"Brother-in-law, you're back." Su Li greeted with a smile.

Xiao Sanlang nodded slightly and stepped in.

"I'm back at Xiangmanyuan, let's chat." He picked up the form Su Yue had drawn and trotted away.

When he reached the door, he poked his head in again and winked at Xiao Sanlang with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, a man must be able to withstand loneliness and temptation, so that he can achieve great things in the future... Ahem,

What I mean is that you have to cherish your body, and even if my sister wants to, you must refuse decisively when it is time to refuse."

Su Yue smashed the pen in her hand and said, "Get out."

Su Li's head disappeared at the door in an instant.

The shop was quiet.

Su Yue touched her nose and said, "Don't listen to Su Li's nonsense."

Xiao Sanlang picked up the pen that Su Yue threw, put it on the table, and said in a low voice, "Which sentence are you referring to?"

Su Yue raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Xiao Sanlang's eyes were bright and his voice contained a slight smile, like a feather gently brushing against Su Yue's heart.

"Is it because Yue Yue never thought of squeezing me dry, or do I have to cherish my body and reject Yue Yue?"

Su Yue squinted her eyes, tsk, this man asked this, how should she answer?

No matter which one you deny, it seems a bit against your will.

She chose to change the subject, "Have you registered? When will the exam be taken?"

Xiao Sanlang didn't wait for her answer. He looked at her deeply and then nodded, "Well, the exam will be held on the sixth day of February in the spring."

"Master Zhou has agreed to accept Qin Mo, but the two of us will not go to the academy to study. We will just come to see Master once a week, submit our homework, and listen to Master's explanation."

Su Yue understood that this meant that Xiao Sanlang and Qin Mo had solid basic skills. They did not need to learn at the same pace as the students in the academy, but Master Zhou was left to work alone.

Calculating the time, by the time of the exam, Xiao Sanlang's legs will be basically healed, and he can throw away the crutches when he enters the exam room.

"There's only a little more than a month until the sixth day of February. From now on, don't worry about family matters and just study with peace of mind."

"Okay." Xiao Sanlang had no objection, and took a look at the account book she had compiled, "How come you haven't seen any improvement in your handwriting after practicing for a few days?"

Su Yue laughed dryly, "Maybe I have no talent for practicing calligraphy."

Xiao Sanlang disagreed, "Diligence can make up for weakness."

Su Yue spread her hands and said with a serious face, "Believe me, I tried my best."

Xiao Sanlang looked at the arrogant handwriting on the account book and said, "From now on, I will practice two words a day. When I'm done..."

His eyes fell on Su Yue's pink lips, and his voice was low, as if to seduce you: "If you practice a word well, I will reward you with a kiss... well, give me a kiss."

Su Yue's eyes lit up, she practiced two words every day, kissed her twice, and got two drops of orchid dew every day.

Nowadays, orchid dew is needed for fish farming, orchid dew is needed for making fish balls and other meat products, and the white tiger grows up and consumes it.

The demand for orchid dew is increasing day by day, and a goodnight kiss every day can no longer satisfy her.

Xiao Sanlang's proposal was too harsh on her.

"Sanlang, I think my handwriting can be salvaged a little more."

She immediately took out a piece of paper from the cabinet and said, "Come on, let's practice now."

Xiao Sanlang shook his head, angry and funny.

This woman is really... so positive after hearing about the kiss.

He felt as if he had touched Su Yue's veins.

Shopkeeper Li came in from the outside and saw Xiao Sanlang holding Su Yue's hand and practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke.

The two figures depend on each other, the man is handsome and dignified, and the woman is pretty and lovely. The picture is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away for a while.

Su Yue raised her head, "Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Li?"

Xiao Sanlang noticed someone, quickly let go of Su Yue's hand, picked up the account book on the side and looked at it.

Shopkeeper Li came to his senses and said, "Ms. Su, there is news about the investigation you asked for."

Su Yue's eyes brightened slightly and she took the letter handed over by shopkeeper Li.

The letter was written by Su Hui, who stayed in the capital.

It has been five years since the Su family returned to their hometown, and there has been no news about Su Hui.

The last time Jiang came to take care of Su Yue, she couldn't help crying when she mentioned Su Hui.

Su Yue was worried about the fact that she agreed to cooperate with Anqingtang on two conditions.

The second condition is to ask shopkeeper Li to find an old acquaintance in Anqing Bofu in the capital to help find out about Su Hui.

Su Hui's letter was not long. It was full of concern for her parents and younger siblings. She said that she was living a good life and please don't worry about her.

Shopkeeper Li took out a purse and said, "Madam Su also sent ten taels of silver with the letter."

Su Yue took the purse. The needlework on it was fine and even, and the plum blossoms embroidered on the satin had been worn to a white color.

She rubbed her purse, "Are you sure my sister is doing well?"

Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment before speaking: "To be fair to Madam Su, there are not many people I know in the capital who are still in the Jiang family. What you want to inquire about is the rear house of the female family members. It is not easy to inquire."

"It took several people in a row to meet Mrs. Su. I heard that Mrs. Su's complexion is not that good, but she is not bad."

The implication is that I didn't get much useful information.

Su Yue frowned, but also knew that it was not easy to force anything.

No matter what, having this letter is somewhat of a comfort to Mr. Jiang.

After sending shopkeeper Li away, Uncle Chen and Chen Erlang came back from fishing.

There were not many people buying fish in the afternoon, so Su Yue decided to go back to Zhuyuan Village first and send Su Hui's letter back to Jiang.

Xiao Sanlang stopped the oxcart at the entrance of the grain and oil shop, "Let's buy some things. There is no reason to go back to your parents' house empty-handed."

Su Yue was surprised, "You want to go with me?"

In my impression, Xiao Sanlang had never been to the Su family again except for the day of his wedding.

Xiao Sanlang raised his eyebrows, slightly tentatively, "Can't I go?"

"Of course." Su Yue chuckled and quickly jumped out of the car, "Wait a moment, I'll go shopping."

She bought some rice flour and oil and quickly put it on the oxcart, and the couple headed all the way to Zhuyuan Village.

The Su family lives in the west end of the village, in two dilapidated thatched houses.

The Su family is an anomaly in the village. Because Su Dehai was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, he was often ridiculed by the villagers.

Su Dehai and Jiang barely interacted with the villagers.

The bullock cart stopped at the door. As soon as Su Yue jumped out of the car, he heard drunken yelling and cursing coming from inside.

"Ms. Jiang, what time is it? I haven't prepared lunch yet. Do you want to starve me to death?"

"You vicious woman, I will beat you to death."

Su Yue frowned and pushed open the courtyard door.

Su Dehai leaned over and put one foot on Jiang's waist, still cursing.

Jiang did not dodge, squatting on the ground with his head lowered and silently picking up wild vegetables scattered on the ground.

"Why are you still standing there? Go and cook for me."

Seeing that Jiang was motionless, Su Dehai raised his feet again.

This kick did not hit Jiang.

Because Mr. Jiang finished picking up the wild vegetables, took the basin and turned around to leave.

Su Dehai's kick missed the point, and he fell to the ground in a miserable state.

He got up angrily and rushed towards Jiang, "I asked you to cook, why are you fussing?"
