Chapter 173 - 173 Relieved

173 Relieved

Because of Su Dalang’s stupidity, the Su family owed 500 taels of silver. The Su family did have some assets, but it was really difficult to take out so much money at once.

They looked at Su Yuniang’s gold and could not help but have thoughts.

Su Can opened his mouth. “Yuniang, you…”

Su Yuniang said calmly, “You want to say that this gold is yours and you won’t let me take it away?”

!!

She coolly took out an account book!

“This clearly notes where my money came from, which bank I took it from, and where the official seal came from! There’s no way you can take my money for yourself!”

If they fell out, there was no need to leave any leeway for the other party.

“Originally, you should have a share of this money. But you were the ones who pushed me out! Then I can only set up another household with my money!”

These words almost angered Su Can.

“Then, return the 100 taels!” Su Can said.

In order to frame the Su family, they had placed a hundred taels of silver in that bag.

Su Yuniang smiled. “Dad, have you forgotten that the bag is mine!”

Su Can choked. “Didn’t you already… explain it clearly…”

Su Yuniang mocked, “So, did you let the Su family take the blame for nothing? Don’t you have to compensate others for some losses? You don’t have money, but your life…”

“Which one do you want dead?” Su Xiaoxiao walked in with a butcher knife.

In the end, the Su family was in the wrong. Even if Su Xiaoxiao’s family forcefully kept the money, there was no way to reason.

This was what it meant to suffer a double loss.

Su Yuniang said coldly, “I’m leaving! I’ll never come to this house again!”

The Su family watched her leave the house without looking back with Fatty Su, who was holding a butcher knife. Their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Did you vent your anger?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Yuniang let out a long sigh. “I did!”

Under the moonlight, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Indeed, it was so damn satisfying!

Su Yuniang had to leave to do something, so it was not convenient for her to bring the child along. She could only entrust her daughter to Madam Zhao.

This time, she personally came to apologize and thank Madam Zhao.

It was her fault for intercepting her midwife back then. She was very selfish in the moment of life and death.

Madam Zhao said in a low voice, “No, I actually have to be grateful to you. If you hadn’t snatched that midwife away, I would have been the unlucky one.”

Su Yuniang was speechless.

Madam Qian did not intend to cut Su Yuniang any slack. Where was she back then when she should apologize? Did she think that she could bribe them with a basket of snacks and meat?

Were they so spineless?!

Her daughter-in-law must not forgive her!

Su Yuniang handed over two gold ingots. “I’ll leave my girl to you for the next few days.”

Madam Qian said, “Sigh, back then, it was only because the midwife wanted to curry favor with you and said that my daughter-in-law wasn’t in labor that you felt at ease keeping the midwife. Otherwise, with your personality, you definitely wouldn’t have monopolized her.”

Madam Zhao was speechless.

At Little Su’s house, Su Xiaoxiao continued to pack her things for the prefecture capital. She would be gone for a longer time this time, so she had to bring a few more clothes.

In addition, there were ingredients.

There were too many things to prepare for the three days of banquet.

Liu Ping was called over. Su Xiaoxiao made a list and asked him to buy them early the next morning. After buying the items, he could just haul them to Manager Sun’s residence.

“Okay.” Liu Ping accepted the list.

In order to increase Liu Ping’s efficiency and accuracy, Su Xiaoxiao also asked him to learn some words from Wei Ting.

He learned it and taught it to Little Wu when he returned. Little Wu learned faster than Liu Ping.

It was just that it had been so long. Little Wu and Liu Ping had worked too hard. It was time to find a few people to share the burden with them.

Just as she was thinking, Li Xiaoyong came over.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the central room. “Brother Xiaoyong, what’s the matter so late?”

Li Xiaoyong scratched his head in embarrassment. “Well, I saw that you’re quite busy here, so I wanted to ask you… do you need manpower?”

Of course, she needed manpower!

However, she did not want everyone. She would rather have none than use someone she couldn’t trust.

If it was Li Xiaoyong, there was naturally no problem.

The Li family was down-to-earth and capable. From Old Li to Auntie Qian to Li Xiaoyong, they were all good at work.

This was like a pillow being handed to her when she was sleepy.

