General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 56 – Sleeping (2)

Su Xiaoxiao was sitting behind the kitchen stove sharpening her knife. Then a loud cry came from the kitchen next door.

“You can’t even eat enough for yourself, and you always take things and go to your mother’s house every day! Is there such a daughter-in-law like you? Your belly can’t even give birth to a son! Really such a loser!”

“Eat eat eat! All day long, you can only think about eating!”

The first sentence was scolding Mrs. Wu, and the last sentence was about scolding Mrs. Wu’s two daughters.

Mrs. Wu’s two daughters were scolded and cried.

“Cry cry cry! Crying as if you’re at a funeral!” Old Mrs. Wu became impatient and hit her two granddaughters’ ruthlessly several times.

Mrs. Wu used her body to block it, so she also got hit several times.

“Whoaaaa—”

Niudan who was in the front room also cried, he was really crying and howl so loud as if he was at a funeral.

Old Mrs. Wu’s face changed and said, “Niudan, what’s the matter?”

Old Mrs. Wu didn’t care about teaching a lesson to Mrs. Wu mother and daughters anymore, so she hurriedly rushed to the front room to coax her baby grandson.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to sharpen her knife.

After a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Wu opened the back door of the kitchen and was intending to come out for some air.

She caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoxiao who was sitting in the snow sharpening her knife.

She wondered if Su Xiaoxiao heard about what just happened or not, she felt a little embarrassed and awkward.

Su Xiaoxiao put a few catties of pork ribs and some freshly picked vegetables on the side.

Mrs. Wu stepped forward silently and squatted down to help Su Xiaoxiao pick vegetables.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask what happened to Mrs. Wu, nor did she refuse Mrs. Wu’s help. But after Mrs. Wu finished picking vegetables and helped her wash the ribs, she went into the house and gave 20 copper coins to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu was stunned.

“You seem to need this more than food.”

Mrs. Wu’s eyes were hot.

Her mother was ill. She wanted to take some eggs back to visit her mother. But her mother-in-law, Old Mrs. Wu, found out about it and scolded her so fiercely.

She had been numb for being treated like this for so many years. But somehow, at the moment Su Xiaoxiao gave her the copper coins, she felt an unspeakable grievance from the bottom of her heart.

She said in a low voice, “I didn’t take things and go to my mother’s house every day.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head: “I know.”

Mrs. Wu’s tears fell down immediately. 

The grievances that had been bottled up for so many years were stewed in Su Xiaoxiao’s trust and they completely broke out. 

——

Last night, the three little ones peed too hard and wet the two beds of the mattress. In addition, it was snowing and there was no sun. So the mattresses were not completely dry.

Tonight, Su Ergou still had no choice but to sleep with Father Su again.

The three little ones got the third time sleeping benefit as they wished. 

The three little ones valiantly waved goodbye to their father, and went to Su Xiaoxiao’s room with the little pillow in their arms.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to rest, but Su Ergou asked at the door, “Jie1, have you slept?”

1Jie (姐) : older sister.

“Not yet, you can come in.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou came to ask about tomorrow’s business: “Jie, are we going to Jinji to set up a stall, or go to the academy?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously and said, “Go to Jinji.”

Su Ergou: “Ah.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile: “Do you want to go to the academy?”

Su Ergou said, “There are so many students in the academy. So it must be able to sell more than at the gate of Jinji!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “That’s not necessarily the case.”

The neighborhood of Jinji were all high quality customers, which could afford the price and saved time.

Su Ergou said again, “Then are we going to give up the business for the academy?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, it’s just that we have to change our selling method.”

Thanks to her CEO mother in her previous life, she still had some better business ideas in her mind.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Ergou, “It’s already late. Go to sleep.”

Su Ergou nodded: “En, then you have to remember to call me tomorrow.”

Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, “I will.”

How did she feel that her silly younger brother was more active in selling cakes than in extorting money?

Su Ergou just went out and suddenly stretched his head in: “Jie, when you make another kind of cake in the future, call it Ergou cake!”

Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
