Old Man Su was put in a tough spot.
He wanted to refuse, but looking at his little daughter, he simply couldn’t bring himself to utter a single word of refusal.
Not to mention, this yellow lump was something his little daughter had pulled out in the first place.
“Father, take sister along with us. I’ll carry her on my back,” Su Erhu offered.
Naturally, Old Man Su wouldn’t be heading to town alone.
After all, they were going to get gold appraised.
Su Dahu was honest and straightforward, while Su Erhu was quick-witted, so Su Erhu was naturally the one to accompany him for an affair like this.
“Alright, we’ll take your sister with us,” Old Man Su made the final call.
He couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to—he simply couldn’t withstand his little daughter’s gaze.
Su Liuhu’s face was filled with envy.
He wanted to go so badly too.
Dapan and Erpan were also looking on with eager, longing eyes.
However, they knew that their father (their grandfather) would definitely not let them go.
Thus, the uncle and his two nephews looked toward Little Tangbao with unity of purpose.
Little Tangbao looked at the eyes of her Sixth Brother and two nephews.
Her heart softened, and with a wave of her tiny hand, she said in a milky voice: “Together, go!”
She had forgotten that she herself had only just been given permission.
“Wow! Go together! Go together!” Dapan and Erpan immediately couldn’t sit still, jumping up and shouting with joy.
Basically, as long as their Little Aunt agreed to something, there was nothing their Grandpa and Grandma wouldn’t agree to.
Old Lady Su didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; she tapped Little Tangbao’s forehead and said, “Your Sixth Brother and two nephews really know how to wrap you around their fingers.”
Little Tangbao hurriedly put on a pleasing act, a sweet smile bursting across her tender pink face.
“Mommy, best,” her soft, sweet voice was practically sweeter than sugar.
After saying so, she gave Old Lady Su a loud kiss with a mwah.
Even though her mother already had several grandsons, she still retained her grace and charm, making her a truly lovely middle-aged lady.
Old Lady Su surrendered instantly.
“Dahu, you go along as well, and keep a close eye on Dapan and Erpan.”
“Got it, Mother,” Su Dahu agreed.
Su Liuhu’s eyes instantly sparkled with light.
Even though his mother hadn’t mentioned him, he was definitely included too.
“Little sister, after Sixth Brother earns money in the future, I will definitely buy you sweets to eat!”
Su Liuhu hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Little Tangbao.
He knew that no matter what the matter was, as long as he begged his little sister, there would definitely be no problem.
Although Dapan and Erpan were younger and their minds didn’t turn as fast as Su Liuhu’s, with Su Liuhu as a bellwether and Old Lady Su’s constant indoctrination, they also immediately made promises to Little Tangbao about what they would do for her in the future.
Regardless of whether they could achieve it or not, they were incomparably sincere at this moment.
Old Lady Su felt exceedingly satisfied watching all of this unfold.
Little Tangbao, on the other hand, fully understood Old Lady Su’s painstaking intentions and really wanted to tell her mother: You don’t need to worry, Mother, you will definitely live to a hundred years old.
Besides, your daughter really doesn’t need brothers and nephews to back her up.
Unfortunately, her language capacity was not yet fully developed, and she couldn’t articulate such complex words.
In the end, the young and old of the Su family set out together, leaving behind only three women and the still-nursing Sanwa at home.
The moment Qian Yuemei saw Little Tangbao and the others leave, she broke character for the very first time, rushing to clear the table, scrub the pots, and wash the dishes.
“Mother, Sanwa is sleepy. Please take him to my room; I’ll help Eldest Sister-in-law clean up,” Qian Yuemei said with extraordinary diligence.
Let alone Old Lady Su being stunned, even Zhao Chunhua wore an expression as if she had misheard.
It couldn’t be helped—ever since Qian Yuemei gave birth to Sanwa, after every meal, apart from coaxing the baby, she did nothing but coax the baby.
Things like scrubbing pots and washing dishes had long ceased to have anything to do with her.
Although Zhao Chunhua harbored resentment in her heart, Sanwa cried endlessly.
As an aunt, it wasn’t easy for her to forcefully drag Qian Yuemei to do chores either.
“Second Sister-in-law, go coax Sanwa to sleep, lest he cries endlessly in a bit,” Zhao Chunhua said.
Just having Qian Yuemei show this kind of intention was enough to satisfy her.
“It’s fine, he’s just spoiled!” Qian Yuemei said with utmost crispness, “Young children shouldn’t be spoiled too much.”
Having said that, she neatly gathered the bowls and chopsticks, and carried them off to the kitchen.
Zhao Chunhua: “…”
Why did something feel a bit off?
Did Second Brother’s wife take the wrong medicine today?
