Wife, Your Space Exploded!

Su Liu, who had been blown to smithereens, opened her eyes again only to find her husband dead and a son by her side. As a widowed mother and orphan, she suffered endless bullying from her in-laws,...

Chapter 4: Establishing a Household Account

"Grandma Wang, thank you for your advice before, otherwise I would not have thought of a way to leave the Zhu family today." Liu'er thanked Grandma Wang again. Before, Grandma Wang saw that she was bullied so pitifully that she quietly pointed out the way for her to live on her own, but Liu'er was timid at that time and did not have the courage to do it.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Liu'er, hummed, and said nothing.

Liu'er smiled and said nothing more. Everyone in the village knew about Wang Po's cold temper. She was grateful that she was willing to help her and didn't expect her to be kind to her.

The donkey cart bumped along for more than half an hour before arriving at Qingxi Town. Liu'er was penniless and it was Wang Po who paid for the meal, two copper coins. Gou Zi kept holding Liu'er's arms and refused to accept any money.

Mrs. Wang took the mother and son straight to the yamen. After arriving, she found Captain Zhang, who was in charge of the yamen. With just a few words, she had the household registration book ready.

The head of the household in the household registration book is Zhu Daxi. Liu'er added a surname to herself and changed her name to Su Liu'er, and Gou Zi also changed his name to Zhu Hongan.

Su Liuer squatted beside Zhu Hongan and pointed at the name on it. "Zhu Hongan, from now on, you are Zhu Hongan, and your nickname is Anzi. If someone calls you Gouzi again, just pretend you didn't hear it. Remember?"

The little boy couldn't read but he listened to his mother. Whatever his mother said was what he did. He nodded seriously to show that he remembered it.

In the memories left by Su Liuer, this son seemed to have poor language skills. He seldom spoke, and when he did, he only uttered a few words. He only spoke to Su Liuer, so some people in the village called him the little mute.

This is not a problem in Su Liuer's opinion. He just learned to speak late. She can just teach him slowly.

"Hong'an is so good."

Mrs. Wang was moved as she watched the interaction between the mother and son. Her son was only this old when she left him.

Su Liuer stood up, and Wang Po immediately turned around and left. Su Liuer hurriedly took Zhu Hongan's hand and followed.

Mrs. Wang didn't go to the town entrance where she had just gotten off the bus. Su Liu'er didn't ask any more questions. How could someone sell her out after helping her so much? She just followed her obediently!

It was the first time for Su Liuer and Zhu Hongan, both mother and son, to come to the town. Zhu Hongan looked around curiously, and Su Liuer was also observing carefully. She had to support her family, so she had to figure out a way to make money as soon as possible.

"Gurgle... Gurgle..." Untimely sounds came from the mother and child's stomachs, attracting the attention of Mrs. Wang.

Zhu Hongan lowered his head and covered his stomach at a loss. Su Liuer laughed silently. Although she was alive, her stomach was empty and she couldn't help crying out.

"I haven't had lunch yet. There's a noodle stall up front. Let's go and have a bowl of noodles together." Wang Po naturally knew that Su Liu'er had no money, so she said this to treat the two of them to noodles.

"Thank you, Granny Wang!" Su Liuer was not pretentious. Reputation was not as important as face. She would not eat for free and would pay it back in the future.

Mrs. Wang also added fried eggs to the noodles of the two of them, and Su Liuer gave her fried egg to Zhu Hongan.

This was Zhu Hongan’s first time eating eggs, and it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. However, he only took one bite and stopped eating. His small black hands carefully pushed the bowl towards Su Liuer.

"Mom, it smells good." The most delicious things should be given to mom.

Su Liuer blinked. The big eyes of the child in front of her were shining with love for her. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of fried egg, ate it, and put the bowl back.

"Mmm, it smells so good! Hongan, eat more so you can grow up quickly."

In the past, the mother and the child often did not have enough to eat. In order to get the child to eat more, Liu'er told him that eating more would help him grow up quickly, and only when he grew up could he protect her from being bullied by others.

"Hmm!" Zhu Hongan continued eating with big mouthfuls, finishing everything in the bowl.

He has to grow up quickly so that his mother won't be bullied by others!
