Chapter 37 Su Xiaoxiao eases tensions

When Liu Dazhuang heard his mother say this, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Su Xiaoxiao is so arrogant and domineering, what do you think about us finding her a son-in-law who lives with her family?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu quickly chimed in, "That's a good idea! If we find her a son-in-law who lives with her family, we can keep her under control. Then we won't have to go through all this trouble, right?"

These two are really disgusting. I don't know what they're thinking all day long, but if they really want to find a live-in son-in-law for Su Xiaoxiao, do they really think they can control her just like they imagine?
After making up their minds, the two began to think about whether there were any good-looking men they knew in the village that Su Xiaoxiao would definitely like.

But in the end, Grandma Liu slapped her thigh and said, "No way! There's still a man in their family. If he doesn't leave, how are we going to find her a son-in-law to live with them?"

Upon reflection, Liu Dazhuang realized that this was indeed the case.

This matter is quite troublesome. First of all, it's not easy to find a man in this village who is better than that Sanlang.

Where can we find such a handsome man? It's even more difficult than getting on stage.

Grandma Liu patted Liu Dazhuang on the shoulder and said, "This matter needs further consideration. I'll talk to Grandma Wang about it later and ask her to find someone suitable. Besides, Grandma Wang's house is next to Su Xiaoxiao's. If anything happens, we'll need to rely on Grandma Wang to find out as soon as possible, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dazhuang immediately nodded in agreement.

On her way home, Su Xiaoxiao ran into Aunt Wang returning from the fields.

"Xiaoxiao, I heard you went out and beat someone up again?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

She hadn't even gone home yet, and the news of her hitting someone had already spread. Does everyone know about it?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao smiled shyly and said, "Aunt Wang, I'll go teach those two bad guys a lesson. Who told them to steal all our grain while I was away?"

"Hey Xiaoxiao, I suggest you get a dog. It can help guard the house. Look at how things keep getting stolen every now and then, it's not a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "That's right!"

If they could keep a dog, wouldn't that save them a lot of trouble? They wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by bad people all the time.

"Aunt Wang, I'll think about this when I get back. Thank you! Actually, if my things hadn't been stolen today, I wouldn't have acted so impulsively."

Aunt Wang smiled, indicating that she fully understood Su Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, several villagers who were passing by saw Su Xiaoxiao and quickly went around her.

"What's wrong with them? They're looking at me like I'm a plague carrier."

"What else could it be? Everyone's afraid of you now."

Grandma Wang is quite open-minded now. After thinking for a moment, she said to Su Xiaoxiao, "A few days ago, we were talking about how it's not easy for you as a widow and orphan, and we told everyone to be careful and not to go and bother you."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised that Li Zheng actually spoke up for her; it was quite unexpected.

"I thought the village head was still jealous of me!"

"No, he is, after all, a village official. He is in charge of such a large village, so when he considers issues, he must also take the overall situation into account."

Grandma Wang's words seemed to make a lot of sense.

After saying goodbye to Granny Wang, Su Xiaoxiao went home.

Sanlang and his two children rushed over. "Mom, are you alright?" Sanlang looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down. "Are you alright? I heard you went out to get into a fight again?"

"Small idea!"

"Don't go out and fight all the time. I'll be heartbroken if you get hurt."

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. When did Sanlang start saying such mushy things? It was unlike him.

Su Xiaoxiao hid the money from selling the medicinal herbs at Ci'an Hall in that cabinet again. She said to Sanlang, "I think we should get a dog. This can't go on."

Upon hearing this, Saburo said, "That's a good idea, but where can we find wolfhounds?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Let me see if I can find one to bring back up the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Sanlang, with a dark expression, advised, "Xiaoxiao, that won't do. There are wild beasts on the mountain. What if you bring back a wolf cub instead of a wolfhound?"

But Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Really? Why do we have to find a dog? Why don't we raise a wolf cub first? We can catch a wolf cub, raise it, and it can help us guard the house."

Saburo smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Xiaoxiao, I think raising wolves is a bit too risky. Let's go to the market and see if they sell wolfhounds. But for now, I think we should raise the courtyard wall and renovate the house properly so that those people won't be able to come in and steal things anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought that this idea was indeed worth considering. She also knew that the height of the courtyard wall was important; if it was too low, the Wang family next door would always be eyeing their house.

Sanlang offered to help build the courtyard wall, and Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "Thank you for always thinking of me so much."

Saburo said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know how to thank you enough for saving me, and because of me, you're now burdened with this kind of reputation in the village."

"I've already said it, reputation and fame are all fleeting."

Sanlang expressed his great appreciation for Su Xiaoxiao's cheerful and generous nature.

Just then, Sister Sun came over, pleading with Su Xiaoxiao with a very anxious expression, "Xiaoxiao, can you do me a favor?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then asked, "Sister Sun, you look out of breath, is something the matter?"

Sister Sun said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Actually, it's our family's chickens. They've all been stolen these past few days. It seems like some weasels have entered our house, but we can't find any trace of them."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Sister Sun, isn't this something a human being wouldn't do?"

"No, my husband said it must have been done by a weasel."

As Sister Sun was speaking, she was about to explain the specific details when the village head suddenly came and knocked on Su Xiaoxiao's door.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that the village head would only come to her place if he had something important to say.

He must have come here for something.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely to blame last time. In any case, she was partly to blame. She didn't stop the wild boar in time, which is why the village head was knocked into the ditch by the boar. Su Xiaoxiao felt quite apologetic at the time.
