The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun did not intend to use his spiritual energy, but gas to control the heat, because later, if they were to mass produce in small quantities, they would have to standardize these steps.

He fetched a pen and paper and drew a very fine circular scale and stick it on the gas stove, recording the heat, and the time he added water and the herbs.

Two hours later, he had his first jar of some black stuff. He took out a spoonful and tasted it, then immediately declared it a failure.

It really seemed like it needed more time and he needed more testing.

Now that they have just bought Starline Bio, they were in no hurry and could take their time.

…

Meanwhile, at the Song residence, Song Zhenhai leaned back leisurely in a chair with his eyes closed, and on the table next to him was a tea, a fan, and the jade sculpture that Song Qingshan had sent back.

“Father, how are you feeling?” Song Qingshan asked.

“I feel very good. Sitting next to it is like sitting by a lake in the south. With it, I don’t see the need to go to the south. I feel the same wherever I am.”

Song Zhenhai opened his eyes, smiled, and couldn’t help but praise again, “Good stuff, really good stuff.”

“Mr. Xiao said that with this thing, you won’t have to worry about your health for the next twenty years, and I can go back tomorrow with no worries.”

Song Zhenhai doted on this youngest son of his and said gratefully, “Go ahead, our family still has some influence in front of those politicians and businessmen in this city, but we can still have some military connections. You go back and do well.”

“I joined the army for the country, not for power.” Song Qingshan said.

“Your country is not in conflict with your power. Only when you have enough power you can do more in more important positions, right?” Song Zhenhai laughed.

“Indeed.” Song Qingshan nodded slightly and said.

“There’s one more thing. Mr. Xiao… today he offended the Sikong family at the auction house, and I’m afraid they won’t let him go. In the future Mr. Xiao will certainly have more trouble…”

“Uncle Qingshan also kicked Sikong Xing.” Before Song Qingshan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Song Linger.

Song Zhenhai’s eyes wandered back and forth between these two for a few moments and said with a laugh.

“It seems that Mr. Xiao has convinced you two completely. You don’t need to worry about this. Our family will definitely protect Mr. Xiao. One mountain does not allow two tigers, not to mention that there are four families in this city. The apparent balance will have to be broken sooner or later, and if the Sikong family dares to stand up first, we might just give it a try.”

Song Zhenhai had a hunch that the person who stirred up the stagnant water in this city had already appeared.

He paused for a moment and then said, “I still underestimated this Mr. Xiao. Maybe now our family protects him, but in the future, maybe one day our family will have to rely on him for shelter.”

As soon as Song Linger returned, she excitedly told Song Zhenhai about what happened at the auction, her eyes flickering with admiration from time to time.

Although Song Zhenhai felt that Xiao Shun had already shown too much at this young age, he also praised him for his boldness and momentum.

Song Qingshan did not expect his father to think so highly of Xiao Shun.

Song Zhenhai then changed the topic and looked at Song Linger with a complicated expression and said meaningfully, “Linger, I heard that you have been getting very close to Xiao Shun recently, how do you feel about him?”

“My master is naturally the best…”

Song Linger stopped mid-sentence and blinked, “Grandpa, you’re stalking me?”

“Do I need to stalk you? Your pictures are almost spread all over this city, right?” Song Zhenhai laughed and said.

“How is that possible.” Song Linger pouted.

“That’s just a matter of angle!”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“You saw that at the Yao residence last time. Miss Yao doesn’t love Xiao Shun at all. If you really like him, maybe I can help you talk to him?” Song Zhenhai said seriously.

Song Linger’s face instantly flushed and she quickly waved her hand and said, “Please don’t.”

Song Qingshan followed suit and joked, “Look at you. It seems that you really like him, just what will we be in the future? I call him Mr. Xiao now, and I’ll call him in a different way in the future.”

“Uncle Qingshan…” Song Linger beamed, her face blushed.

They looked at each other and smiled. Song Linger was still young after all, and they could see what she was thinking at a glance.

…

The night stumbled up to the sky like a drunken man who had had too much to drink.

In the villa, Xiao Shun got his third jar, and his third failure. He had run out of herbs, so he packed up straight away and took a taxi home.

When he arrived home Liu Yunxiang had already prepared an unusually sumptuous dinner.

Liu Yunxiang’s face also seemed a little better than usual. In the past, her face would be very cold, as if everyone owed her some money.

“What’s wrong with your mother?” When Liu Yunxiang returned to the kitchen Xiao Shun asked Yao Cen in a soft voice.

“How should I know? She’s been like this since she came back from the villa.” Yao Cen was also confused.

“You didn’t tell her about us buying Starline, did you?”

“How dare I? I told her that we bought a bankrupt company for 100 million? She’d skin us both alive.”

At the table, they ate in silence, only occasionally chatting about the latest news.

“Xiao Shun, drink this. It’s made especially for you, and it’s good for men. You should drink more.” Liu Yunxiang suddenly brought out a small pot of soup from the kitchen and placed it in front of Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun almost spit out the rice he had just eaten in his mouth.

Then the three first looked at each other with surprised faces, and then turned their gazes to Liu Yunxiang.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Liu Yunxiang also had a confused look.

Xiao Shun, “Nothing.”

Yao Cen, “Nothing.”

Yao Jianguo, “…”

At this point, Liu Yunxiang realized that her actions just now were too abnormal and said with a serious face, “In that case, I’ll take this opportunity to make things clear.”

The three unconsciously put down the chopsticks in their hands and waited for her to start.

She looked at Xiao Shun, “Xiao Shun, you have been in our family for so long. Now since you two have also done that thing, I can’t pretend I don’t know anything. As long as you treat my daughter well in the future, I won’t object anymore.”

Xiao Shun and Yao Cen looked at each other.

That thing?

“Also, Yao Cen is already twenty-six this year. The older she is the more difficult it is for her to have children, so you two need to hurry up.” Liu Yunxiang went on to say.

The three once again looked at her in surprise, especially Xiao Shun and Yao Cen.

“Did I not say enough for you to understand?” Liu Yunxiang asked as she met the gaze of the three.
