Chapter 19: Sensible

“Don’t push your luck!”

Su Xiaoxiao pulled the blanket over the three children with a dark expression.

The kiss plan failed.

The three little ones closed their eyes regretfully and obediently stopped talking.

The children played happily and slept quickly. Not long after, the sound of their even snores came from the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and looked at the three children who were sleeping soundly. She didn’t even know what it was like to have her mother accompany her, but she inexplicably became someone else’s temporary mother.

Some people wanted to hold umbrellas for others after having been in the rain. However, there were also people who inherited their parents’ cold genes.

… .

It was late at night when the father and son dragged their tired bodies back.

When they arrived home, Old Father Su rushed into his room without eating dinner.

Su Xiaoxiao scooped a bowl of soup and rice and handed it to Su Ergou. “Where did you go today? What happened to Dad?”

Usually, the first thing Su Cheng did when he returned home was to look for his daughter. Tonight was clearly abnormal.

Su Ergou took the soup and took a sip of rice. He whispered, “Uncle Cheng is gone. He disappeared five days ago. Father only received the news today and rushed over to bury him.”

“Who’s Uncle Cheng?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Ergou sighed. “One of Dad’s brothers used to follow Father on a few missions. His legs were not good, so he stopped working. All these years, he had been working as a short-term worker in town and had a difficult life. When Father was in his prime, many people came to curry favor with Father. When Father quit, only Uncle Cheng was still willing to interact with Father. Don’t you remember? When you were young, you fell seriously ill and didn’t have the money to go to the medical center. It was Uncle Cheng who sold the old cow in his family and gave us the money to treat your illness.”

That was when Su Daya was seven years old. Su Ergou was five years old. She was too sick and had a fever. Therefore, only Su Ergou remembered the despair of his family and the new lease of life brought by Uncle Cheng.

Zhang Dao was an ingrate while Uncle Cheng was a loyal person.

No wonder Old Father Su was so sad.

Su Ergou was actually very sad. “In the past few years, the Cheng family has borrowed a lot of money to treat Uncle Cheng’s illness. After Uncle Cheng left, he left behind an orphan, a widow, and an old mother. Not to mention paying the debt, they can’t even live anymore.”

There was no lamp in the room, so Su Cheng sat on the chair in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Dad, it’s me. Are you asleep? I’m coming in.”

With that, Su Xiaoxiao brought a bowl of soup and rice to Su Cheng.

She did not light the lamp. The dim candlelight shone in from the central room. It was not too bright, and Su Cheng’s disappointment was hidden.

Su Cheng did not want to be too embarrassed in front of his daughter. He said in a normal tone, “I’m not hungry.”

Su Xiaoxiao handed him a note. “Take it.”
