Chapter 63.

Li Siping drove his taxi every day, leaving early and returning late, so he hadn't noticed the changes in Su Jueming's household.

Now that he came over, he saw that the home seemed different.

Seeing Su Jueming's ruddy complexion, he knew something good had happened.

And Zhou Huijuan, who used to always have a bitter face with a furrowed brow, now had a hint of a smile in her eyes.

It was too strange.

And now she had made so much food.

Only when Su Jueming announced that the family was going to open a Sweet Soup Shop did he suddenly understand.

'A-Ming, how come your family suddenly thought of opening a shop?' Su Jueming laughed, 'A-Ling and A-Juan opened it together.

Our A-Ling is a brilliant doctor, and her patients are very grateful to her, so they helped a lot.' Li Siping was even more surprised.

He looked at Su Fufeng, remembering the time he had gone with A-Ming to pick her up—back then she was a little sister who knew nothing.

How long had she been in Harbor City, and already she could open a shop?

Tang Bo, on the other hand, accepted it well.

'A-Ling is good at medicine, so making money is easy.

My A-Jing says you're very skilled.' He patted his leg, 'This leg of mine has really been cured by you.' Su Fufeng said, 'Tang Bo, you're not fully recovered yet.

You need to continue taking medicine for a while.

Later I'll help you with Acupuncture to consolidate, and then it won't recur.

Don't give up halfway.' Hearing this, Tang Jing quickly said, 'Dad, you still need to keep taking the medicine.

Don't think you're cured and stop.' Tang Bo said, 'I know.

But why aren't you drinking your beauty soup?' Tang Jing said, 'Beauty soup can't be drunk every day.' Tang Bo nodded, 'Right, your complexion is good enough now.

Better to drink less bitter soup.' Li Siping said, 'Is A-Ling's medicine really that good?' 'Even Granny Sun has certified it, what do you think?' Su Jueming said proudly.

Li Siping admired, 'A-Ming, you're really lucky.' When he had first brought her over, he thought A-Ming had taken on a burden, but now it turned out he had brought a lucky star.

She was good at medicine, could make money, and could even help A-Juan make money.

He laughed, 'It seems it won't be long before you move to a big house.' Zhou Huijuan couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

Moving to a big house was of course the biggest wish.

But she wasn't confident, 'It's still early.' Su Fufeng, however, took it to heart.

She had always thought she could just move out, but now she changed her mind.

Her uncle and aunt would definitely not feel at ease letting her live alone.

And now she was involved in gang disputes.

If people inquired, they would know she had only this one family in Harbor City.

If those people couldn't deal with her, they might target her uncle's family.

Living together, she could at least scan everyone's condition every day to avoid danger.

If she moved away, she wouldn't know when her uncle's family would be implicated.

Su Fufeng didn't want to see that happen.

So even if they changed houses, they would have to live together.

At least until she could ensure her uncle's family's safety, this arrangement would have to do.

That evening, Su Fufeng carefully studied the System's functions.

Previously she had only focused on the learning functions, but now she needed some self-protection functions, since she had been targeted by the Longhu Association.

'System, now that I'm being targeted, do I have to wait until someone attacks me to counterattack passively?' The Merit System said, 'This System will protect the host's safety.' Su Fufeng said, 'But look, they use schemes to ruin my reputation, and other patients won't let me treat them.

How can I earn Merit Points?

We need to ensure that my channels for earning Merit Points are not affected.

Don't you want to complete the task early?

Look how hard I've been working, and you're not cooperating.

Won't your master be very dissatisfied with you?

Capitalists hate lazy workers.

You are the laziest System.' The Merit System was silent for three seconds, then had some garbled code, and finally replied, 'The host can purchase this System's services, with charges based on different attack methods.' Su Fufeng recalled that the System had previously mentioned that after her original lifespan expired, she would need to spend Merit Points to buy the System's protection services.

It seemed she could buy them now.

She opened the interface and found that there were quite a few items.

Things like light tube explosions, electrical leaks, TV explosions, refrigerator explosions... basically anything related to electricity could be used by the System.

It could even control cars.

Su Fufeng could now swipe the screen proficiently.

She skimmed through and when she reached the bottom, she was almost startled.

The System could actually mobilize the military weapons and equipment of a certain country...

She was shocked.

But some things later showed as unavailable for purchase.

She patted her chest, thinking she would never use such a thing in her life, and she certainly couldn't afford it.

Not to mention how much upgrading would be needed.

Even if she were qualified to buy it, she couldn't afford it.

Better not to buy!

Su Fufeng looked carefully and found that even the most basic attack methods were very expensive.

A single light tube explosion cost 100 Merit Points.

But thinking back to the time when the robber pointed a gun at her, this price was still very cheap.

Of course, this also reminded Su Fufeng of something, 'Last time you directly killed some of the robbers... isn't that too lethal?

