"Big Boss, you dig first. I'll go across the valley to see if there are any herbs."
"No, you can't go there."
Xiao Lingyu said seriously, "If the big tiger bleeds, you must bury it as soon as possible. Trust me, I'll go find some herbs and nothing will happen."
Xiao Lingyu became serious, and Su Ningan was a little scared. "Then, then mother, please go and come back soon."
Su Ning'an sped up digging the hole, keeping a close eye on Xiao Lingyu's every move.
Xiao Lingyu went up to the valley and took out a special animal-repellent powder from the research institute without Su Ning'an's sight. He spread the powder evenly between the ancient tree and the valley at the fastest speed. No large ferocious beasts dared to approach within a hundred meters.
Su Ning'an's tense nerves relaxed when he saw Xiao Lingyu running around the valley and not going deep into Wufeng Mountain.
Soon, Xiao Lingyu circled to the top of the passage and descended the valley. Together with Su Ning'an, they buried the tiger with mountain soil and compacted it tightly before returning to the Su family compound...
"Aunt Song, my mother has gone to the bamboo forest. I'll give you the money later."
There were ten large sacks of copper coins in Su Ning'an's room. Su Ningjie didn't dare to touch them. He was worried that taking out 5,000 copper coins at once would arouse envy.
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. It's the same if you give it to me later." Then she left with her family.
"Ning Jie, go find the Zhang family and ask them to follow you to the bamboo forest." Su Xingyi was a little worried that the mother and son would encounter a ferocious beast.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Second brother, we want to go too."
Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen had finished their calligraphy copybooks long ago, but their mother had not returned yet, so the brother and sister couldn't help but feel worried.
"Dad—" Su Ning'an's excited voice came from outside the yard, "I've avenged you!"
Su Xingyi's face was startled. He quickly looked up at Xiao Lingyu who had entered the courtyard from behind. Seeing that he was unharmed, he asked, "Did you encounter that ferocious beast?"
"Yes, I have already smashed it and buried it!"
Su Ningjie:!!!
Suningwen:!!!
Su Ningxi:!!!
Xiao Xier came back to her senses and pulled Xiao Lingyu to check everything out. "Mother, you are not allowed to take big brother to the Bamboo Forest Valley alone. If you want to go, take us with you. The beasts won't dare to come with us in large numbers."
Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen echoed in unison: "Yes, take us with you."
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu felt a urge to show off his child.
If she had her cell phone with her, she would easily post a circle of friends: Another day of being cared for and loved by the kids, so happy.
Xiao Lingyu's eyebrows were covered with a gentle smile. She rubbed the cheeks of the three children in turn and said, "Mother promises you that we will go together next time."
Xiao Lingyu handed Su Ningjie five taels of silver and went into the kitchen.
Su Xingyi wheeled Su Ning'an away and whispered, "Tell Daddy in detail how you beat up the tiger."
"The tiger was probably too hungry to have much strength left, so it suddenly fell to the ground when it pounced on me. I squatted on the ground and beat it hard."
A hungry tiger would attack fiercely and viciously, so how could it suddenly faint from hunger? Su Xingyi asked puzzledly, "Did you notice anything unusual when you were beating the tiger?"
Su Ningan shook his head, "No, I was just busy beating it."
"Then where was your mother at that time?"
"I told my mother to hide in the bushes."
Su Xingyi thought of the wild boar that suddenly fell to the ground last time. Xiao Lingyu dared to enter Wufeng Mountain alone at that time, so she should have a way to protect herself.
Xiao Lingyu's various behaviors have far exceeded his understanding of a rich lady.
"So what was your mother doing when she was digging the pit to bury the tiger?"
"Mother was walking around the valley looking for herbs." Su Ning'an said truthfully, "At first I was worried that ferocious beasts might scurry out from the ancient forest, so I wouldn't let her go. But Mother assured me that she would be fine, and she turned out to be fine."
After hearing what Su Ning'an said, Su Xingyi was very sure that the sudden fall of the big tiger must have something to do with her.
"Okay, I know. Let's go to the kitchen and help."
next day
He Jianzhang brought his men, the villagers that Xiao Lingyu had found in advance, and the Zhang family to start building a house on the vacant land in the east.
"Master He, what are you doing?" Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised to see that the people brought by He Jianzhang had built three wooden houses outside the Su family's courtyard wall.
"Madam Su, the three of us will go out to help the master build a house. We will build a wooden house and live on the construction site. This way, we won't delay the construction schedule, and we can smell the fragrance of flowers and work faster."
When He Jianzhang was building the wooden house, he felt inexplicably good when he smelled that special fragrance, and he built the wooden house faster than usual.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will arrange for someone to cook for you."
Even if she didn't pay them, she naturally had to provide them with three meals a day. The wild rabbits, pheasants, and fish in the backyard were enough for them to eat.
"Boss, go to the Zhang family..."
The job of cooking for them has to be left to the Zhang family.
On the other side, Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan helped Lu Shiyuan into the Lu family villa.
"Grandfather, please slow down."
Lu Shiyuan looked at Si Chuyu and said, "Yu'er, you have worked hard to help Yuan'er run the shop over the years."
Si Chuyu is the eldest grandson of the Si family, a century-old family in Huayang County.
Lu Shiyuan never dreamed that her eldest granddaughter could actually bring the eldest grandson of the Si family home.
Si Chuyu is willing to become the grandson-in-law, but Lu Shiyuan doesn't have the courage to offend the Si family.
The two families agreed that their first son would be a descendant of the Si family, and the second child could be included in the Lu family tree and take charge of the Lu family business in the future.
The Si family has an ancestral precept that the Si family cannot have illegitimate sons and daughters, and one can marry a concubine only if he is forty years old and has no children.
However, six or seven years ago, Lu Shiyuan lost his grandson and great-grandson, and Lu Yuan was also injured.
I'm afraid that when the two of them reach the age of 40, they will not be able to have children. Even if they have a good relationship, the Si family will still force Si Chuyu to marry a concubine, or even let them divorce.
By then Yuan'er's situation will be very difficult.
Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yuan asked anxiously.
"Yuan'er, grandpa is fine. Just go back to the yard and rest."
Si Chuyu said, "Grandfather, the yard has been cleaned up. You can rest here in peace from now on."
Lu Shiyuan paused and said, "Take me to see Yao'er first."
At this time, Lu Yao was sitting in the pavilion, holding her face with her hands, lying on the stone table with calming incense burning on it, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, mumbling something in her mouth.
The head maid Qiao Yun brought Dong Mei and gently fanned Lu Yao with a round fan.
Nanny Sumin would stuff a grape into his mouth from time to time.
Lu Shiyuan watched this scene from afar and felt a lump in his throat. Such a peaceful scene had never appeared in the main house.
"Yuan'er, is Yao'er so quiet because she came here?"
Lu Shiyuan clearly remembered that in the main house of the Lu family, except for sleeping, this child would scream and shout in fear whenever he was awake.
"Yes, Grandfather, this is what happened only when Sister Yao'er came here."
