Another day passed.

It drizzled in the early morning.

Last night, Su Yun saw two red dots on the locator slowly approaching Qingshan Village.

When I came back from practicing today and took another look, I saw that the red dot was already closer to Qingshan Village.

It also intelligently estimates how long it will take to arrive.

[Eight hours, so it only takes four hours for grandpa and grandma to get home.]

Su Yun was so happy that she even ate her meal with extra relish.

At the dinner table, Su Bing and Liu Xia looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

"Wife, give me some copper coins. I will go to Brother Erniu's house to buy some meat later."

"No need. Wait until the rain stops and Guaiguai and I will go together. Don't even think about going out to fool around. Just stay at home and study hard!" Liu Xia put down her bowl and chopsticks and glared at Su Bing.

Su Bing quickly took two mouthfuls of rice and said, "I'm done. I'm going to read a book now!"

Liu Xia was very satisfied with Su Bing's reaction.

Su Yun helped her mother clean up the dishes, and when she had some free time, she remembered that she still had some pregnancy-preserving pills and intelligence-enhancing pills that she had not used.

When she clicked on it, a line of small words appeared.

(Only talismans can be used by silently reciting the name of the person after clicking on them, and pills can only be swallowed!) [001, my mother can take the pregnancy-preserving pills directly, so how do I use these wisdom-enhancing pills?]

[Let your mother take it too. The effect of the Enlightenment Pill will be transferred from the pregnant woman's body to the fetus.]

He took it out from his backpack using his mind and looked worriedly at the three black balls in his hand.

[How can I get my mother to eat this meatball? ]

Liu Xia stopped embroidering the handkerchief, and Su Bing, who was standing next to her, held the book for a long time without turning the page.

【Got it! 】

Su Yun came directly to Liu Xia, "Mom, open your mouth."

Liu Xia did as she was told, and Su Yun quickly fed three pills to her mother.

The pills melt in your mouth and have a hint of sweetness.

Liu Xia pretended not to know, "My dear, what did you give me to eat? It's quite sweet."

"Of course it's a sugar ball. Xiaolin gave it to me." Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

[Luckily it’s sweet, otherwise I don’t know how it would be round. ]

Su Bing was being naughty, "Good boy, Dad wants to eat too!"

"No more~" Su Yun spread out her hands.

Su Bing refused to give in, "My dear, you gave the food to your mother but not to your father. Your father is so sad."

Seeing Su Yun's embarrassment, Liu Xia put down her needle and thread.

"That's enough, you're already grown up! Hurry up and read your book!"

"Crack~"

Just then, the gate was pushed open.

The man shouted in a loud voice.

“Brother Su!”

Without waiting for anyone's response, he strode into the yard.

Wang Mazi shook off the raindrops on his straw raincoat and looked into the chicken coop with a sly look.

When he saw the plump hen inside, he couldn't help but lick his upper lip.

"Brother, why haven't I seen you doing odd jobs at the martial arts gym in town these days?"

He was talking to Su Bing, but his eyes never left the hen.

Wang Mazi lives in the town. His father ran a clothing store in his early years, but after his father passed away, no one took care of him anymore.

Who doesn't have a dream of being a martial arts hero in his youth? Since then, Wang Mazi sold his shop and went to a martial arts school to learn martial arts, and met Su Bing, who also had a dream of being a martial arts hero.

When Su Bing saw Liu Xia's stern face, he was so scared that his hands trembled and the book fell to the ground.

"Bang~"

The muffled sound, neither loud nor soft, attracted Wang Mazi's attention. When he saw the book dropped in the aisle, he seemed to see a traitor.

"Su Bing, I treat you as a brother, and I was worried about why you didn't come to the martial arts hall all day, but you are reading a book at home! Who said that dogs don't study?"

[My dad actually said that dogs don’t study, so what did he study yesterday? ]

Su Yun looked at Su Bing silently.

Su Bing was so embarrassed that he almost died. The slap in the face always came so quickly.

"I'm not going to the martial arts gym anymore. Wang Mazi, go back! Don't come again. We are not on the same path."

