Chapter 105: Just a Dog
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Riceball was originally working hard to finish his meal. When he looked up, he realized that Su Li and the others had left. It was as if he had been forgotten.
Was it going to be abandoned again? The rice in the bowl suddenly didn’t smell good.
Today happened to be the day of the market.
There were already many people sitting on the ox cart at the entrance of the village. When Su Li carried a large bag and two children followed behind her, everyone started discussing again.
When Old Zhao saw Su Li, he said with a smile, “Su Li, where are you going with all your bags?”
The people at the side pricked up their ears to listen. Her sister-in-law,
Madam Zhao, was also on the ox cart. Old Master Zhao happened to ask the question in her heart and she could not help but lean closer to listen, afraid that she would miss a little news.
Su Li also saw Madam Zhao and gave her a meaningful smile.
Madam Zhao was shocked by Su Li’s smile. Why was she smiling at her for no reason?
Ever since Su Li threw a tantrum a few times, she was a little afraid when she saw Su Li!
Su Li placed the things on the ox cart and carried the two children up, in case there were no seats later.
She smiled and said, “I’m taking the children to stay at my mother’s house for a while.”
The fat woman frowned and said, “Your man hasn’t recovered yet, right? Why are you bringing the children to stay with your family?”
This woman was the one who spoke up for He Yufeng last time and almost fought with Auntie Li.
Su Li smiled and explained, “The children are already so old, but they haven’t seen what their grandparents look like. I’ll bring them back to see them. I’ve already asked Sister Chen to help take care of the children’s father.”
The fat woman said, “What can outsiders do? When your man starves to death at home later, no one will know that he has maggots growing on his body. It’s just your mother’s house, why are you in a hurry to go back? Wouldn’t it be better if you go back together after he recovers?”
The fat woman looked at Su Li in disdain. Her man was already in such a state, yet she still had the mood to return to her family. It could be seen that she was a heartless person!
Su Li looked like she had already made up her mind. “But recently, I want to go home. I don’t know when the children’s father will recover. If he stays in bed forever, wouldn’t I never be able to go back to my parents’ house?”
The fat woman’s tone was a little choked as she said, “Didn’t you hire a doctor last time? Didn’t the doctor say that everything was going smoothly? No matter how anxious you are to return to your mother’s house, these few days won’t matter, right?”
Su Li said innocently, “The doctor only said that everything was going smoothly. He didn’t say that he would definitely be able to stand up. I can’t stay by his side forever, right?”
After saying that, Su Li hurriedly covered her mouth, as if she had let something slip!
The fat woman felt a pain in her chest. She shouldn’t have persuaded this woman and caused herself to suffer for nothing. It was none of her business.
The onlookers at the side also shook their heads. Look, they had said before that if He Yufeng fell, Su Li would run away immediately.
Some time ago, they heard that she had found a doctor to take a look at He Yufeng. At that time, the villagers even said that although she was usually a little mischievous, she was still sensible in the face of big matters. Now, it seemed that they were wrong.
Husband and wife were birds in the same forest. When disaster came, they flew off separately. Fortunately, she still knew to bring the two children along.
When Madam Zhao heard Su Li’s words, her eyes flashed. What did her third sister-in-law mean? Could it be that she would never return after going to her parents’ house?
If Third Brother could still stand up, she would definitely not dare to leave with the children. At the very least, Third Brother would not let her take the children away just like that.
Didn’t all of this mean that Third Brother was completely crippled and could not stand up again?
Madam Zhao felt that she had exposed a huge secret. If He Yufeng’s wife left just like that and he had become a cripple, who would pay for the retirement money?
At the thought that the fixed monthly income would be gone in an instant, Madam Zhao felt terrible!
Originally, she wanted to go shopping on the street, but now she was not in the mood to go. She asked Old Zhao to return the money for the ox cart.
When Old Master Zhao heard that Madam Zhao wanted a refund, he was a little unhappy. “You just said that you wanted to take the ride, and now you’re saying that you don’t want to sit anymore. Do you think the ox cart belongs to your family? You can sit and get off with a refund as you please?!
Madam Zhao said, “Can’t I not take the ride if I have something on? Cut the crap and return the money to me quickly.”
Old Zhao was unhappy, but he still returned the money to Madam Zhao.
After receiving the money, Madam Zhao hurriedly walked home. “What is she doing? Why did she run away in such a hurry?”
“Nothing is certain. I guess there’s really something urgent at home!”
Su Li looked at Madam Zhao’s back and smiled. She’s going back to inform them so quickly?
Seeing that no one was coming out of the village, Old Zhao drove the ox cart and prepared to leave.
“Woof woof woof- I’ Just as the ox cart was about to set off, Su Li heard Riceball’s voice.
“Wait!” Su Li stopped Old Zhao.
Old Zhao looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Su Li said, “My dog is here!”
Old Zhao: “…” Her dog was here. What did it have to do with him?
Soon, Riceball’s figure appeared in their line of sight. Because he ran too quickly, Riceball’s fur was fying behind him.
He Qingmu pointed at Riceball and said excitedly, “Mother, look, it’s Riceball.” Riceball ran under the ox cart. Su Li bent down and carried it onto the ox cart.
“Riceball, why are you here?”
Su Li said helplessly, “Stay at home and watch over the house!”
Riceball turned his head to the side in a fit of pique.
Heh, this little fellow still had a temper!
He Qingmu suggested, “Mother, why don’t we bring it along?”
It was quite pitiful to leave Riceball alone at home. What if the bad guys captured him and ate him?
That day, he also heard people in the village say that dog meat was delicious, especially puppies like Ricealbl.
Seeing that the ox cart was still not leaving, the person on the cart said unhappily, “Are you leaving?”
Old Zhao looked at Su Li. “Su Li, quickly put down your dog. We’re leaving.” When Riceball heard this, he immediately turned to look at Su Li with pleading eyes.
Su Li stroked Riceball’s fur and said, “Let’s go. Riceball will come with us.”
Old Zhao was speechless. She’s bringing the dog to the market? Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a treasure!
“You’ve got to pay more for so many things with you!”
After Madam Zhao left, a dog came. No matter what, he had to earn some money back.
“Sure!”
Su Li didn’t want to argue with Old Zhao, so she paid the fare at half the price.
Just like that, Riceball occupied a seat.
Some people saw that Riceball’s seat was quite loose, so they slowly squeezed over.
Su Li swept a sharp glance over. “That’s my dog’s seat. Please sit over there!”
That person was unconvinced and said loudly, “It’s just a dog. Why does it occupy such a wide space?”
Su Li looked at her with a faint smile. “But I paid the fare for my dog, so this seat should be his. If you’re unhappy, get Master Zhao to return the fare to me.
I’ll immediately pick up Riceball..”
