Chapter 152 - 152 Reunion
152 Reunion
They ran into the soft and familiar embrace, breathing in the breath that made them feel at ease.
“Mother, Xiaohu misses you.”
It was rare for Xiaohu to speak before his two brothers.
Dahu and Erhu also expressed that they also missed their mother very much.
As the saying went, a child with a mother was a treasure. Without a mother, they were three mere stalks of gra.s.s.
For the past few days, they had been eating their grandfather’s gra.s.s every day!
How disgusting!
Su Xiaoxiao patted their heads and rubbed their chubby faces.
They were quite cold.
“Have you been waiting long?” she asked.
Xiao Hu said seriously, “I waited.”
It took Su Xiaoxiao a while to realize that Xiaohu had been waiting since morning.
She was puzzled. Where did he get that accent from?
She had spent three days in the prefecture capital and two days in the carriage. It would be a lie to say that she was not tired. However, when she looked at the three cute little packrats, it was as if… her fatigue had dissipated a lot.
Dahu and Erhu also expressed their longing for their mother.
At the same time, they also complained about the grannies!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I won’t abandon you.”
One could say that these villagers were very malicious, but that was not the case. One could say that they did not have any malicious intentions and they did hurt the child.
“Daya, your Auntie Feng was just joking.” Auntie Liu tried to smooth things over and said to the rest, “Don’t make such jokes again in the future.”
They looked at the viciousness between Little Bully Su’s eyebrows. How could they dare to disagree?
The happiness of the three little ones returned!
She had only been gone for three days, and the three of them spoke more fluently. Children really changed every day.
“Where’s Uncle Ergou?” Erhu asked.
Perhaps because they were both the second child of the family, Erhu often paid attention to this unreliable uncle.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In the carriage.”
Su Ergou was sleeping soundly in the carriage. Xiaowu shook him for a long time without waking up.
The three little ones quickly climbed into the carriage. They covered their eyes and sighed as they looked at their uncle, who was drooling and sleeping soundly.
They really didn’t want to admit that they knew him.
The three little ones took a deep breath, opened their mouths, and shouted, “Sell… snacks!”
Su Ergou opened his eyes. “Come, come, come… Here it comes! How many do you want?”
Hahaha!
The villagers burst out laughing!
There were not many carriages in the countryside. The villagers surrounded the carriage and looked at it for a while. After Su Xiaoxiao left with her brother and the three little ones, they were still looking.
Xiaowu also wanted to break out of the encirclement, but how could his combat strength compare to that of the aunties?
The auntie couldn’t stop the carriage, so they stopped him.
“Yo, this carriage is expensive, right?”
“That’s a tall horse. Taller than a man.”
This horse had a gentle temperament. At first, the villagers did not dare to approach it. There were a few bold men standing behind it. After obtaining Xiaowu’s permission, they touched the horse a few times.
It was different from touching a cow!
“Little brother, where’s your carriage?”
“Our manager hired this for the boss.”
“Who’s your boss?”
“Miss Su is our boss!”
When the villagers heard this, they were shocked!
Fatty Su had become the boss!
She even hired a manager and a carriage!
“Was… Fatty is that powerful?”
Xiaowu knew that Fatty Su was Miss Su.
He smiled and said, “That’s right. If she’s not good, can she do business in the prefecture?”
Although they might not have any business in the future, it did not stop him from bragging.
The skill of bragging could be said to have been pa.s.sed down from Su Xiaoxiao to Manager Sun and then to Xiaowu. It was perfect!
If Manager Sun hadn’t warned him in advance, he would have bragged about the glorious feat of the boss extorting the Prefecture Lord.
The villagers were envious of the Su family. The family that used to be the worst was now richer than the Old Master Su’s family.
Speaking of that Su family, sigh, things haven’t been peaceful recently.

Su Xiaoxiao was home.
Father Su finally had his daughter back. His heart, which had been hanging in the air for three days, relaxed as tears streamed down his face. “Daughter! You’re finally back!”
Little Wu and Liu Ping were in the backyard counting the ingredients they needed for tomorrow. When they heard the commotion, they hurriedly put down their work and walked out.
“Daya!” Little Wu’s eyes lit up.
Liu Ping muttered, “Wifey, you don’t even look at me like that!”
“Father, Sister Wu, Brother Liu.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted everyone. “Eh? Where’s Wei Ting?”
“He’s in the house.” Su Cheng shouted toward the small east room, “Son-in-law! Daya is back!”
Wei Ting opened the door and walked out of the east room with a cold expression on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao was used to his ice-cold face. If he really smiled at her one day, she would think that she had seen a ghost.
However, the feeling of having a whole family… was not bad.
...
Little Wu said to her eldest daughter, “Meizi, bring your sister out to play.”
“Yes!” Da Meizi went to the backyard to look for her sister, who was sitting on a small stool and eating the shortbread obediently. The two sisters went to play together.
The three little ones also knew that the parents were going to talk about serious matters. They were very sensible and did not make a fuss. They went next door to look for Niudan.
There was a lot of good stuff today. When he saw the three little kids coming over, he immediately showed off.
“I have a new slingshot! You don’t!”
Dahu said, “My mother is back.”
“So what if your mother is back? Is she as good as my new slingshot?”
Niudan tried bragging again, “I, I have sesame candy! I just bought it!”
Xiaohu said, “My mother is back.”
Niudan insisted, “My, my, my, my father made me a top!”
Xiao Hu said proudly, “My mother is back, hehe!”
Awesome.
Ah! He was bragging in vain!

The family sat down in the central room and held an informal family meeting.
Su Xiaoxiao placed a banknote worth 100 taels on the table. The entire family was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it forty-five taels?
Why, why was it so much?
Su Xiaoxiao continued to dig.
Two, three, four, five!
A string on Father Su’s head snapped!
He looked at his chubby daughter with a complicated expression. “Daughter, you… did you go to the prefecture capital to rob?”
Little Wu and Liu Ping’s gazes shifted from the banknotes to Su Xiaoxiao’s face.
Did she really resort to robbery?
It was five hundred taels!
How many villages had she robbed?
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, “Father, what are you talking about? We’ve already retired. How can I rob others?”
Little Wu and Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief.
The next second, they heard Su Xiaoxiao say, “I did run some errands for someone and asked for some money.”
The two of them were puzzled
Father Su asked in a daze, “Who did you extort?”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand casually. “It’s just a prefecture lord. No, I’m not extorting!”
Duang!
Father Su fell off his chair!
