Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Ice Cream

Chapter 25 -25 Ice Cream

“Really gave her a lot of face, coming back and sulking all day long. People who don’t know might think I owe her money. To think I actually cared whether she came back or not. Why did he marry such a thing?”

Seeing someone curiously peeking, Father Lu closed the courtyard door, “Don’t be upset anymore. That’s just how our eldest son’s wife is. Don’t stoop to her level and upset yourself.”

Susu watched her fuming mother-in-law but didn’t want to speak ill of her behind her back.

“Mom, don’t be angry. You still have me as a daughter-in-law.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Susu glared at her husband unhappily.

Little did she know, her husband said seriously, “Am I lying? Just ask our mom.”

Mrs. Lu’s fury immediately turned into smiles, “That’s true. Which old lady in the Family Court doesn’t envy me? A filial daughter-in-law who’s also capable.”

“Yeah, it’s true,” Father Lu nodded.

Susu covered her face, shoving the snacks into her husband’s arms with a bit of grit.

“Hurry and go, don’t miss your train.”

Lu Xiaoting smiled lightly, patted the little lady opposite him on the head, and said in a deep voice, “Wife, I’ll come back next week.”

Wrapped in her husband’s hormone-filled, sexy, magnetic voice, Susu’s cheeks uncontrollably heated up, and she glared at him.

“Go on, get going!”

Lu Xiaoting, tickled by his wife’s cute behavior, licked his cheek, squinted his eyes, and got up to leave.

“Phew~”

Susu touched her hot cheeks, met her mother-in-law’s teasing gaze, and embarrassedly hid in the kitchen.

Life for the family returned to its peaceful, mundane busyness.

Ice Cream Factory

“Brother Liu.”

“Xiao Su is here. Just wait, I’ll finish up what I have in my hands and then stock you up.”

“No rush, you go ahead, Brother Liu.”

Having said that, Susu directly biked to a shady spot to wait.

“Hey, Xiao Su, you’ve managed this mountain bike nicely, even added a canopy.”

…

After leaving the ice cream factory, Susu peddled the mountain bike slowly, starting to hawk her goods.

“Ice cream! Chilly, refreshing ice cream!”

“Cool, delicious ice pops, sweet and creamy milk bars~”

“Ice cream, ice cream, delicious ice cream.”

…

Unable to withstand the children’s nagging, adults directly hailed the slowly moving mountain bike.

“Hey, how much for the ice cream?”

“Ordinary ice pops are three cents each, cream ice pops are five cents each.”

“Mommy, I want a cream ice pop, a cream ice pop.”

A seven or eight-year-old little girl cuddled her mother’s thigh, acting coquettishly.

The young woman tenderly wiped the sweat beads from her daughter’s forehead and took out five cents, “Give us a cream ice pop.”

The little girl handed the cream ice pop to the young woman.

After the young woman lightly touched it to her lips, the little girl carefully licked it, as both mother and daughter’s faces overflowed with happy smiles.

Seeing this, Susu’s face also brightened with a smile. She decided it was best to stop in the shade and continue selling where she was.

In no time, 30 ice creams were sold.

Checking the time, Susu went back to the ice cream factory to get another 30 ice creams, and on her way back home, she also picked up some braised foods.

“Fragrant Su’s braised food, with meat and vegetables, don’t miss out as you pass by.”

“There are also refreshing ice pops~”

…

“Auntie, I want an ice pop.”

The voice was heard, but the speaker unseen.

Susu looked down and saw a little bald head. She almost couldn’t resist the urge to rub the little baldy’s smooth head.

“Aunt, I want an ice pop.”

“Oh, all right.”

Having the wheelbarrow was so convenient, Susu lazily leaned inside the cart, able to grab items for customers who came along.

The weather was hot and dry, and ice cream sold out even faster than braised food.

“Sister Su, sold out already?”

The two bumped into each other in the alley, right as Xiao Sun had just finished picking up goods from the Su Family.

“Yep, all sold out.”

Susu nodded and joked, “Not bad, kiddo. You’re really putting in the effort, keep it up.”

Xiao Sun, a bit embarrassed, scratched his head but with a determined look said, “Yep! I also need to thank Sister Su, otherwise I—”

Susu, who hated sappy sentiments, interrupted Xiao Sun just as he started to express his thanks again.

“Alright, you better hurry and sell your goods so you can head back early.”

“Yep, bye Sister Su.”

After several days, Susu’s ice cream and braised food business was booming, and her daily revenue had increased significantly.

Seeing Xiao Sun across from her, hesitating to speak, Susu slapped his arm, “Spit it out, what is it?”

“Sister Su, I—”

“Come on, be a man. Just say it, stop beating around the bush.”

Watching the man opposite her close his eyes, take a deep breath, Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, as if she was watching someone heading into battle.

“Sister Su, I… I also want to sell ice cream.”

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Xiao Sun quickly added, “It’s not that I won’t sell braised goods anymore, but I want to, like you, sell both. I…”

“Pfft—”

Susu burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face, and after composing herself, she said, “No need to say it, I had the same idea, just wondering how you’d transport them.”

Hearing this, Xiao Sun heaved a sigh of relief, frowning in thought.

“Sister Su, I have a handcart at home.”

Thinking it over, Susu agreed it could work, so they quickly made arrangements.

“Xiao Sun, you start with the handcart, and later I’ll provide you with a bicycle.”

Afterward, Xiao Sun seemed supercharged, full of energy in everything he did.

Golden twilight spilled across the sky, graced with a tangerine hue of Cai Xia.

Mrs. Lu passed a big chunk of meat into her daughter-in-law’s bowl, “Susu, eat more meat. You’re running around so much every day, you look like you’ve lost weight in this little while.”

“Second Sister-in-law has been really busy lately, she definitely needs to nourish herself,” Xian Yue agreed.

In just a short moment, looking at the heap of meat piled up like a mountain in her bowl, Susu quickly picked up her bowl and moved away from the other three.

“Dad, Mom, Xian Yue, stop adding more to my bowl, I’m getting full.”

“You child, why is your appetite so small?” Mrs. Lu frowned.

Watching her in-laws and cousin make frowning faces, Susu hurried to explain to keep them from worrying.

“It’s just the hot weather, it makes my appetite smaller.”

After dinner, the family enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.

They all sat under the eaves to enjoy the cooler air.

“Aunt, lie back.”

Hearing the little guy’s voice, Susu obediently lay down and blissfully enjoyed the single-hand massage from Xiao Yu.

“Feels so good!”

“Xiao Yu, how are you so skilled? Auntie’s waist isn’t sore anymore, back isn’t aching either.”

The little guy’s face flushed, his bright grape-like eyes sparkling.

“I’ll give auntie a massage every day.”

…

Looking over the account books of the last few days, the demand for braised goods was increasing. With Lu Xiaomei busy on her feet all day at home, Susu thought it was time to find a yard dedicated to making braised goods.

Morning

“What? Find which house? Why spend money renting another place when we’re not using our own yard?”

Mrs. Lu heard this and immediately shook her head and waved her hands in disagreement.

“You child, our yard isn’t too small to use, and we’re not leaving, why waste money like that?”
