Chapter 48 – Deceit (2)
Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting’s room.
“Should I bring the food here for you, or are you going to go out and eat together with us?” She asked.
Wei Ting looked at the three kids running around in the main hall and said, “I’m going out to eat.”
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bedside.
“What are you doing?”
“Help you ah, or can you walk by yourself? Don’t break your left leg again! It’s my medicine that’s being wasted!”
Wei Ting frowned. He probably wanted Su Ergou to come over, but after hesitating for a moment, he still handed his hand to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao helped him to the main room and helped him to sit down.
“Brother-in-law! How are your injuries? Do you feel much better?” Su Ergou asked.
For this call of ‘brother-in-law’, it wasn’t right for Wei Ting to agree, but it also wasn’t right for him to disagree. So he could only say, “It’s much better.”
Wei Ting sat opposite of Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao’s left side were the three little ones, and her right side was Su Ergou.
It was too short for the three little ones to sit down. So Su Xiaoxiao moved the chair closer against the table and let the three little ones stand on the chair to eat.
-Ancient Chinese Dining Table
Su Ergou picked up the bowls and chopsticks, then he leaned close to Su Xiaoxiao’s ear and whispered, “Jie, my brother-in-law is handsome, isn’t he? Dad and I didn’t lie to you, right? Doesn’t he look a hundred times more handsome than He Tongsheng? I have told you earlier that you will definitely like it!”
Wei Ting ate the food in a leisurely manner.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Wei Ting and squeezed out a voice from the gap between her teeth: “Can you still speak any louder? Eat your food!”
“Oh.” Su Ergou buried his head and focused on eating his food.
The three little ones earnestly ate their food, but because they were too small, the table was messy with their food.
And now, it was Wei Ting’s turn to see Su Xiaoxiao.
There was no slightest trace of impatience or boredom in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
Wei Ting’s heart felt relieved. He picked up a piece of meat that was in front of him, then he ate, tasted it, and paused.
“What kind of dish is this?”
He asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it and said, “What’s wrong? Is it not delicious?”
Wei Ting thought for a while and said, “It’s not like that, it’s just… the taste is a bit strange.”
“It’s pork kidney.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
-Pork kidney dishes
“Cough! Cough cough!” Wei Ting choked. He turned his head away from the table and started coughing violently.
After coughing, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock. “Say it again, what is this?”
“Pork kidney ah!” Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, “I used yellow rice wine to remove the fishy smell! Doesn’t it taste tender, fresh and tasty?”\n-Yellow Rice Wine / Huangjiu. It is one of the oldest wines in the world, it is called the world’s three major ancient wines. The general alcohol content is 14%-20%, which belongs to low-alcohol brewing wine.
Wei Ting suddenly felt that the dishes in the bowl were not edible anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the dish in front of him and said, “I specially bought it for you. It’s to heal and nourish your waist. You have to eat more!”
Wei Ting clenched his chopsticks with his hand and said, “My… waist… is very good!”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the three little ones and nodded thoughtfully.
Wei Ting: “.…..”
He didn’t mean that!
After nightfall, Father Su finally came back. He had run around for a whole day. First, he got 15 taels of silver from the debt note of the He family, then he went to help Old Cheng’s orphan family to pay their debts one by one.
As for the last remaining 7 taels, the Cheng family didn’t want to receive it, no matter what he said. So he secretly stuffed it into the Cheng family’s wardrobe.
After his worry was settled, he was finally able to close his eyes. When Su Xiaoxiao brought the dinner into his room, he was already sound asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao went back to her room.
While she was counting the accounts in her mind, she was also figuring out what she should do for the following business.
In her previous life, she had never worried about money. But now, she really wished that she could break one copper coin into two for her to use.
The three little ones came to sleep with her again tonight, but Su Xiaoxiao firmly rejected them.
So the three little ones could only go to sleep with Su Ergou.
Just after sleeping for a while, Su Ergou suddenly screamed from the west room: “Aaah aaaah! It’s wet! It’s pee!”
Can you guess who wet the bed?
