General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Chapter 11: Looking for Trouble

Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting’s room to check on him as usual. The low fever had subsided, but the hematoma in his liver had not. He was still a weak patient.

“Take your medicine yourself.”

Su Xiaoxiao filled a bowl with two anti-inflammatory pills and three capsules to remove the hematoma.

She knew he was awake.

“What medicine are you giving me?” He had never seen such a strange medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Oh, not only do you want to be our family’s son-in-law, but you also want to ask about my family’s ancestral secret?”

“Who wants to ask?” Wei Ting turned away coldly.

Father Su and Su Ergou didn’t know that Su Xiaoxiao had treated Wei Ting’s injuries. They thought that Wei Ting had relied on the bottle of medicine he carried with him.

Wei Ting thought that the father and son knew that Su Xiaoxiao was treating him.

Although he was puzzled as to why a countryside woman was proficient in the Qihuang technique, he was not close enough to chat with this family.

Hence, Su Xiaoxiao’s cover was not blown.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid even if she was exposed. With Father Su and Su Ergou’s blind love for her, it was not difficult to fool them.

On the other hand, Wei Ting was more troublesome.

When she found an opportunity, she would definitely cheat some secrets out of him.

... .

There was meat at home. For breakfast today, Su Xiaoxiao made a few catties of steamed dumplings, made a pot of vegetable pork ribs porridge, and roasted a few sweet potatoes.

The little beans seemed to like them when Su Ergou roasted some for them last night.

Since the entire family was up, Su Xiaoxiao planned to have breakfast with them when they returned.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no one.

Had they strolled out of the village?

“Forget it. I’ll pick up some firewood first.”

Su Xiaoxiao brought a bowl of vegetable pork ribs porridge to Wei Ting and brought the hemp rope to the forest at the back of the mountain.

Coincidentally, she bumped into her neighbor, Little Wu.

Little Wu was also here to pick up firewood, but she accidentally fell. Not only did the firewood scatter all over the ground, but her feet were also stuck.

It was a big tree that had been cut off in the forest. It was not easy for an adult man to move it, let alone a skinny Little Wu.

Little Wu was anxious and in pain. However, she was timid and did not dare to shout for help.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know how long she had been stuck, but she looked pitiful.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over. Seeing her, Little Wu trembled like a frightened rabbit.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything and just went to one end of the tree trunk. She used all her strength to lift it.

This was the power of being a Fatty! Had she been a 90-pound beauty, she would definitely not be able to carry this big tree!

Little Wu quickly moved her foot out.

Bang!

The tree slammed back to the ground.

“I’m exhausted!”

She had not eaten breakfast!

Su Xiaoxiao panted as she came to Little Wu and squatted down to check her right foot.

“It’s just a bruise. It’s nothing serious. Can you walk?”

Little Wu nodded timidly and bent down to pick up the firewood on the ground.

Seeing her limp, Su Xiaoxiao sighed and helped her tie the firewood and carry it on her shoulder.

“Keep up!”

Little Wu looked at the little bully who had snatched her firewood in a daze and did not dare to disobey her.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the firewood at her door and left.

On the other side, Su Ergou returned with the three children in high spirits!

“Sister! We’re back!”

Su Xiaoxiao had just reached home. “Eh? Why are there only the four of you? Where’s Dad?”

Su Ergou saw the firewood by her feet and frowned. “Sister, you went to pick up firewood? I can do this kind of work! Don’t go up the mountain!” 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

“I want to lose weight,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You haven’t told me where Dad went.”

Su Ergou said, “Oh, Dad was called to town.”

... .

At the medical hall.

“Brother Su, this way please.”

A young man brought Su Cheng to the tea room on the second floor. “Brother Dao is waiting for you inside.”

Su Cheng looked around and muttered, “Why are you drinking tea in such a place?”

The young man smiled but said nothing.

Su Cheng entered the house.

The house was dark, and a strong smell of liniment and golden sore medicine assaulted his nose.

He frowned involuntarily.

Zhang Dao sat in a mahogany chair. The dim light appropriately blocked the weakness and paleness on his face.

He smiled and said, “Brother Su is really a busy man. You haven’t visited me in so many years.”

Su Cheng laughed and strode over. Just as he was about to sit down on the chair beside Zhang Dao, a thug behind Zhang Dao pulled the chair back.

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Dao said sternly, “There are no rules! Hurry up and show Brother Su a seat!”

“Yes!” The thug pushed the chair back.

It was a show of strength. An old trick.

Su Cheng sat down calmly and asked Zhang Dao with a smile, “Brother, why are you looking for me today?”

Zhang Dao said with a faint smile, “Brother Su, you’re being distant. Can’t we catch up?”

“We’re here to catch up...”

Before Su Cheng could finish, Zhang Dao interrupted him. “Fifth Master sent someone to look for me a few days ago and asked if I was willing to follow him to the prefecture city.”

Fifth Master was a ruthless person; even the county magistrate did not dare to provoke him.

Su Cheng changed his cursing attitude and said with a smile, “You have Fifth Master’s care. Your future is limitless.”

“This person was sent by Fifth Master.” Zhang Dao pointed at the thug behind him.

“No wonder he doesn’t look ordinary.” Su Cheng smiled. “Brother, are you here to say goodbye to me? Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a few drinks at Spring Breeze Restaurant!”

Zhang Dao suddenly grinned. “There’s no need to drink. Brother Su, since you’re so sincere, why don’t you give me a small gift?”

Su Cheng said readily, “What do you want? As long as I have the ability, I’ll definitely get it for you!”

Zhang Dao smiled and said, “Yes, it’s at your house.”

Su Cheng frowned. “At my house?”

Zhang Dao smiled maliciously. “Your precious daughter, Su Daya.”

... .

Su Xiaoxiao cleaned up the dishes and left through the back door of the kitchen.

Behind the kitchen next door, Little Wu was squatting on the ground and plucking corn. This was made for the Niudan of the second branch. This morning, he suddenly said that he wanted to eat green peppers and stir-fried corn.

“Why are you always doing work?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly sounded, and Little Wu shivered again.

Sigh, how timid. It was no fun at all.

Even though Su Xiaoxiao had shown her kindness to Little Wu in the past two encounters, Little Wu was still very afraid of her.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a corn cob and patted it on her palm. “Madam Wu, do me a favor.”

Little Wu took a deep breath. It was finally here. Fatty Su was going to extort her...

... .

At the medical hall.

After Zhang Dao finished speaking, Su Cheng’s expression turned cold at a visible speed.
