Chapter 325 Gold Bars for Noodles

The way Su Xiaoxiao clutched the gold bars made the emperor roll his eyes.

"Ha, you really are a miser. Su Xiaoxiao, I even wonder if you were the reincarnation of that classic miser character from that great writer's novel? How can you love money so much?"

"Nonsense, everyone loves money. Otherwise, why would you be a corporate slave being exploited by a big boss?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor said with a pitiful expression, "Let's not dwell on the past. It's so heartbreaking, so painful... In my past life, I was just a corporate slave, but in this life, I'm an emperor. Don't you think this is fate?"

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless; she had no intention of getting involved in this matter!
"Stop showing off in front of me."

Su Xiaoxiao carefully put away the gold bars and also put away her small account books, afraid that the emperor would see them.

She then got up and went to the kitchen. Su Xiaoxiao saw the emperor sitting in his room, looking idle, and said to him, "Don't rummage through my things. Otherwise, you'll have to come to the kitchen with me. Otherwise, if I poison something, you'll have to find someone to test it with silver needles."

Upon hearing this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "What are you saying? Do you really think of yourself as that kind of person?"

"Well, I certainly wouldn't poison you, but if I were to spit on you, I probably would!"

The emperor rolled his eyes at her. "Don't be like that. I paid for this."

After Su Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen, she started making braised noodles. Soon, a bowl of Beijing-style mixed sauce noodles was served.

Su Xiaoxiao was making noodles in the kitchen, and the aroma filled the room outside.

The emperor felt a warm feeling at this moment. Although things outside had changed, it was as if he had returned to the world he used to live in.

After a steaming bowl of noodles was served, Su Xiaoxiao also brought a clove of garlic for the emperor.

"You want some too?"

The emperor looked in surprise at the large bowl placed in front of Su Xiaoxiao, which was more than twice the size of his own bowl.

"Yes, why can't I eat it? These are noodles I made; you can eat as much as you want."

Su Xiaoxiao put down her bowl and started eating, adding vinegar as she went, and occasionally biting into a clove of garlic.

The emperor couldn't wait any longer. He sat opposite Su Xiaoxiao and eagerly ate his noodles, as if he were having a competition with her.

While eating noodles, the emperor felt sorry for himself.

"My bowl of noodles costs two gold coins, but your huge bowl costs..."

"Hehe, because I made it."

After eating the noodles, the emperor felt as if he had been reborn.

"I have nowhere to stay tonight, could I stay here for the night?"

Su Xiaoxiao was clearing away the dishes when she said, "Huh? Are you overthinking this?"

"How many gold bars? Tell me?"

This time, the emperor was smarter and laid out the conditions directly.

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't know how to refuse.

"Are you the emperor? Don't you have anywhere to stay? This whole world is yours. Besides, you're loaded with gold bars, so why do you insist on staying here with me?"

While greedily eyeing the gold bars in the emperor's arms, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain.

"Then don't worry about it. I'm full and don't want to move. It's so dark outside, and it's not safe, is it?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "You're playing the emperor, and you even know martial arts, yet you're afraid of the dark? It's just an excuse." "Go to sleep. My shop is big anyway. But you can't sleep in this accounting room; you can choose any of the other rooms."

"But the overnight fee is three gold bars a night."

"no problem."

As he spoke, the emperor tossed three gold bars to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao happily accepted the three gold bars and put them in her pocket.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know when the emperor left the next day. After she got up, she stretched and put away all her gold bars.

Su Pingan knocked on the door, asking Su Xiaoxiao to go home together. Su Xiaoxiao had already prepared the gift, and she took the gift with her to Su Pingan's uncle and aunt's house.

The aunt's joy at seeing Su Xiaoxiao was indescribable.

"Xiaoxiao, my child, you're finally back?"

"Uncle, Aunt, I miss you so much too."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao quickly introduced her second brother, Su Ping'an, to her uncle and aunt.

Su Xiaoxiao's uncle and aunt both had red eyes, happy for Su Xiaoxiao.

The uncle wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Stop crying, everyone. It's not good for the child to come back all this time. You shouldn't cry like this."

"Come inside quickly, let's eat and chat."

Su Xiaoxiao was led into the house by her uncle and aunt, where a table was already set with food. Su Xiaoxiao seemed very surprised, "Did you know I was coming back?"

Your uncle and aunt said with a smile, "Actually, your cousin Su Bingcheng came back to inform us yesterday when you arrived in town."

Su Xiaoxiao immediately guessed it was her cousin who had mentioned it. "Where is my cousin?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't see Su Bingcheng, so she quickly asked.

"He's really busy now. He opened a branch in the next town and hired a lot of young helpers. More and more people are eating hot pot now, and business is booming."

Seeing how happy her uncle and aunt were, Su Xiaoxiao knew that her cousin was definitely not joking this time. He must still be quite happy to make money and start his own business.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao saw that her uncle and aunt's house was really too dilapidated. She discussed it with Su Ping'an and decided to build them a nice, big house. At least they could live a little more comfortably, Su Xiaoxiao thought.

In the evening, her aunt brought Su Xiaoxiao a bucket of hot water for her to wash her feet. Thoughtfully, she had added herbs to it; the herbs had a pleasant, refreshing scent, which Su Xiaoxiao knew was very good for her health. It could relax her mind and help her sleep well.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt even more strongly that she missed her uncle and aunt. They had cared for her a lot before and given her the warmth of a family, even though it was something the original owner had enjoyed. But it was still the same. Su Xiaoxiao soaked her feet while listening to her aunt talk to her.

"You've lost weight, Xiaoxiao. I heard you've been practicing kung fu lately, and you've even become famous in the army camp, almost defeating the camp's sharpshooter. Is that true?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's true."

"Xiaoxiao, why do you, a woman, have to suffer so much? It breaks my heart to see you like this. Look at the bruises on your legs, they're from training at the martial arts field, aren't they?"

When Su Xiaoxiao washed her feet, she rolled up her trouser legs, revealing several bruises on her fair legs.

Su Xiaoxiao said shyly, "Actually, not all of them are."

Su Xiaoxiao did suffer a lot while practicing martial arts, but she did it willingly and had no regrets.

"It's alright, I enjoy practicing martial arts so I don't find it hard."
