Chapter 184: Guarding His Taro Cakes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A tall and burly man was carrying two bamboo baskets covered with cloth. It was a peculiar sight that almost made passersby stumble.
As people regained their senses, they realized it was Su Shen, the village’s tough guy, prompting widened eyes all around.
Striding purposefully with the baskets his young wife had given him, he vanished from sight in no time.
The cloth draped over the baskets was even more remarkable, adorned with dainty floral patterns and lace borders.
It was utterly surprising to see those cloth-covered baskets in Su Shen’s hands!
The scene was simply too intriguing; it seemed Mr. Su had a soft side hidden deep within.
Upon reaching the pig farm, employees gazed in astonishment at Su Shen’s arrival. They acknowledged his wife’s adeptness in managing her husband!
However, as soon as Su Shen’s gaze swept over them, they quickly went about their own tasks.
Handing one basket to Jin Long for distribution, Su Shen carried the other into the office.
Jin Long promptly followed suit. Su Shen had already divided the contents of the basket according to Gu Zit s instructions, placing several portions on his desk for a break-time snack when he got tired.
The remaining pieces stayed untouched in the basket as Su Shen left it in the office, instructing Jin Long to inform Lin Cheng and others to collect them after work.
Having relished one piece earlier, Jin Long marveled at the delectable flavor of the taro cake. Eyeing the ones on Su Shen’s desk, he was ready to indulge once more.
Su Shen caught a glimpse of his movements and quickly covered his taro cakes with something.
Jin Long frowned. “You’re too stingy, nothing like my generous sister-in-law.”
With a cold tone, Su Shen replied, “Hmm, not sharing.” At that moment, he was fiercely guarding his share.
Jin Long retorted, “Alright, Su Shen, I’ve got you marked. Next time I see
Sister-in-law, I’ll ask her to make me a plate!”
Having said his piece, Jin Long swiftly departed, refusing to give Su Shen any opportunity to retort.
Jin Long slipped away without giving Su Shen any chance to meddle with him.
In the afternoon, when the children returned from school, Gu Zi handed them the gifts Su Shen had bought. They were all very happy.
Su Bing swiftly stowed away the blue car-shaped pencil case into the innermost compartment of his backpack.
Meanwhile, Su Li was captivated by his new gadget, incessantly showing it off to Su Le. His pencil case could automatically open and close—too cool!
It even had hidden compartments for segregating the eraser, ruler, and pencils, resembling a fighter jet within a pencil case.
Observing her older brothers with their new toys, Su Le looked on longingly.
Eventually, she turned away and went outside to sit beside Big Yellow, ignoring Su Li’s attempts to call her back.
It wasn’t until Su Shen came home and lifted her up that she agreed to go inside, her little mouth calling out, “Daddy, Daddy!” in a pleasing tone.
Su Li followed suit into the house, leaving only Big Yellow behind, watching them with forlorn eyes, seemingly harboring a sense of resentment.
When Gu Zi brought its dinner, Big Yellow finally wagged its tail, seeking to please Gu Zi by nuzzling against her leg.
As if saying, “Only Mom loves me the most!”
Later that night, Su Shen and Gu Zi slept on the same bed, but nothing embarrassing occurred. After Su Le fell asleep, they kissed each other for a long time.
The following morning, Gu Zi woke up early to prepare breakfast and get things ready for school. By the time she woke up, Su Shen had already left, mentioning that he had deliveries to make that day.
“Is Gu Zi up? I’m here to pick up Lele,” Zhang Cuihua’s voice echoed from outside the courtyard.
Gu Zi had visited Zhang’s house last night to ask Mrs. Zhang for help in looking after Su Le. Surprisingly, before Gu Zi could send the child over, Mrs. Zhang had arrived.
Guzi quickly opened the door and said, “Lele hasn’t woken up yet. Would you mind carrying her over? Also, here’s the porridge Lele wanted for breakfast. There isn’t much left, but it’s enough to share with your grandson.”
Mrs. Zhang carefully held onto Lele and accepted the food prepared by Gu Zi, noticing that Gu Zi had also packed some snacks for her grandson.

Mrs. Zhang felt Gu Zi was being overly polite, but knowing she couldn’t convince her otherwise, she planned to return the favor by bringing some vegetables from her garden when Gu Zi came back.
Taking Su Le with her as the morning light dawned, Mrs. Zhang swiftly departed. Su Bing and Su Li finished breakfast at lightning speed and rode their bikes to school.
Today, their beautiful mother was going to attend their school event. Now, they had a mother too!
Gu Zi wasted no time either. She loaded everything into the small bamboo-woven cart, dressed appropriately, and slung her bag across her shoulder.
She had to take a bus to the city and then go to the school. With so many things to carry, it was the only way she could manage to carry everything..
