Chapter 18 Kiss



This wasn't just the doctor bargaining for two taels of silver. He actually wanted to bargain, but a black-hearted fat guy wouldn't allow it.

He only had three taels of silver on him.

Su Xiaoxiao said that he could go home with her to get it. He whispered, "My mother will beat me if she finds out."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Finally, after repeated negotiations between the two parties, he used a brand new pair of silver needles and some medicinal herbs for treating injuries to offset the price difference.

However, he didn't have two of the medicinal herbs that Su Xiaoxiao needed, so he asked Su Xiaoxiao to go to his pharmacy to pick them up in three days.

"I can get something with two taels of silver, but Rong En Tang actually asked me for five taels! How shady!"

Doctor: “…”

Do you have the nerve to say that others are evil? -- When Su Xiaoxiao went out this morning, she was ready to use all the money she had on hand to buy medicine for Su Laodi. Unexpectedly, she not only did not spend a penny, but also earned three taels.

In this way, she had five taels of silver in her hand.

Su Xiaoxiao took some money and went to the market, where she bought ten pounds each of red beans, mung beans, brown sugar, and glutinous rice flour, and two pounds each of white sesame and black sesame.

The people in her family were big eaters, and the meat they bought last time was obviously not enough, so she went to the meat stall in the market again and ordered ten pounds of ribs, five pounds of pork belly, and five pounds of tenderloin.

"Give me a few more pounds of fat."

Fat can be made into lard. In addition, the lard residue is crispy, oily and very delicious.

"Girl, you bought so much meat, can you finish it?"

The butcher asked curiously.

"There are many people in my family and we can finish it all." Su Xiaoxiao said that not all of it was eaten immediately, for example, the ribs could be used to make bacon.

Country people don't like to eat meat for every meal. It's rare to eat it twice a month. This fat girl looks ordinary, but I didn't expect her to be so generous.

Yes, if I don’t eat so much meat, I won’t get so fat.

He doesn't discriminate against fat people. On the contrary, he thinks being fat is a blessing.

The young butcher was very busy. He did not forget to string the ribs and meat together with rice leaves and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Pork ribs are 20 cents a pound, pork is 13 cents a pound, and fat is 8 cents a pound, a total of 420 cents. I'll charge you 400 cents, and in addition, I'll give you some pig skin."

Although it is called pig skin, it actually contains meat, weighing a full one and a half pounds.

"There are two more kidneys. Do you want any? If you want, I'll give them to you."

"OK."

Take it back and give it to Wei Ting to mend his waist.

It was a small business and there was not much profit margin, so the butcher had already charged a very low price. In return, Su Xiaoxiao took a bowl of her own braised food from the basket and placed it on the stall.

The butcher turned around and saw an extra bowl of braised large intestines. He hurriedly said, "Girl! Your large intestines!"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head nonchalantly: "No, it's your large intestine."

Butcher: “…” ——Su Xiaoxiao continued to stroll in the market with Xiao Douding.

"Huh? There are pickled mustard greens."

It was a small stall selling dried goods. All other dried goods were almost sold out, except for a basket of wilted pickled mustard greens that seemed to have no one interested in buying.

"How much is this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The old woman buying vegetables glanced at her impatiently and said, "Fifty cents, all for you!"

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao bought it readily.

Old woman: “…”

I kind of regret not bidding.

Su Xiaoxiao went to buy some spices again and completed her shopping for today.

She went to the market entrance and found Old Li was still there. The things on the ox cart had been sold out, and little Wu was sitting on it.

She walked over with a smile: "Uncle Li, you haven't gone home yet so late, are you waiting for me here?"

Old Li choked and said seriously, "I, I just want to pick up two more people. I don't want this trip to be in vain."

Xiao Wu didn't say anything.

Just now, three people from the neighboring village wanted to ride in a ox cart, but were rejected by Old Li.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the child onto the oxcart: "I'll give you money for four people!"

She is the work of two; the three little ones count as one, and the purchased goods count as one.

She entered Wei Ting's room and asked, "Where are my father and my brother?"

Wei Ting turned his back to her and said calmly, "I just went out."

"Did you say what you were going to do?"

"No."

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao turned and went to the kitchen to cook.

Wei Ting called her: "Where is my medicine? Why is there only one bottle left? Where did the other bottle go?"

"Sold it." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Wei Ting frowned: "You... who asked you to sell my medicine?"

That is a very precious medicine for wounds! You can’t buy it even if you have money!

Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Please understand your own situation. You eat my food, drink my water, live in my house, and you almost used up my first aid kit. What's wrong with selling you a bottle of golden wound medicine?"

Wei Ting held back coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "Come to think of it, you don't have anything valuable on you except two bottles of medicine. Don't you take money with you when you go out?"

Wei Ting ignored her.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: "You must have silver, right? Where did you hide the silver?"

Wei Ting said coldly: "Haven't you searched me before? If I had hidden the silver, wouldn't you have found it?"

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "So it's hidden somewhere else?"

Wei Ting still had his back to her: "Stop trying to trick me!"

Haha, you are really vigilant.

Su Xiaoxiao was not annoyed. She looked at his broad shoulders and powerful back and said domineeringly, "I've made a note of all your food, clothing, and medicine expenses. If you can't pay it back in the future, you'll have to pay it back with your body!"

Wei Ting: “…”

Until nightfall, Old Man Su and Su Ergou had not returned yet, so Su Xiaoxiao had to make dinner for the three children and Wei Ting, the seriously ill patient.

After dinner, she gave the three little ones a bath.

When she poured the water and returned to her room, the three little ones were there, each holding a small pillow.

Su Xiaoxiao asked tentatively: "What is this...for?"

"Sleep with mother." said Dahu.

Erhu pointed to the next room and said, "Niu Dan, sleep with your mother."

Xiaohu directly hugged Su Xiaoxiao's legs, raised his cute little head, and said in a baby voice: "Xiaofu, sleep with mommy."

Make demands, cite real cases, and use cute tricks——

This is an organized and divided-labor operation to sleep with others!

Su Xiaoxiao hugged her arms seriously.

The three little ones' eyes rolled around.

"Dark." Dahu pointed at Su Ergou's house and said.

"Afraid." Erhu continued.

"Yeah!" Xiaohu nodded seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

"Just this once." She said seriously, "You should go back to the west room to sleep tomorrow."

The three little ones nodded obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao spread the quilt, took off the clothes of the three children, and carried them to bed.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" She looked at the three little ones lying in the quilt.

The three little ones blinked their big black eyes.

——I need a kiss before I can fall asleep.

Good morning
