When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

Su Xiaowan played with Xixi for nearly two hours. The little girl had a lot of fun and gradually forgot about being beaten.

"Xixi, mom is going to cook. Can you stay in the yard and look after the chickens and ducklings?"

It's already half past six. Let's take a break after dinner. The little girl can't play for long before she has to go to bed.

"Okay, Mom." Xixi squatted in front of the little duck.

Looking at the little duck eating the earthworms dug by Su Xiaowan, he clapped his hands excitedly.

Su Xiaowan's frown gradually softened and she hurried to cook.

From time to time, I would say a few words to Xixi, for fear that she would be scared.

When the little duck was full, it went to play in the basin of water by the wall.

Xixi staggered behind, and fell to the ground when she wasn't paying attention. She had to support herself with her little hands to get up.

Suddenly, a pair of rough, calloused hands picked her up.

Old man Xiao has a weathered face and looks much older than his peers.

"Grandpa." Xixi spoke timidly, looking at him with some fear but not breaking free from his hand.

"Okay, Xixi, be good, be careful, and don't fall again."

After carrying the little girl to sit on a low stool nearby, Old Man Xiao stroked her bulging belly with eyes full of pity.

"Ni, does it still hurt?"

Xixi shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Grandpa."

Old man Xiao sighed, took out two eggs from his arms, peeled one and handed it to her.

"Eat this egg quickly, it will make you feel better."

Xixi looked towards the kitchen, but even though she was very greedy, she didn't dare to eat.

"It's okay, grandpa gave it to you. If you eat it, your mother won't scold you. If you eat it, you will grow taller, and your brother won't beat you."

Old man Xiao coaxed her in a low voice, urging her to eat quickly.

Xixi didn't eat much at noon, so she was very hungry. She took a bite and put it to Old Man Xiao's mouth.

She shouted softly, "Grandpa eats too."

Old man Xiao pushed the egg back, his face full of relief, "Ni, eat it. Grandpa doesn't like it."

Xixi said "oh" and ate it bite by bite. She finished one in a short while.

"Hehe, take this and ask your mother to cook it for you tomorrow."

Old man Xiao put another egg in Xixi's hand and touched her thin face, feeling helpless and sad.

"Grandpa, eat at home." Xixi shouted anxiously when she saw him leaving.

Old man Xiao didn't say anything, but he walked very quickly.

"Xixi, who are you talking to?"

After Su Xiaowan finished cooking, she heard Xixi's voice and hurried out.

"Mom." Xixi handed the egg in her hand to her.

Su Xiaowan was very surprised, "Where did the eggs come from?"

"Grandpa gave it to me." Xixi pointed outside, "Grandpa gave me one to eat, and I'll eat this tomorrow."

"Your grandfather is here." Su Xiaowan got up and hurried out, but did not see the old man Xiao.

"Well, grandpa gave me eggs and asked me if it hurt." Xixi blinked her eyes, looking innocent and pure.

Su Xiaowan took the eggs and carried Xixi into the house, feeling mixed emotions.

"Mom will make you these eggs tomorrow. If you eat one today, you can't eat any more."

Xixi nodded sensibly, sat on the stool, and had dinner with Su Xiaowan.

After dinner, Su Xiaowan rubbed the bump on Xixi's forehead. After that, she gave her a bath and taught her to read.

When it was almost eight o'clock, the little girl was very sleepy. Su Xiaowan waited until she fell asleep before getting up to take a shower.

After everything was done, Su Xiaowan lay on the bed, feeling very confused.

Looking at the bulge on Xixi's head, tears couldn't help but flow out of my eyes at that moment.

This kind of thing had happened in her previous life, but she didn't care at all. Now that she thinks about it, it was all because of her that Xixi became like that when she grew up in her previous life.

If she had cared more about her, the child wouldn't have become like that.

Even though she taught Erdan a lesson today, Su Xiaowan still felt uneasy.

In his previous life, Erdan grew up to be lazy and gluttonous, wandering around the villages all day long.

But it is impossible to completely cut off ties with the Xiao family. The only way is to avoid them as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaowan sighed again. She was making money too slowly. If she wanted to leave the village, she must have enough money.

For two consecutive days, Su Xiaowan stayed at home with Xixi. The little girl was very cheerful with her mother by her side.

On the third day, Su Xiaowan left Xixi to Su Ting and went to the mountains herself.

She hadn't sold jelly for a few days and was worried that her old customers might stop buying it.

This time, she made jelly and more than ten pounds of cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata as usual.

When they arrived at the usual place where they sold things, Su Xiaowan put the things in place and soon people came to buy them.

I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t been here for a few days, but there are so many people buying today.

Su Xiaowan was so busy that before half past ten, most of the jelly was sold out, but there were still two or three pounds of Houttuynia cordata left.

She looked at the people coming and going, waiting for them to sell all the remaining Houttuynia cordata before going back.

Song Nancheng's voice came, "Sister, you are finally here."

Su Xiaowan looked up and saw him walking towards her from not far away. His steps were a little hurried and his eyes were fixed on the bucket in front of her.

"Boss Song, what would you like to order?" Su Xiaowan asked with a faint smile.

"How much jelly and houttuynia do you have left?"

Looking at the almost empty bucket and the two or three pounds of Houttuynia cordata, Song Nancheng felt helpless.

He came late.

"It's all here. Boss Song, do you want a lot?"

"To be honest, the customers in the cafeteria really liked the ones I bought last time. I've been looking for you these past few days, but I haven't seen you."

Song Nancheng was extremely anxious. He finally saw that the canteen business was improving, but he couldn't find anyone.

"It'll take at least 100 kilograms. Thirty or forty kilograms of Houttuynia cordata will do. Can you do that?"

"So many!" Su Xiaowan was shocked. "It's definitely too late today, but it should be possible tomorrow."

"If Boss Song can wait, I'll get it for you tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow, if you can make more, then make more. It must be delivered to the cafeteria before eleven o'clock."

Su Xiaowan readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll prepare it when I get home and send it to you tomorrow morning."

As she said this, she packed up the remaining houttuynia and jelly, "Boss Song, take these back with you. Thank you for taking care of my business."

"Girl, you are so honest." Song Nancheng took it and gave her a deposit of 20 yuan.

"Take this first, as a deposit. When it's delivered tomorrow, I'll give you the rest."

Su Xiaowan smiled and took it, "Okay, Boss Song trusts me so much, I will make the best things."

After chatting for a while, Song Nancheng left. Su Xiaowan went to buy some meat and went home.

At noon, she stewed lean meat soup for Xixi and fried some beans and eggplant for herself.

When Su Ting sent Xixi back, she pulled Su Ting and said, "Sister Ting, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"It's nothing, what's wrong?"

Su Xiaowan told Song Nancheng all the goods he wanted. "This is a large quantity. I definitely can't handle it alone. I want to ask Sister Ting to help me. I'll pay you."
