Chapter 77: Smash

"The noodles are here!"

Su Yu felt that ages had passed; she was hungry enough to want to bite fruit, and hearing that sentence instantly revived her.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Su Yu and Liang Yan wiped their hands and wanted to eat, and Xu Youxin reminded them, "Watch the baby; the two people in the kitchen have woken up, I'm going to call Chief Shi and Chief Su to handle it."

Su Yu glanced at the plentiful noodles, hesitated for only a second, and said, "I'll take care of it!"

She can't eat while listening to gossip, yet she doesn't want to miss the gossip! So she has to trouble the uncles!

Su Yu grabbed a vase nearby and rushed toward the kitchen, and Liang Yan hurriedly followed.

Under the terrified gazes of Xu Youxin and the two people on the floor, Su Yu raised the vase high, holding it suspended over their heads, and spoke.

"Uncle, you're disturbing my meal! I give you two options: first, close your eyes and stay still; second… well, great, you're being cooperative, thank you!"

"Stop messing around, okay!"

"I'm just a child; even holding up a vase is tiring!"

"If you disturb my meal again, I'll just pick the second option for you~"

Su Yu trotted cheerfully, carrying the vase back to its place, and gave the following Xu Youxin, who had come over, a relaxed smile, "Uncle Xu, you can now focus on watching the baby~"

Xu Youxin nodded stiffly, sitting beside the stroller and staring at the sleeping infant.

Liang Yan seemed thoughtful.

The whole living room was left only with the sounds of Su Yu and Liang Yan eating noodles.

"Ah—so full!"

Su Yu thought the uncle's noodles were pretty good; she could reluctantly stay here for dinner instead of making a fuss and going home.

Liang Yan couldn't finish the whole bowl like Su Yu, nor did she finish the broth. More than half the noodles and soup remained in her bowl, while the meat and vegetables were all eaten.

Liang Yan touched her little belly and said, "Little sister Xiao Yu, did you really intend to smash it down just now?"

Su Yu slid down from the chair, leaning on it as she walked around to aid digestion.

"Of course not!"

"But you only need to make others believe that you will definitely smash it, and that's enough."

"Look, how quiet they are now!"

Liang Yan nodded; indeed, it was quiet.

"What if they still move around?"

"Of course you find an adult! Things children can't handle should be left to adults."

【Close the door, Uncle Da!】

"What if the adult can't solve it either?"

Su Yu thought Liang Yan was odd, and she said earnestly to her, "That's a problem for adults to consider. Huo Huo, you're still a child, you don't need to overthink it. Moreover, you never said how you know adults can't solve it; just don't let that issue trouble you. Adults aren't getting free meals all these years!"

Xu Youxin: Is it possible that the meal wasn't free, yet still truly unsolvable?

He couldn't hold back and interjected, "Little Chief Su, what if you slip and smash it? Those two people could get hurt."

Xu Youxin saw her looking at him with a strange gaze, and he suddenly felt uneasy all over; she wouldn't want to smash him, would she?

"Uncle, those two are bad guys! And the vase is between them, so if it falls it won't hit them."

【What's wrong with scaring bad guys? Why is this uncle defending them? Besides, I already calculated the position! Looking up with fear makes them think they could be hit, while looking down shows they can't; how could an adult not see that? Could he be in league with those two?】

"But smashing people is always bad! And if they suddenly rise up and hit you, that's very dangerous!"

「But smashing people is always bad! Moreover, if they happen to revolt, what will they do to you? It's very dangerous! 」

"Uncle, I'm only three years old, so of course I prioritize my own safety! Overdefending is fine too~"

【The Blindness, Calm, and Lightning‑Summoning combo cards are ready at any moment!】

【Yes! Host, I'm always ready! Just call me when you need me!】

Su Yu thought of her cards, unlike Liang Yan, and thus restructured her words.

"Huo Huo, if you encounter a bad guy and are sure he wants to bully you, you must strike first. When adults lose a fight they go to the hospital; when they win they go to prison."

