Chapter 10: Call Me Mother
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “It’s just a piece of clothing. There’s no need to...”
Su Cheng felt a lump in his throat. “This is the first time you made clothes for me...”
“I bought it...”
“Same thing.”
But Su Xiaoxiao felt it was very different. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
She looked at Father Su, not knowing what to do.
The tyrant of Xinghua Village actually had such a reaction when he received the cotton-padded clothes from his daughter. She couldn’t accept it!
Old Su Cheng was relieved, and tears flickered in his eyes. “You’re different after getting married. My daughter has grown up. Don’t worry, I’ll treat my son-in-law well.”
No, what did this have to do with Wei Ting?
She was the one who bought the clothes!
That guy didn’t even move a finger!
Why was he being nice to him? He should be beating him up!
“Daya, it’s getting late. Go rest,” Su Cheng said to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Oh,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Then you should sleep early too.”
Su Cheng nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao turned and walked out.
The moment the door closed, a cry came from inside!
-It was Father Su holding the cotton clothes his daughter gave him in the house... The boor was crying!
Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby body trembled!
Did the villagers know that the tyrant was capable of tears?
Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard to look for Su Ergou.
Su Ergou took a cold shower in the backyard. This was what Su Cheng taught him. He said that taking a cold shower in winter could improve one’s physique.
Su Ergou had not taken a hot bath since he was eight years old. His body was indeed good! Su Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that Su Cheng was just too lazy to boil water for Su Ergou.
“Ergou.”
“Sister?”
Su Ergou had just poured a basin of cold water on his head when he realized that Su Xiaoxiao had come over.
The wind was cold and he was only wearing a pair of wet pants.
Su Xiaoxiao felt cold.
“I bought you a cotton shirt. I’ll bring it to your room later. Try it after you take a shower. If it doesn’t fit, tell me. I’ll change it in town.”
“Alright!”
Su Ergou agreed readily and continued to take a shower.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still staring at him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, is there anything else?”
Su Xiaoxiao sized him up cautiously. “Are you going to cry?”
“Huh?” Su Ergou was stunned and shook his head. “No, why should I cry?”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Then it’s fine. Hurry up and wash. Don’t catch a cold.”
It seemed that Su Ergou was the only one in the family who was not prone to crying. It was good to be simple-minded.
Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Ergou’s house.
The three children were sitting cross-legged on the bed playing with wooden blocks.
It was something the Host and Su Ergou had played when they were young. Today, Su Cheng spent a lot of effort digging it out of the box.
The children did not cry or make a fuss. They could play by themselves without anyone watching. It was much easier to take care of them than Niudan next door.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over with the clothes.
The three little ones looked up at her with cute eyes, a little shy.
Su Xiaoxiao’s heart was about to overflow.
Although they had an unreliable father, the three children were really cute!
They were cuter than the dolls she had bought in her previous life!
Su Xiaoxiao placed a stack of brand new clothes at the head of the bed and gave the three of them three sets.
She had dressed them in the morning and roughly knew their sizes. The cotton clothes she bought all fit them well.
“Stand up and let me see,” she said.
The three of them stood up obediently and jumped around the bed.
The pants were just the right size. They wouldn’t fall off and were not so long that they would trip on them.
“Alright, that’s all for today. It’s time to sleep.”
Su Xiaoxiao put away the toys on the bed and spread the blanket. She undressed the three of them and stuffed them into the blanket.
She did not know if the three children were afraid of the dark. She had been afraid when she was young.
She left an oil lamp on the table and checked their blankets.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone among the three of them suddenly called her mother.
Su Xiaoxiao staggered and almost fell!
“Who called?”
She looked at the three little ones under the blanket in shock.
The three of them looked at her innocently.
She corrected him sternly. “You can’t just call anyone that, understand? I’m not your mother.”
The three little ones continued to look at her.
She sighed. Forget it. They were still young. She heard that children say anything that came to their minds when they first learned to speak.
In her previous life, many children would call unfamiliar women mothers.
They should be the same.
Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting’s room last.
She was not so polite to Wei Ting and threw the clothes at him.
Wei Ting was about to fall asleep when he woke up again.
“You...”
“Hmph!”
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head proudly and left without looking back.
... .
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke up early as usual.
She peeled the dressing off the back of her hand.
This dressing was close to the texture of her skin. It could not be seen if one did not look closely. Therefore, no one at home noticed that she was injured.
“The new medicine in the research building is indeed useful. It healed such a deep wound in one night.”
“From the looks of it, it will recover in two days without any scars.”
This was a pleasant surprise.
She changed her dressing and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
To her surprise, other than Wei Ting, everyone else got up and changed into the new cotton clothes that Su Xiaoxiao had bought.
It was not strange for children to wake up early, but didn’t Father Su and Su Ergou not open their eyes until late in the morning?
She had spent a lot of effort scooping up Su Ergou yesterday!
“The weather is good today. Let’s go out for a walk!”
Su Cheng said.
“Father is right!”
Su Ergou said.
The three little ones nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You haven’t had breakfast.”
“We’ll eat when I get back!”
With that, Su Cheng left with Su Ergou and the three children.
The first villager they met was Auntie Zhou, who went to dig for radishes.
Auntie Zhou grabbed the basket tightly and shouted, “I don’t have any money!”
Su Cheng walked forward arrogantly and patted his sleeve. “New clothes.”
Auntie Zhou was confused.
Su Cheng said, “My daughter bought it.”
Su Ergou said, “My sister bought it.”
The three little ones, ” Mom bought it.”
Auntie Zhou could not respond to any of them.
... .
In a medical center in town, the physician treated Zhang Dao’s last injury.
Su Xiaoxiao had done a lot of damage. Three of his ribs were broken!
If not for his body that practiced martial arts all year round, he would probably be a cripple now!
“Big Brother!”
The other two lackeys also fainted and limped.
A fierce glint flashed across Zhang Dao’s eyes. “Su Cheng, you raised a good daughter! Just wait! I won’t let you off!”
