Brother Su frowned, “What nonsense are you spouting? The second brother isn’t that kind of person.”

Su Chenghe picked up on the hidden meaning in his elder sister-in-law’s words and was somewhat displeased, but he hadn’t yet shown any coldness.

“Elder sister-in-law, if you want something, you can go talk to the second sister-in-law. Telling me is useless. Besides, I had asked elder brother already; he had no intentions, so I went ahead and spoke myself.”

Elder sister-in-law Su got anxious and pulled at her own husband, “Why aren’t you going, you…”

“Enough, I’m just not cut out for that. I’m doing quite well in the factory, stop nagging.”

Elder sister-in-law Su didn’t care that the in-laws were present and went on to berate her husband.

Brother Su didn’t say a word, letting his wife rant and rave, completely ignoring her.

Seeing her son being scolded by his daughter-in-law, Aunt got annoyed.

“That’s enough, don’t you know what kind of person elder brother is? Honest people shouldn’t do business. Otherwise, they get cheated without even realizing it.”

…

Su Family’s main branch

“What does mom mean? Is she calling you stupid?”

Brother Su glared, “You only know how to spout nonsense.”

Second branch

“What does mom mean? Is she saying you’re not honest?”

Su Chenghe turned over, “If you keep talking nonsense, get out. Middle of the night and not sleeping, just stirring up trouble.”

…

“Sister Su, my grandparents made…”

Xiao Sun, carrying a basket of wild vegetables, ran into a delicate figure sweeping the yard, pausing in his steps.

He coughed lightly, “You, hello, isn’t Sister Su at home?”

Su Xianyue got startled by the sudden voice from behind and staggered.

“Ah—”

Xiao Sun scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, “Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Su Xianyue, not used to being around strangers, quickly walked towards the house, “Sister-in-law, Xiao Sun is here.”

Susu came out and saw the bewildered Xiao Sun, deciding to tease him.

“Why did you come over?”

Xiao Sun shivered and lifted the basket, saying his grandparents had nothing to do and dug them up from the village.

They couldn’t be found in the county, and they were specially sent over for a taste.

Susu, seeing a basket full of fresh green wild vegetables, was truly happy.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bite of this. When you go back, thank me to your grandparents.”

“No need, no need, it’s nothing special.”

Xiao Sun, a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and quickly glanced inside the house before hurrying back.

Su Xianyue glanced at the closing yard gate again, frowning slightly, then picked up the broom from the ground.

Susu shook her head and didn’t say anything.

In the alley

“My goodness, are these from your second brother’s purchase in the Provincial City?”

“Look at this pattern, it’s really pretty.”

“You two just wait to live a good life.”

Mrs. Lu, addressed by others, squinted her eyes, waved her hand, and corrected everyone.

“They said it’s from the Department Store in Provincial City. I’m so distressed, I can’t stop the kids from being filial.”

“Oh my, I just don’t have such good luck, so envious it could kill me.”

Aunt Wang’s voice boomed loudly, “Why do I see that your Old Lu isn’t wearing new clothes? Only your daughter-in-law bought for you?”

Seeing everyone curiously staring at her, Mrs. Lu laughed and slapped her thigh.

“How could that be? She bought new shoes and a belt for his dad; everything’s bought for family members, even our daughter who’s not at home has her share.”

Listening to everyone’s envious compliments, Mrs. Lu’s face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Inside, the nephew and niece along with a little one had washed up and were lying on the kang, waiting left and right, but still not seeing the old couple return.

It seemed that the elderly couple was truly overjoyed.

Su Xianyue laughed, “Uncle and Aunt must be thrilled. Who knows, they might wait for the crowd at Family Court to disperse before coming back.”

Susu nodded, smiling warmly as she patted the little one’s head, asking if he wanted to accompany her to the Provincial City tomorrow.

Seeing the little one’s eyes light up instantly, the next second his head drooped.

In a buzzing voice, “Xiao Yu won’t go, it will bother Aunt.”

Realizing the little one was worried about burdening her, Susu’s heart felt as though it were clenched tight, both sour and painful.

She touched Little Baldy’s head, “How could it? Xiao Yu can help Aunt with many tasks!”

“Really?”

The little one’s eyes sparkled, and seeing Susu nod, he excitedly raised his little hands.

Counting on his short hands, he listed all the chores he could do.

That’s when noise came from outside, the elderly couple returning after showing off around.

The next morning, as soon as Susu stepped out, she saw the hot, bustling main room, the table full of pots and jars.

When leaving, looking at the big and small bags on the ground, Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“Susu, when you leave, take all this with you. These are all sauces made from Mom’s recipes, perfect for noodles or meals,

And there’s also pickles and meat from home, all your favorites.”

“Mom, this is too much.”

Before Susu could finish, her mother-in-law interrupted, “Not too much, not too much, Mom will carry them over for you.”

The car slowly moved, and Mrs. Lu’s figure gradually disappeared from the window.

Seeing the things on Sister Hong’s and Xiao Sun’s laps, Susu felt both amused and warmly touched.

Arriving alone in a strange world, to have met such a loving family was truly fortunate.

“Susu, should we help deliver these things to Family Court first?”

Susu shook her head, watching Curious Xiao Yu look around.

The four of them went straight to the yard.

In the yard, two people had already started to get busy, and the others didn’t sit idle either. After washing their hands, they began to work.

“Aunt, let me help too.”

The little one somehow got a small stool, sat down, and got right to work.

Susu didn’t stop Xiao Yu’s actions, but continued to encourage the little one.

Family Court

After a busy day, Susu led Xiao Yu, carrying things back to Family Court.

Some people saw them and asked curiously.

“What? Is this the son of Yang Police?”

“Yes, he’s not so busy lately, so I brought Xiao Yu over.”

Susu chatted with the people for a while, then led the little one upstairs.

Leaving behind a group of stunned women.

“I reckon that’s the kid, he’s gotten quite plumper.”

“Looking at him tells you how well they treat him, it seems Little Lu’s wife has really changed.”

No one dared to bring up the recently hot topic of “abandonment” that had spread through Family Court.

“Xiao Yu, this is our home, sit down, and Aunt will quickly make some food.”

After Susu said this, the little one volunteered eagerly, raising his little hand to help.

Unfortunately, unlike back in the old home where there was a courtyard and a big pot, it was a coal stove.

Xiao Yu didn’t need to tend the fire, but tiptoed to watch.

“Uncle——”

Susu was startled by the little one’s loud call, looking up to see the little one rushing to a man’s legs.

Lu Xiaoting scooped up Xiao Yu in one swift motion, striding towards his little woman with a smiling curl of his lips.

“Wife, you’re back.”

Susu lowered her head, her face flushing as she averted her gaze, pretending to be composed.

Damn! She was seduced by this man again!
