Su Ze put on the ox cart and placed all the things Su Li wanted to bring to town in it.

He Yufeng instructed Su Ze, “You must take good care of the two children. When there are many people on the streets, you must hold their hands. Don’t let them get separated.”

There were people coming and going on the streets. If He Qingyao and He Qingmu were kidnapped by human traffickers, they might go crazy.

Su Ze nodded vigorously. “Brother-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of them.’

If he really lost them, he would have to live in guilt for the rest of his life.

He Yufeng then instructed He Qingyao and He Qingmu, “When you’re on the streets, you have to be obedient. Don’t run around. Don’t eat what others give you, understand?”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded obediently. “Father, don’t worry. We won’t run around!”

Su Li brought the blanket from home. The morning wind was still a little cold, so it would be warmer if she covered herself with a blanket.

Riceball saw that they had all gotten into the ox cart and jogged over. Just as it was about to jump onto the ox cart, a big hand grabbed the back of its neck.

“Woof-” Riceball turned around angrily.

He Yufeng carried it in front of him and said, “Don’t follow and cause trouble. Stay at home obediently!”

The two children were already enough to keep Su Li and her brother busy. If they were to add in another one to take care of, they might not be able to handle them.

Riceball was unhappy and barked at He Yufeng a few times. Why didn’t he let it go? Was it not worthy of going out?

If he didn’t let it go, it would go secretly later. It wasn’t like it couldn’t find the place.

He Yufeng seemed to have seen through its thoughts. He gently rubbed its head and said, “Don’t cause trouble. You’ll be captured to become a plate of food before you reach town.”

“Woof woof woof- I’ Riceball was still unwilling. It just didn’t want to stay at home with this stinky man.

It would go wherever Su Li went. It wanted to protect her!

At this moment, Su Li walked over.

Riceball looked at Su Li expectantly, hoping that she would speak up for it. As long as Su Li said that she wanted to bring it along, it could follow.

Seeing Riceball’s expectant gaze, Su Li chuckled and comforted it. “Stay at home this time. I’ll bring you out next time!” Riceball’s hopeful face immediately fell.

This wasn’t fair!

If He Qingyao and He Qingmu could go, why couldn’t it?

Moreover, it was much easier to deal with compared to them. It could even help her chase away the bad guys. It would be a mistake not to bring it along!

Seeing that Riceball was unhappy, He Qingmu said, “Riceball, don’t be sad. I’ll come back and bring you delicious food.”

Riceball turned its head to the side. It didn’t want good food. It wanted to follow them out!

Seeing Riceball like this, Su Ze said with a faint smile, “If you don’t listen, I’ll immediately pull out the bones you hid in the grass in the backyard and give them all to the puppies outside to eat. You won’t be able to get a single bone!”

When Riceball heard this, it suddenly looked at Su Ze and started barking. It didn’t allow him to touch its things.

That was something that it had painstakingly saved up, and no one knew when it was hidden. How could Su Ze know? The most outrageous thing was that he even knew where it was hidden!

Could it be that he was following it? Otherwise, with how well it hid, no one would know!

At this moment, Riceball looked at Su Ze with an unfriendly gaze.

Su Ze grinned and said, “Don’t worry about how I know. Behave yourself or I’ll overturn all your assets.” Riceball was speechless.

He was too ruthless!

Those things were its life. If Su Ze gave them all to other puppies, wouldn’t that be equivalent to taking its life?!

Su Ze crossed his arms and looked like he was watching a show. He said, “Are you still going? Choose for yourself! But I have to remind you not to lose the big picture because of a small matter!”

Riceball: “…” Go, go my ass!

After Su Ze’s threat, Riceball became completely obedient. For the sake of its treasures, it stopped making a fuss and followed him!

Su Ze’s lips twitched. “Kid, I don’t believe I can’t deal with you!”

Su Li whispered in Su Ze’s ear, “How did you know that the Riceball bones were hidden in the grass?”

Even she didn’t know about this. How did Su Ze know? Su Li was very curious. Su Ze smirked smugly and whispered into Su Li’s ear, “I lied to that silly dog!”

He didn’t know that Riceball had hidden the bones in the grass in the backyard. However, he saw that Riceball often ran to the backyard, and its favorite food was bones. Just now, he had only tried his luck, but who knew that he had hit the jackpot!

Su Li was speechless.

She thought that Su Ze really knew, but she didn’t expect him to be right!

Su Li looked at Riceball sympathetically. This poor puppy had betrayed itself just like that.

Riceball was a little confused when it saw Su Li’s gaze. Why was she looking at it like that? Could it be that she wanted to eat its bones?

Riceball lowered its head and started to think. If Su Li really wanted its bones, would it give them to her?

Seeing it like this, Su Li chuckled. “Let’s go. Riceball, stay at home and help us keep an eye on things. Don’t let the bad guys take them away!”

“Woof woof-” Riceball barked loudly twice, indicating that it would definitely protect the house well.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu sat on the ox cart and waved at He Yufeng. “Daddy, we’re leaving!”

“Be careful on the way!” He Yufeng said.

There were many things to worry about, but he just couldn’t say them. They were clearly just going out for a trip, but they gave him a feeling of separation. This inexplicable emotion made him feel very uncomfortable.

Su Li sensed that something was wrong with He Yufeng and thought that he was worried about the children. She smiled at him and said, “We’ll be back soon. ”

“Okay.” He Yufeng smiled back at her.

At this moment, everyone in the village had woken up. Coupled with the fact that there was nothing to do in the fields, everyone gathered together to chat when they were bored.

When they saw an ox cart coming out of the village with Su Li and the other two sitting on it, they started to mutter in their hearts again. “Look, isn’t that He Yufeng’s wife? Why did they come out in an ox cart?”

“That’s right! Their ox cart doesn’t look like Old Zhao’s ox cart!”

Someone guessed, “Old Zhao’s ox cart is already so rotten. Look, Su Li’s ox cart is still new. The ox looks like a young one. Could it be that they bought it?”

The people at the side naturally did not believe him. They snorted coldly and said, “What are you thinking? Can you buy cows just because you want to? Why don’t you take a look at their abilities? How can they buy an ox cart with such abilities? If they can, I’ll eat all the stones on the ground..”
