Chapter 7: Going up the mountain



"Wuwu..."

"Daddy, Mommy is missing. I want Mommy."

When Su Ningxi woke up and saw that she was the only one in the crib, she thought her mother had left and burst into tears.

"Xiao Xi'er, why are you crying?"

When Su Ningxi saw Xiao Lingyu enter the room, she stopped crying instantly.

Xiao Lingyu picked up the tearful Su Ningxi and said, "Xiao Xi'er, don't cry anymore. You won't be cute anymore. Mother likes cute children."

Xiao Xier rubbed her eyes with her little hands and blinked at Xiao Lingyu, "Mother, I am a lovely child, you must like Xiao Xier."

Xiao Lingyu looked at the cute little Xi'er in front of her, her eyebrows curved, "Xiao Xi'er is the cutest, mother loves you."

The three brothers looked at each other when they heard this. It turned out that their mother liked cute children.

Xiao Lingyu put Xiao Xier down and saw Su Xingyi being helped up from the bed by the eldest and second oldest brothers, one arm each.

"Big brother, second brother, let mother help you."

Su Ning'an winked at Su Ningjie, and Su Ningjie let go of Su Xingyi and pushed the wheelchair.

"Mom, I'm the eldest, let's help Dad together."

Xiao Lingyu did not refuse. The eldest brother was not only sensible, but also stronger than her.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Su Xingyi, who was over 1.8 meters tall, fell and hit her, but it would be terrible if he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Xiao Lingyu exerted some strength and saw that Su Xingyi was able to walk with the help of others, but his steps were very unsteady and strenuous, and he had to grit his teeth with every step.

If she and the boss let go of each other's hands, he would definitely fall to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Lingyu took his pulse inconspicuously. There seemed to be a lot of blood clots in his head. No wonder he was blind. It was because his nerves were compressed.

She is not a professional medical student. When she was studying economics, she studied food and drug research and development without her mother's knowledge, and also studied traditional Chinese medicine. She can diagnose people's illnesses.

She couldn't perform surgery on him, so she could only go to the county to buy some nerve-nourishing herbs and slowly treat his condition.

Su Ningjie pushed the wooden wheelchair behind Su Xingyi, "Dad, the wheelchair is behind."

Su Xingyi grabbed Su Ning'an's arm and slowly sat down.

"Um...Su Xingyi, the eldest brother and I are going to the back mountain. I'll let Xiao Xier, the second and third brothers stay with you."

"Mother, Xiao Xi'er wants to go too."

Su Ningjie was thinking about going to Li Laowu's house, so he didn't say anything.

Su Laosan looked up at Su Xingyi, walked over, grabbed Xiao Lingyu's hand and shook it.

"Mother, mother, third brother wants to go too."

"You two and your second brother must stay home. You can't leave your father home alone."

"Mother, please take us with you."

Su Ning'an touched the small tuft on Xiao Xi'er's head and said, "Xiao Xi'er, you have to be obedient and stay home. Big brother will go catch a wild rabbit for you and will be back soon."

Xiao Xier refused and looked at Su Xingyi, "Daddy, we want to go with Mom."

Su Xingyi said, "Miss Xiao, please take them there. I can be alone at home."

"Mom, Daddy agreed."

Finally, Xiao Lingyu, holding Su Lao San in his left hand and Xiao Xier in his right hand, followed Su Lao Da and left the Su family yard.

"Dad, I went to Li Laowu's house."

"Go ahead."

Su Ningjie picked up a few small stones outside the yard, put them into Su Xingyi's hand, and went to Li Laowu's house with a small bucket and a fishing net.

Xiao Lingyu appeared in the village with her child and immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

The uninformed villagers asked, “Who is that?”

"That's the daughter-in-law that the government sent to Su Xingyi today."

Uninformed villagers were in disbelief. "Such a beautiful girl, with skinny arms and legs, it's obvious she can't do farm work. The government is trying to harm her."

"It is said that she is a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital. Her elders committed a crime, which brought disaster to his wife and children."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's miserable."

"I don't think the Su family's daughter-in-law has ever lived a hard life..."

Xiao Lingyu walked along with the children, turning a deaf ear to the villagers' words.

The villagers were just still curious about her and stopped paying attention to her after a while.

At this time, several young and beautiful women holding sewing baskets came towards them. When they saw Xiao Lingyu's face clearly, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Xiao Lingyu was not a socially anxious person, nor was he very friendly. As he had just arrived, he gave them a polite smile and walked towards the back mountain with the children.

Du Yingying, the wife of the village chief's grandson, came back to her senses. "She looks so pretty when she smiles. I really want to know what kind of rouge and powder she uses."

The other beautiful women echoed, "We'd like to know too."

Wang Xiufang looked at Xiao Lingyu walking away with a flash of jealousy in her eyes, and lowered her eyes to look at the yellowish skin on her hands.

Why is she so white?!

Xiao Xier is so close to her!

Her mother-in-law is really useless. She hasn't been able to trick Xiao Xier into marrying her in two years.

"It's useless to know. We can't afford it. She's the daughter of a convicted official. What's there to envy? She still has to come to the village and make a living by digging in the fields like us."

Du Yingying asked, "Are you jealous or envious?"

Wang Xiufang snorted softly, "Just wait and see, it won't be long before she turns into a yellow-faced woman. She's a daughter of an official, just like the daughters of the wealthy families in Xishui County, she's never done any rough work. Now that she's come to the village, she has no maids or servants to serve her. She needs to serve five men. Even if she doesn't die of exhaustion, she'll eventually turn into a yellow-faced woman."

Du Yingying remembered what the village chief said. Although the Su family's daughter-in-law was the daughter of a convicted official, she was sent here personally by two adults, and they were quite respectful in their words to the Su family's daughter-in-law. Maybe it wouldn't be long before she was rehabilitated and returned to Beijing.

"I'm afraid that may not be the case."

Xiao Lingyu saw that the mountain behind Guihua Village was not very high, just a small hill. She didn't know how long the original owner hadn't exercised, and she actually found it a bit strenuous to climb such a small hill.

Soon, Xiao Lingyu and his group reached the top of the mountain. "Mom, that's Wufeng Mountain in the distance. Dad said we can't go inside."

Xiao Lingyu looked up and saw endless deep mountains and old forests in front of him, which was about a thousand meters away.

There was a flash of surprise in Xiao Lingyu's eyes. This was still an undeveloped deep mountain forest. There must be all kinds of rare medicinal herbs in it, and they were all natural and wild!

If there were such deep mountains in the future, she would have simply built a small hill around it.

It is indeed not allowed to enter now. There are wild animals inside and it will kill you if you go in.

However, we can hire a few skilled hunters to take a look.

Xiao Lingyu looked around and saw a bamboo forest on the left. "Boss, let's go over there and cut some bamboo."

"Mom, you wait here, I'll go chop it."

After saying this, Suningan ran through the bushes towards the bamboo forest.

"Boss, wait."

Xiao Lingyu was worried about Boss Su's safety, so he took the two little ones and followed behind.

"Bang!"

The mother and her two children had not taken a few steps when an unknown creature fell from the sky and landed at Xiao Xier's feet.
