Xiaohong picked some sesame sauce noodles and put them into a bowl. She took a bite and her distorted facial features slowly relaxed.

"Oh, miss, this noodle is really delicious. No wonder Mr. Xie eats this noodle at that noodle stall."

Qu Fangling was a little surprised, "Are you sure Mr. Xie is eating this kind of noodles?"

"Yes! Mr. Xie also ate a lot!" Xiao Hong replied casually.

The corners of Qu Fangling's mouth raised slightly, feeling a little warm in her heart.

It turns out that Xie Ru would eat at a roadside stall entirely because of her.

It seems that Xie Ru really cares about her.



In the next few days, Su Mujin's stall was peaceful and no further trouble occurred.

Xie Ru would come to support him from time to time, but most of the time he would let his servants buy it and pack it back.

On this day, Su Mujin closed the stall, and the sky gradually darkened.

When she got home, Luoxue had already prepared dinner, and the three little ones were standing at the door waiting for her to come back.

"Mother!"

When she saw Su Mujin appear, Bai Yao was the first to run to greet her.

Seeing the expectation on the little guy's face, Su Muxin felt that the fatigue of the day had dissipated a lot.

She picked up Bai Yao and kissed her tender little face.

"Are you good today?"

"Yao Yao is so good!"

"Good baby!"

While talking, Bai Hao and Bai Chen also came over.

"Mom, are you tired?" Bai Chen looked up at Su Muxin and asked.

"You're not tired!" Su Muxin touched Bai Chen's head with a doting look on his face.

"Auntie has already prepared the meal!" Bai Hao reminded.

"Okay, go home and eat!"

Su Mujin hugged Bai Yao and led Bai Hao and Bai Chen back home.

Smelling the fragrant food, Su Muxin's stomach suddenly growled twice.

I sold a lot of noodles today and I haven't been idle. I'm really hungry.

Seeing Su Muxin's fatigue, Luoxue suggested: "Sister, my injuries are all healed. Can I help you out with the stall tomorrow?"

"I can handle it alone. You should stay home first. Qiyun's leg injury hasn't healed yet. You need to keep an eye on this place at home."

Luoxue wanted to say something more, but when she thought about it, it was true.

Recently, the number of people selling braised food in the village has increased, and the workload of cleaning pig sewage and making braised food has also increased a lot, so no one can keep an eye on it.

Besides, Qiyun's injury hasn't healed yet and he can't work too hard. If she follows him to the county town to run a stall, it will be a problem for Qiyun and the three little ones to eat.

She could only listen to Su Muxin's arrangements.

"All right!"

Qiyun blamed himself, "It's all my fault!"

"How can I blame you! It's okay. When you are needed in the future, don't yell at me that you are tired!" Su Muxin joked.

"Sister, we are not tired!" Qiyun assured immediately.

"With your words, I feel relieved. Let's eat!"

The family had a meal, washed up and went to bed.

Westinghouse.

"Brother, I want to stay!" Luoxue said, looking at the dark roof.

"good!"

"You want to stay too?"

"Um!"

"Then will they find us? Will they bring trouble to my sister's family?" Luoxue expressed her doubts.

"Probably not. Our current surname is Su, and we are relatives of my sister. No one in the village suspects us. If we want to stay, my sister has promised to help us settle down. With our identities as villagers of Baijia Village, they can't find us at all."

Su Muxin discussed with them the issues left in the past.

Su Mujin said that no matter what their decision was, she would respect their choice.

But Qi Yun felt that Su Mujin was the savior of their brothers and sisters, and this kindness should be repaid.

He wanted to spend his life repaying it.

Ever since he was a child, it was Su Mujin who made him feel at home.

He is a little greedy.

He wanted to always have this feeling, instead of wandering around like a lonely ghost.

The corners of Luoxue's mouth rose, revealing a hint of joy.

"Then I'll tell my sister tomorrow that we want to stay!"

"good!"

From now on, they also have a family.

Early the next morning, Su Mujin continued to go to the county town to sell a stall.

As soon as she was ready, the stall was filled with customers.

The busy day has also begun.

An hour later, the morning meal was finally over.

While Su Muxin was cleaning the table, a waiter from a nearby shop ran over.

"Little lady, we want two portions of noodles. Please prepare them and send them over."

The clerk came here often, and Su Muzhen recognized him at a glance. He was not busy at this time, so it was okay for her to leave temporarily for a while.

She agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll send it to you when it's ready!"

After making the noodles, Su Mujin sent them over.

On her way back, she was stopped by a skinny little beggar of seven or eight years old.

The little beggar was already crying and his eyes were full of anxiety.

He knelt down in front of Su Muxin, "My brother is about to starve to death, please beg aunt to give him something to eat!"

"What's going on?" Su Muxin hurriedly pulled the little beggar up.

The little beggar refused to get up.

"Auntie, my brother hasn't eaten for a long time. If he doesn't have anything to eat anymore, he will starve to death. Please be kind and give him something to eat!"

He begged many people but was rejected. If he couldn't get food again today, he wouldn't want to live anymore.

Seeing that the child didn't look like he was lying, Su Mujin pulled the little beggar up again.

"Don't worry, follow Auntie."

Seeing that there was hope, the little beggar got up and followed Su Mujin to the stall.

But the little beggar refused to go in and stood outside the stall, for fear that he would be rejected and no more food would be given to him.

Su Mujin saw the little beggar's caution and hurriedly cooked two portions of noodles without saying anything.

The boy selling steamed buns on the side saw this and hurriedly walked to Su Muxin.

He whispered in Su Muxin's ear: "If you take care of this today, you will attract a bunch of people in the future! Maybe you won't even be able to do business!"

What the bun seller said is not unreasonable. Similar things have happened before.

The kind-hearted stall owner saw that the little beggars were pitiful, so he kindly gave them food.

Unexpectedly, one little beggar brought many little beggars.

The little beggar was so dirty that the customers were disgusted. Over time, customers stopped patronizing that stall owner.

These are bloody lessons that must be learned!

Su Mujin knew that the bun seller had good intentions and nodded.

"Thank you, but I can't just die without saving you!"

The bun seller shook his head helplessly and said no more.

A person has his own decision and he has no right to interfere.

Su Mujin made two bowls of noodle soup, asked the bun seller to help look after the stall, and then followed the little beggar.

"Take me to your brother quickly!"

The bruises that can be seen all over the little beggar's body are enough to prove that he has been bullied a lot.

Su Mujin was worried that other beggars would snatch the noodles, so she chose to deliver them in person.

The little beggar didn't think much and hurriedly led the way.

Su Muxin followed the little beggar and turned left and right until he came to a remote alley.

There was no one in the alley, and there were still a lot of discarded debris.

Does anyone live in this place?

Su Mujin had doubts.
