Su Xiaonuan handed over the 100 yuan reward, plus another 100 yuan, to Xiao Moran, totaling 200 yuan. "Take this. It's safer to carry more money when you're out and about."
"No need, I have money in my savings account, you can keep this for household expenses."
"I'm giving it to you not so you can use it, but so you can have it in case you need it."
"Brother, your wife is just worried about you, please accept this!"
Xiao Moran then carefully put away the money she handed him.
Zhang Yulan was increasingly satisfied with what she saw, feeling that life was getting better and better. She had filial children, a capable daughter-in-law, and two smart and adorable grandsons. She had finally made it through the tough times.
"Where are DouDou and GuoGuo? I haven't seen them in a long time." Xiao Moran looked around.
“They’re having a snack inside,” Mersey said, gesturing towards the house.
"By the way, what do these snacks taste like?" Xiao Moran held back his curiosity to entertain his guest, not daring to try a single one.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" Su Xiaonuan suddenly asked.
"It won't be long, I need to go to the bank to withdraw some money before I leave."
"Then I'll make you extra tomorrow morning so you can take it with you on the road."
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife!"
"Who's your wife?" she glared at and went straight into the house.
"Hehe! Brother, your wife may not admit it, but she still has feelings for you."
"When I'm not home, you should help your mother and sister-in-law with more housework."
Don't worry!
Xiao Moran followed him inside and saw some snacks on the table, so he reached out and started eating.
"Dad, your eating manners are awful!"
"Dad, remember to chew your food slowly!"
His eyes widened, and after swallowing all the food in his mouth, he said, "You brats, do I look that bad when I eat?"
“It looks terrible!” Su Xiaonuan laughed. “Children don’t lie.”
"Hehe, it's all because your food is so delicious! I've been eating corn tortillas since I was a child, how come you can make them so good?"
"It's a soufflé, not a tortilla."
DouDou and GuoGuo corrected him together.
"Okay, okay, it's not a tortilla, it's a soufflé."
"Dad is too stupid, he doesn't even understand this."
"Ignorance is truly terrifying!"
DouDou and GuoGuo frequently utter witty remarks, all of which they learned from their mother.
Xiao Moran's eyes bulged with anger, "You..."
Su Xiaonuan smiled smugly. These two little rascals are really smart; they can remember everything she says.
...
Wang Xiaobao was wandering the street when someone suddenly patted him on the back.
"Wang Xiaobao, what are you doing wandering around like a lost ghost?"
"Lanyin, is that you?" He was stunned for a moment, but when he heard Lanyin's voice, he immediately turned around and took her hands.
Lan Yin disgustedly shook off his hand, "Just talk, don't touch me!"
"I'm just happy, what's wrong with me holding your hand?" Wang Xiaobao said unhappily. "Last time, because of you, I got beaten up so badly, and you haven't given me any compensation yet!"
What do you want?
"If you don't want me to touch you, then you should compensate me with money."
"Here, take this five yuan." Lan Yin took out a banknote and gave it to him.
"Hey Lan Yin, I almost got beaten to death by Xiao Moran because of you. I even vomited a lot of blood. And you're just going to give me five yuan to get rid of me? Do you think I'm a beggar?"
“That’s all for now. My mom needs money for her hospital stay too. I’ll give you more when I have more.” Lan Yin frowned. “My dad said he’d let your brother work as a temporary worker at the mine. If you’re willing to go, that’s fine too. You two don’t need to pay a referral fee.”
"Pshaw, I'm not going to do such a grueling job. It's just coal mining, who cares?"
"You only have one person to feed, but your brother's family of four depends on him for their livelihood. Where else can you find such a good thing as a fixed monthly salary?"
“My brother is my brother, and I am me.” Wang Xiaobao waved his hand. “He’s going to work in the mine with your dad, so let your dad collect the referral fee from him. You can’t shortchange me a single penny of what’s due to me; you have to give it to me.”
"You stingy guy!" Lan Yin muttered. "Okay, I'll pay you back the money I owe you later, is that alright?"
"That's more like it!" Wang Xiaobao stepped closer and whispered. "Your mom said you were in the provincial capital with that guy surnamed Jiang, so why are you back? Did he dump you?"
"You're really something else, you can't expect anything good to come out of your dog mouth!"
"Likewise!" Wang Xiaobao chuckled slyly. "Why don't you go buy another pot of medicinal wine from Aunt Hua? That medicinal wine is so damn effective, it made that vixen Su Xiaonuan have two children in one go."
"Wang Xiaobao." Lan Yin angrily called out his name, word by word.
"Don't be angry! Don't be angry!" Wang Xiaobao said with a smirk. "If you get angry, it'll hurt me."
"Wang Xiaobao, if you keep talking like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Lanyin, I am now your loyal partner. Only I will never betray you. Look at those opportunists in the village. As soon as that bitch Su Xiaonuan gained power, they immediately went to curry favor with her. Only I am wholeheartedly good to you."
"Wang Xiaobao, don't have any improper thoughts about me. I've always paid you for doing things for me. You need to understand, this is a transaction."
"With so little money, you think you can do business?" Wang Xiaobao said, shaking his leg in a sleazy manner. "If it weren't for your good looks, I wouldn't have gotten involved in your mess no matter how much money you offered. To be honest, you're really good at pretending. You've fooled me for so many years."
"Don't push your luck!" Lan Yin said sternly. "You wait, I'll go get the money for you right now. After I give you the money, please show me some respect from now on, otherwise, I really won't be polite to you."
