53 Splitting Up

“Are you worried about Sister Meizi?” Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little ones.

The three little ones nodded honestly.

The eight-year-old Big Meizi was like a sensible parent who would take care of the three little ones with Little Wu.

After all, this was the Liu family’s matter. Unless Liu Ping’s family became stubborn, Su Xiaoxiao could help them once or twice, but she could not help them forever.

“You are both useless! You can’t earn much money, but you’re still adding expenses to the family! I don’t think you should cook dinner! Just eat all the wind!”

Every word of Big Wu pierced Little Wu’s heart like a needle.

That’s right. She couldn’t give birth to a son, so she deserved to be unable to raise her head. She deserved to be someone’s slave. She deserved to implicate her two daughters and be beaten and scolded!

She really wanted to go back to her family, but even her family advised her not to cause too much trouble. She just had to endure it.

But in recent days, she couldn’t take it anymore…

Little Wu’s sudden suppression and silence caused a strange feeling to surge in her heart.

“Are you mute!” Big Wu shouted.

“Mother.” Little Wu hugged her two trembling daughters and whispered, “If you really don’t like us, we’ll split up.”

Big Wu’s expression changed. She pointed at her nose and said, “You little hussy, what did you say?”

Little Wu mustered her courage and looked at her mother-in-law with tears in her eyes. “I said that we’ll split up.”

Big Wu cursed, “Your father and I are still here, yet you dare to mention splitting up. Are you trying to curse us to death? You heartless thing!”

It was a rule in the countryside that families would not be split up if the parents were still around.

Moreover, if they really split up, they would not be able to get their hands on Liu Ping’s salary and no one would do the work at home!

Big Wu grabbed the rolling pin and hit Little Wu fiercely!

“Mother!” Big Meizi exclaimed.

Suddenly, a fat hand grabbed Big Wu’s rolling pin.

Big Wu turned around. “Fatty Su?”

She gritted her teeth and moved her arm.

Su Xiaoxiao easily grabbed her rolling pin. “Why? Do you want to attack me?”

Of course, Big Wu did not dare to attack Fat Lass Su!

Su Xiaoxiao coldly snatched the rolling pin from her hand with a vicious and impatient expression.

Facing the fierce Fatty Su, Big Wu did not even dare to fart! This was what it meant to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door with her rolling pin and said indifferently to Little Wu, “Hey, Wu, I asked you to wash clothes, but you ran away halfway?”

Little Wu lowered her head and said nothing.

“If she doesn’t want to wash up, you will do it!” Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Big Wu fiercely.

Big Wu would not go! What was wrong with Fatty Su? She hadn’t done anything evil for a while. Why had she returned to her former self?

Big Wu turned around and grabbed a cloth to wipe the stove.

Little Wu went to the Su family from the back door of the kitchen gloomily. The two children followed.

Big Wu wanted to leave the two little ones behind, but Fatty Su glared at her coldly and she stopped talking.

With her man at home, she might be able to deal with the situation. When she was on her own, she didn’t dare to be unreasonable with Fatty Su.

Su Xiaoxiao left.

When Big Wu looked over furtively, Su Xiaoxiao casually threw the rolling pin back and it hit the Big Wu’s head.

“Ouch-”

A huge bump immediately appeared on Big Wu’s forehead!

At the Su family, the Meizi sisters sat on the small bench in the kitchen. The two of them had stopped crying.

The three little ones generously took out their snacks to entertain the two of them. Big Meizi did not eat it, and Little Meizi was especially satisfied as she nestled in her sister’s arms and ate.

Little Wu sat behind the stove and helped to add wood to the stove.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to cut the sweet potatoes.

“Have you really decided to split?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three little ones and Little Meizi buried their heads in the snacks while Big Meizi glanced at her mother.

Little Wu nodded calmly. “Yes, I’ve decided.”

In the past, she would not dare to leave the Liu family. Not only would she and Liu Ping be criticized by the villagers, but they would also face a situation where they had nowhere to go.

Little Wu asked, “After we split up, will you still want me to work at your house?”

Su Xiaoxiao said without thinking, “Yes.”

Such an outstanding employee was equivalent to three. Why not?

Little Wu seemed to understand where her confidence in splitting up came from. If not for Su Daya, she might not dare to mention splitting up with the Liu family for the rest of her life.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If Liu Ping doesn’t mind, you can come to my place to try for two days.”

Little Wu’s eyes lit up. “You mean… you want to hire Liu Ping to do work?”

“It depends on whether he can do it or not.” Su Xiaoxiao did not make it clear.

Little Wu hurriedly said, “Yes, yes! He can endure hardships!”

If both of them could work, it would not be a problem to support the two children!

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She thought of something and asked, “Have you mentioned the separation to Liu Ping?”

Little Wu said, “I did. He didn’t object.”

It was obvious how difficult it was for a stepson to survive under his stepmother.

In Su Xiaoxiao’s memory, Liu Ping was an honest person. He was hardworking and could endure hardships, but he was a little stubborn.

However, he had never complained that Little Wu could not give birth to a son. He doted on his two daughters very much, and the couple had a good relationship.

“It’s…” Little Wu hesitated.

“What is it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Little Wu bit her lip and said in a low voice, “If we really split from the Liu family, it will be unpleasant. If we work at your house, we might implicate you…”

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged her round shoulders. “Oh, you’re talking about reputation? Does our Su family have that?”

Little Wu was speechless.

—

Little Wu stayed at Little Su’s house until her father-in-law and husband returned. Although her father-in-law was also biased towards the second wife, Big Wu more or less restrained herself and would not beat her and the children to death with him and Liu Ping around.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hide Little Wu’s matter from her family. After all, she might hire the two of them to work openly in the future. She had to inform her family.

After hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s words, Father Su probably thought of his past with his wife and the Chen family. After a long silence, he sighed. “It’s good to split up.”

… .

As he was still upset about the formula, Su Ergou was not in a good mood. He ate less than usual for dinner.

Seeing how pitiful he was, the three children sighed and climbed into his bed with pillows. They decided to sacrifice themselves to sleep with him tonight and coax Uncle Ergou.

The family rested one after another, but Su Xiaoxiao didn’t sleep.

She went to the kitchen and cleaned up the dishes before preparing the ingredients for tomorrow.

Then, she took out the dough that she had distributed in the afternoon. As it had been placed near the stove, the temperature was higher than outside. It had already fermented.

In addition, the hind leg meat in the pot was ready. She scooped it out and placed it on the chopping board. She pulled out the rolling pin from the cupboard.

When Wei Ting walked into the kitchen with his walking stick, he saw a little fat girl working seriously.
