Chapter 51: Even Adventure is Worth It

Su Anan poured a glass of water for Xiang Chunhua, a smile playing on her lips. “Sister Liang, there’s no need for this. We all live in the same family compound. A little friction is normal. We see each other all the time, so why would I hold a grudge?”

The cups were identical.

Although from the modern era, Su Anan wasn’t overly particular and adapted to local customs.

At this moment, Su Anan deftly switched the cups.

Returning the cup Xiang Chunhua had poured for herself.

“I won’t drink it. I’m here to apologize,” Xiang Chunhua wasn’t stupid.

“Since Sister Liang apologized, I should apologize too. I was too petty. Come on, Sister Liang, if you accept my apology, drink the water.” Su Anan smiled with crescent-shaped eyes, speaking softly.

Su Anan raised her head and drank the water in the cup.

Very sincere.

Looking at the identical cups, Xiang Chunhua frowned, momentarily unable to distinguish which cup was hers.

However, considering her plan was secret, Su Anan shouldn’t have switched the cups.

Thinking this, she felt a little relieved.

She picked up the cup beside her and drank it down.

In fact, Xiang Chunhua was a little nervous.

And a little excited.

Thinking of the upcoming drama, of Su Anan’s embarrassing and pitiful state when caught in bed with someone, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

She would crush Su Anan under her feet.

Both being the wives of regiment commanders, the gap between them was too vast.

She was unwilling to accept it.

Xin Hao didn’t drink. He also sensed Xiang Chunhua’s ill intentions.

He took the cup and poured the water into a nearby flowerpot.

Then, he pretended to drink it from the lip of the cup: “Thank you, Aunt Liang.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Let’s just forget about it. Let’s keep in touch in the future!” Xiang Chunhua, having achieved her goal, didn’t linger, leaving with a smile.

A malicious smile.

After Xiang Chunhua left, Xin Hao also started to leave: “Aunt Lu… I’m going back too.”

“Wait a minute.” Su Anan stopped him. “You were the one who put the snake in Sister Liang’s house that day, weren’t you?”

Xin Hao, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head.

Looking at Su Anan in disbelief.

He had done it cleanly and efficiently.

No one should have discovered it.

Moreover, he hadn’t clashed with Xiang Chunhua, so no one would suspect him.

Yet, Su Anan asked him directly.

Not a question, but a statement.

Su Anan’s impression of him wasn’t bad, but thinking of his actions in the original text, she found them appalling. “Thank you for helping me get even, but don’t do this again. If they find out, it will implicate your father. This mission is dangerous. Your father volunteered for it to gain merit and change your family’s circumstances. Don’t let it all be ruined.”

Xin Hao, whose heart was in turmoil, showed no change in expression. He looked at Su Anan seriously: “Thank you, Aunt Lu, for reminding me. I understand.”

He could distinguish right from wrong and knew Su Anan was genuinely concerned for him.

Therefore, even if it was risky, it was worth it.

“Aunt Liang has bad intentions, Aunt Lu, be careful.” Xin Hao possessed a maturity and composure beyond his years.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done so many appalling things.

Su Anan looked at the young boy. If he didn’t go down the wrong path, his future would be limitless.

He was very intelligent.

Very perceptive of people and situations.

“I know, thank you.” Su Anan nodded. She actually didn’t want to interact with him too much.

But now, he was the only one who could help her.

It was a contradiction.

Thinking of Xiang Chunhua’s unusual behavior, Su Anan said to Xin Hao, “Oh, I’ve never raised chickens or ducks. Can you help me see what they need to eat?” Xin Hao readily agreed and turned around.

He went to check the bag of chicks, ducklings, goslings, and rabbits.

The piglets were kept separately outside the door.

“They need a cage,” Xin Hao muttered to himself.

“No need, I’ll send these to a friend soon. Just make sure they don’t starve.” Su Anan quickly waved her hand. “You can take them to the yard.”

She could also watch what Xiang Chunhua was doing.

She vaguely guessed what it was.

A chill ran down her spine.

She couldn’t accept such wickedness.

However, if Xiang Chunhua really intended to do this to her, she had already used her own methods against her.

Xin Hao nodded and immediately started moving the chicks and ducklings out of the room: “First chop up the cabbage and mix it with some cornmeal, that will feed them. The rabbits can eat lettuce leaves directly.”

“Okay.” Su Anan glanced in the direction Xiang Chunhua had left and replied, then went back to the room to get vegetables and cornmeal.

She was actually a little absent-minded.

She thought of getting some lettuce, and a pile of lettuce appeared in her hand.

This surprised her.

The space was too human-like.

It could even read her thoughts.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside, and Su Anan quickly went out with the vegetables and a small bowl of cornmeal.

Even Xin Hao was craning his neck to look in the direction of the sound.

It seemed there were many people, and there were cries.

“What happened…?” Su Anan also looked in that direction, thoughtful.

She felt her guess had been confirmed.

“Anan!” Lu Jingchen strode over, followed by Zhang Lun and a strange young man.

Lu Jingchen’s expression wasn’t good either.

Seeing Xin Hao there, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Xin Hao saw Lu Jingchen return and continued his work: “Uncle Lu is back.”

Zhang Lun, who had been following Lu Jingchen, quickly took a step forward, looking Su Anan and Xin Hao up and down, his face full of disbelief: “Sister-in-law, you’re back!”

The emotions in his eyes and on his face couldn’t be concealed.

It was clear disappointment and shock.

Something had clearly exceeded his expectations.

At that moment, Su Anan knew this incident was related to Zhang Lun.

And if it was related to Zhang Lun, it must be related to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Su Anan really wanted to hit someone.

“So surprised? Do you think I shouldn’t be back now?” Su Anan smiled, a gentle smile.

Zhang Lun was momentarily stunned: “No, no.”

Lu Jingchen also frowned at him, finding him abnormal.

Zhang Lun’s scalp tingled.

There had been a commotion, and Zhang Lun had intentionally brought the two to watch Su Anan’s misfortune.

Unexpectedly, it was so calm here.

At this time, the strange man stepped forward and nudged Lu Jingchen with his elbow: “Wow, keeping a mistress in the golden house, sister-in-law is so beautiful!”

Then, he straightened his face and said to Su Anan seriously: “Hello, sister-in-law!”

“Hello!” Su Anan responded gracefully.

“Sister-in-law, this is Lü Zeyan, Jingchen’s best friend,” Zhang Lun introduced at this time. “He was kicked out by his father and has nowhere to go.”

Hearing the name Lü Zeyan, Su Anan widened her eyes and looked him up and down.
