Chapter 178: My Brother that Was About to be Eaten
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Tang Susu had stored a lot of vegetables in her backpack, the more she ate, the less delicious they became.
Besides, the vegetables they bought from the market were all greenhouse vegetables, which were definitely not as organic as the ones they grew themselves. They were grown with their superpowers, so the quality and taste would only be better!
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Tang moved from the leeks to the spinach. She was very busy. “Susu, bring the basket over to pick some vegetables.”
Tang Susu could tell how happy and fulfilled she was, and she also felt happy.
She carried the basket like a little girl picking mushrooms and followed behind Mrs. Tang, walking through the vegetable fields.
The entire roof was about a hundred square meters, and apart from the small path, the rest was like a real vegetable garden. Mrs. Tang even divided it into several areas.
“I’ve planted shorter vegetables as far as we can see from downstairs, such as cabbages, leeks, spinach, bitter chrysanthemums, lettuce, and water spinach.”
“I’ve also planted chili, lettuce, and tomatoes where they can’t be seen. But I’ve chosen short ones, so they won’t grow tall. Otherwise, it’ll be a lot of trouble if someone sees them.”
As Tang Susu listened, she felt a sense of comfort that she had never felt before. It was as if she had calmed down her inner restlessness.
She couldn’t help but pick a few more thin-skinned chilies, and the joy of picking them instantly welled up in her heart.
“This chili is really spicy. Try it tonight.” Mrs. Tang smiled as she wiped the dirt off her face.
Tang Susu’s eyes were warm and soft. “Sure. I want to eat scrambled eggs with chili, or fried meat with chili.”
“We’ll make both. You can pick more. If I remember correctly, Mingchu had only learned how to stir-fry meat with chili.”
Mrs. Tang couldn’t help but complain when she mentioned that they had learned how to cook. “I don’t know how many ingredients they’ve used, but fortunately, none of them were wasted. I’ll let them eat all of them. Not a single one is allowed to leave any leftovers behind!”
Tang Susu seemed to understand why they could cook so well.
Ever since they entered the apocalypse, their family had enjoyed all kinds of delicious food. They had become picky. Suddenly, eating the food that they cooked themselves would definitely be painful.
In order to get rid of this pain as soon as possible, they could only improve their cooking skills quickly.
“The main thing is that they didn’t know when you would be back and they wanted to give you a surprise, so they went to practice whenever they had time. Sometimes, I saw Mingchu practicing secretly in the middle of the night, just so he could beat Mingqi!”
Tang Susu suddenly felt how hard it was for her twin brother. Not only was he not as good as her second brother in martial arts, but he was also worse at cooking.
He could only become the king of practicing, even if he had to do it secretly.
As she thought of this, she carried a heavy basket of vegetables downstairs. The first thing she prepared to do was to play games with her twin brother.
She had to lose to him and protect his fragile little heart.
She quickly ran down the stairs, guessing that he should be lying comfortably on the sofa, but she saw a young girl squatting in front of him, her whole body close to him, not knowing what she was doing.
“Brother?”
The girl was shocked. She jumped up as if she had been frightened by something. Her face was red, and she was at a loss for a moment. Suddenly, she turned around and ran.
Tang Susu was speechless.
She walked to the sofa and saw a certain someone sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what had just happened. She couldn’t help but give him a kick.
“You’re still sleeping? You won’t even know when the zombies come in and bite you!” There was a tinge of sourness in her tone, just like how her brothers were afraid that some man would harm her. She also felt like her brother was about to be eaten by some girl.
“Zombies? There are no zombies!”
Tang Mingchu opened his eyes, and his body’s reflex made him suddenly in a defensive posture.
He looked around and instantly lowered his broad shoulders. “Susu, if I die from the scare, you’ll have one less big brother.”
He clutched his thumping heart, showing her a pitiful expression that was asking for comfort and a caress.
Tang Susu laughed. “Why didn’t you close the door when you were sleeping?”
“Wasn’t it already closed?” Tang Mingchu was not bothered by it. He turned around and saw that the door was wide open. “Oh no! Would that attract thieves?”
“Yeah, the romantic kind.” Tang Susu took out the vegetables from the interspace and sent them to the kitchen. She divided them and put them in the vegetable basket.
Although the entire shelter was quite shabby, and the small building looked particularly old, all kinds of daily necessities were available. It was obvious that the family had put in a lot of effort to clean it.
Tang susu was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly felt a dangerous aura beside her.
“Who bullied you? Where was the thief that stole your heart? What did he do to you?” Tang Mingchu clenched his fists.
Tang Susu couldn’t help but smile. “The thief is interested in the sleeping man, unfortunately.”
She stopped joking with him and told him what had happened.
“What the hell!” Tang Mingchu was instantly disgusted. He quickly pushed her away, went to the sink, and turned on the water. He washed his face with all his might. “Did she really kiss me?”
“No, she didn’t.”
However, Tang Mingchu still washed his face seriously. It was over. He wailed in pain. “I know that I’m handsome and will attract girls. Why doesn’t such an unlucky thing happen to Tang Mingqi?!”
Tang Susu was speechless.
“What unlucky thing?” When Tang Mingqi heard his name come out of his mouth, he knew that there was nothing good happening.
Then, his sharp eyes saw that he had rubbed his face repeatedly. He immediately looked like he was watching a movie. “If you keep on rubbing, you’ll lose a layer of skin.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, Tang Susu hurriedly stood between them. “Let’s find out who that girl is first and explain it clearly to her, so as to avoid similar misunderstandings.”
Tang Mingqi understood what was going on and didn’t tease Tang Mingchu anymore. To them, other than Su Su and Mrs. Tang, all the other women did not differ from men. They couldn’t think of anything else.
“To break in and touch Tang Mingchu… How could it be a misunderstanding? She was clearly prepared.”
Tang Mingchu’s eyes were filled with aggression. “Fortunately, Susu appeared in time. Otherwise. I would have lost my reputation, or something even weirder would have happened, and I would have to take responsibility…”
His entire being became surly.
Soon, the others also found out about this.
Just as they were trying to figure out who the girl was, Mrs. Tang said, “Who else could it be? It’s Cheng Cheng’s cousin.”
This time, Tang Mingchu was even angrier. “What the hell? Didn’t her mother want to introduce her to Tang Mingqi?”
Tang Susu’s pretty face darkened. She had wanted to ask about Cheng Cheng, and she had more or less figured it out from their conversation.
Cheng Cheng didn’t find her parents or brothers, but she ran into her mother’s younger sister, who was her aunt, and an 18-year-old cousin.
“Her aunt is dreaming. She wants to pair Cheng Cheng with Mingzhou, and then pair her own daughter with the Mingqi. She probably thinks that the Mingchu isn’t mature enough. In the end, the little girl fell for him instead. She was so enthralled that she wouldn’t even budge,” Mrs. Tang said with a snort.
Tang Susu laughed. She wanted all three brothers of hers? What a good plan!
However, she wanted to know what Cheng Cheng was thinking….
