Chapter 119: What’s the use of being able to catch snakes if you can’t fight
As the sun set, the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside the Su family courtyard.
Before the carriage stopped, the three little guys, Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu, started chattering, "Grandpa, Grandma! Dad! Mom! We're back! We brought you some delicious braised pork ribs! Lamb legs! And carrot balls!"
"There are so many delicious things! Auntie doesn't even have to cook tonight!"
Du Buqin got out of the car holding Tianbao, his face sour, "Where did that bastard Bai Kui get the Luban lock from? He tried to pry it open for a long time but couldn't! He was just trying to protect me, tut!"
Amidst the shouting and cursing, the gate of the courtyard opened.
With a creaking sound.
The person who opened the door faced the person outside.
Tianbao nestled in Du Grandpa's arms, looking at the person who appeared in front of him. His eyes began to focus again, and his little head was almost tilted to his chest.
"Why are you in my house?"
Du Buqin and the three kids were also dumbfounded, "Why are you here?"
Wei Li pursed her lips. The bruises on her face had faded further after an afternoon, and her whole face was full of colors.
He didn't say anything, but just silently stepped back a little to make room for the door.
At this time, Mrs. Su poked her head out from the kitchen. "You're already yelling when you get home. What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly. This is Wei Li. He'll be living in our house from now on."
Five people outside the door, "..."
Tianbao's porcelain-white face turned green.
When I came back from a trip out, I found that my house had been robbed.
But the baby is good and doesn’t speak now.
Liu Yuelan's voice also came from the kitchen at this time, with a smile, "Do you remember when our family passed through the border post, there was a manager who wanted to beat us, that person——"
The kids stared at Wei Li, "Remember..."
Not only do I remember it, I have also seen it before.
At this hour, smoke from cooking fires was everywhere in the village, so we would have to wait a while for dinner.
As soon as I got home, I left the kids behind and ran away. I was carsick, so I found a place where no one was around to vomit.
The women were busy in the kitchen, and the men were nowhere to be seen. No one knew where they had gone.
There were only five kids left in the yard, looking at each other in confusion.
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu didn't react much to the addition of another person to their family. Although they had met each other in the city at noon and knew that there were many hidden tricks through reminders, children are children and novelty prevailed.
Tianbao didn't react much either.
The person has arrived, and grandma has said that he will live at home, so let him stay.
It's just that she personally doesn't like weak things.
"Do you really want to live in my house?" She asked, squatting there with her hands on her cheeks.
The little boy lowered his eyes and said "hmm" after a while.
"oh."
“…”
Su Wu also had questions, "Should we serve you?"
"No, I can work."
Sue An, "What will you do?"
“…You can learn.”
Su Wen, "We usually play catching snakes. Do you dare to catch one?"
"dare."
Tianbao sighed and left.
What’s the use of being able to catch snakes if you can’t fight.
The women in the kitchen would glance outside from time to time while working, and sometimes they would smile.
"They are all kids of the same age. It didn't take long for them to start playing together." Old Lady Su said, "That's great. With a few playful kids to take care of him, Ali will adapt quickly."
After saying this, she sighed quietly, "It's a pity that Madam couldn't..."
Didn't survive.
The three young women next to them were also sighing.
The greatest kindness they received during their exile was given by that lady.
So a living person only gets the news from someone else that the person is dead.
"Grandma." Tianbao entered the kitchen, nestled beside the old woman, and looked up at her. "Grandma, are we repaying your kindness?"
Old Lady Su pinched her cheek and said, "Yes."
"Return the jade gourd to him, send him home, and I'll have completed my revenge."
Accustomed to the way her good granddaughter spoke, Old Mrs. Su could easily understand what she wanted to express.
The old woman added a piece of firewood to the stove and said softly, "My dear, you can't repay a favor like this."
Tianbao tilted his head, "What do you mean? Even if Madam doesn't help, Tianbao can still protect the family."
"When Madam helped us, she didn't know Tianbao had such abilities. She did this out of kindness and to build good relationships."
The old woman looked down at her granddaughter and told her in words she could understand, "Just like grandpa and grandma, our family is willing to help others. Sometimes it's not for the sake of getting anything in return, but simply because we hope that when our children encounter difficulties in the future, there will be such kind people who can help them.
That lady was the same. Rather than asking for anything in return, I think she wanted others to treat her child well. In the end, it was all about a mother's love for her child."
Liu Yuelan also spoke up, "Good deeds will bring good results. That child is truly pitiful. Given the past, we can't just turn a blind eye to his predicament. As for the potential trouble this may bring to the family, your grandfather, your father, and your second uncle have already gone to consult with Mr. Huo and Master Broken Blade to see if there are any preventative measures."
Tianbao didn't ask any more questions.
The trouble my mother was talking about was probably someone coming to our door.
There was a fight.
Can.
No trouble.
After leaving the kitchen, Tianbao looked at the little boy standing in the yard with his face covered in bruises and found him pleasing to the eye.
It’s like having a huge piece of candy at home.
The bees will come.
She just beat someone up at home and that was her repayment.
On the other side, in the Huo family courtyard.
Several men were sitting around a table in the yard. On the table were several porcelain bowls and a large pot of coarse tea.
As the sun sets, a layer of purple gold is cast down from the sky, casting a warm light on the yard.
The only thing that seemed a little out of harmony in this scene was Du Buqin who was captured temporarily.
The old man was furious. He sat there cursing and swearing. He broke the knife with his fist when he remembered something. "What does it have to do with me? Why did you have to bring me here when you could have just discussed it among yourselves? I'm full and don't want any tea!"
He is still dizzy!
His chest felt stuffy, and this arrest interrupted his nausea. He felt even more uncomfortable than motion sickness, unable to move.
You are a bastard!
He wants to kill Broken Blade!
Is this the spy that Bai Xiaofeng planted next to him?
Broken Blade glanced at him indifferently, "You went out in the middle of the night before the New Year. Did you go to Kaishi Village?"
"..." The old man shut up and turned his head away. "I don't remember. It was a long time ago."
Huo Ziheng ignored the bickering pair and said to Old Man Su, "The Duke of Wei was a veteran of two dynasties of Dai Viet. He was renowned among the officials of the capital for his integrity and uprightness, and enjoyed a high reputation. I've heard of his deeds. Now his entire family is nearly exterminated. Someone in the upper echelons must have been plotting to eliminate them. The one who was able to bring down the Duke and go to such extremes... must be the one on the throne. He's done with his work, and now he's ready to be discarded."
"Dragon, chair?!" Old man Su came to consult with some knowledgeable people. He didn't expect to hear this word and was so scared that he almost fell off the stool.
Su Da and Su Er also had bulging eyes and opened and closed their mouths but no sound came out.
God.
They were repaying a favor, but ended up provoking the Emperor?!
