Chapter 41 Otherwise, how could she be thrown away?

Mrs. Wei was amused by her granddaughter: "Yes, yes, yes, our Xingxing is the best, she eats so well!"

Xingxing was extremely happy, and treated Old Xu much more warmly, calling him "Grandpa Xu" all the time.

How could Old Xu have the nerve to tease the little girl anymore since he let her call him Grandpa Xu so affectionately?

He looked at Ju Ge'er again, as if he had just remembered something: "By the way, I heard that Ju Ge'er, you rolled down the hillside a few days ago?"

Nantuo Village is not big. Besides, when Ju Ge'er was lost, half of the villagers helped to look for him. So when they found him later, they naturally had to tell everyone about it.

This didn't sound good at first, and Ju Ge'er pouted. Mrs. Wei glanced at Ju Ge'er and said, "In the middle of the night, your old master Xu also followed you up the mountain with a torch and looked for you for a long time."

Orange brother was stunned.

He doesn't like this old man Xu.

This old man Xu always likes to say some weird things to these kids every time he sees them. These weird things may sound like ridicule to adults, but to the kids, they are not very pleasant to the ears.

But although Ju Ge'er is young, he has experienced life and death, and is not as arrogant as before.

At least he can tell the difference between good and bad.

Brother Ju is a little bit weird.

Although he still didn't like this old Xu, he had helped to find him...

Ju Geer said listlessly, "Thank you, Master Xu."

There was a look of relief in Mrs. Wei's eyes.

Old Xu laughed and said, "Oh, our Ju Ge'er has grown up."

A blush appeared on Ju Ge'er's face, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

Old Xu stopped making fun of Ju Ge'er and looked at Su Rou'er.

Mrs. Wei also followed with a warning look in her eyes.

Old Xu laughed and didn't tease Su Rouer in any way.

He is an old widower, and he made fun of the young wife in front of the mother-in-law. If this gets out, won't he lose face?

Fortunately, it was soon time to go to the county. Old Xu collected money from the other three villagers who were riding in the donkey cart and started whipping the cart.

It just so happened that among the other three villagers riding in the donkey cart, there was an old woman who was very familiar with Mrs. Wei. At her feet was a basket covered with an earth-blue linen cloth.

The woman's surname was Liu. She showed off to Wei, "Oh, my two daughters-in-law did some embroidery work and said they wanted to help me with my family expenses. So I helped them sell their embroidery work in the county."

Mrs. Wei had no interest in this topic.

It’s not like her daughter-in-law doesn’t know how to embroider.

Seeing that Mrs. Wei didn't respond, Mrs. Liu chuckled again and glanced at Su Rouer: "My two daughters-in-law, although they are not very knowledgeable, they are just native mountain wives. But they are filial and obedient, and never give me the cold shoulder..."

These words were very specific. Xing Xing and Ju Ge'er might not understand them, but Su Rou'er and Wei Pozi understood them immediately.

Xing Xing and Ju Ge'er both looked confused, and Su Rou'er's face was pale and blue, looking very ugly.

Mrs. Wei frowned and glanced at Mrs. Liu.

She knew that Mrs. Liu had no bad intentions. Perhaps as a mother-in-law, she just couldn't stand Su Rouer's behavior.

But after all, she was her own daughter-in-law, so Mrs. Wei still spoke up to defend her: "You are praising your two daughters-in-law in front of me. Do you think I don't have any daughters-in-law?... I have three daughters-in-law, and all of them are virtuous, filial and obedient. Let's not talk about anything else... Come on, Xingxing, lift your feet."

Xingxing obediently lifted her little feet, revealing the new shoes she was wearing today.

"Did you see it? This was made by my third daughter-in-law for Xingxing." Mrs. Wei praised, "Look at the stitches, isn't it good?"

When Mrs. Liu saw the sun, she wanted to find some thorns, but she couldn't find any.

No one can find any fault with Su Rouer's shoemaking skills.

Furthermore, Xingxing was just a little girl adopted by Mrs. Wei, and not Su Rouer's relative. Yet, Su Rouer was willing to spend time and effort to make a pair of shoes for Xingxing. Doesn't this indirectly show that Su Rouer is filial to Mrs. Wei, her mother-in-law?

Mrs. Liu could only chuckle and say, "Not bad..."

Su Rouer was completely stunned.

She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would protect her like this outside.

When she thought of her previous behavior, she felt even more ashamed and her head almost dropped to her chest.

Mrs. Liu took the opportunity to bring up the topic of Xing Xing again: "...Speaking of which, this is your little lucky star, right? I heard that this little lucky star is very powerful. On the day you adopted her, it rained heavily. Later, she went to the mountains and saved the lives of your two brothers and caught a wild rabbit. Is she really that amazing?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei became very energetic.

She snorted and laughed, "That's not all. Ever since Xingxing came to my house, several of my boys have gone out to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and they fill their baskets every time. And when I went to sell herbs before, the pharmacy that Xingxing chose for me gave me a high price!"

Mrs. Liu felt a little jealous when she heard this. She moved closer and touched Xingxing's little hand: "Is it really that magical? ... Come on, let me touch it?"

Xingxing was a little scared and hid in Mrs. Wei's arms.

Mrs. Wei was not very happy: "Don't scare my Xing Xing."

"I don't feel anything special." Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "I said, how could she be so magical. Otherwise, why would she be thrown away..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu realized that she had said the wrong thing and stopped talking immediately.

Mrs. Wei's face changed!

She pushed away Mrs. Liu's hand that was touching Xingxing and angrily scolded, "You old bastard, why don't you have a few nice words to say so early in the morning? You stink!"

Mrs. Liu knew she was in the wrong, so she smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more.

Xingxing raised her little face and whispered to Grandma Wei: "Don't be angry, Grandma. You said that it was God who sent Xingxing to our home! What is this..."

She racked her brains but couldn't remember what the word was.

Ju Ge'er, who was older, quickly responded, "It's fate, it's fate!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xing Xing smiled happily, "That's the word, fate! Grandma, we are destined to be together!"

She looked at Ju Ge'er with admiration again: "Ju Ge'er is still amazing!"

This made Brother Ju very proud!

He snorted and raised his little chin proudly!

With the interruption of her grandson and granddaughter, Mrs. Wei felt much better and a smile appeared on her face.

Mrs. Liu knew she was in the wrong, so she smiled and said a few nice words.

But Mrs. Wei didn't want to pay any attention to her.

When they arrived at the county gate and got off the car, Mrs. Liu hurriedly took the basket and left.

Mrs. Wei held Xingxing in one hand and Juge'er in the other, and looked at Su Rouer: "We will meet at the city gate after noon."

Su Rouer responded and looked at Ju Ge'er hesitantly, but Ju Ge'er said he was unwilling to go back to the Su family with her no matter what.

Su Rouer had no choice but to give up.
