Su Ruanruan also pinched Sanzhu's cheeks and said, "Great."

Huo Yan glanced at Su Ruanruan and slowly stroked the teacup with his fingers.

She looks so beautiful and gentle when she smiles at the child.

Huo Yan was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts. How could he have such thoughts? It was really weird.

He coughed softly a few times and walked away tactfully.

Sanzhu's gaze followed him all the time, and the envy in his eyes could not be hidden.

At night, Sanzhu went to bed early, but Xiaoxi couldn't fall asleep.

Su Ruanruan lay beside him and whispered, "Xiaoxi, you must study hard. I will cure your leg when I save enough money."

"Sister, can my leg be healed?"

Su softly touched his fair face, "Of course, if my sister says it's okay, then it must be okay."

"Xiaoxi should stay at your uncle's house and study hard these days, and sister should work hard. As for brother-in-law...study hard like Xiaoxi, and wait for him to pass the imperial examination in the spring."

"Where my brother-in-law goes to be an official in the future, we will follow him, okay?"

Su Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "We? Sister, are you going to take me with you?"

Su Ruanruan tapped his little nose, "Silly child, of course sister and brother-in-law will take you with them. Sister promised mother that she would raise you well."

"Will my brother-in-law dislike me?"

"No, my brother-in-law is very nice. He said that after he takes you to his side to take care of you, he will personally teach you to read and write, just like you are now, you can recognize a lot of words."

"Xiaoxi, go to sleep quickly. When it's daybreak, I'll take you to buy paper, ink, brush and inkstone."

"Okay, Sister is so nice."

Su Ruanruan patted him gently, looking at his cute sleeping face, her thoughts drifting away.

When he was his age, he was extremely envious when he saw other children snuggling in their parents' arms.

She also has parents, but she is lonely and helpless like an orphan, being looked down upon and bullied. There are even naughty children who call her a wild child that no one wants.

The mother was miserable, but she was also hateful, and she hardly ever loved her.

She didn't allow herself to call her mom, so she learned a word with the same attributes as mom - mother.

When she was young, she timidly called out "Mom". Her mother just glanced at her, picked up her wine glass and went back to the bedroom.

Even though a long time has passed, she still remembers how happy she was at that time.

She told herself that she was not a wild child. Others had mothers and she had a mother, and they were the same.

But then...

Because of her mother's departure, her entire childhood was completely shattered and broken.

Having seen her parents' love, hate and passion, she never believed in love. She thought she would be alone and at most keep a few men in the yard to entertain her when she was bored.

But she didn't expect that Mu Bai would be caught off guard and crash into her heart.

In this life, it is enough to have a well-behaved brother and Mu Bai who runs towards her.

She didn't ask for much, didn't demand much, she just wanted to be with them.

On the second day, Su Ruanruan took her two children to a bookstore and bought several enlightenment books.

There are also pens, ink, paper and inkstones that can last the two children for a long time.

He then took them to a restaurant for a big meal and bought a lot of snacks, and then they got on a carriage to town at noon.

After buying some other things in the town, I took my two children on the ox cart to Daohua Village.

That night, Su Ruanruan stayed at her uncle and aunt's house.

In five days' time, Duan Datie will be getting married. It is dark outside the window and the two children have already gone to bed.

Su Ruanruan accompanied her uncle, aunt and Datie to prepare things for the wedding.

Su Ruanruan handed the gift she had prepared to Datie, "Cousin, I have something to do on your wedding day, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come. I wish you and your wife a happy marriage, and may you have a baby soon."

Liu put down her sewing and asked, "Ruanruan, why don't you come? It would be nice to join in the fun."

Su Ruanruan shook her head. "Aunt, if I have time, I will come. If I am really busy, there is nothing I can do."

Liu looked at Su Ruanruan several times, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She guessed that Ruanruan didn't come because she was afraid of what others would say and that it would affect the festive atmosphere.

First he encountered a flower thief, and then there was the incident with Zhou the Butcher. Even if he was innocent, he could not escape the pointing of fingers at others.

The couple were not afraid of what those people said, but she was afraid that some drunkard would say something nonsense and Ruanruan would hear it and be suspicious.

Oh, never mind, just don’t come if you don’t want to.

Liu turned her head and found that her husband and Da Tie were staring at something motionlessly.

She also leaned over to look and saw that it was the thing that Ruanruan had given her.

Although she couldn't read, she still felt that this... looked like a house deed?!

"Ruanruan, this?"

The three of them looked at Su Ruanruan in unison, and Su Ruanruan smiled awkwardly.

"This is the deed to a house on the busiest street in town. It's my wedding gift to Big Brother Tie."

"It's perfect for business in the front hall and living in the backyard."

Uncle Duan Zhuan opened his eyes slightly, "Ruanruan, where did you get the money?"

Duan Datie also quickly pushed the title deed back, "This is too valuable, I can't take it."

"Yes, yes, Ruanruan, your aunt is confused. Where did you get the money?"

"I used to be a member of the Su family. Vampires in that family must be kept secret. Actually, I'm not that poor. I know some medical skills. I saved a rich man by accident before, and he gave me money."

"In fact, the tofu shop also belongs to me. I was afraid that the Su family would find out and take it away. Now that I have severed ties with them, I am not afraid anymore."

Liu exclaimed, "That tofu shop is yours? No wonder, the shopkeeper helped you so much last time in Maoshan Village, this makes sense."

"Oh, that's great, Ruanruan has made a difference. If your parents knew, they would be so happy! But you should keep the house deed. It's too valuable. We can't have it."

Su Ruanruan pushed the deed back again, "This is my gift, uncle, aunt, and cousin, please don't let me down."

"You have taken such good care of Xiaoxi these days, I should thank you. I can't take Xiaoxi to my side to take care of her for the time being, I will have to trouble my uncle and aunt later, just consider this as hard work fee."

Su Ruanruan stuffed the deed back into Datie's hand and said, "Take it, cousin. Live a good life with your cousin's wife. I'm still waiting to drink the baby's full moon wine."

Su Ruanruan's words made Datie, who was not good at talking, blush and he didn't know what to say.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of Datie's wedding, but Su Runrun did not go back.

She didn't want to become a laughing stock at the dinner table because of these things she had done, and she was not afraid of embarrassment.

But she was afraid of embarrassing Duan Zhuan and Liu.

When getting married, it should be festive and not cause trouble for others, right?

In the days that followed, she was busy with store affairs, and sometimes she would go to see how the two shops were being cleaned up.

During this period, she met Huo Yan on the road several times, and he even treated her to dinner once.

The days of missing you are hard to bear, but fortunately everything will pass soon.

In a blink of an eye, Mu Bai has been away for sixteen days. Counting the days, it’s time for him to come back.

Just like last time, Su Ruanruan waited at the city gate every day, looking forward to it.

But no one showed up when the city gates were closed. It was another day when Mu Bai couldn't show up. Su Runruan returned home and cleaned the entire yard inside and out. She also put some wild flowers she picked on the road in a vase, and her mood became much happier when she smelled them.

However, at night, Su Runrun kept tossing and turning, and even had nightmares.
