Chapter 71: What else can I say about such a good child?
He wandered aimlessly in the village until he met a boy herding sheep.
The child looked less than ten years old and looked innocent and harmless, so he started to ask him questions.
"Kid, I want to ask you something."
The shepherd boy looked at the strange masked brother in front of him with confusion.
"What are you going to ask?" He was a little scared.
The sheep surrounded them, bleating, and some had already run ahead. His eyes always followed his flock.
"Is there a hunter in the village? Where is his home?" Jiang Yu asked him directly.
The child was anxious to catch up with his flock, so he pointed in a direction to him.
"Just keep walking along this road until you see a courtyard with a blue brick wall!"
Jiang Yu understood and took out a small piece of silver and gave it to the shepherd boy.
"Thank you very much!"
The boy happily accepted the money. It was a piece of cake. They were so generous just for asking for directions.
Jiang Yu left quickly, and the boy went to chase his flock of sheep.
He soon arrived at the courtyard with the blue brick wall. From the outside, he couldn't see anything, just an ordinary blue brick and tile house, but he could clearly see the branches of the peach trees planted inside extending out.
Just then, the yard door was opened, and a middle-aged man walked out with his hunting tools and headed into the mountains.
He seemed not to notice Jiang Yu's presence, and Jiang Yu did not see his face clearly.
So he followed him.
They were all martial arts masters. When Jiang the Hunter was halfway there, he keenly discovered that someone was following him. Jiang Yu could also tell from his steps that this person had a good foundation in martial arts.
Hunter Jiang stopped halfway, picked up a stone and threw it behind him, mixed with internal strength and temptation, but Jiang Yu caught it steadily and held it in his palm.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!" Hunter Jiang answered in a deep voice.
Jiang Yu walked out from the darkness and said as he walked:
"Fengyue Villa, Jiang Yu!"
When Jiang Liehu heard the place name and the person's name, his eyes suddenly sank, and then he was shocked. He turned around and looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at his reaction and had already made up his mind. He smiled and shouted:
"Uncle He, I haven't seen you for many years. It's so hard for me to find you!"
…
Su Chen arrived at the mine before noon and heard the sound of iron hitting stone at the foot of the mountain.
He came to the mine with ease and found the place where Su's mother cooked.
Su's mother was busy preparing lunch for the workers with two other women and didn't notice that her third son came to see her.
"mother!"
She wasn't sure when Su Chen called her, and only recognized him when he came closer.
"Achen, why are you here?"
"Mom, Wanwan asked me to pick you and Dad up." Su Chen answered truthfully.
"Why are you going back home? Did something happen?" Su's mother was called back by him for no reason and thought something happened at home.
Su Chen hurriedly explained and told Su's mother everything Su Wan had done at home during this period.
Including how much money she earned, how she paid off her debts, and now she has come up with a new way to make money, so she asked him to come and take her parents home to enjoy a good life without having to continue working.
"Mom, Wanwan said that you and Dad have worked hard for most of your lives. It's time to have a good rest. The mines are dangerous and hard. Now that we are able to earn money, you and Dad can come back and enjoy your retirement."
"But your eldest brother needs a large sum of money for the imperial examination next year. Your father and I have only saved a few dozen taels after paying off our debts over the years. Add to that what you earn, is that enough?"
It turned out that Su's father and mother still had some savings, but not much. They wanted to use them for their eldest son's travel expenses for the imperial examination. The usury incident in the original book was probably made up of this money, so that they had no savings later and could only work in the mine day and night, which led to the accident.
Now that Su Wan has indirectly solved this problem, the plot of the story has changed.
She saved Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu made compensation according to her guidance, instead of having much contact with the original heroine as in the original novel. So he left after his injury was almost healed, leaving behind no other compensation except a valuable piece of jade and a favor.
Su Chen had no choice but to tell his mother that he had saved Jiang Yu and Jiang Yu had given him a large sum of money as compensation.
"One hundred taels is too much!"
After hearing this, Su's mother was very surprised. She didn't expect the other party to pay so much for the medical fee and be so generous.
This directly solved the problem that Su Jing had no money for the imperial examination.
"At first, they gave me two hundred taels, but my second brother refused because he felt it was not worth that much." Su Chen continued to explain.
"Your second brother did the right thing. Although we saved his life, we can't demand repayment. However, I still need to ask your father for his opinion on this matter. You go wait for now. I'll finish the work at hand and then explain it to you in detail."
Su's mother is a very responsible person. Even if she suddenly became rich, she would not be lazy and shirk her responsibilities.
Su Chen waited obediently until his father finished work and had lunch, then he pulled him and his mother to continue talking.
Su's father's reaction was the same as Su's mother's. They both thought that something happened at home because they were suddenly called back.
Su Chen recounted in detail what had happened in the past few days, and specifically explained that this was Su Wan's filial piety.
This made the couple feel a little ashamed after hearing this. They had never raised their own daughter and even left the day after she came back without considering her feelings at all.
There was no emotional foundation between them, so they didn't know how to express their love for their daughter.
No one can accept the sudden news that the daughter they have raised for more than ten years is not their biological daughter.
However, Su Wan was not angry, and still cared about them so much. He was kind to his brothers and was also very open-hearted about family matters. What else can be said about such a good child?
In fact, in the original novel, they didn't dislike her because their feelings were weak, but the feelings needed to be cultivated slowly. However, the original owner did not give them this opportunity. She despised them because they were rural people, had no education, dealt with mud every day, and had no taste. She often mocked them with words and took action to dislike and attack them.
Many times, they tolerate it for the sake of being her biological child, but when it comes to frame-up, human life, and moral character, how can they speak up for her and protect her?
The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that she is a person who has already committed a serious crime.
You see, Su Wan now knows how to build relationships and trust between people, gradually making them trust him, see his good side and the most real side, treat others with sincerity, and don't do anything that harms others, then nothing will happen.
But if someone comes to disgust you on purpose, she will not suffer this grievance in vain. She can be well-behaved and sensible, but she will not accept it submissively and swallow her anger.
