Chapter 115 -115: Kicked by a Donkey!
“Ouch, my little ancestor.”
“Ouch, why did Lele fall?”
Mrs. Lu and Little Aunt heard the child’s crying, turned their heads, and saw the little girl lying on the steps at the entrance, crying her heart out.
The two hurriedly helped her up.
Mrs. Lu, holding her granddaughter, nearly died of heartache as she rocked the sobbing child.
“Lele, sweetie, did you hurt yourself somewhere? Why are you crying so hard?”
Little Aunt inspected her carefully and saw that the little girl’s little palms were red and slightly scraped.
“No wonder she’s crying so hard, her hands are scraped.”
“Ouch, my dear granddaughter, it breaks my heart.”
“Don’t cry.”
Pingping and Anan anxiously circled around their sister, their little faces all scrunched up with worry.
That afternoon, the little girl didn’t run around with her brothers and was listlessly held by grandma and aunt in turns.
When Susu got home, she saw her sons happily running around, but was somewhat surprised not to see her daughter.
“Hey, where did the little girl go?”
As soon as she entered the house, the little girl saw her mother and her little lips puckered, and she started crying woefully.
Susu, amused yet sympathetic, held her daughter on the floor to comfort her, only then learning from her mother-in-law and Little Aunt that her daughter had fallen.
Looking at the little hands, which were now fine, she kissed her daughter’s chubby cheeks, “It’s okay, who asked this little one to run to the door? Consider it a lesson learned.”
Mrs. Lu and Little Aunt were so distressed that they cried in the afternoon.
Susu held her forehead; with mother-in-law and Little Aunt being so upset, she wondered how the return of father and son would affect their doting on her little girl.
Sure enough, when Lu Xiaoting arrived with a son in each hand, followed by Xiao Yu pushing a walker,
the father and son, upon hearing that Lele had fallen in the afternoon, made a big fuss comforting the little girl.
The little girl, who had been downcast that afternoon, just stayed in her father’s arms and would not touch the ground.
Pingping and Anan curiously followed their brother, mimicking whatever he did.
After a good night’s sleep, as the first rays of sunlight spilled in the next morning, a new day began.
Waking up, the little girl had already forgotten yesterday’s incident and happily followed her brothers.
Mrs. Lu and Little Aunt were worried, so they made a plan, with Mrs. Lu keeping an eye on the little girl and Little Aunt watching the two boys.
The brothers merrily walked ahead, their little legs moving quite fast, with the little girl following behind, shouting “didi” nonstop.
The courtyard echoed with the cheerful laughter of the three siblings.
“Auntie, Susu, my husband has come to see me, bringing quite a lot of our own harvested grain and some mushrooms picked from the mountains. I’ve brought some over.”
Wang Hong came with a basket on her back, followed by three children.
“Sister Hong is here, please have a seat.”
“Wang Hong is here, have a seat.”
Mrs. Lu quickly grabbed a stool for her, then grabbed two handfuls of candy for Wang Hong’s three children.
“Here, take the candy and share it among yourselves.”
The triplets didn’t dare to take it until they saw their mother nod, then politely thanked her.
The triplets curiously eyed the three siblings, walking back and forth to look.
Wang Hong sent the three siblings to watch their younger siblings to prevent them from knocking into or falling onto something, and then she started discussing the main issue.
“Susu, I had no other choice but to come to you; it’s just too hard to keep it to myself.”
Susu took on a serious tone, “What’s wrong, Sister Hong? Speak up, and we can all think of a solution together.”
Wang Hong sighed, and then she began, “Ever since I started making money with you, my greedy in-laws are always coming over to take advantage.
If it were about respecting my in-laws, I wouldn’t have much to say, since they did give birth to and raise my husband.
But instead, the old couple is using our things to support his younger brother. What? Now we have to support his brother’s family, too?”
“And what about your husband? What does he think?”
“Your brother-in-law just thinks we might as well consider it as respecting his parents and doesn’t say too much.
Lately, your brother-in-law must have been hearing too much gossip from his parents and siblings, afraid that I, making so much money, would look down on him and eventually leave them.”
Wang Hong became more and more agitated and spat in disdain, “I spit on that! If I were that kind of person, would I be working so hard like an old ox without any complaints?
Now, my husband came here to deliver goods and he’s asking me to go back, saying that now that our home conditions are good, it would be fine to return and continue farming.
If I had never seen the world, maybe, but now that I earn over a hundred a month, I won’t quit. My brain hasn’t been kicked by a donkey!”
Susu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, becoming speechless. All because of some baseless suspicions, they want his wife to give up her achievements?
And to think, if it hadn’t been for Sister Hong working so tirelessly, he would still be bedridden.
However, Sister Hong’s man isn’t the chauvinistic type; probably it’s just that he’s been overwhelmed by his family, overthinking without any basis of his own.
“Sister Hong, how about this—if you go back, say this, and then bring your husband and kids here as soon as possible. They can live in the courtyard behind the shop, which is perfect to help around.
Once your husband arrives, he can also go to the countryside to get vegetables to sell, shouting through the streets. Everybody in the city needs such things. It could also bring some extra income.”
“Susu, that’s a great idea; I’ll go back and say this right away.”
…
“My dear grandchildren, have you missed grandpa?”
Father Lu’s first action upon arriving home was to visit his beloved grandchildren.
The triplets scanned him with their big, dark eyes and then continued playing.
Seeing that his grandchildren ignored him, Father Lu wasn’t annoyed but smiled gently and slowly moved closer to the three siblings.
“Ah.”

“I am Grandpa.”
“Ah.”
“Grandpa.”
…
Mrs. Lu could hardly stand watching her husband; she had never seen him show such patience with any of their four children.
Father Lu glanced at his wife, “It’s not the same, besides our daughter who is tender and sweet, those three boys were always so rowdy, a day wouldn’t pass without them stirring up trouble.”
Just arriving home, Lu Xiaoting heard his father’s words and his mouth twitched slightly, thinking that grandparents really do favor their grandchildren.
To his grandparents, the grandchildren were precious whereas the sons were mere weeds, the kind that needed to be knocked down every other day.
Each time the old man came over, he could only stay for a day. Mrs. Lu had specifically stewed chicken soup to nourish him, as when he was alone, anything he did was makeshift.
On one hand, the family enjoyed the warm chicken soup, chatting and laughing along with the joyful cries of the children.
On the other, on the way back, Wang Hong told her children about her plans to stay in Provincial City.
The three children were both happy to stay with their mother and worried their father wouldn’t agree.
Wang Hong closed the door and discussed with her husband about moving the entire family to Provincial City.
“Hubby, moving here doesn’t mean we can’t respect your parents. We can give them five yuan a month for whatever they want to eat.”
“No! How can we farmers just quit farming land? That would be a waste of good land.”
