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

Chapter 107 Granny Liu Makes a Fool of Herself in the Village

The man quickly went to find Granny Liu's family. Her son, Liu Dazhuang, had been arrested, but Granny Liu's daughter-in-law, Li Dongmei, was still at home.

"Dongmei, something has happened to your mother-in-law. You should go to the village entrance to check on her."

Li Dongmei quickly took the child and ran to the village entrance, only to find Grandma Liu lying under a tree with a sock stuffed in her mouth and strips of cloth tied around her body, making it impossible for her to move.

Seeing her mother-in-law so humiliated, Li Dongmei really didn't want to go up and help, but what could she do?

Everyone around was watching her. She hadn't gone home all night. Where had her mother-in-law gone? Unexpectedly, she was found hanging from the big locust tree at the village entrance.

Even her daughter-in-law felt extremely ashamed, and the surrounding villagers were all gossiping, saying that this old woman really had a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

Li Dongmei had no choice but to rush over and cut the strips of cloth off her mother-in-law's body.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

Li Dongmei pretended to be very concerned, but in reality, she wished she could sever ties with Granny Liu and pretend she didn't know her at all.

After the rope was untied, Grandma Liu was able to take the sock out of her mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao is such a wicked person. Not only did she stuff in Granny Liu's socks, but she also stuffed in her own and Sanlang's smelly socks. If Granny Liu doesn't come to save her soon, she'll probably suffocate to death.

Even if they don't suffocate, they'll probably be suffocated by the smell of the socks.

"Grandma, what happened to you?"

At this moment, Li Dongmei whispered a question to Grandma Liu.

"Me? Sigh, don't even mention it. It was all Su Xiaoxiao's doing."

Grandma Liu was also in a very confused state of mind, but she had no other way to deal with Su Xiaoxiao. After this commotion, she was a little afraid of Su Xiaoxiao.

She was stunned when Su Xiaoxiao carried her up the tree last night.

Su Xiaoxiao actually has such great abilities, but upon reflection, it seems to make sense.

If Su Xiaoxiao were to carry a wild boar, it would weigh over 200 jin (100 kg). Grandma Liu, at most, only weighs a little over 100 jin (50 kg). Wouldn't that be an easy sum of two?

If Su Xiaoxiao had hung herself from a tree last night, then Grandma Liu really wouldn't have seen the sunrise this morning.

There was no one around last night. If Su Xiaoxiao were really that bad, Granny Liu would have died a thousand times over.

She now feels both fear and hatred towards Su Xiaoxiao, but fear outweighs the fear. She's hesitant to provoke Su Xiaoxiao, fearing for her life.

Grandma Liu had no choice but to say to Li Dongmei, "Let's go home."

Li Dongmei then asked, "Mother-in-law, aren't we going to confront Su Xiaoxiao?"

"What are you looking for? Let's go home and talk about it. I haven't slept all night hanging from this tree."

Grandma Liu had lost her previous arrogance and, with Li Dongmei's help, slunk home.

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't come to join in the fun, she had heard her neighbors talking about it.

She felt a great sense of satisfaction, even though this seemed to have taught Granny Liu a rather harsh lesson. She believed it served as a wake-up call for Granny Liu, at least keeping her quiet for a while. Thinking this, Su Xiaoxiao decided to hurry up and make breakfast.

She decided to use the spices provided by Qian Musheng Baxianlou to make a stir-fried cabbage, tofu puffs, and an egg and persimmon soup for Sanlang and the children.

Last night's fried pork chop and roasted pork chop meal really made Su Xiaoxiao and the kids feel so hot and bothered.

Eating too much of these things really does cause internal heat. I need to eat something light this morning to detox.

So Su Xiaoxiao didn't even put any meat in it. Sanlang got up and asked Su Xiaoxiao.

"When did our family start eating such bland food?"

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the children all looked surprised. "Is this still considered bland?"

Su Xiaoxiao also looked surprised, "Dabao and Xiaobao, don't forget the hard times we had before! Have you forgotten when all we had were wild vegetables and cornmeal porridge? This morning, we only cooked vegetables without meat and ate white flour buns, and you're already complaining. That's too much!"

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao was just joking when Sanlang, Dabao, and Xiaobao quickly came over and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao, pleading, "We didn't do that... how could that be?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said to them, "You'll know once you try it. I used the seasoning from Baxianlou for our family, so it will definitely taste different."

Saburo picked up a piece of tofu puff and put it in his mouth. The next second, he paused his chewing motion slightly. Was that really made from tofu?
Su Xiaoxiao saw Sanlang glance at the tofu puffs and look incredulous.

"Did you make this using the spices from Baxianlou? The taste is a bit different from tofu. Although there is no meat in it, it has a very strong meaty aroma."

Su Xiaoxiao was very pleased and asked Sanlang to pick up another piece of cabbage. To Sanlang's surprise, after picking up a piece of cabbage, he discovered that the cabbage tasted the same, with the aroma of meat.

Saburo, acting as a gourmet, exclaimed, "It really does taste fresh and delicious; it seems quite different from the stir-fried cabbage I usually eat."

"How about it?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Sanlang gave Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up and said, "Delicious! You are truly intelligent and kind-hearted."

Su Xiaoxiao never expected to hear such elegant words from Sanlang's mouth. Now she began to feel that she had really found the right person.

It's one thing to be handsome like Hiroki Iijima, but the key is that you're also so good at talking. If I, Su Xiaoxiao, don't love you, who else would I love?
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly found Sanlang incredibly cute and wanted to rush up, hug him tightly, and give him a big kiss.

But no, Su Xiaoxiao is too proud to do that.

After the meal, no one complained anymore that Su Xiaoxiao hadn't put meat in her cooking. Instead, they felt that even without meat, she could still make the dishes taste like meat, which was the greatest skill a cook could possess.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to go to the jam workshop, Sun Shi came in from outside. Su Xiaoxiao thought it was about the jam workshop, but she didn't expect it to be the busy farming season. Everyone was going home to harvest the crops, and she hoped that Su Xiaoxiao could give everyone a few days off.

Su Xiaoxiao then realized that all these people's families owned land, while Su Xiaoxiao's family did not farm, which was why she had no such concerns.

Of course she had to grant him leave, and Su Xiaoxiao even brought wild boar meat as a perk for everyone.

It just so happened that Liu Zian's private school was also on holiday, so Su Xiaoxiao thought she might as well take the opportunity to invite him over for a meal.

She also invited that poor little peach blossom over, and Su Xiaoxiao finally decided to have hot pot.
