Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 6 - Firm and Hard

"Ah?"

Susu shook her head as if just realizing something, and quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, hurry inside."

"Second Su, what are we making here, and why does it smell so good?" Lu Xiaomei had noticed the fragrance from afar and had not expected it to be wafting from her own home.

Susu plopped back down onto the small stool and bowed her head to continue preparing the food. "Mom and I have been setting up a stall selling braised goods recently, and since we sold out quickly today, we're braising some more eggs tonight. Mom said to take some over to Uncle Su and Aunt for them to try later."

"What? Second Su, you and mom are running a stall?" Lu Xiaomei was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped.

Without lifting her head, Susu nodded. "Well, there's nothing much to do at home anyway."

Watching his wife who had been busy from the moment he stepped inside, Lu Xiaoting, despite his confusion, rolled up his sleeves, sat down, and started to help with the chores.

"Mom, Second Brother's back too, let me help you with that," Lu Xiaomei quickly put down what she was holding and went to the kitchen.

Mrs. Lu, sweating profusely from the heat in the kitchen, broke into a smile upon seeing this. "Xiaomei's back. Mom can manage on her own. Go help your Second Su."

Lu Xiaomei pouted and sat down by the stove, "Second Brother's outside already, what do I need to go there for?"

Parents always hope for their children's happiness, and hearing that the young couple was working together, she immediately nodded in approval.

Lu Xiaomei glanced at the door and then whispered in a low voice, "Mom, why do I feel like Second Su has changed into a different person? Before, whenever I came back, she was either lying around in the house or visiting her mom's place. This time she's not only working hard but I heard you two are even setting up a stall outside..."

Mrs. Lu gave her daughter a stern look. "Your Second Su has come to her senses and become sensible."

Lu Xiaomei smirked, thinking to herself how true that was.

Xiao Yu, who had just come out from the latrine, saw the tall man next to Susu and ran over excitedly.

"Uncle, you're back."

"Mm, Uncle just finished the work at the station and has come back to pick you and Aunt up."

As he spoke, the man beckoned the little fellow over and with one motion, lifted and tossed him into the air.

"Hahaha—"

Feeling the thrill of being airborne, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh with joy.

Lu Xiaomei was puzzled, thinking it might be some sibling or cousin visiting. She peeked out and saw an unfamiliar little boy.

"Mom, whose kid is that?"

Mrs. Lu pulled her daughter aside and lowered her voice to briefly explain the situation.

Lu Xiaomei thought to herself, no wonder Second Su had left the Provincial City and returned to the county.

Mrs. Lu, estimating that the time was right, lifted the lid off the pot and began to fill a large bowl.

The hot, steamy braised eggs and dishes came out of the pot, and the fragrance instantly surrounded the courtyard.

Occasionally, the sound of the neighbors' children crying out of envy and getting scolded could be heard.

Mrs. Lu scooped a large bowl each of the braised eggs and dishes for her eldest brother and sister's family and called out, "Second son, later you take your wife to deliver these to your Uncle Su and Aunt's house."

"Mm, got it."

Both houses were not too far apart, and the young couple set off after Mrs. Lu's reminders.

As it turned out, this was also the first time Susu herself was meeting relatives from both sides.

Initially clinging to her husband's clothes, Susu was suddenly jolted, nearly tumbling off the cart, and instantly gripped her husband's pants tightly in fright.

Lu Xiaoting frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable as the area around his crotch tightened, and coughed dryly.

"Wife, be gentle."

"Huh?"

Susu looked utterly bewildered, blinking her big eyes, "What do you mean by 'be gentle'?"

"Cough, cough, you, you might want to hold onto my waist instead."

Seeing the man's ear tips gradually turning red, the belated realization made Susu immediately loosen her grip, and she carefully wrapped her arms around the man's waist.

Oh my gosh, how embarrassing!!!

When they arrived at Uncle Su's house, Susu got off the bicycle covering her butt, which had been bounced around so much it felt like it was falling apart.

"Uncle, Aunt, my mom sent me over to bring you some marinated eggs and pickles."

As the couple entered the house, they happened upon Uncle Su's family in the middle of a meal.

Uncle Su greeted them with a broad smile, "Xiao Ting, when did you and your wife get back?"

Lu Xiaoting handed the items to Aunt, "I just got back today, my wife has been back for two days now. We were selling marinated foods on the street with my mom, and she just made some more, so she asked me to bring some over for Uncle and Aunt to try."

Aunt urged the young couple to have some food, about to get off the kang bed to fetch bowls and chopsticks.

"Aunt, don't trouble yourself, we should quickly deliver some to Aunt's place. My mom is still waiting at home for us to have dinner," the couple said and prepared to leave.

"Alright, alright, then I won't keep you two any longer," Uncle said as he got off the kang, intending to see the young couple out.

Lu Xiaoting waved his hand, "Uncle, Aunt, you guys go ahead and eat, there's no need to see us out."

"It's fine, it's fine," Uncle and his wife insisted on escorting the couple to the door.

"Mom, Dad, you all should try it too, the pickles that my aunt and uncle sent over are really delicious."

As soon as the old couple entered the house, they saw their grandkids had already started eating, and their daughters-in-law were each snagging pieces into their bowls, as if they were afraid they wouldn't get their share.

Uncle Su shook his head without a word.

Aunt frowned, "What are you, reincarnated starving ghosts? Can't you wait for everyone before you start to worry about missing out on a bite? Not even a greeting when people arrive."

Eldest Sister-in-law Su noticed her in-laws' displeasure and quietly pouted, cursing her mother-in-law for making a fuss over nothing.

But Second Su immediately made a joke of it, "Mom, it's just that the pickles Auntie made smell too good, and the kids have been drooling over them. I thought I'd let them have a little taste first."

"Mom, Dad, you should try some too. Seriously, Auntie's cooking skills are undeniable."

...

Lu Xiaoting and Susu didn't know what had happened in Uncle Su's house after they left. After delivering goods to Aunt's place, they were now hurrying back home.

Having learned from the experience on the way over, Susu didn't dare to take things lightly; after all, the streets in the county were still dirt roads, and encountering potholes was nothing out of the ordinary.

To prevent herself from being bounced off, as soon as Susu sat on the bicycle, she tightly clung to the man's waist.

Lu Xiao, who was focused on cycling, glanced down. He saw two slender and tenderly white hands around his waist, which were squirming restlessly.

Susu, leaning against the man's strong back, let her hands that were wrapped around his waist move a little. Her slender fingers felt something firm.

Wow~ could it be his abs?

Thinking this, her hands became more daring, moving from cautious small strokes to letting her entire hand rest on the man's abdomen, rubbing and pinching back and forth.

She could feel the man's abdomen was firm, with one hard area after another.

A lecherous smile spread across Susu's face, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Woah, these abs!!! Not eight packs? There must be at least six, right?"

Lu Xiaoting had very good hearing. Hearing the woman's slightly lewd chuckle, the wheat-colored skin could no longer conceal the flush on the man's face, and even his ear tips were red-hot.

Accidentally glancing at the man's blood-red ear tips, Susu's hands, which had been touching and pinching, trembled, and she suddenly realized something, her face instantly turning beet red.
