Susu bounced excitedly out of bed, her big eyes sparkling.
“Our mom is so powerful!”
“And what about your colleagues, what was their reaction?”
Seeing his wife with eyes full of curiosity, Lu Xiaoting was momentarily stunned.
“Hey, please continue.”
Anxious, Susu grabbed the man’s arm and shook it.
Lu Xiaoting raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile playing on his lips, “Then… everyone felt quite embarrassed, kept apologizing, and even said they would go home and remind their own wives.”
Susu then realized she had been coquettishly talking with the man—the very thought made her entire face instantly turn bright red.
Oh my, why am I acting coquettishly with someone?
Dear heavens, I’m so embarrassed!!!
Lu Xiaoting watched as his wife buried her face into the pillow, her ears so red they might bleed.
He came over, pulled her up, and said sternly, “Sweetheart, don’t suffocate yourself.”
Feeling the humor in the man’s magnetic voice, Susu blushed even deeper and glowered at him irritatedly.
“Stop it.”
“Hahaha.”
Her little antics amused Lu Xiaoting so much that he laughed out loud.
“Hmph! Keep laughing, and I won’t be polite anymore.”
Lu Xiaoting raised an eyebrow, “Oh? What would ‘not being polite’ look like?”
…
After the “abandonment” controversy had passed, the people at the Family Court treated Susu quite differently.
From initially ignoring her and gossiping behind her back, they now greeted her with smiling faces.
Susu, initially feeling odd and uncomfortable, had now gotten used to it.
“Xiao Su, have you eaten?”
“Not yet, I just woke up and am not hungry.”
“Little Lu’s wife, I see you punctually every day.”
“Yes, indeed.”
…
“Mom, what’s wrong? What happened at home?” Susu was a bit anxious.
“There’s nothing wrong at home, it’s about your uncle Cheng He. His factory’s performance has been worsening, they can’t pay salaries on time, and he still needs to support his wife and kids.
So, he came over to ask if he could also start selling goods whenever he has time, just like Aunt Wang’s youngest son.”
Mrs. Lu sighed, “I hurriedly called you to discuss what we should do.”
“Sure, why not.”
Susu added, “I was planning to visit home anyway, I’ll talk to Cheng He when I get there.”
“Can you leave Provincial City though? Don’t you need to prepare the marinade?”
“No issue, I’ll prepare it in advance, I’ve turned a lot of it into smaller bits, you can’t really tell anymore.”
“Okay, okay, so when are you coming back? Mom will buy some groceries and cook something nice.”

Struggling between laughs and tears, Susu replied, “I’ll catch the last bus back this afternoon.”
…
“Is this your second daughter-in-law coming home?”
The store owner joked, “Your daughter-in-law is almost like your own daughter; having her as a daughter-in-law must be quite something.”
Mrs. Lu, beaming, waved her hands, “It’s mainly because there are few children as filial as my Susu.”
“I won’t keep you any longer; I’ll get going.”
The store owner smacked her lips, “Look at her, what a life! So good!!”
Mrs. Lu was so excited she couldn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue, and if it weren’t for the meat spoiling, she would have faced the scorching sun to go shopping.
Provincial City
“Sister Hong, Xiao Sun, I’m heading back to the county tonight, are you guys coming too?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Sister Hong scratched her head shyly, “Not gonna lie, it’s my first time being away from home for so long. I’ve been missing my kids.”
Xiao Sun nodded, “I’m also going back to visit my grandparents and to buy some stuff to bring back.”
“Otherwise, with my grandparents’ character, they would definitely not be willing to spend money or eat anything; I guess it would be just cornbread and pickles.”
In the afternoon when it was not busy, Susu took the time to calculate both of their salaries.
She made a special trip to the supply and marketing cooperative, planning to bring some things back when she returned in the afternoon.
Police Station
“Who are you looking for?”
Susu was stopped at the door and immediately said she was looking for Lu Xiaoting from the police.
“And what is your relationship with Lu Gong’an? What do you want from him?”
“I’m… I’m his wife, I need to see him for something.”
“Oh my, look at my memory; I didn’t even recognize my own sister-in-law.”
The man slapped his head, “Sister-in-law, wait here, I will go call him for you.”
“Brother Lu, your wife… no, your sister-in-law is here to see you.”
The people in the office exchanged glances and looked sympathetic.
Lu Xiaoting ignored the group and hurried out.
“Could Little Lu’s wife be here to make a scene?”
“I doubt it, the little sister-in-law seems quite changed.”
…
“Wife, what’s up?”
Seeing the man’s anxious expression, Susu smiled, “I’m going home tonight. Cheng He wants to sell some marinated goods and also check on the house.
I’ll catch the last bus in the afternoon, just came to tell you first.”
Lu Xiaoting looked at his wife, hesitated, but eventually nodded.
In a serious tone, he said, “I understand, do you want me to take you there?”
“No need, no need.”
Susu laughed, “Sister Hong and Xiao Sun will be going back with me; you just focus on your work.”
Everyone came out and saw Lu Xiaoting still looking outside, and teased him.
“People are long gone; why are you still looking?”
“Stop watching, wait for her to come back tonight and you can stare all you want.”
“Young couples are always clingy. Not like us old couples, being able to stand each other is already good.”
“Cough, better get back to work.”
Lu Xiaoting, slightly embarrassed by the teasing, quickly changed the topic.
Meanwhile, the three of them had packed their things for the family and caught the last bus.
“Susu, Xiao Sun, have some candies to sweeten your mouths.”
Sister Hong smiled and handed a few candies to both of them, not keeping any for herself but carefully storing the candies away.
“Thank you, Sister Hong.”
Susu shared some milk candies she bought with them, “You two try these.”
“Oh no, I don’t want them; those milk candies are too expensive, save them for the children.”
Wang Hong refused, not accepting whatever was said.
“Oh, my Sister Hong, just accept it. If you don’t, it’d make me feel bad too; we are both basking in Sister Su’s generosity.”
Both were amused by Xiao Sun’s winking and making faces.
Wang Hong, feeling somewhat embarrassed, finally accepted and secretly vowed to herself to work hard.
The three had arrived late and didn’t get seats, so they could only stand in the aisle. However, chatting and joking made the time pass quickly.
After getting off the bus, the three split up, each going to their own homes.
Susu didn’t go straight home, but directly to the new house.
“Mom, Xiao Yu and I are back.”
“Oh, Susu is back.”
Everyone in the courtyard was visibly happy.
Mrs. Lu quickly wiped her hands of water, her face creasing into a smile with crow’s feet.
“Back already? Are you tired? Are you thirsty?”
Before Susu could even respond, Xiao Yu charged over like a little cannonball.
“Aunt—”
