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

Chapter 293 The wedding is coming
“Here you are. Since you have nowhere to go, I can take you in. You don’t need to be treated like slaves. My family runs a workshop. You can work there and I will pay you on time.”

"Ok!"

Su Xiaoxiao thought that the workshop was short of a young errand boy, so why not ask Su Lie to do it?

After the rain stopped, Su Xiaoxiao and Bei Yan took Su Lie's grandfather to the Ci'an Hall in town.

Su Lie's grandfather, Su Daqiang, fainted from hunger after malnutrition and not eating for three days.

After recuperating at Ci'an Hall for a few days, he was discharged from the hospital.

After Su Xiaoxiao took the two people to town to buy some clothes they could wear, they returned home.

Upon arriving at the door, Su Lie was also shocked to look at Su Xiaoxiao's house.

"I never expected your house to be so beautiful, sister!"

Su Xiaoxiao was also very happy to see that her house was praised for being beautiful.

When the house was being built, Su Xiaoxiao knew that it was decorated according to the standards of a regular house, which made her quite proud.

After assigning rooms to the two of them, Su Xiaoxiao instructed Su Lie, "Remember, don't be shy. If you need anything, just tell me or your sister Liu. Don't hesitate to ask."

Su Lie was already extremely grateful, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Su Xiaoxiao again.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him, "Please don't bow like that anymore, I can't accept it!"

Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Qiaomei over as well, and said to Su Lie, "Actually, we're all about the same age, so we can just call each other brother and sister from now on. Don't be too formal, okay?"

Su Lie was moved to tears.

However, after taking a closer look at Su Lie, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that the boy was actually quite handsome after washing his face. He had delicate features and was really good-looking.

To exaggerate a bit, she's as beautiful as a pretty young woman.

People tend to be a bit shy; they blush before they even speak.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this was because Su Lie was a bit shy.

“Perfect timing. We’re starting to plant soybeans in our fields these days. You can go and work as a day laborer, Su Lie.”

When Su Lie heard that there was work to be done, and that he could work for Su Xiaoxiao's family instead of eating for free, he was naturally quite happy and immediately agreed.

Da Bao was overjoyed to have another older brother in the family. He clung to Su Lie all day long, either practicing martial arts or going out to play. Su Lie didn't want to go out to play; he just wanted to do something for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "Boys your age are at their most mischievous. What else are you going to do if you're not playing? Su Lie, don't think that playing is a waste of time. This is also your job, you know? Just think of spending time with my son as a job. I've assigned it to you, and you have to do it, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie quickly agreed, like a subordinate who had just received orders from a general, and went to play with Da Bao.

Su Xiaoxiao was also quite helpless, and said to Bei Yan beside her, "This child, if only she could relax a little more."

To put it bluntly, if Su Lie had a personality like Bei Yan's, he would be successful anywhere.

Bei Yan rolled her eyes at Su Xiaoxiao. "Madam, are you implying that I have a big face and he has a small face?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "That's right."

"Do you grow soybeans here too?" The next day, Su Lie said he wanted to go farming with Su Xiaoxiao. He didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao's family still grew soybeans. This reminded Su Lie of his hometown on the border, where soybeans were indeed grown more. Naturally, Su Lie was very experienced in this area.

Su Xiaoxiao realized that there were indeed many things that Baihua Village didn't have, but that didn't mean other places in the country didn't have them.

Su Xiaoxiao also asked Su Lie for some tips on planting soybeans, and he actually taught her some useful methods.

Bei Yan, leading the stubborn mule and the plowing tools, complained behind Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lie.

"Don't just talk, help me carry some of my things too!"

Su Xiaoxiao then turned around and saw that Bei Yan had brought two sets of plowing tools this time.

"Why did you take two sets? Which one is it?"

"It was rented by me before."

Su Lie quickly went over to help Bei Yan carry the plowing tools. Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy to see that Bei Yan was willing to help him.

It wasn't just simple help; when it came to plowing, the slender Su Lie was practically an expert.

He first went to the edge of the field and skillfully attached the plowing equipment to the stubborn mule. At this point, the stubborn mule was no longer stubborn and was very obedient.

"Giddy up, sir!"

The stubborn mule immediately began to move obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao, watching from the side, asked Su Lie, "You're so young, how do you know how to plow the fields?"

"Yes, I've known how for a long time. I've been farming with my grandfather since I was a child."

Bei Yan had no choice but to follow behind and help. He had a large wooden bucket hanging around his neck, filled with soybean seeds, and he began to sow the seeds.

While sowing seeds, he complained, "You know, this stubborn mule, it wouldn't listen to anyone until today. It's really rare to see it so obedient and get right to work."

Speaking of this, one has to admire Su Lie. Perhaps he had a natural ability to connect with animals from a young age, and the fact that he was able to communicate with this mule so quickly and make that stubborn mule obey him so obediently is a talent that is innate and cannot be envied by others.

Su Lie skillfully held a whip in one hand, softly shouting slogans as he began to plow the field.

Su Lie's skill is truly unexpected. It seems this child has some merits. I'll have Bei Yan learn more from him.

The people in the village were all watching the commotion by Su Xiaoxiao's house, thinking that Su Xiaoxiao had found a good helper this time.

Su Xiaoxiao followed Bei Yan's example and worked in the fields. Some villagers were impressed when they saw Su Xiaoxiao doing the farm work with such ease.

Some of the bolder villagers, upon hearing that Su Xiaoxiao's wedding banquet was about to begin, wanted to join in the fun and asked Su Xiaoxiao about it.

"I heard you're getting married to the General. When is it? Can we come and offer our congratulations?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing and explained to everyone, "We'll be able to hold the ceremony around May or June when the general returns from the battlefield. You all have to come and support us then, right?"

The villagers were overjoyed to hear this, saying, "That's wonderful! We'll definitely come!"

"Yes, no need to bring any gifts, just come over."
