Chapter 88 -88 Falling into a Manure Pit?

Taking advantage of the hot and cozy room, with the help of her mother-in-law, Susu swiftly washed her hair.

After nearly fifty days, looking at the murky water in the washbasin, Susu comfortably let out a long sigh of relief.

Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, as she took a towel to dry her elder sister’s hair.

A worried Mrs. Lu and Little Aunt insisted that Susu stay by the stove to dry her hair.

Only after the two elders were sure Susu’s hair was truly dry did they let her lie down at ease.

Everyone in the room was sweating from the heat, Susu touched the sweat on her head, feeling refreshed and comfortably squinted her eyes to relish the rare and comfortable sensation.

After Xian Yue’s daughter-in-law came out of confinement, Lu Xiaoting started looking for a house near the Family Court to move his wife and child over.

After all, it couldn’t be that the wife and child stayed in the county, leaving father and son staring at each other every day.

It was not easy but they finally found a residence not far from the Family Court and the brine goods court.

The residence had an empty space in front of and behind the house, consisting of four rooms in total, two main rooms each in the east and west houses, a central hall, and a utility room.

“Susu, your brother just called to say that he found a house and wanted to ask if you had any opinions?”

Susu thought for a moment, “Mom, tell Lu Xiaoting it would be best to buy a house. I want to build a bathroom for the house.

Furthermore, it can also serve as an investment, like the two properties I bought before. The little sister mentioned last time she was here that the nearby shops had gone up by 200.”

Mrs. Lu was somewhat hesitant but thinking about the inconvenience her daughter-in-law faced going to the toilet in winter during her confinement, and considering all the money at home came from her daughter-in-law.

She nodded, “Okay, Mom will call him right now.”

Susu turned her head and met Su Sanya’s worried gaze, pausing momentarily.

“What’s up, Sanya?”

After hesitating, Sanya whispered, “Sister, aren’t you afraid that Aunt will be angry with you for saying this?”

“Why would she be?”

Susu slightly furrowed her brow, “No, don’t worry.”

Sanya, reassured by her elder sister’s confidence, also let her hanging heart down. Her elder sister was so capable, surely there was reason in her words.

Susu didn’t even know what her little sister was thinking; otherwise, she would surely chuckle foolishly.

After receiving his mother’s call in Provincial City, Lu Xiaoting went to inquire about the courtyard from the landlord.

Unfortunately, the landlord made it clear he was only interested in renting, not selling.

Lu Xiaoting wasn’t discouraged and whenever he had time, he’d ride around nearby residential areas with Xiao Yu, looking for any suitable houses for sale.

“Uncle, have my younger brother and sisters grown again?”

“Yes, kids grow fast, probably grew another ring.”

Xiao Yu nodded, “Yeah, Uncle, let’s keep it up, find a house sooner, and get Aunt and my younger siblings here sooner. I really miss them so much.”

The man’s throat bobbed, his deep dark eyes dimmed slightly, and he hummed softly.

“Uncle does too.”

Back in the county, Susu spent her carefree days just eating and sleeping, feeling great but bored.

One day, Susu pinched the newly acquired fat around her waist and raised an eyebrow.

“I knew coming out of the month would round me out.”

“Well, that’s good; the original owner was a bit too thin before, now having thickened a bit, it’s just right.”

Sanya was completely confused, “Sister, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you.”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

Susu quickly waved her hand, joking that if people heard, they would say she was too thin and needed to eat more.

“Sanyi, when we return to the county, you won’t go back to the marinated goods courtyard right away. You’ll first go help out at the restaurant.

Your Sister Xian Yue is pregnant and probably won’t be able to get out for a while, so you should learn how to make noodles from her.”

“Got it, second sister.”

Su Sanya was secretly surprised; her second sister had other business as well, but no matter what, all she needed to do was follow her sister’s commands.

She wasn’t very clever, but doing whatever her second sister asked was just fine.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoting tirelessly found two properties, one near the Family Court with a slightly shabby house but a large courtyard.

The other a bit further away with a smaller courtyard, but the house was not as dilapidated.

After much deliberation, to facilitate his wife’s eventual management of the shop, Lu Xiaoting chose the closer property, spending 1000 yuan.

Then he tirelessly contacted a construction crew to repair the house and also add a modern-style bathroom.

This would spare them the misery of freezing at the public toilets in winter or enduring the stench of feces after just a little while in summer.

His wife was tidy; whenever they were out, she generally avoided public toilets as much as she could.

The construction crew, five men in their forties, upon seeing the uniform of the authorities on the homeowner, worked meticulously and earnest.

Hearing that it was to welcome his wife and children, they completed the work without delay.

Lu Xiaoting took the time to inspect the property and was quite satisfied, giving each worker a small red envelope with an extra yuan.

The young man hurriedly called home followed by another round of tirelessly cleaning the new home, ensuring all household items like pots and pans were ready.

The next morning, Father Lu specially took leave from the factory, and the whole family, carrying their luggage, boarded the bus to the Provincial City.

Mrs. Lu, Lu Xiaogu, and Susu each had a child secured in their arms, while Father Lu and Su Sanya carried baskets and bags of various sizes.

People from those times were mostly simple and warmhearted; seeing the trio with children, many stood up to offer their seats.

Everyone on the bus curiously looked at the triplets.

“How come they all look so similar?”

Mrs. Lu, holding her grandson’s bottom, smiled, “They are triplets.”

“Oh wow, that’s really good fortune; I’ve only heard of twins but never seen them.”

“Indeed, now there are both grandsons and granddaughters.”

Right after getting on the bus, Susu loosened Lele and held him in her arms.

Luckily, the Provincial City wasn’t far away, and they arrived before the three siblings could even start crying.

No sooner had they arrived home than the second child, An’an, began to bawl, prompting Pingping and Lele to join in.

Su Sanya quickly prepared milk powder for her two nephews, while Father Lu stepped outside, walking in and out, surveying the courtyard and the house.

After getting the well-fed triplets to sleep, the family began to move around and inspect the place.

The three adults, along with Su Sanya, were gathered at the bathroom door, marveling at the bright and clean toilet inside.

“How do you use this toilet? Is this still a bathroom if it’s this clean?” Lu Xiaogu wondered.

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu had seen bathrooms in apartment buildings before, but it was their first time seeing such a toilet in a bungalow, and they were extremely intrigued.

Susu smiled and demonstrated how to use it for them.

Lu Xiaogu was the first to clap and express approval, “This toilet is great, not like the self-made toilets in the village that not only stink but also easily make you fall into the cesspit?”

“Our village’s Old Wang went to the toilet at night, didn’t step carefully, and fell directly into the cesspit. Luckily it was shallow, or he might have drowned.

The villagers had to help pull him out, nearly got everyone suffocated with the stench.”
