Chapter 66: 66th Chapter Danger

“Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Brother Lu noticed something was off with his wife and asked softly.

“Are you stunned by the delicious food?”

The dazed Jiang Nan: “…”

Xiao Xue held up a meat bun, bigger than her own fist, to show her mom.

“Mom, the meat bun is so delicious!”

Xiao Yu nodded, tore the bun in half, and handed it to her mom.

“Mom, you eat, the meat buns Aunt Xian Yue made are really tasty.”

Watching her daughters’ faces smeared with juice as they ate, Jiang Nan stiffly tugged at the corners of her mouth.

The bun in her mouth was tasteless, and her heart was sour.

After the meal, Brother Lu and his younger brother’s family went back.

Susu took Father Lu and Mrs. Lu home to rest before coming back for dinner.

The store had Aunt Xian Yue, Xiao Long, and Da Hua cooking, and a grandma cleaning and washing dishes.

To make it convenient for Aunt Xian Yue to work, Xiao Sun rented a place nearby.

They originally planned to rent a main room and move Grandpa Sun and Granny Sun over, so a family of four could live together.

The old couple refused to agree, and the young couple couldn’t persuade the elders, so they had to give up.

Over three days, the crowd in the shop gradually returned to normal.

The flow of customers wasn’t as high as during the first three days of opening, but the business each day was still very good.

The shop therefore settled on three cooks and one cleaner grandma, and Lu Xiaomei would come to help whenever she was on vacation.

The Finance and Economics College was not far from there.

Father Lu still had to work, so he went back to the county that night.

Mrs. Lu stayed in the Provincial City, planning to stay for a few days.

After all, whether she was there or not didn’t greatly affect the business in the county.

Susu took Mrs. Lu to the Department Store, and they bought whatever they liked.

By the end, both mother and daughter-in-law could hardly carry any more.

When they went, they had empty hands, but they returned carrying stuff to the brim.

Of course, most of the things were carried by Mrs. Lu.

“Mom, take this fabric back for you and Dad to make clothes, and this scarf too…”

Mrs. Lu was stunned, all for her and the old man?

“Susu, why is it all for your dad and me? No, no, leave some for you and your second brother.”

Susu, seeing Mrs. Lu shaking her head and waving her hands, couldn’t help but laugh.

“Mom, I specifically bought them for you and Dad, we already have our own.”

Hearing it was all for her and the old man, Mrs. Lu instantly felt a pang.

She scolded, “Had I known it was all for your dad and me, I would have stopped you.

You’re too extravagant, child. Your dad and I still have clothes. Don’t buy anymore next time.”

Susu nodded in agreement, thinking to herself that she would still buy next time.

“Gurulu~”

Susu awkwardly covered her stomach.

“Having shopped for so long, you must be hungry, right?”

Mrs. Lu rolled up her sleeves, took three eggs, and went out, “Let me make you three fried eggs to tide you over.”

“What else do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

As Susu smelled the fragrance of the fried eggs, she thought for a moment, then ordered a pork stew from her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Lu served the oily fried eggs into a bowl, put on her cotton-padded jacket, and went out to buy pork.

Sister Wang next door had already heard the mother and daughter-in-law and was smiling at the doorstep.

“Xiao Su, your mother-in-law treats you really well, frying eggs for you and even specially running out to buy pork.”

“Sister, please come in and sit.” Susu called.

Sister Wang waved her hand, “No, my husband Old Song and the kids will be back soon, I need to hurry and cook.”

…

“Aunt Lu, are you out buying groceries?”

“Yes, just picking up some stuff to make a stew when I get back.”

“Okay, you better hurry. The men will be back soon too.”

…

What Susu didn’t know was that, in just the span of an afternoon,

news had spread all over the Family Court, and there wasn’t a sister-in-law who wasn’t envious.

Some of the old ladies, upon hearing this, even gossiped that Mrs. Lu hadn’t asserted her authority as a mother-in-law.

Instead, she was fussing over her daughter-in-law, which would have been laughable in the past.

“Second son, look what Susu bought for your mom and dad.”

After finishing their meal, Mrs. Lu started to show off each item to her second son.

Lu Xiaoting raised an eyebrow, “My wife sure has a good taste.”

“Nonsense! As if you needed to say that.”

Mrs. Lu glared at her son with a look of disdain.

“What’s the use of a bratty boy, can’t even pamper his old mom, only daughters are good.”

After being scolded by his own mother, Lu Xiaoting helplessly turned to his wife as the decision-maker.

“Wife, look at your mother-in-law. I did nothing, and yet I got a whole earful.”

Susu: “…”

Seeing a nearly six-foot-two, tough man showing a pitiful little expression, Susu couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing like a piggy.

Xiao Yu, having finished his homework, looked at Grandma then at Uncle, turning his head to see Auntie shaking with laughter.

The little guy covered his mouth and giggled, his large and bright eyes curving into crescents.

Tugging at his grandma’s sturdy palm, “Grandma, can we stop scolding Uncle?”

“Uncle looks so pitiful!”

Mrs. Lu hugged the little round-faced guy tightly, feeling warm and joyful.

“Oh, our Xiao Yu is so good. Don’t be like your scoundrel uncle when you grow up.

When Xiao Yu grows up, will you take good care of your Auntie?”

“Hmm!”

Xiao Yu blinked his big eyes earnestly, his little face serious.

He nodded solemnly, “Later, I must take good care of Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa, Grandma, and Little Aunt.

I also need to take good care of my little brothers and sisters…”

Listening to the little guy’s childish but firm voice, the adults felt both happy and heartache.

Susu held Xiao Yu’s hand, “Auntie only hopes our Xiao Yu has happiness, health, joy, and safety.”

…

Close to the end of the year, the streets recently saw many shifty-looking young people.

“Wife, several cases of burglary have been happening recently, give a heads up to Xiao Long and Da Niu.”

Susu was surprised and nodded, “Okay, Sister Su. We’ll definitely be vigilant at night, and we won’t let the bad guys succeed!”

“Yes, we definitely won’t let our shop be robbed.”

Xiao Long and Dashan clenched their fists, ready to fight to the end if necessary.

Susu, worried the two teenagers were rash and too impulsive,

Repeatedly instructed them to run if necessary, and by no means should they fight with those people.

After receiving their promise, she finally relaxed.

In a little while, customers began to trickle into the shop.

The previous conversation ended as everyone got busy with their tasks.

While waiting for Lu Xiaoting to pick her up, Susu was not idle either, browsing through the account book records.

However, as everyone inside was busy, they were completely unaware that danger was starting to approach.

At this moment, across from the small restaurant, a few young men with messy hair were squatting.
