Chapter 39

Chen Xiang wanted to remind Su Li, but before she could speak, Su Li had already walked far away.

When Wang Chunhua heard that a noble had gone to look for Su Li at home, she couldn’t help but spit.

“How can they know any nobles with their poor looks? Don’t tell me they’re in debt outside and they’re here to collect the debt?”

The more Wang Chunhua thought about it, the more she felt that this was likely. After all, it had been so many years. If Third Brother knew any nobles, he wouldn’t have come today.

Madam Zhao, who was at the side, had crooked thoughts and said, “Mother, why don’t I go take a look? If it’s really a noble, let’s invite him to our house. How can Third Brother’s dilapidated house entertain a noble?!”

He would rather kill the wrong person than let them go. If someone really came, he had to pull them into their house.

Wang Chunhua nodded and said, “Yes, you and Second Daughter-in-law go take a look first. Then, come back and tell me immediately.”

She was still worried about Madam Zhao going alone. What if Madam Zhao lied to her?

After a while, Madam Zhao and Madam Qian returned.

“Have you found out who it is?”

Madam Zhao took a deep breath and said, “I’m not sure who it is, but it must be a noble. Mother, you didn’t see it. The fabric on those people is very valuable at a glance. The most expensive material in the town’s cloth shop isn’t as good as theirs.”

The more Madam Zhao spoke, the more excited she became. She wished she could rush over and see the elegance of the noble.

“Is it really that good?” Wang Chunhua did not believe it. After all, after so many years, she had never heard of He Yufeng’s family knowing any nobles.

Madam Zhao said excitedly, “Mother, if you don’t believe me, go take a look. Maybe it’s those people Third Brother knew in the past?”

Madam Qian echoed, “They even came in a carriage. The carriage is still parked at the village entrance!”

The road in the village was too small, so the carriage could not enter. However, everyone in the village now knew that there was a carriage parked at the entrance of the village.

“Let’s go and take a look!” Wang Chunhua threw the things in her hand aside and rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

When they arrived, Su Li had yet to return. Wang Chunhua’s eyes flashed when she saw that the clothes those people were wearing were really made of the best material.

“Why are you looking for this family?” Wang Chunhua asked.

She did not directly mention her relationship with He Yufeng. If the other party was here to collect debts, then He Yufeng had nothing to do with her. If he was here to deliver money and things, then He Yufeng was her good son.

Sun Yuangui looked at the greedy woman in front of him and a trace of displeasure flashed across his heart. However, he had something to ask of someone now. The woman in front of him seemed to be related to this family.

“We’re here to look for Ms .Su to do something!” Sun Yuangui said.

Ms. Su?

When Wang Chunhua heard Sun Yuangui’s words, she did not react for a while. She was about to say that there was no Miss Su here when she realized that there was someone with the surname Su at home!

However, Su Li was already the mother of two children. Was it appropriate to call her Ms.?

Su Li must be lying to others outside. She was attracting bees and butterflies outside all day long. Didn’t she see what kind of person she was? Bah, shameless!

“Why are you looking for her?” Wang Chunhua looked Sun Yuangui up and down, as if she wanted to see if he was having an affair with Su Li.

Sun Yuangui’s follower, Sun Ming, was unhappy when he heard Wang Chunhua’s tone and shouted, “Who are you? Why should we tell you?”

He didn’t like Wang Chunhua the moment she arrived. She had a greedy expression and her tone was especially bad, especially when she looked like she was interrogating a criminal.

Wang Chunhua glared at her with her hands on her hips. “You came to look for my daughter-in-law. How dare you ask me who I am?”

She could now conclude that the person in front of her was not here to collect a debt. After all, if he was someone collecting a debt, would he be so nice?

Sun Yuangui smiled and said, “I’m here to see her so she can treat me!”

The last time Su Li said that he needed to see a doctor, she thought that Su Li was scolding him. After two days, he gradually realized that his body was not feeling well. Later on, he looked for several doctors but could not tell what illness he had.

He recalled Su Li’s reminder last time, so he found the He Family Village after asking around.

“What did you say? You want her to treat you?” Wang Chunhua’s voice was louder.

“Yes!” Sun Yuangui nodded.

Wang Chunhua looked at Sun Yuangui in disdain. There might be something wrong with this person, but he looked like he had some money. They even had a lot of gifts in their hands. Why don’t they invite him to their house first? And they would give all these gifts to her. Su Li wouldn’t be able to take them back even if she wanted to.

“Come home with me first! She’ll be back in a while.”

Wang Chunhua called the master and servant to her house.

Sun Yuangui refused, “We’ll just wait for her here.”

He had asked around and found out that Su Li lived here.

Wang Chunhua rolled her eyes in her heart and said with a smile, “Every time she comes back, she will return to the old residence first. Moreover, she is also eating at the old residence. You won’t be able to find her here!”

With that, she gave Madam Zhao and Madam Qian a look.

Only then did Madam Zhao and Madam Qian react and hurriedly say, “That’s right. Third Sister-in-law’s children are still at our house. She has to go to the old residence first when she comes back. It’s useless for you to wait for her here.”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu stuck their heads out of Chen Xiang’s house and looked over.

Wang Chunhua discovered them and glared at them. The brothers retracted their heads in fear.

“That is?” Sun Yuangui saw that the two children looked a little like Su Li.

Wang Chunhua smiled and explained to Sun Yuangui, “Don’t worry about it. They are just children from the neighboring family. They usually like to come over to freeload. Let’s go back. Third Sister-in-law will be back for dinner later.”

Sun Yuangui thought for a moment and followed Wang Chunhua and her daughter-in-laws.

“Mother, you’re back!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu pounced over like birds when they saw Su Li.

“Have you practiced the words I taught you?” Su Li delivered a fatal blow the moment she opened her mouth.

“I did,” He Qingyao answered obediently.

He Qingmu kicked the stones on the ground and remained silent.

When Su Li saw this, she knew what was going on. He Qingmu must have been playful and failed to complete the work assigned.

Su Li said, “Make it up to me later.”

He Qingmu nodded sullenly. “Got it!”

Su Li glanced at her courtyard. Didn’t Chen Xiang say that someone was looking for her just now? Why was there no one?

Chen Xiang found it strange and said, “He was here just now. He left not long ago?”

He Qingmu said, “Grandma took those people away.”

“Mother, are we going to invite them back?” He Qingyao asked.

Su Li said, “No need. Let’s ignore them.”

She didn’t even know who they were. Why would she ask them to come back?

Besides, it was almost time for dinner. What if they wanted to freeload?
