"What a tragic fate!" Zhang Yulan sighed. "If only it were Lan Yin back then. Why did you do such a thing? Ever since you married this woman, she has disgraced our Xiao family. How can I face your father in the afterlife?"
"Mom, it was Su Xiaonuan who gave me alcohol, which is why I did that kind of thing with her. She sent it under Lan Yin's name. Lan Yin was supposed to meet me there, but I ended up seeing her instead..."
Su Xiaonuan's doubts were resolved. She had always suspected that there was something wrong with the wine, but she had no evidence.
The original owner was tricked into going to the back mountain by Lan Yin, and Xiao Moran was also tricked into going to the back mountain by Lan Yin.
Neither of them saw the person they loved, so they were naturally in a bad mood. Since they had some wine, they decided to drown their sorrows in it.
Back then, Lan Yin came to the original owner with a pot of wine, saying that she had an urgent matter and did not have time to deliver it to Jiang Yi, who was reading in the back mountain. She also said that she had specially asked Aunt Hua for this precious medicinal wine to treat Jiang Yi's injuries. At that time, Jiang Yi had broken his leg and was recuperating.
The original owner was such a pig-headed person. At that time, Lan Yin and Jiang Yi were already very close. They read and wrote together every day. Yet, the original owner still believed that green tea bitch Lan Yin's words and believed that Jiang Yi was just tutoring Lan Yin.
After it was delivered, the original owner discovered that the person there was not Jiang Yi, but Xiao Moran.
Xiao Moran saw that the person who appeared was Su Xiaonuan, not Lan Yin.
Both were unwilling to give up and vowed to wait for their beloved to appear. In the end, they drank the pot of medicinal wine one sip at a time and then they started rolling around on the grass in the back mountain.
Lan Yin, one day I will tear off your disguise. Su Xiaonuan clenched her fists and vowed to avenge the original owner of this body.
After finishing her work, Su Xiaonuan boiled a tub of hot water and took a bath. She changed into a clean set of clothes, which were a bit too big. In her previous life, when she was a policewoman, she was used to tucking her shirt into her pants. She also didn't braid her long hair but tied it into a bun at the back of her head, which made her look capable and dashing.
"Wow, she really looks good with this makeover!" Xiao Moxi exclaimed, her eyes wide. "She's much more pleasing to the eye than her previous glamorous and seductive self."
"This woman, all she thinks about is how to dress up and seduce men. Look, she's probably going out to attract attention again." Xiao Moran wished he could grab one of his own clothes to cover her curvaceous body.
“Xiao Nuan is indeed very beautiful, but her character is flawed.” Zhang Yulan shook her head. “If her character were as good as her looks, then our Xiao family would be blessed. For a woman, the most important thing is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, no matter how beautiful she is, she’s just a rag.”
"Let's see how long she can hold out. Taking care of the children and farming at the same time, I don't believe she has three heads and six arms. When she comes begging us, we'll take Dou Dou and Guo Guo back to our side and leave her all alone." Xiao Moxi played with the beautiful silk scarf that Lan Yin had given her, liking it more and more as she looked at it. She thought to herself, "If only Sister Lan Yin could become my sister-in-law."
Su Xiaonuan, acting as an undercover agent, overheard everything they said. If she weren't truly capable, she would have died dozens of times over after surviving so many dangerous situations. Her reputation as an all-around policewoman is well-deserved.
This time, if it weren't for the sudden change in weather, she wouldn't have fallen off the cliff. Even in her dying moments, she fulfilled her mission, allowing her colleagues to capture the drug dealer.
"Mom, do you have a straw hat?" Su Xiaonuan came out with a big smile.
“No,” Xiao Moxi chimed in. “If there are any, they belong to me and Mom. If you want to wear them, go buy them yourself.”
"Okay." She turned and left the courtyard.
When she returned, she was wearing a beautiful straw hat that looked like a wreath, woven from lotus leaves and willow branches, which looked incredibly cool. She was also carrying two small woven straw hats in her hands.
Zhang Yulan and her two children were stunned.
She smiled at them again, went inside to change the two awakened children into clean clothes, put on the straw hats she had made herself, and walked out holding one child's hand. Her outfit was even more fashionable than those of city people, and she walked out of the courtyard gate with a very stylish look.
Su Xiaonuan took her two children to check on the land they had been allocated, and then took them to town, returning just before evening.
Zhang Yulan and her two children were extremely anxious, believing that Su Xiaonuan had taken the two children and run back to the provincial capital.
"Brother Moran, have your wife and the children returned?" Lan Yin was more worried than anyone else, afraid that Su Xiaonuan had gone back to the provincial capital to find Jiang Yi. She was currently having a cold war with Jiang Yi and was afraid that Su Xiaonuan would take advantage of the situation or rekindle their old flame.
Lan Yin lacked confidence even after getting into university, as Su Xiaonuan was indeed prettier than her.
Jiang Yi was a man she had schemed and plotted to win over, and she absolutely couldn't let Su Xiaonuan take him back.
“They should be back by now. I can hear DouDou and GuoGuo laughing,” MoXi said.
"She still knows how to come back?" Zhang Yulan sneered. "Stay calm and see what tricks this woman is up to."
When they saw Su Xiaonuan return on a brand-new bicycle, Zhang Yulan, who had just said she would remain calm, was the first to lose her composure, her hands trembling. "You, you shameless woman, did you use your body to exchange for this bicycle again?"
"Not just bicycles, but also all this food." Su Xiaonuan was too lazy to explain. She just wanted to see them angry. She deliberately patted the ingredients in the basket and took out a piece of cured meat, ten eggs, and a piece of fresh meat for them, saying they were birthday ingredients for her mother-in-law.
“I’d rather starve to death than eat this filthy stuff of yours,” Zhang Yulan ordered her daughter. “Throw it out.”
"Mom, don't get upset about these things. It's such a waste to throw them away. Keep them. It's your 60th birthday the day after tomorrow. Keep them to entertain guests." Xiao Moxi didn't think these things were dirty. The dirty thing should be Su Xiaonuan.
"Grandma, these things aren't dirty. They were given to us by the old lady at the restaurant, not picked up from the trash," DouDou said in her childish voice. "The old lady also said that as long as Mom goes to their restaurant every day to teach people how to cook, we'll get delicious food every day."
"Is that so?" Zhang Yulan looked at Guoguo.
"Mmm." Guoguo nodded. "Brother wasn't lying. Grandma gave Mom a lot of money. Mom took us to buy lots of food and new clothes. We're going to a restaurant to eat something delicious tomorrow."
"Do you still want these?" Su Xiaonuan glanced at Lan Yin and picked up the bag on the table. "I thought they were dirty, so I took them back to my room and kept them. Then, since it's your birthday the day after tomorrow, you can serve the guests with vegetables and radishes."
"Moxi, let her take it away. I'll prepare the ingredients for Mom's birthday." Xiao Moran had been saving the money he earned after his discharge from the army and hadn't withdrawn it yet.
“You mustn’t touch that money,” Zhang Yulan warned her son.
"Put it down." Xiao Moxi grabbed the bag with both hands.
Su Xiaonuan smiled. "Okay, I don't owe you anything anymore. I'll return all the ingredients I wasted yesterday."
