Hearing Su Xiaotian's greeting, Su Xiaotong remembered that she had come with a purpose.
"Xiaotian, the village chief sent me. He said you should go to his house this afternoon to discuss something."
Su Xiaotong didn't really understand. If the village chief wanted to discuss something with someone from the Su family, shouldn't it be Secretary Chen, Grandpa Su, or at the very least, one of the elders of the Su family?
What was the point of discussing matters with a little girl?
But Su Xiaotian didn't seem surprised at all.
"I know, Brother Xiaotong. It's cold, come in and sit by the fire?"
"No, we're expecting relatives at home soon, so I have to go back. Remember, you can go after lunch."
Su Xiaotong said this and hurried away.
Su Xiaotian watched the departing figure and smiled, "Hurrying away, a bit too young!"
She didn't realize there was anything wrong with what she said, but to others, it sounded quite peculiar.
A teenage girl calling a young man in his twenties "a bit too young" – what was she thinking?
Su Manxiu and Chen Zi'an were returning to their home with young Chen Xiuyuan on the fourth day of the lunar new year.
Grandma Su was busy preparing food for their journey and some non-perishable items for them to take home.
Su Manxiu was helping in the kitchen and chatting with her mother about personal matters.
After returning this time, she didn't know when she would see her mother again.
Moreover, Manxiang had passed away during the New Year. Grandma Su's mood was always not very good during the New Year, which was no secret in the Su family.
This was why Su Manxiu always chose to travel a long distance to be with her mother during the New Year.
It was all to comfort the elderly!
Chen Zi'an, meanwhile, was in the main hall discussing future development with the men of the Su family.
Seeing Su Xiaotian enter, Chen Zi'an smiled and said, "Xiaotian, when are you going to visit your factory?"
This girl was truly carefree, having such a large factory and never going to see it.
Su Xiaotian smiled and said, "The person you found, Uncle, can I not trust them? Besides, isn't Brother Mumu often there? What do I have to worry about?"
"You are indeed at ease!" Chen Zi'an chuckled. "Consider this, how about you come with your aunt and me to visit Licheng?"
Su Xiaotian suddenly felt tempted by Chen Zi'an's suggestion.
Licheng at this time was not as prosperous as it would be in later years, but it should have been largely built. Visiting it now would have a different significance.
Su Xiaotian immediately turned to Grandpa Su with a questioning gaze.
Grandpa Su shook his head, "No, no, you're going alone, I can't rest easy!"
No matter how capable Su Xiaotian was, in Grandpa Su's heart, she was still a child, and a girl at that, so he naturally couldn't be at ease.
"But, Grandpa, I've grown up!" Su Xiaotian said coquettishly.
Grandpa Su was very principled at this moment and simply refused.
"Dad, it's alright, your daughter and son-in-law will be there. You don't have to worry about the journey." Chen Zi'an felt that Su Xiaotian should see more of the world.
This child might have a great future, so she needed to be taught early and shown the outside world.
Chen Zi'an did not know that Su Xiaotian was a person who had returned from decades later and had seen a lot about the outside world and its development.
Grandpa Su shook his head, "When she returns, won't she be alone?"
Chen Zi'an was speechless!
Indeed, that was the case. He wouldn't have the free time to send Su Xiaotian back.
"Grandpa, I'll accompany Xiaotian!" Su Ciliang happened to overhear their conversation. "I also have some understanding of the factory, and I can help Xiaotian when we go!"
Su Ciliang had spent nearly a year in Licheng. If anyone in the Su family was most familiar with Luxiangxiang Food Processing Plant, it was Su Ciliang.
Su Xiaotian quickly ran over and hugged Su Ciliang's arm, saying, "Thank you so much, Second Brother! I knew Second Brother was the best!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaosi was displeased.
Why was Second Brother the best? Su Dan Novel Network
"Xiaotian, how can you hurt Fourth Brother's feelings like this? Isn't Fourth Brother good too? Just because Fourth Brother doesn't have time to accompany you to Licheng?"
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Su Xiaosi. "Is it about not having time to accompany me? It's about whether you put me in your heart. Second Brother already has a girlfriend, and he's still so good to me, much more reliable than you!"
Su Xiaosi: "..."
What to do when your sister hits you?
"Xiaotian, you're becoming less and less cute!"
He really missed his soft and adorable little sister from when she was young. How cute she was then, unlike now!
"Fourth Brother, you just need to make money. But next time you want my money, be a little gentler!" Su Xiaotian said with a calculating smile.
"That won't do. Everything can be discussed, but making less money is not an option."
Su Xiaosi immediately objected. He was a successful businessman, and successful businessmen should never lose money; it was considered bad luck.
"Xiaotian, how about I give you twenty thousand yuan, and we continue our business as before?"
Su Xiaosi thought this should be fine.
He made money and gave his sister pocket money.
When Su Xiaosi offered Su Xiaotian twenty thousand, the entire room fell silent.
Twenty thousand?
Did they hear that correctly?
Su Xiaosi looked at everyone staring at him and felt a little embarrassed.
"Is it too little? If it's too little, I can give you more!"
His sister must be short on cash because she had spent too much money recently, which was why she was discussing this with him.
He had money, so he might as well appease his sister.
"It's enough, it's enough, Fourth Brother, then it's settled!"
Now, everyone's gaze turned to Su Xiaotian.
The little girl had just gotten twenty thousand yuan like this?
Even if others earned a salary of one hundred yuan a month, that would only be a little over a thousand yuan a year. This little girl had just received more than ten years' worth of salary!
"Since that's the case, Xiaotian, you'll cover the expenses for Second Brother's trip to Licheng this time!"
Su Ciliang had thought he had a little money, but after hearing his younger siblings' conversation, he suddenly felt like a pauper at home!
Twenty thousand yuan just like that – was this normal?
Su Xiaosi looked at Su Ciliang with disdain.
"Brother, how can you say that? Xiaotian is only a few years old this year, and you're still willing to spend Xiaotian's money?"
Su Ciliang looked at his irritating younger brother and said irritably, "Those who know know you're my brother, but those who don't would think we're from different parents!"
"Hmph, it's useless for you to say that!" Su Xiaosi said, then turned and left, ignoring his brother's complaints.
As if he didn't know that his brother also had a sum of money.
After all, he not only made money from selling paintings but also received substantial dividends every year, making him richer than many people. To say that Xiaotian should cover his expenses was too shameless!
However, Su Xiaotian felt that since Su Ciliang was accompanying her, it was only appropriate for her to cover the expenses.
"Okay, Second Brother, I'll cover all your expenses during the trip!"
Su Ciliang didn't feel any better; instead, he felt even more disheartened.
Look at his sister's generosity...
Su Ciliang, who had suffered ten thousand points of damage, instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant!
