Chapter 14 Changing the Fate of the Xu Family

Su Nanzhi angrily walked out of the state-owned restaurant with her lunch box.

After walking aimlessly for a while, looking at the old-fashioned slogans and familiar street scenes on the road, her mood finally improved.

Qin Lie's unit is in County Z, the most remote county in the north, so even in summer, it is not very hot.

On the streets you can see farmers driving ox carts, city dwellers riding bicycles to work, and students wandering around aimlessly with their schoolbags on their backs.

As soon as Su Nanzhi sat down on a bench in the small park, she heard a noise coming from the woods.

"Down with the capitalist bastards."

"Down with the bastard."

"The pup has no parents, his grandfather cleans the toilet, and his grandmother is blind."

…

Su Nanzhi didn't want to pay attention at first, but after hearing the words "no parents, cleaning the toilet, blind", the memory deep in her mind emerged...

She walked quickly towards the woods and saw several children throwing stones at a little boy squatting on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Su Nanzhi's sudden voice startled the children.

After seeing that it was Su Nanzhi, the oldest-looking boy in the lead put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "We are defeating the capitalist's sons of bitches."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the echoes of the people around them, "Yes, overthrowing the capitalists starts with me."

"Kill the bastard."

"You bad bastard."

…

The children were not very old. The oldest looked only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old. The excitement on their faces as they shouted slogans made Su Nanzhi sweat on her back.

The child called "bastard" curled up on the ground and didn't move. Only when he trembled from time to time could one tell that he was still alive.

"Who taught you these words?" Su Nanzhi said in a cold tone.

The children were young after all, and they immediately calmed down after being scared by her.

"That's what the adults on the street say."

"The adults in the compound all said his parents were stinking ninth-class people, and his grandparents were capitalists."

"My grandparents also said he was a capitalist's son of a bitch."

Although they said this, there was only confusion in the eyes of the children.

They don't understand how deadly these words are in this day and age. They just follow the adults and treat this as a game.

Su Nanzhi couldn't tell these children that everything would change in a few years, nor did she think she could change what these children had learned through osmosis with just a few words.

She was also more afraid that what she said would cause trouble for the little boy.

Fortunately, if she couldn't convince people with force or reason, she could still use sugar-coated bullets to paralyze these children.

Thinking of the bulk White Rabbit candies that were nearing their expiration dates that the supermarket was clearing out, she actually took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket.

"Anyone who says sorry to Xu Jianian will be rewarded with a piece of White Rabbit candy."

The children who didn't have a piece of candy in a month didn't hesitate at all. They simply apologized to Xu Jianian, took the candy from Su Nanzhi and ran away.

Su Nanzhi watched the children running away and was about to turn around when she heard a childish voice.

"They're not really apologizing."

I don’t know when Xu Jianian got up, his little hands clenched into fists, and there was hatred on his young face that was not in line with his age.

Su Nanzhi looked at him and said, "When you grow up and become more powerful, they will admit their mistake."

In this life, she will change her own destiny and also change Xu Jianian's fate of dying young.

After hearing what Su Nanzhi said, Xu Jianian finally reacted and looked at her curiously: "Sister, thank you for saving me just now."

"But how do you know my name is Xu Jianian?"

Su Nanzhi's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, "I just heard those kids say that."

Xu Jianian: Did Daniu and the others call your name just now?

Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and gave Su Nanzhi a shy smile.

"Sister, thank you for saving me just now."

"I don't have the money to pay you back for your candy now, but I'll pay you back when I grow up and make some money."

Xu Jianian looks like he is only three or four years old, but Su Nanzhi knows that Xu Jianian is already five years old this year. Because of malnutrition, he looks only three or four years old.

In her previous life, Su Nanzhi and Xu Jianian's acquaintance was similar to their current one. Because she saw a child bullying Xu Jianian, she taught the child a lesson and then met Xu Jianian.

One rainy day, she fell on the road because of a headache and was rescued by Xu Jianian and brought home. That’s how she got to know the Xu family.

The ancestors of the Xu family ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Grandpa Xu was a master of traditional Chinese medicine and could bring people back to life. Because Xu Jianian had a good relationship with her, Grandpa Xu made an exception and secretly prescribed medicine for her.

Later, because Qin Lie's leg injury did not recover well, she begged Grandpa Xu to treat Qin Lie as well.

But she didn’t have much money in her previous life and couldn’t repay the Xu family.

Later, when she became rich, the Xu family had already been destroyed.

In her previous life, she only thought that the Xu family was unlucky. It was when she was sick and hospitalized that Zhou Xiaobao told her the truth about the Xu family's destruction at her bedside.

In this life, she wants to change her own destiny and the destiny of the Xu family.

Because he rarely talks to people, Xu Jianian speaks a little hesitantly, and it is clearly childish talk, but looking at his sincere eyes, people can't help but believe him.

Su Nanzhi did not refuse and nodded solemnly.

In this life, Xu Jianian will grow up, and she is also waiting for Xu Jianian to grow up and repay her kindness.

Just as Su Nanzhi was about to touch Xu Jianian's head, she heard a "gurgling" sound.

Although Xu Jianian was wearing shabby clothes, his face and hands were clean. Maybe because he seldom went out, his face was very fair.

His face was flushed red at this moment.

Su Nanzhi chuckled, carried Xu Jianian to the pedestrian chair, and handed the slightly warm aluminum lunch box to him.

“Eat!”

Xu Jianian looked at the lunch box and then looked at Su Nanzhi.

"Sister, I've had lunch."

"And I owe you candy."

I don’t know when he will be able to earn enough money to buy candy.

Su Nanzhi looked at him swallowing his saliva and felt a little sad.

"If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianian immediately became anxious and hugged the lunch box.

It was the first time he saw so much meat, more than the fried meat his grandfather made during Chinese New Year.

"Sister, just pour it into my mouth."

Su Nanzhi was amused by him. Xu Jianian showed a shy smile, then lowered her head as if she had thought of something, "Sister, you'd better stay away from me, otherwise you will be in trouble."

Su Nanzhi touched his head and said nothing, but urged softly: "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Xu Jianian lowered his head, took a bite, squinted his eyes in enjoyment, but did not take a second bite.

Su Nanzhi was just about to ask if it tasted bad?

Xu Jianian looked up at her, looking embarrassed, "Sister, can I take the rest home?"

Su Nanzhi was stunned at first, then thought of something, but said seriously, "No."

Xu Jianian felt a little regretful, as he wanted his grandparents to eat meat too.

"If you do me a favor this afternoon, I can treat you to some meat buns."

Su Nanzhi's words made Xu Jianian's eyes light up. He nodded immediately and did not forget to pat his chest.

"Sister, maybe I can do it. I can wash vegetables, clean, and cook."
