It was after Li Su went to bed did she realise that Madam Qiao thought she was suspicious.
Li Su laughed.
This wasn’t a lie. 

But Madam Qiao could feel a difference.
The current Madam Qiao was very wise.
She must have found out that she wasn’t the original owner.
But, instead of pushing it, she showed trust. 

Because she knew that this home was inseparable from herself. 

When Li Su thought of this, she smiled.
Since Madam Qiao already knew, then she didn’t need to hide anything starting from tomorrow.
Everyone’s purpose was the same.
It was all for the children. 

Thinking of this, Li Su fell asleep peacefully. 

Li Su awoke at dawn the next day.
It wasn’t that she was eager to get up early, but that the 2-year-old Qiao Zhi next to her was mumbling that he wanted to pee. 

Li Su quickly picked him up, took off his pants, and then positioned him to face the chamber pot. 

When he finished, Li Su put her son back on the bed and patted his soft butt.
“It’s still early.
Go to bed.
Can I cook some congee for you?” 

Qiao Zhi didn’t speak.
He smiled at Li Su and sucked on his thumb. 

Li Su took his fingers out of his mouth.
She then wiped the corners of his mouth.
“No fingers allowed.
It’s unsightly.
Go to sleep first.
Mum will boil water.” 

Li Su quietly took out the lighter in front of the stove.
She lit the withered grass and shoved it into the stove.
She stoked the fire for more than an hour, but was unable to get it going.
Qiao Dashan came later to give her firewood.
When he saw her, he called his wife.
Dashan’s wife taught her how to get a fire going. 

Although Li Su could cook some simple meals, they were all using a gas stove.
This was the first time she would use an earthen stove.
The heat wasn’t controlled well, so she could only boil some congee and water.

Li Su first boiled a pot of water, then boiled 3 eggs in it.
Later, the family could use the water to wash up in the morning.
She didn’t have many eggs in the space.
There was no way to raise chickens in there.
Maybe she could raise them now.
The house next door had a few chickens.
Qiao Aiguo originally raised chickens, but the original owner was so greedy and ate them all. 

After boiling the water, Li Su began to cook the congee.
The congee was thick.
Li Su also cut a few slices of cured meat and put it in.
It was fragrant. 

Qiao Zhi was still lying on the bed and refused to get up.
When he smelled the congee, he yelled to get up.
Li Su hurried in to put his clothes on, then went to find Madam Qiao.
“Mother, are you up? It’s time for breakfast.” 

Madam Qiao was already awake and was reaching for her clothes.
She had worn it crookedly.
A few buttons were undone. 

Li Su sorted it out for Madam Qiao. 

Madam Qiao had complicated feelings.
She was even more certain that this was not her daughter-in-law.
Her daughter-in-law disliked her for being blind and said that she smelled.
Her daughter-in-law didn’t like getting close to her, so she would not tidy up her clothes. 

Li Su also smelled Madam Qiao’s body and didn’t have any abnormal reactions.
Madam Qiao had been blind for many years, so it was inconvenient for her to take a bath.
She only had one son, and she couldn’t count on the original owner.
She had never thought of helping her mother-in-law take a bath. 

“Today is a good day.
At noon, I will boil a pot of water and give mother a bath! Big Zhi should take a bath too,” Li Su said smoothly. 

Madam Qiao held back the sting in her eyes.
If this lonely ghost had taken over her daughter-in-law’s body earlier, her family would not have died. 

Li Su poured hot water and waited for Madam Qiao to rinse her mouth and wash her face first.
Then, she brought her son over and told him to clean up.
There was only one toothbrush at home that Qiao Aiguo used all his efforts to get for LI Su.
She didn’t have the habit of sharing a toothbrush, so she could only use a damp washcloth to wipe her son’s teeth. 

After washing up, the congee was almost ready.
Li Su thought that it would be good to buy a few more toothbrushes when she returned. 

Speaking of this, Li Su also felt a little emotional.
Qiao Aiguo really loved the original owner.
In a family like the Qiao family, the original owner not only had a toothbrush and toothpaste, but also a box of make-up.
It was a pity that the original owner did not know how to cherish it.

Li Su sighed.
She first gave Madam Qiao and her son a bowl of meat congee.
After she thought about it, she prepared another bowl and added some slices of meat to it.
“Mother, you and Big Zhi should eat first.
I will send a bowl to Dashan’s wife.
By the way, I wanted to ask Dashan’s wife if I can bring back a few chicks to raise.” 

Madam Qiao nodded.
“Okay, take care.” 

Li Su went next door with the bowl.
Qiao Dashan’s family was also eating breakfast, corn flatbread1.
When Dashan’s wife saw Li Su coming over, she hurriedly asked Li Su to sit down so they could eat together, but Li Su refused.
“There is bacon porridge at home and I wanted to give a bowl to my sister-in-law.
I also wanted to ask my sister-in-law if I could bring a few chicks home.” 

