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

Chapter 187 A Failed Outing

Su Xiuer hopes everyone won't worry about her and can continue their picnic here.

The venomous snake that bit Su Xiuer has also been killed.

After seeing that she was indeed alright, Su Xiaoxiao put the wild pheasant into the pot and started simmering chicken soup.

Adding some small mushrooms along the way made it all very delicious. She also made fish soup; the fish was freshly caught, and fish soup is actually quite tasty, especially with the mushrooms. It was a surprisingly good meal, and everyone praised Su Xiaoxiao's excellent cooking skills.

Everyone thought that only Su Xiaoxiao had such skills, but Su Xiaoxiao said, "Actually, it's all because the ingredients are fresh. You see, I didn't bring any seasonings with me, yet I was able to make the food so delicious."

Although Su Xiuer is now limping, she is still very active.

"I want some chicken soup too."

She was busy drinking chicken soup and didn't look like she had just been bitten by a snake.

Qian Musheng enjoyed his drink quite a bit, and didn't forget to ask about Su Xiuer's health.

The two of them chatted back and forth, seemingly having a good conversation.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that this picnic was a mixed bag of joy and sorrow! She originally wanted to create an opportunity for Liu Qiaomei, but Su Xiuer beat her to it.

It's not Su Xiuer's fault; that's just her personality. Her overly flamboyant personality does bring her some good opportunities.

Everyone drank the soup and ate the rice balls that Su Xiaoxiao made. Su Xiaoxiao didn't make the exaggerated bomb-shaped rice balls that were on our table.

However, eating one or two rice balls was enough to fill you up. When Su Xiaoxiao saw that the pot of chicken soup was ready, she threw in some salt. Then, as soon as the lid of the earthenware pot was lifted, everyone immediately smelled a very delicious aroma of chicken soup, so rich and thick that it seemed to waft towards them.

Even Pei Yuan couldn't help but swallow hard; everyone was enjoying their meal immensely.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone helped Su Xiaoxiao go up the mountain to pick some bitter barley.

I also made some bitter barley water for Su Xiuer to drink, but Su Xiuer shook her head and said she didn't want to drink it.

"No, this bitter barley can reduce inflammation and clear away heat, which will help your wound."

Qian Musheng advised from the side, "Miss Su, you should listen to your cousin and drink it quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "I understand."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Qian Musheng. Now, Su Xiuer's eyes practically lit up with stars whenever she saw Qian Musheng.

Liu Qiaomei watched from the side, her lips pouting high.

But what could he do? Qian Musheng felt extremely guilty for not protecting Su Xiuer earlier, and now all he could think about was how to make it up to her. He helped Su Xiuer walk, checked on her from time to time, and sometimes even whispered a joke in her ear. Who could resist that?

No wonder Su Xiuer looks at Qian Musheng with starry eyes now. Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Let's end this picnic as soon as possible." She felt as if she had done something terrible on this picnic.

However, when she turned around, she could still see Pei Yuan staring at her from behind with a lovesick look on his face.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she was unsure which leg to take next.

Pei Yuan was surrounded by his two children, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and he never forgot to keep his eyes glued to her, which made Su Xiaoxiao feel both happy and a little burdened.

After all, how could your heart not race when someone looks at you with eyes like Hiroki Iijima's?

Su Xiaoxiao led everyone back home, and Qian Musheng left only after confirming once again that Su Xiuer was alright.

Back home, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she had wanted to make a cabinet a few days ago. She planned to have a double-door cabinet with carved openwork patterns. She needed to draw these designs and would ask Wang Er later to see if he could make them for her. Da Bao and Xiao Bao needed chairs and desks for studying, so Su Xiaoxiao decided to have those made in a modern style as well.

When we moved into our new house, all the furniture was old and outdated, and it looked out of place.

Although Su Xiaoxiao had never painted very complicated carvings before, she was quite satisfied with the ones she painted this time. The patterns were simple yet elegant.

This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had designed all the furniture in the room herself. She would pause slightly after each drawing until she had no problems before continuing to the next one.

Although she doesn't have a proper desk yet, Su Xiaoxiao is kneeling on a platform and starting to draw blueprints, but she knows she can definitely do it.

Pei Yuan came over and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What are you drawing?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "I'm drawing furniture. What kind of furniture do you want to have made? Tell me, and I'll draw it for you."

As Su Xiaoxiao drew, she looked around the area, and it seemed that she was very focused this time.

Su Xiaoxiao spent the entire afternoon drawing these blueprints, and finally finished as night fell.

Su Xiaoxiao let out a long breath and called Pei Yuan over.

"These are the tables, chairs, and cabinets that will be placed in your room. Do you like them?"

Su Xiaoxiao used her slender fingers to gently draw on the drawing for Pei Yuan to see.

Pei Yuan's face lit up with surprise, and he happily replied, "I like it."

Pei Yuan hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to go to such lengths to design the furniture for his room, and he had already begun to imagine what the furniture would look like.

Su Xiaoxiao was actually quite satisfied with the set of drawings she had designed today. So, after rolling them up, she said to Pei Yuan, "You keep them at home for now. I'm going out for a bit."

"It's already dark, where are you going?"

Pei Yuan asked, completely bewildered.

"I'm going to find Wang Er to see if he can make these pieces of furniture for me."

Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the home of Sun Shi and Wang Er and knocked on their door.

"Who?"

Mrs. Sun called out towards the door, "It's me!"

It was getting dark, and I didn't expect anyone else to come.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived, Sun and Wang Er naturally gave her a warm welcome.

They had just returned from a hike in the mountains today, and Mrs. Sun was excitedly preparing to thank Su Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, come in quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao showed Wang Er the blueprints she carried with her, "Brother Wang Er, these are the blueprints I drew. Can you see if you can make it?"

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she spread the entire set of blueprints on the table for Wang Er to see.

When Wang Er saw the blueprint, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed.
