Chapter 99

99 Becoming Beautiful (2)

Su Yuniang glanced at her. “I’m afraid of being struck by lightning!”

Su Jinniang clenched her fists.

In the central room, just as the village head was about to leave, he praised Fatty Su from head to toe. Old Master Su remained silent the entire time.

Even if Su Yuniang couldn’t see her grandfather’s expression, she could guess that her grandfather still didn’t like the Su family.

It was understandable that some old people had deep-rooted ideas.

However, she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely felt that her grandfather seemed to have an inexplicable rejection of the Su family.

After Su Xiaoxiao earned her first consultation fee this year, she hummed a tune and returned home leisurely.

The entire family sat in the central room and waited for her. The three little ones were also obedient!

Su Xiaoxiao placed the ingots she had earned on the table.

The three little ones: “Wow!”

What a huge sum of money!

Su Cheng widened his eyes. “Daughter, did you extort a big one?”

“No!” Su Xiaoxiao had a serious expression. “It’s the consultation fee! The Su family gave it to me! We agreed that our family wouldn’t extort money anymore! How could I still extort money?”

Su Ergou asked, “Sister, how did you treat Su Yuniang?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Acupuncture, physiotherapy, food therapy.”

Wei Ting said, “Speak human language.”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I just p.r.i.c.ked her with silver needles and pressed her stomach a few times. Then, I reminded her to eat more food that is easy to digest.”

Su Cheng, Su Ergou and Wei Ting were dumbfounded.

Was that not extorting five taels of silver?

At this moment, Xiaohu walked over and covered his b.u.t.t. He said to Su Xiaoxiao with an aggrieved expression, “Mom, my b.u.t.t hurts.”

Su Xiaoxiao carried him onto her lap. “Did you p.o.o.p today?”

Xiaohu shook his head.

Su Xiaoxiao gently opened his mouth and looked at his gums.

Yes, he was getting heaty.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Did you secretly eat peanut b.u.t.ter again?”

Among the three little fellows, Xiaohu was the most gluttonous.

Xiao Hu blinked cutely and slid down Su Xiaoxiao’s leg. “My b.u.t.t, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

It would be strange if it didn’t hurt.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of Chameleon Gra.s.s tea for Xiaohu.

The Chameleon Gra.s.s was also called Fractured Ears in modern times. It was sent by Shen Chuan on the day of the New Year. After plucking its leaves, it would be the same as the Fractured Ears she had eaten in her previous life.

She had prepared it twice, but unfortunately, her family was not used to it. Xiaohu was not used to drinking it either and stuck out his tongue in disdain.

His big grape-like eyes darted around as he raised his small hand and pointed out, “Mom, Grandpa called me.”

With that, he put down the small bowl in his hand and slipped away!

Su Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused. She drank the Chameleon tea that Xiao Hu had not finished.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to her room, Wei Ting was already in the room. He had just taken off his cotton clothes and looked like he was preparing to go to bed.

He did not have overly exaggerated muscles on his body, but his tight muscles and strong waist all highlighted his top-notch figure.

Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze lingered on him for a while, satisfying the infatuated instincts of this body before going to do her own thing.

She brought over a basin of clear water and carefully placed the jade pendant that Father Su had given her.

Wei Ting subconsciously took a look.

Su Xiaoxiao caught it.

Su Xiaoxiao showed off. “Our family heirloom!”

Wei Ting looked up at the barren house as if to say, “With your family’s conditions, can there be an heirloom?”

Su Xiaoxiao brought the basin over. “Hmph, I’ll broaden your horizons! Here!”

Wei Ting only glanced at it and recognized it as a piece of real jade.

“This is half of a set,” he said.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Impressive, you know your stuff!”

Wei Ting said indifferently, “It’s not rare.”

What was rare was the jade material. The family heirloom this girl had was really a high-grade jade.

“Did you rob it?” Wei Ting said.

Su Xiaoxiao said righteously, “I already said it’s an heirloom! It’s pa.s.sed down from generation to generation!”

This kind of jade was extremely rare on the market. If it was really inherited, how ill.u.s.trious would the family be?

Wei Ting naturally did not believe her, but he did not take a piece of jade to heart.

He was more concerned about his token. He had searched the east room inside and out, but there was no sign of the token.

Where exactly did this girl hide the token?

“Wei Ting! You touched my undergarments!” Su Xiaoxiao was about to take a shower when she opened the closet and realized something.

Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “I didn’t.”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her undergarment and turned to glare at him fiercely. “The flowers in my undergarment were facing south! They’re facing north now!”

“You remembered wrongly.” Wei Ting’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He lay flat under the blanket and said extremely seriously, “I didn’t if I said so.”

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and strode over. She reached out and touched his chest!

Wei Ting was shocked. “You touched me?”

“I didn’t!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled evilly and said, “I didn’t if I said so!”

....

Unknowingly, more than half of the Spring Festival had pa.s.sed.

Su Xiaoxiao’s business would open after the New Year, but she could not really wait until the New Year was over before doing anything. Many things had to be prepared in advance.

On the tenth day of the new year, Little Wu brought Liu Ping to her door.

It was Su Xiaoxiao who called them over to discuss work. Initially, Su Xiaoxiao was a little worried that it would arouse disgust if she asked someone to do things before the New Year.

Little did she know that the couple was extremely happy about it.

Ever since they split up, they were much more relaxed than before. At the same time, they were much free.

It did not feel good to be bored. When they heard that they were going to start work, the two of them were extremely enthusiastic.

Su Xiaoxiao invited them into the central room and served them snacks.

This was the first time Liu Ping went to the Su family. Although he had heard from Little Wu that the Su family had changed, he still felt a little uneasy.

“Brother Liu, have some tea.” Su Xiaoxiao poured a cup of hot tea for him.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t trouble yourself!” He stood up and took it with both hands.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Brother Liu, you don’t have to be so polite. You have to come often in the future.”

“Ah, yes, yes.” Liu Ping sat down awkwardly and took a sip of tea nervously. It was so hot that his soul left his body!

“Daya.” Madam Wu looked at Su Xiaoxiao without blinking. “Have you lost weight?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “You can tell?”

Madam Wu nodded and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Your face... seems to have shrunk.”

It was not that her face had seemed to have shrunk. It really did!

After the mistake last time, Su Xiaoxiao found an opportunity to weigh herself again. After removing her clothes, it was 180 pounds!

She had lost a total of 20 pounds!

However, her foundation was too big. In addition, she had lost a lot of weight in the early stages, so the change in her appearance was not too big at present. Wei Ting was the first to notice that she had lost weight, and Little Wu was the second.

“You look better too. Your face...” At this point, Madam Wu actually mustered her courage and reached out to pinch Su Xiaoxiao’s face.

This frightened Liu Ping!

In his internal dialogue, he was saying, “Wife! Let’s not be stupid! You’re pinching the little bully of the Su family! If she slaps us both, the two of us would fall face flat!”

Madam Wu muttered, “It seems to be much more delicate.”

It was not that Madam Wu had pinched her before, but that Su Xiaoxiao’s skin was visibly rough in the past and her skin color was uneven.

Su Xiaoxiao had looked in the mirror and felt that she was a fat beauty. That was because, in ancient times, there were only bronze mirrors or water vats. How could one tell her skin color?

Her skin had indeed become delicate. She could feel it when she washed her face every day.

A standard diet with less sugar and oil could improve the condition of the skin to a certain extent, but it was not possible to transform it to this degree.

Could it be that... the multivitamins in the pharmacy had hidden effects?
