Chapter 429 Sending the Ox Cart

Zhao was grateful for Su Xiaoxiao's actions, but it also made her feel quite guilty about how Wang Shi and Su Xiuer had bullied Su Xiaoxiao together here.

Therefore, she began to distance herself from and become somewhat antagonistic towards Old Madam Wang, and now she doesn't want to say anything too hostile towards Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao has troubled quite a few people with both opening a hot pot restaurant and planting chili peppers here. However, to be fair, although Old Mrs. Wang only went to Su Xiangdong's hot pot restaurant for a meal, she didn't actually help much.

However, she felt somewhat guilty for helping her family with this matter.

After finishing all these tasks, she took some gifts and went directly to the Su family's old residence.

Whether these gifts were intended as a thank-you gift to the Su family or for some other reason, they were ultimately a form of social exchange and compensation for them.

Old Man Su was naturally delighted by Su Xiaoxiao's arrival. He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "You must stay for dinner today!"

As a result, the old lady Wang next to her coughed lightly. Although she didn't say anything, it was clear that she didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to stay for dinner.

Su Xiaoxiao was very perceptive; even if she were to stay for dinner, she wouldn't be able to eat. So, she was quite sensible and said directly, "Dad, Mom, I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now. Su Ping'an and I can come back for dinner later; there's no rush!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Old Madam Wang, who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He really is stingy. Su Xiaoxiao didn't mean anything by it; she just thought this guy was really stingy!
Do you think eating a meal at your house would bankrupt you? Besides, Su Xiaoxiao took quite a bit of stuff and even gave Old Man Su some extra household money.

However, Su Xiaoxiao had no interest in the meal and simply said goodbye and left.

Just as she reached the door, she remembered that she had discussed with Su Ping'an a few days ago about getting an oxcart for the old man. She had already found one in town and planned to ask the shop owner to deliver it tomorrow.

She forgot to mention it while she was inside, and only remembered it when she reached the door. She was just about to turn back and tell Old Man Su or anyone else in the family about it.

As soon as she stepped into the house, at the door of Old Mrs. Wang's house, she heard two people talking inside.

However, if you want to know what someone is thinking, you should listen to what they say behind their back.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao also felt that she shouldn't have listened to people talking about her behind her back. But those people were Old Madam Wang and her daughter Su Xiuer, and it was obvious that the two of them were gossiping about her behind her back. Could she not come and listen?
It seemed that only Old Madam Wang and Su Xiuer were in the room. Su Xiuer shouted at her mother, "Mom, look at how Dad treats her. He treats her like his own daughter. He doesn't even respect me. How long has it been since Dad spoke to me properly like that?"

What is Su Xiuer blaming her father for? It's actually quite funny. She actually brought this up and even said that her father treats her better than he treats her, complaining that the old man Su now treats Su Xiaoxiao like his own daughter.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought, "Is this even reasonable?"

Then, a sigh came from inside: "Alas, my child, things are different now! Can Su Xiaoxiao's status before be compared to now? I really didn't expect that this woman is so cunning. Her best trick is winning people over!" Su Xiu'er continued to scold Su Xiaoxiao: "Mother, that's not just winning people over, she's a vixen, you know? I bet she's a vixen in disguise!"

Su Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused outside. It was the first time she had ever heard someone call her a vixen. Could her actions really be associated with being a vixen?
However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Su Xiuer did have a bit of a vixen-like quality.

Based on the methods she used to seduce Prince Gong, and the way she acted so charming and delicate when Su Xiaoxiao accidentally stumbled upon her and Prince Gong having a secret rendezvous, compared to her usual aggressive and shrewish demeanor at home, calling her a vixen really does fit.

Old Mrs. Wang quickly stopped Su Xiuer, "You absolutely mustn't. You can call her a vixen and say whatever you want to her at home, but what if she hears you? Look at your father's attitude today, and who did Su Xiaoxiao give this month's allowance to when she left? She gave it directly to your father. If you continue to be so insensible, neither of us will have any pocket money in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiuer angrily shouted at her mother, "It's all that wretched woman's fault! I knew she was the most cunning! I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!"

After Su Xiuer finished venting, Old Madam Wang also gave her a few words of advice, and finally stopped talking about Su Xiaoxiao.

When Su Xiaoxiao heard them talking about her like that outside, she wasn't surprised, nor was she angry.

She didn't take it to heart at all, straightened her clothes, and made a little noise so that the people inside could hear.

Then the people inside fell silent, assuming that Old Man Su had returned.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao opened the door, she went straight inside.

Su Xiuer was stunned for a moment. She felt a little guilty, wondering if Su Xiaoxiao had heard what she had just said. However, she didn't care. She just rolled her eyes at Su Xiaoxiao in front of her and then turned around to do something else.

Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and asked Old Madam Wang, "Where is my father?"

Old Mrs. Wang feigned politeness, "Your father went outside to feed the chickens. Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"

"No, I came back to tell you, Mother, that the oxcart I bought for Father in town will be delivered tomorrow. You can check it out and if there are any problems, you can tell the owner directly."

Grandma Wang's eyes lit up, and she immediately praised Su Xiaoxiao.

"I knew it! Xiaoxiao, you're so efficient. Alright, I'll talk to your dad about this later."

Knowing that the oxcart was coming, Old Madam Wang was naturally overjoyed. Their previous oxcart was hardly a proper oxcart; it was just a draft ox used for plowing the fields, utterly inadequate. Not only was the ox slow, but it was also too old to walk. They had actually been planning to replace it with a new oxcart for a while, but that would cost a considerable amount of money, and they simply didn't have the extra funds to pay for it.

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao suggested getting them a new oxcart, which Old Mrs. Wang thought was a great idea.
