666 Going In Alone
Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaozhi coldly. Su Xiaozhi felt that his cold gaze was too painful, forcing her to face the truth she was unwilling to face.
When had she ever said these words in front of Madam Wang? Even if she was beaten up, she would only cry. She did not dare to.
Hu Changshou forced her to face the embarrassing truths she had avoided.
Madam Wang tortured her. She tortured Hu Changshou and the others. She was really the same as Madam Wang. She also kept saying that she loved her children and was doing everything for their own good, but she tortured them to the point that they wanted to die.
The joy of obtaining a piece of gold had long been extinguished. Only more heartache surged in her heart.
Hu Changshou closed his eyes and let Su Xiaozhi cry in pain.
After Su Xiaozhi cried, she slowly calmed down.
At dawn the next day, Su Xiaozhi circled around Hu Changshou uneasily.
Hu Changshou opened his eyes, which were still cold and bloodshot. He looked at Su Xiaozhi and said, “It’s going to be a day soon. If you don’t take my life, I’m leaving.”
Su Xiaozhi’s tears fell like rain. “Shou, how can I do this? How can I take your life? I didn’t do this to take your life. I just want you to live well…”
Hu Changshou sneered. “Why can’t you do it? Didn’t you already take away half of my chance to live? You might as well take the rest. I owe you. I should return it to you.”
Su Xiaozhi looked like she was avoiding him. “No, no, no…”
Hu Changshou ignored her. He looked up at the sky and slowly got up. After kneeling for a day and night, his knees hurt and were stiff. He walked unnaturally.
Su Xiaozhi wanted to stop Hu Changshou, but Hu Changshou did not stop at all. He did not even hesitate. Only his cold and heartless voice entered Su Xiaozhi’s ears.
“If you want to kill me with a knife, come. I’ll give you my life back.”
Apart from this, Hu Changshou didn’t say anything else.
He could not walk fast. If Su Xiaozhi wanted to kill him, she could definitely catch up.
Su Xiaozhi only staggered a few steps before kneeling on the ground. She watched as Hu Changshou walked further and further away. She regretted it. If she knew this, she wouldn’t have stopped Hu Changshou from following Su Xiaolu yesterday.
Su Xiaozhi slapped herself like a lunatic. Her madness did not make Hu Changshou turn around. There was only his gradually disappearing back.
Su Xiaozhi sat on the ground numbly for a long time.
She seemed to have lost her soul and was like a walking corpse doing what she remembered in her mind.
She cooked and washed the clothes before sending them to Old Master Su and Madam Wang.
When she was done and opened the door, she was stopped by a figure. She looked at the child in front of her in a daze and said in a hoarse voice, “Child, do you need my help?”
“Thank you. I don’t need you to help me. I’m here to help you.”
Little Niu smiled kindly.
“Help me?”
Su Xiaozhi looked a little confused. Then, she smiled bitterly. “You can’t help me. No one can.”
Su Xiaozhi didn’t say anything else. She walked past Little Niu and headed into the village.
Su Xiaozhi did not expect Su Dalang and Su Erlang to walk towards her angrily as soon as she entered the courtyard.
Su Dalang slapped Su Xiaozhi’s face first. “B*tch, what did you feed Father and Mother last night? You poisoned Father and Mother. I thought that you were kind. I didn’t expect you to be a vicious woman. You actually poisoned your own father and mother.”
Su Erlang also berated loudly, “You’ve disappointed me too much. I thought you were taking care of Father and Mother out of goodwill, but I didn’t expect you to have such a malicious intention.”
Su Xiaozhi looked confused. “What’s wrong with Father and Mother?”
She looked around in a daze and saw the white sail hanging in the house. She saw the two coffins parked in the central room. Su Xiaozhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
The Su family’s commotion had already attracted the attention of their neighbors.
Everyone came to take a look.
Su Dalang and Su Erlang had already angrily told everyone what had happened. Everyone sighed when they heard this.
But who knew the truth about this family?
“We’ll know if what we’re saying is true when we see if there’s any dirt on Su Xiaozhi.”
Madam Li’s arrogance soared. She shouted and searched her body with Madam Zhou.
When the piece of gold was found, Madam Li and Madam Zhou’s eyes widened. Everything seemed to have an explanation.
Su Xiaozhi seemed to have fallen into chaos. She did not know how many punches had landed on her.
How much hair had been pulled out? Her entire body hurt everywhere.
The dirty and smelly sewage was poured on her and she was chased out of the Su family.
She did not even have a chance to defend herself. She clearly had a mouth, but she did not seem to know how to speak. She only saw many people opening and closing their mouths. Su Xiaozhi felt a pain in her heart and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She was dragged far away by Madam Li and Madam Zhou before being thrown down. Su Xiaozhi could not get up for a long time.
Madam Li and Madam Zhou had already returned. The two families began to hold Madam Wang and Old Master Su’s funerals.
A villager passed by Su Xiaozhi and sighed helplessly.
Su Xiaozhi recovered and staggered home.
From afar, she saw that Little Niu was still at her door.
She walked up to Little Niu, her face ashen and her eyes lifeless. “You’re here to help me. How are you going to help me?”
Little Niu smiled warmly and kindly. “If the fated person agrees, they will know.”
“Then you help me. Then you help me.”
Su Xiaozhi reached out with trembling hands and grabbed Little Niu’s sleeve.
“If the fated person agrees to use a tear as payment, our deal will be sealed.”
Little Niu’s expression did not change as he said calmly.
Su Xiaozhi’s eyes darkened. “Do you want payment?”
“Yes, all contact in this world seeks a return, right?”
Little Niu asked calmly and gently.
Su Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth and looked at Little Niu for a while. She asked, “Will there be a return?”
Little Niu shook his head. “Some will, some won’t.”
Su Xiaozhi clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment. “You said it yourself. Some will be rewarded, and some will not. You might not be rewarded for helping me, but if you don’t help me, you definitely won’t be rewarded. So what reward? We’ll talk about it after you help me.”
Hearing Su Xiaozhi’s words, Little Niu smiled. His smile did not change. It was kind, bright, and warm. His tone was calm. “The fated person is right, but if there’s no return, I can choose not to do it. In my opinion, I definitely won’t do anything without return. If the fated person is unwilling to agree, then goodbye.”
With that, Little Niu turned around and left slowly, tapping his cane. He didn’t hesitate at all and had no intention of turning back.
Su Xiaozhi looked at Little Niu’s figure and felt that it was a beam of light leaving her. Su Xiaozhi paused for a few seconds before suddenly chasing after Little Niu with all her might. She broke down and shouted, “Don’t go, don’t go. I promise you. Please help me.”
