After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 49: Treating the whole village to a meal!

So the neighbors all praised Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "Xiaoxiao, you really know how to manage a household!"

"Yes, it's such a pity that such a capable girl was taken away by slave traders. Look how clean and tidy this house is, you can't tell at all that Su Xiaoxiao is a widow!"

"Yes, look! Their children's clothes are so clean, even their shoes are brand new. These shoes are the kind only city people wear. The quality is excellent!"

Su Xiaoxiao's face showed a very proud expression, of course, she wanted her neighbors to praise her like that.

“Look again, the table that Su Xiaoxiao’s family uses has been lacquered, and it looks very expensive.”

Seeing the situation at Su Xiaoxiao's home, everyone knows that Su Xiaoxiao is living a very good life, and they are very proud of her and her family.

Now, Su Xiaoxiao has actually benefited from this misfortune, or so everyone thinks.

When these kind words reached Granny Liu's ears, she seemed to find them very grating, always feeling that they were meant to mock her.

Thinking about it this way, Su Xiaoxiao realized that the meal was actually quite worthwhile.

"In that case, this meal was well worth it."

"Yes, Qiaoqiao is a good cook, and with the seasonings she bought in the city, it looks pretty good, and the dishes smell delicious."

"I wish I could eat food like this every day."

"You people seem to have never seen the world before. Can't you say something decent?"

"That's how we are. We eat wild vegetables every day, so of course we feel good when we can have such a nice meal once in a while!"

Of course, everyone's mood is a little different, and the smiles on their faces are all different.

They all seemed to have their own secrets, but right now, all we could see was Granny Liu standing there with a long face, looking like she was deliberately picking a fight, making a lot of noise with the bowls and chopsticks in front of her.

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Grandma Liu with a big smile and asked, "Would you like some more rice?"

Grandma Liu suddenly felt guilty and almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks she was holding on the ground.

"No, I didn't mean that!"

"Are you feeling guilty?"

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that? I didn't set the fire. Besides, did anyone see me set the fire? If they dare to frame me, I'll have someone tear their mouths apart."

Grandma Liu said this, and she did so quite loudly that all the neighbors heard her.

Liu Dazhuang coughed awkwardly beside him. He didn't really want to cough, but he was still feeling a little flustered.

Surely no one saw it?
So he and Granny Liu pretended to eat with their heads down. At this moment, Li Dongmei came over, clutching the broken rice bowl in her hand, and said to Su Xiaoxiao in a very cowardly manner, "Could you give me a bowl of chicken noodle soup?"

At this moment, Liu Dazhuang had a very angry expression when he saw Li Dongmei, but when he saw her also coming over to ask Su Xiaoxiao for food, Liu Dazhuang became even angrier.

He ignored her completely. Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao, who was making chicken noodle soup for everyone in the yard, said, "Okay, bring your bowl over here!"

Li Dongmei never expected that Su Xiaoxiao could be so generous.

Once Su Xiaoxiao saw that everyone had almost finished eating, she announced to the villagers that she had already bought a house in town and would soon move there with her children.

The village head looked very surprised. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Are you really planning to move away like this?" Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. She told the village head, "Actually, the houses in our area are quite big. There are three rooms: a living room and two main rooms. Houses like these are actually quite cheap and very hard to find."

The village head looked very regretful, but seeing that Su Xiaoxiao's house was burned down like this and was no longer suitable for living, it was only right that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to find another way out.

After Su Xiaoxiao announced the matter to everyone, they left one after another after dinner.

Surprisingly, Su Xiaoxiao showed no intention of finding out the murderer and kept the matter quiet.

By evening, it was completely dark.

With the moon shining tonight, Su Xiaoxiao saw Liu Zian sitting forlornly in their courtyard, seemingly preoccupied with something.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a stone and gently hit Liu Zian on the back.

Liu Zian turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing next to the fence next to his house.

Unexpectedly, his first words were, "Xiaoxiao, are you really leaving?"

What Su Xiaoxiao saw was Liu Zian's extremely reluctant expression, which made her feel quite sorry for him.

Su Xiaoxiao was also very surprised at this moment. Why did Liu Zian look so sad?
"I've heard you're leaving? Is it true? Are you really going to settle down in town?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Mm."

"But didn't you say you wanted to wait a while longer? Now you still want Da Bao and Xiao Bao to come and learn with me for a while before..."

Upon hearing that it was because of this, Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "I didn't want to either, but as you can see, my house is burned down like this now, and I really can't stay in this village any longer."

Su Xiaoxiao was actually quite helpless, because she had just bought the new house and knew nothing about the environment there.

New challenges and a new way of life are about to await her.

The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao said to her two children, "You stay home and watch the house. I'm going to town."

Su Xiaoxiao drove the oxcart out, not thinking about anything else at that moment.

She just wanted to go to town to inquire about Sanlang's whereabouts again, but there was still no news.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the village, looking very disappointed. At the village entrance, she encountered Sun Shi.

When Sun saw Su Xiaoxiao come over, she noticed that Su Xiaoxiao seemed very upset and asked, "What happened?"

"How about this, Sister Sun, let's go pick wild chrysanthemums together."

Mrs. Sun was also very curious; she wanted to know what was so special about this bitter Job's tears that someone would pay such a high price for it.

Since it was Su Xiaoxiao who suggested it, she should just believe it. After all, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to take her out to get rich, which was a kind of help for her, wasn't it?

At first, Sun felt a little embarrassed, but then Su Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Sun, there's nothing wrong with it. These things are everywhere in the mountains, so let's just go out and collect them."

Only then did Mrs. Sun nod in agreement.
