After Su Xiaoxiao put the sweet potato cake into the steamer, she took a basin of dirty clothes and went to the river behind the village.

This was running water that flowed through several villages. Usually, everyone would come here to wash clothes and rinse rice.

It was still dawn at this moment, but there were already many people who came to wash clothes.

Everyone saw Su Pangya show up with a wooden basin and came over. They all thought she was a ghost!

How could there be a day that this lazy woman got up early to work? Were they having bad eyesight, or was the sun coming out in the west!

It was not right, Su Pangya should have come to extort money!

There was a look of horror in the eyes of everyone. And without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to approach, they picked up the bucket and ran away!

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly and found a place to squat by the river.

In ancient times, there was no industrial pollution. The water source was clean and crystal clear, and even the air people breathed was refreshing.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the clothes, spread them on large stones, smeared them with the soap, and rubbed them clean, then beat the clothes that had rubbed with a wooden stick, and beat them again while using the clean water. She did it repeatedly, again and again.

After washing a basin of clothes, Su Xiaoxiao was sweating all over her body.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the wooden basin and walked back. She happened to meet Xiao Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law of Liu Shan’s family, who was walking towards the river with a basin of clothes.

Xiao Wu also saw her and trembled with fear. The wooden stick in the basin fell off, which happened to fall at Su Xiaoxiao’s feet.

Xiao Wu was so frightened, she wanted to pick it up but also didn’t dare to pick it up.

Su Xiaoxiao freed one hand, then she bent down to pick up the wooden stick and hand it over to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu hurriedly closed her eyes!

Clang!

The expected pain did not come.

Little Wu opened her eyes tremblingly, looked at the wooden stick in the basin, and turned her head in disbelief. Su Pangya had already walked away with the clothes in her arms without saying a word.

“She just, just… go?”

  ……

In the Su family, the three little cuties had woken up.

Su Ergou was going to sleep until the sun rose, so did Su Cheng. As for Wei Ting, he was seriously ill and still unconscious.

No one dressed the three little cuties, so they went down to the ground with their bare feet.

They walked around the house, and none of the adults were aware of them.

At this time, there was a sound of a little child’s babbling from the next door. The three of them became curious and walked out.

The one who lived next door was Liu Shan’s family.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Wu, went to wash the clothes. At the moment, the one who was shouting was Niudan, the son of second daughter-in-law, Mrs. He.

Niudan was 7 years old this year, and he was the only grandson of the Liu family.

“Mom, dress me up!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Just wait a moment, let your dad drink the medicine first.”

Niudan’s dad went to the fish pond to dig lotus roots a few days ago, and hurted his lower back. So the doctor gave him some herbs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

The three little cuties stood on tiptoe, lay on the windowsill, and stared blankly at the family.

Niudan had already seen three little cuties, and knew that they were the new little drag oil bottles1 of the Su family. So in his heart, he looked down on them.

He stuck out his tongue in disgust: “Lueee! Beat you to death!”

“Get down!” Mrs. He patted her son’s buttocks, told her son to sit well on the bed. Then she took his clothes and put them on one by one.

“Mom, I want to eat sugar water egg!” Niudan said.

“Okay! I will make it for you!” Mrs. He said.

There were many daughters in the family, but she had a baby son in her stomach. So the whole family doted on her. Not to mention one sugar water egg, even if she asked two, she could also afford to eat them.

Niudan held the sugar water egg that his mother made. With a separation of the window sill, he ate it while making the three little cuties feel envious.

When Su Xiaoxiao came back home with a wooden basin, what she saw was the scene of the triplets watching Niudan eating eagerly.

The three of them were barefoot and poorly dressed.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, she put down the wooden basin and walked over.
