Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family-Chapter 709 - Siblings Talk

709 Siblings Talk

Su Chong said, “Chu Jin is a good person. Shou will be promising if he follows him.”

Su Xiaolu thought of Chu Jin. She chuckled and said, “Brother, is Chu Jin’s sister not married yet?”

Su Chong nodded. “Yes, it hasn’t been decided yet. I heard from Chu Jin that his mother is very worried about his sister’s marriage.”

Su Chong knew a lot about the Chu family. He was close to Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng. The three of them would drink together when they had nothing to do. They would also talk about the matters of their families while drinking and chatting. They more or less knew a little about these family matters.

Su Xiaolu held back her laughter and said, “This time, he brought Cousin Changshou along and said that he wanted to show his sister to him. If the two of them are fated, he will be the Chu family’s son-in-law.”

“Pfft… No way.”

Su Chong couldn’t help but laugh. However, he touched his head and said, “However, this is indeed something Chu Jin would do. His parents have a good relationship, and Chu Jin only has one sister. Chu Jin is a man who takes after his father and his sister takes after his mother, so they all want to find a good husband for her. His mother has been carefully choosing.”

“General Chu has a straightforward personality. If he thinks highly of Shou, his future will be good. As for him and Chu Li, that will depend on fate.”

Su Hua smiled faintly. Relationships were the most unpredictable.

No one knew where the thread of fate would lead.

“Has Chu Jin’s marriage been decided?”

Su Hua looked at Su Chong.

“It’s settled. He’s going to get married before the new year. She’s the daughter of Lord Yuan in the Ministry of Revenue. I think her name is Yuan Yuan. At the beginning of this year, Chu Jin even told me that Yuan Yuan has a docile personality and will definitely be able to be his matriarch in the future. She’s magnanimous.”

Chu Jin was about to get married. He had been waiting to take in a few more beautiful concubines after he got married.

What Chu Jin said was that he would definitely take in a few more concubines in the future, but he would never dote on concubines and neglect the legitimate wife. Therefore, he had to get married first and let his wife choose concubines for him. Only then would the harem be peaceful.

As he thought about it, Su Chong couldn’t help but shake his head and find it funny.

Su Hua smiled. “Then we have to prepare the congratulatory gift as soon as possible.”

It was good that Chu Jin was getting married.

Su Hua looked away from Su Xiaolu. He was really afraid that Chu Jin would have feelings for Su Xiaolu.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Xiaolu, you should rest.”

Su Hua stood up and prepared to return to his room.

Su Chong also stood up. “I’ll go back too. The little guy gets restless at night. Yaoyao can’t handle him alone.”

Su Chong thought of Lin Yaoyao and the child and his expression softened. He wanted to show off.

Su Hua glanced at Su Chong and said with a smile, “Poor Brother, I pity you. Fortunately, I don’t have a child yet. I can still live comfortably for a few more years.”

With that, Su Hua also left without looking back. A brisk laughter, and they understood the meaning behind his words.

Su Chong scratched his head and turned to Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, look at your second brother. That was not what I meant just now.”

Su Xiaolu held back her laughter and nodded sympathetically. “Brother, I know. Go back and help Sister-in-law take care of the children.”

Her second brother had always been smarter and more scheming.

Su Hua had thousands of schemes.

Su Chong probably only had one.

Su Chong smiled happily and said, “Then Big Brother will go back first.”

Su Xiaolu closed the door and went back to bed.

Originally, she was sleepy when she left the palace, but after returning home, she was no longer sleepy. Now, she didn’t want to sleep even more.

She might as well release Mantis Shrimp and pinch its chubby little claws.

Mantis Shrimp rested its head on Su Xiaolu’s stomach and closed its eyes in enjoyment. Its cute voice was transmitted through Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, Xiaolu, you have to pinch my hind feet too. You can’t favor one over the other.”

Su Xiaolu touched the Mantis Shrimp’s glossy fur and pinched its feet. Su Xiaolu suddenly felt that the Mantis Shrimp was actually like her cub.

“Mantis Shrimp, will you be able to shapeshift when you grow up?”

Su Xiaolu asked curiously.

“Yes, but I don’t like it. We prefer our original appearance. It’s very inconvenient for us to take human form. We’re not used to walking on two feet. Moreover, humans not good-looking and are troublesome. Young people cause trouble. They annoy people when they’re old, and children are despised. They’re not like us beasts. We’re cute when we’re young, strong in out adolescence, and bold and domineering when we grow up. Then, we’ll always be bold and domineering. We’ll only become weak when we have to give birth to the next generation. However, at that time, we’ll still be covered in treasures.”

Mantis Shrimp didn’t like shapeshifting. From the memories he inherited, shapeshifting had no benefits at all. Their original appearance was better.

When they were young, if they wanted to eat, they could just act cute and someone would be willing to feed them.

When they grew up, they would be powerful and domineering. Everyone wanted them.

Even when they’re old and weak, they were still treasures that everyone wanted.

It was popular to begin with. Why did it have to become such complicated and unlikable humans?

“Hmm… Although I think it’s strange, I also think it makes sense.”

Mantis Shrimp’s words sounded a little strange, but there was no fault in its logic. Su Xiaolu was speechless.

Alright, beasts and humans each had their own ambitions.

Mantis Shrimp could take human form, but it didn’t like to take human form, so she wouldn’t force it.

Mantis Shrimp rubbed against Su Xiaolu’s palm and said to her cutely, “Xiaolu, don’t worry. If you need me to take human form in the future, I’ll definitely cooperate with you. We’re good friends. Best friends will definitely help each other.”

It did not like to take human form, but when Su Xiaolu needed it, it would not hesitate to take human form.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, thank you, Mantis Shrimp.”

“Yes, Xiaolu, can you pinch my foot again? It’s so comfortable.”

Mantis Shrimp pressed its head against Su Xiaolu’s palm.

Su Xiaolu pinched the limbs of the Mantis Shrimp and gradually felt sleepy.

...

After Su Xiaolu fell asleep, Mantis Shrimp slept next to her.

What it did not tell Su Xiaolu was that it could actually take human form now. Because of Su Xiaolu, its trajectory of growth was different from all the Guardian Beasts before it, so what its ancestors had passed down was not very useful to it.

It turned into a baby and moved its limbs. It did not feel agile at all. It returned to its original form in disdain. Human babies could not walk at all. It was even difficult for them to turn around. Beast form was better. 𝙛𝓇𝘦e𝙬𝑒𝚋𝒏૦ѵel. c𝒐𝚖

It was a dreamless night. When Su Xiaolu woke up the next day, Su Chong and Su Hua went to court.

Lin Yaoyao went to the academy to teach. There were many female disciples under her name.

Sun Baoqian had her own shop to run, and she was not idle during the day. Madam Zhao brought the children along to work at ‘Yu Jing Hong’. With Chen Hu, Madam Qian, and Su Sanlang around, it was enough. Su Xiaolu accompanied Madam Zhao to see the children and chat with her.

Madam Zhao told Su Xiaolu many small things. Madam Zhao’s eyes also lit up with pride. She stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair. “Xiaolu, if we can be chosen to serve imperial dishes, our income will increase tenfold. This year, your Uncle Hu and Auntie are working hard for this. Your father is also working hard like a young man.”

Su Xiaolu leaned against Madam Zhao and smiled sweetly. “Father, Mother, Uncle Hu, and Auntie are really amazing.”
