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

Chapter 318 The Mother's Family Has Arrived

After finishing their meal at Baxianlou Restaurant, Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng said goodbye.

Back at the General's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao was pulled by Pei Yuan to visit the tomato seedlings in their greenhouse, which was a truly delightful experience.

This wasn't the first time Su Xiaoxiao had visited the greenhouse, but this time was different. Pei Yuan had specially planted tomato seedlings for Su Xiaoxiao here.

Speaking of which, she was really quite happy. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao stepped into the courtyard with its green tiles and white walls and came to their greenhouse. Sure enough, there were many tomato seedlings planted inside. The seedlings, big and small, were really beautiful.

It has a garden-like feel reminiscent of Jiangnan, which makes people feel happy. Su Xiaoxiao casually picked a tomato; the tomato was already red. Seeing how well-grown the tomato was, Su Xiaoxiao immediately picked it, wiped it on her clothes, and then started taking a bite.

"It's so fresh. Do you want some, Saburo?"

Su Xiaoxiao picked a tomato and asked Pei Yuan.

"you eat."

Pei Yuan didn't not want to eat; in fact, he was a little unsure how to eat it.

I'd never eaten tomatoes much before, so I was a little hesitant about them.

In truth, it was all thanks to Pei Yuan's power that we were able to obtain these tomato seedlings.

During the meal, Pei Yuan specially instructed the kitchen to prepare Su Xiaoxiao's favorite dish: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato and egg soup, and braised beef brisket with tomatoes—it was practically a tomato feast.

Su Xiaoxiao enjoyed her meal very much.

Like Da Bao and Xiao Bao, Pei Yuan gradually began to accept the dishes made with tomatoes.

Sweet and sour, summer is indeed the season for tomatoes.

During a break from eating, someone came to knock on the door.

The person who came was none other than Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, Su Bingcheng.

"Xiaoxiao, why didn't you tell your family you were getting married? I've come to offer my congratulations."

Su Bingcheng brought a lot of dishes from his hometown. Although he looked travel-worn, he had a smile on his face. Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect to see her relatives come.

"Oh, right, the general also said that he's going to bring our parents over in a few days so we can enjoy our retirement here!"

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, are you happy?"

Su Xiaoxiao was genuinely startled; she hadn't expected Pei Yuan to be so considerate of her.

She was indeed quite surprised.

"I'm so happy. I really didn't expect that you, Sanlang, had done so many things behind my back."

Su Xiaoxiao was indeed very surprised.

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao was actually a little unsure how to express herself, especially after learning that Pei Yuan had bought a small courtyard for her uncle and aunt nearby, intending to provide them with a place to live in their old age. Su Xiaoxiao was even happier at this moment, never expecting that Pei Yuan had done so many things behind her back.

"By the way, your uncle was so touched when he found out about your situation. He's become much more cheerful and energetic. He says he wants to come over and thank you in person every day."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao happily said, "Actually, I should have gone and brought my uncles and aunts over."

"Yes, the people in our village all said that you didn't invite them to your banquet, and that you should wait until you go back to hold a banquet for them."

"Okay, I will definitely get it done later."

Su Xiaoxiao said this.

Seeing the smile on Su Bingcheng's face, Su Xiaoxiao felt genuinely happy.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, I want to eat your braised noodles." Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy to hear her cousin Su Bingcheng say this.

Even though she is now the general's wife, she is still Su Bingcheng's sister in his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and busied herself making noodles with minced meat sauce. Seeing that there were tomatoes, she also made a tomato-based noodle dish.

Su Xiaoxiao's noodles were very chewy and delicious.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and the sound of slurping noodles could be heard all over the restaurant.

"Suck it...suck it..."

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth; it was really delicious.

"The taste is still so authentic, sister. If you don't open a noodle shop, it will be a real loss for all noodle lovers in the world."

Pei Yuan didn't know how to eat braised noodles, so Su Xiaoxiao taught him that he needed to mix it first to make it taste better. The flavor was truly authentic. Su Xiaoxiao also felt that her cousin Su Bingcheng's praise of her was entirely justified; it was indeed true. If she opened a noodle shop, it would definitely be a huge success.

Su Xiaoxiao also told her cousin Su Bingcheng that she had found her biological brother.

Su Bingcheng was taken aback. "Is this really true?"

"Yes, he lives in the capital. I'll ask him to come over so you can meet him another day."

Su Bingcheng agreed, and after Pei Yuan finished eating, he went to his study to handle official business.

Seeing that Bei Yan had also left, Su Bingcheng came over and took Su Xiaoxiao's hand, instructing her: "If you live with the general in the future, you must be more virtuous. It's not that your cousin is being harsh, but you must remember this. After all, he is a general, a great general above ten thousand people. There are some things that your older brother still has to tell you."

Su Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and listened attentively to her cousin.

Speaking of which, Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, Su Bingcheng, is the older brother she grew up with. He has lived with Su Xiaoxiao for many years and knows her temperament well. Sometimes Su Xiaoxiao can indeed be a bit unruly and undisciplined.

Her family members were well aware of this, and Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively to her cousin, showing no sign of being negligent.

“We are just an ordinary family after all. Although General Pei is a very good person and a reasonable man, you can’t continue to be so carefree in the future, understand?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Indeed, Su Xiaoxiao nodded, not thinking that her cousin was wrong.

"Thank you for reminding me, cousin. I'll be careful. Actually, I know he's good to me. And I'm good to him too!"

"Yes, I know. There's one more thing I need to remind you. If he takes a concubine in the future and doesn't pamper you like he does now, you'll have to learn to be tolerant, understand?"

"If he dares to take a concubine, I will..."

Su Xiaoxiao's fiery temper flared up immediately, and Su Bingcheng glared at her.

"What do you want to say?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood what her cousin meant and obediently said, "I understand, cousin. Don't worry, I will definitely not compete or fight. If it really doesn't work out, I will go back to my Hundred Flowers Village to farm."

"At worst, I'll leave him. It's not like I can't live without a man."

Su Xiaoxiao was very open-minded about this. She smiled and said to Su Bingcheng, "Cousin, please rest assured, I will never be troubled by love."

Su Xiaoxiao's carefree attitude surprised Su Bingcheng.

"It would be best if you could figure it out. That way your uncle and aunt can rest assured. We are actually most afraid that you will suffer any injustice."
