Chapter 273 Su Xiaoxiao Arranges Jobs for the Li Family

Su Xiaoxiao left really quickly. Li Shun originally wanted to be more polite, but when he came out, Su Xiaoxiao and the others were gone.

"This is what we should do."

Su Xiaoxiao still had a smile on her face. Li Shun watched Su Xiaoxiao and the others walk away and sighed. In the end, he didn't say anything and went back to his room.

When Li Shun returned to his room, he saw Li Taibai still holding a medicine bottle and staring blankly. He asked him, "How are your injuries? Do you want me to apply some medicine for you?"

Coming to his senses, Li Bai said softly, "No need, I can manage on my own."

Watching his son's determined back, Li Shun felt helpless. He couldn't insist on anything, as his son had always been stubborn. He could only sigh softly and return to his room.

After Su Xiaoxiao returned home with her two children, her eldest son happily said to her, "Mom, I smell a delicious aroma of food. You must have made something yummy, right?"

"Yes, Mom really made a lot of delicious food for you today. But before you eat, tell me what happened today, okay?"

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao very seriously grabbed Da Bao's hand and pulled him to her side.

She actually wanted to know the reason behind this: why did those children insist on bullying her eldest child?

After hearing this, Da Bao told Su Xiaoxiao everything that had happened that day.

"Actually, I brought a few pieces of osmanthus cake to the private school today, intending to share them with my good friends. But those kids' leaders snatched them away. Of course, I was indignant, so I argued with them, and ended up getting beaten up."

"If only I were a bit stronger, I could definitely be a match for them!"

Looking at Da Bao's determined eyes, Su Xiaoxiao felt quite guilty. Then, Da Bao said to Su Xiaoxiao, "At this moment, Brother Li Taibai rushed over and started fighting with those people. In the end, he couldn't beat them because there were too many of them, so he protected me and used his body to take the punches that were coming at me."

"If you hadn't arrived in time, Mother, who knows what might have happened!"

Da Bao said this.

Suddenly he remembered something, “Mother, my brother is among these children.”

"Who?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked, quite puzzled.

"My eldest uncle's most disobedient older brother."

Su Xiaoxiao hadn't noticed this at all. "You mean your uncle's kid named Kunzai?"

"Yes, but after he saw you come, he hid behind the haystacks and didn't show up again."

"That bastard!"

Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, "Just like his father, a complete scoundrel!"

Su Xiaoxiao was furious, feeling that there must be a troublemaker involved in this whole mess.

Why don't we usually see any of the village's kids bullying Da Bao and Xiao Bao?
It's really a bit much that something like this happened today.

"It must have been Kunzi who did it," Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself.

That kid is wicked, just like his father, Liu Dazhuang.

"Da Bao, don't worry, I will definitely help you find out who is behind this. If I find out that Kun Zai is the one who planned to beat you up, I will definitely make him pay."

Su Xiaoxiao is not weak at all; she is absolutely vengeful.

Pei Yuan and Bei Yan rushed back from town, unaware of Da Bao's situation. Su Xiaoxiao decided to keep it a secret from Da Bao for now.

But Xiao Bao couldn't control his mouth and told Pei Yuan and the others about it.

"What kind of kids are these? They have no manners at all. I'll teach them a lesson!"

Pei Yuan could no longer contain himself and was ready to go and settle accounts with those thugs.

"Don't make things worse. What kind of business is it for a great general like you to go and find those petty thugs?"

After Su Xiaoxiao said that, Pei Yuan calmed down. Indeed, if his words got out, wouldn't he be ridiculed?

Pei Yuan learned that Da Bao and Xiao Bao were only slightly frightened and were not actually hit.

Actually, it was a boy named Li Taibai who came out and helped the two children withstand the beating.

Pei Yuan said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Go and give them some more silver. I heard that family is in dire straits."

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. After lunch, she took fifty taels of silver and went to Li Taibai's house.

When they arrived at their home, Li Taibai and his father Li Shun both refused Su Xiaoxiao's invitation.

"This is too much money, we can't accept it."

Su Xiaoxiao advised, "It's nothing, please accept it. Otherwise, we'll feel bad, and you can't make our whole family feel guilty every day, can you?"

Li Taibai pursed his lips. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's insistence, he really couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly accepted.

The fifty taels of silver now felt heavy in his hands, like a large stone pressing on his chest.

Li Taibai handed the fifty taels of silver to his father, Li Shun, whose hands began to tremble. He accepted the silver somewhat woodenly, and finally let out a long sigh. Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao's heart softened.

Fifty taels of silver is not much to Su Xiaoxiao now, but for Li Shun's family, it is a lot of money, enough to support them for several years.

Of course, it was based on their family's standard of living. Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Li Shun and his son Li Taibai were still quite embarrassed to accept Su Xiaoxiao's money.

"Well then, my jam workshop happens to be short of a night watchman. I wonder if you, Brother Li Shun, can do this job?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shun paused for a moment, then immediately nodded vigorously.

"Of course, I'm willing to help your family with the work. Consider this money as my wages, you don't need to pay me any extra wages."

Li Shun said this.

Su Xiaoxiao was very happy to see that Li Shun was willing to help her.

"The work isn't very strenuous, but I still need to pay you. This money can't be considered wages."

Su Xiaoxiao was quite persistent and firmly disagreed that Li Shun had only come to help.

Li Shun finally got a job, which gave his impoverished family a glimmer of hope.

Su Xiaoxiao then asked Doctor Li from Ci'an Hall to examine Li Taibai's mother. She learned that her mother's illness was actually very serious, and if it was not treated soon, it would likely lead to serious problems.

Fortunately, we met Dr. Li, otherwise there would have been no major problems.

Tuberculosis is really not easy to cure, not only in Su Xiaoxiao's time, but also in modern times.
