Chapter Thirteen It's All For the Good
"Of course not, why is it so complicated?"
Gu Jingcheng also figured out Su Xiaomu's temperament. A young lady who looked soft and frail could speak so harshly, with each sentence becoming more and more sarcastic.
Now he somewhat understood that she could do business in the streets.
"I only need the boss to give me thirty coins. The boss's life and my kindness to you will be paid in full after I take the money. No one owes me anything."
He spread his hands and asked Su Xiaomu for money. Su Xiaomu was so angry that his teeth itched. Aren't scholars always willing to repay kindness?
Why is this man different?
Gritting his teeth, he counted thirty copper coins from his purse and handed them to him.
"It's only thirty cents. It's worth buying my life. But I don't know who the young master will be willing to marry in the future if he's so fussy!"
Speaking of this, Gu Jingcheng's face turned a little ugly. "No need to worry about it!"
"Haha, of course I don't want to care about it, but in comparison, my husband-in-law is much better than this young man. At least he is not so stingy and venomous, and he is also super nice to me. He never cares if I show up or walk around in the street.
The man selling pancakes in the alley often praises me for my virtue!!"
Su Xiaomu tightened her purse and looked at Gu Jingcheng with wide eyes. It wasn't until she saw that his pupils were slightly constricted that he felt unnatural, then he happily walked out of the alley with the basket in his arms.
“Once the two parties are cleared, there will be no future reunion!!”
But Gu Jingcheng still stood there without moving a step after she left for a long time.
The sly look in her eyes when she left was still in his mind.
When she smiled, there were light dimples on her cheeks, coupled with her big black eyes, which made the coldness on Gu Jingcheng's face melt away a little.
"Are you... already married? Haha, that man must be very courageous."
After Su Xiaomu turned out of the alley, she thought that she hadn't gone to see the Yin family for a long time. Those gangsters had made such a big noise, and she should have known about it when she was selling cakes on the street.
So I took a long detour and found a pastry shop, where I bought two kilograms of mung bean cake and spent six pence.
She carried the wrapped cakes to the city gate, and sure enough she saw Mrs. Yin who had been waiting for her.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here at this time?"
Mrs. Yin took Su Xiaomu's hand. Her hands were sticky, and her palms had been sweating just now.
The hairs on his arms stood up, and his face turned green and white: "There was a commotion on our street just now, and there were a lot of gangsters collecting protection money. Fortunately, I ran fast on the street, otherwise we might have been in vain today."
After Mrs. Yin finished talking to her, she pulled Su Xiaomu up and down and looked her up and down. Her voice was trembling as if she hadn't recovered from the fear: "You were at the end of the street just now. You should have noticed it before my sister-in-law."
.”
"I sold out the cakes early, and then went to the bakery we had been talking about before to buy some cakes. Didn't my sister-in-law say their cakes are delicious?"
Su Xiaomu patted her palms comfortingly. She shook her head with a blank look on her face first, then she picked up the cakes with a faint smile on her face: "I bought two kilograms, my sister-in-law can eat enough today."
.”
"How can I still think about eating cakes? But as long as you are safe, that's better than anything else."
Mrs. Yin didn't dare to think that if something happened to Su Xiaomu in the city, how would she explain to Mr. Li when she got back?
Her heart was so high in her throat that she didn't dare to walk back today. She spent two copper coins to build an oxcart to go back to the village.
After returning home, Ms. Yin happened to meet a woman at the door of the yard who came to ask her for advice on shoe soles. Before she even entered the house, she was taken to the woman's house.
Su Xiaomu saw Mrs. Li sitting in the yard, opened some cakes, took some on a plate and gave them to Mrs. Li to eat.
"Mom, please try it. My sister-in-law said this is the best cake in the city. My sister-in-law said that our whole family loves this. When he and my eldest brother got married, my mother bought a lot of them and put them at the banquet."
Su Xiaomu had a sweet mouth and shouted loudly, which made Li feel relieved. She originally wanted to blame her for spending money indiscriminately, but she couldn't say anything.
The mung bean cake was brought to her mouth. Li had no choice but to take a bite. The sweet cake melted in her mouth, and the sweetness flowed into her heart. No one bought her cakes to eat. Su Xiaomu was
The first one.
But he still said with a straight face, "I don't like to eat. You young people should still eat more of these things."
After saying that, he took the purse Su Xiaomu handed him, counted the money in it and thought for a moment, "Don't use all the money your mother gave you to buy these foods. You should save the money carefully to buy it for San'er."
If you buy these things and use them as food for the whole family, you can come out from here."
"I also want to take it back to honor my mother. My mother is always so kind to me, so why should I use my own money to honor you?"
Su Xiaomu had a clear mind. She knew what Mrs. Li liked to hear, so she continued what she liked to hear: "Didn't my sister-in-law say yesterday that my husband would be back in two days? I thought we would be together a lot in these two days.
Buy some food and keep it at home so that my husband can eat it when he comes back."
After she said the last sentence, she showed a shy look on her face: "I miss my husband very much."
Li nodded in agreement and patted Su Xiaomu's arm.
"Mom, just know that you have the third child in your heart. He is your man. From now on, our family will live by him. Each of you take out one piece of these cakes and we will keep them for dinner. Leave the rest for the third child.
"
Mrs. Li glanced sideways at the two kilograms of cakes and then arranged a place for them to go.
However, Su Xiaomu was very satisfied with this. She thought that one person in the family could only get half of it.
Thinking that her appetite would be satisfied tonight, Su Xiaomu looked at Ms. Li with even more reverence and gratitude.
She looked at her straightforwardly, which made Mr. Li a little embarrassed.
"Quick, quick, go back to your room and rest. It's so windy outside. Why are you here?"
Mrs. Li spent most of her life without a daughter, but now she has a daughter-in-law who is actually more considerate than her daughter.
Thinking that Su Xiaomu had the third child in her heart and put the third child and the family first in everything, she became more satisfied with her and didn't mind letting her live a more comfortable life at home.
