Di Kun and Su Yi wanted to accompany her.
However, Su Yue wanted neither of them to come.
“We’re already spending money on renting a location and hiring people. The startup costs are pretty high.”
“To make sure those expenses aren’t wasted, we need to produce more inventory.”
“I can go shopping by myself. You two should stay home and keep making juice.”
Su Yi had no argument against her reasoning.
Di Kun, however, spoke up.
“You’re pregnant. I’m not comfortable letting you go out alone at night.”
“Besides, you’re shopping for things the whole family needs. There are also a few things I need. If I go along, you can buy them while you’re there.”
Su Yue wanted to refuse.
But then she remembered how much money he had helped her earn today. Since he was only asking to buy a few things, refusing seemed unreasonable.
So she could only nod.
Su Yi glanced at his brother-in-law and felt slightly annoyed.
“All right, big brother. When Yue Yue and I go to the supermarket later, we’ll bring you back something tasty,” Di Kun said at the perfect moment.
What delicious food could a supermarket possibly have?
No matter how good it was, could it compare to his wife’s cooking?
He only said it to cheer up his brother-in-law.
But it worked.
Su Yi immediately brightened up.
Thus, Di Kun accompanied Su Yue to go shopping while Su Yi stayed home with the service robot to continue making juice.
“Isn’t it a little unfair to keep big brother at home making juice all the time?” Su Yue asked after they left, glancing back at their new house.
Di Kun rubbed his nose.
“It’s only hard work for today. Once we hire people to help sell the juice, things will be easier.”
“At that point, there’ll be the three of us plus the service robot. Producing extra inventory won’t be difficult.”
“And if we’re still too busy, we can always buy another service robot.”
Su Yue immediately rejected the idea.
“A service robot costs at least 600,000 Star Coins. I don’t have that kind of money!”
She would rather do the work herself than spend so much.
Of course, if she had tens of millions of Star Coins in savings, that would be a different story.
Seeing Di Kun looking at her, Su Yue restrained her emotions slightly.
“I want to buy a medical pod first.”
“And save money to treat my brother’s condition.”
She suddenly turned to look at Di Kun.
“When we were on the Imperial Capital Star, the doctor who examined my brother said that only Professor Xiao Chen from the Imperial Capital Military Hospital might be able to cure him.”
“I heard Professor Xiao Chen spends most of his time on the front lines and rarely works at the hospital. But I still have to try. Once we return to the capital, I want to take my brother for treatment.”
“By the way, since you’re in the military, can you help me contact Professor Xiao Chen?”
Xiao Chen?
That kid was actually the only person who might be able to cure his brother-in-law?
“I can,” Di Kun answered immediately.
Meeting Su Yue’s surprised gaze, he smiled.
“You don’t need to worry about the medical expenses either.”
A doubtful expression appeared on Su Yue’s face.
Di Kun felt slightly hurt.
Did his wife really think he was such a stingy person?
He was only in a special situation right now…
“Mm. Thank you!” Su Yue quickly said when she noticed his expression, immediately smoothing over her reaction.
After all, the fact that he was willing to help contact the professor was already a huge favor. She wouldn’t ask for more.
Though, to be fair, in Su Yue’s eyes, Di Kun was indeed a little stingy.
“We’re engaged. You don’t need to be so polite with me,” Di Kun said, feeling somewhat frustrated.
“Mm,” Su Yue replied again, turning her gaze away.
Di Kun: “…”
Soon, they arrived at the supermarket.
Su Yue first purchased ingredients, snacks, and various household necessities.
Then, at Di Kun’s insistence, she accompanied him to the clothing section.
Although he claimed he was shopping for himself, he only bought one outfit.
Instead, he selected three outfits for Su Yue.
After learning Su Yi’s size, he also picked out two sets of clothes for him.
After buying clothes, Di Kun insisted on buying shoes as well.
Everyone in the family got a pair, but Su Yue received the most.
Thinking about how few clothes everyone actually owned—and remembering how much they had earned selling juice today—Su Yue happily paid the bill.
When they left the supermarket, she realized she had spent more than 5,000 Star Coins.
Then she remembered she still needed to buy containers, cups, and additional juice-making equipment.
Money really disappeared fast.
Fortunately, she had purchased a large amount this time, meaning she wouldn’t need to shop again for quite a while.
That thought made her feel much better.
After finishing their shopping and returning home, it was already past 6:30 in the evening.
The sky had turned dark, and the streetlights were glowing.
Unlike the neighborhood around their previous rental house, their new home was located in a villa community with bright lighting throughout the area.
When they arrived home, the lights on the first floor were off, but light could be seen shining from the basement through the elevator shaft.
Seeing this, Su Yue felt a little sorry for her brother.
After entering the house and turning on the lights, she immediately went downstairs to call Su Yi.
Di Kun followed her.
While they had been out, Su Yi and the service robot had produced a large amount of additional juice.
Although Su Yue felt sorry for her brother, Su Yi didn’t feel wronged at all.
When he learned that his sister and brother-in-law had bought him delicious snacks, new clothes, and new shoes, he was overjoyed.
