Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

There are more than a dozen schools and private academies of various sizes in Fuyou County. Su An can only ask Zhou Li for help with these students.

After all, he was a scholar before, so he must know more details than her.

Zhou Li also came to the breakfast shop to eat noodles. Before he had enough, Su An hurriedly pulled him to the next room to discuss asking him to help arrange a school for Sanwa.

Su An sighed and said, "They are already old enough to go to school. I wanted to observe carefully and compare which school is better, but now I don't have time, so I have to trouble you."

Hearing this, Zhou Li's heart sank again and again. He looked at her and nodded heavily, "No problem, but you..."

No matter how you look at it, the young boss looks like he's making arrangements for his last affairs.

"Oh." Su An waved his hand to interrupt the sentimentality and started by telling him about the strengths of each of the three children.

For example, the second child is smart and steady, and he longs to study and learn to read, but the third child is restless and has many clever ideas. In addition to studying, he has interests in all kinds of things.

The younger sister is well-behaved and it is hard to tell what she likes.

Su An spoke slowly and hoped that Zhou Li could find a suitable school for them based on their strengths and weaknesses.

Zhou Li naturally patted his chest and promised to get it done.

After thanking him again, Su An prepared to go home and rest.

Maybe it was because of the poisoning, she felt dizzy after walking around outside. If she didn't lie down for a while, it would be really terrible.

Little did she know that a thin figure had been following her quietly all the way.

After she left, he jumped out and grabbed Zhou Li.

"Uncle, aunt?" Zhou Li was suddenly frightened and looked at the person who came in surprise.

It was Li Guihua.

Has this person been secretly watching them the whole time? !

Zhou Li had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, the next moment, Li Guihua stared at him and asked anxiously, "Master Zhou, why did Xiao An ask you to find a school for the children? What is she hiding from me, her mother?!"

Seeing Li Guihua's face full of nervousness and worry, Zhou Li stuttered and felt more and more uncomfortable.

"this and that……"

Li Guihua knew he was trying to trick her right away, and immediately glared at him, "Mr. Zhou, if you refuse to tell us the truth, we won't welcome you in the breakfast shop anymore. No matter what new products we have, we won't sell them to you!"

"Ah——" Zhou Li screamed as soon as he heard it, sweat oozing from his forehead, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Auntie, this is the boss's business. Even if you ask me again, I dare not tell you!"

"If you're really worried, why don't you go talk to the boss?"

It’s not okay to not let him eat delicious food. How can you bully someone like that?

Besides, he couldn't bear to keep his family in the dark, so he could only hint at it in a bitter way.

Seeing that her threats were useless, Li Guihua felt that the matter was getting serious.

She no longer cared about Zhou Li and hurried back to the shop to find her daughter.

She looked flustered and didn't even notice Sanwa when she ran into him in the backyard. She just knocked on the door and went straight into Su An's room.

Sanwa had just learned that his eldest sister had returned home, so he came out of the house to check on her. He didn't expect to see his mother in this state.

Su Jiang and Su Ting both frowned, and even little Su Yue had a feeling something was wrong.

The three siblings looked at each other, then began to tiptoe to the door and eavesdrop.

At this time, in the house, Su An had been holding on for a whole day, and his cheeks were already pale.

After finally coaxing Sanwa away, Li Guihua came in anxiously again, "Xiao An!"

"Mom...?" Su An took a deep breath and sat up, but his voice could not hide his fatigue.

When Li Guihua saw her forehead covered in sweat and her abnormally bluish face, her breathing suddenly tightened. It seemed that all her daughter's strange behavior in the past few days formed a complete thread.

"Xiao An, are you feeling unwell? Come and let your mother see you!" Li Guihua rushed over trembling, holding Su An's hand which was as cold as ice, and tears flowed out.

"My dear daughter, what's wrong with you? Please tell me quickly, I beg you!"

The trembling pleading sound pierced Su An's heart like a sharp needle, and he couldn't help but see his eyes turn red.

Su An's silence made Li Guihua panic, and she became more certain of her guess.

"You must have caught something! Don't be afraid, Xiao An. You've always had bad health, so these are just minor ailments. Now there's a miracle doctor living next door. I'll invite him over to treat you right away!"

Seeing Li Guihua about to run out crying, Su An could no longer hold back and held her back with tears in his eyes.

"Mom, it's no use. I was poisoned, and the doctor said I only have three months to live!"

"W-what..."

Li Guihua's body froze in place, her face turned pale with horror, and she took two steps back in dizziness.

"Sister!!!"

At this moment, three little figures rushed in from outside the door, all looking at her in disbelief with red eyes.

"Sister, how could you be poisoned? You're clearly fine, please don't lie to us!"

Su An was surprised for a moment when she saw this, then she looked at the pale faces of the family, young and old, and sighed bitterly.

Since she couldn't hide it anymore, she had to pick out the details and tell them about being in prison and being shot by an arrow.

The whole family stared at her in amazement, tears streaming down their faces.

"Miss..."

"There's one more thing." Su An pursed her lips miserably. At this point, she didn't want to hide her identity from this family anymore.

This is also to prevent them from being more sad after I leave, and not even knowing that the original owner had actually left long ago.

"Actually, I'm not the real Su An, but a wandering soul from another world. For some reason, I've possessed this body..."

Su An felt weaker and weaker as he spoke. He lowered his trembling eyelashes and did not dare to look at the expressions of the crowd.

Just as she had guessed, as soon as she finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into deathly silence, and the crying seemed to have been stifled.

Su Jiang gasped in shock, his black pupils widened, and his little face became even paler than before.

Su Ting and Su Yue still had tears on their faces, their mouths wide open in a daze.

In the end, it was Li Guihua's choked sigh that broke the silence.

"In fact, mother has already noticed that you are not the same Xiao An."

what?

Su An's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked up in surprise and astonishment, "You..."

"Xiao An is my daughter. As her mother, how could I not know what her personality is like?" Li Guihua said, tears still falling.

"Is it the time when Su Dabao came to collect the debt? Xiao An was seriously ill and probably never came back since then."

"That's right..." Su An spoke with difficulty, staring at Li Guihua with complicated eyes.

If she knew, then why—

Seeing Su An's doubts, Li Guihua couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiao An... is a miserable child. If she can't hold on any longer, maybe it will be a relief for her."

"Maybe it's God's will that you can live again in Xiao An's place. No matter who you are or where you come from, as long as you are Xiao An, I will treat you as my own daughter!"
