Chapter 116 - 116 Recovery
116 Recovery
Not long after the group left, a man in black also left like a ghost behind a big tree not far away.
“My Lord.”
In the backyard of the Su family, the man in black knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Wei Ting.
The three little ones sat beside Wei Ting and combed the fur of the little horse.
The little horse was very obedient but they were more obedient. They were their mother’s favorite obedient babies.
The three little ones did not react much to the arrival of the man in black. They seemed to be used to it and were not interested.
On the other hand, the man in black looked at the three little ones in shock and did not dare to recognize them for a moment.
In his memory, the three young masters were thin and small. They looked malnourished and were constantly afraid. Their eyes were filled with fear.
Now, they were more like ordinary children. They were raised to be fair, tender, and carefree.
“How’s the matter I asked you to do?” Wei Ting asked indifferently.
The man in black said in a low voice, “I… didn’t attack.”
Wei Ting frowned. “Why?”
The man in black said aggrievedly, “It’s not that I was unwilling, but… but I didn’t have a chance.”
What kind of freaks made up that family? They were clearly country bumpkins, but why were they so good at fighting?
He had even prepared his lines. “When you see injustice, help! You don’t have to thank me! See you in the martial world!”
Then, he would leave with a suave and impressive back view! That was the peak of heroes!
However—that family did not give him a chance to show off at all!
Wei Ting was not too surprised by this. “You can leave.”
“My Lord!”
“They’re back.”
The man in black disappeared with a whoosh!
If Niudan was here, he would definitely be stunned. However, the three little ones were very calm and continued to comb the fur of the little horse.
….
After Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, she first enjoyed the three cute children’s one-stop service package—kissing, hugging, and raising them high.
She kissed, hugged, and raised them high!
Alright, who was serving who?
Then, she began to test the grip and wrist strength of Father Su’s right hand.
She did not have any professional precision instruments on hand, but the ancients had their own methods. When Father Su practiced in the past, he used clay, wooden blocks, stones, and weights.
Before he was injured, his grip was quite shocking. He could easily crush a stone.
After being injured, he could not even crush an egg.
It was effortless for Su Xiaoxiao to find clay.
Su Xiaoxiao found another tender bamboo tube and Father Su used some strength to successfully crush it!
He used greater effort with an old bamboo but no matter how hard he tried, he did not feel any discomfort.
Su Xiaoxiao asked him to try holding the weights again.
The weight was only 20 catties. The three little ones hung themselves on the weight. One was 25 catties, and Old Master Su could hold two.
Including the weight of the weight, he held 70 pounds!
To a patient whose hand had been crippled for many years, this was simply a surprise!
The grip during the fight just now was definitely more than 70 pounds. Of course, there was a difference between punching and gripping. In addition, the potential that erupted under danger just now did not represent his usual state.
But Su Cheng was confident!
The day of grabbing a 200-pound saber was getting closer and closer!
“The medicine in the pharmacy is really useful…”
Su Xiaoxiao made up her mind. No matter what, she had to get the third bottle of Bone Strengthening Granules for Father Su!
Perhaps he could break through 200 pounds. Perhaps Father Su would become a peerless expert.
Alright, she was thinking too much.
However, after recovering, it was very necessary to consolidate the healing effect with a bottle of medicine.
Old Master Su’s injuries seemed to have washed away the bad luck brought about by the Jin Ji incident. The family was happy and went about their business.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook.
Wei Ting walked in with his walking stick. “Don’t you want to say anything?”
Su Xiaoxiao took out the cutting board from the cupboard. “What?”
Wei Ting said, “You offended the largest snack shop in town. Did you encounter anything today?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “You mean that? They sent people to ambush us, but we won.”
Wei Ting said indifferently, “You only won once. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t come a second or third time. Aren’t you worried that they have a backup plan?”
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a washed sweet potato and began to cut it. “If I’m worried, will they let it go? No, right? So look, I could pass a day being worried or carefree. Likewise, I could pass a day being happy or depressed. Why don’t we choose to face it squarely? We should be thinking of a way. Being afraid is the most energy-consuming and useless emotion in the world. Besides, isn’t there a saying that advocates dealing with whatever comes our way? I’m so smart. Why would I be afraid of a small Jin Ji?”
If she could not even settle Jin Ji, she could forget about doing any big business in the future. She should go home and lie flat!
It was rare that Wei Ting did not retort her.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at Wei Ting with sparkling eyes. “Are my words very philosophical? Are they very touching? Are you impressed by me and regret not meeting me earlier?”
Wei Ting was speechless.

This matter at Jin Ji was not over.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her stall at the end of the morning. The thugs sent by Manager He chased after her 15 minutes later.
Manager He was very confident.
There were a few experts he had spent a lot of money to hire from the prefecture capital. They were specially hired as guards for families with status in the prefecture capital. They were originally used to show off, but he did not expect them to be used to deal with a pair of siblings from the countryside.
It was really an overkill.
However, in the evening, when Jin Ji was about to close, those people did not return to report to him.
He called his trusted assistant over. “Where are they?”
The waiter said, “Maybe they’re on the way?”
Manager He said coldly, “Didn’t you say that they don’t live far away?”
The waiter muttered, “Perhaps the information I asked for was wrong.”
As they spoke, the triangular-eyed man went upstairs in a sorry state.
Seeing his appearance, Shopkeeper He and the waiter’s eyebrows twitched.
“What happened to you?” The waiter asked.
The triangular-eyed man told him everything.
Manager He looked suspicious. “They’re just three country bumpkins. Are you really not lying to me?”
The triangular-eyed man swore to the heavens, “If I say anything false, I will never have a son in my life!”
Manager He was furious.
It was fine if a few local hooligans lost, but there were experts he had brought from the prefecture city in the group. Had they actually not beaten three country bumpkins?
A kid, a fatty, and a… farmer carrying a butcher knife.
No matter how he thought about it, it was unbelievable!
Shopkeeper He was in a terrible mood!
It never rains but pours. Jin Ji was in big trouble!
Their egg yolks were gone! They could not make egg yolk pastries anymore!
Manager He said impatiently, “If you can’t make it, so be it! Aren’t there other snacks? It’s not like the whole business of Jin Ji is gone!”
The accountant reminded him, “But didn’t we take on Minister Qi’s business? Minister Qi’s mother is celebrating her seventieth birthday. The snacks were handed to our Jin Ji to make. Among them are wife pancakes and egg yolk pastries. Minister Qi specifically asked for them.”
Manager He frowned. “When did you accept it?”
The accountant replied, “When Manager Sun was around.”
Minister Qi was the most respected master in Apricot Flower Town. He was rich, and his son was an official in the prefecture capital. Even the county magistrate did not dare to be impudent in front of him.
It was obvious that if they messed up the Qi family’s birthday banquet, Jin Ji would be in trouble.
