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

Chapter 269 The Northern Wild Goose Intimidates Granny Liu

The woman bowed slightly and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you! Our benefactor. We are so grateful to you."

Su Xiaoxiao asked Li Shun, "What illness does your wife have? She looks quite ill."

Li Shun sighed and then replied, "She just has a cough, and sometimes it gets so bad that she coughs up blood. We don't have the money to see a doctor, so we just got her some medicine."

Su Xiaoxiao was very upset after learning about this.

She didn't know why there were so many poor people in the world; this problem has existed from ancient times to the present.

Sometimes she just couldn't understand why those rich people, even as they became richer, still relentlessly amassed wealth, endlessly until they finally breathed their last.

He owns several villas but has never lived in them for a single day, yet he still insists on owning them; he can't live without them. This obsession continues until his death. Even more terrifying is that he has no descendants. You could say he's working for the well-being of his offspring, and that would be one thing.

But how much is too much? Those poor people will only become poorer because of this.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately took out five taels of silver and handed it to Li Shun: "Take this money to see a doctor first, and use the rest of the money to buy Li Shun some good food."

At this moment, Li Shun also became a little uneasy. Although he was dull-witted, he had always been very principled.

"This, this won't do. My benefactor, you should..."

Before he could say anything more, Su Xiaoxiao said directly, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao left the money and food to this poor family. Li Taibai was so moved that he called out from behind Su Xiaoxiao, "Benefactor, we still don't know your name!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and waved behind her, without replying.

Doing good deeds anonymously is a way to accumulate good karma for yourself, as it helps others.

However, doing good deeds does indeed bring a very pleasant feeling, makes people happy, and even makes them feel like a completely different person.

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood the reason.

She felt much lighter and got back into the carriage, driving it with Su Xiuer towards the town.

It was almost noon by then, and Su Xiuer knew that her cousin was doing a good deed.

Su Xiuer sighed.

"There are so many poor people in the world, can you help them all? Cousin, sometimes I really don't understand you."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "I really can't help everyone. Even if I had the heart, I don't have that much ability. But since I've encountered this situation, I definitely won't stand idly by. I'll help as many as I can. In my limited life, I'll do as many kind things as possible, and that will make my life meaningful."

At this moment, Su Xiuer stared blankly at Su Xiaoxiao as she finished speaking, looking at her as if she were looking at an alien.

Finally, she gave Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up with a helpless expression, "Cousin, you... well, I just can't understand you."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't continue the conversation, thinking to herself, "I'm doing my good deed, why should I need your understanding?"

The two of them arrived in town together. After finishing her own business, Su Xiaoxiao thought about steaming some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) the next morning and sending some to Li Taibai's family.

After making the soup dumplings in the morning, Su Xiaoxiao also made some porridge and pickled some vegetables, which could be eaten with the porridge.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and put the steamed dumplings into a food box. Pei Yuan was puzzled. "Are you taking your lunch to a restaurant? Didn't I tell you this morning that I'd treat you to lunch at Baxianlou Restaurant today?"

Su Xiaoxiao said to Pei Yuan, "No, this is a gift for someone else. Their family is struggling financially, and I'm just trying to help in any way I can."

Su Xiaoxiao recounted what had happened yesterday to Pei Yuan. After listening, Pei Yuan said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I never expected you to be so kind. I definitely didn't choose the wrong wife!"

Su Xiaoxiao glared at him reproachfully, "Who's your wife! You're dreaming."

Pei Yuan didn't care about anything else and rushed to Su Xiaoxiao's side, only to hear another knock on the door.

The knocking grew louder and louder, accompanied by wailing and sobbing, as if the person had suffered a great injustice.

Su Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned cold, and Pei Yuan quickly released her.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a question on his face.

But Su Xiaoxiao was already used to it and didn't even need to think about who was making a scene for her outside the door.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Every time my family is having a peaceful time, Grandma Liu comes out and adds drama to her life."

The sobbing outside the door turned into cursing, "Su Xiaoxiao, you unfilial child, you will die a horrible death, and you will definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell after you die."

What could Su Xiaoxiao do against such venomous curses? Of course, she knew she had a clear conscience, and this time Su Xiaoxiao wasn't going to bother with that crazy old woman, Granny Liu.

From a modern perspective, Grandma Liu was actually in a somewhat mentally unstable state, which is understandable.

Su Xiaoxiao continued packing xiaolongbao into the food box. Pei Yuan asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Who is this? It sounds like your mother-in-law's voice. Why is she scolding you?"

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao also wanted to know why. "It's her. Who knows what she's up to this morning?"

Su Xiaoxiao remained calm and continued with her own business, paying no further attention.

However, there are always people who don't buy into Granny Liu's act. It's true that she was Su Xiaoxiao's ex-mother-in-law and the biological grandmother of Da Bao and Xiao Bao.

However, some people don't care about that, like their family's Beiyan.

This kid is single-minded; he'll mess with anyone, except his master.

Regardless of who that person is, there's now another person added to Bei Yan's list of people they shouldn't mess with.

If you offend Su Xiaoxiao, you offend her master, Pei Yuan.

Without a second thought, Bei Yan grabbed his knife and rushed to the door.

He flung the door open and shouted at the entrance, "Hey, who's acting so insolently here? You're utterly shameless! If you swear again, I'll cut your tongue out!"

Startled by the commotion, Granny Liu looked up abruptly and saw Granny Liu standing in front of her. She vaguely remembered him. This young man was a ruthless scoundrel, the kind who would kill at the drop of a hat; she didn't think she could afford to mess with him. Granny Liu took a few steps back. "You, where did this brat come from?"

Granny Liu, still blustering but weak-willed, retorted, "You dare to scare me? Don't you know who you are? I heard you're a servant, a dog of a lackey working for that Pei fellow, isn't that right?"

At this moment, Bei Yandi's eyes instantly darkened, and a layer of coldness appeared in his icy gaze.

A smile played on his lips, but his tone was icy cold; he only used that tone when speaking to enemies on the battlefield.
