Chapter 193: The Den Has Been Overturned

In the end, the shopkeepers all smiled in satisfaction as they sent Su Ying off. Su Ying patted her completely emptied money pouch. It had to be said that her purchasing power was still very strong.

After the goods were delivered to the designated place for her to store in her interspatial store, Su Ying went back to the livestock stall.

To her surprise, there were more livestock today than when she visited the last time. She asked an old man who sold goats and found out that as it was almost the New Year, everyone took out their livestock to sell for some silver.

Thus, when Su Ying walked out of the livestock stall, her exit was even more impressive than before. She rode on the back of a mule and swung a small leather whip as she called out to those few middle-aged men to help her drive the livestock to the border pa.s.s. When she came through the pa.s.s, she hid under someone else’s carriage and left without a hitch.

Qiao Yang looked at the darkening sky and couldn’t help but feel anxious, worried that something might have happened to Su Ying.

“Second Master, look! Madam Su is back.”

Qiao Yang craned his neck and saw Su Ying riding on a mule. She swung a small whip and led a group of pigs, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, and mules over.

“Great Heavens! Madam Su must have overturned the den of those livestock traders inside the pa.s.s.” Qiao Yang quickly summoned his men to step forward to help.

“Hurry up and tie up those chickens, ducks, and geese to put on the carts.”

“Coming.”

Everyone went to the carts and took the tree vines that were lying on the carts. They tied the legs of the chickens, ducks, and geese and placed them on the carts.

“Madam Su, let’s put these pigs on the carts too. Otherwise, they will get thinner if they are made to walk all the way.”

Su Ying felt that Qiao Yang’s words made sense, so she allowed him to put a few big fat pigs on the cart as well. Other than the cows and mules, everything else was placed on the carts since the carts were empty anyway.

After packing up, they started to head back.

“Madam Su, why are there so many bloodstains on your shoes?”

Su Ying was afraid that the bloodstains on her body would frighten people, so she had taken special care to buy a ready-made outfit to change into when she reached the street. She hadn’t expected Qiao Yang to still notice them.

“That Old Master Li wanted to grab all the charcoal for himself and had evil intentions towards Old Master Zhang, so I helped Old Master Zhang get rid of him.”

Qiao Yang did not expect such a thing to happen. “1 knew that s.h.i.+fty-looking Old Master Li was up to no good. Is Old Master Zhang alright?”

Su Ying shook her head. “It’s nothing serious.”

“It’s good that he’s alright. Gos.h.!.+ With Madam Su around this year, we can also have a warm and filling winter.”

Qiao Yang looked at the carts full of pigs, poultry, and goats and was almost drooling like a glutton. Although his life in the Tiger Base was better than the average person, he could not eat meat to his heart’s content for every meal, especially during winter. Resources were in short supply during winter and the weather was cold. It was already very good if they could eat until they were half-full. Every winter, everyone would stay at home to avoid exerting more energy and end up getting hungry faster.

The team only reached the Tiger Base at almost midnight.

Everyone looked at the large number of animals and gulped greedily. However, they all understood the rules. Su Ying had said before that these animals were to be used to give birth to cubs. Only by giving birth to more cubs would the people in the Tiger Base be able to eat more meat.

Qiao Yang and his men helped Su Ying send the livestock home.

A few days ago, Su Ying had asked Tian Mu to expand the livestock shed, so she wasn’t afraid that her shed couldn’t accommodate all of them.

Hea Shouyi and Murong De who were sleeping in the back room heard the commotion and hurriedly put on their clothes and came out of the room.

As the two of them lifted the oil lamps, they were stunned when they saw Su Ying herding a group of livestock outside the gate.

“Mistress is back.”

“I’m back. There’s nothing to do here. Uncle Hea and Uncle Murong, you guys can go back to sleep.”

Since the two men were up, how could they not help?

“This pig is really fat.” Murong De patted a pig’s body and laughed heartily as he drove it into the pigsty.

“Mistress, you wiped out the livestock stalls again?”

“That’s right. Those people are almost treating me like a G.o.d of Fortune,” Su Ying said with a smile.

Hea Shouyi laughed out loud upon hearing that. “Mistress, you are indeed the G.o.d of Fortune!” Which family would buy all the livestock in one entire stall?

“Mistress, you’ve been traveling on the road for a whole day. You should go back and rest early. Leave the matters here to the two of us.”

Murong De carried the chickens into the chicken coop. These were all hens that could lay eggs. Henceforth, he would be able to make egg custards for the children every day.

“That’s right, Mistress. Go and rest. Leave this to us.”

“Alright.” Su Ying stretched her back and told Qiao Yang and his men to go back and rest before she returned to the courtyard.

“Mistress, you are back. There’s still water boiling in the kitchen. Mistress, do you want to wash up?” Bai Shuang asked as she opened the door and walked out after putting on her clothes.

Su Ying nodded as she sniffed the pungent smell on her body. “I will wash up. I’ll do it myself. You can go back to sleep.”

Bai Shuang shook her head and went to pour Su Ying some water.

After everything was prepared, Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to return to her room to rest.

She closed the door of the bathroom, took off her clothes, and sank into the warm water. The moment her body was immersed in the hot water, she could feel all the pores on her body opening up comfortably.

Su Ying let out a breath of relief. She waited until the water was almost cold before coming out of the tub.

She was about to go back to sleep when she realized that Xiao Jin had just returned.

“Why did you come back so late?”

Xiao Jin’s body was still covered in frost. When he walked up to Su Ying, she could clearly feel the coldness on his body.

“The defense work on that slope was a little difficult to handle, so I came back a little late.”

“If it’s difficult, you can just do it tomorrow. There’s no need to rush it in the middle of the night.”

Xiao Jin didn’t explain further and just told her to go to bed first.

Su Ying yawned. After the bath, all the energy and blood in her body had been stimulated, and she wasn’t as sleepy as before.

“I’ll go and see if there’s any water in the pot. You’re covered in frost. Go take a hot bath to get rid of the cold,” Su Ying said as she turned around and headed for the kitchen.

Xiao Jin did not stop her. It was rare for her to take the initiative to care for him.

Su Ying saw that there wasn’t much water left in the pot, so she added some firewood and water to the stove. After covering the pot, she poured out the water from the wooden bucket. It could be used to water the vegetables in the backyard tomorrow.

After cleaning up, the water was almost coming to a boil. Su Ying scooped out the hot water and was about to bring it to the bathroom when Xiao Jin came up behind her and took the bucket from her hand.

“Enjoy your bath. I’m going to sleep.”

“Alright.”

Su Ying yawned as she returned to her room.

“Mother, you’re back.”

Su Ying was very surprised to hear the older toddler Ji’s voice. She walked to the bed and picked him up. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I woke up,” Ji mumbled. Su Ying and Xiao Jin weren’t around at night. It was Aunt Zhao who coaxed them to sleep, but Ji was already used to having Su Ying by his side at night. He couldn’t sleep soundly when Su Ying didn’t come back today. When he woke up just now, he was a little panicky when he didn’t see Su Ying, so he couldn’t fall asleep again.

“It’s still early. Sleep a little longer.” Su Ying carried him and laid down on the bed with the little boy.

As if sensing Su Ying’s presence, the younger toddler Ling subconsciously squeezed closer to Su Ying.

Su Ying kissed them both on the face before closing her eyes with her arms wrapped around them..
