Chapter 28

Just as Su Li was about to greet them, the two little fellows ran towards the courtyard as if she was some ferocious beast.

He Erhu even turned back to look at her a few times to confirm that she was walking home before running into the courtyard.

Su Li shook her head helplessly. What an awkward little fellow. He clearly wanted to get close to her, but he had a completely different expression on his face.

When she returned home, Su Li was surprised to see He Yufeng busy in the courtyard.

Su Li was a little puzzled. Didn’t he say that he was going hunting in the mountains last night?

When she went out in the morning, He Yufeng had already packed all the hunting tools and looked like he was about to set off. Could it be that something had gone wrong?

Su Li asked the question in her heart, “Didn’t you say that you were going hunting today? Why are you still at home?”

He Yufeng explained, “I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a two day difference.”

Actually, he was worried that Su Li would forget to cook for the children when she went to the market. When the time came, the two little fellows would be hungry. As for Su Li asking Chen Xiang to help look after the children, he felt that it was unreliable. After all, their relationship with Chen Xiang’s family was not good. He would not expect others to help look after the children.

“Oh!”

Su Li didn’t know what He Yufeng was thinking. She washed her hands and started cooking. There was no time to braise the pig intestines, so she could only leave the task after dinner.

Why don’t I make double-cooked pork and stir-fry wild vegetables for dinner?

When He Yufeng was packing his things, he realized that Su Li had bought a lot of rice and white flour. She had even bought new bowls and chopsticks at home. He could not help but frown.

Where did Su Li’s money come from? Could it be that she had not spent all the money she had taken from him in the past? However, that was unlikely!

He thought of the soap that Su Li had been tossing around a few days ago. Could it be the money earned from selling soap?

No matter where the money came from, it was definitely not possible to spend it like this. Life was already so difficult. How could he eat white rice and noodles every day!

He Yufeng decided to have a good talk with Su Li.

When Su Li returned from picking wild vegetables, she saw He Yufeng standing in the courtyard with a cold expression, as if he was waiting for someone.

Su Li walked past He Yufeng with the wild vegetables. She didn’t care if he was waiting for anyone or not. In any case, he wasn’t waiting for her!

He Yufeng, who had been ignored, took a deep breath and walked to Su Li’s side.

“Su Li…”

“Here, wash the wild vegetables!”

Su Li thought that he was looking for work and stuffed the wild vegetables that had yet to be washed into his hand.

He Yufeng was speechless.

After Su Li’s processing, a delicious dinner was freshly prepared.

He Yufeng looked at the hot food on the table and fell into a daze. These few days had been like a dream for so many years. No, in the past, he didn’t even dare to imagine such a day in his dreams.

Although his marriage with Su Li was an accident, the raw rice had already been cooked. In addition, she had also given birth to two children. He had once wanted to live a good life with Su Li, but Su Li did not think so. She had never cared about the children or the family. She even felt that they were a burden.

Su Li waved her hand in front of He Yufeng and said, “Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and eat.”

He Yufeng came back to his senses and said, “Don’t spend money recklessly in the future. Leave some for the winter.”

Su Li picked up some food with her chopsticks. “I’m not messing around. Those are what our family needs. Why don’t you take a look at what the children look like? How can I not nourish them?”

At the mention of the children, He Yufeng fell silent.

He Dahu and He Erhu buried their heads in their food and didn’t dare to make a sound, afraid that they would be the ones being scolded later.
