Chapter Thirty: The Village Head's Visit

  "Alright, since Fang'er wants to try, go buy some back then." After feeding the chickens, Ye Shi tucked the silver into her bosom and headed towards the village entrance. She too was eager to repay the money to those two unfilial sons as soon as possible.

  Su Xiaofan brought in some food and asked with a smile: "Mother, how's your body today?"

  "Ah, good, Xuan'er is being very well-behaved today."

  "Xuan Er?" Su Xiao Fan asked aloud, could it be that was her brother's name?

  "Uh, your father said before he left that if it's a boy, his name would be Su Xiao Xuan." Mrs. Jia sat up and leaned against the pillows stacked behind her, taking the bowl from Su Xiao Fan's hands and saying: "Xiao Fan, in the future, cook fewer eggs, your grandmother will worry after you finish eating them."

  "It's okay, I can take care of myself. You just focus on taking care of your brother and keeping yourself healthy." Su Xiaofan smiled as she walked back to her own room, it was about time to wake up the little treasure, wonder why he slept in so late today?

  In the room, Xiao Yi Mo opened a pair of bright black eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

  Su Xiaofan furrowed his brow, and for a moment, the expression on his face was unusually mature, not at all like what a child of his age should have: "Little treasure? What's wrong?"

  Xiao Yimeng blinked his eyes, looked at her lightly, and then quietly got up.

  "I've put the food on the table, you can go eat now." Su Xiaofan started tidying up the bed after he got out of it, planning to find some time to take off the sheets and wash them. However, it seemed like there were no spare sheets at home, so they could only wait for a sunny day to wash them in the morning and use them at night.

  "Hmm." Xiao Yimeng softly responded and then walked out.

  "Fan Er, the village head has arrived, you'd better come out quickly."

  Su Xiaofan hadn't even tidied up her room when she heard Ye Shi's voice and hastily put down the quilt in her hand to go out.

  Xiao Yimo sat at the table eating, regarding what Ye Shi said about Xiao Changfu, as if he hadn't heard half of it, and didn't react in any way.

  "Little master, have a meal. Village chief, please sit down." Ye Shi brought a stool from the house and put it at the door of the main room. He had just returned after paying back silver to several households, and unexpectedly ran into the village chief, who had suddenly come over for some unknown reason.

  "Is there something going on, old man?" Su Xiao Fan smiled and came out to greet him. Although he had heard that the village chief was Little Treasure's grandfather, he hadn't called him that before, and for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to say "grandfather".

  "It just so happens that in a few days, I'll be celebrating my 50th birthday. On that day, bring your little grandson back with you, it's a good opportunity for you to get familiar with the environment you'll be living in in the future." Xiao Changfu smiled and glanced at Xiao Yimeng inside the house, his eyes deepening with amusement.

  Su Xiaofan heard this and asked: "Really? We'll definitely go then. At that time, we have to give you a birthday gift."

  Xiao Changfu waved his hand and smiled: "No need for birthday gifts, but I heard Xiaoxi say that the things you made are quite delicious. Can you prepare the wine banquet this time?"

  "Well, that saves me some silver." Su Xiaofan smiled, cooking was her profession after all, why wouldn't she be happy to do it?

  "Well, I'll be off then. You'd better come early tomorrow." Xiao Changfu stood up and handed a basket he had brought with him to Su Xiaofan, saying: "There are 200 eggs in here, for your mother to eat during her confinement."

  Ye Shi hurried over and pushed back: "How can this be good, Village Chief should take it back."

  Xiao Changfu stroked his beard a few times: "It's just some eggs laid by our own chickens, not anything valuable. You can take them. I wasn't home the other day, so I didn't send them over right away."

  "So we'll take it." Su Xiao Fan smiled as he took over, almost unable to hold on, and carefully carried the basket into the kitchen to put it away.

  "Thank you, Village Chief." Ye Shi saw that Su Xiaofan had accepted them and no longer continued to decline.

  "Excuse me, I'll take my leave." Xiao Changfu never spoke with Xiao Yimò inside the house.

  Xiao Yi Mo never came out of the house until Xiao Chang Fu left, and then he slowly walked out.

  "Little treasure, haven't you been feeling well lately?" Su Xiaofan put down the eggs and walked out, asking Xiao Yimeng with a strange expression.

  "No, it's just that I'm annoyed and don't want to go back there." Xiao Yimiao turned her black eyes and replied calmly.

  "Why?" Su Xiao Fan walked over curiously, usually people wouldn't not want to go back to their own home.

  "Don't tell you..." Xiao Yimiao glanced at her and walked towards the chicken coop, thinking about what to do to pass this boring time.

  Su Xiaofan pouted: "Forget it." Then she started clearing the bowls and chopsticks.

  Yu Xiaoxi rushed over with a small bag of red peanut, and as soon as she entered the yard, she shouted loudly: "Xiao Fan, my sister said you use this to cook red date peanut porridge for your mother to eat, which is good for her body recovery."

  "Okay." Su Xiao Fan ran out to receive it and asked anxiously, "Is it always okay to bring things over?"

  "It's okay, no big deal. Besides me and my sister, nobody else in the family knows." Yu Xiaoxi blinked her eyes playfully.

  "After this, it's better if you don't bring things over anymore. If their family members find out, it won't be good." Su Xiaofan remembered that Yu Xiaohe's mother-in-law seemed to be a very troublesome person, and in recent years, because Yu Xiaohe had not given birth to a child, she had not made life easy for the two sisters.

  "Don't worry, Xiao Fan, it's just some small things, knowing them won't make a big difference." Yu Xiaoxi waved her hand with an expression that said it was no big deal.

  Su Xiaofan shook her head, couldn't do anything about it, and later when the conditions were better, she would send them some things as a way to repay their help to this family over the years.

  After putting away the things in her hand, Su Xiaofan pointed to the empty space beside the house and said to Yu Xiaoxi: "When will your family's Su Bing have a holiday? Help me build a wooden fence there."

  Su Xiaofan said that Su Bing was his own family, Yu Xiaoxi suddenly blushed and stammered: "I don't know either, I'll go ask him for you another day."

  "Uh, if you don't have time, then help me ask your brother-in-law to see how much money it would take to hire someone to do it. Also, build a shed so that when it rains, there's somewhere to hide." The former Su Xiaofan seemed to truly be oblivious to the world, shutting herself in her own little world, only paying attention to things related to her fiancé Zhang Yuncong, and really not understanding or knowing anything else.

  "Okay, I'll go ask Su Bing first and then talk about it. It's best if we can get everyone from the wine tower to come and help us rest together, so we can also save some money." Yu Xiaoxi still knew some people who worked with Su Bing in the wine tower, after all, when she had nothing to do, she would always go there to find him, and over time, they gradually became familiar.
