Chapter 81 - 81 Li Xiaoshan

81 Li Xiaoshan

“Su Qing, what’s wrong with you?” It made her wonder if she had spoken too harshly and not paid attention to her method of approach.

“I-I just remembered that our house’s stove was so cold last year that we didn’t even have dumplings,” The villagers had no money to cook dumplings as they wished. Not only were they troublesome, but they also didn’t have refined flours.

Last year, during the new year, the original character made a big scene at home because of getting a live-in son-in-law.

“That’s all in the past. You’re the second child in the family. How can you cry?” Su Wen comforted her after a moment of silence. Don’t cry. Eat more if you like it. I made a lot.”

“Yup! Second sister, don’t cry anymore.” Little sister Su acted like an adult and an elder.

Su Qing wiped her tears hard and glared at little sister Su. “Shut up. I don’t need you to tell me.” It was embarrassing to cry in front of her sister and Su Xiu. She rarely cried in the past.

Even if she did cry, she would hide and cry alone.

Little sister Su made an ugly face and continued eating her dumplings.

Su Wen wasn’t very hungry. After eating, she cooked another big bowl of dumplings and carried it in a basket to the village head’s house. When he arrived, Wang Chunyan had not eaten yet. She was sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air and waving the fan in her hand.

The weather was getting hotter. It was so stuffy at home that she couldn’t bear to light an oil lamp, so she might as well cool down in the yard.

Her eldest daughter-in-law was busy cooking in the kitchen while her daughter Li Xue sat on a small stool and played with the flower-flipping rope with her little nephew.

Speaking of which, Wang Chunyan was a blessed person. She had three sons and a daughter. Her eldest son had already married and given birth to a three-year-old boy. His name was Li Xiaoshan, and he was cute.

Wang Chunyan’s heart ached.

The last time Su Wen was here was during a busy day. My son and daughter-in-law are working in the fields. Li Xue worked at the town radio station and only returned at night.

That was the first time Su Wen had seen Wang Chunyan’s other family members.

However, she was not reserved and greeted him warmly as soon as she entered. Wang Chunyan was happy to see her. On the other hand, Li Xue snorted coldly and returned to her room.

Su Wen was confused, but she didn’t take it to heart.

Many people in the village hated her, so it was normal for Li Xue to dislike her.

“Wen, have you eaten?” Wang Chunyan asked enthusiastically, “if you haven’t eaten yet, have dinner at my house.”

“I’ve already eaten.” Su Wen placed the basket on the ground and took out a large bowl from it. The fragrance of the freshly cooked dumplings attracted Li Xiaoshan, who was playing nearby. He bit his thumb and looked at Su Wen curiously.

Wang Chunyan was shocked. “Wen, you… Where did you get the dumplings?”

“I made it myself and specially sent them for you to try.” Su Wen smiled at Li Xiaoshan and said, “Xiaoshan, try my cooking.”

Who knew that the silly and cute Li Xiaoshan would tilt his head and say in disdain, “Wen, who would dare to eat your cooking?” The little guy had heard his grandmother complain about Su Wen’s poor cooking skills. The pigs wouldn’t even eat the rice she cooked.

Su Wen was speechless.

Was her cooking so bad that even a three-year-old kid knew about it?

Although it was the original character’s fault, it was still embarrassing to be despised by a brat!

Wang Chunyan pretended to scare Li Xiaoshan and slapped him. “What are you shouting for? Grandma is the only one who can call her Wen. You have to call her aunt.” According to age, Su Wen called her aunt one generation older than Xiaoshan.

No matter how close one’s relatives were in the same village, they would be counted according to seniority. They could randomly call anyone older than themselves aunt, and there was no need to be so particular.
