Chapter 118 In the future, I will go through fire and water for the Su family!
At the door of the Huo family, Mrs. Huo poured a basin of dirty water outside the door, stretched her neck to look across, and muttered to herself.
"Another visitor! Could it be some distant relative asking for money? Tsk tsk tsk, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. Once the pigs get fat, the visitors won't stop coming."
"The people coming this time should be different from those coming from Tu Nan Mountain."
As soon as the man in the room started talking, Mrs. Huo turned around and yelled, "Did I talk to you? Why are you interrupting me? You're shameless!"
The man paused, "My lady, it's still early, why don't we take a rest together?"
Huo quickly closed the door and threw the wooden basin in his hand.
“Here I come!”
Changdong stood in the middle of the road, looked at the closed gate on this side, then looked at the closed gate on the other side, snorted coldly with a sullen face, and went back to his own house and slammed the gate shut.
The atmosphere in the Su family courtyard was a bit depressing at the moment.
"How could this happen? How could it be like this?" In the main hall, Old Lady Su sat on a low stool, her face dazed, the corners of her eyes red, and she kept muttering in disbelief, "Madam is such a good person, how could this happen..."
The other members of the Su family also looked heavy-hearted.
Meeting old friends here should be a happy occasion, but who knew there was such sorrow hidden behind it.
Zi Yi looked at the reactions of the Su family, pursed her lips, lifted her skirt and knelt on one knee, "I will bring the young lady to your house this time, it is really an unreasonable request."
Seeing this, the little boy did not hesitate and knelt down with him.
How could the Su family dare to accept such a great gift? The eldest Su and the second Su immediately rushed forward to stop the two men.
"Our Su family was fortunate to receive Madam's help that day. We have always been grateful for this kindness and have never forgotten it. Knight, aren't you trying to embarrass us by doing this?" Su Da said sternly, "Now that you are in trouble and need help, if there is anything our Su family can do to help, please do not ask for anything unreasonable."
Su Er also said, "A favor received will be remembered for a thousand years. Although we are ordinary people, we also understand this principle. Let's not use those polite words. If you have something to say, please speak frankly."
When they were called from the field, the brothers were in disbelief at first.
They had never seen Zi Yi's true face, but having walked together along the Yudu Ancient Road and having been protected by him, they had memorized Zi Yi's voice. Even after so long, they could not mistake it.
In the hearts of the Su family, their gratitude to Zi Yi is actually as heavy as their gratitude to their wife.
"Since that's the case, I'll speak frankly." Zi Yi gritted his teeth, glanced at the quiet little boy beside him, and said, "My original name is Zi Yi, now changed to Wei Yi. My young master's surname is Wei, and his given name is Li. Now that the young master has no relatives in the world, I should take care of him myself, but I'm busy making a living in the city during the day and can't take good care of him. So I want to ask you, can you please leave the young master here with you so that he can have a roof over his head? I won't let your care be in vain. I will send all the money I earn in the city to him every month to support his life here."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Before you all make a decision, there's one more thing I want to be frank with. My young master is embroiled in considerable trouble, and I need to make every possible effort to ensure his safety. Therefore, before I decided to come and seek your help, I took the liberty of investigating and probing your family. This is a humble act on my part, and I don't want to conceal it. My young master and I have also discussed this, and after we've spoken out, no matter what decision you make, we won't force you."
Wei Yi actually hesitated for a long time before making the decision to speak frankly.
After discussing with the young lady, he finally decided to tell the whole story.
Rather than letting the Su family discover it themselves and cause rifts in the future, it would be better for them to be open and honest from the beginning.
Even if the Su family didn't want to take them in, they wouldn't regret it. This didn't mean they couldn't stay in Tubei Village.
They already had nothing left to lose, so what if they were called shameless?
There was silence in the main room again.
Wei Li has kept his head down since he entered the door and has never raised it.
He couldn't see the expressions of the Su family members, and the torment of waiting made his hands curl up little by little, clenching tighter and tighter. The heart in his chest grew heavier and colder.
No one wants to mess with such a big trouble like him.
The continued silence was suffocating. Wei Li was unable to close his eyes and no longer held out hope.
Suddenly, there was a warmth on my head.
A dry, rough hand touched his head, warm and gentle.
Wei Li suddenly opened his eyes and slowly raised his head.
What caught his eye was the old woman's wrinkled and weathered face. Her facial features showed a strong and stern character, but her eyes were completely different and gentle. When she looked at him, her eyes were full of pity.
"You can live in my house from now on, okay?" she said.
Wei Li didn't cry when he was beaten in the alley, and he didn't cry when he realized he was going to be rejected.
This question finally made the tears that he had been holding back for so long burst out. The sorrow and pain in his small chest were too much for him to bear. He was shaking all over, and his internal organs were trembling.
Wei Yi stood there stiffly. He had clearly received a promise that the young lady would finally have a place to stay. He wanted to smile, but when he tried to lift the corners of his mouth, tears came out instead.
Lifting his clothes again, Wei Yi knelt down before the Su family could react. "I will never forget this kindness. If I can ever be of any use to you, I will go through fire and water for the Su family!"
Old Man Su shook his head, walked up to Wei Yi, and pulled him up together with Su Da and Su Er.
The old man patted him on the shoulder and gestured for him to leave. "I'm being too generous, so I'll just call you by your first name from now on. Wei Yi, could you please tell us the whole story? We'll have a general idea of what to do if something unexpected happens in the future."
Wei nodded and walked out of the main room with the father and his two sons.
This request is not excessive.
In fact, the young lady’s identity cannot be concealed for long.
There are too many talented people in Tubeishan. If they are willing to investigate, it is only a matter of time before their identities are exposed.
Fortunately, this is a place of exile, a place of chaos and disorder, where outside identities are the least valuable.
The men left, leaving only a group of women in the main room.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang also came to Wei Li, squatted down and looked at him with pity.
"We have four children in our family. You will be like them in the future. We will treat you as our own child. You just need to live well." Liu Yuelan said.
He Daxiang raised her voice, "The three boys in my family are so naughty. If they bully you, tell me and I'll teach them a lesson!"
Su Xiu'er stood at the back, smiling faintly. After a moment, she went out, wrung out a wet cloth, and came back to wipe the little boy's face and hands clean. "You're much taller now, and still as handsome as before, but you've lost a lot of weight. Eat more and take care of yourself. Look at what's become of your little face? It's covered in bruises, like a little cat... From now on, this will be your home."
