52 Token

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t a sentimental person, but perhaps because of her special physique, her eyes suddenly felt hot.

She hugged the three little ones and said gently, “I won’t go hungry. I have money.”

The three of them did not believe her. So Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take out the money she had earned from selling the formula and the consultation fee she had earned from Young Master Xiang. “Alright, I’ll drop the consultation fee in front of the three of you.”

The three of them counted the silver ingots seriously.

After confirming that their mother had a lot of money and was not short of money to spend, they reluctantly nodded in satisfaction.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them and said in amusement, “Keep the money well. I’ll come and ask you for it one day when I don’t have money to spend.”

The three of them thought about it and felt that it was feasible. They temporarily took back the money. However, the ugly black plaque was forgotten by Dahu with a look of disdain.

The three of them returned to Su Ergou’s house and chased Uncle Ergou out to hide the small bag!

….

In the afternoon, snow began to fall again.

Wei Ting and Su Cheng returned from the ground. The three little ones were sleeping. It was unknown if it was an afternoon nap or a late nap.

The two of them entered the house covered in snow.

As his body gradually recovered, Wei Ting’s complexion became much better, making him look even more imposing and handsome.

Su Cheng was actually not bad-looking. If not for his fierce reputation, who knew how many people would want to be stepmother to her and Ergou?

“Father, didn’t I tell you not to bring him along? He fell on his leg. He has to use less strength.”

He had fallen when he caught Wang Laizi last time. His knee was broken and his calf injury almost relapsed.

Father Su’s eyes flashed as he touched his high nose bridge. “My son-in-law wanted to go himself! Ask if you don’t believe me!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned to Wei Ting. “Wei Ting.”

“Aiya! I’m so hungry! Is there food in the kitchen!” Father Su slipped away decisively.

Only Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were left in the central room.

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly… became strange.

Wei Ting’s aura was proportional to his recovery, and his powerful presence was becoming harder and harder to ignore.

His back was against the light, and his well-defined eyebrows were slightly hidden in the darkness. His calm and sharp eyes were like sharp blades waiting to be unsheathed, filled with cold sharpness.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him. “What?”

He used Su Cheng’s new walking stick to point behind Su Xiaoxiao. “You are blocking me from entering the room.”

“Oh.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and entered his room.

Wei Ting was speechless.

Wei Ting thought that she was there to change his dressing and did not say anything. He followed her into the house.

Just as he sat down, Su Xiaoxiao took out a token and handed it to him. “Is it yours?”

The moment he saw the token, Wei Ting’s expression changed. “Where did you find it!”

Su Xiaoxiao took the token back and patted it on her palm. “Tell me what this is first.”

Wei Ting looked at her deeply and suddenly relaxed.

This was one of the most important tokens he had. He had thought it was in the hands of that group, but who would have thought it was in her hands?

“Did the three of them give it to you?”

He clearly remembered that those people had snatched his bag away. If the token was still there, there was only one possibility. The three brats had hidden it.

“No, I… picked it up myself!”

“Heh!”

He was sure it was given by the brat! The little brat took his token and didn’t give it to him. Instead, he gave it to a girl he just knew. This was too much!

Wei Ting said calmly, “I picked it up myself. If you have the ability, get one yourself.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head proudly. “Don’t bully me because I can’t read. I’ve learned a lot of words recently!”

Wei Ting’s lips curled up. “Oh, you mean the names on the list? Those were only a few words.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened.

These days, she had learned a lot of words under the pretext of getting Wei Ting to read the list, but he actually said… only a few words?

Who was he looking down on?

As if seeing her anger, Wei Ting smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows at the token in her hand. “Admit it.”

To hell with admitting!

If she knew, would she have asked him?!

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. At most, I’ll ask Shen Chuan tomorrow morning!”

With that, she kept the token and turned to leave!

Wei Ting had heard about Shen Chuan from Su Ergou. He was the son of the dean of a small academy and was still wet behind the ears.

Wei Ting said casually, “If you don’t want to die, go ahead and ask.”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and looked at him suspiciously. “Don’t scare me.”

Wei Ting smiled coldly. “If you dare to hedge it on the lives of your entire family, I won’t stop you.”

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists. “I’ll figure it out one day! Before that, I’ll keep this thing!”

“Up to you.” Wei Ting leaned against the head of the bed nonchalantly, moved his injured leg up, and began to rest.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to beat him up.

Forget it. No matter what, at least she had something to use against him. The more he acted like he didn’t care, the more it proved that this thing was important to him.

After Su Xiaoxiao left, Wei Ting slowly opened his eyes, which were cold.

He had to find a chance to get the token back!

—

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to eat a corn cob and start cooking dinner for the family.

Ever since Wei Ting said that she had lost weight (a little), her confidence in losing weight had increased. She had not touched sugared water for many days and used coarse grains as her main food.

Tonight, she planned to steam a pot of sweet potato brown rice.

Halfway through cutting the sweet potato, the three children ran in hurriedly and threw themselves into her arms, looking frightened.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

Before the three of them could speak, Big Wu shouted from next door, “Eat! You only know how to eat!”

“Woo-”

It was Little Meizi crying.

Big Wu was hitting the children of the eldest branch again.

“Grandma! Don’t hit my sister!”

Big Meizi was trying to stop the fight. Unfortunately, not only did she fail to stop Big Wu, but she also received a beating.

“Eat sugar, Grandma Wu. Fight!” Dahu gestured.

The cause of the incident was that Little Meizi had eaten a piece of Niudan’s sugar. When Big Wu found out, she hit her.

However, this was actually just what the child saw. The real reason was that Liu Ping had returned from town for the new year and did not bring back much money. Big Wu was dissatisfied and took the opportunity to vent her anger on the three-year-old Little Meizi.

At this moment, the men at home had gone out. Little Wu was packing clothes in the front yard. When she heard her two daughters crying, she hurriedly put down what she was doing and went to the kitchen.

This time, Little Wu did not swallow her anger like before. Instead, she argued with her mother-in-law.

“Mother! Little Meizi only ate half a piece of sugar. Do you have to be so harsh?”

“Aiyo, your man is back and someone is backing you up so you dare to talk back to your mother-in-law! Do you know how expensive sugar is? You even dare to steal it!”

“She didn’t eat it secretly! Niudan had thrown it on the ground!”

“Did you talk back?”

Big Wu slapped Meizi.
