After the matter at the Children's Palace was settled, Su Chen finished the pot of porridge in a few mouthfuls and went to get another bowl.

"Sister, next time you can learn how to make fried dough sticks. You might be used to eating it at Uncle Zhang's stall, and it always feels weird to eat pot-side paste without fried dough sticks."

Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes rudely: "It's good enough that I gave it to you to eat, but you're still picky. Let me tell you, Uncle Zhang's pot-side paste is not as delicious as ours. Look at how much stuff is in it? Dried scallops, shrimp, and dried clams..."

Liu Chunhua nodded: "That's right, eating fried dough sticks will make you get a sore throat."

After thinking about it, she realized that Su Chen might not be afraid of getting angry, so she made another excuse: "How much oil does it take to fry youtiao? Just to eat a few youtiao in the morning, what a waste!"

"You really want to eat...old man!"

Old man Su had just taken Yueyue downstairs when he was ordered around.

Su Chen hurriedly stood up: "I'll go, I'll go."

Then he asked Yueyue: "Do you want to eat fried dough sticks?"

The little guy immediately jumped and nodded: "Yes!"

After sleeping for a night, the little braids had a lot of hair blown out, making her look extremely cute.

Su Chen went over and touched her little head: "Then let your aunt comb your hair first. Dad will go buy some and will be back soon."

"Hmm."

Yueyue ran to Su Xiaozhu happily and held her hands: "Aunt Xiaozhu, look..."

Su Xiaozhu turned around with the comb in her hand and saw the shiny hairpin in the little hand. She was stunned for a moment: "Yueyue, who gave this to you?"

The little guy was very proud: "Sister Xiaoxuan!"

Su Xiaozhu looked at Su Xiaoyan, who also looked confused: "I don't know."

"Xiaoxuan must have bought it secretly with her own pocket money."

"This hairpin looks quite expensive, doesn't it?" Liu Chunhua felt a little distressed about the money again.

Su Xiaoyan patted her arm: "Mom, look at your wrist before you speak."

Liu Chunhua glanced at the large gold bracelet and grinned, "That's right, I just bought a hairpin for the kids. I'll reimburse Xiaoxuan later!"

It was a rare occasion for her to be generous, and Su Xiaoyan immediately brought Xiaoxuan, who was reading English by the lake outside, in.

"Mom, give me money!"

Liu Chunhua rolled her eyes.

"How can I owe Xiaoxuan this little money? Give it to me, I'll give it to you, right?"

When I asked, I found out that Xiaoxuan not only bought it for Yueyue, but for all her sisters.

Liu Chunhua felt much more comfortable with the money she received.

"Look, look, how sensible is our Xiaoxuan? She even knows that her sisters are buying it, so it's fair!"

"Mom, how old is she? She's still praising me like a child."

"How old are you? Shouldn't I still praise you?"

The two college student tutors next to them were trying to hold back their laughter, and Su Xiaozhu also pursed her lips.

When Su Chen came back with two large bags of fried dough sticks, the table was full of people.

Yueyue took the fried dough stick and took a bite, then kept scratching Su Chen's thigh.

When Su Chen picked him up, he pointed at his head happily.

"Dad, look~"

"Hey, where did you get such a beautiful hairpin?"

"Hehe, Sister Xuanxuan."

Liu Chunhua couldn't bear to watch.

She reached out and pinched Yueyue's chubby cheeks: "I don't know who this girl learned this from. Why is she so conceited?"

Before Su Chen came back, Yueyue gathered a group of people and insisted that everyone say she was beautiful.

Su Xiaoyan sipped her pot-side porridge while mumbling, "Who else can I imitate? Ah Chen, you've always been so conceited since you were little!"

Su Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes, I have been looking in the mirror every day since I was in my teens."

Jiang Wanshui chuckled: "Looking in the mirror is nothing. He even asked me to buy him hairspray before. Do you remember? Before we got married, he had his hair combed back every day..."

