"It's still the same kind that's six yuan a pound, two pounds as before."
After saying that, Su Mu took out twelve yuan and handed it over.
The boss took the money, quickly packed the feed into a plastic bag, weighed it, and handed it over.
"Beautiful lady, your buying habits are quite strange. Buying several kilograms every few days, what are you feeding your pets?"
Su Mu took the plastic bag and said without batting an eye, "I keep a little pig as a pet. It's not very big and eats very little."
"Oh, I see. Why don't you just take them one bag at a time? I'll give you a discount. You'll save money and energy, and you won't have to carry the child back and forth every time."
"It's okay, I was going to buy groceries anyway. It's on my way."
Before the boss could say anything more, Su Mu left.
After leaving the market, I hurriedly found a corner, hid two pounds of pig feed in the baby carrier I used to carry my child, and then carried the vegetables back to the family compound.
As soon as I entered, Xu Xiuzhen, who was sitting in front of the TV eating sunflower seeds, put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Look at this! Look at this! Look at the time! We asked you to buy some groceries, and you're only coming back now. Are you trying to starve us to death?"
Su Mu glanced at Xu Xiuzhen, then lowered his head and walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Xiuzhen, however, showed no sign of giving up. She chased after him to the kitchen door and yelled, "What? You think you're being wronged? If you don't want to do it, you can leave!"
We didn't tie you up with a rope! All you do all day is take care of the child and cook, right? Look at you, acting like someone's wronged you!
Say something! Why are you silent now? Weren't you always so talkative? If you don't want to stay in this house, you should divorce my son as soon as possible.
"You jinx! Ever since you came into our family, my son has been plagued by bad luck! You're a jinx to your parents and husband, the sooner the better!"
Su Mu gritted his teeth, washed the vegetables, and then heated oil in a wok.
As the oil temperature rises rapidly, the fumes that the outdated range hood couldn't remove begin to fill the kitchen.
Xu Xiuzhen covered her nose and glared at Su Mu with disgust before turning back to the TV to continue eating sunflower seeds.
Every now and then he'd swear a few more times, spitting sunflower seed shells everywhere.
In the kitchen.
Su Mu stir-fried vegetables while simultaneously simmering soup.
Half an hour later, the dishes and soup were served.
"Mom, dinner's ready."
After serving the rice, she also served soup to Xu Xiuzhen and Liao Nanxing.
After setting out the chopsticks and chairs, Xu Xiuzhen came over.
After glancing at the dishes on the table, he scolded, "Didn't I give you money to buy groceries? Why is it the same few dishes every day?"
Xu Xiuzhen picked through the dishes with her chopsticks.
"Look at this, there are only a few slices of meat! Huh? Who's going to eat this? Did you secretly pocket the money for the vegetables?"
Su Mu held the coughing child in his arms, comforting him while explaining, "Meat prices have gone up, so we bought less."
"You want me to give you more money? Don't even think about it! Go and call Nanxing to eat!"
Su Mu then went to the bedroom and knocked on the door.
It took a while for the bedroom door to open.
Seeing Liao Nanxing, who was a third wider than before, Su Mu's bad mood instantly vanished.
She said softly, "Dinner's ready."
"Aren't you going to eat?" Liao Nanxing asked.
Su Mu smiled and said, "I'll feed the baby first, so that Mom won't get angry if he cries later."
"Okay." Liao Nanxing walked towards the dining room.
Su Mu entered the bedroom, looked at Liao Nanxing's round back and buttocks, raised the corners of his mouth, and closed the door.
After feeding the child, she patted the child's back and stood in front of the window, gazing into the distance.
But a voice inside me kept saying, "Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer."
The thought of Xu Xiuzhen dying with her eyes wide open made her laugh out loud.
"Why are you laughing here instead of going to eat?"
Liao Nanxing's voice suddenly rang out, startling Su Mu.
"No, no, I'm putting Xiaobao to sleep. I'll eat after he falls asleep."
Liao Nanxing frowned, her gaze fixed on the child.
She said impatiently, "His habit of crying the moment you let go is all because you spoiled him! I've told you so many times, you can't always hold a child! You need to let him get used to being alone! It's true what they say, a doting mother spoils her child!"
"He's still too young. He'll be able to play by himself when he's a little older," Su Mu said anxiously.
"Alright! Go eat now! I have something to tell you."
"Okay."
Su Mu, carrying the child, followed Liao Nanxing to the dining table and sat down.
Xu Xiuzhen had finished eating and was now sitting in front of the television, cracking sunflower seeds.
Just as she was about to get up to get some rice, a bowl of hot rice was placed in front of her.
Su Mu looked at Liao Nanxing in surprise.
She couldn't understand. Had Liao Nanxing taken the wrong medicine today? He was actually serving her rice.
You should know that ever since Liao Nanxing almost beat her to death, she hasn't even smiled, let alone served rice.
She picked up her chopsticks and glanced at the soup.
That's strange. They didn't finish their drink today; they even left her a bowl.
"Eat quickly. You'll come out with me in a little while." Liao Nanxing sat down opposite her.
Su Mu's chopsticks, which were holding food, stopped in mid-air.
"Go out? Where to?"
Liao Nanxing frowned: "Just come with me. Why ask so many questions!"
Sensing Liao Nanxing's displeasure, she dared not ask any further questions.
Because Liao Nanxing always had this expression before he took action.
They're all still alive, so of course she can't die first.
But... my heart feels empty and uncertain.
She could only respond with a snort before burying her head in her food.
She ate two bowls of rice with the vegetable leaves she had picked up, then put down her chopsticks.
"That soup was specially saved for you, why didn't you drink it?" Liao Nanxing said.
Su Mu hurriedly reached out and picked up the bowl.
Just as it was brought to his lips, the soup and bowl spilled all over the table.
"Clumsy," Liao Nanxing said with a look of disdain as she walked away.
Xu Xiuzhen also said, "Useless! Can't even hold a bowl properly!"
Su Mu didn't reply. Instead, he silently got up, put the sleeping child on the bed, and then went back to the dining room to tidy up.
By the time they finished cleaning up, it was already completely dark.
"Hurry up and change your clothes! Pick something decent and tidy yourself up properly," Liao Nanxing urged.
"If I leave... what will happen to the children?"
"Mom's home! She can keep an eye on him. Hurry up," Liao Nanxing urged again.
Su Mu had no choice but to obediently go back to his room to change his clothes.
But when I opened the closet and looked at the clothes and dresses I used to wear often, a wave of disappointment and regret washed over me once again.
She had already lost weight after going to the gym after her postpartum period.
But after she stopped exercising and spent all her time taking care of her children, cooking, and doing housework, she unknowingly gained weight again.
She didn't know why, even though she had never slept a full eight hours a night, and was busy from the moment she woke up until she went to sleep every day, and didn't eat much, she was still fat, and kept getting fatter.
