General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

135 Business

Su Yuniang did not expect Su Jinniang to slander her like this.

During the years when Madam Fang wasn’t well, not only did she raise Sanlang, but she also took care of Jinniang.

In the end, she was an outsider in Jinniang’s heart!

Su Yuniang smiled bitterly. “You’re really my biological sister!”

“What’s wrong, the two of you?” Madam Fang came over from the kitchen and sensed that the atmosphere between the sisters was not right. “How old are you? Why are you still arguing? We have guests at home!”

Su Yuniang returned to the room coldly.

Su Jinniang also entered her room in a fit of pique.

Madam Fang frowned. “These two children!”

… .

Crippled Feng’s injuries were more severe than he had imagined. Along the way, he suffered superficial injuries. They looked serious, but they were not serious. What was concerning was the leg that had been bitten by the big worm.

After careful treatment by the physician, not only did he not improve, but his leg also became red and swollen. He had also been in a daze.

If this continued, Cripple Feng would probably lose his leg.

Zheng Lanxiu did not dare to continue wasting her time in the Su family. She brought Cripple Feng back to Shallow Water Village and asked someone to invite a more experienced physician from Rongen Hall.

Su Xiaoxiao rested at home for two days and completely recovered. She could continue to set up a stall tomorrow!

“Sister, are you really alright?” Su Ergou asked.

“Why? You don’t want to set up a stall anymore?”

“Yes, but your health is the most important. I can wait a few days.”

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his head in amusement. “That’s right. It’s been hard on our hardworking Ergou.”

The three little ones were brushing the fur of the foal in the backyard. When they saw Uncle Ergou’s head being rubbed, they abandoned the foal in unison and ran over, stretching their little heads in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

It meant that they wanted their heads to be patted too!

“Ha!” Su Xiaoxiao was amused and touched their heads.

“Excuse me, is this Miss Su’s house?”

An acquaintance came to the door and the three children ran over.

Manager Sun stood outside the open door. Just as he was hesitating if he should knock, he saw three round heads sticking out.

Dahu’s was at the top, and Xiaohu’s was at the bottom.

Manager Sun looked at the three identical and cute faces and his face blindness acted up!

“Who are you?” Dahu asked warily.

He had never seen an unfamiliar face in the village.

“I… ah…”

“Why are you looking for Mother?” Erhu sized him up.

“Are you a bad person? Bad people don’t enter!” Xiaohu said seriously.

Manager Sun was dumbfounded.

Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Manager Sun is a guest.”

The three of them nodded sensibly. “Oh.”

The three little ones worked together and pulled open the unlatched wooden door. They said politely, “Please come in.”

As Manager Sun entered, his eyes were glued to the three little fellows.

It couldn’t be helped. This was the first time he had seen such cute children in his life.

“Triplets?” he asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao gestured for him to sit down. “Yes.”

Manager Sun sat down in a daze and looked at the little kids who were walking around Su Xiaoxiao. Then, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, my sons.”

Manager Sun was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao had always used the identity of Miss Su when she was doing business outside. Manager Sun thought that she was a woman who had never married. Who knew that she already had three children?

Why did he not believe it?

“Mother, it’s hot.” Xiaohu grabbed his collar.

Su Xiaoxiao touched his back. He was indeed sweating. She took a piece of dry cloth that was draped over the back of the chair and placed it on his back.

Her movements were extremely skilled. It was obvious that she was used to it.

Manager Sun fell silent.

“Go play,” Su Xiaoxiao said to the three of them and they ran off to brush the foal’s fur.

Su Ergou went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water. Su Xiaoxiao made tea and poured a cup for Manager Sun. She went straight to the point. “Do you have something to discuss with me?”

She paid off the Manager Sun’s debt at the gambling den. Before he gathered enough money for Su Xiaoxiao, Manager Sun had to “sell himself to pay off the debt”.

Of course, he could forget about selling his fat body. But he could still use his ability.

Speaking of serious matters, Manager Sun temporarily put aside his curiosity about Su Xiaoxiao.

He said, “I’ve been to many places these past few days and have indeed accepted a good business. It’s also a banquet snack business. That family is not inferior to the Qi family, but it’s a little far away. It’s in the prefecture city.”

...

“The prefecture city?” Su Xiaoxiao muttered.

“That’s right.” Manager Sun nodded.

Su Ergou said, “It will take ten days to half a month to go to the prefecture city. Our snacks will be ruined if we transport them over!”

Manager Sun said, “Ah, it won’t take that long. We’ll take the carriage and set off at dawn. We’ll arrive on the second day at the latest. It will take half a month if you walk!”

Shen Chuan had also said that they could reach the prefecture city in a day.

Manager Sun continued, “However, Little Brother Su’s concerns are not wrong. The snacks will not taste fresh anymore if they are left out for too long. If we send them over after we’re done, it will have to be done overnight. Ordinary commoners might not be able to tell the difference, but the guests at the banquet are used to having delicacies. They can taste the difference.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “So you mean… ”

Manager Sun smiled and said, “If you want to take this business, we have to go to the prefecture city to do it on the spot. The price will definitely satisfy you. It’s higher than what the Qi family paid. I wonder… if you’re willing to take this long trip.”

Ordinary girls would not leave their houses. Due to her livelihood, she had no choice but to do business on the streets. However, the town was not far after all. It was really a long trip to the prefecture city.

From Manager Sun’s standpoint, he naturally hoped that Su Xiaoxiao would agree. If she earned more money, he would have dividends and could repay her sooner.

However, he wouldn’t force Su Xiaoxiao. Everything depended on her wishes.

...

“If you can’t make up your mind, there’s no harm in thinking about it for a night. That madam is a guest of the Qi family. She tasted your snacks at Old Madam Qi’s birthday banquet and was very impressed. She will only leave for the prefecture city tomorrow. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No need. I’ll go.”

Manager Sun said in a daze, “Are you really not going to think about it?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “What’s there to consider? I’ve never left Apricot Flower Town in my life. With this deal, I can earn money and go to the prefecture city to take a look. Why not?”

If not for the limited money she had, she would have gone to the capital!

“Ah…” Manager Sun was not especially surprised.

It was as if he had subconsciously decided that she was not an ordinary woman. She dared to risk her life, and was brave to barge in when the occasion called for it. She was fearless.

Unfortunately, she was not a man. Otherwise, she would definitely have made shocking achievements.

After Father Su and Wei Ting returned from the Li family’s land, Su Xiaoxiao told them about going to the prefecture city to do business.

“Do you really want to go?” Father Su asked.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Su Ergou was worried… Uh, his father was worried too, but he respected his daughter’s opinion.

He would grow old one day and not be able to accompany them for the rest of their lives. He couldn’t expect them to soar on their own while cutting off their wings.

“Just you and Ergou?” Father Su asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Manager Sun is going too. He’s familiar with the city.”

Father Su thought for a moment. “Bring Liu Ping along.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no need, Dad. Liu Ping has something to do at home.”

Business in town had already stopped for two days. If they continued to rest, their business would lose momentum.

Father Su originally planned to say that she should bring someone to protect herself, but when he thought about how Liu Ping could not fight as well as his daughter and Ergou, he swallowed his words.

“When are you leaving?”
