Within a few days, Su Sanmei figured out Su Xiaolu’s temper.

If she cried but didn’t poop, then that meant she wanted to go out for a walk.

Su Sanmei realized that Su Xiaolu liked to look at the broken water vat at home. Every time Su Xiaolu cried, she had to play by the water tank.

“Simei, why do you like this vat so much? There’s nothing to see.”

Su Sanmei was puzzled.

Su Xiaolu moved her hand. She didn’t like the water vat in particular. She just wanted to put her finger in it and let some of the spiritual spring water flow into the water tank. There was no harm in it because everyone in the family used this water.

However, Su Sanmei did not understand what she meant. She just held her and stood by the side of the vat every time.

“Huh.”

Su Sanmei looked down at the vat and noticed her reflection in the water. She found it strange and squatted down to look.

She didn’t notice that Su Xiaolu’s fingers had finally reached into the water vat.

The spiritual spring water from the Space flowed into the water vat.

“So you wanted to see your own shadow, Simei. That’s clever, but you’re too young to get too close. Vats can be dangerous.”

With that, Su Sanmei stood up with Su Xiaolu in her arms.

Su Xiaolu retracted her hand. She did it. If she couldn’t look, so be it.

Su Sanmei carried Su Xiaolu to the courtyard to bask in the sun. The early winter sun felt comfortable on her body. Su Xiaolu loved the sun.

After a while, she felt a shadow. Su Xiaolu thought that the sky was dark. She opened her eyes and saw that her brothers were looking at her curiously.

“Simei, I’m Big Brother.”

Su Chong said.

“Simei, I’m Second Brother.”

Su Hua said.

Su Xiaolu smiled at the two of them, making Su Chong and Su Hua laugh.

“Simei is so beautiful. She must be a deity.”

Su Chong praised her from the bottom of his heart. He had never seen anyone more beautiful than his fourth sister, so she must be a deity.

Su Hua nodded in agreement. “Deity sister, hehe.”

Su Sanmei smiled and said seriously, “Simei is not a deity. She was born of a mother. Like us, she is the child of our mother and father.”

Su Chong and Su Hua did not understand. They did not care to listen either. They firmly believed that such a beautiful sister was a deity.

When Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao heard this conversation, they looked at each other and smiled.

Su Sanlang said, “Darling, maybe our Simei is really a deity.”

Madam Zhao smiled helplessly. “Sanlang, you believe what the children say?”

Su Sanlang said seriously, “Darling, there’s a basis for what I’m saying. Look, she cried non-stop when you were in danger after giving birth. Also, Sanmei often washed diapers there and that area is filled with worms and grass. It made our livestock grow well. Anyway, I believe Simei is a deity.”

Su Sanlang was really convinced. He felt that ever since this daughter came along, the family’s situation had improved bit by bit, and the family did not have to worry about food.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, “I hope Simei is blessed.”

It was good to be lucky. In the future, if she found a good family, she would not have to worry about food. A woman’s life was like seeds that had been blown away by the wind. She would grow well if she lands at a good place and would live a bitter life otherwise.

Su Sanlang smiled. “She must be.”

Thinking about the future made Su Sanlang’s hands feel stronger. This family was becoming more and more like a home.

“Darling, I’ll go into town again tomorrow and exchange those wild animals for money.”

Thinking about the group of animals behind the house, Su Sanlang’s voice was filled with joy. After accumulating for more than ten days, he had gathered more than a hundred catties of wild animals.

Madam Zhao nodded. “Okay.”

With a gate left open, the entire courtyard was completely surrounded.

It was cold, and the family went to bed as soon as it was dark.

On the 19th of September, Su Sanlang woke up before dawn. Madam Zhao also got up gently to help clean up.

Su Sanlang said in a low voice, “Darling, after we sell these, if we catch more in the future, we’ll keep some at home. I’ll buy some salt, and we’ll marinate the meat and make it into cured meat. Next year, we can also buy a small pig to raise.”

Madam Zhao smiled and replied, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

With that, Madam Zhao went to get their money box and prepared to give the hundreds of copper coins she had saved to Su Sanlang. Su Sanlang only took two coins. He smiled and said, “I don’t need money. Put it away properly. When we have more, I want to take Chong and Hua to town to see a doctor.”

These words touched Madam Zhao’s heart, and she instantly teared up.

Su Sanlang wiped away her tears and said gently, “Darling, we’ll get better and better. These days, I think Chong and Hua have become much smarter. Perhaps there’s still a chance, so let’s save this money well and try to bring them to see a doctor as soon as possible.”

Madam Zhao nodded. “Yes.”

Su Sanlang carried the heavy basket on his back and left. Madam Zhao sent him off with tears in her eyes. When she could no longer see Su Sanlang’s back, Madam Zhao returned to the house.

She hid the money box well. It was the hope of her two sons.

Madam Zhao tidied up the house. Small vegetable seedlings had also started growing in the four acres of land at the back of the house and had to be watered every day. Madam Zhao even asked Su Sanlang to make a urine bucket to collect manure and fertilize the crops.

Su Sanlang entered town and went straight to the Sun residence as usual.

When the servant saw him, he greeted him familiarly and said, “Brother, you’re finally here. The goods you brought were really good. My master can’t even stand others’ anymore. Butler Sun and Uncle Fu have come to ask me about you several times.”

Su Sanlang had not been here for twenty days.

Su Sanlang smiled and said, “I was busy at home, so I didn’t come into town.”

Seeing the heavy basket on his back, the servant smiled and said, “Alright, quickly go into the residence. Uncle Fu already said that if you come again, I don’t have to report. Just send the things to the kitchen for him to take a look at.”

Su Sanlang was also happy. “Alright, then. Brother, you can go ahead. I’ll go over now,” he replied.

The servant smiled and nodded, feeling very happy. Previously, Sun Fu and Butler Sun had already instructed him. As long as he saw Su Sanlang, he would welcome him into the house. If the master gave out an award, he would get some too.

The servant called Su Sanlang his God of Fortune. Su Sanlang’s money was nothing. The head of the family’s award would be much greater. Therefore, the servant decided to build a good relationship with Su Sanlang.

Su Sanlang went straight to the kitchen yard. The kitchen was busy, and curses could be heard from time to time.

“Get the fire going. What did I teach you? The taste of this dish is about to dissipate. Even dogs wouldn’t eat something that tastes bad!”

“Cut the vegetables faster. Do you still want to eat? All of you are terrible at cooking. When can you graduate?”

Sun Fu had a fiery temper and the kitchen was filled with oil and smoke. He simply left the kitchen and saw Su Sanlang when he came out. The frustrated Sun Fu immediately smiled and walked towards Su Sanlang.

“It’s been a long time, brother. Did you find other buyers?”

As Sun Fu greeted him, he sized up Su Sanlang.