Qiao Dashan’s parents were there and were a little unhappy when they heard this.
They could eat meat porridge for breakfast? What was this? But, they found it hard to say anything.
They were afraid of offending Aiguo’s wife.
If Aiguo’s wife turned around and ran away, then what would Madam Qiao and the child do? “Bring them back and let your mother-in-law and Big Zhi eat more.” 

Dashan’s wife also declined. 

Several of Qiao Dashan’s children had already smelled the meat.
The corn flatbreads in their mouths suddenly lost their taste and they all stared at the meat congee.
When they heard what grandpa said, the several children looked pitiful and did not dare to cry. 

When Li Su saw this, she smiled.
“I still have food at home.
Sister-in-law, I’ll head back first.
I’m asking this of you, so it would be good if you can help me.” She put down the bowl and quickly left. 

Dashan’s wife didn’t dare to pull on Li Su as Li Su was pregnant.
She watched Li Su go, then turned to look at her in-laws. 

When Dashan’s wife saw her father-in-law nod, she was relieved.
“Father, mother, you should eat it.” 

The old man exclaimed, “The children should eat it!” 

Dashan’s wife had no choice but to give the children a few pieces of bacon.
One piece of bacon was given to each of them until just 1 piece remained.
Dashan’s wife wanted to give it to her father-in-law, but the old man’s eyes widened.
“I will not eat it.
Give it to your man.” 

Dashan’s wife gave the last piece of meat to Qiao Dashan.
Qiao Dashan took a bite, then stuffed the remaining meat into her mouth while his parents weren’t paying attention. 

Dashan’s wife glanced at her husband.
Her mouth was full of meat and her heart felt sweet.

When Li Su returned, Madam Qiao and Big Zhi had already finished their bowls of congee.
Big Zi held up his empty bowl and shouted for more.
Li Su hurriedly served another bowl of congee for the two of them. 

Madam Qiao pushed her bowl away.
“I’m not hungry.
You eat!” 

“Mother, you should eat.
There’s still some in the pot!” Li Su turned around and filled a bowl of congee for herself.
She remembered that she still had a bag of flour in her space, so she could make some noodles or steamed buns.
She couldn’t eat congee every day!  

“Mother, do you know how to make steamed buns? If you do, please teach me how to tomorrow morning,” Li Su said happily.
Steamed buns were delicious.
If she wanted to eat them, then she would. 

Madam Qiao was expressionless.
How could this thing live like that? She ate meat porridge and rice every day, and now she wanted to eat steamed buns?  

Before the little chicks came, the 3rd letter from Li Su’s parents arrived.
In the letter, they first scolded Li Su for betraying their hard work.
They claimed that, if Li Su didn’t return, they would cut off all ties with her. 

Then, they started to feel soft again, saying that the family would introduce her to a man with excellent specs.
They would be waiting for her to come back for a blind date.
If Li Su went back, then she would be able to live a grand life in the future. 

At the end, they threatened Li Su again.
This would be the last chance they gave her, so she must think over things carefully. 

Li Su finished reading the letter with a blank expression.
She then set it on fire and didn’t even think about replying. 

The Li family waited for more than half a month for a reply.
They didn’t receive a letter, so they were filled with anger! 

“Why is third girl so confused?!” Mother Li said angrily.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with her!” 

Father Li was also displeased.
“She is so ignorant.
She isn’t the only daughter in the Li family.
Hurry up and write a letter to ask second girl to come back!”

The eldest brother in the Li family hesitated.
“Is second younger sister okay? She isn’t as beautiful as third younger sister!” 

“It doesn’t matter.
Although second girl doesn’t look as good as third girl, she will have to do.
Lu Wei is a soldier, so he should like second girl.” 

The eldest brother of the Li family was a little reluctant.
Third younger sister may provide less troubles than second younger sister, but second younger sister was more thoughtful and wasn’t as easy to control as third younger sister.
If it really went this way, then they might not be able to get benefits.
But, in the current situation, there was no other candidate than second younger sister.
The eldest sister was ugly and stupid.
It was not good to count on her rather than second younger sister. 

A month later, Li Su received a letter from the Li family again that informed her that second younger sister married into the compound and became the wife of the regimental commander. 

This letter was to show off to Li Su and make her regret it. 

Li Su read the letter and frowned.
Li Su didn’t end up marrying Lu Wei in this life, but Lu Wei still married a daughter of the Li family.
Was this something that couldn’t be avoided in the plot? So, Lu Wei would still have a daughter named Lu Mingzhu? Would this Lu Mingzhu still have a kidney disease? 

Did she still have to make her son donate a kidney to Lu Mingzhu after all? 

Li Su’s gaze could set the letter on fire.
Madam Qiao was sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun.
When Madam Qiao found that Li Su was silent for a long time, she was a little anxious.
“What’s wrong?” 

Li Su shredded the letter a few times and threw it aside.
“It’s nothing.” She then picked up Qiao Zhi, who was playing with ants.
“Son, remember your maternal grandparents are not good people.
No matter what they say in the future, don’t believe them!” 

Qiao Zhi looked at Li Su with ignorance and grinned. 

Madam Qiao, who was listening from the side, looked thoughtful.
