Chapter 154 - 154 Seizing the Child

154 Seizing the Child

During the three days when Su Xiaoxiao was not at home, Father Su exerted his top-notch culinary skills and successfully fed Wei Ting and the three little ones until they became recluses.

Father Su’s heart ached for his daughter, who had been rus.h.i.+ng all day. He decided to cook again tonight.

The three little ones sensibly did not object.

The family was prepared to be poisoned by Father Su’s dark culinary skills again, but Old Li unexpectedly came.

Today, Li Dayong went to the back of the mountain to cut firewood and accidentally caught two fat and big pheasants.

The Li family killed chickens tonight and asked the Su family to go over for dinner.

Su Cheng said politely, “Uncle Li, how can I accept this?”

Old Li quickly said, “Daya is our Li Family’s savior. Don’t…”

Before he could finish speaking, Su Cheng, Su Ergou, and the three little ones had already come out of the house.

The three little ones lined up and waited for food!

When Madam Qian cooked, she originally thought about not eating one and keeping it to sell in town. However, when she thought about how there were many people tonight, she made up her mind and stewed both chickens.

The debt of grat.i.tude was not something that two chickens could repay. Moreover, their family members could also eat.

Halfway through, Su Xiaoxiao came in with a basket.

Mdm Qian looked at her in confusion.

Su Xiaoxiao removed the dry cloth covering the basket and took out the braised meat and pork ribs, with the intent to let Aunt Qian stew them together.

Madam Qian said, “We have two chickens! There’s enough to eat!”

Su Xiaoxiao: “You don’t know anything about the appet.i.te of a cook.”

Madam Qian refused no matter what. How could she invite someone over for a meal and let her guest bring meat over?

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. She picked up the knife and chopped the braised pork ribs before placing them into the pot.

Old Li also invited the village head over. Tonight, the few men would have a drink or two.

Madam Qian stewed two pots of meat dishes.

One pot was chewy, and the men ate it with wine. The other pot was for the children and Mrs. Zhao. The stew was very soft.

Little Mrs. Zhao ate in her room during her confinement period.

Su Xiaoxiao always ate at the table. The Su family didn’t have such strange rules.

Madam Qian accompanied the guests to the table.

Their table was too high for the children to reach. The other table could not accommodate them either, so they set up a small table separately.

The eldest granddaughter, Qiuni, brought the little boys to eat and even thoughtfully picked up food for them.

Su Xiaoxiao sat between Madam Qian and Wei Ting.

She was controlling her diet and eating not eating much.

Madam Qian thought that she was too embarra.s.sed to pick up food, so she grabbed the iron ladle in the pot and scooped a full ladleful for her. She gave Su Xiaoxiao all the fattest and most meaty chicken pieces.

Madam Qian was being kind. It was rare for country b.u.mpkins to see meat and fish. The lean meat was too dry. Not only was this kind of fat fragrant, but it was also filling.

Su Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma because she knew that Madam Qian was being kind.

If she ate it and she would gain ten pounds in one bite.

If she didn’t eat it, it would feel like a snub.

She looked at her father for help.

Father Su was drinking with the village head and Old Li.

“h.e.l.lo, brothers… Five champions… Six, six, nine, nine… Eight horses…”

They were drunk after playing drinking games and their seniority was messed up!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ergou.

Su Ergou buried his head in his food, completely ignoring his sister’s death stare.

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “Where’s the tacit understanding that blood is thicker than water?”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. It seemed like she had lost weight for nothing.

Suddenly, Wei Ting quietly reached over with his chopsticks and picked up the fattest pieces of chicken in her bowl. He ate them very naturally.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and was dumbfounded.

Madam Qian scooped another spoonful for Su Xiaoxiao, and Wei Ting picked out the fat inside to eat.

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and ate the vegetables. Wei Ting didn’t eat fatty meat at home…

Madam Qian was unhappy. “Why do you always take the food in Daya’s bowl? Is the food in Daya’s bowl more fragrant?”

“No…” Su Xiaoxiao tried to explain.

Wei Ting: “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao glared at him.

Do you know what Auntie Qian asked you?

Mother Qian could not hold it in and smiled.

… .

...

After a full meal, the men drank until they staggered. Li Dayong first carried the village head back, then brought Su Cheng back with Su Ergou.

Why did Su Cheng have two people supporting him? Wasn’t it because he was more drunk?

One moment, he was practicing boxing, and the next moment, he was practicing sword techniques… with the little wooden swords of the three little ones.

