However, he still came to their door. This meant that Madam Wang, Su Dalang, and Su Erlang could not live their lives calmly. There was no other way. Calculating the time, if there was no sign of self-healing at this time, they would not have much good flesh on their bodies. They would feel extremely itchy every day. It was really torture that made them wish they were dead.
Su Xiaolu smiled sarcastically and said, “Aren’t you already better? Why are you still looking for me?”
Su Xiaolu’s sarcastic tone made Old Master Su feel ashamed. His old face was burning. In the past, he would have flown into a rage out of humiliation.
But now, Old Master Su’s face was gradually turning red as he continued to lower his tone. “Xiaolu, we asked for it. Please calm down and let them off. Please spare their lives.”
There were not many good pieces of flesh on their bodies, and they could not stop the itch. Every day, they scratched the scabbed abscesses. It was a torture that made them wish they were dead, making them collapse.
Madam Wang wanted to die. It could be seen how torturous it was.
They all knew that they would heal if they lived peacefully, but it was useless if they could not calm down.
Because they couldn’t calm down, they cursed even more.
It was already good enough that Old Master Su did not curse. The villagers believed that this was a punishment from the heavens.
The Su Family was no longer well-liked in the family. In the village, everyone avoided them.
Old Master Su sighed guiltily. He knew that it was too late. Right now, he didn’t want to cling to Su Sanlang’s family. He only wanted to live the rest of his life in peace.
Madam Wang and he had been husband and wife for many years. He could not bear to see her court death because she could not stand the torture, so after thinking about it, he shamelessly came.
Old Master Su lowered his tone and Su Xiaolu remained silent.
“Xiaolu, although we’re detestable, it’s still a human life. You’re lucky to be able to get to where you are today. Why would you get involved in evil because of us?”
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was silent, Old Master Su said humbly again. With that, he bent down and quietly waited for Su Xiaolu to speak.
Madam Wang and her two sons could not take it anymore. If there was no solution, they would not be able to endure such painful torture for long.
Su Xiaolu looked at Old Master Su and said calmly, “I know a way to cure your illness. Just boil feces water and wipe it.”
Old Master Su looked up at Su Xiaolu in surprise. He could not believe what he had heard. Could such a ridiculous and comical method really cure the itchiness poison?
However, seeing that Su Xiaolu’s calm and cold eyes did not have any intention of playing with him, Old Master Su was also confused. Should he believe her or not?
Su Xiaolu didn’t care if Old Master Su believed her or not. She closed the door and went home.
Old Master Su looked at the tightly shut door and sighed lightly before returning home.
Madam Wang could not get out of bed for the past few days and could only moan in pain. She exuded an indescribable smell.
Old Master Su couldn’t expect her to still serve him.
Thinking of Su Xiaolu’s method, he sighed and decided to give it a try.
The smelly feces boiled and was used to clean Madam Wang.
Madam Wang was moved to tears. “Old man, thank you for treating me well.”
She had been married for so many years, but Old Master Su had never taken care of her. She did not expect to enjoy such care at this time. Madam Wang felt that she was willing to die.
After scrubbing the smelly and unknown medicine, Madam Wang felt much better. She said happily, “Old man, it’s not itchy anymore. It’s really not itchy anymore. It doesn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore. This medicine is really divine.”
Seeing that it was really useful, Old Master Su was relieved and didn’t say anything.
He only cooked porridge casually. He had no appetite at all.
On the other hand, Madam Wang pinched her nose and ate happily. Her old face, which was covered in abscesses, even squeezed out a bright smile.
“Take your time. I’ll take the medicine to the children.”
Old Master Su told Madam Wang that as long as this medicine could be used, it was not important what this medicine was.
Old Master Su went to deliver medicine to Su Dalang and Su Erlang.
‘It stinks.’
Old Master Su instructed Madam Li and Madam Zhou, “This is a medicine that can treat this itchiness. Take it to Su Dalang and wash it.”
Madam Li covered her nose. “Father, what medicine is this? It smells strange.”
The smell was pungent. It didn’t smell like medicine at all, but something from the outhouse.
Madam Zhou also felt a little disdainful and did not want to get involved at all.
Old Master Su frowned and said coldly, “Why are you asking so much? How can I harm my own son?”
Old Master Su was a little angry. Seeing Madam Li and Madam Zhou’s attitude, he felt sad.
His two sons were not dead yet, but his two daughters-in-law already had other thoughts.
Old Master Su was furious. Madam Li and Madam Zhou hurriedly took it and smiled ingratiatingly.
Madam Li smiled and said, “Father, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m just worried about Dalang’s health. Father said that it’s useful. I’ll go apply medicine for Dalang now.”
Madam Zhou also smiled and said, “I’ll go too.”
Old Master Su took a deep breath and turned to go home.
After applying this medicine for two days, Madam Wang, Su Dalang, and Su Erlang recovered.
They could finally have a peaceful New Year.
However, there was always a faint stench on Madam Wang’s body. Even Su Dalang and Su Erlang left that smell behind.
They wanted to stop the medicine. The abscesses were not fully healed yet, and they could not stand it if they did not apply the medicine.
If they wanted it to heal, they could only stink.
When the villagers saw them, they covered their noses and walked away.
People say this is karma.
Madam Wang always said that it was Su Sanlang’s family who caused it, but who would believe her?
With this faint stench, there was no one in the village who would talk to the family.
Old Master Su fell silent. This was retribution. He believed it.

Tomorrow was the new year.
At night, Su Xiaolu slept with her head on Su Xiaoling’s arm. She sighed and said, “Sister, time passes so quickly. It hasn’t been long, but a year has passed.”
After the New Year, she would be twelve years old, and Su Xiaoling would be eighteen years old.
Su Xiaoling pinched Su Xiaolu’s cheek gently and said gently, “Yes, another year is over.”
Her parents were in a hurry to choose her marriage. After the new year, it would be decided no matter what. The time she spent sleeping in the same bed as Su Xiaolu would decrease.
She had grown up, and so had Su Xiaolu.
Sometimes, he felt that time passed very slowly, but when he looked back, twelve years had passed.
“Xiaolu, you have to grow up healthy in the new year.”
Su Xiaoling turned her head and kissed Su Xiaolu.
This was the first time she had kissed Su Xiaolu’s forehead since she could remember.
Su Xiaolu was stunned at first, then she rubbed Su Xiaoling’s shoulder and wheedled sweetly, “I swear to my most beautiful, gentle, and best third sister that I will listen to her and grow up healthy.”
