Su Xiaonuan put her things away and also pushed the bicycle into another room. Such valuable items could not be left in the yard; it wouldn't be worth it if someone stole them. It cost two hundred yuan. With this bicycle, it would be much more convenient to go to and from town.
Afterwards, he went into the kitchen and cooked three bowls of shredded pork noodles for the mother and her two children.
Lan Yin was so tempted that she started drooling along with everyone else.
Xiao Moxi even regretted separating from Su Xiaonuan; otherwise, she would have enjoyed a life of luxury with them.
Lan Yin swallowed hard. "Brother Moran, it's getting dark. Can you walk me home?"
"good."
As soon as they left the hospital, Lan Yin started causing trouble. "Brother Moran, your wife is really capable. In our whole village, only the village chief has a bicycle, and that was bought with public funds. No private individual can afford such an expensive thing. There's something fishy about how she got the money. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything illegal or disorderly, or it will implicate your whole family."
"Okay." Xiao Moran nodded. "I'll find out."
......
the next day.
Su Xiaonuan rode her bicycle with her two adorable and handsome sons on the back. The three of them were dressed in a very fashionable way, completely out of place in the village, and were almost watched by the entire village.
"Women, it seems, can get rich by turning bad."
"City women are so open-minded!"
"Mo Ran, look how capable your wife is, managing to get three bright green hats for the whole family. Why don't you ask your wife to give you one of those green hats too?" Wang Xiaobao teased.
"Get out of my way!" Xiao Moran shoved Wang Xiaobao, who had come close to him, away and strode after him.
He couldn't catch up with Su Xiaonuan's bicycle even if he ran.
Along the way, everyone stared at Su Xiaonuan and her two children.
Xiao Moran went to town and, after asking around, found out which restaurant his son had mentioned.
There's only one upscale restaurant in the town. Longxing Town is located on a major transportation route, with a lot of vehicles coming and going. Almost all of them eat at Xingwang Restaurant. People from government agencies in the town also hold banquets here. Xingwang Restaurant is the only restaurant in the whole town that has the financial means.
When Xiao Moran arrived at Xingwang Restaurant, he saw Dou Dou and Guo Guo playing with the young waiters. After walking around the restaurant, he noticed people going in and out through the back door. He mingled with them and entered the kitchen. Sure enough, Su Xiaonuan was inside, pointing and gesturing at three people dressed as chefs.
This woman was actually teaching them how to cook. After they finished cooking, she would taste the dish first. If she nodded, it meant the dish was acceptable. If she didn't nod, the chef would have to cook it again.
"Su Xiaonuan never cooked before, how come she's suddenly become so good at it?" Xiao Moran came out of the back door, wondering to himself.
Two men walked towards us, discussing Su Xiaonuan.
"I didn't expect that this young woman surnamed Su would be so capable. The dishes she made yesterday brought back a lot of repeat customers to the restaurant."
"The proprietress is indeed a seasoned veteran. She paid five hundred yuan to buy the recipes for ten dishes from that woman. These dishes might become our restaurant's signature dishes, and they will definitely attract customers from all over the world in the future."
......
Xiao Moran understood: Su Xiaonuan had the money to buy a bicycle and so many other things because she sold the recipes for ten dishes to Xingwang Restaurant.
When he came to the front of the restaurant, he went in and called out, "Dou Dou, Guo Guo."
"Dad!" The two children ran towards him.
"Go back with Dad."
"We're not going back." They turned and ran towards the kitchen.
Su Xiaonuan led them out.
Xiao Moran walked over without looking to either side. "You're so busy, let me take them back. There are too many people here, and they could easily be kidnapped by human traffickers."
"Isn't that exactly what you want? Without any constraints, aren't you more free?"
He stepped forward, looking down at Su Xiaonuan. "These must be what you really think, right?"
An imposing figure appeared before her, looking up at him with a mocking expression. "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. I'm their mother. Although I used to beat them often, from now on, I will treat them well."
After saying that, she gave him a seductive wink.
The man, who had just been all fatherly love, was instantly enraged by Su Xiaonuan's flirtatious wink. His face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he turned and walked away without looking back, cursing inwardly, "You damn woman, can't you be serious for once?" Besides, all the men in the village had enjoyed such flirtatious glances, and he was so angry he felt a pang of heartache.
"Alright, you can stay with Mom now." Su Xiaonuan was deliberately trying to provoke the man.
However, watching his tall figure storm out of the restaurant, she felt quite relieved.
Xiao Moran walked along the road, kicking up pebbles as he cursed inwardly, "Su Xiaonuan, you really are a leopard that can't change its spots. You never forget your seductive tricks."
Suddenly, a jeep stopped in front of him. The window rolled down, and Jiang Yi teased, "Are you that free? Running onto the road to kick pebbles? Isn't it the busy farming season right now?"
"What's it to you?" Xiao Moran roared sarcastically. He had no good feelings towards Jiang Yi. The woman he loved had fallen in love with this Jiang guy, and the woman he married was determined to force him to divorce her, all for Jiang Yi's sake.
"Xiao Moran, I haven't offended you, why are you taking it out on me?"
"Who gave you the right to provoke me?"
"I'm not trying to provoke you, I just want you to get in the car. Aren't you going back the way you came?"
Xiao Moran didn't stand on ceremony, opened the car door and got in, quickly subduing the other person. "I was just about to settle accounts with you. Tell me, did you bully Lan Yin?"
"She told you I bullied her?"
“She didn’t say it, but I can tell. I’m warning you, if you dare to treat Lan Yin badly, I won’t let you off the hook.”
"So, are you good to Xiao Nuan?" Jiang Yi looked at him with a half-smile. "That's what I should be saying to you. Back then, knowing that Xiao Nuan was my girlfriend, you still did that kind of thing. I'm already being lenient by not holding you accountable, and you still want to cause me trouble? Does that make any sense?"
“Jiang Yi, I’ve said it before, it wasn’t my idea to do that, it was that woman Su Xiaonuan who seduced me.”
"I think you're just being hypocritical after getting the benefit. Talking to your own wife like that, don't you deserve a beating?"
"You're the one who deserves a beating." Xiao Moran raised his fist and shook it, then let go, opened the car door and jumped out. He wouldn't walk rather than ride in this guy's car.
"You really won't take my car back?"
"I won't sit."
After Jiang Yi drove off, Xiao Moran kicked him and said, "Hmph, what are you so smug about! It's not like you're so capable or lucky to be born into a family with powerful backers. If you leave your family, do you think you can compete with me?"
On his way back to the village, he saw a lot of people surrounding Jiang Yi's jeep. He tried to quietly walk around them, but Lan Yin, who was sitting in the car, opened the window and called out, "Brother Moran, are you coming back from town?"
"Hmm." Xiao Moran glanced at Jiang Yi next to her with displeasure, then strode away.
Lan Yin was secretly delighted, thinking that Xiao Moran had caught Su Xiaonuan doing something wrong again in town, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry and annoyed.
