“Where did you go just now?”
At Old Su’s house, Madam Fang had just come out of her house when she saw Su Jinniang closing the door.
Su Jinniang pointed at the wooden basin in her hand. “Pour water.”
“You applied perfume?” Madam Fang smelled her daughter’s rouge.
Su Jinniang lowered her eyes and said, “No, my ears are frozen. I applied some snow cream.”
Madam Fang nodded and said, “I think I heard you talking to someone just now.”
Su Jinniang said, “I bumped into Su Daya and said a few words.”
Madam Fang said unhappily, “What did you say to her? She framed you tonight.”
Su Jinniang said nothing.
Madam Fang thought to herself, “Is she married? I think this Fat Su is different from before. Her brain has become bright. Look at what she said to Madam Wan tonight. She’s not stupid at all... I heard that she even went to town to do business.”
Su Jinniang said in a low voice, “What business can she do? Mother, don’t listen to nonsense.”
Madam Fang said, “It’s true. Someone saw her go to town with Ergou in the morning and come back in the afternoon. If she didn’t earn money, where would she get the money to buy those grains and meat? Moreover, they haven’t gone to the village to extort money recently.”
Su Jinniang leaned the wooden basin against the wall. “Isn’t there still the betrothal gift that the He family returned? That money is enough for them to squander for a while. When they’re done, they’ll extort money from everyone like before.”
Madam Fang felt that her daughter’s words made sense and sighed. “Aiya, what a sin. How did our village get into trouble with this family?”

In the Su family, the three little ones were standing under the corridor, looking in the direction of Wang Laizi’s house.
It was dark and snowing hard.
When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting returned home, they saw three anxious snowmen.
Wei Ting’s heart suddenly softened. The few brats were not raised in vain.
Just as he was about to walk towards them, he saw the three of them running over and pouncing on Su Xiaoxiao.
Dahu and Erhu each held one of her hands. Xiaohu was a step slower. He wanted to pull her clothes, but he couldn’t. He simply hugged Su Xiaoxiao’s legs with his hands and feet.
Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.
These brats...
Father Su wasn’t back, so Su Xiaoxiao let the three children eat dinner first.
She went to the small east room to treat Wei Ting’s wound.
Wei Ting was already used to her strange medicine.
As soon as she started practicing medicine, she seemed to have become a different person. She was serious and rigorous.
Su Xiaoxiao straightened up and took off her gloves. “You don’t need stitches, but your old injury hasn’t healed yet. Your left calf is swollen again. Do you need me to remind you to rest more?”
“Yes,” Wei Ting agreed calmly.
After a while, seeing that she was not leaving, he asked, “Is there anything else?”
As Su Xiaoxiao packed up the iodophor and cotton swabs, she said casually, “Just that Su Jinniang, she’s the village belle of our village... Although she’s only a little bit worse than me, I still have to give you a friendly reminder. You’re my husband in name now. Don’t cuckold me. You can’t even think about it. Otherwise, I’ll lose face.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Wei Ting looked at the little fat peacock in front of him who was pretending to be proud and smiled. “Yes, she’s better-looking than you.”
Su Xiaoxiao threw a pillow at him!
Scumbag!
A certain someone’s exasperated look really made Wei Ting feel good.
How was Su Jinniang good-looking? He did not look at all.
In the central room, the three little ones slid down from the chair after eating and looked innocently at Su Ergou, who was guarding them.
“Uncle, I miss Grandpa,” Dahu said.
Su Ergou said, “My father will be back soon.”
“Grandpa.”
