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

"Don't move, I'll hug you." Xiao Beiguo's voice was a little hoarse, and only at this moment did he feel more at ease.

Su Xiaowan frowned slightly. Xiao Beiguo had experienced such an incident in his previous life. She remembered that he encountered big trouble in business that time and it was very difficult to solve.

At that time, because she had not been able to conceive a son, she pushed him away and had a big fight with him.

After that night, Xiao Beiguo slept separately from her. Because of this, he worked day and night in the following years and his health deteriorated.

Su Xiaowan wanted to turn around, but she was held too tightly and she couldn't move at all.

Thinking that he came home so late, she asked quietly, "Did something happen at the sales?"

Xiao Beiguo spoke after a while, "Something happened, but it's been resolved."

He nearly lost his life in it, but luckily Zhiwei was smart and the two of them survived the night.

"Xiao Beiguo, I think your business is difficult to run. Why don't you stop doing this and find something to do at home?"

She is earning a lot of money now, and if they work harder, their lives will definitely get better.

"Wait until I sell the goods I have."

Xiao Beiguo is still scared after this incident. He was lucky this time, but who can guarantee it will be the same next time?

"Okay, you can arrange this matter. Although my business may not make a lot of money, it will definitely be enough for our family to eat and use."

Although Su Xiaowan wanted to make money, she hoped Xiao Beiguo would be well more than that.

"Okay, I'll follow you when I finish dealing with the goods on hand. When I have nothing to do, I'll do some odd jobs."

"Okay." Su Xiaowan didn't say much, and asked, "Bring Zhaodi out, what did Second Uncle say?"

"Your second uncle was reluctant at first. He asked someone to tell Zhaodi about her husband's family. The other party was a widower who was almost 40 years old and had three sons. He said he would give a betrothal gift of 100 yuan and asked Zhaodi to go."

"Second uncle is crazy about money!" Su Xiaowan was furious. Not to mention their age, with these three kids, how would Zhaodi have a good life in the future?

"I told your second uncle that I would take Zhaodi out to find a job and give the family ten yuan a month, and only then did he agree."

Su Xiaowan was so angry, "Second Uncle is clearly treating Zhaodi as a cash cow!"

No wonder the little girl looked so timid and uneasy. She was probably worried that my coming here would cause her trouble.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, Zhaodi has been well educated. In the future, she will follow you in doing business, and I will feel more at ease when I go out."

Su Xiaowan nodded, "Well, Zhaodi is a good girl. I still have a lot of work to do in September. If it's someone I'm not familiar with, I won't feel at ease."

"Okay, you can arrange the wages and other things. I'll take a nap first. I'm so sleepy." Xiao Beiguo's voice was filled with deep fatigue.

"Go to sleep." Before Su Xiaowan finished her words, she heard his shallow breathing in her ears.

He fell asleep in seconds. How tired must he be to fall asleep so quickly?

Su Xiaowan woke up not long after sleeping. The eaves were piled with grass jelly, and Old Man Xiao and Su Zhaodi were already sitting there sorting them out.

She took a stool and sat down, "Dad, Zhaodi, why didn't you get some more sleep? This work is not urgent."

She didn't have to go to the mountain in the afternoon, and she had Old Man Xiao and Xiao Beiguo to help her. Now with Su Zhaodi, she felt a lot more relaxed.

"I'm old now, and I sleep too long during the day and can't sleep at night. Now Dad can only do these for you." Old man Xiao was full of guilt.

"Dad, why are you saying all this? I don't know how much more free time I have had since you came home. Xixi even has someone to take care of her and play with her." Su Xiaowan was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

"This is what I should do. It's my dad's fault that you have to suffer." Old man Xiao's eyes were full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Dad, forget about the past. You should live a stable life from now on. Beiguo and I will take care of you in your old age."

Old man Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. He had lived a mediocre life, but he never expected that someone would take care of him in his old age.

"Well, you and Beiguo are both filial children."

Su Xiaowan didn't say anything else, but looked at Su Zhaodi and said, "Zhaodi, are my father and mother okay?"

"It's okay. My aunt asked me to tell you not to worry about home and live a good life with your brother-in-law." Su Zhaodi said softly.

"I know. I haven't been back home in the past two years. Mom is probably worried that my life is hard and doesn't want me to worry."

Thinking about her previous life, she was unwilling to go back to her mother's home in order to give birth to a son, but when she was dying, it was her mother who took care of her.

Su Xiaowan felt remorseful and guilty in her heart. As a wife, she failed to take good care of her man; as a mother, she failed to educate Xixi well; as a son, she failed to be filial to her parents.

In her previous life, she was such a failure!

"Sister Xiaowan, Auntie hopes you can live a good life. She won't mind that you didn't go back."

Su Zhaodi knew more or less about Su Xiaowan's affairs, and she did not forget to say, "This time when my brother-in-law went back, he bought a lot of things for Auntie."

"It's time to buy it." Su Xiaowan was surprised that Xiao Beiguo could be so thoughtful.

Even though something happened last night, he was still able to do things so well.

The two sisters were chatting, and Old Man Xiao would say a few words from time to time.

With help from others, Su Ting also went to look for agar-agar grass in the afternoon in order to have a better supply.

After dinner in the evening, Su Xiaowan started to prepare grass jelly. Su Zhaodi helped Xixi give her a bath and then went into the kitchen.

Looking at the fragrant and rich grass jelly cooked by Su Xiaowan, he was very surprised, "Sister Xiaowan, you made it so fragrant."

"The grass jelly must be cooked until it is thick and the heat must be well controlled so that it is fragrant and refreshing."

Su Zhaodi stepped forward and looked at it carefully. "Sister Xiaowan, my brother-in-law said that you do business, is this what you sell?"

"Well, I guess this one won't be sold for long. I'll have to sell something else next month."

"Zhao Di, if you work with me, I'll pay you 20 yuan a month, and I'll pay for your food and lodging, okay?"

"Sister Xiaowan, just give me ten dollars. I'm already very grateful that you can take me out of my home."

As Su Zhaodi spoke, her eyes turned red and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Silly girl, it's okay. As long as I'm here, I won't let you down. Just follow me and do your best. I'll find you a better family. Don't listen to your father."

Su Xiaowan felt sorry for this little girl from the bottom of her heart. Her life was even more miserable than hers.

At least she has a mother who loves her, but Su Zhaodi is not loved by her father or mother, and is bullied by the whole family.

"Well, I will definitely work hard with Sister Xiaowan. As long as I can have food to eat, I don't care."

She didn't want to go back to that home at all.

"Okay, you just follow me for the next two days. Tomorrow we'll go to the market to deliver goods, and when we come back I'll teach you how to do something else."

With Su Zhaodi's help, Su Xiaowan finished her bath and lay down early.

Xiao Beiguo took a shower and took out a wad of money from his wallet and gave it to her.

"So much!" Su Xiaowan was stunned when she saw it. It was at least a thousand yuan.

Could it be that this man was engaged in profiteering last night?
