Before leaving, Liang Ladi helped measure it.

The sizes of Su Ting and Xiao Huaihua's clothes.

I'm going to use these fabrics I bought.

Make a new set of clothes for each of them before the Spring Festival.

Su Ting returned to the courtyard house just after four o'clock.

Little Locust Flower was tired after a long day.

He was fast asleep, nestled on Su Ting's shoulder.

I just arrived at the front yard.

I saw several elderly gentlemen playing chess in the courtyard.

Sha Zhu was giving advice to the chess players from the sidelines.

This angered Liu Haizhong, who cursed directly.

"Silly Zhu! What are you doing meddling in? You're just making things worse!"

But just as he looked up to speak...

His horse was secretly taken away by Yan Bugui.

Sha Zhu continued talking to himself about how to move the pieces.

There's nothing Liu Haizhong can do about Sha Zhu.

He was just about to use his horse to leap out and checkmate the enemy.

But he discovered that his horse was missing and immediately asked Yan Bugui.

"Where's my horse? It's gone!"

"Did you hide it secretly?"

"Isn't this cheating?"

"Oh dear, how would I know about your horse? Get off quickly!"

Yan Bugui remained calm and urged Liu Haizhong to continue.

Yi Zhonghai sat to the side, watching them bicker with a smile.

At this moment, Sha Zhu seized the opportunity to counterattack.

"Hey, Second Uncle, you're out of horses?"

"Do you want me to give you some advice?"

This enraged the second uncle, who then flipped the chessboard over.

They chased after Sha Zhu, wanting to beat him up.

"You brat! How dare you talk to your elders like that? Stop right there and don't run away!"

But Sha Zhu was not about to obediently listen.

He took off running, leaving behind a slightly overweight body.

Liu Haizhong was panting after running only a couple of steps.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai stood up and apologized on behalf of Sha Zhu.

The third uncle was still regretfully putting away the chess pieces.

What was a close call has now been completely ruined.

He was hoping that if he won, he could get some sunflower seeds to eat.

Su Ting came over carrying the sleeping little locust flower and teased her.

"Huh? Gentlemen, do we have to move the table just to play chess?"

"Is there some kind of infighting going on?"

Upon seeing that it was Su Ting, Yan Bugui quickly protested his innocence.

"Su Ting, this is not my fault."

"If it weren't for Sha Zhu interfering, I would have won for sure."

The other two elderly men also greeted him with smiles.

Liu Haizhong looked at the little locust flower and said to Su Ting.

"Look at you, taking her everywhere to play."

"What if we anger the Jia family?"

He brought this up intentionally.

Because I had done things for the Jia family before.

However, Jia Zhangshi misunderstood that he had ulterior motives.

From that time on, the two families had a feud.

In addition, there's the recent incident of the stick-shaped egg-stealing.

So every time he had the chance, he wanted to cause trouble for the Jia family.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui hurriedly offered an explanation.

"We all know that Su Ting meant well."

"People are more than happy for you to treat Xiaohua well, so why would they have any objections?"

“That’s right, Su Ting is a rare good person in our courtyard.”

"Nobody will hold it against you."

Despite what everyone said, Liu Hai was still unconvinced.

"That's true, but just in case."

"After all, you all know Jia Zhangshi's personality..."

"Haha, thank you for your concern, Uncle."

"If there's a real problem, I'll just hide behind these old men."

"I definitely won't suffer a loss," Su Ting replied with a smile.

After hearing this, the three men patted their chests and promised to help him solve his problem.

Liu Haizhong's words.

It means they want to win me over to fight against the Jia family.

However, there is some truth to what he said.

After all, Jia Zhangshi was known for being difficult to deal with.

But Su Ting didn't care much.

He knew that Jia Zhangshi was actually very shrewd.

She knows her limits and is very clear about who she should and shouldn't offend.

Now, the mere sight of Su Ting is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Even though I tried to amuse her this time when she came back.

She always greeted us with a smile.

"Oh dear! All the gentlemen are here."

Why are you two having such a good chat?

At this moment, Qin Huairu came out of the courtyard.

She had been listening at the door for quite a while.

Liu Haizhong's words naturally reached his ears as well.

But she is a quick-witted person.

They won't be foolish enough to directly clash with Liu Haizhong.

Su Ting saw Qin Huairu approaching with a smile.

He glanced again at the gentle expressions on the faces of the three old men.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Old fox."

Then he took a few steps forward.

He handed the small locust flower he was holding to Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin is here. I was just talking to these people about the chess game."

"Huaihua has been playing all day and is tired, so she has fallen asleep."

Qin Huairu took the sleeping little locust flower.
