General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Did Manager Sun really think that everything would be fine after buying her formulae?

That was just the beginning of another business. One had to know that it was not easy to take advantage of a little village girl!

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care if Manager Sun could see through her. After all, he couldn’t do anything to her.

He needed the ingredients for the yolk pastry, and she was the only one in town who could make it. Unless he gave up on this snack, he had to buy it from her.

He had already spent 15 taels of silver on this formula. If he really gave up, would he be able to bear it? Would he be able to explain it to his boss?

What was that saying? Good hunters often appear as prey.

From the moment Manager Sun targeted her formulae, the situation today was destined.

Indeed, Manager Sun had another option-to buy goods from further away.

But if he could, why would he look for her here?

It could be seen that the cost of buying goods elsewhere was far higher than the budget that Manager Sun could use for the ingredients.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao agreed to supply Jin Ji with salted egg yolk for eight copper coins per piece. This was much more profitable than selling the formula.

After the first batch of orders was made in spring, Manager Sun suggested that they try it first and pay when they were satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao understood that Manager Sun wanted to ask around during the new year to see if there were any other supply channels.

The snacks were sold out at noon.

For the next two days, there were almost no customers on the streets, and most of the shops were closed.

After selling the last pancake, Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “Close the stall! Our business this year is over!”

Su Ergou was not satisfied. “So fast.”

“Not soon. It’s already afternoon.” In the past, when they set up their stall, they could sell them all in less than an hour. It had never been past noon.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Tomorrow is the new year. Look, there’s no one on the streets. The market is about to close. Let’s hurry up and buy something.”

“Sister, what do you want to buy?” Su Ergou asked.

“I want to buy some peanuts and see what else is missing,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou said happily, “I like peanuts!”

Peanuts were indeed not bad. They could be fried, made into peanut crisps, and ground into peanut butter.

Peanut butter was good nutrition for weight loss. Not only could it replenish the high-quality fat needed by the body, but it could also increase the sense of satiety. If she ate it on an empty stomach, she would not need to eat for a long time.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the market, the peanut seller had already packed up.

They would not set up their stall again this year.

Su Ergou looked at the mostly empty market. “Sister, we can’t buy peanuts.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed regretfully. Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind. “If I can’t buy it here... I can buy it from there!”

Su Ergou scratched his head. “Sister, which place are you referring to?”

Half an hour later, the two of them walked through the thick snow to Spring Willow Lane.

The Fu family’s door was closed.

Su Xiaoxiao had her hand in her warm sleeve and couldn’t be bothered to take it out, so she ordered her brother, “Ergou, knock.”

“Oh.” Su Ergou knocked on the wooden door. “Is anyone there? Physician Fu! It’s us!”

No reaction.

“Aren’t you at home? Are you on a house call?” Su Ergou muttered.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Aunt Fu didn’t set up her stall. Physician Fu isn’t here. She should be. Continue knocking.”

Su Ergou continued to knock on the door. “Aunt Fu! It’s us! Are you at home? Can you hear me?”

Probably because they had made too much noise and disturbed the neighbor next door, a woman in her early thirties pulled open the courtyard door and walked out.

She looked at the siblings and frowned. “Stop knocking! Physician Fu Lang is making a house call! He’s not here!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked politely, “We’re looking for Aunt Fu. Is she around?”

The woman said indifferently, “I’m not sure about that. That old woman never interacts with anyone. Who would know her whereabouts?”

She went into the house.

Something was wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned.

When she went to look for Luo Dazhuang to settle the bill in the morning, she did not see Aunt Fu. After the afternoon passed, she was not around either. She did not set up her stall for the entire day. If she was not at home, where did she go?

“Ergou, climb in!”

Su Er was stunned. “Huh? Sister, this isn’t good, right? Aren’t we not extorting money anymore?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “What does it have to do with extorting money?”

Su Ergou’s expression became even more indescribable. “Are you trying to steal money?”

Su Xiaoxiao held her forehead speechlessly. “I’m asking you to go in and see if Aunt Fu is around.”

“Oh, oh, oh.” Su Ergou scratched his head resentfully.

The siblings did the same thing, but Su Xiaoxiao usually only scratched her head when she was irritable.

Su Ergou said, “Then I’ll go in.”

Su Xiaoxiao reminded, “Be careful!”

“Alright!”

Su Ergou stepped on the wall and easily climbed into the courtyard.

After a while, Su Ergou pulled open the old door. “Sister! Something happened to Aunt Fu!”

Su Ergou found Aunt Fu in the open space in the backyard. She was lying in the snow with signs of struggle under her. There were dustpans and dried vegetables scattered on the side.

“What smell is that?” Su Ergou sniffed.

“The kitchen!” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou quickly went to the kitchen to take a look. “Heavens! The pot is burned through!”

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down.

It seemed that Aunt Fu was planning to bring the washed dried plums to the kitchen to cook. However, in the snow, she slipped and fell.

She tried to get up on her own. Maybe she was old, or she had fallen too hard. She didn’t succeed.

Physician Fu was not around, and her relationship with the neighbors was not very harmonious...

In the end, she fainted in the snow.

“Sister! Aunt Fu is still breathing, right? Make way, I’ll move her into the house!”

“Don’t touch her yet. I’ll check.”

To rule out whether there are external injuries or fractures in the body.

Su Xiaoxiao began to examine her.

There was no obvious bleeding, but her left leg was broken.

“She’s quite heavily injured.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Ergou, go to the kitchen and find a few pieces of dry wood. They have to be flat and long. If there aren’t any, cut a few pieces.”

“Okay!”

Su Ergou agreed.

Father Su was a martial artist. It was normal for him to be injured. He would deal with some small injuries himself. He had followed his father for many years and had more or less seen a little. He understood what kind of board his sister wanted.

Not long after, he hacked a few pieces over.

“Sister, can you see if this is enough?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it and said, “That’s enough. Go to that storeroom. I remember there are clean cloth strips hanging on the shelf on the left.”

Su Ergou said, “Sister, you even remember this!”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Hurry up! She’s freezing. It’ll be dangerous if she doesn’t enter the house!”

“Aye!”

Su Ergou went to get some pieces of cloth.

Su Xiaoxiao did a simple brace on Aunt Fu’s leg. “Be careful when you lift her later.”

Frozen people were prone to second fractures.

Su Ergou moved an old door over.

The siblings carefully carried her back to Aunt Fu’s bed.

Aunt Fu’s situation was very bad.

Although the fracture was not fatal, she had suffered serious temperature loss. If she did not recover her temperature in time, she might never wake up again.
