Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 63 - Angry

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Angry

Chapter 63 -63 Angry

“I’d be thanking my lucky stars if my mother-in-law didn’t point at my nose and criticize this and that,” Xian Yue said.

“Heh, you don’t know my mother-in-law…”

…

Susu hadn’t expected her cotton-padded jacket to spark such a rant from her sisters-in-law, with the vibe that they could go on for days and nights without end.

It was like sitting on pins and needles, like having a thorn in one’s back.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sisters-in-law shifted topics, now talking about their husbands and children.

“I see Xiao Su’s belly isn’t small, it’s gotten as big as mine was around four or five months.”

“Maybe it’s just a lot of amniotic fluid. There was a young wife in my mother’s family with a big belly, but they said it was just the fluid.”

“Xiao Su, are you experiencing any morning sickness now?”

Susu shook her head, “I had a little during the first three months, but it’s mostly okay now, except I can’t stand the smell of fishy scents. It makes me nauseated and want to vomit.”

The sisters-in-law nodded, saying it was normal and things would probably get better after the three-month mark.

Listening to her sisters-in-law share stories about when their kids were young, Susu felt both amazed and scared; just the thought of it overwhelmed her.

…

After sending off the old and the young, Susu didn’t go to the shop, instead staying at home and spacing out.

Now that the business at the flat and the shop was stable, checking up on things every once in a while sufficed. An idea that Susu had long harbored surfaced once again.

That was to open a clothing store.

She had chosen the marinated food business initially because start-up funds were insufficient, the cost of marinated goods was low, and with good taste, they were easy to sell.

Moreover, she didn’t know much about the area as she had just arrived.

Now with the funds available, Susu felt it was time to consider it, especially since there was a vacant storefront.

With her idea in mind, Susu directly put on her thick cotton coat and headed to the flat.

Wrapped tightly in a thick cotton coat and pants, Susu wasn’t cold at all but felt like a duck, waddling as she walked.

“Woo woo woo – Mom made these cotton pants and jacket way too thick.”

Susu clumsily climbed onto the kang bed.

“When Xiao Sun comes back, tell him to come in. I need to talk to them about something.”

“Got it, second sister-in-law.”

With nothing else to do, Susu leaned against the kang bed head, flipping through the account book and considering her trip to Guang City.

While Provincial City naturally had garment factories, their costs and designs weren’t as good as those from the Southern region.

Especially considering Guang City as a major garment wholesale city, Susu figured there weren’t any problems, apart from the distance.

“Second sister-in-law.”

Susu nodded and asked the two to sit down, sharing her plan to open a clothing store with them and her thoughts of having them manage it.

Sister Hong took her time to react, finally realizing Xiao Su was going to open another shop selling clothes.

Then she hesitated, “What about the marinated food shop?”

“Now, I’m just asking for your opinion. If you’re willing, I will arrange for someone else to manage the marinated food shop.”

“Okay, I’ll follow Xiao Su’s lead.”

“Okay, we’ll follow second sister-in-law’s decision.”

Seeing they agreed without asking any questions made Susu smile with amusement and a sense of trust.

“Aren’t you going to ask about your salaries before agreeing?”

Sister Hong waved her hand, unconcerned, “Eh, I’ve put my faith in you, Xiao Su. I trust you.”

“Yeah, I trust second sister-in-law too.”

Feeling trusted like this made Susu very happy, and she nodded.

“Right, I won’t let you down.”

…

Looking at a table full of delicious and aromatic dishes, Lu Xiaoting’s lips curled, and he raised an eyebrow.

“You didn’t do something bad, did you?”

Susu “…”

This guy truly lives up to being a cop, does he have to be so suspicious?!

“No, no, not at all.”

Susu’s lips curled into a sweet smile as she called out to the big and little ones to hurry and wash their hands for the meal.

“Quick, wash your hands or the food will get cold.”

Xiao Yu obediently led the half-doubtful, half-convinced man away.

Susu let out a long sigh of relief and patted her own cheeks.

Relax, relax, don’t be nervous.

“Uncle eats meat, Aunt eats meat.”

The little guy stood up and placed meat in both their bowls.

“Xiao Yu should eat too, have more.”

Susu reciprocated by serving the fattiest pieces of meat to the big and the little one.

People these days lack fat, so they prefer fatty meat dripping with oil rather than lean meat.

Once the big and the little one had cleared the dining table, Xiao Yu sat down obediently at the side, took out his books, and diligently began to work on his homework.

Lu Xiaoting approached his wife, his dark eyes filled with laughter as he gazed straight at the little woman who sat quietly and neatly on the bed.

Susu nervously swallowed and tugged at the man’s shirttail.

“Come closer, I want to talk to you.”

The man raised an eyebrow, “What is it, tell me.”

“Cough, cough.”

Susu cleared her throat, her large eyes filled with a coquettish look, and slowly began to speak.

“I was thinking, since the marinated food store’s business has stabilized and I don’t need to worry about it anymore, I want to open a clothing store and wanted to discuss it with you.”

“A clothing store?”

“Yes.”

Susu nodded, “So, I’m thinking of making a trip to Guang City. I’ve read in the papers that the wholesale clothing industry there is pretty developed, so I thought—”

Before she could finish her sentence, the man coldly cut her off.

“No, you’re pregnant right now; I do not agree.”

Susu pouted, her eyes hopefully fixed on the man whose face had turned cold.

Sensing his tone was perhaps too harsh, Lu Xiaoting softened his voice.

“Traveling to Guang City from here takes roughly two days and two nights. Given your current state with such a big belly, there’s no way I’ll agree to it.”

“But, isn’t it still early for me? Also, I won’t be going alone. I’ll take Cheng He and Xiao Sun with me when the time comes, so we’ll have each other’s company.”

“No, trains are too chaotic; all sorts of people are on them. With your belly, if something were to happen, what would I do with Xiao Yu?”

Lu Xiaoting made it clear that he was firmly against the idea.

Susu was also getting annoyed and glared unhappily at the man.

Xiao Yu, who was near the doorway, overheard their argument and looked worriedly from his uncle to his aunt, his little face scrunching into a baozi frown.

Lu Xiaoting prepared some foot-soaking water and placed it next to Susu’s feet.

“Wife, why don’t you soak your feet?”

Susu sulked and ignored the man, plunging her feet into the water, only to immediately flinch and pull them back due to the heat.

Lu Xiaoting, seeing this, said helplessly, “Be careful, the water’s quite hot, ease your feet in slowly.”

“Hmph!”

Susu didn’t want to talk to the man, so after washing her feet, she lay down with her back to him.

That night, the man was banished to the small bed while Susu cuddled the fragrant and soft Xiao Yu to sleep.

“Aunt, please don’t be angry, okay?”

“Grandma said getting angry isn’t good.”

Susu was amused by the little one’s serious frown.

“It’s okay, Aunt isn’t angry, I was just trying to scare your uncle a bit.”

Xiao Yu gave an ‘Oh’ and, feeling reassured, closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Susu also knew the man was right, but she couldn’t control her little temper.

She glanced at the man whose long legs were half-hanging off his bed, curled her lips into a smile, and fell asleep.
