Chapter 40: We Meet Again

Actually, snake meat stewed with old hens was very fragrant, but she only had snake meat and no old hens at the moment, so this cooking could only be put aside.

However, she had made some pepper and salt last time. Why not make some pepper and salt meat?

It was better to act than to be tempted. Su Li took out the salt and pepper sealed in the jar and then processed the snake meat to marinate it. If she did not marinate the snake meat well, it would have a fishy smell and would not be so flavorful.

She boiled a pot of oil and then a part of the snake into it. After a while, the fragrance wafted out of the He family's dilapidated kitchen.

"Mother, I want to eat meat!" He Mingshan, who was next door, cried from craving Su Li's cooking.

Chen Xiang could only pat his head and comfort him. "Didn't you eat it last time? Bear with it. I'll buy it for you next time!"

In the past, it was fine for everyone to be vegetarian. Now, Su Li would stew meat to eat every few days, making them crave for meat!

He Mingshan pouted. Next time? He didn't even know when the next time would be. It seemed like there was no chance!

He Qingmu sniffed and praised, "Mother, your food smells so good!"

Su Li smiled and said, "Then eat more later."

He Qingmu quickly nodded. "Yes, yes!"

Soon, a delicious meal was ready. He Qingyao and He Qingmu were very sensible. They would help Su Li get bowls, chopsticks, and rice. They would even help her place the dishes on the table.

Su Li nodded in relief. Children needed to undergo a certain amount of training. It was useless to nurture them like flowers in a greenhouse. One day, they would spread their wings and soar. At that time, it would all depend on their abilities. No one could help them anymore.

He Qingyao and his brother sat at the table and looked at the food on the table with shining eyes. Su Li did not touch her chopsticks, and they had no intention of picking up their chopsticks.

"Let's eat!" Su Li picked up a piece of snake meat for them each.

At the He family's old residence, Sun Yuangui and his servant waited for a long time but still did not see Su Li. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Sun Yuangui felt that it was strange, so he asked Sun Ming to go out and take a look.

Wang Chunhua pursed her lips when she saw Sun Ming leave. She went forward and enthusiastically refilled Sun Yuangui's glass of water. Then, she grabbed Sun Yuangui and chatted with him, wishing she could dig out all about him.

Sun Yuangui was very displeased with Wang Chunhua's actions. Out of courtesy, he still casually brushed her off. However, it was already not bad if even one out of ten sentences she said was true.

Wang Chunhua did not feel that Sun Yuangui was being perfunctory. She was a little proud in her heart. Look at how impressive she was. She already knew the background of the noble. She had to go to the village tomorrow to brag.

"When will she be back?" Sun Yuangui was getting impatient.

Wang Chunhua said perfunctorily, "Soon, soon!"

It would be a miracle if Su Li could return to the old residence. In any case, she would keep the people here first. It would not be bad if she could get a good job from them in the future.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, come in and talk to the noble." Wang Chunhua called He Fengnian and He Fengshou into the house.

The third son, He Fengye, was not at home. He accompanied his wife back to her maiden home.

Looking at her descendants in front of him, Sun Yuangui wished he could run. If not for the fact that he wanted to wait for Su Li, he would not have stayed here for another minute.

"Old Master..." Sun Ming came back from outside and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Speak!"

Sun Ming whispered into Sun Yuangui's ear.

Sun Yuangui stood up. At this moment, he still did not know that he had been deceived by Wang Chunhua, his brain was really messed up.

Sun Yuangui brought Sun Ming out of the door. Wang Chunhua saw him and hurriedly chased after him.

"Where are you going? The food will be ready soon."

Sun Yuangui said with a cold expression, "We won't be eating. We'd better look for your daughter-in-law. I don't think she'll come back to your house for dinner."

It was also because he was thinking too much. Why would they still eat together after splitting up? It was not the New Year or the festive season!

Wang Chunhua, who was exposed, did not feel ashamed at all. She said shamelessly, "Wait a moment. I guarantee that she will definitely come back later."

"No need!" Sun Yuangui waved his sleeves and left.

"Why don't you eat before leaving!" Wang Chunhua shouted at Sun Yuangui's back.

Sun Yuangui walked down the mountain without stopping.

Wang Chunhua pursed her lips and said, "It's good that they left. We saved a meal and still got so many gifts. It would be a pity to let those people eat such good things!"

Fortunately, she was smart enough to bring everything over. Otherwise, it would all be in the stomach of Third Brother's family.

"Mother, why did they all leave?" Madam Qian chased out of the kitchen and asked.

Wang Chunhua glared at Madam Qian and said, "So what if they leave? Are you going to be happy if they stay for dinner?"

Madam Qian, who had been scolded for no reason, felt very aggrieved, but Madam Zhao was gloating.

Wang Chunhua moved all the things Sun Yuangui had brought into her room and locked them in a box.

"Grandma, I want to eat pastries!" He Jinbao ran over to Wang Chunhua and the first thing he asked was to eat the pastries.

Wang Chunhua said, "Wait for me. Grandma will get it for you."

Madam Qian pursed her lips. This mother-in-law was too biased. The food and drinks at home were also declining. Almost all of them had gone into He Jinbao's stomach.

Su Li was removing the soaps from their molds when Sun Yuangui brought Sun Ming over.

Chen Xiang whispered into Su Li's ear, "Sister, these are the two people looking for you."

"Oh!" Su Li glanced at Sun Yuangui before continuing with her work.

"Ms. Su, we meet again." Sun Yuangui quickly walked in.

"Are you here for me?" Su Li asked.

Sun Yuangui said truthfully, "Yes, last time, you said that I needed to see a doctor. Later, I looked for a few doctors but they couldn't diagnose my symptoms, so I wanted to come and see you."

Recently, he felt that his hands and feet were getting slower and slower. Furthermore, he would faint from time to time. Coupled with Su Li's previous words, he even felt that he did not have long to live.

This realization made him hurry over to look for Su Li. He couldn't bear to part with his wife, so he couldn't die. He does not want to die either!

The things he had bought just now had been taken to the He family's old residence. When he left, he did not want to take them away again. Now that he had come to look for Su Li empty-handed, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Have a seat. I'll get you some water." Su Li moved two chairs for Sun Yuangui and the rest to sit down.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Li remembered that there were no cups at home. Forget it, it was the same to drink water from a bowl.

"Don't mind it. That's all we have at home."

Sun Yuangui quickly expressed, "It's quite good, quite good!"

Su Li asked, "Did you buy all the things I told you last time?"

"I, I..." Sun Yuangui looked a little embarrassed. At that time, he did not believe Su Li's words at all, so he had forgotten what she had said. Why would he still buy them?
