“Mom, keep these 20 dollars.”

Mrs. Lu looked at the money her daughter-in-law handed over and refused to take it until Susu said it was for buying groceries, then she finally accepted.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had nothing to do, so they decided to lead the three children to the alley entrance to wait for Lu Xiaomei, who was delivering meals.

Hospital

Lu Xiaoting saw that it was again his younger sister who had brought the meal. He coughed and asked,

“Xiaomei, where is your sister-in-law?”

Lu Xiaomei, without lifting her head, simply replied that her sister-in-law was at the bungalow settling accounts, seeming to be distributing last month’s salaries.

Watching his thoughtful elder brother and his younger sister, busy serving water to both men, Lu Huaisen adjusted his glasses and smiled silently.

“Cough.”

“Brother, drink some water; look at you, you’re coughing.”

Lu Huaisen couldn’t hold back and chuckled aloud.

Lu Xiaoting warned with a glance at the younger brother, then turned to his sister and said, “Ignore your third brother, he’s having a fit.”

Lu Xiaomei blinked, “Oh.”

…

“Sister Hong, don’t be so nervous. The more you act like this, the more likely you are to attract attention.”

Wang Hong’s lips trembled nervously as she swallowed.

“I don’t want to be, but when I think about how much money I’m carrying, I just get really nervous.”

Xiao Sun was also extremely nervous, seeing so much money for the first time.

Afraid of being targeted by thieves, the two maintained a tense vigilance all the way to the county.

Once they reached the county, they didn’t dare to stay long and hastened home.

Looking at the banknote on the kang, Wang Hong and her husband burst into tears, while their confused children, not understanding why their mother had brought back so much money, began to cry fearing some terrible misfortune.

The passing villagers shook their heads and sighed, “Ah, the Zhang family really has bad karma.”

Zhang Jianjun, feeling slightly embarrassed as he looked at his family, advised his wife to do her job well and not to let down Boss Su.

Wang Hong playfully punched her husband, “You don’t need to tell me, your main job now is to get well and take care of our kids.”

Hearing that their mother could earn a good amount each month and their father would get better, the three siblings cheered joyfully.

The couple exchanged a smiling glance, their eyes filled with brilliance.

County Brine Yard

“Bark bark bark—”

As Xiao Sun approached the gate, a little chubby dog rushed out, barking fiercely as a warning.

Hearing the noise, Su Xianyue came out, “Da Huang, go back.”

The chubby dog wagged its tail, whimpered, and waddled back to its kennel.

“Mr. Su.”

Xiao Sun, stuttering and somewhat at a loss, “Sister Su asked me to tell you she can’t come back for now, her salary might be delayed for a few days, but as soon as she gets time, she’ll return.”

Su Xianyue nodded, said a few words, and then went inside.

“Xiao Sun is here.”

Xiao Sun nodded and repeated what Sister Su and the Second Aunt Su along with Aunt Su had said again.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’re all family. How’s Xiaoting doing? His father said he’s recovering well; has he been discharged?”

Seeing this, Xiao Sun repeated everything he knew.

The two women then sighed in relief.

Aunt Su puckered her lips in the direction of Xiao Sun’s departing back, “Elder sister, I think that Xiao Sun is a good kid, young and earning well, handsome and respectful.

I think he might have a little interest in Xianyue.”

Aunt Liu Fen shook her head repeatedly, showing clear disapproval.

“I wouldn’t dare say that; Xiao Sun is younger than Xianyue. Xianyue has been divorced once, who would look up to her? It’s not that I, as her mother, am putting her down, but we shouldn’t indulge in baseless fantasies.”

“Ah—”

Aunt Su sighed, lamenting her niece’s misfortune in marrying into such a family.

“His dad, Xiao Sun came back this afternoon, and I was thinking of asking Xiao Sun to bring her some malted milk essence and brown sugar.”

Aunt Liu Fen brought up the afternoon’s incident with a hint of regret.

“You can’t just blabber, people will laugh if they overhear,” Uncle Su frowned.

Aunt Su rolled her eyes at her husband, unimpressed. She knew better than that, she was just speaking casually at home.

The Su brothers heard their mother’s words and hurriedly made a trip to the supply and marketing co-op.

Eldest Sister-in-law Su

Eldest Sister-in-law Su stared at the two bags of brown sugar, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. She was just about to suggest keeping one bag for themselves and sending the other as enough.

Brother Su interrupted, “The younger brother also bought malted milk, if you want people to laugh at you, then just do that.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Su glared, clutching her chest, almost didn’t sleep all night from tossing and turning.

Second Su

Second Sister-in-law Su held the malted milk with great fondness, her face also full of agony.

“My goodness, I’ve never tried this stuff in my life.”

Su slowly glanced at his wife.

“Wasn’t that bowl of malted milk at your aunt’s house when we got married swallowed by a dog?”

“I hate you!”

Second Su was stunned and punched her husband.

Meanwhile, in the Provincial City

Lu Xiaoting looked at the two lunch boxes on the table, filled with spare rib soup and creamy carp soup, and then up at his wife whose eyes sparkled like stars.

He raised an eyebrow, “Why such a feast today?”

“You tell me, which day isn’t a feast?”

Rolling her eyes at her husband, Susu turned her head and smilingly instructed the dazed-looking Brother Lu and Lu Laosan.

“Sister-in-law, don’t prepare so much next time, just a simple meal is fine.”

Brother Lu was a bit embarrassed.

Lu Huaisen nodded and echoed his elder brother’s words.

Susu just said she was in a good mood today and wanted some fish soup herself, urging everyone to eat while it was hot.

Lu Huaisen widened his eyes, thinking to himself, my goodness.

Lu Xiaoting raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing it was just because of a good mood, his eyes smiling as he looked towards the little woman by the bed.

…

Seeing both the brown sugar and the malted milk, Susu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Mrs. Lu spoke quite proudly and self-assuredly, “Look, that’s our old Su family for you, always thoughtful.”

The couple shared a smile, listening to the old mother’s incessant chatter, nodding and agreeing from time to time.

“Look, your Uncle Su, the whole family even included three portions.”

“But when you think about it, it’s also the sentiments of your brother and your brother-in-law’s families.”

“Your Aunt, too, the house is already tight on funds, just buying a bag of brown sugar should have been enough, why buy malted milk too.”

…

Just lying there every day, apart from eating and sleeping, Lu Xiaoting felt he was almost stiff, couldn’t wait to get discharged and go home.

He had just thought about getting out of bed to move around when his wife pressed him down again.

“You, lie there properly, if you mess around again, watch out, I’ll beat you.”

Susu stood with one hand on her hip, her face stern, waving her fist to warn her husband.

Lu Xiaoting felt a bit guilty and whispered, “Got it, wife.”

“Hmph!”

Susu rolled her eyes at her husband irritatedly, instructed the younger brother to keep an eye on his second brother, then turned and left.

Watching his own brother get scolded, Lu Huaisen barely held back his laughter, his shoulders quivering.

Lu Xiaoting coldly glared, “Lu Laosan!”

…

Almost half a month passed.

“Hmm, you’ve recovered well, just come for regular check-ups from now on.”