「Huo Huo, if you meet a bad person and are sure they will bully you, you must strike first and be strong. Adults who lose a fight go to the hospital; those who win go to prison. 」

"If we lose we definitely end up in the hospital, if we win we don't have to go to prison, and we might even be praised by Mom and Dad, so you must protect yourself!"

"When you meet a bad guy, don't be afraid; hit them wherever it hurts, and your own safety is the most important!"

Liang Yan solemnly nodded, "I understand!"

Xu Youxin: Outlaw! How on earth did Chief Su teach that child?!

Su Xi opened the door, "Are you done eating?"

Su Yu moved over and hugged Su Xi's thigh, "We're full, this uncle cooks great! But he defended the bad guys!"

【It's so odd, they're all picking on his boss lady, and he still says smashing people is wrong?】

【Strange, they all bullied his boss's wife, and he doesn't even step on them yet says smashing people is not good?】

Liang Yan also leaned over, hugging Su Yu, and gave a heavy nod, "Hmm!"

Sensing Shi Xu and his wife's piercing looks, Xu Youxin quickly backtracked, "I'm just afraid Little Chief Su might hurt her hand; smashing people is very dangerous, and if those two suddenly make a big move, what if Little Chief Su gets injured?"

Xu Youxin's forehead broke into sweat; has anyone told him what actually happened?

Su Xi patted her head, "Go play in the room, we're going to interrogate the bad guys."

"I want to listen too!"

Su Yu looked up, her big watery eyes full of anticipation at Su Xi. She just wanted to hear the gossip; otherwise, as soon as she heard the people wake up, she would have gone to call Su Xi.

Su Xi looked at Shi Xu, who nodded, "Anyway, everything that needs to be investigated has been cleared."

Su Xi looked toward Shi Xu, Shi Xu nodded, "Anyway, everything that needed to be investigated has been clarified."

What does this mean? Did I miss the essential part?

This time Xu Youxin wasn't left behind to watch the children; he also went into the kitchen with us.

You all are doing great, taking our Shi Family's salary and doing things that aren't good for our Shi Family.

Especially the steward, Shi Xu gives him a bonus every holiday.

Xu Youxin, like a lapdog, stepped forward and removed the cloth stuffed in the two people's mouths.

Eldest Young Master, it's the head of the household's intention!

Yes, Eldest Young Master, even if you gave me ten chances I still wouldn't dare act recklessly; we all obey the head of the household's orders!

They are all children born in remote, impoverished regions. They were selected by an organization, trained, and then sent here. If the main family is dissatisfied, they will be sent back to the training place. They either use the family belongings they have saved over the years to buy their freedom, and those without enough money are forced to remain there for life. Having witnessed the world's splendor, they do not want to be sent back to that devilish training camp! Moreover, they are reluctant to part with their own belongings!

When you see Grandfather, do you know what to say?

The two exchanged a glance, but the old master had already become the former head of the household…

If you can't figure it out, go back to the training camp.

Eldest Young Master, we have thought it through, and we will tell the truth!

Eldest Young Master, at the time I thought that matter was truly incomprehensible, so I recorded it!

There is no way a father-in-law would look for an affair for his daughter-in-law; it's even more outrageous for a father-in-law to covet his daughter-in-law. He feared being silenced, so he secretly recorded it!

The matter is resolved, we'll leave now.

??? So it's solved already? Didn't they just say all that for nothing? I didn't hear anything! Wulongcha, check it out; I want to know if my guess is true!

alright, Host, I'll investigate right away.

Alright, I'll have Xiao Xu send you; we'll visit tomorrow.

Shi Xu looked at Mingmeng, whose mood was clearly low, and sent Xu Youxin away.

Su Xi, holding Su Yu's hand, and Su Yu, holding Liang Yan's hand, boarded the dispatch vehicle that Xu Youxin had opened.

Forced to be the driver, Xu Youxin turned the steering wheel and asked, "General Manager Su, where would you like to go?"

Liang Yan moved her mouth; she wanted to find her mother, but didn't really want to see Liang Liying and the others.
