Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Mom, there’s a kidnapper.

“Woof woof woof…”

“Woof woof woof…”

Along the way, the barking of the three “human-like puppies” drew sideways glances from passersby.

The adults were amused to no end by the triplets, and the siblings became even more excited as they barked, almost forming a trio.

“Cough cough, ah, what’s that? So colorful.”

“Where? Where?”

“Where is it?”

“What’s that? What’s that?”

The triplets craned their little heads, looking everywhere but saw nothing.

Susu bounced her plump daughter who was fidgeting in her arms and changed the subject, “There’s watermelon, do you want some watermelon?”

The triplets, being food enthusiasts, immediately said in unison, “Yes!”

The grown-ups couldn’t help but smile at each other over the heads of a few people before them—it was a familiar scene indeed.

There was no fridge at home and the weather was quite hot, so Susu didn’t dare buy a big one and just picked a small watermelon.

This street had quite a few shops, and more and more people gradually filled the street.

There were a lot of female factory workers, chatting and laughing, as well as quite a few students running around and playing non-stop, and then some, like this group, were just taking the kids for a casual stroll.

Occasionally there were also stalls selling food, drinks, or small accessories.

“Mommy, let’s go down and look,” Lele, the little girl, spotted the jewelry stand full of small accessories and pointed with her chubby finger.

“Brother Lu, elder sister-in-law, let’s go over and take a look.”

The moment little Lele’s feet hit the ground, she immediately waved her small hands, calling her two sisters, “Elder sister, come over here!”

The three little girls huddled together, whispering to each other, only picking up their favorite items to try on their heads.

Susu squatted beside her daughter with a smile and said, “Each of you can pick out two things you like.”

“Heehee, thank you, Mommy.”

An’an scratched her head and whispered into her elder brother’s ear, “What’s so good about this stuff?”

Pingping, with his old soul, patted his brother’s head, “Brother, you don’t understand the world of little aunts.”

An’an, “…”

Brother Lu was amused by the clever antics of the two kids and patted their bottoms, “You little smart alecks.”

Meanwhile, the two sisters-in-law had already started tugging over who was going to pay.

“How could I let you pay, younger sister-in-law?”

Jiang Nan quickly stuffed the money into the shop owner’s hands, “Shopkeeper, give the money back to my sister-in-law, I will pay.”

The young shopkeeper, faced with the two’s dilemma and not knowing whose side to take, finally saw Susu smiling and took the money back, and then the group set out to get food.

“Hiss—”

“Sorry, sorry.”

“It’s okay, just watch where you’re going, man.”

Susu’s arm was sore from being bumped into, and she turned to look at the man who ran into her and shook her head… Such a young man with poor eyesight.

The man clutched something tightly in his hand and when he looked in a less crowded place, he was taken aback.

“Damn! A poor sod!”

The man counted the money in his hand over and over again, only to find two yuan and thirty cents—it was a complete waste of his time.

When Susu went to buy sodas for the kids, she realized that the change she had casually put in her pocket was gone, and immediately understood that the man from earlier was a pickpocket.

Damn!

I’m really done for!

It’s like being speechless as the door opens—speechless beyond words.

These pickpockets are fucking unstoppable; I didn’t even feel a thing and I got robbed?

…

The next day, Jiang Nan arranged the lunchbox business, and the two sisters-in-law got ready early, taking the children out to have a good time while the morning was still cool.

Watching the siblings holding hands and hopping along in front, the sisters-in-law walked behind them, chuckling cheerfully.

“Sister-in-law, you wouldn’t know; Brother Lu and I are so busy all the time. Since the kids came, we never took them out to play.

The kids feel for Brother Lu and me, too. They finish their schoolwork every day, and as soon as school is out, they rush to help me with chores.”

Susu said, “Yeah, the kids are so sensible it breaks your heart.”

“Exactly, sometimes I wish Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue would be a bit more capricious instead of so understanding.”

Jiang Nan felt pained by her daughter’s sensibility. Thinking back to her own wild past, she wished she could go back and slap some sense into herself.

How did she not see through her mother and brother’s character after two lifetimes, still clinging to her man and leeching off him, to the extent that it caused him to bear such severe punishment…

The children were ecstatic playing wildly. Susu, just to be safe, tied cloth strings around the children’s arms along the way.

To prevent them from running off in excitement and vanishing without a trace – two adults with only a pair of eyes each wouldn’t be enough to keep watch.

“Come on, come here and have some water, wipe off your sweat.”

Susu uncapped the water bottle filled with cool water, feeding the triplets, while Tianyu had already taken out his bottle and was gulping it down.

In just a little while, the siblings were drenched in sweat; Xiao Xue and her sisters’ bangs were stuck to their foreheads…

…

After a morning of fun, Brother Lu happened to be working at a nearby construction site, so after eating, they packed an extra meal to bring over to Brother Lu.

“Sister-in-law, you stay here with the kids, I’ll take this to Brother Lu. The construction site is a mess; don’t want the kids to get hurt.”

“Sure, elder sister-in-law, I’ll wait here with the kids. Take your time, no rush.”

After saying that, Susu took the siblings to wait in a shaded spot. Although it was still very hot due to the heatwaves underneath the shade, it was better than baking under the direct sun.

“Come here, extend your arms; Mommy is going to tie you all together.”

After some fiddling with her hands, Susu tied the six siblings together, nodding with satisfaction, “Hmm, not bad at all.”

“Oh my, comrade, are all these kids yours?”

Susu was startled by the sudden appearance of the old lady, guessing at her words with some effort.

“Yes, they’re mine.”

“Oh dear, comrade, you’re so capable. You look so young, but you’ve had so many kids, the oldest one must be in their teens, right?”

Susu casually nodded in agreement, took out a towel to wipe off Lele’s soaked hair, and also dabbed the two little baldies’ sweat.

“Tianyu, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue, wipe off your sweat yourselves.”

“Comrade, how come I find the two little boys look so alike, they’re not twins, right?”

“Oh, these three are triplets in our family.”

“Triplets!”

Upon hearing “triplets,” the eyes of the two old ladies lit up, “My god, this is the first time I’ve seen triplets; so lovely.”

“Little ones, may grandma touch you?”

The two old ladies said, wanting to hug and pat Pingping and An’an’s little cheeks.

The two brothers immediately crouched behind their brother and elder sister, their dark, shiny eyes fixed on the two old ladies.

Concealing her feelings, Susu stepped in front of the children, smiling as she brushed them off, “Our kids are shy, strangers scare them. They tend to bite when frightened, wouldn’t want to hurt you ladies.”

Hearing this, the two old ladies immediately withdrew their hands; they didn’t leave, just stood there, gazing eagerly at them.

“Mommy, there are kidnappers,” An’an whispered into her mother’s ear.

Pingping frowned, “Have daddy catch them.”

The children instantly became vigilant, watching the two smiling old ladies across from them, their hearts all lifted.

“Eh, Aunt Wang? Aunt Li?”
