General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming Chapter 139 – 139 Scheming Erhu

139 Scheming Erhu

Su Xiaoxiao left arrogantly.

Su Erlang said angrily, “Grandpa! Fat Lass Su is too much!”

Old Master Su said coldly, “You should think about how to deal with the Zheng family when they come later!”

Su Erlang was stunned.

How could he have forgotten that in this incident, Cripple Feng had almost lost half his life!

If Fatty Su had not bothered about Cripple Feng and let him be bitten to death by the big worm or let him freeze to death on the mountain, they might have said that Fatty Su had beaten him up and thrown him to the big worm…

They could push the responsibility to Fatty Su!

However, Fatty Su saved Cripple Feng twice…

What would Zheng Lanxiu think?

She would only hate Su Jinniang! She would hate her to death!

… .

Su Jinniang was helped back to her room by her two brothers. Madam Fang had gone to the fields and was not at home.

Su Yuniang walked in with a cold expression.

“Little brother, go out first.”

She said to Su Sanlang behind her.

Su Sanlang went out obediently.

Su Jinniang sat at the head of the bed in a sorry state and glared at Su Yuniang with red eyes. “Are you satisfied with what you did to me? How good would it be if you didn’t return to our parents’ house! Why did you summon Cripple Feng? Why did you summon Fatty Su? You could clearly have stopped Fatty Su… but you kept hiding in the room… You just watched as I was bullied by her… ”

Without letting her continue, Su Yuniang raised her hand and slapped her!

Su Jinniang was stunned.

Su Yuniang said word by word, “Su Jinniang, if there’s a next time, I’ll shave your head and send you to a nunnery.”

Su Jinniang was stunned.

… .

Su Xiaoxiao returned home.

Seeing that she was sweating, Father Su asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. “I’ve fallen out with the Su family.”

This was a big deal. It was much more serious than falling out with the Chen family. After all, Old Master Su’s family was too well-regarded village. If they were not careful, they might really be chased out by the entire village.

Father Su’s eyes were filled with fear. “Why did you fall out with them? There are so many people in the Su family! You didn’t suffer a loss, right!”

“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “I beat them up.”

Father Su was relieved in a second and waved his hand. “Oh, that’s fine.”

Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

Father Su told her not to worry about the village and leave everything to him. She could go to the city to do business in peace.

Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “Okay.”

The three little ones also knew that Su Xiaoxiao was about to go on a long trip. They came over with small pillows to sleep with her.

This time, the rotation system clearly failed. Everyone wanted to sleep next to their mother.

Dahu and Erhu occupied Su Xiaoxiao’s left and right.

Xiaohu couldn’t beat his two brothers and gave up. He threw away his small pillow and placed his head on Su Xiaoxiao’s.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

After sleeping like this for a night, wouldn’t she obtain a little ice sculpture the next day?

Su Xiaoxiao carried Xiaohu into the blanket and placed him with Erhu.

Erhu had the gentlest personality among the three children. Xiaohu and Dahu knew how to fight, but Xiaohu could never win.

The three little fellows fell asleep.

“Mom.”

Alright, there was a fish that escaped the net.

It was Erhu.

Erhu moved closer to her and searched his pocket. He took out a small thing and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao took it. “What is this?”

“A talisman,” Erhu said. “Granny Du gave it to me.”

Madam Du was a witch from the neighboring village.

The three little ones would sometimes follow Niudan and the others to her house to play.

“Why did she give you this?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Erhu thought for a moment and told her the truth. “I exchanged a pancake for it.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Why did Erhu do the exchange?”

Erhu fell silent.

This was called a safety talisman, but it was actually a small pouch sewn with rags.

Granny Du’s “talismans” were also divided into levels. The lowest-grade safety talisman contained plant ash, and cost one copper coin each.

The one that Granny Du gave Er Hu was probably the highest grade. It contained a genuine copper coin.

The Host had once bought an identical one from Granny Du and spent half a tael of silver!

That witch was a big scam artist!

Although Erhu had exchanged for it with a pancake, their family could sell any pancake for ten copper coins. Granny Du was definitely making a profit.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao could roughly guess why Er Hu gave this to her.

She touched his little head. “Erhu, the witch is lying. I don’t need this thing to come back safely.”

The child’s feelings were precious, but there were some principles she had to teach the child to prevent him from continuing to be tricked by the witch in the future.

Erhu paused and said, “Pancake. Expired.”

Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

Before dawn the next day, Manager Sun arrived in the hired carriage. The coachman was the original servant of Jin Ji and insisted on leaving with Manager Sun.

Manager Sun originally didn’t agree since he couldn’t even protect himself. After he collaborated with Su Xiaoxiao, he called the shop assistant over.

The shop assistant was called Xiaowu.

“I can go to town myself,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Manager Sun said in amusement, “Creditor, boss, how can I let you go yourself? Then I would’ve been a manager for nothing!”

Putting aside their past grudges, Manager Sun and Su Xiaoxiao were quite compatible in business—the two of them were very bold and went all out in their pursuit.

“Is Little Brother Su awake?” he asked.

“He’s awake. He’s squatting in the latrine pit,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You can call him Ergou.”

“Okay,” Manager Sun agreed and said to Xiaowu, “Take Su…”

He paused. “Should I call you Miss Su or Young Madam Su?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “What do you think?”

“Miss… Su.”

He still had the ability to read people’s expressions.

There was not much luggage on this trip to the city, mainly some ingredients for snacks.

Manager Sun helped to move the ingredients into the carriage. “I went to see Madam Wang again last night. Madam Wang means to provide us with a kitchen. Do you think we should use the kitchen in her residence, or should we find another small courtyard outside?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Let’s use her kitchen. It’s convenient.”

Manager Sun said, “Aren’t you afraid of others stealing your recipes?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “If they can steal it, let them.”

Manager Sun pondered for a moment. “That’s true.”

The chefs hired by Jin Ji from the capital had to spend a lot of effort to figure it out. How could one learn all the skills after watching it once?

… .

Before leaving for the prefecture city, Su Xiaoxiao went to Physician Fu’s house.

“Is there anything you want me to bring? For example, herbs?” she asked Physician Fu.

Physician Fu didn’t need to buy anything from the city. However, after Aunt Fu found out that Su Xiaoxiao was going to the city, she asked her son to give Su Xiaoxiao a jar of health pills and have her bring it to an old friend in Qingyun Temple.

With that personality of hers, it was rare that Aunt Fu actually had old friends.

At seven o’clock, the group got into the carriage and traveled for the entire day. At night, they successfully arrived at the prefecture city.

The bustling atmosphere assaulted their faces. The streets were filled with traffic and were much livelier than Apricot Flower Town.

“Sister! There are so many people!” Su Ergou lifted the curtain and looked at the endless crowd. He was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.

Manager Sun smiled and said, “This is not even the most prosperous street in the prefecture city. On the way to the Wang family later, we will pass by Jade Cloud Street. There are even more people there!”

Compared to Su Ergou, Su Xiaoxiao was much calmer.

He asked, “Miss Su, have you… been to the prefecture city before?”

It didn’t look like it was her first time entering the city!

“I’ve never been here,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“Ah! Sister! What a big candied hawthorn!”

Su Ergou wished he could stick his head out to take a look.

Manager Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at Su Ergou. He thought to himself that Su Ergou’s reaction seemed more like an inexperienced villager. Su Xiaoxiao, on the other, looked as though she had even been to the capital.

If possible, Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to go to the capital.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult to get a travel pass to the capital. There was no scholar at home who could enter the capital to take the examination.
