Chapter 656 - 656 Return
656 Return
“Father, in my opinion, we should return to the village to hide. I think that girl came for the fog in the village. They’re advanced in martial arts, so they will definitely go in. If they go in, they might not be able to come out. No matter what, we’ll come back to stay after she leaves.”
Chen Qiang lowered his voice.
They had seen everything clearly from the hole in the wall just now. They originally wanted to watch the show and see if Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s families could defeat them.
However, they did not expect this to happen. They were also afraid. The person who came was Su Xiaolu, the youngest girl in Su Sanlang’s family.
Chen Hu’s family was close to Su Sanlang, and the two families had even become sworn brothers. If Su Xiaolu was unhappy that they were occupying the house, she would definitely chase them away. If she was in a bad mood, she would beat them up.
Chen Long and Chen Qiang had the same thoughts. If they couldn’t afford to offend her, they would avoid her. Anyway, Su Xiaolu couldn’t stay here forever.
They had all gone to the capital. If nothing went wrong, they would not come back to this small village at all. Therefore, they could just continue staying after they left.
Father Chen sighed and nodded. “Alright, we can hide if we can’t afford to offend them.”
They had long regretted what they had done. Their youngest son, their lame son, their least favorite son, had become the most promising.
But at that time, who would have thought?
In terms of regret, the Su family regretted it more than them. After all, Su Sanlang was the real capable one. Chen Hu was only following Su Sanlang’s family to live a good life because he was loyal.
Su Xiaolu did not care about the Chen family for the time being.
After cleaning up the house, Su Xiaolu and her masters temporarily stayed.
The next day, it was quiet next door. Su Xiaolu flew over to check and realized that the Chen family had already moved away.
Old Wu was practicing his sword in the courtyard. He snorted and said, “They run quite fast.”
“We’ll stay here for a while this time. We’ll go in together after the officials gather the people.”
Gui You came out of the house and said calmly.
“Mmn.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. She also began to practice her sword.
After practicing the sword, Su Xiaolu went out to buy things.
After buying everything she needed, she returned home.
Not long after, the food Su Xiaolu had ordered from the restaurant was delivered. The three of them ate together.
After dinner, Su Xiaolu said to the two masters, “Master, Master Gui You, I’m going back to the village.”
Yesterday, she did not see Old Master Su and Madam Wang. What was the situation in the village now? She also wanted to go back and see Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang.
Old Wu waved his hand. “Go, go.”
Gui You nodded. This was Su Xiaolu’s business. If Su Xiaolu could resolve it, they would not care.
After greeting the two Masters, Su Xiaolu went out.
She rode out of town. In less than an hour, Su Xiaolu arrived at Southern Mountain Village.
She dismounted and stopped in front of the Hu residence. She raised her hand and knocked.
“Who is it?”
It was Su Xiaozhi’s voice. The door opened quickly.
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Su Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment before recognizing her. “X-Xiaolu, you’re back.”
Su Xiaolu smiled at Su Xiaolu. “Aunt, long time no see.”
Su Xiaozhi tucked her hair behind her ear and said in embarrassment, “Xiaolu, come in and sit.”
Su Xiaozhi looked a little unnatural. She felt guilty when facing Su Xiaolu. Since Su Xiaolu was back, did she know that the house in town had been occupied?
Su Xiaozhi felt guilty. She poured Su Xiaolu a cup of water and stood there helplessly.
“Aunt, you don’t look good. Go and rest.”
Su Xiaolu knew what Su Xiaozhi was doing. She smiled at Su Xiaozhi with concern.
Su Xiaozhi did not know what to do. She sat down. Su Xiaolu was drinking water from a cup. Su Xiaozhi had already quietly sized her up many times. Su Xiaozhi finally could not help but say, “Xiaolu, how are your parents?”
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Father and Mother are fine. Everyone is fine.”
Su Xiaozhi smiled. “That’s good.”
After sitting with Su Xiaolu for a while, Su Xiaozhi seemed to have something on her mind and could not sit still.
Su Xiaolu could tell. She asked Su Xiaozhi, “Aunt, where are Cousin and the others?”
Su Xiaozhi seemed to have been asked something sad. The corners of her mouth moved, but she did not say anything for a moment.
Su Xiaolu looked at the house and felt that it seemed too deserted. There were not many things used. It seemed that Su Xiaozhi was the only one living here.
Su Xiaolu frowned slightly.
She did not make things difficult for Su Xiaozhi. She stood up and said, “Aunt, I still have something on. I’ll leave first. I’ll come and see you next time.”
Su Xiaozhi heaved a sigh of relief and stood up to send her off.
Watching Su Xiaolu ride away, Su Xiaozhi sighed and forced back her tears. She looked up at the sky and turned to enter the house.
Not long after, Su Xiaozhi went out with a food box.
What Su Xiaozhi did not know was that Su Xiaolu had returned.
Su Xiaozhi entered the village and went to the Su family.
Su Xiaolu’s Qinggong was good now, and she could hide herself. She avoided people and watched Su Xiaozhi arrive at the Su family’s courtyard. She heard Su Xiaozhi’s surprised voice. “Big Brother, Second Brother—why are you back?”
Su Xiaozhi did not know that Su Dalang and Su Erlang had returned because their family felt that it was too embarrassing to return to the village during the day. They specially entered the village quietly at night and went home.
“This is our house to begin with. We can come back whenever we want. It’s not your place to interfere.”
Su Dalang said angrily to Su Xiaozhi.
Yesterday’s beating was an embarrassing thing. Being chased out by Su Xiaolu was a huge embarrassment. Su Xiaozhi was here to remind them of the humiliation they received yesterday.
After being shouted at, Su Xiaozhi did not ask further and carried the food box into the main courtyard.
After a while, Madam Wang’s curses were heard.
“You money-losing thing, why are you only here now? Do you want to starve us to death? Do you want us to die, like those heartless things!”
Madam Wang was still vicious. She scolded her and even hit Su Xiaozhi with the stick by the bed.
Su Xiaozhi endured the pain and let Madam Wang hit her. She explained, “Mother, I didn’t. I won’t leave you and Father alone.”
Madam Wang hit her twice and stopped. It was unknown if it was anger or something else in her eyes, but she threw away the stick and cried on the side of the bed. “Old man, quickly get up and take a look. Look at how these unfilial descendants are treating me.”
Su Xiaozhi’s tears fell. As she apologized, she opened the food box for Madam Wang to eat.
Old Master Su, who was lying on the bed, could not move at all. He only panted.
Madam Wang cried for a while. Then, as if nothing had happened, she started eating the food Su Xiaozhi gave her and stared at Su Xiaozhi as she helped Old Master Su up to feed him.
After eating, Su Xiaozhi carried the feces and urine basin out to wash them.
