Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Fracturing a Bone

Before long, the dim lights of the train station were pierced by the sound of a whistle.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, passengers laden with large and small bags trickled out of the station exit.

Lu Xiaoting waited until the very end before his eyes caught sight of three human-shaped parcels.

"Wife, Cheng He, Xiao Sun."

Lu Xiaoting directly took the two large bundles in front of and behind his wife’s chest, "Hold on, wife, I brought both a bicycle and a tricycle."

In no time, six large bags were piled onto the tricycle, and two more were placed on the bicycle.

As the group slowly made their way home, the sky gradually brightened.

...

Susu flopped straight onto the comfortable bed and slept blissfully almost until noon.

She got up groggily to wash her face and brush her teeth, then was promptly clutched around her legs by the teary-eyed triplets who wouldn’t let go.

"Did Mommy go buy gifts for our little treasures? Don’t you want them?"

"We do, we do."

The triplets immediately started hopping and shouting, eager to see the new gifts.

Each sibling was dressed in new clothes, each with a new toy.

The three boys each had a toy rifle, and the three girls each had a cute doll and a small pistol.

"Biu biu biu biu..."

"Pa pa pa pa pa..."

Pingping and An’an, two mischievous kids, immediately took their guns and ran out to the yard to engage in a fierce battle, not forgetting to make their own sound effects.

"Slow down, slow down, don’t bump your heads," Mrs. Lu watched her two grandsons playfully with a mix of laughter and tears.

Lele silently watched her two brothers running and shouting, shook her little round face, and carried her doll back to find Mommy.

"Baby, let’s go find elder sister."

Susu watched the little girl put two dolls together, muttering to herself, and couldn’t help but double over in laughter.

The three-year-old tot was quite smooth with the word "baby, baby."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already May.

The weather in the north in May wasn’t too warm, and there was a big difference between day and night temperatures.

Many people were still wearing long sleeves and pants, and quite a few elderly with bad knees were still wearing long johns.

The clothing store had new summer collections on display, while some end-of-season clothing with broken sizes hung at the entrance for a discount sale—all at sixty percent off.

Instantly the store was bustling with customers.

"Do you think this looks good on me?"

"It looks great, great."

"Then I’ll take it. Even if it’s a bit large, I can just layer a wool vest underneath."

"Comrade, how much is this piece after the discount?"

Li Xiaoxia quickly glanced at the price tag, "Comrade, the original price is 13, and after the discount, it’s seven and eighty cents."

The woman’s eyes lit up at that, promptly paid, and was so delighted that she couldn’t hide her grin, exclaiming that she had snagged a huge bargain.

Upon hearing such a great deal, other girls and brides stopped being choosy and quickly grabbed their favorites, making sure they could fit into them.

After picking out discounted off-season clothes at the entrance, many customers also went inside to browse. This casual visit surprisingly boosted the sale of summer wear.

Several young workers and female students clustered around the jewelry section, dazzled by the various ornaments, with each choosing at least one piece.

With Zhang Guoming, a man of integrity, present, nobody dared to steal right under his watch.

"Comrade, do you also have belts? I bought one for my husband last time, and he really loves it, says the quality is great.

Now, it’s my dad’s birthday, so I came specially to buy one as a gift for him."

"Thank you for your patronage, Comrade. We look forward to seeing you again."

...

"Old Lu, have you heard? They’re planning to start construction on shops in the east of the city," Susu asked.

"Mhm, I heard about that."

Lu Xiaoting, with his arms around his wife, spoke with a smile, "Do you want to buy one, wife?"

"How did you know I was thinking of buying?" Susu smiled and looked up into the man’s deep black eyes.

Lu Xiaoting’s deep, sexy voice carried a chuckle, "There’s a saying, ’crude words, solid logic.’"

"Hmm?" Susu looked perplexed.

"Ahem, we’ve been together for so long now, when you pout your buttocks I just—"

"Go away."

Susu, annoyed, slapped the man’s arm hard, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"I think, in the future, we could buy a few more shops. Even if we rent them out, we can make money.

And with the way things are now, I think property prices are only going to increase. Buying shops is definitely a good investment."

Lu Xiaoting nodded, his eyes smiling, "My wife is really impressive."

"That’s right!" Susu proudly puffed up her small chest.

The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice hoarse yet seductive, "Then, my impressive wife, let me—"

"Wife, the last time."

Susu hummed and hawed, her body hot and restless with the desire to kick the man who didn’t keep his word right off the bed.

Unfortunately, the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.

"Mummy, mummy, mummy..."

In the morning, as soon as the triplets opened their eyes, they looked for their mother.

Lu Xiaoting directly lifted all three little ones up and carried them to the west room, "Don’t disturb Mummy."

"Why?" The triplets blinked their big eyes.

"Mummy was very tired yesterday. Let’s be quieter and let Mummy rest a bit more, okay?"

"Why was she tired?" The triplets didn’t understand.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu exchanged glances and smiled, skilfully changing the subject, "Let’s go on a walk, Pingping and Anan and Lele. Granny will take you out."

"Oh~ going for a walk~"

As the triplets’ muffled giggles and cheers faded, the group of five, two adults and three kids, walked out pushing a tricycle.

Susu slept until the day was bright and, hearing her sons and daughters’ childish banter, felt her face redden as she touched her sore back.

"Mummy, why did you wake up so late? The sun is already shining on your bum."

"We’ve already been out and back from playing."

"Mummy’s embarrassed."

The little girl even used her chubby little finger to point at her face, mimicking an embarrassed gesture.

Susu cradled her forehead, wondering where these three little ones had learned such things.

"Come on, time for milk," Mrs. Lu beckoned the triplets with a smile.

"Milk time~"

The three siblings chattered away as they hugged their mugs and gulped down the milk.

Susu didn’t miss the teasing look in her mother-in-law’s eyes and muttered a few curses at the culprit responsible for it all under her breath.

...

"Achoo, achoo, achoo."

"Old Lu, what bad thing have you done? Don’t tell me your sister-in-law is cursing you out."

Lu Xiaoting touched his nose and ignored the bunch of old men who only knew how to make dirty jokes. Thinking about what happened last night, he instantly felt a bit guilty.

Clothing store

"Mummy, hurry up."

Watching her triplets run into the store ahead, Susu’s smile was extra tender, "Slow down, don’t bump into anyone."

"Uncle, hello elder sisters."

The triplets politely chimed in their sweet little voices.

"Wow, here come Pingping and Anan and Lele, come inside and sit down."

A middle-aged female customer melted instantly at the sight of the three adorable children.

"Who do these kids belong to? They’re so cute and well-behaved."

Yang Yu smiled warmly and stroked the heads of the three little ones, "They’re our boss’s children, triplets too."
