Chapter 161 - 161 Lesson

161 Lesson

As the only pitiful baby in the family who had his teeth “pulled out”, Xiaohu had a small reason to be finicky.

He didn’t eat by himself. He wanted someone to feed him.

Su Cheng was feeding him with a small bowl.

He was a little boy. After Grandpa fed him, he wanted Uncle to feed him. After Uncle fed him, he wanted Auntie Su to feed him.

In the end, he even pulled Dahu and Erhu over. “Brother, feed.”

Dahu… Dahu fed him a fist.

At the end of the month, Father Su welcomed his 37th birthday. Su Ergou was also 14 years old.

On the first day of February, Su Yuniang’s child was one month old.

In the countryside, the child had to hold a one-month-old celebration. Su Yuniang recuperated in her maiden home for many days before moving into the Su family’s house.

The Su family told the public that she was not in good health and was in danger. They had to let the physician take care of her at all times.

The villagers were suspicious.

There were a few times when they passed by Little Su’s house and saw Su Yuniang prancing around. She could even settle the accounts and take care of the three children.

Now that her child was one month old, she should return to her in-laws’ house to hold a one-month-old celebration.

Or at least, her in-laws should come to pick up the child.

“It’s a girl, what’s there to celebrate?” Su Can said to the villagers.

It was not uncommon to not hold a one-month-old celebration for a baby girl. However, what happened next stunned all the villagers.

Zheng Lanxiu came to the Su family’s house and gave them a large cart full of Su Yuniang’s belongings.

What did that mean?

Was Su Yuniang chased out by the Zheng family?

The Su family was furious.

Su Can immediately blocked Zheng Lanxiu’s path with his eldest son, Su Dalang. “What does the Zheng family want?”

Zheng Lanxiu snorted coldly. “Why don’t you ask your precious daughter? She’s the one who wants to divorce my brother!”

“What? Divorce?”

Su Can and his son felt like they were struck by a bolt from the blue. They didn’t even remember how they had returned to the Su family.

Old Master Su asked Su Yuniang to come over.

Since Su Yuniang had finished her confinement period, she planned to go to the government office to seal the release letter to let it take effect. Otherwise, she would still be the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family.

“Sis, Grandpa wants to see you,” he whispered.

If it were Dalang and Erlang, Su Yuniang would not have bothered. However, this was the only younger brother of the Su family who was on her side. Su Yuniang did not want to make things difficult for him.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

She was going, not going back.

In her heart, she no longer treated the Su family as her own home.

He lowered his head. “Grandpa wants you to enter from the back.”

He felt that she had embarrassed the Su family.

Fine. She would do as requested.

… .

In the main hall of the Su family, Su Yuniang saw her dignified grandfather, her complaining grandmother, her indignant father, her two disappointed brothers, her pitiless sister, and her weak and helpless mother.

This was the family she had been with for so many years. It was really heartbreaking.

“San Lang, go with your mother to the kitchen to cook,” Old Master Su instructed.

Su Sanlang gave Su Yuniang a worried look.

Su Yuniang patted his shoulder assuringly. “Big Sister is fine. Go.”

Su San Lang and Madam Fang went to the kitchen.

Old Master Su’s face darkened. “What’s going on between you and the Zheng family?”

Su Yuniang said frankly, “I divorced Zheng Yuanbo.”

The entire family gasped.

Zheng Lanxiu was not lying. This girl had really divorced him!

Old Master Su slammed his palm on the table. “How dare you!”

Su Yuniang did not say anything.

In the few days she had stayed with the Su family, she had learned one thing from Su Daya, and that was to not waste her breath on people who did not understand her.

Those who understood didn’t require you to explain. For those who didn’t, it was useless no matter what you say.

Her maternal family would not care that Zheng Yuanbo had a vixen by his side, nor would they consider the torture and disgust she felt when she faced a scumbag and a concubine every day.

They only wanted Su Yuniang to continue being the daughter-in-law of the main family in Shallow Water Village.

Su Dalang frowned and said, “Sister, you’ll make us unable to raise our heads in the village.”

Su Yuniang asked, “That’s more important than whether I’m doing well or not, right?”

Su Dalang said coldly, “Why aren’t you living well? Brother-in-law dotes on you very much, and your parents-in-law also value you. Go to the village and ask. How many wives can receive such treatment accorded to you?”

It was true that Zheng Yuanbo doted on her, but he also betrayed her.

Her parents-in-law thought highly of her. However, didn’t they still choose to keep Ah Xiang at home after hearing that she couldn’t give birth and wasn’t as rich as Ah Xiang?

She knew that she was doing something shocking. Perhaps she was born rebellious.

“Where’s the release letter?” Old Master Su went straight to the point.

Compared to the others who only knew how to use words to suppress Su Yuniang, Old Master Su clearly knew how to grasp the pertinent points.

The release letter needed to be stamped in the government office, and Su Yuniang had been in confinement. In other words, she had not had the chance to legitimize the release letter.

Su Xiaoxiao went to set up a stall today.

When the regular customers saw her, they immediately felt that it had been a long time.

It couldn’t be helped. Father Su was too cruel, scaring a few girls to tears.

Even so, Su Ji’s business was still getting more and more popular. Wasn’t it infuriating?

“Eh? Girl, have you lost weight again?”

An aunt asked.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Ah, I’ve lost some weight.”

She had secretly weighed herself again last night and found that she lost another twenty pounds.

If the first month’s 20 pounds did not seem to have made a difference, the second month’s weight loss of 20 pounds could not be more obvious.

The cuffs of her sleeves were loose, her collar less taut, and the flesh on her cheeks lessened.

Before, she panted heavily when she took three steps and sweated profusely when she took five. Now, she was a light and chubby girl.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t lose weight for others to see. She wanted a healthy body.

Compared to the external changes, what delighted her more was the continuous strengthening of her body.

If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before she could recover… half of her strength from her previous life.

Why half?

It was all because this body was special.

In her previous life, she did everything with half the effort. Now, it was the other way around.

Soon, the pancakes were sold out. Su Xiaoxiao closed the stall and went to the market with Su Ergou to buy ingredients.

Su Ji had made a name for itself in town, and the boss of the shop knew Su Xiaoxiao. They knew that someone called Liu Ping would come to pick up the goods for her later.

The siblings walked back to the village.

On the way, Su Ergou suddenly said, “Sister, have you noticed that the people from Jin Ji have not come to find trouble with us recently?”

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.

They had robbed Jin Ji of their business. Logically speaking, Jin Ji should hold a grudge and find an opportunity to take revenge.

Even if they were afraid of Old Madam Qi, they could secretly cause trouble as long as they did not blow up their stall in public and did not let anyone catch them red-handed.

But Jin Ji… didn’t seem to have moved.

This had to start with Yuchi Xiu.

Yuchi Xiu had tied up Manager He before he went to the prefecture capital.

With a raise of his hand and a slash, Manager He turned into a bald chicken.

From the beginning to the end, Yuchi Xiu didn’t even give Manager He a frontal view.

He stood under the moonlight with his back facing Shopkeeper He, looking cool and arrogant.

“Be good, or you’ll die next time!”

Manager He thought to himself,” What do you mean by being good? Listen to who? What do you want me to do? Where did this idiot come from? Tell me clearly before you leave!”
