Li Yi Cheng served Jiang Zhi En a bowl of ginger and red date congee.
“The morning is cold.
Foster father can warm his stomach with a bowl of ginger and red date congee!”

Jiang Zhi En hummed and took the bowl.
He glanced at it.
“You know that I don’t eat shredded ginger.”

“Son picked out the shredded ginger, knowing that foster father doesn’t eat it,” Li Yi Cheng said respectfully.

Jiang Zhi En nodded in satisfaction.
He raised the bowl and slowly drank the congee.

Li Su rolled her eyes secretly.
There were still many problems! She then picked up a soup dumpling and ate it in one bite.

Jiang Zhi En looked at Li Su’s rude gesture, shot her a disgusted look, then looked away.

After finishing breakfast, Auntie Zhang respectfully cleaned up the dishes.
Li Yi Cheng made tea.
Jiang Zhi En looked around and said, “This place is a bit on the small side.
There aren’t that many people who can serve you.
But, it is not a good time to relocate.
When the wind subsides, I will transfer you out of here.”

“No, when I have money, we can move ourselves,” said Li Su.

“Hehe, it’s not that I underestimate you, but do you know how much a house costs in the capital? You can’t even afford a side room in the capital!” Jiang Zhi En said disdainfully.

“That’s why I have to hurry up and make money.
I went to the shop that day to take a look.
It has such a good location and the powder inside is good, but the business is bad! I took a closer look.
The furnishings and service attitude were all subpar, so no wonder it wasn’t making money! Here is the plan I wrote.
You can take a look.
If you think it is feasible, then change it.
If there is anything you don’t understand, let Yi Cheng come back and tell me!” Li Su took out the plan she had written late last night.

When she saw that Jiang Zhi En didn’t pay much attention to it, Li Su was a little angry.
“Hurry up! Don’t delay me making money!”

“Look at you.
Your thoughts are full of silver.
How vulgar! Yi Cheng is going to be an official in the future.
Your appearance is too shameful for Yi Cheng,” Jiang Zhi En said as he rolled his eyes.
He then took the so-called plan and read it.

Li Yi Cheng was unhappy, but Li Su shook her head.
It was better to be rude than to be fake.
At the very least, it made people feel closer.

Jiang Zhi En saw it, and then did a double-take.
This plan was written in great detail, from the decorations and layout to the training of the personnel.

After reading it for a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Su with a strange expression.
“This was really written by you too.
Yi Cheng wouldn’t write such ugly words.
It seems that you have some skills.
Unfortunately, you don’t use it for other things.
Okay, I’ll change it immediately to what you said.
Rest assured, it won’t delay your money.”

This Li Su was intelligent.
It was a pity that it was rather unorthodox.

“Let’s go.
It’s time for class.
Today is the monthly exam.
As your foster father, I look forward to your performance.” Jiang Zhi En took the plan and looked at Li Yi Cheng approvingly.

From Jiang Zhi En’s point of view, if Li Yi Cheng couldn’t cope with this kind of turmoil, then how would he face all the court intrigue in the future? How would he win over the hearts of the people in the future and use them? This was a good opportunity to test it out.

Li Yi Cheng nodded earnestly.
“Thank you very much, foster father.
Mother, your son is going to school.”

Li Su nodded and took out a cloth bag that contained some snacks she made for Li Yi Cheng.
These past few days, Li Yi Cheng ate a lot at dinner.
She guessed that Li Yi Cheng must be dealing with something, but she did not intervene.
Instead, she prepared some extra snacks for him to fill him up.
After all, Li Yi Cheng was only 7 years old.
He was still growing and it would be bad if she couldn’t feed him nutritious things.

Li Yi Cheng smiled slightly.
“Mother, I’m going.” After these busy days, this meeting should be over.
He will let those people know that it is impossible for them to surpass him in this life.
He doesn’t scheme to subdue people’s hearts, so he didn’t care about those people.
What he had to do was leave those people behind forever so that they could only look at him from a distance for the rest of their lives.

Li Yi Cheng had always felt that when he got further away from them, when he finally stood at a height that was beyond their reach, the jealousy and unrestrained behaviour would naturally disappear.
All that would be left was them looking up in absolute surrender!

The results of the monthly test were as expected.
Li Yi Cheng once again took the top position.
His total score was leagues above second place.

There were rewards for first place on the monthly exam, 10 silver liang.
Li Yi Cheng received the reward from his foster father and had just exited when he was surrounded by several people.

Li Yi Cheng glanced at them, then took off his outer garments.
He carefully folded them, set them aside, then untied the purse from his waist and put it on top of the clothes.
He didn’t intend on paying them any attention, but if they wanted to fight, then Li Yi Cheng didn’t mind playing with them.

Then, he slowly rolled up his sleeves.
“Are you coming one by one or all at once?”

They were furious.
The one who was leading rushed up immediately.
After a moment’s hesitation, the others also surrounded him.

While Li Yi Cheng had made rapid progress in all aspects, he still couldn’t take on 9 people.
He also knew that he couldn’t win, so he only stared at one person for a fight, Lu Da, the one who was always suppressed by him.

No matter how the others beat him, he just beat up Lu Da.
Li Yi Cheng had been beaten.
He had a bruised nose and a swollen face with blood all over it.
He was half kneeling on the ground, panting.
As for Lu Da, he couldn’t get up after being beaten.

