Chapter 49 -49 Obediently Listen

Talking about this matter, Mrs. Lu was both annoyed and amused.

She even said on the phone to her husband, “That stinky boy has finally come to his senses, knowing to stick with his wife now.”

The eldest and the youngest, both couples, were love-matches, but only the second couple’s marriage was arranged by the family.

Originally, they consulted the Old Blind Man for the couple’s fortune-telling based on their birthdates. The old couple was somewhat worried, afraid that the young couple wouldn’t get along well.

“Now, are you relieved? Aren’t the second couple’s affections for each other so strong?”

Hearing her husband’s words, Mrs. Lu’s face relaxed, “Well aren’t they, I’m just waiting to hold my grandson now.”

Just thinking about a soft, chubby grandson, the old couple couldn’t help but laugh out loud together.

However, Father Lu still reminded his wife not to put too much pressure on their daughter-in-law by constantly mentioning grandchildren.

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes though the phone, “As if I don’t know that, I’m just nagging you a bit.”

“What’s that about? I can hear laughter from a distance.”

Susu pushed a big-truss bicycle to the doorstep.

Seeing her daughter-in-law return, Mrs. Lu teased with a smile, “Haha, Susu, you didn’t see it, today your husband saw his mother’s face, it kept changing.

He even asked me, ‘Mom, where’s my wife?’ with a look that seemed like he didn’t want his mother to come, it was hilarious.”

Susu felt a bit embarrassed listening to her mother-in-law, cursing to herself how ridiculous the man was.

“Haha, Aunt, this just shows how good Lu Gong’an and Xiao Su’s relationship is; you should get ready to hold your grandchild,” said Xiao Yu.

“Oh, they are really affectionate,”

Mrs. Lu seemed to already see her grandson waving his little hands at her, so overjoyed her mouth wouldn’t close.

“You know what’s strange? Why do they even try to control childbearing? They still don’t allow it now…”

Fearing the others would tease her, Susu quickly packed up a basket of marinated goods with Lu Xiaomei and hurriedly left.

Her own ladies’ bicycle was still in the county; this one belonged to Lu Xiaoting, which he used for commuting, with big wheels and quite tall.

Being short, she couldn’t mount it and had to squeeze through the middle, pedaling in small half-circles while standing.

It was a bit cumbersome and tiring, but it was still better than walking.

Now that there was enough help with the marinated goods business, Susu simply rode the bicycle through streets and alleys, pausing now and then to call out her wares.

“Marinated goods for sale, delicious marinated goods, don’t miss out as you pass by.”

“Can’t get a bad deal, can’t be cheated.”

…

“Hmm, not bad! Give me two pounds of each. I’m just about to head back to my mother’s house,” said an elegantly dressed sister in a polka dot white blouse and gray-blue trousers.

Susu efficiently packed and weighed the goods, handing the big wooden bowl to the sister, “Vegetable dishes are eighty cents, meat dishes are one fifty per pound. That’s four dollars and eighty cents in total, I’ll refund you twenty cents once the bowl is returned.”

“Alright, I’ll have my kid come over to return it later.”

Once someone made a purchase, others curiously came over to look and most of them bought something.

After collecting the wooden bowls back, Susu pedaled on.

“No, next time I go back to the county, I must bring the bicycle over. This is just too much effort.”

Watching the sun grow brighter in the clear blue sky, Susu found a spot in the shade to stop.

Fanning herself with her straw hat, she called out “Marinated goods for sale,” and when someone approached, she simply flipped the hat back onto her head.

By the end of the day, her vest was soaked through, then dried, then soaked again.

The first thing upon returning was to pull the curtain around her and wipe her body.

With limited conditions, and feeling uncomfortably sticky, she couldn’t care less about the man still lying in bed.

Lu Xiaoting heard the sound of splashing water, and his peripheral vision caught sight of a cloth curtain.

Feeling slightly awkward, he coughed to clear his throat, forcefully turning his gaze away.

“Whew~ That’s refreshing.”

Susu filled another basin with warm water and gestured to the man with a tilt of her chin.

“Take off your clothes, I’ll wipe you down.”

Looking at the man’s bulging chest muscles and well-defined arms, Susu compressed her lips, restraining herself from pouncing on him.

Lu Xiaoting caught all of his wife’s subtle movements, his lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with mirth.

Susu looked up and stumbled upon the man’s seemingly amused dark pupils, pausing for a moment before irritably tossing the towel in her hand at him.

“Sweetie.”

Lu Xiaoting removed the still-warm towel from his face and let out a soft chuckle.

Seeing his wife staring at him, Lu Xiaoting touched his cheek, thinking there must be something on his face.

Susu glared, but chose not to fuss too much with the man who was somewhat incapacitated.

The weather in July was so hot it felt like there was nowhere to hide.

Especially around noon, even the breeze was hot.

Worried about getting too tanned, Susu always wore long pants and sleeves, yet she could still feel herself darkening a few shades every day.

Every day, going out early and returning late, she was so tired she just wanted to fall into bed and sleep.

Smelling the sweat on her own body, Susu struggled to get up, took a quick wash, and then flopped back onto the bed.

Lu Xiaoting looked at his own slender and fair legs, turned on his side, and adjusted his injured leg. Mainly because his wife was incredibly restless in her sleep.

The next second, a slender arm was draped over him.

Lu Xiaoting gently shifted and, by the moonlight, turned to look at the little figure beside him.

“Sweetie, you’ve worked hard.”

His lips softly kissed down, pulling the blanket that his wife had kicked off, covering her stomach properly.

The next morning

Susu woke up in a daze, only to see her hand hugging the man tightly.

Her face burning with embarrassment, Susu carefully climbed out of bed and turned around to meet the man’s bleary eyes.

Susu: “…”

“Sleep a bit longer.”

Susu tiptoed with the basin to the washroom, and upon returning, she saw the man staring at her.

“Did I wake you? Do you want to sleep a bit longer?”

Lu Xiaoting shook his head, his voice somewhat hoarse, “No need, I’m not sleepy anymore.”

After watching the little woman swiftly tidy things up, Lu Xiaoting cleared his throat.

“Come back early tonight.”

Susu raised an eyebrow and waved to the man.

“Stay at home and behave, don’t go wandering off.”

…

Mrs. Lu saw her daughter-in-law talking to Xiao Yu for quite some time, the little guy nodding seriously with a tough little face.

“Go ahead, Xiao Yu.”

“Auntie, bye-bye.”

Susu watched the pair leave, her smile beaming as she placed her hands on her hips and proudly jutted out her chin.

Lu Xiaomei found it somewhat amusing; her sister-in-law sometimes acted like a child.

“Second sister-in-law, what did you say to Xiao Yu? His little face is so tense, someone who doesn’t know better might think there’s a serious matter.”

Susu remembered the man’s reproachful dark eyes and laughed, “I told Xiao Yu to keep an eye on your second brother, to stop him from getting into mischief at home.”

Lu Xiaomei gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up.

“Uncle.”

“Xiao Yu is back.”

Lu Xiaoting called the little guy over.

“Uncle, you need to heal properly. Auntie is working hard to earn money outside.”

Xiao Yu echoed like a little adult, his voice earnest and childlike.

“Be obedient and don’t make Auntie worry!”
