Chapter 116: Eating Fat
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and said with a smile, "We were a little rude and didn't tell you in advance."
"Haha, this kid is really good at talking. You must be tired after coming all this way. Why didn't your daughter-in-law pour some water for the guests?"
Jiang Lanlan was so happy that she forgot to entertain Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xingjun. She responded and was about to pour water when Su Xiaoxiao stopped her.
"No need. We came here by carriage. We're not tired or thirsty. We mainly came to see Lanlan!"
Only then did Mrs. Wu notice the villagers and a carriage surrounding the door.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh my goodness, you came here in a carriage? Is this yours?"
"Yes, it's our own carriage!"
"Hey, look, my wife's family is really great."
When Jiang Lanlan called Wu, she just said that someone from her mother's family had come. When Wu saw Jiang Xingjun and Su Xiaoxiao, she mistakenly thought that Su Xiaoxiao was Jiang Xingjun's future daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Wu was also very surprised. She had never heard that the Jiang family had a carriage before. It had only been a short time since they last saw them, and they could already afford one.
It would be great if this carriage belonged to them!
It will also be convenient to go to the county town to buy things in the future.
It seems that good days are yet to come for their family!
This daughter-in-law is really worth marrying!
Wu reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the carriage and said to Jiang Lanlan, "Daughter-in-law, please go and have a good talk with your family. I won't disturb you any more!"
After saying that, she ran towards the carriage.
She really wanted to appreciate such a nice carriage.
Jiang Lanlan saw the greed in Wu's eyes and was shocked. She asked Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice.
"Is this carriage yours?"
"It's mine, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
When Jiang Lanlan heard that the carriage belonged to Su Xiaoxiao, she felt relieved.
Wu and Xie Zhi asked her to go back to her parents' home to ask for money many times, but she refused. Xie Zhi quarreled with her several times and even beat her.
Now if Mrs. Wu knew that her parents had a carriage, she would torture her even more and force her to go back to her parents' home to ask for it.
But this carriage does not belong to the mother's family, so even if Wu and Xie Zhi want it, they can't do anything about it.
Although she had been married into the Xie family for not long, her life was not good.
She was a sensible and filial child. She didn't want her family to know and worry about her, so she never mentioned anything about her husband's family.
Of course, she didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to know.
This is her own choice, and she has to learn to face and solve it alone.
She quickly changed the subject.
"I didn't expect your business to be so successful that you can even afford a carriage."
Although Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Jiang Lanlan was acting strangely, she didn't think much about it and replied.
"I'm just a little bit luckier."
The two came to Jiang Lanlan's house. The house was quite spacious, but there were relatively few things in it.
After Jiang Lanlan pulled Su Xiaoxiao to sit down, she asked, "Where has your man been?"
"He's out!"
Jiang Lanlan replied casually and started asking Su Xiaoxiao.
"Tell me about your shop."
Seeing Jiang Lanlan's curious look, Su Xiaoxiao told her without hiding anything about her plan to open a noodle shop.
After hearing this, Jiang Lanlan was happier than if she had opened her own noodle shop.
"Really? I knew my Xiaoxiao was the best! I'll come to your place and show my support to you when I have time!"
"Okay! You're welcome anytime! I'll make you some delicious food and let you eat as much as you want!"
"You won't eat me into a big fat man, will you?"
"No, you're so slim, you won't become fat!"
As she was speaking, Su Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Lanlan to stand up and looked at her carefully.
"You've only been married a few months, how come you look a lot thinner?"
A hint of nervousness flashed across Jiang Lanlan's face, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Really? Maybe I've been busy at home lately and haven't gotten much sleep!"
"What's there to do at this time?"
The crops in the fields have basically grown and are ready to be harvested in the fall. There is not much work to do, so how could Jiang Lanlan be busy?
"The fields are not busy anymore, but we have a lot of poultry and livestock at home. We have to feed and clean them up every day, so it's relatively busy."
Su Xiaoxiao felt very strange. There were three people in the family. Even if they raised these things, they wouldn't tire people out to the point of becoming rotten, right?
"Really?"
Jiang Lanlan was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would become suspicious, so she smiled and said, "Of course, why would I lie to you?"
Seeing that Jiang Lanlan looked a little haggard but still healthy and happy, Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions.
As he spoke, Jiang Xingjun also moved all the things from the carriage into the house.
He also noticed that something was wrong with Wu's attitude towards the carriage outside, but when he saw Jiang Lanlan's happy smile, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At the same time, he also noticed that Jiang Lanlan had lost weight, so he hurried over and asked nervously, "Doesn't the Xie family allow you to eat enough? Why are you so thin?"
Jiang Lanlan knew her third brother had a bad temper, and she didn't want any unpleasantness between the two families, so she hurried to appease him.
"No, Third Brother, I just haven't had much appetite lately, so I've been eating less."
Jiang Xingjun suddenly thought of something.
Is Lanlan pregnant?
He had heard from his family that newlyweds were most likely to get pregnant, and the characteristic of pregnancy was loss of appetite and a lack of appetite.
He hadn't gotten married yet, so he didn't understand the details of what was going on. Thinking that he was his older brother, it wasn't appropriate to ask him such a private question, so he just smiled foolishly.
"Okay, okay. But even if you don't have an appetite, you still have to eat, okay? You can't starve yourself."
"Okay, I get it, Third Brother!"
Jiang Lanlan joked with Su Xiaoxiao again, "Why has my third brother become so nagging now? Xiaoxiao, please don't find him annoying in the future!"
Su Xiaoxiao replied: "That's because I'm thinking of you!"
"Hehehe, I know you all feel sorry for me, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
The three of them chatted together for the whole morning. Seeing that it was almost time, Su Xiaoxiao suggested leaving.
Jiang Lanlan took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Why don't you stay and have dinner before you leave?"
"No, we still have to go back to the shop to teach our third brother how to make new food."
Su Xiaoxiao was not actually in a hurry, but seeing that it was almost lunch time and Mrs. Wu had not returned yet, nor did she show any intention of treating them to a meal, they thought it would be tactful for them to leave so as not to cause trouble for Jiang Lanlan.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao insisted, Jiang Lanlan no longer tried to persuade her to stay.
When they arrived at the carriage, Jiang Lanlan said goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xingjun reluctantly.
Jiang Xingjun helped Su Xiaoxiao into the carriage. Su Xiaoxiao was startled as soon as she lifted the curtain.
Wu actually fell asleep in the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao gently pushed Wu and said, "Aunt, we are leaving!"
Only then did Mrs. Wu realize what was happening. She got up sleepily and got off the carriage reluctantly.
As she got off the bus, she kept muttering to herself.
"It's so comfortable to sleep in this carriage."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed, but she didn't want to be unhappy, so she opened the curtains and waved goodbye to Jiang Lanlan.
Jiang Xingjun got on the carriage and said to Jiang Lanlan, "Sister, let's go!"
Jiang Lanlan's eyes moistened as she urged, "Third brother, help Xiaoxiao with his work!"
"Okay, got it. Go!"
As the whip made a crisp sound in the air, the carriage gradually moved away.
Mrs. Wu's face darkened instantly and she turned and walked into the house.
"Okay, stop looking and go back to cook. Your man will be hungry when he comes back soon."