Li Yi Cheng was covered in blood, but insisted on getting up.
He slowly walked towards his clothes.
He felt pain every time he took a step, but he still stood straight.

He looked down at the blood and frowned slightly.
Someone next to him quickly helped him pick up his clothes.
Li Yi Cheng nodded slightly.
“Thank you, sir.”

This person was the gentleman who taught Li Yi Cheng the art of war.
At that time, he looked at Li Yi Cheng approvingly.
“The enemy is strong and we are weak.
To catch the brigands, you must first catch their king1.
Very good! Follow A-Jia to go wash and change your clothes.”

“Thank you, sir.” Li Yi Cheng endured the pain and respectfully saluted him.
He then walked off without looking at the dumbfounded classmates who were standing there.

The man looked at those people with disdain.
“Your skills aren’t as good as his and you don’t know how to have introspection.
Instead, you used such a method to attack a fellow classmate.
You should be ashamed! You still don’t know what to do? Help Lu Da up and get him fixed up.”

From then on, the people under Lu Da didn’t dare to target Li Yi Cheng, especially Lu Da.
He was afraid of being beaten up by Li Yi Cheng.
Not only did Lu Da dare not to target Li Yi Cheng again, but he defended Li Yi Cheng.
Of course, this is what happened after.

That being said, Li Su saw Li Yi Cheng leave in good condition and then return injured.
She knew what happened.

Li Yi Cheng had a face full of shame, but Li Su didn’t say anything about it.
Instead, she asked, “Have you taken medicine?”

Li Yi Cheng didn’t expect Li Su to say this, so he didn’t react for a while.
“I have taken medicine.
All the wounds are superficial.
It will just take a few days to heal.
Mother, don’t worry.” In fact, his injuries were quite serious.
He had hurt his lungs and he must take good care of them, otherwise it would affect his life.
But, he didn’t dare tell his mother the truth for fear that she would cry.

Li Su didn’t speak.
She just touched Li Yi Cheng’s hair.

When Li Yi Cheng fought, he only had one thought, that he couldn’t lose! He didn’t regret fighting, even though he was beaten so badly.
But now, when he saw his mother, he regretted it.
How could he forget how sad his mother would be?

“Okay, between us, is it interesting to keep secrets? In addition to the ointment, is there any other medicine that you need to ingest? Bring it over! I’ll make it for you,” Li Su said sternly.

Li Yi Cheng knew that he couldn’t hide it from his mother, so he took out the medicinal ingredients.
“These three need to be cooked together.”

Li Su took the medicine and turned to go to the kitchen.
Li Yi Cheng suddenly said, “Mother, I am sorry.”

“There is nothing to be sorry for.
As long as you don’t regret it,” Li Su said with a sigh.

After a while, Li Su brought the medicine.
She happened to see Li Lu Xi playing with Li Yi Cheng.
Li Yi Cheng was bending over to pick up Li Lu Xi, Li Su hurried over and put the medicine on the table.
She reached out to hug Li Lu Xi.
“Lu Xi, your older brother is injured and can’t hold you.”

Li Lu Xi was a little unhappy, but lay obediently in Li Su’s arms and looked at Li Yi Cheng pitifully.

Li Yi Cheng smiled.
“Mother, it’s okay to hold her.”

“Don’t treat your body so casually.
You are still young and can recover well, but when you reach a certain age, you will regret it.
Hurry up and drink the medicine.
Don’t read books tonight.
Take a break and go to sleep early.
It’s not too late to work hard after you recover,” said Li Su.

“I know, mother.
Don’t worry,” Li Yi Cheng said with a smile.

Li Su rolled her eyes and took Li Lu Xi away.
“Let’s go, Lu Xi.
Let your mother read a story to you.”

Li Yi Cheng suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, mother, your son showed foster father the Three Character Classic with pictures that you compiled for Lu Xi.
He thought it was very interesting and contacted the bookstore.
The bookstore thought it was good and is willing to pay fifty silver liang for printing and publishing.
If more books are sold in the future, then they will give mother a silver liang for every one hundred copies.”

Li Su was sullen.
Damn it! This old woman originally planned to make money by writing a storybook.
But, she hadn’t written anything yet.
Instead, this pictorial version of the Three Character Classic had made money.
Really!

“I see.
The rest of the manuscripts are in the room.
You can take it,” Li Su said blankly.

Li Yi Cheng thought that Li Su was still angry and didn’t dare to speak.
He drank his medicine silently then went back to his room.

That night, Li Su saw that the light in Li Yi Cheng’s room was still on.
She couldn’t help but knock on his door.
She planned to have a good talk with her son, but when she saw his tired face and bright eyes, she didn’t know what to say.

She had always lived as a bystander.
She wasn’t keen on revenge and didn’t care about much.
She was more concerned about how to complete her task and how to change Li Yi Cheng’s original fate.

But she seemed to have neglected Li Yi Cheng’s feelings.
Lu Wen Da abandoned his wife and kids to marry someone else, which has caused a lot of harm to Li Yi Cheng.
Li Yi Cheng worked so hard to prove the meaning of his existence and to make Lu Wen Da regret it.
As a bystander, was she qualified to accuse him of not cherishing his body?

I couldn’t remember what the EN equivalent was.
