After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 106 Granny Liu Gets Tricked

The pork chop was grilled to a golden brown and crispy perfection, sizzling with oil. With the help of the five-spice powder, the pork chop was made incredibly fragrant and delicious.

The courtyard was filled with a wonderful fragrance that wafted far and wide.

The two children looked at Su Xiaoxiao pitifully. Su Xiaoxiao quickly took out a plate of fried pork chops from the pot, blew on them to cool them down, and then handed them to the children.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao had never eaten wild boar ribs before, and they were so engrossed in eating that they forgot all about it. When Su Xiaoxiao asked them if it was delicious, the two children didn't react for a long time.

Looking at their oily lips, Su Xiaoxiao genuinely found the two kids rather cute.

Su Xiaoxiao gave another piece to Sanlang. Sanlang had never eaten wild boar choy cooked like this before. He saw that the wild boar choy was fried to a golden brown and crispy, and it looked very appetizing. He couldn't help but start drooling.

"Eat this dried radish; it will help cut through the greasiness."

Su Xiaoxiao then took the pork chops off the grill, which were now almost cooked.

Su Xiaoxiao took down a pork chop and brought it to everyone.

"How about it? Try this roasted pork chop again."

Saburo was very obedient. Even though the pork chop was a little charred, he still obediently picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

Su Xiaoxiao saw his eyes light up. When Sanlang took a bite, it felt like the crispy outer shell burst open in his mouth. The roasted pork chop was incredibly tender, and he could taste the juices oozing out. It was simply a feast for the taste buds. After taking one bite, Sanlang couldn't stop eating.

Su Xiaoxiao realized that she didn't even need to ask; she figured the roasted pork chop had already won over Sanlang himself.

What kind of dish is this?

Even with his mouth full of meat, Sanlang couldn't stop asking Su Xiaoxiao questions.

"This is roasted pork chop. How was your meal?"

"Xiaoxiao, you are really amazing. You are a great cook, you are good at everything, you are practically flawless."

Saburo gave a thumbs-up and praised.

The two kids over there were eating fried pork chops, and their mouths were covered in oil.

The children enjoyed the meal, which put Su Xiaoxiao at ease; the dish hadn't been made in vain.

They had a very enjoyable dinner, and Su Xiaoxiao only realized it was almost midnight after she finished cleaning up.

This was the first time she had stayed up all night since she transmigrated. She was just about to finish tidying up and go back to her room to sleep when she suddenly heard a series of light footsteps in the yard, as well as the sound of a shaman breaking a tree branch. Could someone have come in to steal something?
It was late at night, and Su Xiaoxiao didn't call Sanlang. That guy was probably even more scared than she was.

She quietly went out of the house and went to the wall of her yard, crouching down to listen to the sounds outside.

The moon is not bright tonight; not even a shadow can be cast on the ground.

Perhaps Su Xiaoxiao's eyes have now adapted to the darkness, because she can now clearly see who is outside.

Unexpectedly, it was Granny Liu, who was holding a torch in her hand. Needless to say, she had come to set herself on fire and burn herself to death.

Ever since Liu Dazhuang was sentenced, Granny Liu has harbored resentment towards Su Xiaoxiao and doesn't know how to get revenge.

However, Granny Liu was also hesitant. She knew that if she set fire to someone's house and killed them, she would probably be sentenced to a more severe punishment.

Grandma Liu held a torch in her hand, pondering whether or not to set the fire.
Su Xiaoxiao took one look and sneered inwardly.

She spoke directly, "You and Liu Dazhuang are really family. Is arson all you know? Don't you have any other tricks?" Granny Liu was feeling guilty for doing something wrong and was hesitating whether to set a fire when she was suddenly startled by this voice and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, the torch in her hand fell to the ground, and sparks landed on her trouser leg, which immediately caught fire.

Grandma Liu was so frightened that she kept stomping on her trouser legs to put out the fire, and she finally managed to extinguish it.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief.

The angry old woman turned to glare fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao, as if the sparks she had accidentally gotten on her were all Su Xiaoxiao's fault.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao stared coldly at her, "What's wrong? Are you still trying to blame me? This is called harming others as if you were harming yourself, you know? You deserve it!"

"You, Su Xiaoxiao, don't get too cocky. Sooner or later, God will take your place!"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered, "I don't know if I'll take you in or not, but God will definitely take you away first, you scourge."

Holding a few stones in her hand, Su Xiaoxiao leaned over the wall of their house and started hitting Grandma Liu.

The first blow landed on Granny Liu's forehead, and a large bump immediately appeared.

Grandma Liu angrily shouted, "Su Xiaoxiao, are you playing dirty tricks?"

Su Xiaoxiao grinned at her and said, "Which of us played dirty tricks? You stayed up all night and set fire to our house. Do you think I wouldn't throw stones at you?"

After saying that, the second stone hit Grandma Liu's right shoulder, and it hurt quite a bit.

Su Xiaoxiao applied considerable force, tearing open the clothes on Grandma Liu's shoulder and leaving a deep gash.

"My shoulder..." Granny Liu roared, "Su Xiaoxiao, you widow..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened. She jumped down from the wall and landed in front of Granny Liu.

Grandma Liu was so frightened that she quickly backed away, asking, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm not doing anything wrong, I just want to teach you a lesson this time, I can't let you off so easily!"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "This will teach you a lesson so you won't come looking for trouble again next time."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that she only discovered it because they had gone to bed late this time.

What if she doesn't notice next time? Wouldn't the whole family have been burned to death by Granny Liu's arson? We absolutely cannot let her off easily this time.

It was the middle of the night and no one could see her, so Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked up to Granny Liu. In the darkness, her face gradually magnified in Granny Liu's eyes, looking somewhat ferocious.

Grandma Liu staggered backward, too frightened to speak.

The next morning, the people who got up early to work in the fields discovered that there was an object that looked like a person hanging on the big locust tree at the entrance of their village.

He was completely still. At first, he thought he had seen someone hang themselves there, but when he got closer, he saw that the person was whimpering and calling for help.

Her mouth was stuffed with a sock, so she couldn't speak. The man quickly lowered her down from the tree.

Only then did I realize that it was none other than Granny Liu.

Grandma Liu was in a terrible state; her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn on her shoulders revealing a wound, and she had a large, purplish-red bump the size of an egg on her forehead. Grandma Liu was somewhat delirious; anyone hanging there for a night would probably be driven mad by the torment.
