Su Xiaoxiao was lost in thought.
Su Yuniang said, “I will visit the Old Su family’s house later, to see if I can find anything.”
“Did you encounter anything unusual during the days you were away?”
Su Xiaoxiao was asking if the Old Su family had secretly tried to cause trouble.
Su Yuniang frowned and said, “I almost forgot if you don’t mention it. There was nothing unusual, but there was a strange person.”
“What kind of person?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Yuniang hesitated, then said, “Never mind, just a crazy one, not worth mentioning. Let’s talk about you. How is the business in Fucheng? Did you mess it up?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened and said, “What do you mean by ‘mess it up’? Can’t you hope for something good for me?”
“I can.” Su Yuniang said, “So, did you mess it up?”
Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
Su Xiaoxiao quickly took out a stack of silver notes, dusted them off, and placed them on the table in an arrogant manner.
Su Yuniang smiled and said, “Oh, so impressive! You earned a hundred taels more than the last time in Fucheng. So who did you swindle from this time?”
Su Xiaoxiao seriously said, “I earned it myself!”
She absolutely wouldn’t admit that it was because Ergou was fighting with someone!
……
Su Yuniang had been busy gathering information these past few days, she felt even more tired than Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou.
After finishing their conversation, she went back to her room to catch up on her sleep without even eating.
The horse carriage was returned by Liu Ping.
After delivering the goods and getting all necessary items on the list, he went back to the village to handle the other carriage.
Liu Ping and Mrs. Wu handled the tasks without need to be instructed, and they would do it well.
They could take the initiative and do it on their own.
Although Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have to return the carriage by herself, she had two letters that she wanted to give to Aunt Fu and Dean Shen.
After lunch, she went to the town.
She went to Aunt Fu’s house first.
Apart from handing over the letter from Abbess Huijue to Aunt Fu, there was also another task to remove the splint for Aunt Fu.
In fact, Doctor Fu could have done it, but he was out on a medical visit again these past few days.
After removing the splint, Su Xiaoxiao helped Aunt Fu walk around a bit
“How do you feel?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Not much different!” Aunt Fu said as she exerted a little force.
She could feel the strength in her leg, and she could tell that her bones had indeed healed.
At her age, healing was extremely slow, and it was rare to recover this quickly.
“Ouch……”
Her leg went weak.
Su Xiaoxiao gently raised her hand and supported her.
“You haven’t used your strength for a long time, so you will need some time to adapt for a while.”
Aunt Fu snorted and said, “Do I need you to tell me that?”
She grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and limped back to her bed.
“It still hurts a bit,” she frowned. “Does that mean I’m not fully healed yet?”
Su Xiaoxiao explained, “It’s because you haven’t moved in a long time, causing the joints and ligaments to bond or contract. Through rehabilitation, the adhered ligaments can be pulled apart and it won’t be hurt anymore.”
Aunt Fu said expressionlessly, “That sounds painful.”
Su Xiaoxiao extended her chubby hand, “Come on, let me teach you.”
Aunt Fu sat on the bed and, playing tricks, said, “I’m tired.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Doctor Fu is not here, right?”
“He is not…… what are you doing?” Aunt Fu sensed something was wrong.
Su Xiaoxiao gave a mischievous smile, she bent down, lifted the person up, and ran away!
Aunt Fu: “! ! !”
Su Xiaoxiao carried her directly to the backyard.
Did you want to return back to your room?
You have to walk by yourself.
Aunt Fu’s face turned dark!
On the first day of the rehabilitation, Su Xiaoxiao was very lenient and only ‘tortured’ her for half an hour.
Afterward, Su Xiaoxiao proudly carried a large sack of red skinned peanuts and swaggered away.