What if I only want to give someone a minor punishment?' The Merit System said, 'If the host does not set a custom result, this System will handle it on its own.' Su Fufeng saw that there was a custom function.

That is, she could fill in the method she needed.

However, she found a reminder in the usage conditions: unless the other party has malicious intent to harm the host, it cannot be used.

Otherwise, purchase is not allowed.

Su Fufeng had no objection to this; she didn't want to accidentally harm the innocent.

But she was curious, 'You can actually know other people's malice?' 'This System's friend is responsible for collecting human malice.

This System is just borrowing it,' said the Merit System.

Knowing that she had the possibility of self-protection, Su Fufeng's mood lightened.

She joked, 'There's actually a system that collects malice?

How does that work?

Does it do bad things to make people hate it?

You are the Merit System, so is your friend the Demerit System?' The Merit System said, 'The host has no right to know.' Su Fufeng laughed.

Looking at these attack methods, she silently calculated her Merit Points balance.

She found that she could only afford two light tube explosions.

She didn't even have Merit Points left for learning.

She really needed to earn Merit Points.

She now admired the System's master; it was the most successful capitalist.

It didn't need to supervise her at all; she, the worker, had to work hard to earn Merit Points on her own.

And now it was even more urgent.

The next day, Su Fufeng scanned the whole family and then went with her uncle and aunt to the Sweet Soup Shop for the opening ceremony.

After all, she was also the second boss, and she couldn't ignore the first day of business.

An Hui, He Li, and Ding Lanxiang naturally didn't miss this excitement.

They still hired the Lion Dance Troupe.

Zhou Huijuan was pleasantly surprised and a little embarrassed.

She thought it was just a small shop, but it turned out to be so lively.

This was all thanks to A-Ling.

'Congratulations, Boss Zhou,' An Hui said, pushed in by her husband Sun Zhonghao.

He Li also quickly said, 'Boss Zhou, today we start our cooperation.' An Hui said, 'I came first.

I've already discussed with Boss Zhou that she will deliver desserts to our factory in the future.' He Li said, 'Our dessert shop is open to the public.

Maybe we can help Boss Zhou become an old brand.' An Hui's face twitched, thinking He Li was talking big.

Zhou Huijuan quickly said, 'Thank you all for coming.

Later, go eat some desserts, and I'll make the first batch for you.' The two quickly went into the shop to grab seats.

Zhou Huijuan's skill was really good.

Before, at home, the materials and equipment were limited, so she couldn't perform as well.

Now that the shop was open, she put in twelve percent effort, and with sufficient materials, the things she made tasted even better.

Su Fufeng ate two bowls of dessert before packing some to take to Chen Shasha and Zhao Facai.

Seeing her cousin Susan sitting alone in a baby walker, looking confused at the unfamiliar environment, she said to Zhou Huijuan, 'Aunt, you should hire someone to help take care of Shanshan.' 'No need, I can manage for now.

Don't worry.' Since the business hadn't started yet, Zhou Huijuan didn't dare spend money on a babysitter.

Su Fufeng thought that maybe after they made money, her aunt would be willing to hire someone.

Su Fufeng carried the desserts to the clinic and saw people already queuing up.

Although she had said yesterday that she would come later today, the patients obviously wanted to see the doctor early.

She put the desserts on the counter and let Chen Shasha and Zhao Facai eat.

Zhao Facai said, 'Master, can your aunt manage?' Su Fufeng said, 'Today she'll manage alone first.

Later, if it's too busy, we'll hire someone.' Zhao Facai immediately said, 'Ah, can my wife learn the skill?

The kids are grown up, and she's idle anyway.

If she learns a skill, she can make good desserts at home.' Su Fufeng said, 'You need to talk to my aunt about that.

But Uncle Facai... don't impose your will on your wife.

That's not good.' She worried that Zhao Facai was making this arrangement just to please her.

Zhao Facai said, 'Of course I'll discuss it with her.

Master, don't worry.' He was finding a good path for his wife.

Learning the skill was secondary; getting close to the master's family would ensure a good future.

At least in old age, health wouldn't be a problem.

Su Fufeng nodded and didn't refuse.

Hiring an acquaintance was certainly better.

She entered her consultation room, and someone came in.

She had already done the check-ups for He Li and An Hui at the shop.

Now, a man in his forties came in, looking very honest.

Su Fufeng looked at the registered name, which said Liu Afu.

She asked, 'Mr.

Liu, where do you feel unwell?' 'I want a check-up.' Su Fufeng raised an eyebrow.

She hadn't had a new check-up client in a long time.

Previously, some ordinary patients had tried it, but it hadn't worked once, so they spread the word that the check-up was useless, leading to fewer people wanting to try.

So her check-up clients were all previous repeat customers.

Now, suddenly, a new one came.

She was curious, 'Sir, do you understand the check-up service here?' Liu Afu said, 'I heard it's a very impressive service, and people come every day.

I've been feeling unwell lately, so I want to try.'
