"Why return perfectly good pastries? If you won't eat them, I will. I'm still hungry..."
Hearing Su Xiaoning's complaints, Su Qingcai was speechless. In a fit of pique, he brought the plate of pastries to the bedside and said, "Since you like what she made, then eat more!"
"Just eat, you're so strange..." Su Xiaoning looked at Su Qingcai with a strange expression, but actually picked up the plate and started eating.
After eating a few pastries, Su Xiaoning couldn't help but exclaim, "These pastries are truly delicious, and the warmth and love they contain are also commendable!"
"You're actually getting all worked up about eating a pastry?" Su Qingcai chuckled, saying nothing more.
It seems that Su Xiaoning doesn't remember what happened last night, so there's no need for him to bring it up with her and cause her unnecessary trouble.
The servant overheard Su Xiaoning's comments and, after leaving, relayed them to Ruxing.
Ru Xing originally wanted to salvage her image in front of Su Qingcai, but after hearing Su Xiaoning say the word "love," her heart warmed and her face flushed slightly.
She wasn't angry that Su Xiaoning ate the pastries; instead, a strange sweetness welled up inside her.
...
Su Xiaoning spent two days playing in Qinghe Town without any psychological burden. She remained inactive, but the women in the village couldn't wait any longer.
The women had only followed Su Xiaoning out of spite, and now that they had been away for so long, they were starting to miss their children and husbands at home. Thinking of the happy times they used to have at home, each of them began to regret their impulsive actions to some extent.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Su Xiaoning didn't say a word and led the women back to Carp Village ahead of schedule.
As she expected, as soon as the women returned to Carp Village, the men who had looked dejected immediately surrounded them, each with an expression of regret on their face.
"Ahua, I'm so sorry. I'm just a rough guy, how would I know anything about housework? I only realized how difficult it was when I started doing it myself. I was wrong before, I shouldn't have said bad things about you."
Uncle Qingshan stepped forward first and took Aunt Xu's hands in his. The other men also came over and found their wives to pour out their hearts to each other.
It turned out that after the women left, the men had no one to manage the household affairs, and these rough men made a mess of the house, earning constant complaints from the children. Only then did they realize the importance of women.
This is Su Xiaoning's goal: to make the men and women of Carp Village realize their importance to each other and get along well.
The villagers reconciled, and the old village chief stood not far from them. His face showed both surprise and anger, but he did not step forward to stop them.
Previously, it was always the women of Carp Village who took turns caring for him when he fell ill. Now that the women have left, the men, although they want to take care of him, can't seem to manage it well, and they're always in a flurry of activity.
The old village chief then realized that since he had received favors from others, he shouldn't have made such nonsense about women bringing disaster to the village.
As for Su Xiaoning, as long as she doesn't do anything to harm the village, let her be for now.
The old village chief sighed and left silently.
Carp Village has returned to its former atmosphere. Now, men and women have a division of labor: men go out to sea to fish, while women stay home to make handicrafts. The village is more prosperous, and many new houses have been built. There are even rumors that the feng shui here is excellent, attracting many tourists.
One day, a traveler appeared in Carp Village and went straight to Su Xiaoning's house.
