657 Understanding

She went to get water to wash Madam Wang and Old Master Su.

Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s families ignored her.

Su Xiaozhi was also silent as she cleaned up for Madam Wang and Old Master Su. After cleaning up, Madam Wang and Old Master Su fell asleep before Su Xiaozhi left the Su family and went home.

After Su Xiaozhi left, no one from Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s families went to the main house.

Madam Li and Madam Zhou could not wait for Madam Wang and Old Master Su to die as soon as possible. Since Su Dalang and Su Erlang did not say anything, it was even more impossible for them to take the initiative to do anything. They had suffered enough in the past. It was not easy for them to endure until Old Master Su collapsed and Madam Wang could not get out of bed, so they did not serve him.

Su Xiaozhi was willing to serve them, so they let her do it.

Their return here was only temporary anyway.

Su Xiaolu also left after Su Xiaozhi left.

She thought for a moment and went to look for the village chief.

When Old Master Wang saw Su Xiaolu, he did not recognize her.

Su Xiaolu smiled at him and introduced herself. “Grandpa Village Chief, it’s me, Su Xiaolu, Su Sanlang’s youngest daughter.”

Old Master Wang was overjoyed. “It’s Xiaolu. I said that you looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure. You’re dressed like a man. I couldn’t recognize you for a moment. Don’t take it to heart.”

The Su family had entered the capital and become rich.

However, they left the sauerkraut and pickles business in the village. The village relied on this to earn money every year. This income also made the family much better.

Now that Su Xiaolu had returned, Old Master Wang naturally treated her as an honored guest.

He called his wife to kill a chicken for her.

Su Xiaolu hurriedly said, “No need, no need. Grandpa Village Chief, I came back this time to enter the fog. Coincidentally, there are some things at home that puzzle me, so I came to ask Grandpa for information.”

Su Xiaolu did not beat around the bush. She explained her intentions.

Old Master Wang also took it seriously. He sighed and said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, this is what happened.”

At first, when Su Dalang and Su Erlang found out that Su Chong and Su Hua had both become top scorers, and that Teacher Lin’s family and the Sun family had also left the town, the two brothers came up with an idea and prepared to bring their families to live in the town.

They even said that Su Sanlang was a member of the family. After all, they were brothers who were related by blood.

Old Master Su tried to stop them. It was unknown if it was Su Dalang or Su Erlang who accidentally pushed him, but he fell and could no longer move.

Then, Su Dalang and Su Erlang moved into the house.

Madam Wang went to look for Su Xiaozhi, but Madam Cao stopped her. Su Xiaozhi still did not listen to Madam Cao.

In a fit of anger, Madam Cao brought her two grandsons to replace the land and returned to Xiaohu Village.

Su Xiaozhi stayed behind to take care of Madam Wang and Old Master Su.

Old Master Su could no longer get up. Su Xiaozhi wanted to stay over, but Old Master Su refused. Su Xiaozhi wanted them to stay with her, but Old Master Su refused that too.

That was why Su Xiaozhi sent food every day and came over every day to take care of him meticulously.

As for Madam Wang, she vented all her anger on Su Xiaozhi. She either hit or scolded her. She never said a good word. Just three months ago, Madam Wang’s legs were suddenly broken and she could not get out of bed. However, she hit and scolded Su Xiaozhi even more.

Su Xiaozhi still came to take care of the old couple every day.

After Old Master Wang finished speaking, he sighed softly. “That’s what happened. Your aunt is kind-hearted, but she didn’t meet good parents.”

Su Xiaozhi could not cut ties with them as decisively as Su Sanlang.

Thinking of the beatings and scoldings Su Xiaozhi had suffered, everyone in the village shook their heads. They felt that she was very pitiful, but they also felt that she deserved it.

In the village, because of the precedent of Su Sanlang and Chen Hu, every family treated their girls better. Coupled with the fact that their lives were better, every family would only occasionally argue, and they were generally very harmonious.

The girls who were married off returned to visit their parents’ homes happily. It was precisely because of an example like Su Xiaozhi that everyone felt that the current situation was very good. After all, no matter how bad it was, it could not be worse than Su Xiaozhi.

Speaking of Su Xiaozhi, Old Master Wang sighed. He didn’t know what to say about her.

He couldn’t say she was bad because she was beaten and scolded for the sake of taking care of her parents. This proved that she was a filial girl. Without her care, how could Old Master Su and Madam Wang have survived until now?

When people talked about Su Xiaozhi, they were actually a little envious of Madam Wang and Old Master Su.

However, these were other people’s family matters. If Su Xiaozhi was willing to endure it, who could say anything? Su Xiaozhi was a good person. The villagers got along well with her.

Old Master Wang’s thoughts surged. He looked at Su Xiaolu, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Thank you for telling me, Grandpa. It’s getting late. I have something on, so I’ll go back first.”

Su Xiaolu’s expression was calm. She stood up and bade farewell.

Old Master Wang stood up to send her off.

After leaving the village chief’s house, Su Xiaolu left the village.

She rode her horse and looked back at the fog shrouding the deep mountains of Southern Mountain Village. She patted the horse and headed in a certain direction.

She remembered that the first time she came to Xiaohu Village was because she found out that her uncle was seriously ill.

Back then, when Hu Daniu was seriously ill, Su Xiaozhi also bore a lot of pressure.

Su Xiaolu’s heart ached for her aunt. Her heart ached for Su Xiaozhi that she could not let go of her hatred.

Su Xiaozhi had chosen this herself. Su Sanlang had also chosen his own path. Whether it was good or bad, they both had a clear conscience.

Su Xiaolu came to Xiaohu Village to see her two cousins.

When Su Xiaolu arrived, Madam Cao was busy. Her body was in good condition, so she was not idle at all.

“Grandma Cao.”

Su Xiaolu called out to her. Madam Cao looked at Su Xiaolu and immediately smiled. “Is it Xiaolu?”

Madam Cao’s eyes were not very good, so her vision was a little blurry. She recognized Su Xiaolu from her voice.

Su Xiaolu went over and answered as she held Madam Cao’s hand, “It’s me.”

Madam Cao smiled for a while before sighing. “Xiaolu, you’re back. You should know, right…”

Su Xiaolu patted the back of Madam Cao’s hand gently. “I know. It’s okay. I’m here to see you and Cousin. How are they?”

Madam Cao smiled kindly and replied, “They’re all fine. Shou and Yang have eaten the good stuff you sent over and their bodies have become much tougher. They’ve already learned some martial arts.”

“They can already go into the mountains to hunt. They’ll be back when it’s almost dark.”

Madam Cao had always been very grateful to the Su family. More than that, she felt guilty.

Because Su Xiaozhi did not stand firmly on Su Sanlang’s side like Chen Hu, Madam Cao had always felt sorry for Su Sanlang and felt guilty. However, she could not really do anything to Su Xiaozhi.

Su Xiaolu did not ask anything else. She only asked about Madam Cao’s health and her two cousins. Madam Cao knew that Su Xiaolu was taking care of her feelings, so she naturally would not be ungrateful.

After chatting for a while, Madam Cao asked Su Xiaolu to sit down while she went to kill a chicken.
