On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
Lu Si'an laughed at them from the side.
"Shame on you—"
Su Yueya laughed so hard her shoulders were shaking. These girls, every day they'd cause so many laughs because of their jealousy and rivalry.
Today's shopping spree was quite fruitful. When they left, the two Qiao brothers were not only carrying their two children, but also had many bags and packages of their spoils hanging on their arms.
"It's still the easiest way to go shopping with them; at least we have someone to do the hard work," Qiao Xinruo sighed.
Little did Su Yueya know, Su Yueya replied, "Then why don't you find a boyfriend soon? Then you'll have free labor at your beck and call anytime, right?"
Qiao Xinruo immediately gave her a look that said, "Don't joke around," and waved her hand in refusal.
"Forget it then. I'm not going to sell myself to my boyfriend for free labor. I'd rather scheme against them!" Qiao Xinru raised her eyebrows smugly, her little plan was quite shrewd.
“You…” Su Yueya shook her head helplessly, unable to help but think of Zhou Jinglan, who still had feelings for Qiao Xinruo.
She wondered when that person would be "ready" to actually appear in front of Qiao Xinruo.
The family headed home.
On my way home, I saw vendors selling small animals by the roadside, including kittens and puppies.
The adults didn't seem to notice anything, but the two little ones were completely mesmerized, unable to look away.
"Kitty! Kitty!" Lu Si'an excitedly pointed in the direction of the small vendors, wriggling in her uncle's arms.
"Kitten!" Lu Siyuan was also very excited, clearly wanting to go over there to see it up close.
Since we're taking the kids out, their opinions should be the priority.
"Let's go take a look," Su Yueya said.
It's perfectly normal for little ones to be curious about everything and to be drawn to cute animals.
"Get down," the two little ones said in unison, giving their uncle the order.
It seems the kitten is upset about being held too high and not being able to get a close look at it.
With no other option, Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang had to put the children down. As soon as they landed, the two little ones squatted down in front of the kitten, staring at it curiously.
"So cute!" Lu Si'an said, reaching out her finger to touch the kitten, but afraid of hurting it, she didn't dare to actually touch it completely.
"It's so small!" Lu Siyuan said. It seemed even smaller than the plush toy his grandfather bought him. He looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, will kittens grow up? Like me and An'an, growing up all at once?"
Su Yueya was amused by Lu Siyuan's description, nodded, and said, "Of course they will. They are just newborn kittens now. After a while, they will grow a bit bigger."
"I want to watch the kitten grow up!" Lu Si'an suddenly said, pointing to her favorite kitten and pleading, "Mommy, can An'an keep it?"
The little guy blinked his big, bright eyes, pouted, and deliberately acted cute for Su Yueya.
Before Su Yueya could even nod in agreement, her two uncles couldn't stand it anymore.
“Let her keep it. An’an just wants to keep a kitten. It’s not an unreasonable request. Why can’t we let her keep it?” Qiao Gaoyang said, and immediately decided to buy the kitten.
“Exactly, An’an is still a child, let her raise her!” Qiao Shouyan turned to Lu Siyuan and asked, “Xiao Yuan, do you want to pick one too?”
Since I've already bought them, it's like buying clothes and toys—two of each.
Su Yueya: "..."
They're spoiling her rotten.
“One is enough. An’an and I will raise it together.” Lu Siyuan did not choose another kitten, but instead chose to raise it with his sister.
"Okay, let's do it together!" Lu Si'an was especially happy, jumped up, and kept shaking her brother's hand.
Great news, she has a kitten now!
"Boss, how much is this cat?" Su Yueya asked, still intending to buy one for her child.
If they can really take good care of the kitten, it would be a good way to cultivate their sense of responsibility and ability.
"These are all kittens born to my own mother cat. I'm not doing this to make money, so please give me a dollar," the vendor said. He wasn't actually a vendor; his cat had recently given birth to kittens, and he simply couldn't care for so many, so he came up with this idea.
The reason for choosing to sell is not to give it away, but to filter out those who don't truly love cats, who would be irresponsible after taking them home, and who would abandon them at will.
This family didn't seem like the kind of people who lacked manners, so he felt at ease selling the kitten, and he managed to find a good, reliable home for it.
"Okay." Su Yueya didn't haggle and gave the other party a dollar, intending to take the kitten away.
"Yay! There's a kitten! An'an has a kitten!" Lu Si'an was so happy she felt like she was flying. Only when she knew the kitten belonged to her did she dare to actually reach out and touch the kitten's head.
"Wow—" She touched it, then quickly withdrew her hand, exclaiming in surprise, "It's so soft! The kitten's head is so fluffy!"
Qiao Xinruo was completely captivated by Lu Si'an's adorable appearance.
"Our An'an is just too, too, too cute!" She grabbed Su Yueya's arm and shook it repeatedly, clearly captivated.
“Kittens are the cutest!” Lu Si’an said, tilting her head.
"An'an, let's name the kitten," Lu Siyuan suggested.
Now that you've bought a kitten, you can certainly give it a new name. Every kitten should have its own name.
"Hmm...let me think..." Lu Si'an poked her chin with her finger, thinking very seriously.
The whole family just watched Lu Si'an, letting her think it over slowly.
Just then, another family arrived at the vendor's stall, but they weren't there for the kittens and puppies; instead—
A few minutes ago, Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai took Liu Shengrui out.
From afar, Liu Shengrui spotted Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an crouching on the ground, staring at the kitten. He remembered them!
So Liu Shengrui went straight to them.
"Xiao Rui, slow down!" Mo Youyou was very worried about her son's sudden acceleration, so she quickly pulled her husband along to chase after him.
It was only then that Mo Youyou noticed that Su Yueya and her siblings were in the direction her son had rushed towards.
Mo Youyou's face immediately turned ugly, and she subconsciously tried to stop her son.
"Xiao Rui, stop—"
However, Liu Shengrui couldn't hear Mo Youyou's words at all, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. All he wanted to do now was rush to Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an's side and play with them.
That's why we're in this situation now.
When Liu Shengrui excitedly ran over, he immediately reached out to grab Lu Si'an's hand.
Lu Siyuan was thinking when he suddenly noticed a hand reaching out. He instinctively tried to dodge, and then he saw Liu Shengrui's face.
