After breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to collect the bowls.
She hummed a tune as she swiped.
Su Yuniang walked over with the little darling who had been in her arms for more than a month and leaned against the door frame.
The little darling blew milk bubbles leisurely.
Su Yuniang looked at her daughter dotingly and looked at Su Xiaoxiao unhappily. “Are you quite happy to be able to go to the capital?”
Su Xiaoxiao washed the pot and raised her eyebrows. “Am I?”
Su Yuniang snorted. “Why not? I think you’re about to go to heaven!”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and said seriously, “I’m not very happy. It’s so-so.”
“Huh.”
It would be strange if she believed Su Xiaoxiao!
Su Yuniang was not one of the women in the village who did not dare to travel far. She also yearned for the world outside. She only hated herself for not being a man. Otherwise, she would have ventured out long ago.
Therefore, she could empathize with Su Xiaoxiao.
“Yuniang, do you want to go with me?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Yuniang looked down at the little fellow in her arms who was blowing milk bubbles at her. “If I go, who will take care of this little fellow?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Looks like you still remember that you’re a mother.”
Su Yuniang said coldly, “Su Daya, are you itching for a beating?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Who gave her daughter to Sister Zhao every other day?”
Su Yuniang choked.
After Su Yuniang tasted the sweetness of being a hands-off shopkeeper, Su Yuniang’s daughter was about to become a frequent guest of the Li family.
Although the two of them bickered, they knew in their hearts that Su Yuniang wanted to go to the capital to explore the wider world. However, her daughter was too young for her to leave.
She couldn’t let her baby accompany her day and night, unlike Su Xiaoxiao in her previous life who could take a plane and high-speed rail.
In ancient times, carriages could really skin people alive in a month.
“When she is a little older,” Su Yuniang said.
“Alright.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She thought of something and sighed wistfully. “The business of the shop…”
Su Yuniang interrupted a certain chubby la.s.s. “I can’t manage your business!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Okay.”
“Here.”
Su Yuniang placed a money bag on the stove.
Su Xiaoxiao picked it up and weighed it. “Silver? That much?”
“I’m lending you money!” Su Yuniang said calmly. “I know that Wei Ting treats you well, and I know that he doesn’t look like someone who lacks money. However, we women have to have some self-respect. If anything happens, we can stand tall.”
The reason why Su Yuniang could be so unyielding in the Zheng family was that she could earn money. The Zheng family treated her like the G.o.d of Fortune.
She understood that Su Daya was more capable than her, but Wei Ting was clearly not from a small family like the Zheng family.
To put it bluntly, Su Yuniang was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would be bullied in the capital.
Although she was most likely worried for nothing. After all, it had always been this girl who bullied others.
Su Xiaoxiao held the money bag, her heart burning.
“Yuniang.”
“What?”
“Are you interested in investing in Su Ji?”
Su Yuniang had done a lot of accounting with Su Xiaoxiao. She understood what it meant to invest.
She snorted. “Who cares about your business!”
Even so, she returned to the house to pack her things and moved to town that night.
The three little ones swept away the haze from yesterday and happily shook their heads in the backyard. Then, the three of them valiantly led the foal to say goodbye to Niudan and their friends in the village.
They were finally going to send away three little bullies. Their friends heaved a sigh of relief!
Su Xiaoxiao went to Spring Willow Lane to see Physician Fu.
“You… have decided to go for the consultation?”
Physician Fu was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, I’ve decided. I came to tell you.”
Physician Fu smiled. “Good, good, that’s great! If you go, there should be hope for the Old Marquis’ illness.”
Su Xiaoxiao paused and asked, “What kind of person is the Old Marquis you mentioned?”
Physician Fu recalled, “Actually, I haven’t seen the Old Marquis much. I only followed my father to the Marquis’s Estate a few times when I was young. In my impression… the Old Marquis is a serious person. There aren’t many people my father admired in his life. Old Marquis Su is one of them.”
Su Xiaoxiao had a preliminary impression of this old man.
Thinking of something, Physician Fu asked, “However, why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, I want to go to the capital to take a look.”
Physician Fu did not suspect anything. “It’s good to go out and see the world. I saw it long ago. You’re not an ordinary woman. You might have some great accomplishments in the capital.”
...
The two of them chatted about Old Marquis Su’s condition. Physician Fu dug out all the diagnoses left behind by his father, hoping to help Su Xiaoxiao.
After Su Xiaoxiao left, Physician Fu gently closed the courtyard door and sighed.
He composed himself and walked towards the central room with a calm expression.
Before he could step in, a bag smashed at him!
He was shocked and was forced to catch it.
“Mother?”
He stared dumbfounded at Aunt Fu, who had thrown a bag at him.
Aunt Fu said coldly, “Go if you want!”
Physician Fu lowered his head. “I-I won’t go. What if I go… The capital is so far. It’s not like I can return in two to three days…”
Aunt Fu said, “If you’re not going, I’ll go.”
“What?”
...
Physician Fu was puzzled when a carriage stopped at the door.
The young coachman walked over with a smile and helped Aunt Fu into the carriage.
Physician Fu said in confusion, “Mother, where are you going?”
The coachman smiled and said, “Grandmaster Hui Jue invited Old Madam Fu to stay in the nunnery for a few days.”
Fu Langzhong’s eyes suddenly teared up. “Mother…”
In Apricot Flower Village, Father Su was also saying goodbye to the villagers.
“That’s right. I’m going on a long trip.”
“The prefecture capital? How can that be called a long trip? Who are you looking down on? You can reach it in a blink of an eye. You can’t even be bothered to invite me!”
“Yes, it’s the capital.”
“Who will bring me there? My son-in-law!”
“How? By carriage! Eight horses! What? Didn’t you see? They’re waiting in town. The village road is too narrow. Eight horses can’t cross.”
Father Su stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and placed his hands on his hips, patiently bragging.
Zhu Zhu said, “Mr. Wei is from the capital?”
The villagers’ jaws dropped.
Someone in the capital had become the son-in-law of a fat girl from the countryside. What kind of dogs.h.i.+t luck did the Su family have?
