124 Getting Rich
Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”
Manager Sun continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
With that, he turned around and left.
He had been beaten up by the people from the gambling den yesterday and was still injured. In order not to leave a bad impression on the Qi family and affect Su Xiaoxiao’s business, he forced himself to endure the pain in his body and pretended to be nonchalant.

Looking at his staggering back, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Hey, how much do you owe?”
… .
When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou returned to the village, it was already evening.
The three little ones were already waiting at the village entrance. They flapped their small arms behind them and kept glancing at the village road.
When they finally saw the familiar fat figure, the three of them couldn’t wait anymore and pounced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Considering that she might return late today, Su Xiaoxiao had informed them in advance last night.
The three of them did not cry, but they missed their mother’s presence.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and the three of them squeezed into her arms, breathing in the aura that made them feel at ease.
“Mom, Dahu misses you so much.”
“Erhu misses you too.”
“Xiaohu misses you the most!”
Perhaps because they had interacted more with their village friends, the three little fellows spoke more fluently than before. Occasionally, they could say a complete sentence in one breath.
Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised by their every growth and change. This was really a strange experience.
It was just that they did not grow much. They still looked like three little radishes.
“Look at what Mom brought you?” Su Xiaoxiao took out three sticks of shiny and red things.
Xiaohu opened his hands. “Wow! Candied hawthorn!”
Although they had already greeted each other, there would still be lingering sadness. Su Xiaoxiao had never raised a child, but some things were easily understood.
The three little ones happily took the candied hawthorn.
“Mother, eat.” The three of them handed her the candied hawthorn.
Su Xiaoxiao waved her chubby hands. “I want to lose weight, so I won’t eat it. Give it to Uncle Ergou.”
The three of them began to play rock-paper-scissors. Naturally, they learned it from the children in the village. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand why they suddenly wanted to play rock-paper-scissors.
She found out when Xiaohu lost.
He sighed and handed a candied hawthorn to Su Ergou with a serious expression. “One!”
Su Ergou was speechless.

Wei Ting was also there.
He was sitting on a stone under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
He was wearing coarse linen clothes and had black hair tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin that was only worth a copper coin.
He was clearly dressed like a poor country bumpkin, but he looked like an immortal.
He looked into the distance quietly, thinking about something. He seemed to be enveloped by a faint sadness and melancholy.
“Wei Ting!”
Su Xiaoxiao called him.
Wei Ting restrained his thoughts. His distant gaze changed and he returned to his usual inhumane and cold self.
He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her and the children. The scene seemed to have been frozen.
Smoke rose from the village as she walked towards him, who had long fallen into hell.
“Wei Ting, were you waiting for me too?” She placed her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and smiled at him. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
Wei Ting calmly shifted his gaze and looked at the three little ones who were fooling around with Su Ergou. “Dahu and the others wanted to come.”
“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
“Let’s go back.” He stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the Su family with his walking stick.
Su Xiaoxiao followed closely.
The three little ones ran ahead wildly with Su Ergou. The entire village was filled with their giggles.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed sensibly. “Children are so energetic! After a hard day, I feel like I’m going to collapse. Yet Ergou can still go up to the roof to fiddle with the tiles!”
“Aren’t you a child too?” freeweɓnovel.cѳm
