He came up with an idea while holding half a bowl of rice. He moved his chair closer to Li Xiu’e. “After eating, I’ll take you to the jewelry store to buy beautiful accessories for you and the children. We have money now. There’s no need to live a poor life as before.”

“Mmm.”

Li Xiu’e was coaxing the baby girl to eat millet porridge when she listened to his sincere words. She was touched deeply and gave him an affectionate glance.

“Xiu’e, eat something first. The food will get cold If you don’t hurry.”

Su Hu’s eyes lit up. Secretly looking at the pretty and delicate side face of his wife, he felt the tender tip of his heart trembling.

“Sit a little away from me, or the children will laugh at us.”

Feeling the stare on her face was too eager and urgent, Li Xiu’e blushed to her ears and whispered petulant rebuke shyly and annoyedly.

“Hehehe…”

Su Hu touched his nose and giggled, pulling the chair back to its original position.

Treasure Gathering Hall was the most famous jewelry store in Furong Town.

Su Hu made some brute efforts to pull the reluctant Xiu’e into the door and walked straight to the counter selling silver jewelry.

“Let’s leave. The jewelry here is so expensive!”

Li Xiu’e was still reluctant to enter the room, afraid that all the hard-to-obtain silver would be spent.

“Eeee.”

The little baby girl was very fond of the shiny silver jewelry. She reached from Li Xiu’e’s arms out of half of her body. Her white tender little hand pointed to a pair of silver earrings and turned around to point at her heart.

“You see, our lucky little doll has opened her mouth. She wanted you to buy it.”

Su Hu was justified. He straightened his back and immediately asked the shop helper to pack the earrings the baby girl pointed to. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the envious Qiaoqiao and Doudou. He patted the counter boldly, making a resounding noise.

“I have three children. One silver lock for each. Wrap them all.”

“Hu!”

Hearing this, Li Xiu’e felt the tip of her heart jump and fiercely stepped on Su Hu’s foot.

“Yuyu, you decide. We buy or not?” Su Hu did not care about the pain in his feet and turned his head to seek the support of the lucky little doll.

“Eeee.”

The little baby girl clapped her little hands and smiled with arched eyebrows.

“If my daughter says it’s okay, let’s buy them.”

Su Hu raised the corners of his mouth in triumph, paid the bill with great bravado, and placed the box containing a pair of earrings and three silver locks properly in the back basket.

“I’m in charge of buying fabric. You’re not allowed to make trouble.”

Only for a short moment, they spent twenty taels of silver. Li Xiu’e was so angry and painful about the money spent. She rushed out of the jewelry store with puffed cheeks.

“Hehe, Xiu’e, you look pretty when you’re angry.”

Su Hu was happy, mouth as sweet as honey, buttering his wife relentlessly.

“Shut up!”

Li Xiu’e was ashamed and annoyed, spitting at him.

“Hehe.”

Su Hu was not ashamed but proud. He casually wiped his face and continued to follow her unhurriedly.

The family turned across the alleyway, passing in front of the schoolhouse. Across the courtyard wall, they heard the sound of children reading from inside.

Qiaoqiao, dragging her brother along with her parents, suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the tall courtyard wall with longing eyes.

“Qiaoqiao, we have money after selling the ginseng. I’ll send you to study in the school.”

Sensitively perceiving her daughter’s thoughts and feeling a surge of heartache, Li Xiu’e walked back two steps and took her daughter’s thin body into her arms.

“Mother! Is it true what you said? Can I go to school?”

Qiaoqiao’s eyes instantly lit up with light, rendering a distinctive color.

Li Xiu’e’s eyes showed determination. “Of course, it is true. I will go to the village head tomorrow and talk about you going to school so you can follow the village children and cross the river to study in the school.”

“Mother, can I hold my little sister?”

Qiaoqiao’s eyes were tearful. She timidly tilted her head, looking at the little baby girl in her mother’s arms.
