Oh, are you sure you don't want to play? Wei Ting casually took out a few banknotes: "Since women can't rely on men, then the household expenses this time..."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly took the banknote and said seriously, "Look, you spent all the money you had. I have to save it for you!"

The two of them went back to Lihua Lane first and gave the candied haws to the three little ones.

"One string for the big axe, one string for the two axes, one string for the small axes, one string for the four axes, one string for grandpa, one string for uncle, and mother won't eat it."

Su Xiaoxiao is trying to lose weight and never eats candied haws.

"What about mine?" Wei Ting asked.

"No." Xiaohu said.

"Sihu doesn't want to eat it, give it to me." Wei Ting already knew that Sihu was the foal.

"Si Fu, do you want to give it to Daddy?" Xiao Hu turned back to look at Wei Ting, "Si Fu said no."

Wei Ting said: "It didn't say."

Xiao Hu said righteously: "Si Fu said it, but you didn't hear it!"

Little boy, you just want to take the two strings of candied haws for yourself, right? Wei Ting teased him and insisted on eating Sihu's string of candied haws, and finally succeeded in making Xiaohu cry.

Xiaohu lay on the ground with his butt raised high, his face buried in his hands, and cried loudly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Su Cheng ran out in a hurry.

Wei Ting said calmly: "Dad, don't worry about him, let him cry."

"How can that be possible?" Su Cheng said, "If you cry too much, you need to take medicine, and the medicine is very expensive."

Wei Ting: “…”

Wei Ting said, "Dad, Daya doesn't seem to be feeling well. Go and take a look. I'll comfort Xiaohu."

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment: "Okay, don't let Xiaohu cry on the ground all the time! He will catch a cold! He will cough when he gets cold!"

Wei Ting responded: "I understand, Dad."

Su Cheng went to Su Xiaoxiao's room.

Wei Ting looked at the crying little kid with a half-smile, picked up a small cushion and threw it next to him.

The ground was hard and the back of my hand hurt.

Xiaohu thought about it, climbed up and lay on the mat, continuing to cry with his butt sticking up.

He was halfway through crying when he turned his head and looked.

Hey, there’s no one in the yard!

He quickly picked up the cushion, brought it into the house, and lay down next to Su Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao, continuing to cry! Su Cheng: "..."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…” -Renxintang .

Manager Wu was pacing back and forth in the accounting office.

A waiter came over in a hurry: "Boss!"

Shopkeeper Wu looked around, dragged him in, closed the door, and whispered, "What happened? Is the girl injured?"

Manager Wu did not intend to kill anyone. He did not have the courage to do so. His purpose was to injure Su Xiaoxiao so that she could no longer enter the palace to treat the empress dowager.

The guy said, "I don't know, that guy is gone!"

Shopkeeper Wu was horrified: "What?"

The clerk said awkwardly, "I guess... maybe he took our money and ran away?"

Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that he slapped him on the forehead: "How do you do things? The person you find is so unreliable!"

The guy touched his head which was hurt by the blow and stammered, "I'm just guessing... It may not be unsuccessful... Maybe..."

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the fat figure downstairs and said, "Maybe something! Everyone is here!"

Su Xiaoxiao entered the first hall and asked Du Juan, who was helping a customer get medicine, "Is Shopkeeper Sun here?"

Du Juan pointed upstairs: "In the accounting office."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Let Xiao Weizi come up as well."

Du Juan said: "Good boss!"

It was a busy day today. Du Juan not only had to get medicine, but also had to run errands for Su Xiaoxiao. She accidentally knocked over a bag of herbs.

Doctor Fu happened to pass by and frowned and said, "Dujuan, medicinal herbs are very precious. This is the third time you have spilled the medicine!"

Du Juan explained: "I... my boss asked me to call Xiao Weizi..."

Doctor Fu said, "Then you can't be so flustered."

The patient's family urged, "Are you going to get the medicine?"

Du Juan hurriedly said, "I caught it! I'm sorry! I'll catch you a new one!"

"Dujuan! I told you to call me Xiao Weizi, but you didn't?"

Su Xiaoxiao's dissatisfied voice came from upstairs.

Du Juan said aggrievedly: "I, I forgot! I'll go right away!"

"Hey! I haven't grabbed my medicine yet!"

"Mine too! We're all waiting!"

