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

Chapter 134 Moving into the New House
While everyone was praising Su Xiaoxiao for being capable, Grandma Liu was unusually jealous.

But the land where the house was built wasn't her son Liu Xiaoshu's territory, so she had no say in it.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's spacious and grand house, which made one feel as if they had entered a palace, Granny Liu's feelings at this moment were beyond description, even to the point of being jealous.

Mr. Li from Ci'an Hall even sent his apprentice to congratulate Su Xiaoxiao, bringing her an exquisite ceramic vase that looked incredibly valuable. If it were in the era Su Xiaoxiao traveled to, it would definitely be a priceless antique.

Su Xiaoxiao also loved it so much that she thought to herself that if she could travel back in time, she would definitely take this vase with her and make it her family's heirloom.

Su Xiaoxiao politely accepted the antique vase from the medicine boy and thanked him repeatedly.

The villagers were all wondering what was going on and were talking about it. It was Mr. Li from Ci'an Hall who sent the vase to Su Xiaoxiao, which suggested that their relationship was unusual.

Su Xiaoxiao returned jam to everyone who came to congratulate her today, regardless of whether they brought gifts or not.

For a luxury like jam, poor families generally couldn't afford it, because in those days, even regular meals were often insufficient, let alone sweets.

Since everyone is a guest, regardless of any previous conflicts, Su Xiaoxiao decided to hurry to the kitchen to see if the chef from Baxianlou had prepared the dishes for today.

The cold dishes are mostly ready now, but the hot dishes are not yet finished.

Grandma Wang came over to congratulate them, holding her little granddaughter. When Su Xiaoxiao saw that Grandma Wang's granddaughter had grown up to be fair and chubby, and that the family looked happy and harmonious, Su Xiaoxiao was genuinely happy for them.

"Thank you all for your concern. In fact, I am grateful for your careful care during this period, which has enabled me to build a new house. Now our jam business is also on the right track, which is really thanks to everyone's concern. If anyone in our village needs any help today, I, Su Xiaoxiao, will do my best to help everyone."

After hearing this, everyone started clapping, led by the village head. The village head also helped Su Xiaoxiao greet everyone, saying, "Everyone, don't be shy. Today, Su Xiaoxiao is treating us. It's our honor to be able to eat the dishes prepared by the master chef of Baxianlou!"

Before the meal even started, everyone could smell the delicious aroma of the food, but what was served first was a plate of bright green vegetables on each table.

The villagers below were gossiping, "No way, is Su Xiaoxiao really this stingy when she's treating? I thought it was going to be meat dishes, but it looks like cabbage. We all have cabbage, don't we eat it every day?"

"Yeah, how dare she serve such lush green vegetables?"

"Yes, look how beautifully her house is built. I never expected her to be so stingy when she hosted a housewarming party."

"Really stingy."

The people whispering below were saying all sorts of things.

The village headman, seeing this, quickly whispered to everyone below, "Don't talk so soon, let's continue watching."

Finally, everyone discovered that the dish was actually pork cubes wrapped in fresh cabbage leaves. The pink pork cubes were very flavorful and meaty, and the combination with the crisp cabbage made it not greasy at all and quite refreshing.

"This dish is called Jadeite Rolls, and everyone is welcome to try it. Actually, it symbolizes that everyone who eats it will be promoted and become wealthy."

Upon hearing this, the villagers were surprised to find that the meaning was quite auspicious, and they found the food even more delicious.

"Moreover, our chef uses new soy sauce. Using new soy sauce in this dish brings out the umami flavor to its fullest," Su Xiaoxiao explained enthusiastically.

The dishes that followed were all from the Baxianlou restaurant. These rural people had never eaten such delicious food before, so they ate to their hearts' content, drinking and laughing heartily, creating a lively atmosphere.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately recognized the effect she wanted.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, a discordant sound rang out. The extremely shrill sound seemed to echo through the heavens, clearly audible even from a great distance in this large courtyard. It was a sound that seemed inhuman.

Everyone looked towards Su Xiaoxiao's front door. "What's going on? Did you hear that?"

"Yes, someone is calling out."

Through the crowd, Su Xiaoxiao saw a disheveled woman standing in front of her house, looking like a madwoman.

Everyone was immersed in laughter and joy, and no one noticed that there was a woman with such disheveled hair standing in front of the door. When everyone realized what was happening, they saw that it was Grandma Liu.

Su Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law is a troublemaker who tries to sell her daughter-in-law and grandson every day. She's an incredibly annoying character.

Now, almost no one stands on Granny Liu's side anymore. They think Granny Liu just comes here to cause trouble for no reason. She likes to spread rumors and talks all day about how bad her daughter-in-law, Su Xiaoxiao, is. All sorts of nasty rumors come from her mouth.

At first, people would chime in and agree, but over time, no one knew whether those rumors were credible or not, and there was no way to verify them. Who would listen to such rumors all the time?
Su Xiaoxiao quietly began to accomplish great things, such as building a jam workshop or seeking benefits for everyone. Su Xiaoxiao did practical things for everyone, and these were all good things that could benefit everyone.

Of course, this matter is beneficial to everyone and has generated considerable profits.

People naturally began to find Granny Liu, who was always complaining and saying unfounded bad things about Su Xiaoxiao, very annoying.

Grandma Liu started yelling, "You damned brat, get out here right now, or I'll beat you to death!"

The villagers all shook their heads. Granny Liu didn't know when to stop cursing. Today was someone's housewarming party, such an important event, and she came to cause trouble. What kind of behavior was this?

Su Xiaoxiao remained calm. Qian Musheng came over and asked Su Xiaoxiao if she needed help.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that it wasn't necessary and that she could handle it herself.

Su Xiaoxiao walked confidently to the front door and said very politely to Granny Liu, "Since you're here, why don't you come in and have a drink of wedding wine before you leave? You must be hoarse from all the cursing here."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu rolled her eyes in anger. "What, what are you saying? You want to invite me into the house for a wedding banquet?"

Grandma Liu really didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao would turn around and start arguing back, which might have even led to a physical fight.

That's how she managed to ruin Su Xiaoxiao's move into her new house, but she was wrong.
