Chapter 36

“Three!” Su Li smiled and threw the hatchet in her hand at He Fengshou.

“Ah!!” He Fengshou was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his eyes. His legs could not help but tremble. If he had not gone to the toilet before leaving, he would probably have peed.

Duang—

The hatchet flew past He Fengshou’s shoulder and landed behind He Fengshou.

“Murder, murder!” Madam Qian screamed.

He Fengshou did not feel the pain that he had expected. He opened his eyes a little and looked around timidly, as if he was scared out of his wits.

Madam Qian was still screaming and cursing.

Su Li said impatiently, “Shut up. If you continue to make noise, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

“How dare you!” Madam Qian’s eyes widened.

Su Li crossed her arms and said, “Try it if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I have nothing. I’m not like you guys who live a good life.”

Madam Qian wanted to say something, but she was stopped by He Fengzhong.

Third Sister-in-law seemed to be possessed. She did not even blink when she threw the hatchet just now.

It was impossible to be unreasonable with such a person. It would not be worth it if he was slashed.

“Third Sister-in-law, I think you’re crazy. Let’s wait for Third Brother to come back and see how he deals with you.” He Fengshou had no choice but to pull He Yufeng out.

Su Li said nonchalantly, “Oh, is that so? Then I’ll wait!”

He Fengshou felt suffocated when he saw her like this. Although Third Brother didn’t like this daughter-in-law, he treated those two children as treasures. As long as the children were around, Third Brother wouldn’t do anything to Su Li!

“Are you guys leaving or not? If not, I won’t be polite!”

She had other things to do, but she did not have the time to waste with them.

“Just you wait…”

He Fengzhong pulled Madam Qian and left. His footsteps were flustered and he looked like he was fleeing.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu ran out of the room.

“Mother, are you alright?”

Su Li said, “It’s fine. They can’t do anything to me.”

After sending the debt collectors away, Su Li began to make dinner.

Tonight, they would eat steamed meat with flour. Su Li cut the potatoes she had dug up on the mountain last time into pieces and placed them under the plate.

“Mother, did you buy meat again today?” He Qingmu ran to Su Li and swallowed his saliva as he looked at the meat on the plate.

Su Li nodded. “Yes, let’s have an extra dish tonight. I want to raise you guys until you’re fair and fat.”

These two little fellows were really too skinny. They were basically no different from bean sprouts, and there was no meat on their faces.

In the past, when He Yufeng returned from hunting in the mountains, he would leave some small animals at home for the three of them to eat. However, the original owner of the body was heartless. The large bowl of meat would enter her stomach. Sometimes, it was already not bad for the two children to get to drink two mouthfuls of meat soup!

At the thought of this, Su Li’s heart ached. Although these two children were not her biological children, now that she had used the original owner’s body, she would treat the children as her own from now on.

“Yay, yay! Brother, we can eat meat again tonight!”

He Qingmu was very excited when he heard Su Li’s words. He held He Qingyao’s small hand and wished he could jump into the sky.

In the past, they could not eat meat for a long time. Now, they could eat meat every few days. Moreover, the food his mother cooked for them every day was really fragrant and delicious!

If this was a dream, he didn’t want to wake up from it.

He Qingyao’s reaction was the complete opposite of He Qingmu’s. His serious little face was filled with worry.

Su Li glanced at him and asked, “Qingyao, what’s wrong? Do you not like meat or steamed meat? Tell me what you like to eat and I’ll make it for you.”

He Qingyao shook his head and said, “Mother, I like to eat meat, but we have to pay for Grandpa and Grandma’s retirement every month. I’m afraid that if you buy meat every day…”

His father was often not at home to earn money for his grandmother and the rest of the family. If he did not encounter any valuable prey, they would not be able to gather enough money to hand over in a month. If they could not hand over the money, his grandmother and the rest…

At the thought of this, He Qingyao could not help but shiver. Now that he saw Wang Chunhua, he could not help but be afraid. The aftereffects were too serious.

Su Li patted He Qingyao’s head lovingly and said, “Just eat as much as you can. Leave the rest to me.”

In the past, the host did not know how to make a living, so their lives were so difficult. Now that she could do many things, her life would not be as difficult as before!

The fragrance of meat wafted out of the small dilapidated kitchen, making the neighbor next door crave it!

He Mingshan sniffed and gulped. “Mother, I want to eat meat!”

Chen Xiang comforted her. “I’ll buy it for you next time. Be good!”

He Mingshan pursed his lips and said, “When will the next time be?”

His family could not even eat meat twice a year. He felt that there was no more oil in his stomach!

When Chen Xiang smelled the fragrance of meat, the glutton in her stomach also began to become active. Other than the wild boar meat and pig intestines that Su Li had sent over last time, their family only ate meat during the New Year!

There was no strong manpower in the family, so they had to rely on this woman for everything. It was not easy for her to raise this family alone, let alone buy meat to eat.

Even if she had the spare money, she would not buy it. After all, it was better to keep the money in her pocket than anything else. If something urgent happened at home, she could use the money to cover it.

“Is the next door cooking meat? Cough cough…”

He Dahai limped out. Before he could say anything, he started coughing.

Chen Xiang walked over and helped him up. “If you’re not feeling well, lie on the bed. The food will be ready in a while. I’ll bring it in for you later.”

He Dahai waved his hand. “How can I lie in bed every day? I still have to exercise. It’s been hard on you these few days. Your back hurts, but you’re still busy!”

After saying that, He Dahai sighed deeply.

“It’s all my fault for being useless. Why did I covet that small gain back then? If it weren’t for me… Forget it, let’s not talk about that!”

Seeing that He Dahai was in low spirits again, Chen Xiang quickly persuaded, “It’s okay. I’m still at home, right? As long as our family of three is harmonious, it’s better than anything.”

“Is Sister home?” Su Li’s voice came from outside the door.

“What is she doing here?” He Dahai couldn’t help but frown when he heard Su Li’s voice.

If not for the fact that he was useless, would Su Li dare to bully them like that?

He Dahai clenched his fists tightly, thinking that if Su Li dared to cause trouble again, he would teach her a lesson even if he had to risk his life.

Chen Xiang did not reject Su Li as much as before. After interacting with her a few times, she felt that Su Li was a good person and was much kinder. She was no longer as “shameless” as before.
