Chapter 55: Chapter 55 The Strong Wind Blows

Chapter 55 -55 The Strong Wind Blows

Brother Lu came in holding a basin for washing feet and asked with a smile, “What are you muttering to yourself about?”

“Nothing.”

Jiang Nan shook her head, she couldn’t very well say she was talking about that Chongxi Sister-in-law, could she? With her husband’s temperament, he’d definitely start lecturing her again.

Seeing the eldest son preparing footbath water for his wife again, Mrs. Lu didn’t say anything, nor did she feel like commenting.

So long as her eldest son’s wife didn’t act out, she thought it was fine for the couple to do as they liked.

In the blink of an eye, the brothers who had jobs went off to work, the students to their schools, leaving just the old couple at home.

Initially, Mrs. Lu was worried about her second daughter-in-law, even thinking of having her stay till the pregnancy was stable before returning to Provincial City.

But eventually seeing it wasn’t feasible, she could only remind her son to help out more at work and let Susu not overexert herself – after all, there were enough hands at the store…

…

“Aunt, bye-bye.”

Susu found it funny, watching the father and son riding away on their bicycle.

Ever since she returned to Provincial City, she had been treated like a treasure by these two, who had set up a small bed for Xiao Yu in the Family Court.

They both vied to do things for her, insisting on taking her to the Court every day before feeling at ease.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaoting would take Xiao Yu to school and then head off to his own workplace.

Sister Huang said enviously, “Your man really dotes on you, and even Xiao Yu knows how to be considerate of adults.

Not like my husband, who wouldn’t even help if an oil bottle toppled over. Those darn little kids just know how to play. Ultimately, daughters are more thoughtful and know how to show concern for their mothers.”

Sister Hong nodded in agreement, “Exactly, daughters are just more attentive than sons, who are more rough and casual.”

“Susu, do you prefer a daughter or a son?”

Susu touched her belly, not yet showing, and thought about it.

“Each has its own worries, I guess. I’m afraid my son will be too rough and tough to discipline. For a daughter, well, I worry about her being bullied.”

“That’s true.”

…

Susu lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sunshine, listening to the others discussing child-rearing experiences, silently taking mental notes.

Bathed in the warm sunshine, drowsiness came over her and she soon drifted off into a light sleep.

“Sister Su, Sister Su.”

Susu slowly opened her eyes, which were dazzled by the bright sunshine overhead, and she closed them again to adjust.

“What is it, Xiao Sun?”

“Sister Su, you should be careful not to catch a cold. Why don’t you go inside and sleep? After all, the store is not too busy.”

Susu nodded, got up, and walked towards the house. Her mind was still groggy from sleep, and it took her a moment to realize something and she turned back.

“Do you have something to tell me, Xiao Sun?”

Xiao Sun scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, “Sister Su, I’ve also saved up more than three hundred yuan now, and I was thinking of bringing my grandparents over.”

Susu nodded, that was a good thing, it showed the kid was filial.

“Well, when you have time, look around for a rental place nearby, and I’ll have your brother-in-law take a look too. When the time comes, I’ll—”

Xiao Sun waved his hands in a bit of a hurry, “No, no, I just wanted to tell you, Sister Su, I want to bring my grandparents over by myself, I can’t bother you to pay the rent, I’ll pay it myself.”

“Okay, then I’ll give you an extra five yuan every month as a housing subsidy.”

Susu interrupted what Xiao Sun still wanted to say, “That’s settled then, it’s been agreed upon that room and board are included.”

With that, Susu yawned.

Since becoming pregnant, she had become especially sleepy, and she never seemed to get enough sleep every day.

A lie-down on the kang, and she could fall asleep within minutes.

The family of three had just gotten home when they ran into a neighbor couple.

“Is that Lu Gong’an’s clothing? Is it cold?”

Sister Wang quite warmly cautioned the couple, “The weather here is just like that, very cool in the morning and evening and scorching at noon.

Next time you go out, remember to bring an extra jacket so you can take it off if it’s hot and have something to wear if it’s cold. You don’t want to catch a cold.”

“Actually, I didn’t feel cold, but he insisted I wear it.”

Recalling the earlier incident, Susu felt somewhat amused.

Sister Wang felt envious, “Just look at your Lu Gong’an, he’s worried about you feeling uncomfortable in the wind.”

When they reached the entrance of their home, Susu waved goodbye to Sister Wang, and the family of three entered the house.

Watching Lu Gong’an also help his wife with the door, Sister Wang shot a disdainful glance at her own man.

“Look at you, then look at Lu Gong’an, why don’t you learn something from him?”

Sister Wang’s husband, Police Song, frowned.

“What should I learn? Are you cold too? If you’re cold, just go inside and put on a jacket. We’re already at our doorstep, what? You want me to take mine off for you?”

“You’re such a fool!” Sister Wang was so frustrated.

“How am I a fool? You, woman, why are you getting angry for no reason?”

“I’m sick, okay?”

Police Song frowned, “Do I need to take you to the clinic? Get some medicine?”

Sister Wang’s eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames, she swung her hand and slammed the door forcefully.

“Hey, this woman must have swallowed a bullet, she’s so fiery!”

Police Song, glaring, touched his nose that almost got hit by the door.

My nose is already not that tall, and now she’s about to flatten it even more!

…

“Wife, what do you want to eat? I’ll cook.”

Susu shook her head, “I don’t really feel like eating anything specific, you decide.”

“Alright, if you suddenly crave something, just call for me.”

Lu Xiaoting said this and rolled up his sleeves, picking up the vegetables and heading towards the stairwell.

The little one helped out, running back and forth to check if Susu needed anything.

“Oh my, my poor memory, I almost forgot.”

Father and son looked at Susu at the same time, and in unison they asked,

“Wife, what’s wrong?”

“Aunt, what’s wrong?”

“Pfft—”

Seeing the serious faces of the tall and the small, Susu could not hold back her laughter.

“Don’t worry, it’s Xiao Sun who wants to bring his grandparents to the Provincial City. Help keep an eye out to see if there are any houses for rent nearby. It doesn’t have to be too big.”

Lu Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, got it.”

In the middle of the night, Susu was woken up by the sound of the wind outside.

Just listening to the whooshing sound, she could already imagine how strong the wind was.

Susu rolled over and snuggled into her man’s arms, falling asleep again.

When Susu woke up again and looked around, she found herself alone in the empty house.

“Wife, there are buns, steamed bread, millet porridge, and eggs in the pot. Have something to eat.

It’s windy outside, just rest at home today. I’ll buy lunch and come back.”

Susu arched her brows lightly, “Quite considerate, aren’t we?”

Looking at the willow branches swinging wildly outside the window, Susu clicked her tongue. With her slight build, if she went out, she’d almost certainly be blown away.

“Wife, we’re back.”

Hearing the commotion, Susu turned to look, and saw a tall figure followed by one more person.

“Sister-in-law.”

“Cheng He? What are you doing here?”

Susu was somewhat surprised to see her husband’s elder brother, Su Chenghe, and quickly got up to welcome him.

“Cheng He, aren’t you at work?”

After Su Chenghe set down his things and turned to put down his carrying basket, he looked a little embarrassed.

“Sister-in-law, I specifically came to the Provincial City to find you.”

“To find me?”
