Chapter 85
85 Climbing on to the Bed
Su Ergou was a little unwilling. “Dad! I only chopped off so much. Don’t throw it all away!”
“I know, I know!”
Although Su Cheng said that, he did not hesitate to throw more, causing Su Ergou’s heart to ache!
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Grandpa will throw with you! Come!” Su Cheng picked them up one by one, held their soft hands to grab the bamboo, and threw.
Crack!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The three little ones heard the firecrackers that they had blown up and shouted excitedly!
“It’s Xiaohu’s turn! It’s Xiaohu’s turn!” Xiao Hu shook Father Su’s thigh, strongly protesting that his brothers had already played two rounds!
It was Father Su’s fault for not being able to differentiate between the three little fellows and often carrying the wrong one.
“Okay, okay, okay. It’s Xiaohu’s turn.” Father Su put down Dahu.
When he turned around, he was carrying Erhu again.
Xiaohu clenched his fists and flapped his arms back. He said frantically, “Grandpa, I’m the one. Xiaohu!”
Wei Ting stood under the corridor and quietly watched this scene. A trace of gentleness flashed across his eyes, but there was also a hint of complexity.
They were very happy here, but one day, he would take them away.
While they were having fun, Su Xiaoxiao quietly entered Wei Ting’s room.
She closed the door quietly.
This was originally a small storeroom. The latch had long been broken and had never been repaired. However, now that the entire family was setting firecrackers outside, they probably would not come over.
Wei Ting had a large hanging scale in his room. Father Su had brought it back from the escort agency when he was on an escort mission. The Host had weighed herself with that scale. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known that she weighed 200 catties.
The big hanging scale required two people to carry the big weighing pole and one person to control the weight.
This was not a problem for Su Xiaoxiao.
She found the scale rod and placed it on two cabinets before hanging the basket.
The quality of this basket was really good. It could even hold 200 catties.
Uh... Was this scale really not used to weigh pigs?
Su Xiaoxiao hung the heavy weights at 200 catties.
She had been trying to lose weight for a month. Logically speaking, she was less than 200 catties, but she was wearing such thick clothes and shoes. Those would add a few catties.
What was worth mentioning was that the weight in ancient times was different from modern times. It was not 10 taels per catty, but 16 taels per catty. This was the reality behind the saying half a catty for 8 taels to refer to two similar things.
As for the exact weight, it was different in every dynasty.
In this dynasty, she had done some measurements with the measuring cup she had brought out of the pharmacy. One tael here was 30 grams, and a catty was 480 grams.
Therefore, strictly speaking, she weighed less than 200 catties.
“I lost eight catties out of thin air! I’m really smart!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin proudly, shook her fat body, and began to weigh it.
Weighing herself was a skill in itself. There was no need to mention that she had failed several times along the way. Fortunately, she could be considered half an expert in engineering. After messing around and sweating profusely, she finally weighed herself.
185!
She had lost 15 catties!
No, there were clothes!
When weighing the scale, none of the clothes could absolve themselves from adding to the weight!
Su Xiaoxiao decisively took off her clothes before heading up the scale again!.
On the other side, Xiao Hu was tired. He pulled Wei Ting’s hand and looked around for Su Xiaoxiao.
“Mother, I want Mother.”
He said in a childish voice.
Dahu and Erhu were still in a good mood, playing with Father Su and Su Ergou.
Xiaohu went to Su Xiaoxiao’s room first.
“Mother.”
He went to the kitchen at the back.
“Mother.”
“No.” He raised his head and looked at Wei Ting aggrievedly. “I want Mother.”
The doors of Su Ergou and Father Su’s rooms were open. It was dark inside the rooms, and there was clearly no one inside.
Only Wei Ting’s door was closed. There was faint candlelight under the door.
Wei Ting said to Xiao Hu, “Your mother is in my room.”
After saying that, Wei Ting was shocked. What did he mean... in his room?
Could it be that after living here for a long time, he really treated this place as his home?
“Mother!” Xiaohu went to push the door open, but he couldn’t.
He looked at Wei Ting. “Dad, open it.”
This door was a little old and the door mortar was a little inflexible. Just because a child could not push it did not mean that Wei Ting could not do it.
Su Xiaoxiao had just stripped herself down to her undergarments when she heard Xiaohu’s childish voice.
“No, no, no... later... ”
She screamed!
However, it was already too late.
The door was pushed open by Wei Ting.
She could not let Wei Ting and the children see her like this. The impact was really not good!
In a moment of desperation, Su Xiaoxiao’s potential was activated. She rushed to the bed, pulled open Wei Ting’s blanket, and crawled in domineeringly!
Boom!
The bamboo bed collapsed!
Xiao Hu was dumbfounded.
Wei Ting looked at the scattered clothes on the ground, then at the bed that had been crushed by Su Xiaoxiao, and at a certain girl lying in the ruins, only wrapped in a blanket and revealing two fair and chubby legs.
“You climbed into my bed in the middle of the night?”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. “...I can explain.”
....
“...That’s the process.” Su Xiaoxiao told Wei Ting about her weighing process in detail.
Of course, she said that after putting on her clothes. Xiaohu was sleeping soundly in her arms.
Wei Ting said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t doubt me. Look! The scale is still there!”
It would be a lie to say that she was not embarrassed by such a huge incident. However, who would have thought that this would happen?
“Why did you take off your clothes?” Wei Ting asked.
“So it would be more accurate!” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You thin people can’t understand our pain at all!”
She was very strict with her weight!
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you.”
How could she expect a man with a V-line and an eight-pack to understand the twists and turns of her diet?
“I understand,” Wei Ting said.
“You really understand?” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened.
“Yes.” Wei Ting nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao relaxed. “Then tonight... I’ll have to trouble you to squeeze in with Ergou. I’ll repair the bed tomorrow. If it can’t be repair, endure it for a few more days. After the New Year, I’ll buy a bed.”
“Daughter! Son-in-law! The firecrackers are finished! I’m so hungry!”
Father Su strode over. “Eh? You two are here. Is Xiaohu asleep?”
He looked at the child in his daughter’s arms and subconsciously lowered his voice.
Su Xiaoxiao touched Xiao Hu’s smooth forehead. “He just fell asleep. Aren’t Dahu and Erhu tired?”
Father Su smiled and said, “They’re playing! They went to cut bamboo again!”
“Why are the two of you sitting in the house?” Father Su felt that the atmosphere was strange.
Wei Ting sighed. “Dad, Daya came to my room and caused my bed to collapse.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I... I was weighing myself!”
Was she weighing herself with the bed? Father Su looked at his fat daughter in shock, then at his handsome son-in-law, and understood something.
His fat daughter was very like her mother back then!
Back then, he was a brat and was so shy on his wedding night that he did not dare to look at his wife. In the end, it was his wife who quickly-
No, no, it had to be him. It had to be him!
He would never admit that he was the one who was pushed down!
Su Xiaoxiao saw his father’s expression and knew that he was thinking about the wrong things.
“Dad! You’ve misunderstood! It’s not what you think!”
She looked at Wei Ting and said fiercely, “Explain it to my father!”
Wei Ting sighed. “Sigh, if you want me to move into your room, just say it. Why break a bed?”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless!
“Ahhh! Wei Ting! I’m going to kill you!”