The three little ones followed suit.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting followed behind them unhurriedly.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, reflecting the light reflected in the snow.

The ground was wet from melting snow for the past few days.

“Be careful.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t fall again.”

Wei Ting hummed nonchalantly.

Due to his actions tonight, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t mind his cold face.

She coughed lightly and said, “Before I went to the prefecture, I told you that I would return the token to you. I’m serious. It’s just that I left it somewhere… I can’t retrieve it…”

...

Wei Ting frowned slightly and quickly regained his cold expression.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure if he believed her or not. Just as she was hesitating to correct her words to be more precise, there was a clattering sound from the Su family.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the lights of the Su family and said to Wei Ting, “Go back first. I’ll go check on Yu Niang.”

After she left, a shadow separated from the night and quietly came behind Wei Ting.

His movements were so light that others would not be able to sense it.

Wei Ting said calmly, “What are you doing now?”

Yuchi Xiu sighed. “I’ve been discovered again. Lord, how did you find out? How did I expose myself? Tell me, I’ll change.”

Wei Ting said, “You’re living.”

Yuchi Xiu was speechless.

Yuchi Xiu couldn’t argue with Wei Ting, so after a bit of self-pity, he decisively changed the topic. “Sir, that girl said just now that she would return the Commander’s Seal to you. Is that true?”

Wei Ting’s eyes turned cold. “I don’t know.”

Yuchi Xiu said, “If it’s true, that’s great! When we get back the Commander’s Seal, we can immediately return to the capital!”

He did not want to stay in this lousy place anymore!

His a.s.s.

His purity…

—-

Su Xiaoxiao heard Su Yuniang’s cries and rushed over.

The Su family’s door was tightly shut from the inside.

She banged on the door a few times, but no one came to open it.

In Su Yuniang’s house, the entire family was in an uproar. It was no wonder that they could not hear the knocking on the door.

“Give me back my baby!”

It was Su Yuniang’s choked voice.

Su Can took a step back with the child in his arms. Su Yuniang pounced forward but was stopped by Su Dalang and Su Erlang.

Su Dalang said earnestly, “Sister! Stop fooling around! The child belongs to the Zheng family. It’s only right for us to send the child back! We can’t keep raising the Zheng family’s child!”

Su Yuniang refuted, “I gave birth to the child after ten months of pregnancy! It’s a piece of flesh that fell from my body! How did it become the Zheng family’s?! The child ate my food and drank my water. Did it cost you one copper coin? I gave the family twenty taels! Can’t it support us?!”

Su Dalang avoided the main point. “This child’s surname is Zheng! She’s from the Zheng family!”

When she was half-dead from the quack’s treatment, her elder brother beat the quack up. She was so touched at that time, but at this moment, she was so disappointed.

Su Yuniang gritted her teeth and said, “Return the child to me! Otherwise, I’ll fight you to the death!”

“Su Yuniang!” Old Master Su called her name.

This was a very strict form of address.

Su Yuniang looked at Old Master Su pleadingly, trying to awaken the last bit of the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them.

“Grandpa, ask Eldest Brother to return the child to me. I worked hard to give birth to the child. It’s mine…”

Old Master Su said, “Since you can’t bear to part with your child, go back to the Zheng family with her.”

Su Yuniang smiled coldly. “You’ve offended the Zheng family, so you want to use me to repay your debt? I wasn’t the one who caused the injury! If you have the ability, give Su Jinniang to the Zheng family as compensation!”

Su Erlang said coldly, “How dare you mention Cripple Feng! If you hadn’t refused to return to the Zheng family, would Cripple Feng have stayed at home?”

These words were exactly the same as Su Jinniang’s.

They were really biological siblings.

Su Yuniang’s heart turned cold. She had completely given up on this family.

She had once thought that her family was her refuge. She was too naive.

A married daughter was like spilled water. From the moment she sat in the bridal sedan, she was already an outsider.

“In order to shut Cripple Feng and Zheng Lanxiu up, you used me to fill in the blanks. Good, good, very good.”

Su Yuniang suddenly smiled.

She laughed crazily.

She stumbled out of the room.

No one stopped her.

They thought that she had finally thought it through and was willing to return to the Zheng family.

At this moment, something unexpected happened!

Su Yuniang suddenly dashed forward to bang her head against the ancestral altar!

Madam Fang: “Yuniang!”

“Sister!”

No one had expected this change. They wanted to stop it, but they were squeezed at the door!

It was too late… Yuniang was about to crash into it…

With a loud clang, the Su family’s door was kicked open!
