Chapter 40: My face has become rounder after eating so much

It’s more than just selling money!

With such a good quality, if she was lucky enough to come across one in such urgent need, Mrs. Wei couldn't even imagine how much it could be sold for!

Mrs. Wei was a little excited.

Her daughter Xingxing is indeed the little lucky star of the family!

Grandma Wei hugged Xingxing and said, "My dear, when grandma gets the money, I'll buy you something delicious!"

Seeing Mrs. Wei so happy, Xingxing was also very happy.

Mrs. Wei remembered something and turned her head to remind Ju Ge'er: "This time, grandma dried the grass by the window. You are not allowed to throw it away again."

Even though Ju Ge'er was ignorant, he knew how valuable the grass he had thrown away last time was. His face turned red, he scratched the back of his head, and he stammered and could not speak.

Although Li Chunhua didn't know what the burning heart grass looked like, she knew it was valuable. She smiled and said frankly, "My second brother's wife came back to her parents' home today. Mother gave her money, but she was embarrassed to take it. In the end, mother still forced the fifty cents into her hand. I was thinking that it would be my turn to go back to my parents' home in a few days. There would be no money at home. If mother gave me silver, should I take it or not? ... Now I feel relieved!"

Mrs. Wei: “…”

Apart from being a little speechless, she didn't have any other thoughts.

The eldest daughter-in-law has always been so naive.

She's used to it.

Su Rouer, who was about to come out of the third room but was delayed for some reason, turned pale and blue when she heard these words, which was very interesting.

She bit her lip, didn't say anything for a long time, took a step halfway out, and then retracted into her room.

The weather was good these two days, with plenty of sunshine and good light. The scorching heart grass that Xingxing picked was almost dried after two days of drying.

The third day happened to be the day for the county market, so Mrs. Wei planned to take Xingxing with her to the county to sell the burning heart grass and exchange it for some coarse grains.

Mrs. Wei dressed Xingxing up beautifully and even put a red hair tie on her little bun, which made her look very festive.

She smiled and said to the Yu family, "This burning heart grass was picked by our Xingxing. I will buy some delicious food for Xingxing later. You are not allowed to be jealous."

Everyone smiled and said no, no.

Mrs. Wei was about to set off with Xing Xinglin, but Su Rouer was hesitant, as if she had something to say.

These two days, Su Rouer made a pair of shoes for Xingxing, saying that she was thanking Xingxing for finding Ju Ge'er.

Because of the shoes, Mrs. Wei was not so stern towards Su Rouer anymore. Even Yu Sanbao, who had been very indifferent to Su Rouer in the past few days, treated Su Rouer a little better.

Su Rouer vaguely figured out something. The fact that she was nice to Xingxing showed that she at least had a grateful heart, so her mother-in-law and her husband would not be too disappointed with her.

"Just tell me what's the matter." Mrs. Wei frowned. Although she was not used to the coquettish look of her third daughter-in-law before, she felt that the timid look now was better than before.

Su Rouer blushed and whispered, "Mom, Ju Ge'er and I still have some clothes at my mother's house. I want to get them back..."

Su Rouer's voice got lower and lower as she spoke.

It had been a few days since she and Ju Ge'er came back. If her parents really missed her, why didn't anyone come to see her and Ju Ge'er these days? They even didn't send them clothes?

This clearly meant that she could not hold her head up in her husband's family.

Su Rouer even guessed that her mother-in-law would probably laugh at and ridicule her after hearing what she said.

However, Mrs. Wei only glanced at Su Rouer and said nothing else, "Let's go."

Su Rouer was stunned, and it took her a long time to react. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Wei had walked a few steps holding Xingxing's hand, but she didn't hear Su Rouer following. She frowned and turned around, only to see Su Rouer still standing there in a daze. Mrs. Wei said impatiently, "Why don't you hurry over?"

"Hey..." Su Rouer responded hurriedly.

But Ju Ge'er suddenly caught up with her and said, "Grandma, I want to go to the county to play, too!"

Su Rouer blushed and held Ju Ge'er's hand: "Ju Ge'er, next time, I will take you to the county..."

But Ju Ge'er shook off Su Rou'er's hand, and his temper flared up again. He ran to Mrs. Wei, took her hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma, please take me with you this time. When I was in the county, my mother worked at home all day, and my grandmother only took Su Xiaobao out to play. I didn't even go to the market..."

Su Rouer was speechless, and her face was burning again.

Since Ju Ge'er was injured, he has become much more sensible and even takes the initiative to help the family pick wild vegetables. Even his relationship with Xing Xing is not as stiff as before. Mrs. Wei is relieved.

In addition, she heard her grandson sounding aggrieved and pitiful, so her heart softened and she agreed immediately: "Okay! No matter what, we have to make it clear first. When we go to the county, we can't shout about buying this or that."

When Ju Ge'er heard that Grandma Wei was willing to take him with her, he was so happy that he patted his chest loudly: "Yes, yes, yes! Grandma, don't worry!"

When Su Rouer saw that Mrs. Wei agreed so straightforwardly, her nose felt sore and she didn't know what to say. She just hurried forward and held Ju Ge'er's hand.

When the two adults and two children arrived at the entrance of the village, Old Xu, who was trying to catch the car, had already harnessed the car and was waiting there.

When Old Xu saw Mrs. Wei appear with her third daughter-in-law Su Rouer, his eyes suddenly widened and he laughed "Aiyoyo" with a look of ridicule in his eyes.

Su Rouer's face was about to turn red!

She had not forgotten. She had complained about her mother-in-law to the old man who was trying to catch the bus many times before!

It was Mrs. Wei who glared at Old Xu in silence, with an obvious warning in her eyes.

Old Xu laughed and shook his head.

This eldest sister of the Wei family is hard on the outside but soft on the inside!

Her daughter-in-law was about to describe her as an unforgivable evil person. I heard that she even ran away to her mother's home in the county and stayed there for quite some time.

If a daughter-in-law like this were to stay in the Xu family, she would probably be beaten!

"Two adults and two children." Mrs. Wei took out eight cents and paid the fare to Old Xu.

Old Xu accepted it with a chuckle.

There was still some time before departure, and Old Xu was a chatterbox who could not stop talking. He turned around and teased Xingxing: "Hey, little girl, I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that your face has become a lot rounder because of eating so much. It seems that your grandpa and grandma love you very much."

Xing Xing was a little excited when she heard this. She held her face with her hands, her eyes shining: "Ah, has Xing Xing gained weight? Has she really gained weight?"

She often saw her grandmother touching her little face and sighing, saying that she was too thin.

Now the child was very excited when he heard Old Xu say that she was pregnant.

She even pulled Grandma Wei's arm and shouted in a baby voice, "Grandma, Grandpa Xu said I'm plump! All those meals I ate were not in vain!"
