Chapter 68 - 68: Still Acting Good After Taking Advantage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Li stroked his head and said, “Mother, this isn’t called lying. This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Your grandmother bullied us, so she should pay a price.”

“If she does something bad every time and the punishment is nothing. She will continue doing the same next time. This time, she will be in pain. The next time, she will definitely think twice before doing anything.”

The two little guys nodded, not fully understanding.

Su Li squatted down and looked at them at eye level. She said with a very serious expression, “If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely punish them. We can’t bully others, but we can’t let others bully us casually either.”

He Qingmu nodded vigorously. “I know. If anyone hits me, I’ll hit them back.”

Su Li stroked his little head and said, “Sometimes, force can solve everything, but sometimes, it’s better to solve problems with brainpower instead of force. Therefore, humans still have to use their brains sometimes.’

“Look at how Mother resolved the matter with just a few words just now. Moreover, we even obtained money. Sometimes, we have to learn to borrow strength. ”

Today, she had borrowed the strength of the village chief and his wife to beat up the group of people in the old residence. In terms of brute force, she could not defeat the group of people in the old residence alone. Her advantage might be that she was not afraid of death, but she would not get any benefits. He Qingmu accepted it humbly. “Yes, yes. Mother, I understand!”

Su Li said, “I will protect you, but I will also let you know how to handle everything. When you grow up in the future, you won’t be at a disadvantage.”

The two little guys nodded vigorously. “Mother, don’t worry. We’ll definitely become very powerful when we grow up. No one can bully you.”

“Alright.” Su Li smiled and pinched their cheeks.

She knew that these principles were still too complicated for them. She also wanted them to grow up innocent and happy, but sooner or later, they would spread their wings and soar. At that time, she could no longer protect them. Only by learning their own skills would they not panic when something happened.

Su Li held the children’s hand. The sun had already set, and there were not many people on the way back. The sunlight shone on their bodies, lengthening their figures. It looked very warm.

He Yufeng lay on the bed and kept looking outside. Why wasn’t she back after being out for so long? Could something have happened?

He punched the bed hard. He hated himself for being helpless.

“Dad, we’re back!” It was He Qingmu’s childish voice.

“It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back,” He Yufeng muttered to himself.

After a while, two small people ran in.

“Why did you go out for so long?” He Yufeng asked as he sized up Su Li with his eyes. After confirming that her clothes and hair were not messy, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He Qingmu lay by the bed and said with sparkling eyes, “Father, let me tell you.

Mother is really amazing! She asked Grandma to compensate us today…”

After the two little guys’ exultant performance, He Yufeng roughly understood the entire process.

He looked at Su Li in surprise. This woman had really changed. In the past, because she couldn’t stand being ostracized by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she wanted to split up from the family no matter what. If she had been half as good as she was now, their lives wouldn’t have been so difficult.

He Yufeng looked at Su Li and said, “You…”

Su Li smiled and said, “I can’t stand that kind of people the most, so I’m teaching her a lesson. I’m doing all this for the children. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to be too touched.”

He Yufeng was speechless.

Every time this woman said something, he would be speechless. If he continued to communicate with her, he would probably die of anger.

He Yufeng didn’t want to continue this topic. He looked at Su Li and asked, “Um… how about going to the medical center today?”

After what happened today, he felt that he had to stand up. If he fell, the children would be bullied.

Su Li didn’t hide anything and said truthfully, “I’ve already agreed with Dr. Cheng from Huiren Hall today. He’ll come over the day after tomorrow to perform the surgery on you. If the surgery goes smoothly, you’ll be fine after the surgery.”

He Yufeng couldn’t believe Su Li’s words. “Really? Don’t the doctors of Huiren

Hall not treat patients at their houses? How did he agree to your request?”

Su Li leaned against the door and said without blinking, “Perhaps I’m a lucky person. He said that I’m like an old friend of his. He agreed to my request without thinking.”

He Yufeng: “…” Would you believe me if I said that?

“Is that really the case?”

Su Li spread her hands helplessly. “What else could it be? Or perhaps I’m loved by everyone. When flowers bloom, fish and geese fall, the moon hides because it’s shy. That’s why I’ll definitely succeed.”

He Yufeng turned his head away in disdain. He couldn’t continue chatting with her today!

Su Li reminded him, “Alright, rest well. Don’t think about anything else. Just wait for the surgery.”

She then said to He Qingyao and He Qingmu, who were surrounding the bed, “Hurry up and revise what you’ve learned recently. As the saying goes, learn from what you’ve learned.”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu replied obediently, “Mother, we understand.”

Su Li went out to tidy up the things in the courtyard. Fortunately, no one had suggested coming over to take a look at the scene just now. Otherwise, the truth about these pots and pans would have been exposed.

Although the stove had been broken by Wang Chunhua, it did not stop Su Li from cooking at all. She found a few stones and set up a simple stove before starting to cook.

For dinner, Su Li made sour soup and meat, as well as stir-fried eggs with onions. Because He Yufeng was injured, Su Li made him loofah soup.

She had picked this loofah from Chen Xiang’s vegetable garden. Now that she had a good relationship with Chen Xiang, she had obtained the right to enter and leave the vegetable garden freely.

All three dishes were eaten clean, not even a mouthful of soup was left. Su Li was very satisfied with this. The empty plates and bowls represented their recognition of her culinary skills.

After dinner, Su Li quickly dealt with the pig intestines. There was no fridge now, and she didn’t know if it would stink if she left it for too long. It was better for her to deal with it first.

As for the lard, she planned to let Chen Xiang cook it tomorrow. In the future, Chen Xiang would be her assistant. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to rely on her alone.

Before going to bed, Su Li carried a basin of water into the east room.

He Yufeng’s eyelids twitched when he saw the basin of water. He quickly rejected, “I just wiped my body yesterday. There’s no need to wipe it again today!”

Su Li placed the basin on the ground and wrung out the towel. She said firmly, “You don’t have to eat today after eating yesterday? Besides, I’m not shy as a woman. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out that you’re shy?” As soon as she finished speaking, Su Li reached out to undress He Yufeng.

He Yufeng was speechless.

As Su Li wiped him up, she complained softly, “You’ve already slept with me, yet you still look troubled. It’s very easy for people to think that you’re pretending to be innocent after taking advantage of me..”
