Chapter 56: 56 chapters of quarreling

Lu Xiaoting placed the lunchbox he was holding properly, “Let’s talk while eating.”

“No need, no need, I ate before coming over. Second Brother, Sister-in-law, you guys eat.”

Su Chenghe was really embarrassed. He had come over to find his sister-in-law for something, how could he impose for a meal?

He should have waited outside until after lunch before coming.

Lu Xiaoting turned around and took some noodles, “I’ll cook some more noodles. I didn’t know you were coming today, so I didn’t prepare enough food.”

“No need, no need, Second Brother, you go ahead and eat, I’m really not hungry.”

“Growl—”

Su Chenghe paused, his entire face instantly turning bright red.

Susu tried hard not to laugh out loud, her shoulders shaking as she controlled her voice.

“Come on, we’re all family here. Why act like strangers?”

“Second Brother, then I’ll do it. I’ll go and cook.”

Lu Xiaoting glanced at his cousin, “You know how to cook?”

Su Chenghe choked, and eventually, dejectedly, sat back down. He really hadn’t cooked before. Before getting married, cooking was always handled by his mother and sister, and after getting married, it was always his own wife who did it.

“Second Sister-in-law, my Second Brother is really incredible. He catches criminals and can also cook noodles.”

“Uncle Cheng He, my uncle can cook too. Right now, it’s my uncle and I who are cooking.”

Xiao Yu puffed up his chest proudly, indicating that he would learn from his uncle in the future.

“How come my Second Brother is so amazing, what is it that he can’t do?”

Her own man being praised, Susu proudly lifted her chin.

“By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me about something?”

Su Chenghe gritted his teeth and explained his plan to buy out his years of service and go into sales with his sister-in-law.

“Second Sister-in-law, I wanted to ask if you’re short of people in the Provincial City?

I was thinking, since the city is big, there must be more opportunities than in our county. I want to come to the city and work with you.”

“Sure.”

Susu certainly wouldn’t mind having more people, but then she thought.

“However, have you discussed this with your younger brother, your wife, and your parents?”

Su Chenghe shook his head, “With my wife being the way she is, she definitely won’t agree, always talking about the ‘iron rice bowl.’

But now, they’ve been unable to pay us for several months. I’ve been selling braised goods part-time in the county, earning twenty or thirty a month. I just thought I’d give it a try; otherwise, I’ll definitely regret it later.”

Susu hesitated a bit, not wanting to cause a rift between the couple because of this.

“Don’t worry, Second Sister-in-law, I’ll handle the home front. It won’t interfere with business, and with my wife’s short-sighted nature, once she sees the money, she’ll be fine.”

Susu: “…”

After the meal, Lu Xiaoting took Su Chenghe to the bungalow area to clarify things with Sister Huang and the others.

Full and satisfied, Susu leaned back on the bed, drowsy, and simply put down her book and fell asleep.

The strong yellow wind outside still blew fiercely, greatly affecting the braised goods business.

Seeing that it was really impossible to sell anything, everyone returned to the bungalow.

Thankfully, it was now October, and the weather was cool. The vegetables placed on the ground wouldn’t spoil.

Realizing it was really impossible to sell the braised goods, Xiao Sun ran to the Family Court and brought the remaining goods, letting them know.

Xiao Sun, Su Chenghe, and Wang Hong followed suit, heading back to the county.

“The weather is bad, there are still some braised goods left. You should take them to each family to have a taste.”

It didn’t look like much, but with many people in the Family Court, each family only got a little to taste.

“Ok, thank my wife for me, it looks delicious.”

As Sister Wang spoke, she cleared some bowls and handed them back.

One adult and one child went door-to-door, delivering a bowl to each household.

By the time the father and son duo returned, Susu had quickly made dinner, tomato and egg noodle soup.

“Wow, it smells so good.”

The little guy sniffed with his small nose and instantly spotted the noodles on the table before running off to wash his hands.

“Uncle, hurry up, Aunt made noodles.”

“Coming.”

Susu watched as both big and small seriously scrubbed their hands, waiting until everyone was seated before the whole family started using chopsticks.

Seeing the man eat the noodles with garlic, Susu was curious.

“Is it good?”

“Delicious.”

Lu Xiaoting handed his wife a clove of garlic, “Eating noodles without garlic cuts the flavor by half. You should try too.”

Susu eyed the large clove of garlic, hesitated for three seconds, then took it and prepared to give it a try.

“Ouch—It’s so spicy.”

After swallowing, her entire mouth was filled with the strong taste of garlic, so she ate a large mouthful of noodles.

Only then did the garlic taste subside, and she quickly tossed the garlic onto the table, not wanting to take another bite.

The man didn’t mind; he picked up the half-bitten garlic from the table and ate it with big bites.

Xiao Yu, following his pattern, alternated bites between a clove of garlic and noodles, eating delightfully.

Seeing the father and son like this, Susu’s appetite grew, and she ate nearly half a bowl more.

Of course, the big and small were responsible for cleaning up the dishes and utensils.

“You father and son better brush your teeth well later, or you’ll both be sleeping alone.” Susu reminded them.

Fearing his wife wouldn’t let him into the bed, Xiaoting and the son hugged their toothbrushes and brushed vigorously, almost until their gums bled.

“Um, no smell.”

“Um, Uncle’s mouth doesn’t smell either.”

…

“Why did I hear from the people at the factory that you quit?”

“Yeah, I’m planning to go to Provincial City to sell marinated goods.”

“What? Why didn’t you discuss it with me? That was a steady job.

You damn fool, I seriously owe you.”

Su Chenghe initially still wanted to hide it from the family until he got the money next month; surely his wife would’ve stopped nagging and be all smiles then.

But who knew someone with such a big mouth leaked the news the moment he left.

Seeing his weeping wife, he patiently explained, “You know the factory hasn’t been able to pay wages for months. I’d rather sell marinated goods—surely it’ll be better every month.”

“Really, really?”

His wife was skeptical, wiping her eyes, “But you didn’t even discuss with me before you sold your seniority.”

“It’s pointless talking to you.”

“Dad, Mom, look at the second son.”

Uncle Su and his wife listened with headaches. Their grandson had urgently called them back this afternoon, claiming that the second son and his wife were fighting.

It scared the couple, but seeing that they were calm now was a relief.

“Look, you should have at least told your wife about something this big.”

The aunt pointed at her son, “Look how scared the kids were. Hurry up and tidy up for dinner; your father and I are going back.”

The aunt glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law eavesdropping by the corner of the wall and frowned, ignoring that woman.

Hearing her own elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu comforted the sighing daughter-in-law.

“The old saying goes, ‘children are blessed on their own.’ Didn’t Old Blind Man say that Xian Yue’s fated one is right in front of her? Don’t you think it’s someone we know?”

Speaking of her daughter’s marital affairs sparked the aunt’s spirit; no longer sighing or despairing.

“Who do you think could be with my Xian Yue—”

“Aunt Su, Aunt Lu.”

The two sisters-in-law looked up when they heard the voices.
