It was already the end of the year. So the night came at five o"clock as it got dark early.

There was a small supermarket next to Su Xingche"s place. She went to the small supermarket and bought baby cream, hand cream, a dozen underwear, a few pairs of socks and a pair of slippers.

She had just taken a shower and didn"t apply anything on her face. Now, blown by the winter wind, her skin was dry.

These skincare products were certainly not comparable to those she made in the cultivating world. She wasn"t in the cultivating world, so only these could be found. In her mind, she was thinking about the possibility of making the same skincare products she made in her previous life. She didn"t know if this world had some of the materials used in the cultivating world.

Did the world have cultivation resources?

While thinking about that, she arrived home.

When the old lady saw her, she scolded her, “It"s not easy for your parents to earn money, they rarely spend money outside. But look at you being a spendthrift!”

Sitting on the sofa, the old man heard the old lady scolding impatiently and said, “Okay! It became noisy as soon as I came back. This house isn"t peaceful even for a second.”

The old lady who had been scolding Su Xingchen, stopped talking.

When the person who was sitting on the sofa and watching the news on the local station took a look at her, he froze, “Why did you cut your hair?”

Su Xingchen also glanced at the old man on the sofa, “It"s troublesome.”

The old man was also in his early sixties. But he was very tall and did not hunch over because of his age.

The old lady saw Su Xingchen"s head and scolded her again, “Men are men and women are women.”

Su Lao for the first time saw his granddaughter"s face so clean. He looked at it and said, "It"s fine to cut it once, don"t dye it when it grows. It"s just different, your face is small and you used to cover it with your hair all the time.”

After that, his attention returned to the TV.

Su Xingchen didn"t say anything. She went straight back to her room and continued to meditate. The old lady outside pointed at her back and said to her husband, “Look at her! Look at her! It"s like we owe her millions. She doesn"t study well and dyed her hair. Now she cut her hair like this. How many girls are like her?”

The old man said impatiently, “Okay! Go prepare dinner!”

It was not until eight o"clock in the evening that Father Su and Mother Su returned.

When the old lady saw them, she immediately complained, “Your daughter is really going to kill me. I just said a few words to her, but she kicked the door. I asked her to sweep the floor. When I was cooking the meal, I was screaming so much that my voice was gone but she didn"t listen. She was hiding in the room and sleeping."

Mother Su was busy in the shop for a day, she was tired and didn"t want to move. When she heard the words, she responded impatiently, “Beat her if she doesn"t listen to you.”

The old lady apparently heard the impatience in her tone, and felt a little weak, “Beat her? How can I beat her? If I beat her, she will talk back!”

Mother Su didn"t speak anymore, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and helped to serve the dishes. She saw that Su Xingchen didn"t come out, and shouted to the door, “You still need someone to call you to eat? Your grandma is so old. You don"t even know how to help.”

Su Xingchen opened her eyes.

This body had just begun to practice and only a trace of aura had been introduced to it.

Not to mention that there was no Bigu* now. Her body in the last world had failed to build a foundation because of her poor physique.

After she came out, the food was ready. Mother Su and Father Su were both sitting on their seats for dinner.

The family table was rectangular marble, which could accommodate six people. When Su Xingchen came, there was no extra seat for her. Her sister and brother stayed in school till evening and had dinner at school, so Su Xingchen sat in her sister"s seat.

When the old lady saw that, she felt displeased, and said, “You only know how to s.n.a.t.c.h your sister"s place.”

Old Man Su was angry enough to break the bowl, he quickly reprimanded the old lady, “Eat your meal!”

The old lady was the patriarchal and her husband was the boss at home.

Father Su and Mother Su were shocked when they saw Su Xingchen. They rarely saw such a clean and refres.h.i.+ng look on her face.

Father Su said, “With your hair cut, won"t you feel cold? Go and buy a hat to put it on, don"t let your ears freeze.”

He looked at his daughter"s face seriously again.

His daughter"s facial features and face were like his, but her eyes were like her mother"s. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes, even the normal expressions gave people a warning not to mess with her.

It looked very unflattering.

It was also the same for her mother, but her mother looked more arrogant than her. She not only had extraordinary eyes, but also had a generous face, wide jaws, and high cheekbones.

However, this was an advantage. Many things in the shop that he couldn"t get, could be handed over to his wife. For example, at the end of the year, to deduct wages if an employee took a leave, or if clients didn"t pay money for car wash and repair, etc.

Father Su should be in front to protect customers from the inconvenience. Mother Su was the villain.

The hard-to-speak and hard-to-do things he couldn"t do were done by her handily. The couple play good cop and bad cop*.

Which employee or customer didn"t know that Father Su was afraid of his wife?

When Su Xingchen didn"t reply, her mother hit her hands with the chopsticks, “Didn"t your dad speak to you?”

Su Xingchen swiftly avoided it.

Father Su was afraid that they would quarrel again. He quickly put a piece of mutton in Mother Su"s bowl, “Eat.”

Mother Su took a few bites of the food and said slowly, “Now I am busy since it"s the end of the year. I don"t have the energy to talk to you. If you want to study then study, if you don"t want to study, just come to me and help in the store. The store just lacks manpower. You can always do other things that do not require you to wash cars. We can save tens of thousands of yuan a year of your school and with this money, I will take the whole family to travel. We can go on several trips in a year.”

Miao:

Bigu: people do not eat food, open the body to absorb energy channels, absorb natural aura, Qi, purge their bodies of harmful toxins.

*play good cop and bad cop: tactics involve a team of two interrogators who take apparently opposing approaches to the subject.

Two people cooperate, one is positive and the other is negative
