Chapter 101 - 101: I’ll Take It Off for You to See
Su Li stood up and began to untie her clothes.
A dark green undergarment and her fair neck entered He Yufeng’s sight.
He Yufeng quickly turned his head to the side. “What are you doing?” His tone was quite angry.
Su Li chuckled. “Didn’t you want to see it? Now that I’m taking it off for you to see and you’re angry again. What a strange person!”
With that, Su Li put on the clothes she had just unbuttoned.
The people who lived in the past were too shy. In her previous life, there were many people wearing bikinis on the beach. If she threw He Yufeng onto the beach now, wouldn’t he go crazy?
He Yufeng was speechless. He seriously suspected that this woman did it on purpose.
Su Li stopped teasing him. She picked up a towel and wiped his face before getting down to business.
“I’ll bring the children back to my maiden home in two days,” Su Li said.
He Yufeng nodded. “Alright, take out the box under the bed. There are three taels of silver inside. Take it to buy something.”
After Su Li married over, she had basically never returned to her maiden home. It was only right for her to go back and take a look.
Su Li was a little surprised by He Yufeng’s words. In the past, He Yufeng had never allowed Su Li to touch money. The things in her hands were obtained through the coercion and bribery of children. He Yufeng had never taken the initiative to give them to her, not to mention taking the initiative to give them to her like today.
Su Li nodded and said, “Alright, since it’s your sincerity, I’ll take it.”
She did not mind having more money. If the money stayed with He Yufeng, it might be taken away by the people in the old residence in two days. She did not plan to give the people in the old residence any more money.
At the thought of this, Su Li said to He Yufeng, “How do you plan to deal with the old residence?”
The people at the old residence looked really suffocating. From time to time, they would jump out as if they were flies. It was disgusting.
He Yufeng was not in a hurry to answer her. Instead, he asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”
He could feel the change in the woman in front of him. She was smart and no longer the silly person she used to be.
Su Li tidied her nails and said, “I have an idea. I wonder if you’re willing to cooperate?”
If not for He Yufeng, the protagonist, this matter would not be successful.
He Yufeng said, “Tell me about it first.”
Su Li whispered into his ear. After saying that, she specially asked, “How is it? Is my method feasible?”
He Yufeng felt a warmth blowing by his ear and his heart itched. He nodded absent-mindedly and said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
The next day.
When Chen Xiang and Zhou Yu came over to work, Su Li gave them their salary from a few days ago.
The two of them had worked for seven days, and each of them was paid 560 copper coins.
“This is for me?” Chen Xiang looked at the money in front of her in disbelief. Su Li smiled and said, “Sister, work hard. The good days are still ahead!”
Zhou Yu looked at the money in front of her with an excited expression. She did not expect to be paid so soon. Her son was only paid once a month in town. She had only worked for a few days before she was paid.
Seeing that they did not take it, Su Li stuffed the money into their hands. “Take it all!”
The reason why she gave out her salary so quickly was to prove to Chen Xiang and Zhou Yu that there was nothing wrong with following her, Su Li. She was not spouting nonsense. She had the ability to lead them to a better life.
After receiving their salary, Chen Xiang and Zhou Yu’s faces were filled with smiles. Even their strength seemed to have increased.
What they had done today was to boil the lard. One stove was not enough at all, so Su Li set up another stove in the courtyard.
Su Li did not do anything for the past few days but after that, the three of them worked together for a few days before the fragrant soap was finally done.
Su Li also paid Chen Xiang and Zhou Yu the wages for the few days of work.
Zhou Yu was very happy with Su Li’s enthusiasm in paying htme, but she still had to say politely, “Su Li, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to give us the salary. You can give it to us after you sell the things.”
Chen Xiang nodded in agreement. “That’s right. It won’t be too late to give us our pay after you’ve sold them.”
Su Li smiled and said, “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a day or two. I have to return to my parents’ house for a few days after I sell my things.”
When she went to town, she planned to return to the Su family by herself. She would not return to the He family village for the next few days.
When Zhou Yu heard that Su Li was going back to her maiden home, she was shocked and asked, “Back to your maiden home? Are you planning to stay there for a few days?”
He Yufeng was still lying on the bed and Su Li was going back to her maiden home to stay for a while. It was really unreasonable that there was nothing fishy going on.
Su Li tidied her hair and pretended to be in a difficult position. “I don’t know yet. Aunt, you also know that I haven’t been back for the past few years. My parents are already old. I want to go back and be filial.” The corners of Zhou Yu’s mouth twitched. “Of course, of course!”
She asked again, “Then when can we continue this job?”
This was what Zhou Yu was most concerned about. If Su Li was not at home, could she continue working?
Su Li said, “Let’s talk about it when I come back! I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
“Okay!”
After dinner, Su Li taught the two children how to read.
“11n the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart….”
Immediately after, two childish reading voices sounded, making one feel relaxed and happy.
He Yufeng lay on the bed and heard the sound of reading outside. He felt that the gloominess of the past few days had been swept away.
Su Li taught him a few times, and He Qingyao basically remembered everything.
He Qingmu remembered it too, but whenever he turned around, he forgot about it.
Su Li held her forehead helplessly. They were all from the same womb. Why was the difference so big? One was a good student, and the other was a terrible one.
Riceball was sleeping at the side. From time to time, he would open his eyes and look at them.
“Qingyao, I’ll leave your younger brother to you. Teach him slowly. I’ll go out for a walk.” Su Li really did not want to be tortured by He Qingmu, this bad student, so she asked He Qingyao to take on this heavy responsibility.
He Qingyao nodded vigorously. “Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely make sure he learns it.”
Su Li woke Riceball up. “Riceball, don’t sleep anymore. Come out for a walk with me. Look at how chubby you are. If this continues, how are you going to be a majestic and vicious dog?”
Riceball tilted its head and looked at Su Li before standing up.
The woman and the dog walked out of the courtyard.
When the villagers saw Su Li, they still pointed at her as usual, especially Riceball, who had become the focus of public opinion.
There were really too few people who raised dogs. After all, dogs had to eat food. If they had that food, they might as well leave it to feed the chickens and ducks.
When Su Li heard the discussion, she didn’t care. She circled the village a few times and Riceball ran happily. One moment, it ran in front of Su Li, and the next moment, it crawled into the grass to eat grass.
“Woof woof-” Riceball, who was playing happily in the grass, suddenly barked. Its bark was a little different from before..
