Chapter 31 -31 Minced Meat

“My goodness, really!”

“You’re saying that woman has the nerve to come back? She turned Family Court into a mess; if it were me, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face.”

“Oh my, that woman is like tough meat; she’s got nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“Exactly, exactly, her thick skin is like the ground back in our hometown, super thick.”

“Hahaha…”

A group of women laughed out loud, bending over backward with laughter.

Susu, who was trying to locate her home based on memory, was suddenly startled and turned around to look.

She thought to herself what a loud voice, almost making her hands tremble and drop the food she was holding.

Susu, curious, surveyed her surroundings; so this was the “tubular building,” both sides of the hallway were packed full.

Pushing the door open, she found a rectangular room, simply furnished but clean and bright.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Having been prepared for a major cleanup, Susu was stunned in amazement.

Everywhere she looked was clean and tidy, even the double bed near the wardrobe had its quilt neatly folded, and the bedsheets were smooth without any wrinkles.

“Not bad, this person is really capable!”

“Lu Gong’an, you’re off work.”

Lu Xiaoting nodded to the chattering group of old women, “Hmm.”

“Xiao Lu, you should quickly go home and check it out, your wife came back this morning.”

An old woman, holding a shoe pad, kindly reminded him.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoting paused his steps, thanked the old woman, and hurried home.

“Tsk tsk tsk, just wait, there’s bound to be a commotion at Lu Gong’an’s home, it’s going to be noisy at noon.” An old woman smacked her lips, sure of it.

“Ah, poor Mr. Lu Gong’an, to end up with such a wife.”

“So annoying, we had some peace for a while, and now it’s starting up again, such bad luck.”

Watching the figures come and go through the gate, the man’s Adam’s apple moved, and he quickly stepped forward.

“Wife.”

Hearing the voice, Susu turned around, holding a plate in each hand, smiling, “You’re back, just in time for dinner, go wash your hands and let’s eat.”

“Okay.”

Susu set the table and looked up to meet the man’s deep eyes, “Why are you staring at me like that? Come on, eat.”

“Why didn’t you call? I could have picked you up.” Lu Xiaoting furrowed his brows slightly.

Susu casually replied, “I know the way. Besides, I thought you might be busy.”

“Right, the courtyard we talked about earlier, is it far? If not, let’s go see it after we eat. If it’s far, never mind.”

“Not far.”

After dinner,

The couple appeared together, causing quite a stir in Family Court.

Walking through, Susu was quite satisfied with the location, with a Police Station nearby, plenty of people around, and convenient access to places.

An old man with a rattan fan led them into the courtyard.

“This is also because my son got a job transfer recently, it’s inconvenient for him to live here, and we old folks need to help with our grandchild, so this house just became available.

Take a look around, if it’s suitable, we can settle it today, thirteen dollars a month.”

With that, the old man moved a small stool to the side of the wall to cool off, not minding the young couple.

This courtyard was a bit smaller than the one they rented in the county, which was also twelve dollars a month, but a higher price in Provincial City was expected.

Susu looked up at the man, “What do you think?”

“I’ve seen three houses; after comparing them, I think this courtyard is the most suitable.”

“Okay, let’s take this place then.”

Because the old man was averse to trouble, both parties finalized the rental agreement that afternoon, paying half a year’s rent upfront.

Looking at the woman’s blushing face, Lu Xiaoting chuckled, “Are you this happy?”

“Of course, now that the house is sorted out, I can start hiring people in the Provincial City soon and set up a stall. The money will quickly flow into my pocket.”

The more Susu thought about it, the more excited she became, wishing she could start working immediately.

“You better head to work now, I’ll be back in the county after I finish cleaning this afternoon.”

Susu didn’t notice the man’s gloomy dark eyes, she continued to talk about herself and reminded him to contact her as soon as someone applied for the job.

“Wife, how about not returning until tomorrow?”

“That won’t work, I’ll be away for a day and my mother will be all alone at home. Besides, I promised Xiao Yu I’d be back tonight.”

Lu Xiaoting: “…”

Susu quickly cleaned the new yard and caught the last bus of the afternoon back to the county.

As soon as she reached her doorstep, she saw a little one propping his chin with both hands, eagerly waiting.

Like a little cannonball, Xiao Yu “whooshed” his way over to her.

“Auntie.”

“Xiao Yu, have you been good at home with grandma today? Did you miss Auntie?”

Susu patted the little fellow’s head and asked twice with a smile.

The little guy nodded vigorously, “Hmm, hmm, hmm, Xiao Yu was very good. I missed Auntie a lot.”

Mrs. Lu, holding a shovel, peeked out half of her body and said cheerfully, “You don’t know, Xiao Yu has been talking about you since this morning. As soon as you arrived, he carried his small stool and ran to the yard gate to wait for you.”

“By the way, did you like the yard?”

Susu nodded, “I liked it, it’s not far from the Family Court, just near the Police Station.”

…

Provincial City, Family Court.

Lu Xiaoting entered the house and sighed as he looked at the empty room.

Two days later

“Xiao Sun, make sure everything at home is settled. Tomorrow, we’ll catch the earliest bus to the Provincial City.”

Just having answered a phone call at the alleyway, Susu entered and saw Xiao Sun packing marinated goods into a basket with Xian Yue.

“Yes, everything is settled. The Provincial City isn’t far anyway, and I’ll come back every three to five days to check. Once I save some money, I’ll bring my grandparents to the Provincial City too.”

Seeing Xiao Sun’s blushing face, Susu thought he was just shy and didn’t think much of it.

“Alright, you go ahead.”

…

“Sister Hong, how did it go with your husband?”

Susu asked Wang Hong, who was wiping her sweat.

Wang Hong took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

“My husband and I have discussed it. He’ll take care of the home and the kids, and I originally thought of commuting daily between home and the Provincial City. But considering the daily 50 cents fare, it adds up a lot over a month. I didn’t even realize I could earn that much in a month, so I decided to go to the Provincial City to earn more money to get my husband’s illness treated faster.”

“Okay, see you at the bus station tomorrow, Sister Hong.”

Afraid that Sister Hong might say something emotional again, Susu quickly changed the subject.

Hearing that he would be going to the Provincial City tomorrow and wouldn’t be coming back for a while, the little one stuck to Susu’s side all night.

Looking at his tightly pursed little lips, clearly wanting to follow her, but not voicing it, Xiao Yu.

Susu touched the little guy’s head, “Auntie will be very busy every day once I’m there, and I won’t be able to take care of Xiao Yu. But I promise you, once the business in the Provincial City steadies, I’ll bring you along, okay?”