Su Chen quickly interrupted him: "Hey, hey, hey, brother-in-law, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

After burping twice and finishing the hot pot with Jiang Wanshui and Wu Siwang, Su Chen went to Chunming Street.

Wang Haitao arrived just as the stall was set up.

Su Chen saw the dark circles under his eyes and frowned: "Did you go to wash your feet again last night?"

"How is that possible? How can I go alone without Lao Dong?"

Who's paying?

Although he recently won a bonus, he has not received the money yet and is still poor.

Mentioning Dong Rongjin, Su Chen wondered: "What has he been busy with recently?"

I haven't seen them since I came back from Lu Island with Master Zhang.

"Stop talking. I'm in great pain."

"Master Zhang said he was a bit of a blockhead and insisted on taking him to visit several famous tombs in Cuicheng and asking him to talk about Feng Shui."

Su Chen nodded: "On-site teaching, it's pretty good!"

Wang Haitao grinned: "Hey, I heard he would sleep in the cemetery at night. He even brought a tent. Master Zhang slept alone, so he was kicked out."

Su Chen: "..."

You're so gloating...

The next moment, Wang Haitao said seriously, "By the way, three people died in Liangshan Town last night. Master Su, did you know about this?"

"Three?"

Besides the one who worships the Mao ghost god, who else is there?

"One is from outside the area, and the other two are a mother and son."

"Do you know who those mother and son are?"

Su Chen was stunned.

"It's about the guy from my uncle's village who died last night, his wife, and his youngest son."

Sure enough it was them.

"Oh, so pitiful. I heard she was sold. She was blocked while trying to escape last night. Luckily it was still light outside and the people in town helped her escape. But when she returned to her parents' home, she was locked out by her sister-in-law and scolded for over half an hour."

"Where are her parents?" Su Chen asked.

"No sound~"

"I heard she stood outside her house for over an hour before heading to the station. Isn't there a small bridge in your Liangshan Town?"

Su Chen nodded.

"Maybe she didn't think clearly when she passed that bridge. She threw her things away, grabbed her child and jumped off."

Wang Haitao sighed again, "If only it were two or three months later, during the flood season, the water under the bridge wouldn't be so shallow..."

"I heard his head exploded..."

Su Chen was silent.

Last night when he went to Shanqian Village, the sky was already dark, so he didn't look closely at Aunt Yue's face. If...

After a moment, he let out a breath.

"This is life."

Wang Haitao nodded: "Yes, this is fate."

"I heard Captain Zhang say that at that time she didn't know her husband was dead. If she had known, she might not have jumped off the bridge."

"Of course, the main culprit is her family. Isn't it true that married daughters in Cuicheng are like spilled water?"

"The girl is already like this, not to mention making her a bowl of hot soup or hot noodles, she's not even allowed into the house. This is too..."

Facing Su Chen's calm eyes, Wang Haitao waved his hands: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, that, that..."

He felt a little embarrassed.

Su Chen glanced at him twice, his eyes fell on his treasury, and silently opened one of the boxes he brought, took out two stacks and handed them to him.

"Hehe, Master Su, it turns out I'm still quick to find you!"

"Look, I'm so shy that I'm embarrassed to borrow money from others."

Su Chen: "..."

"The main reason is that other people don't have money either."

"Yes, yes, Master Su, you are absolutely right!"

"roll!"

"Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."

Su Chen closed the box and turned to talk to A Biao. The latter immediately made a phone call and helped him carry the box to the bank to deposit the money.

A Kui's friend's surname is Xie, and her name is Xie Jing. She was A Kui's classmate in junior high and high school. She is a very wealthy woman.

After saving the money, she diligently got two bags of rice and a barrel of oil for Su Chen.

Su Chen wanted to take it, but she put it down.

He smiled at Su Chen and said, "I heard you set up a stall on Chunming Street, right? These must be hard to carry. How about I send them to your house?"
