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

Chapter 39 Sharing the Wolf Meat

Su Xiaoxiao's adoptive parents passed away when she was about ten years old, leaving her in the care of her aunt's family. In fact, they could have completely ignored Su Xiaoxiao.

After all, Su Xiaoxiao was just an adopted child; they could just abandon her without a second thought.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was still young at the time, and her aunt felt sorry for her. Since the family didn't need another girl to feed them, she kept Su Xiaoxiao.

Regardless of what we say, it's definitely thanks to her aunt's willingness to raise her that she was able to grow up to be this old.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any other questions and took out two taels of silver to give to Su Bingcheng.

Su Bingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He thought Su Xiaoxiao would only take out a few dozen coins at most, but unexpectedly, she pulled out silver.

"Xiaoxiao, it has to be you. My mother has always said that you will definitely be filial in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions, and more importantly, Su Bingcheng didn't give her time to ask.

"Xiaoxiao, well, Mom's waiting for me to bring back money for her medical treatment. I have to go now!"

Su Bingcheng quickly said goodbye and left, and Su Xiaoxiao saw him to the door.

“Cousin, if you don’t have enough money, just ask. If Aunt’s illness doesn’t get better, I’ll see if I can introduce her to a good doctor.”

Su Bingcheng gave a vague reply and left with the money.

Su Xiaoxiao watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Saburo walked over and patted her on the back.

"You just gave him the money like that!"

During this period, Su Xiaoxiao only earned a little over two taels of silver from selling tiger skins and wild chrysanthemums to Cixitang. She gave the lion's share to Su Bingcheng without hesitation.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "I know you're worried, but you don't actually know my relationship with my aunt. It's my duty to be filial to her."

"All right!"

Su Bingcheng could only keep his worries to himself and couldn't offer any more advice to Su Xiaoxiao, since all that money was earned by Su Xiaoxiao on her own.

Do you know what causes headaches?

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked in a daze.

Sanlang shook his head. "I'm not a doctor either, so I don't know the situation. We'll have to go and see your aunt's specific condition before making a decision. To be honest, you don't even know what illness she has yet."

However, Su Xiaoxiao thought that the term "headache" was indeed too broad, as any illness could potentially start with a headache.

For example, a cold may initially manifest as a splitting headache.

Thinking about this, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she hadn't caught a cold since she came to ancient times.

Thinking back, even as a special agent, she had been infected several times during the pandemic and had been knocked down by the terrible virus.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Sanlang and Dabao and Xiaobao with great determination, "Starting today, we must improve our physical fitness, pay attention to our nutrition every day, and exercise. Remember to go to bed early and get up early. Sanlang, you need to exercise more."

Saburo had no choice but to agree, as his injuries had now completely healed.

The body gradually returned to its original state, but it seems that the brain has not yet recovered its memory. The person is still silly and can't remember anything.

After Su Xiaoxiao entered the house, she cleaned it again and saw that there was still cured meat hanging on the beam. She then decided to make some cured meat for the children.

This time, I made a noodle soup by simmering cured pork and noodles together.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were still wondering what the meat of the wild wolf that Su Xiaoxiao had hunted down tasted like.

Su Xiaoxiao had never eaten wolf meat before and didn't know what it tasted like.

Although she ate a kind of snack called wolf meat or Tang Monk meat when she was a child, those snacks were all substitutes such as apricot meat or other bean products.

Real wolf meat is quite bloody, and Su Xiaoxiao had never actually eaten it before.

She asked Sanlang, "How do you eat wolf meat? Have you ever eaten it?" Sanlang thought for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that he had never eaten it.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that she loved sweet and sour pork, so she decided to cook the wolf meat the same way she made sweet and sour pork.

No, she started using wolf meat to make sweet and sour pork. Wolf meat is indeed all lean meat, and just based on that alone, it's more in line with the idea that sweet and sour pork is made with lean pork tenderloin.

What I really didn't expect was that the sweet and sour pork made with wolf meat was surprisingly delicious.

The sweet and sour pork was so delicious that Su Xiaoxiao fried up a whole pot of it.

Wolf meat itself is quite fragrant and doesn't have much of an off-putting smell. Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was truly delicious and left a lingering fragrance in her mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao distributed some of the remaining wolf meat to the village head's family, sent some to Aunt Wang's family, and also sent some to the Sun family.

The Sun family was in poverty; they had two children who were always hungry.

In that era of war and turmoil, the cultivation of food was often affected by natural disasters and man-made calamities, and many people could not get enough to eat.

In addition, the country's taxes were very heavy, and most families were on the verge of starvation.

Even though Su Xiaoxiao's life is better now, she can't eat sweet and sour pork every day, right? Although sweet and sour pork is delicious.

Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about her safety while living in Baihua Village.

As things stand, Da Bao is getting older every day, and he will have to go to school sooner or later.

There is no private school in Baihua Village; you have to go to the town to find one.

In this village, people's hearts are unpredictable and hard to warm up.

During the meal, Da Bao seemed very happy. It was his first time eating sweet and sour pork, so he asked for an extra bowl of rice. While asking for more rice, he didn't forget to steal a glance at Su Xiao Xiao.

Su Xiaoxiao knew his little secret; he was afraid she would get angry and think he ate too much.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him thoughtfully, "Dabao, are you going to school?"

Da Bao was taken aback when he heard this, "Mom, what is going to school?"

"Oh, it means studying, going to a private school and studying like other children."

Da Bao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but then immediately dimmed again.

"No, only children from wealthy families can attend private schools. I..."

"What do you mean by 'rich family's child'? Other people's children can go to school, what are you lacking?"

"I have Sanlang to teach me to read, that's enough."

Da Bao still behaved very well and sensible, and Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and patted his head.

"Dabao, don't worry, I'll leave this to your mother."

Because of the good food we've been eating lately, Da Bao has grown taller.

After finishing his meal, Da Bao stood on a small stool and insisted on washing the dishes.

He was so well-behaved, like a little adult, which made Su Xiaoxiao feel sorry for him.

"Mom, I feel so happy now. Xiao Bao and I can eat delicious food every day, and we can even go to private school with you. I feel so blessed!"

Su Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard this.

"With Da Bao's words, I feel that my efforts have not been in vain."

"But I remember Grandma saying that if you enjoy happiness too early, you won't have any good fortune in the future."
