Shopkeeper Sun said again: "Nothing, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

He was beaten up by the people in the gambling house yesterday and was still injured. In order not to leave a bad impression on the Qi family and thus affect Su Xiaoxiao's business, he forced himself to endure the pain all over his body and pretended that nothing had happened.

Looking at his staggering back, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Hey, how much debt do you owe?"

…

It was already evening when Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou returned to the village.

The three little ones had been waiting eagerly at the entrance of the village, flapping their little arms in unison and looking towards the village road.

Finally seeing the familiar little fat figure, the three of them couldn't wait any longer and rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao.

Considering that they might come back late today, Su Xiaoxiao greeted them in advance last night.

The three of them didn't cry, but they missed their mother's scent very much.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, and the three men squeezed into her arms, breathing in her scent that made them feel at ease.

"Mom, Dahu misses you so much."

"Erhu wants to, too."

"Little Axe wants it the most!"

Perhaps because they communicated more with their friends in the village, the three little guys spoke more fluently than before, and could occasionally utter a complete sentence in one breath.

Su Xiaoxiao is always surprised from the bottom of her heart for every step of their growth and change.

It's really a unique experience.

They haven't grown much in height, and they still look like little carrots.

"Look, what did mother bring you?" Su Xiaoxiao took out three strings of shiny and red things like a magic trick.

Xiaohu opened his hands: "Wow! Sugar gourd!"

Even though they had said hello, they would still be sad. Su Xiaoxiao had never raised a child, but there were some things they shared.

The three little ones happily took the candied haws.

"Mom, eat it." The three of them handed the candied haws to her.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her chubby hands and said, "Mom wants to lose weight, so she won't eat it. You guys give it to Uncle Ergou."

The three of them started playing rock-paper-scissors.

——Naturally, I learned it from the children in the village.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand why they suddenly wanted to play rock-paper-scissors.

Xiaohu lost.

Xiaohu sighed, and resigned himself to passing the candied haws to Su Ergou, his face serious: "One!"

Su Ergou: “…” ——Wei Ting is also here.

He sat on a stone under a big tree at the entrance of the village.

She was wearing a coarse linen shirt and her black hair was tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin worth only a copper coin.

Although he was wearing a poor, rustic outfit, he looked like a hermit or some otherworldly being.

He stared quietly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and seemed to be shrouded in a faint sadness and melancholy.

"Wei Ting!"

Su Xiaoxiao called him.

Wei Ting gathered his thoughts, and Kong Yuan's eyes changed, returning to their usual inhuman and cold attitude.

He turned his head and looked towards Su Xiaoxiao.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her and the children, and the picture seemed to be frozen.

Smoke from the village rose up, and she walked towards him who had already fallen into the hell of endless suffering, with a worldly air about her.

"Wei Ting, you're waiting for me too?" She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and smiled at him, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Wei Ting turned his eyes away and looked at the three little ones playing with Su Ergou: "Da Hu and the others are coming."

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, looking unconvinced.

"Let's go back." He stood up expressionlessly and walked towards Xiao Su's house with his crutches.

Su Xiaoxiao followed closely.

The three little ones and Su Ergou ran to the front madly, and the whole village was filled with their giggles.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed maturely: "Children are so energetic! After a day, I am about to collapse, but Ergou can still climb up the roof and tear off the tiles!"

"Aren't you a child too?"

"Bigger than you."

"Of course I know you are older than me. You already have three children!"

Wei Ting didn't say anything.

Since age was mentioned, Su Xiaoxiao asked casually: "Wei Ting, when was your birthday?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Why are you asking this?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Just ask. My birthday is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and my father and Ergou's birthdays are the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, which is the end of this month, and it's almost here. What's your birthday?"

Wei Ting still didn't answer.

Su Xiaoxiao pouted: "They say a woman's age is a secret, but it's the other way around when it comes to you. Okay, I won't ask you anymore. Can Da Hu and the others tell me?"

Wei Ting said: "June 1st."

Su Xiaoxiao was startled: "June 1st?"

Children's Day? No, Children's Day is on the Gregorian calendar, while the three little ones' birthdays are on the lunar calendar.

The two of them were talking and before they knew it they had arrived home.

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged: "I thought this road was quite long at first, but now it's over in a short while."

Wei Ting seemed to sense something and his eyes moved, but he did not speak.

Old Man Su worked in the fields with Aunt Qian for an entire afternoon and was so tired that he became autistic. He is now catching up on his sleep in the house.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't wake him up and closed his door gently.

Then she returned to her room, sat down on a stool, untied the purse from her waist, and poured out the few copper coins inside.

I earned thirty taels today, including the twenty taels of medical fee that Xiang Chonghua gave me before, and the ten taels I earned from snacks and braised meat in the past few days, which adds up to a total of sixty taels.

But there are only a few copper coins left.

He also said that he could return Su Yu Niang's money.

All spent!

Woohoo! It hurts so much!

Crunch——

The door opened.

Su Xiaoxiao sat up straight in an instant and turned back into the arrogant little fat peacock.

Wei Ting walked over with a calm expression and glanced at the copper coins on the table and the IOU in her hand.

The IOU was written by Shopkeeper Sun.

Before going out today, Su Xiaoxiao proudly told Wei Ting that she was going to make a lot of money, and ended up earning an IOU.

In order to avoid being ridiculed, she calmly put away the IOU and said, "I deposited the money in the bank! It's a huge sum!"

I thought Wei Ting would say, oh, really? Where is the evidence?

But Wei Ting didn't say a word and just put a purse on her desk.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "What?"

“I picked it up.”

Wei Ting said.

The answer is not relevant to the question.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her purse: "Wow!"

Two white silver ingots! Two silver notes with a face value of fifty taels! I'm rich! I'm rich! Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining green: "Wei Ting, is this the household allowance you gave me?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "I already said I picked it up."

The man in black, whose pants were searched, said: Can you make up a more plausible story?

"Hey!"

There is more start-up capital! Su Xiaoxiao happily put away the money bag, "Wei Ting, you are quite rich!"

Ever since she last met Jing Yi and his men on the official road, she has never been there again.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ting dug out the treasure himself! How could she know that Wei Ting did not dig it out, but extorted it.

It’s the last day for double monthly tickets, how about voting for the three little brain axes?
