During the years when Fang was in poor health, she not only raised Sanlang, but also took care of Jinniang.
In the end, in Jinniang's heart, she was just an outsider! Su Yu Niang smiled coldly: "You are really my sister!"
"What's wrong, you two?" Fang came over from the kitchen and noticed that the atmosphere between the two sisters seemed a little off. "You two are so old, why are you still quarreling? We have guests at home!"
Su Yu Niang returned to the house coldly.
Su Jinniang also went into her room in a huff.
Fang frowned: "These two children!"
…
Feng Guaizi's injuries were more serious than expected. All the bumps and bruises along the way were just superficial injuries. They looked serious, but in fact, no bones were broken. The main injury was the leg that was bitten by the big beast.
After the doctor's careful treatment, not only did there be no improvement, but the area became red and swollen, and the patient remained in a daze.
If this continues, Feng Guaizi's leg might be in danger.
Zheng Lanxiu didn't dare to stay in the old Su's house any longer, so she took Feng Guaizi back to Qianshui Village and asked someone to go to Rong'en Hall to invite a more capable doctor.
Su Xiaoxiao has been recuperating at home for two days. She has completely recovered her energy and can go back to setting up the stall tomorrow! "Sister, are you really okay?" Su Ergou asked.
"What? You don't want to set up a stall?"
"I do, but your health is the most important. I can wait for a few days."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his head amusedly: "Yeah, it's really hard for our hardworking Ergou."
The three little ones were brushing the foal's fur in the backyard. When they saw Uncle Ergou's head being rubbed, they all left the foal and ran over, sticking their little heads in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
They wanted to have their heads patted, too! "Ha!" Su Xiaoxiao was successfully amused, and she patted the heads of all the little tigers.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Su's home?"
There was an acquaintance outside the door.
Three little kids ran over.
Shopkeeper Sun stood outside the half-open door, hesitating whether to knock, when he saw three round little heads sticking out.
The big tiger's is at the top and the small tiger's is at the bottom.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the three identical, cute little faces and suddenly suffered from face blindness!
"Who are you?" Dahu asked vigilantly.
A strange face, never seen in the village.
“I…ah…”
"What do you want to see mother for?" Erhu looked her up and down.
"Is he a bad guy? Bad guys don't come in!" Xiaohu said seriously.
Shopkeeper Sun was completely stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Big Tiger, Second Tiger, Little Tiger, Shopkeeper Sun is the guest."
The three of them nodded sensibly: "Oh."
The three kids worked together to force open the half-closed wooden door and said politely, "Come in."
Shopkeeper Sun walked in with his hands and feet together.
He came in, but his eyes were still glued to the three little guys.
There's nothing I can do. I've lived for decades, and this is the first time I've seen such a cute child.
"Triplets?" he asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao motioned for him to sit down: "Yes."
Shopkeeper Sun sat down in a daze, looked at the little kid who was circling around Su Xiaoxiao, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, my son."
Shopkeeper Sun: “???”
Su Xiaoxiao was doing business outside, and she had always used the identity of Miss Su, so Manager Sun thought she was an unmarried woman. Who would have thought that she already had three children? Why was he so unconvinced?
"Mom, it's hot." Xiaohu grabbed his collar.
Su Xiaoxiao touched his back and found that he was indeed sweating. She picked up a dry piece of cloth draped over the back of the chair and placed it on his back.
Shopkeeper Sun remained completely silent.
"Let's go and have fun." Su Xiaoxiao said to the three of them.
The three of them continued to brush the foal's fur.
Su Ergou went to the kitchen and brought a pot of hot water. Su Xiaoxiao made some tea and poured a cup for Shopkeeper Sun. He got straight to the point and asked, "Any business?"
She paid off the gambling debt for Manager Sun. Before he could collect enough money from Su Xiaoxiao, Manager Sun had to "sell himself to pay off the debt."
Of course, despite his fat body, his abilities are still useful.
Speaking of business, Shopkeeper Sun temporarily put aside his curiosity about Su Xiaoxiao.
He said, "I have been to many places these days and indeed got a good order from a family that also makes banquet noodles and dim sum. The family is not worse than the Qi family, but it is a little far away, in the capital."
"The provincial capital?" Su Xiaoxiao murmured.
"That's right." Shopkeeper Sun nodded.
Su Ergou said, "It will take about ten days or half a month to get to the capital. Our snacks will go bad if we transport them there!"
Shopkeeper Sun said, "Ah, it won't take that long. We can take a carriage and set out at dawn. We'll arrive the next day at the latest. The ten days or half a month you mentioned means walking, right?"
Shen Chuan also said that if we rode fast, we could reach the provincial capital in one day.
Shopkeeper Sun continued, "But Brother Su is right to worry. Dim sum is not fresh if it is left out for too long. If we prepare it and send it over, it will have to be overnight. Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference, but the guests at the banquet are all full of delicacies from land and sea, so they can tell the difference."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "So what you mean is——"
Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile, "If you want to take this order, we have to go to the city to make it. The price will definitely satisfy you, higher than the Qi family's. I wonder... whether you are willing to make this long journey."
Ordinary girls never go out of the house. She had to do business on the street to make a living, but the town was not far away after all, and going to the provincial capital was really a long journey.
From Manager Sun's perspective, he naturally hoped that Su Xiaoxiao would agree. If she earned more money, he would get dividends and could pay her back sooner.
But he would not force Su Xiaoxiao, and her wishes would be the most important thing.
"If you can't make up your mind, it won't hurt to think about it overnight. That lady is a guest of the Qi family. She tasted the snacks you made at Madam Qi's birthday banquet and was very satisfied. She will leave for the capital tomorrow. I will come again tomorrow morning."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "No need, I'll go."
Shopkeeper Sun was stunned and said, "Are you really not going to consider it again?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "What is there to consider? I have never been out of Xinghua Town since I was a child. I can make money and visit the capital at the same time, so why not?"
If she had more money than she needed, she would like to visit the capital!
"Ah..." Shopkeeper Sun was not particularly surprised.
It was as if he had subconsciously determined that she was not an ordinary woman, who was daring, daring to take risks, and not afraid of storms.
It’s a pity that she is not a man, otherwise she would have achieved some amazing success.
After Old Man Su and Wei Ting came back from the Li family's land, Su Xiaoxiao told them about going to the provincial capital to do business.
"Do you really want to go?" asked Old Man Su.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
A mother worries when her son is away from home... Well, the father worries too, but he respects his daughter's opinion.
He would grow old one day and would not be able to accompany them for the rest of their lives. He could not expect them to fly on their own while clipping their wings.
"Is it just you and Ergou?" asked Old Man Su.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Shopkeeper Sun will go too. He is familiar with the city."
Father Su thought for a moment and said, "Take Liu Ping with you."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "No need, Dad. Liu Ping has something to do at home."
Business in the town has been quiet for two days. If it continues to be quiet, it will be ruined.
Old Man Su originally planned to say, "Bring someone with you for self-defense," but when he thought that Liu Ping was no match for his daughter and Er Gouzi, he swallowed his words back.
"When do you leave?"
