Chapter 257 Back to the Village
Xiaoxi quickly explained the situation to everyone in detail.
When everyone learned that Xiaoxi came to the city to do business for Su Tai, they all gave her a thumbs up.
Su Chunlin said excitedly: "Xiao Xi! I think you are a capable girl, how about I take you in as my goddaughter?"
Xiaoxi was flattered, "Uncle, I am just a servant, I dare not be your goddaughter."
"Hey! What do you mean by a servant? We are just country people. We don't have those poor requirements. My uncle's family is well off. You are a smart girl. The child's mother and I like you very much! If you don't mind, it's settled!" Su Chunlin looked happy.
Seeing that Su Chunlin was very sincere, Xiaoxi stopped being shy and simply called him godfather.
Everyone in the room congratulated Su Chunlin.
Xiao Xi said, "Godfather, since you were sent back injured, we have to find a doctor to come and take a look. We have to put on a full show."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are really thoughtful, I almost forgot!" Su Chunsen sighed.
Xiaoxi went out immediately to find a doctor.
When she went downstairs, she cried to the shopkeeper and the waiter.
Now everyone knew that Su Chunlin and others were sent back because they were seriously injured on the battlefield and luckily survived. Their injuries were very serious and it was unknown whether they could recover.
For a moment, the people who had just ignited hope shook their heads in disappointment, because if they were sent back with serious injuries, they would most likely become a burden to their families. To put it bluntly, it would be better for them to die on the battlefield.
Xiaoxi had no idea what everyone was thinking. After the doctor came over to re-examine and apply medicine to Su Chunsen and Shen Zhuang, Xiaoxi asked the doctor to say something downstairs to confirm the fact that Su Chunsen and others were seriously injured.
Two days later, all the strawberry jam he brought was sold out, and Xiaoxi immediately arranged for Roma to drive Su Chunlin and the others back home.
As soon as she left the inn, she was blocked at the door by several merchants who came to buy strawberry jam. She had to haggle with them, and finally, after she repeatedly assured them of the supply of strawberry jam, the merchants let her go.
Chen Zhuang's condition was quite serious, and the doctor told him to be careful after reapplying the medicine.
Xiaoxi didn't dare to speed up at all and walked slowly all the way. Three days had passed when he returned to Moshi Town.
"Godfather, I will first settle Uncle Shen in the inn in town, send you back, and then pick up Uncle Shen back to the village." Xiaoxi expressed his plan.
Chen Zhuang was eager to go home, but he didn't dare to be careless in this situation, so he followed Xiaoxi's arrangements.
The carriage slowly entered Dongmen Village.
Mrs. Tao just came out to pour water. She caught a glimpse of Xiaoxi's unfamiliar face and stopped to take a closer look. "Which family are you looking for, young lady?"
Su Chunlin excitedly lifted the car curtain, "Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
With a clang, Tao's basins fell to the ground. "Brother Chunlin! Why are you back?"
"And me too!" Su Chunsen then showed up.
Now the whole Dongmen Village was in an uproar.
Everyone rushed to Su Chunlin's house and surrounded the yard.
Han was hugging Su Chunlin and crying loudly, while Su Zhan and Su Ming were also wiping their tears.
Ruan Xiaoyu and Shen Xiang were busy greeting their elders.
Su Changxi hurried over and finally squeezed in, "Chun Sen, Chun Lin, what's going on? Why are you back? Is the war over? Where's my Su Sheng?"
Huang, who followed, and Su Yu, who was leading the child, all looked at them eagerly.
Su Chunlin was confused from being asked this question, and said hurriedly, "We are still fighting. We were sent back because we were injured and old. The situation is different."
All the villagers lowered their heads in disappointment.
Su Chunlin comforted them, "Don't worry too much. When we left the border, our troops were still very strong. We won the first battle of the year. If we keep winning the battles, I believe it will stop soon."
Huang burst into tears, "How long will it take? I haven't felt at ease since my Ah Sheng left, wuwuwu."
Su Yan looked a little pale with the child, and looked at Su Chunlin pitifully, "Uncle, how is my Yongnian?"
"Very good, very good! Yongnian and the others are all with my son-in-law. Our Chen Yi said that his goal is to bring everyone alive. Making meritorious contributions is not important. Before, he was restricted in everything he did because of protecting us. Now sending us back can save some trouble.
Don't worry, they are all fine, and everyone is fine too."
Su Chunlin spoke with certainty.
Although his words have little credibility, they can at least give everyone some psychological comfort. Plus, their families are not on the list of casualties sent this time, so there is still hope.
After the villagers left, Su Changxi and Su Changfu stayed to carefully understand the situation on the battlefield.
After knowing that Su Chunlin was injured because of Xiong Kai, Su Changxi was so angry that he went to find Gao Zhi to argue.
"Brother, you are the village chief after all, you have to take care of this matter. The people of our village cannot be bullied by the people of Ximen Village for no reason!"
Su Changfu thought so too, and immediately sent someone to find Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi felt confused. When he arrived at Dongmen Village, he learned that Su Chunlin and others had returned to the village. He hurried to their home to find out what had happened.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the door, Su Changxi would give him a sarcastic remark.
Gao Zhi was also unhappy, "Su Changxi, what do you mean? I didn't provoke you! It's inexplicable."
"Humph! You didn't provoke me, but the people in your village did provoke the villagers in our village!" Su Changxi was so angry that he pulled Gao Zhi in front of Su Chunlin and said, "Look, look at Chunlin's legs. It's all Xiong Kai's fault!"
"Xiong Kai?" Gao Zhi's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something, and he hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, "Xiong Kai was arrested by the government for committing a crime a long time ago, and he didn't return to the village, so what he did has nothing to do with us!"
Su Changfu shook his head. "Lao Gao! That's not what you meant. I remember that you used to rely a lot on Xiong Kai. Whenever I went to your village to talk about something, Xiong Kai always had a say. Without your permission, would he have the qualifications to do so?"
Gao Zhi's face changed unpredictably, "Village head! Our village is different from yours. You all have the same surname and the same ancestor. We can discuss things together. There are so many people from other surnames in our Ximen Village. I can't ignore any of them! There are only a few families with the surname Xiong, and only Xiong Kai is relatively capable. Can I still cover his mouth and stop him from making a sound?
Also, Xiong Kai originally had conflicts with Su Chunlin's family, and I can't intervene in their affairs on the battlefield even if I want to! Not to mention that Xiong Kai hasn't come back yet, and you can't just listen to Su Chunlin's one-sided words. "
"What? You mean I failed to frame Xiong Kai on purpose? Bah! I feel so dirty to frame such a vicious villain!" Su Chunlin was furious, his body was shaking with excitement.