"What's going on after waiting so long?"

Little Weizi went upstairs, and after a while, he shouted downstairs: "Dujuan, bring up a pot of tea!"

Dujuan was so busy as both a medicine boy and a maid that she accidentally scalded her hand while making tea. When she brought the tea to the shopkeeper, Sun, she scolded her for being so slow and not being able to match the quick hands and feet of the twelve-year-old Ying'er.

Dujuan felt very aggrieved.

A man sat on the threshold of a back alley and cried.

"Hey, isn't this Dujuan?"

A maid from Renxin Hall came over with a winnowing basket.

Dujuan wiped her tears quickly and sat up straight as if nothing had happened.

The maid smiled, sat down next to her, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not sent by Renxin Hall. I clean several shops. Are you short of help here?"

Du Juan sniffed, shook her head, and said in a choked voice: "No, Sister Cao sweeps the floor every day, and Ying'er and I help out occasionally."

The maid asked in confusion, "Aren't you a doctor? Why are you helping with the cleaning?"

Du Juan said: "When I'm too busy, I'll do more work."

The maid felt sorry for her and said, "Alas, the female doctors at Renxin Hall never do those dirty and tiring jobs. They only help women deliver babies and treat illnesses. Eh? What happened to your hand?"

"Nothing?" Du Juan covered her hands with her sleeves.

The maid pulled Du Juan's hand over and said, "Oh, you are burned? Why don't you put some ointment on it? Your First Clinic is a big clinic after all, you won't be stingy with some ointment for burns, right? It would be bad for a girl to be left with scars. You are so pretty, you will definitely marry into a good family one day."

Dujuan said nothing.

"Just wait."

The maid put down the dustpan and went into Renxin Hall. After a while, she took out a box of burn ointment and said, "Here, my nephew has used it before. It works."

"Thank you." Dujuan said in a low voice.

The maid advised: "If you are not happy with your job, why not find another job? You are handsome and hardworking, so where can you not find a job?"

Du Juan lowered her head and said, "I am a girl who has signed a death contract. I cannot leave. Unless I can save up enough money to redeem myself... but that is a huge sum of money... I am afraid I can't save up enough money even if I work for a lifetime."

The maid's eyes flickered: "What if... someone is willing to redeem you?"

Du Juan wiped her tears and said, "Aunt Tong, stop joking. Who would be willing to redeem me as a servant?"

Aunt Tong patted her hands and said, "Actually, this isn't that difficult."

Accounting office.

Su Xiaoxiao was picking walnuts from a jar.

When Su Mo is not around, the walnuts peeled by others don’t look good.

She frowned and threw one into her mouth with a bitter look.

Crunch——

The door was pushed open.

Little Weizi came in cautiously.

"Is the fish hooked?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Little Weizi chuckled: "Don't worry, boss!"

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed another walnut.

"Ren Xin Tang, I was originally planning to give you three months, but you guys were courting death, so you can't blame me for closing the net early!"

Hohoho! Shopkeeper Sun: You really have a sinister smile... -Wei Ting will stay here tonight. He will give the three little ones a bath.

The three little ones looked disgusted.

They want their mother to wash them.

Wei Ting said sternly, "You will be three years old in two months. You are no longer children. You can no longer let your mother bathe you."

Xiaohu was furious: "Three years old is still a baby!"

Da Hu tilted his head: "Then you still need your mother to bathe you when you are seven years old."

Wei Ting: “Who said that?”

Da Hu: "Grandma."

Wei Ting coughed lightly: "She was just talking nonsense, I didn't do that."

Da Hu continued to expose the dirty laundry: "You peed the bed once when you were four, but I stopped when I was two!"

Wei Ting: That's because I drank too much mung bean soup! Rebellious son... How much of your father's dark history have you dug up? No matter what, Wei Ting is an adult now.

He has the strong fist and he has the final say.

The three little ones, at the age of two years and ten months, were finally ruthlessly deprived of the right to be bathed by their mother. They turned into three soulless little salted fish, allowing their father to toss them around.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, the three little ones were sitting cross-legged on the bed.

They looked as if they had seen through the world, and they looked like three little Maitreya Buddhas.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "What's wrong?"

The three little ones put their hands together and said: "Amitabha."

Su Xiaoxiao: “……?!”