Liu Xia said unkindly, "Wang Mazi, if you want to practice martial arts, you can go to the martial arts hall by yourself, don't drag my Su Bing along. My husband is preparing for the Tongsheng exam right now, if you come to disturb him again, don't blame me for being rude."

Didn't we agree to just read books? Su Bing wanted to refute but was stunned by Liu Xia's look and silently changed his words.

"Wang Mazi, my wife is right, you should go back!"

As soon as Wang Mazi left, he would follow quietly behind him.

Su Bing glanced at the sacks and wooden sticks he had prepared behind the gate and smiled strangely.

Wang Mazi was anxious. This wouldn't do. If he didn't take Su Bing to the gambling house in town today, how would he get the five hundred taels of silver?

"Brother Su, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

He walked forward, pulled Su Bing aside and whispered.

"Brother, I know a place where you can make money quickly. You will need a lot of money to study in the future. Do you want to follow me and make some money?"

Su Yun's ears became particularly sharp after learning martial arts, and she heard everything clearly.

[What is coming will eventually come. Wang Mazi is trying to trick my dad into going to the gambling house. No, I can't let my dad go with him this time.]

"Dad~" Su Yun called out weakly, curling up on the rattan chair, holding her stomach.

Although Su Bing knew that Su Yun was pretending, it was obvious from his pale face that he was heartbroken.

"My dear, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Mazi grabbed Su Bing and said, "Brother, you haven't said whether you want to go or not?"

"Go away. Don't you see my daughter is in pain?" Su Bing pushed Wang Mazi away and picked up Su Yun.

Su Yun's hair on both sides was wet with sweat. "Dad, I'm fine. I just have a stomachache. I'll be fine after a rest. Dad, can you stay with me? I want to hear your stories!"

"Okay!" Su Bing searched the story in his mind and began to tell it.

Wang Mazi was not giving up and wanted to say something, but Liu Xia came up and started hitting him with a broom.

"Get lost! I'm going to beat you up every time I see you from now on!"

[Mom, take it easy, you're still pregnant! ]

Su Yun looked at Liu Xia worriedly and didn't bother to pretend to be sick.

Su Bing was so scared that he let go of Su Yun and stood in front of Liu Xia, fearing that Wang Mazi would get angry and attack him.

He shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I, Wang Mazi, treat you, Su Bing, as my brother, but this is how you treat me."

Wang Mazi left angrily after saying this.

Liu Xia pinched the soft flesh on Su Bing's waist, "It's all your fault! What kind of friends are these!"

"Wife, I was wrong!" Su Bing begged for mercy, but he was so angry that he let Wang Mazi go and left with the sack and the stick. "Wife, you stay home and be a good boy."

"Dad, what are you doing~"

It happened in a flash, and Su Yun didn't have time to react.

Su Bing, who had just left the house, came back and replaced the stick with a shovel, "Dad, go beat the dog!"

"What?"

Su Yun couldn't follow her father's train of thought. Why did he suddenly go and beat the dog for no reason?

It's not true that he's afraid of being beaten, but it's true that he wants to slip away.

She jumped off the rattan chair and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liu Xia.

"It's raining, why are you following me? Stop worrying about me, kid. Go back to the house!"

Liu Xia tapped Su Yun on the head, "What's wrong? Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore...it just got better suddenly!" The tips of Su Yun's ears were red.

[My acting is so bad, my mother must have noticed it, I am so embarrassed...]

Liu Xia rubbed Su Yun's hair until it became a mess, and then she stopped with satisfaction.

"Let's go. Mother will teach you embroidery."

"Ah? Oh." Su Yun nodded blankly.

[How come mom and dad's thoughts are jumping so fast? I can't keep up at all...]

Liu Xia had a smile in her eyes. Whether she was obedient or silly, she was the most likable. This was how a child should be.

On the other side, Su Bing took a shortcut and ambushed on the official road to Longde Town.

He lay quietly in the grass that was half a person's height.

Wang Mazi was unaware of the approaching danger and kept cursing as he walked.

"You son of a bitch, you told me to get out of here. One day you'll beg me for mercy."

Thinking about the five hundred taels of silver that he had just obtained being lost, he angrily kicked the big tree next to him.
