BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14
Su Xiaoxiao corrected them.
“Mother.”
The three little ones were stubborn.
Su Xiaoxiao’s head hurt.
Last time, it was just a little kid calling out. This time, all three of them shouted.
Although it was a good thing that a child could speak, she could not get excited at all.
This was really a huge and beautiful misunderstanding. She was not their mother!
Facing the three little fellows who could not be corrected, Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
“Okay, eat.” She handed them the candied hawthorn. “You can only eat one, or you won’t be able to sleep later. You can eat the rest tomorrow, understand?”
With that, she rubbed their heads and turned to go to the kitchen.
The three children grabbed the candied hawthorns and looked at her, their small figures looking a little lonely.
Su Xiaoxiao waited until the water in the kitchen boiled, but Su Ergou had yet to come out of the toilet.
“Ergou.”
“Aye!”
He didn’t fall into the latrine pit. That was fine.
Su Xiaoxiao carried a bucket of hot water back to her room. She had fought today and was dirty. She needed a hot bath.
She was about to take off her clothes when a short cough came from Wei Ting’s room.
She was shocked and couldn’t continue with the bath anymore. She immediately went next door.
Wei Ting choked on the water he was drinking. When he saw someone coming over, he hurriedly placed the cup back on the stool, turned around, and threw a cold back view at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at this awkward man, then at the half-spilled teacup on the stool, and sneered coldly.
“I advise you not to move around, especially when you get up or turn over. Otherwise, it will cause internal bleeding again. Even a Zenith Heaven Immortal can’t save you!”
Wei Ting ignored her.
Since he was fine, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t intend to stay any longer.
However, the moment she turned around, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks to ask him, “How old are your sons?”
Wei Ting still had his back to her. “Two and a half.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded to herself. It was just as she had guessed.
She said again, “Which of them is the eldest, the second, and the third?”
Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, “The one with one hair whirl is the eldest. The two with two is the second and the one with three with the third.”
Did Father Su really guess correctly?
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked.
“Then... what are they called?”
“Why are you asking about this?” Wei Ting sounded a little wary.
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “Forget it if you don’t want to say it! From now on, I’ll call them Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu !”
Wei Ting frowned and hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and coughed lightly. “Well, it’s fine for you to recuperate outside, but aren’t you worried that the children won’t go back after so long?”
“What?” Wei Ting did not understand what she meant.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Their mother!”
Wei Ting was silent.
After a while, he whispered, “She passed away.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know your wife...”
“She’s not my wife.”
“What?”
What the hell?
She gave birth to three sons for you, but in the end, you didn’t even give her a status?!
Scumbag!
Su Xiaoxiao left angrily!
“She is...” Wei Ting was halfway through when he sensed that something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Su Xiaoxiao had already gone out.
He frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Ergou’s house again.
The three of them placed themselves on the bed and fell asleep. They didn’t cover themselves with the blanket and held the candied fruits Su Xiaoxiao had given them without eating a single one.
They clearly wanted to eat them, so why didn’t they?
Was it because they were sad?
Had her words hurt their young hearts?
Su Xiaoxiao pulled the blanket over them.
“Sister!”
Su Xiaoxiao shuddered and turned around to glare at him. “You scared me! Keep your voice down! They’re asleep!”
“Oh!” Su Ergou scratched his head and walked into the house. He whispered, “Sister, why did you call me just now?”
“Sit down.” Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the stool beside her.
Su Ergou sat down obediently.
Su Xiaoxiao checked his injuries and went to Wei Ting’s room to get a bottle of ointment. She carefully applied it to Su Ergou’s wounds.
He had been punched in the face. His face was bruised and there was a scratch on his shoulder.
“Just tell me if it hurts,” she said.
Su Ergou smiled foolishly. “Hehe, it doesn’t hurt! Sister!”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao continued to apply medicine for him.
Su Ergou said thoughtfully, “I think... you’ve treated Dad and me better than before you broke your head.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “Is that so?”
Su Ergou nodded seriously. “Yes! You didn’t buy me clothes or apply medicine for me in the past... Dad is right. A woman is different when she has a husband! Sister, I will treat Brother-in-law well in the future!”
Why was Wei Ting involved again?
Not only did that guy freeload at home, but he also kept taking credit for her work!
“I’ll really lose out if I don’t sleep with him!”
“Sister, what did you say?” Su Ergou did not hear her clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said proudly, “With his pig face, I can easily enter post-coital dysphoria.”
Su Ergou: My sister is acting up again... I can’t understand a word she said.
... .
At night, Su Xiaoxiao took a hot bath and lay under the blanket.
She didn’t fall asleep that quickly. Some things started to go through her mind.
The first was the situation at home.
She had spent about five taels of silver last time. All that was left was the fifteen taels of silver that He Tongsheng owed.
It didn’t sound bad, but the entire family could eat so much... except for Wei Ting, that patient. Without any income, it wouldn’t be long before they would eat up all that they could afford.
“Looks like I have to think of a way to earn money.”
Forget about running away from poverty.
Another very important thing was Father Su’s hand injury. This kind of old injury was the most difficult to treat.
The base pharmacy was one of the largest in the military. There were many newly developed special medicine inside. Unfortunately, she had only packed some emergency medicine to treat Wei Ting last time.
If only she could go in again. Su Xiaoxiao hugged the first aid kit and closed her eyes.