Li Xiaoyong said, “Your Sister Zhao and the child are already out of confinement. If you don’t mind, we can both come.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Why would I mind? I can’t ask for more. However, my work here is different from the work in the village. Brother Xiaoyong, you and Sister Zhao will follow Sister Xiao Wu and Brother Liu for a few days to see if you’re used to it.”

After sending Li Xiaoyong off, Su Xiaoxiao asked Su Ergou to call Liu Ping over and told him that Li Xiaoyong and Madam Zhao had come to help. She also carefully divided their work.

...

Liu Ping remembered and would tell his wife when he returned.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to return to the house to pack. Halfway through, Wei Ting came over after washing up.

He glanced at the bags of various sizes on the bed. One of the bags actually had a pink undergarment jutting out of it.

It was indecent!

He turned his face away coldly.

“Wei Ting.” Su Xiaoxiao was busy arranging her clothes and didn’t notice a certain someone’s cold expression. “Can you do me a favor?”

“To do what?”

A certain someone had a cold expression and answered the question quickly.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Don’t you have a powerful subordinate? Yuniang is leaving to do something. I’m worried that the Su family will cause trouble while I’m not around. Can you ask your subordinate to protect Yuniang?”

Wei Ting refused to admit it. “I already said that I don’t have subordinates.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll take it that you agree. Thank you!”

...

Wei Ting was speechless.

Wei Ting looked at her bags on the left and right and frowned. “You’re packing so many clothes?”

The last time, there was only a bag. This time, it was as if she was not coming back.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “Half of them are Ergou’s. Coupled with the fact that we’re leaving for a longer time this time, it will take at least five days to seven days.”

Wei Ting fell silent.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. “Wei Ting, don’t tell me you can’t bear to part with me? Do you want to go with me?”

Wei Ting took a sip of tea. “Heh, dream on.”

Father Su walked over. “Daughter, the flour is packed! How’s your packing?”

“It’s about time, Dad.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Cheng and said, “I’ll leave the family to you.”

Father Su patted his chest. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the family and raise my son-in-law, Dahu, and the others until they’re fair and fat! Coincidentally, I’ve learned a few new dishes recently…”

Wei Ting’s hand trembled…

The next day, Manager Sun came to the village to pick up Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou. Xiaowu was still driving the cart.

When Su Xiaoxiao heard the sound of hooves, she put down her work and bade farewell to Little Wu and the others. She went to the central room to carry her bags out.

Manager Sun got out of the carriage and said with a smile, “Boss, you’re done packing. Xiaowu, quickly enter the house and move the things. We’re preparing to leave…”

Before he could finish, he was shocked!

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely and followed his gaze. Then, her eyebrows twitched!

Behind him, other than the sleepy Su Ergou, there were also Wei Ting and three little radishes.

The three little ones each carried a small bag and looked at her with big eyes!

Wei Ting did not carry a bag… He shamelessly hung his bag on Su Ergou’s shoulder.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “What’s going on?”

Wei Ting carried the three brats to the door and said without changing his expression, “Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu can’t bear to part with you and want to go with you.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m going to do business. I might not have time to accompany the children.”

Wei Ting sighed. “Then I can only reluctantly come along to take care of them.”

Hey, they were his sons, to begin with, okay? What did he mean by reluctantly taking care of them?

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “But what will happen to the family’s business if you leave? If father sells pancakes alone… He won’t be able to handle it.”

The business was too popular now. The pastries were almost snatched up as soon as the stall was set up. At least two people were needed.

“Xiaoyong.” Wei Ting called Li Xiaoyong, who was washing salted duck eggs in the backyard.

“What’s the matter, Big Brother Wei?” Li Xiaoyong asked.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Do you know how old he is? Why are you calling him Big Brother Wei? Why do I feel that he’s actually younger than you?”

Wei Ting said, “Follow my father to the street to sell pancakes later.”

Li Xiaoyong’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”

Wei Ting added, “Xiaoyong is not bad-looking.”

The three little ones used their cuteness and blinked at Su Xiaoxiao. They didn’t say anything and just stared deeply.

It was as if as long as Su Xiaoxiao said no, their young hearts would be greatly hurt. They were going to become three pitiful worms without a mother.

Xiaohu hugged the bag and raised his hand, singing sadly.

“Little cabbage ~ The land is yellow ~ Two to three years old ~ Without a mother ~”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
