Su Xiaoxiao turned around and asked doubtfully, "Butler Wang, is there anything else?"

"You forgot your fish!" Butler Wang pointed to the backpack beside him.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the backpack and slapped her forehead.

I was so happy that I forgot about the backpack.

Although I am rich now and can buy new things, I cannot throw away the old backpack.

As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown to the public.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, especially trouble at the Su family's old house, she still has to keep a low profile.

She walked to the backpack, took out the wooden barrel containing the fish, went into the small kitchen, poured the still lively fish into the wooden basin, and put the empty barrel back into the backpack.

She put on her backpack and said to Butler Wang with an innocent smile, "Consider this fish my filial piety to you. I look forward to seeing you next time."

After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Butler Wang didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to do this and smiled indulgently.

This lively personality is really similar to his lovely granddaughter!

Before leaving the palace, Su Xiaoxiao took out two pieces of silver and some copper coins from her purse and put them in her pocket to make it easier to buy things.

The rest was put into his arms, near his inner garment.

Unlike other time travelers, she did not have any universal storage space where she could put her silver without worrying about it being stolen.

She has to rely on herself for everything and be careful not to be stolen by thieves.

After hiding the silver, she made sure that no one could see the difference in her chest before she walked out of the palace gate with peace of mind.

With the money, the first thing she did was to go to the pharmacy.

She asked the doctor to treat the injury on her head first, and then told him about Zhao Wanzhu's condition.

The doctor was experienced and immediately diagnosed Zhao Wanzhu's illness and prescribed the right medicine.

After getting the medicine, Su Xiaoxiao went straight to the grain and oil shop.

The house was short of everything, including rice, flour, oil and various seasonings, so she had to buy some of them.

In order not to attract the attention of the villagers, she bought only a small amount of each item and waited until she had finished eating before buying more, so that no one would notice.

The main reason she did this was to prevent the Su family's old house.

If they knew she had money or food, they would definitely cause trouble.

Although she was not afraid of them, she thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

When she has the conditions in the future, she will take her family away from this place of trouble.

She put everything she bought into her backpack and went to buy the side dishes needed to make hot dry noodles.

She wanted her family to try the hot dry noodles. If they liked it, she would set up a stall and start a small business selling hot dry noodles.

This unique southern snack should be very popular.

Before leaving, she bought a piece of pork and put it in her backpack, and went back to give her family a meat treat.

She hummed a little tune and walked home happily, but she didn't know that her home was experiencing a bloody storm.

Hu Xiumei and Su Sheng's fat wife Liu Cuihua stood in the yard of Su Xiaoxiao's house in a domineering manner.

Zhao Wanzhu's face was as pale as paper, and she sat weakly at Hu Xiumei's feet.

There was a clear trace of dragging under Zhao Wanzhu's body. It was not difficult to guess that she was dragged out of the house alive.

"Mom, Xiaoxiao is only fifteen. How can she marry Han Tiezhu, who is over forty years old?"

Zhao Wanzhu pulled Hu Xiumei's trouser leg and cried weakly.

Han Tiezhu is from Hanjia Village and is also a well-known domestic violence man in the surrounding villages.

His family has a lot of land and is better off financially than anyone else, so he can offer a higher dowry than anyone else to marry a daughter-in-law.

He always thinks he is noble and superior to others.

He also looked down on the women he married and either beat or scolded them.

He is also an alcoholic and likes to beat his wife when he is drunk.

Not long ago, he accidentally beat his fourth daughter-in-law to death.

Even if Zhao Wanzhu risked her life, she would not let her daughter marry such a man.

Hu Xiumei kicked Zhao Wanzhu away and brushed her trouser legs in disgust.

"Su Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter. As long as I'm here, it's not your turn to make decisions in this family. I can marry her to whoever I want. You, a jinx, have no say!"

Yesterday she failed to send Su Xiaoxiao to arrange a ghost marriage, lost five taels of silver, and was beaten by Su Xiaoxiao. She was very unwilling and went to find Han Tiezhu.

Hu Xiumei made the decision on her own and asked Su Xiaoxiao to marry Han Tiezhu, in exchange for Han Tiezhu paying a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.

The two sides hit it off.

To show his sincerity, Han Tiezhu first paid two taels of silver as a deposit, and would pay the remaining silver after the matter was completed.

They agreed that Han Tiezhu would go to the Su family's old house to pick up the people this morning and make up the remaining eight taels of silver.

After eating and tidying up everything at home, Hu Xiumei and Liu Cuihua rushed to Su Xiaoxiao's house without stopping, but they didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao was not at home.

Liu Cuihua took two steps to Zhao Wanzhu, grabbed her hair angrily and yelled at her.

"Where did you hide Su Xiaoxiao? Hand her over now!"

Su Chengen rushed over with red eyes to stop him.

"Aunt, let my mother go. She's in pain!"

Liu Cuihua became annoyed when she saw Su Chengen, so she let go of Zhao Wanzhu and slapped Su Chengen twice.

"Get out of here, you big fool."

Two slap marks instantly appeared on Su Chengen's thin cheeks.

"Auntie hits people, auntie is so mean! Wuuuuuuu..."

"Shut up! If you don't I'll hit you!"

Su Chengen subconsciously hugged his head, but had no intention of leaving.

His sister is not at home, so he wants to protect his mother.

Liu Cuihua was not polite either and slapped Su Chengen several times in a row.

The quarrel attracted villagers to watch.

Hu Xiumei felt that the beating was almost over, and it was not good to let outsiders see them beating a fool, so she spoke softly.

"Forget it, why bother arguing with a fool? The main thing now is to find that little bitch Su Xiaoxiao and then tie her up and take her away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuihua obediently took a few steps back.

Hu Xiumei threatened Zhao Wanzhu, "If you don't hand over Su Xiaoxiao, I will sell you, this evil creature, to a brothel."

No matter how Hu Xiumei threatened, Zhao Wanzhu refused to speak.

She just prayed in her heart that Su Xiaoxiao would not come back.

If they can't find Su Xiaoxiao, they will naturally leave.

This completely infuriated Hu Xiumei, and she picked up the broom beside her and was about to hit Zhao Wanzhu.

The onlookers couldn't bear to watch it anymore and started to talk in low voices.

"Can Zhao Wanzhu withstand Hu Xiumei's attack with that kind of strength? Someone might die!"

"The Su family is really going too far. Yesterday they forced Su Xiaoxiao into a ghost marriage, and today they want her to be the old man's fifth wife. This is simply a sin!"

"That's right, is the Su family so short of money? And they even called Su Yong's family a troublemaker. But it's obviously her who is the troublemaker."

"Who says it's not true? If Hu Xiumei hadn't been so persistent, how could Su Yong have died outside?"

Their conversation was heard by Hu Xiumei, who turned around and cursed at them.

"Which rotten mouth is gossiping behind my back? If you have the guts, say it to my face or I'll tear her mouth apart!"

No one wanted to provoke Hu Xiumei, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out, so they had to keep their mouths shut.

Seeing this, Hu Xiumei snorted coldly, "Coward!"
