He was a mouse, and it wasn't easy for him to avoid big cats and big dogs along the way.
The bloodline suppression from natural enemies is difficult to overcome.
But with the blessing of the dragon princess, the journey back was smooth and peaceful.
The chubby body squeezed through the crack in the door, listening to the man's thunderous snoring, and the gray-clothed girl waved her little paws at the bed.
Oh my god! Once he's free again, I'm going to give him a good beating!
His unlucky days are about to end. Being picked up by Zhao Jixue during his tribulation was his ordeal, and all of this will end after he meets the Dragon Princess!
Zhao Jixue wanted him to harm the dragon princess, but he wasn't stupid. If he did it foolishly, his life as a rat would truly be over.
...
Early in the morning, the three members of the Su family, father and sons, went out to sea as usual.
Liu Xiaohua and her two daughters-in-law were at home organizing fishing nets and doing housework, while Su Luo was studying.
Su Tiantian grabbed Dai Ping'an's beard while nestled in his arms.
There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Chunmei went to open it.
Upon opening the door and seeing a strange man, Zhou Chunmei asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Zhou Chunmei didn't recognize him, but she remembered Su Dahai's words and became wary!
Zhao Jixue picked up the gift in his hand and said with a smile, "You must be my sister-in-law. I am Zhao Jixue. Chenggong Chengguo and I were good friends when we were young. I have been away from home for many years and just came back yesterday. I came here to see them. Are they at sea?"
Zhao Jixue's bright smile revealed his identity and purpose.
Hearing him say this, Zhou Chunmei lowered her guard considerably. It turned out he was a childhood friend of Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo, and the old woman knew him too.
Since they were guests, Zhou Chunmei stepped aside and said with a smile, "Yes, they went out to sea today. Please come in and sit down for a while. Mom is home."
Zhao Jixue nodded, entered the courtyard and saw Liu Xiaohua and Li Xue. He walked over with a smile: "Aunt Hua, it's me, Zhao Jixue. Do you still remember me?"
"Is this also your sister-in-law?"
Zhao Jixue smiled at Li Xue. He couldn't tell which of the two women was married to, but he was older than both Su Chenggong and his brother, so he called them both "sister-in-law".
"Jixue, of course we remember you! You really are something, you never come home once you leave. Your parents were so worried. Now that you're back, they can finally relax. Come on in, have a seat!"
Liu Xiaohua smiled and stood up to greet them.
When the two sons were young, Zhao Jixue was their best friend. When Zhao Jixue left, many people said that he had been abducted.
Almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the child from back then has grown into a young man.
Judging from her clothes and appearance, she seems to be doing quite well.
Upon seeing this, Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei went to the kitchen to pour tea.
"Aunt Hua, you were young and ignorant back then, but now you've grown up and become more sensible."
Looking at Liu Xiaohua's gentle face, Zhao Jixue said with emotion.
Everyone has their own destiny; he just wasn't very lucky.
"Success and achievement have been married for many years, haven't they?"
Zhao Jixue asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaohua nodded: "Yes, the child is all grown up now. What about you? Have you gotten married yet?"
Zhao Jixue gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "I'm still unsettled. I don't even know if I'll ever have a family in this lifetime. I'm getting old, and I don't know if it'll be easy for me to find someone."
He's 28 this year, which is considered old for a man. Most young women who are 18 or 19 and ready to get married would think he's too old.
He also didn't want to date a widow with children or a woman who had remarried.
"So, are you leaving again this time you're back?"
Liu Xiaohua looked at Zhao Jixue and asked.
Zhao Jixue hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Well, I don't know either. It depends on how things develop. If things go well, I can stay at home. If I can't find anything to do, then I'll have to go out and find work..."
He had been away from home for too long; if it weren't for that incident, he wouldn't have been able to come back.
Zhou Chunmei poured tea, and Zhao Jixue politely accepted it and drank it.
“You young people have your own ideas now. Other aunties don’t understand, but as parents, all we want is for our children to be safe and sound.”
Liu Xiaohua looked at Zhao Jixue and said.
"I know."
Zhao Jixue nodded.
He looked at Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei, and Liu Xiaohua introduced them to him: "This is Li Xue, Chenggong's wife, and this is Zhou Chunmei, Chenggong's wife."
"Hello, my two sisters-in-law. Chenggong is truly blessed to have found such wonderful wives as you two."
Zhao Jixue greeted him with a smile, but a surge of jealousy welled up inside him.
His sister-in-law looked at him like he was an object; if he hadn't taken out money, she would have been arrogant and disdainful.
Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei looked very gentle, and you could tell from their words that Liu Xiaohua was very happy.
Both are mothers-in-law, but Liu Xiaohua is living a good life, while her mother is treated coldly by her daughter-in-law.
Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo are so lucky, unlike him. Back then, he was tricked into doing business and becoming a thug. He accidentally injured someone and went to jail. He finally got a treasure and was about to become rich, but he was tricked again.
If he fails to complete the mission, his life is over.
"Once you settle down, you'll find a soulmate."
Liu Xiaohua looked at Zhao Jixue and said gently.
Zhao Jixue nodded with a smile and then said, "Aunt Hua, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. When Cheng Guo comes back, let them know I'm back, and I'll invite them to my house for dinner and drinks tonight."
"Okay, I'll talk to them tonight."
Liu Xiaohua nodded in agreement.
Zhao Jixue did not stay long before getting up and leaving.
Liu Xiaohua saw him off with the gifts, saying, "You've already come, so there's no need to bring any gifts. Take these back for your parents to enjoy."
"Aunt Hua, my parents also have something to eat. It's just a little bit, I hope you don't mind."
Zhao Jixue waved awkwardly and quickly walked away.
He was afraid that if he hesitated even a moment longer, the smile on his face would falter.
Liu Xiaohua can say these things now only because she's become more confident and has more means, so she's started to look down on others.
Let's see if they can still laugh after he finishes his mission!
After seeing Zhao Jixue off, Liu Xiaohua closed the door and said to Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue, "Xue, Chunmei, Mom will wash two pears for you to eat. Zhao Jixue is quite generous. No matter what his purpose is, he brought them, so we might as well eat them."
It was impossible for Liu Xiaohua not to be wary of Zhao Jixue's sudden visit.
She had just been observing Zhao Jixue. He controlled himself well, but he still inadvertently revealed some jealousy and resentment.
Liu Xiaohua already knew what was going on.
He's got ulterior motives, so what's a few pears or bananas to him?
Liu Xiaohua washed the pears and gave them to Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei. She then went to the main room to give two more to Su Luo and Dai Ping'an before returning to the courtyard to sit down and eat one herself.
"Mom, who is this Zhao Jixue?"
While eating a pear, Zhou Chunmei asked, "He's Su Chengguo's childhood friend. Logically, their relationship should be good, but it must have changed now."
