Chapter 8: Exposed
When Old Li returned home, it was almost dark.
Madam Qian sat on the threshold and fed her grandson, glancing out anxiously from time to time.
"Why isn't your grandfather back yet?" Madam Qian muttered.
He went out early in the morning. Could it be that the old hen couldn't be sold?
"Grandpa!"
The three-year-old grandson pointed at the tired Old Li in the night.
Madam Qian quickly brought her grandson into the house and let her daughter-in-law feed him. She then walked over to pick up Old Li.
"Why are you back so late? Did you sell the chicken?" She looked at the car.
"Sold," Old Li said.
"What about the things for the folks?" she asked again.
"I bought them all and sent them over," Old Li replied.
Qian looked at him strangely. "I think something's wrong with you. What's wrong?"
Thinking of what had happened along the way, Old Li had mixed feelings. "I… came back with Fat Lass today."
Madam Qian gasped. "That wretched girl extorted money from you!"
"No, she didn't blackmail me."
"She sat in your cart for nothing again!"
"No." Old Li opened the money bag. He had counted. Not only was there not a single copper coin missing but there were also ten more. "She paid for the ride."
Madam Qian's jaw dropped.
Old Li continued, "She even chased away the hooligans in town."
Madam Qian was speechless.
… .
At the Su family, tears streamed down Su Xiaoxiao's face. It wasn't that she wanted to cry. It was this body's instinct.
Not only did this body feel different from ordinary people, but even her tear ducts were exceptionally developed. She could not control them at all.
In her previous life in the army, her results were outstanding in all aspects. Her stamina, shooting, and combat skills were almost second to none.
She had always felt that it was because she had worked hard enough. From the looks of it, it was true that she had worked hard, but her strong physique and genes were innate.
After this body was done crying, Su Xiaoxiao took out an iodophor to disinfect herself before going to the kitchen.
Su Cheng and Su Ergou started a fire in the kitchen, boiled hot water, and washed the three children's hair.
The door was closed tightly, so they didn't hear anything from outside the kitchen.
When Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open, Su Cheng was educating the three children with a serious expression.
"From today onwards, your name is Su Dahu! Your name is Su Erhu! Your name is Su Xiaohu!"
The three children sat naked in the wooden basin with wet hair. They looked up at Su Cheng with confused expressions.
Su Ergou squatted behind the stove and added firewood to the stove while roasting a few sweet potatoes.
The wind blew against the light. Su Cheng turned around and said in surprise, "Daya! You're back!"
He was so happy to see his daughter!
The three children also looked at Su Xiaoxiao. They were silly and cute.
"Sister!" Su Ergou shouted.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the messy kitchen. After not seeing it for a day, it had become a large-scale car accident scene again…
They were not allowed to enter the kitchen in the future!
"Dad, Ergou."
Family members had to greet each other. She closed the door and the house warmed up again. Su Cheng hooked a small stool over with his foot and sat down for his daughter.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down. "Dad, were you naming them just now?"
Su Cheng said, "That's right. Su Dahu, Su Erhu, Su Xiaohu. How is it? The names Dad gave are so pleasant!" freewebnov(e)l
Thinking of her own name and Su Ergou's, Su Xiaoxiao basically did not have high expectations of Su Cheng's naming standards.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Don't you think it sounds like they're from the same generation as me and Ergou?"
Su Cheng said, "Really?"
Forget it. He could call them whatever he wanted. It was just a few nicknames.
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao asked, "How do you know who's the eldest, who's the second, and who's the third?"
Su Cheng let down their hair and pointed at their heads. He said confidently, "One whirl, two whirls, three whirls. Eldest, Middle, Third!"
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Father Su continued to bathe the three children. Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting's house to change his dressing.
The wound was alright. She had sutured it beautifully, but he still had a low fever and his body was very weak.
After dealing with two serious injuries, Su Xiaoxiao applied anti-inflammatory and painkillers ointment to the rest of his injuries.
"Uh, I'm really tired."
Su Xiaoxiao sat down on the edge of the bed.
After working all morning, buying things, and fighting all the way, she was exhausted.
Wei Ting gasped.
Su Xiaoxiao hummed. "You're awake?"
Wei Ting slowly opened his eyes, a trace of vigilance flashing across them.
Su Xiaoxiao snorted. "Who are you guarding against? You're like a fish on a chopping board. Killing you is easier than killing an ant!"
Wei Ting clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the stool. Originally, there were two steamed sweet potato cakes she had brought in before she left. There was only half left.
"You were awake during the day?" she asked.
How was Wei Ting not awake?
He had even interacted deeply with her family.
He already knew that the three children were here. Yesterday, he asked where the children were, but this woman actually lied and said that she didn't know!
He had worried for nothing!
"Does my father know?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting looked at her as if she was a fool.
Su Xiaoxiao coughed. "Looks like he was here. Did he say anything to you?"
Wei Ting's eyes were cold. "He said that someone attacked me. He was the one who chased the other party away and saved me and my children. He asked me to give myself to him and be your Su family's live-in son-in-law."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Su Xiaoxiao choked. "Then what are you thinking?"
Wei Ting mocked, "Do you think I don't know that the person who attacked me from behind was your father?"
He didn't see it, but he heard the other party's voice before he fainted.
"You want me to marry a thief and acknowledge him as my father-in-law? Dream on!"
Ah, this…
It would be very awkward.
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head angrily.
Wei Ting snorted coldly.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao reached out to him.
"What are you trying to do?" he asked warily.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin and looked down at him.
"Although my father kidnapped you, I also treated you. We're even! Since you don't intend to give yourself to me, we have to settle the score between us!"
"Food fees, accommodation fees, medical fees, care fees, 20 taels a day! 500 taels a month! 100 taels for child support fees, 300 taels for three children! It's settled now, no credit!"
Creak…
The door was pushed open.
Su Cheng walked in. "Daya, the children are done bathing… Eh? Is my son-in-law awake?"
Su Xiaoxiao was thinking, What son-in-law? You've already exposed yourself, okay?
Wei Ting looked at Su Cheng and smiled. "Father, I'm hungry."
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded!
