Kaiji ran to open the door and found that it was her sister-in-law and her family standing outside.
The sister-in-law's family had once coveted Su Nian's house, so Kai Xiu was quite wary when he saw the sister-in-law. "What are you doing here?"
The sister-in-law smiled and was very kind. "Sister-in-law, I took the child out to buy groceries, but he got his clothes wet. Now we need to find a place to change. I thought you were working here, could I change here?"
Kaixiu took a look and saw that her sister-in-law's child was soaked, with water dripping from his clothes. She couldn't help but frown, "How could he be so wet?"
Looking at the clothes, it doesn't look like they got wet accidentally. It looks like they were specifically soaked in a well to become like this.
The sister-in-law's husband also smiled and said, "Kaixiu, please be kind and let us in. No matter what conflicts we have, the child has done nothing wrong. We can't let him get sick!"
Kaixiu frowned, but still did not violate the principle and let the family in. She said coldly, "The children can come in to change clothes, but you can't come in!"
The sister-in-law and her husband wanted to object, but Kaixiu had already pulled the child in and closed the door.
"We can't get in at all. What's the point of letting the children in?" said the sister-in-law angrily.
"Now we can only wait for the baby to come out and see what he says!" The sister-in-law's husband also frowned.
It turned out that the couple had bad intentions. They were asked by someone to find out what secrets were hidden in Chu Beichen's home.
Kaixiu brought the child into the yard and found that his coarse clothes were soaked through, so he led him to the kitchen where there was a fire burning and it was warmer.
When Su Nian saw it, she asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Kaixiu told the story again, "Su, I'm sorry, I brought outsiders in!"
Su Nian smiled and said, "Look at what you are talking about. He is still a child!"
Su Nian asked Kaixiu to help the child take off his clothes and tidy them up on the spot. She went into the house and found some coarse cloth clothes for adults, took them out and wrapped the child in them.
A delicious potato soup was simmering in the kitchen.
This potato soup contains chopped potatoes, diced pork, and broad beans. It is stewed with seasonings and becomes soft, fragrant, and melts in your mouth.
Seeing the little boy staring at the stove with a longing face, Su Nian smiled sweetly, helped him fill a bowl, and put a wooden spoon in his hand, "Drink it quickly!"
The little boy drank the soup in big gulps. When he finished the soup and felt warm, Mr. Kai led him out of the yard and handed the wet clothes to his sister-in-law. "Okay, you can take your child and leave now!"
The sister-in-law said with a shameless face, "It's uncomfortable. Can't you take us in for a cup of hot tea? We also..."
Kaixiu said with a straight face, "This is not my home. I'm just working here. Please leave now!"
Before the sister-in-law could say anything, the door had already closed in front of her. There was a bang, and it almost hit the couple's noses.
"This Kaixiu is so unreasonable!" The sister-in-law was very dissatisfied.
The sister-in-law's husband had already squatted down to ask his son what he saw. Unfortunately, the child was too young. He bit his fingers and stammered for a long time before he could say, "There seem to be quite a few horses in the yard, and the soup in the kitchen is delicious!"
Isn’t this nonsense? The sister-in-law and her husband were very angry. They twisted the child’s ears and called him a loser.
After leaving Su Nian's house, these people walked to a secluded tavern and went in together.
They stayed in the tavern for a long time and finally came out with a full bag of money.
Although they did not enter Su Nian's house this time, the other party still gave them the task. Obviously, after careful observation, these people also found that apart from Kai Xiu being a loophole that could be exploited, it was simply impossible to get close to Su Nian by other means.
The next day, when Su Nian and Kaixiu were buying vegetables, they met Kaixiu's sister-in-law in the market again. She was with her child as usual, but this time the situation was even worse.
Kaixiu's sister-in-law was also cruel. In order to get close to Kaixiu, she fed the child unclean food, causing the child to fall ill in the market and roll on the ground with stomachache.
After seeing Kaixiu and Su Nian, Kaixiu's sister-in-law immediately cried and asked them for help.
There were doctors in this era as well. Although technology had advanced to the Industrial Revolution under the leadership of King Poole, medical skills had not improved.
When Su Nian saw this situation, he squatted down without saying a word and started to rescue the child.
Su Nian's medical skills were very effective. After her treatment, the child got up from the ground not long after, and was in good spirits.
"Oh my god, this tofu-selling woman is such a good doctor?"
"Yes, isn't she a tofu seller?"
People were talking about it and looking at Su Nian with incredible eyes.
Kaixiu's sister-in-law did not expect such a result. According to her original plan, she just hoped that Su Nian and Kaixiu would take the child home to take care of him for the sake of the child. She never thought that Su Nian had such ability and could cure the child's illness on the street.
"Okay, you must pay attention to hygiene in the future, especially the food given to children must be clean!" Su Nian reminded and was about to leave.
Kaixiu's sister-in-law had received a large sum of money, and although the situation was not yet mature, she could only bite the bullet and shout, "Please wait a moment, can I take the child to your house to rest for a while? Although he is better now, he still doesn't feel well!"
Su Nian had already frowned. With her life experience, she immediately realized that there was something wrong with Kaixiu's sister-in-law. They obviously had a bad relationship, but she insisted on sticking to someone else's house. This in itself was very telling.
So Su Nian didn't respond, and Kai Xiu said from the side, "Let's not go home yet!"
Kaixiu's sister-in-law was just about to say, "Then I'll wait for you," but she saw that Kaixiu and Su Nian had already left.
The two people brought large buckets of tofu to the place where they usually set up their stall. As soon as they set up the stall, customers gathered around, taking turns to buy up pieces, and soon all the tofu was sold out.
Kaixiu and Su Nian were not in a hurry to come back after selling the tofu. They still had to buy a lot of hay, beans, and buckwheat.
These things could not be taken back by the two of them alone. The man selling hay loaded the hay into the cart and pushed it towards Su Nian's house along with the beans and buckwheat.
What Kaixiu and Su Nian didn't expect was that on the way home, Kaixiu's sister-in-law caught up with them again, holding the child. She said quickly, "Hey, why did you buy so many beans? Can the horses eat them? You are so wasteful!"
