124 Getting Rich

Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”

Manager Sun continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

With that, he turned around and left.

He had been beaten up by the people from the gambling den yesterday and was still injured. In order not to leave a bad impression on the Qi family and affect Su Xiaoxiao’s business, he forced himself to endure the pain in his body and pretended to be nonchalant.

!!

Looking at his staggering back, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Hey, how much do you owe?”

… .

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou returned to the village, it was already evening.

The three little ones were already waiting at the village entrance. They flapped their small arms behind them and kept glancing at the village road.

When they finally saw the familiar fat figure, the three of them couldn’t wait anymore and pounced at Su Xiaoxiao.

Considering that she might return late today, Su Xiaoxiao had informed them in advance last night.

The three of them did not cry, but they missed their mother’s presence.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and the three of them squeezed into her arms, breathing in the aura that made them feel at ease.

“Mom, Dahu misses you so much.”

“Erhu misses you too.”

“Xiaohu misses you the most!”

Perhaps because they had interacted more with their village friends, the three little fellows spoke more fluently than before. Occasionally, they could say a complete sentence in one breath.

Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised by their every growth and change. This was really a strange experience.

It was just that they did not grow much. They still looked like three little radishes.

“Look at what Mom brought you?” Su Xiaoxiao took out three sticks of s.h.i.+ny and red things.

Xiaohu opened his hands. “Wow! Candied hawthorn!”

Although they had already greeted each other, there would still be lingering sadness. Su Xiaoxiao had never raised a child, but some things were easily understood.

The three little ones happily took the candied hawthorn.

“Mother, eat.” The three of them handed her the candied hawthorn.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her chubby hands. “I want to lose weight, so I won’t eat it. Give it to Uncle Ergou.”

The three of them began to play rock-paper-scissors. Naturally, they learned it from the children in the village. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand why they suddenly wanted to play rock-paper-scissors.

She found out when Xiaohu lost.

He sighed and handed a candied hawthorn to Su Ergou with a serious expression. “One!”

Su Ergou was speechless.

—-

Wei Ting was also there.

He was sitting on a stone under a big tree at the entrance of the village.

He was wearing coa.r.s.e linen clothes and had black hair tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin that was only worth a copper coin.

He was clearly dressed like a poor country b.u.mpkin, but he looked like an immortal.

He looked into the distance quietly, thinking about something. He seemed to be enveloped by a faint sadness and melancholy.

“Wei Ting!”

Su Xiaoxiao called him.

Wei Ting restrained his thoughts. His distant gaze changed and he returned to his usual inhumane and cold self.

He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her and the children. The scene seemed to have been frozen.

Smoke rose from the village as she walked towards him, who had long fallen into h.e.l.l.

“Wei Ting, were you waiting for me too?” She placed her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and smiled at him. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Wei Ting calmly s.h.i.+fted his gaze and looked at the three little ones who were fooling around with Su Ergou. “Dahu and the others wanted to come.”

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

“Let’s go back.” He stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the Su family with his walking stick.

Su Xiaoxiao followed closely.

The three little ones ran ahead wildly with Su Ergou. The entire village was filled with their giggles.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed sensibly. “Children are so energetic! After a hard day, I feel like I’m going to collapse. Yet Ergou can still go up to the roof to fiddle with the tiles!”

“Aren’t you a child too?”

“You called me a child. How old are you?”

“Older than you.”

“Of course, I know you’re older than me. You already have three children!”

Wei Ting said nothing.

Since she mentioned age, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Wei Ting, when’s your birthday?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “Why are you asking?”

Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “I’m just asking. My birthday is on the first of December. My father and Ergou have theirs on the 29th of the first month, which is the end of this month. It’s almost time. What about yours?”

...

Wei Ting still did not answer.

Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “It’s said that a woman’s age is a secret, but it’s the other way around with you. Alright, I won’t ask you anymore. I’ll get the kids to tell me.”

Wei Ting said, “First of June.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “61?”

Children’s Day?

No, Children’s Day in modern times was mapped to the solar calendar, and the birthdays of the three little ones were mapped to the lunar calendar.

As the two of them spoke, they arrived home without realizing it.

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged. “I thought this road was quite long, but we reached so soon.”

Wei Ting seemed to have sensed something. His eyes moved, but he did not speak.

Old Master Su had been farming with Auntie Qian for the entire afternoon and was so tired that he was silent. At this moment, he was catching up on his sleep in the house.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t wake him up and gently closed the door.

...

Then, she returned to her room and sat on the stool. She untied the money bag at her waist and poured out a few scattered copper coins.

She had earned 30 taels today. The consultation fee that Xiang Zhonghua had given her previously, as well as the ten taels of snacks and braised meat that she had earned over the past few days, totaled 60 taels.

But there were only a few copper coins left.

She even said that she could return Su Yuniang’s silver!

It was all spent!

Boohoo! How painful!

Creak…

The door opened.

Su Xiaoxiao sat up straight in a second and turned back into the high and mighty little fat peac.o.c.k.

Wei Ting walked over with an indifferent expression and glanced at the copper coin on the table and the IOU in her hand.

The IOU was issued by Manager Sun.

Before leaving today, Su Xiaoxiao gallantly told Wei Ting that she had gone to earn big money, but in the end, she earned an IOU.

In order to avoid being mocked, she quietly put away the IOU. “I saved the silver in the bank! I made a killing!”

She thought Wei Ting would say, “Heh, is that so? Where’s the evidence?”

Unexpectedly, Wei Ting did not say anything else and placed a money bag on her table.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “What?”

“I picked it up.”

Wei Ting said.

His answer did not address her question.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the bag. “Wow!”

Two white silver ingots! Two banknotes worth 50 taels!

She was rich!

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “Wei Ting, is this for my family?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “I already said that I picked it up.”

The thoughts of the man in black, whose pants had been plundered, were: Can you make your story more believable?

For Su Xiaoxiao, this was starting capital!Su Xiaoxiao happily put away the money bag.

“Wei Ting, you’re quite rich!”

Ever since she met Jing Yi and his subordinates on the official road, she had never gone there again.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ting went to dig out the treasure himself!

How could she know that Wei Ting had not dug but extorted?
