Chapter 32 The Su Family Old Couple Asks for Help
It was still early, and the Huo couple were both at home at this time.
After hearing the Su family explain their purpose, Mrs. Huo's face immediately changed, her eyebrows raised and her voice was sharp, "Going to Fengyun City to help you rescue people? What a joke! Don't you know what Fengyun City is? A person like me has to be very careful and cautious to save my life there, and I can't help rescue people! I don't have that ability!"
After that, she put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Don't I say that your eldest brother has the courage of heaven? He dares to go into the city alone. If he is so capable, why doesn't he go to heaven? Come on, don't cry in front of me. I can't help you with this! Whether he can come back or not is up to his own fate!"
When the young women heard this, the despair in their eyes deepened.
On the way here, Old Lady Su and the old man had already reached a tacit understanding. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, "Mrs. Huo, please excuse me. You are an elder of Tubei Mountain and know much more than we do. We shamelessly came to you to ask for help. Perhaps you have some way to help? If so, we will definitely not let your risk be in vain and will reward you handsomely!"
After a pause, her voice choked with sobs, her eyes becoming redder, "If it really can't be done, we dare not force it... I hope Brother Huo and Madam Huo will understand. We, we really have no other choice..."
Mrs. Huo crossed her arms over her chest, snorted and leered, "I let you in because of the dried fish you gave me yesterday. I thought your Su family was honest and respectable, but I didn't expect you to be so treacherous. You're so broke, yet you dare to talk about a generous reward as a thank you? What generous reward? Dried fish? Just because I'm nice to you, do you think I'm easy to fool and bully?"
The other party's words were very unpleasant, but at this time the Su family didn't care at all and didn't dare to care about it.
Besides, to some extent, Mrs. Huo was not wrong. Their family was indeed extremely poor.
"Madam Huo, we've come to you with a request, risking our entire family's safety. Since we're asking for a favor, we absolutely wouldn't dare to lie or make false statements." Old Man Su also stepped forward, took out the things he'd brought with him, and opened the old cloth bag, revealing a corner of the bag. "This is our sincerity. As long as we can bring the person back, I'll sacrifice my life, not to mention these things!"
Huo, who had just looked disdainful, narrowed his eyes and lowered his arms around his chest after seeing what was in the bag.
Although Old Man Su did not open the bag completely, only revealing a corner, it was enough for her to see clearly.
If she was not mistaken, it was a ginseng!
And the age is definitely no less than fifty years!
She could not hide her surprise. She did not expect that the Su family, who were like beggars entering the village when they first arrived, would actually hide such a good thing in a low-key manner!
First it was dried fish, then ginseng… Huo looked at the Su family again, with a probing and scrutinizing look in her eyes.
Being able to hide such a precious item and bring it all the way to Tubei Mountain, the Su family is probably not as ordinary as they seem.
What Mrs. Huo didn't know was that the old couple of the Su family were also secretly observing her, and at this moment, they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Because after seeing the ginseng, Huo was surprised, curious, and suspicious... but he did not show any greed.
Just for this point, the Su family won the bet.
Regardless of whether Huo can help or not, such a person will not easily stab them in the back.
Mrs. Huo may be harsh and mean, but she is open-minded.
Mrs. Huo suppressed the many emotions in her eyes and stared at the old couple in front of her. "Such a good thing, you brought it to me, someone you don't have much relationship with. Aren't you afraid of being robbed or harmed?"
Old Man Su said solemnly, "Just based on what Madam Huo said, I believe you are not someone who can do such a thing. What's more -"
He glanced into the quiet main room and said, "Anyone who loves her husband so much that it's obvious to her can't be that bad."
Huo, "..."
Fuck you!
My old face is burning!
There were a few light coughs in the main room, followed by a series of chuckles.
A handsome, thin middle-aged man walked slowly out of the main hall. "My wife is straightforward and speaks her mind. Thank you for your kind words, old man. I can't boast about whether I can help with your eldest son and granddaughter's affairs, but I will do my best. You guys go back and wait for news."
Upon hearing this, the Su family was immediately overjoyed and thanked the man profusely.
Old Man Su stuffed the ginseng into the man's arms and said, "Brother Huo, my Su family will always remember this kindness! If there's anything we can do, just tell us!"
"Okay, everyone, please go back first." The man did not refuse the ginseng. He kept smiling while speaking, and his every move was gentle, elegant, generous and calm.
After the Su family left, Mrs. Huo was so anxious that she even forgot to close the door. She angrily shouted at the man, "Do you want to go to Fengyun City by yourself?"
The man nodded and said, "Ah Xian, I've been at home for a long time. I just wanted to go out for a walk. Fengyun City is not far away, so it wouldn't hurt to take a walk."
"No! I won't let you go! Don't even think about being a pushover today! We don't want this ginseng, I'm going to return it to the Su family!"
"Ah Xian." The man grabbed the woman, but the force was not strong. However, the woman felt as if she was being held back by a heavy object and did not dare to struggle.
"I didn't go to Fengyun City because I wanted to be a pushover." The man stared at the unbelievably obedient woman in his arms, a soft, dark tenderness welling up in his eyes. "You've always been harsh with your words, offending many people and calling them names. The Su family is the first to praise you like this. I'm happy to hear that. I'm glad they have the courage to trust you."
Huo raised her eyes and stared at the handsome and noble man in front of her. She couldn't believe it, "Are you happy?"
"I'm naturally happy when others praise my wife."
"Why why?"
"Fool." The man chuckled and pinched the woman's thin cheek. "I'll leave now and be back by noon at the latest."
Before leaving, he handed the ginseng to the woman and said, "You have taken care of me wholeheartedly over the years. Thank you for your hard work. I will keep the ginseng for you. You should also replenish your body."
Mrs. Huo stood there in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time after the man left.
The warm and cool feeling of being pinched on the cheek lingered, as if it was being branded into the skin.
Afterwards, the woman's thin cheeks gradually turned crimson and deep red.
She stuffed the ginseng into her arms, tapped the ground with her toes, and leaped towards Fengyun City, disappearing in Tubei Mountain in the blink of an eye.
What a bastard, he just left without any hesitation. Without her as a bodyguard, he wasn't afraid of being beaten up by those ruffians in the city!
Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed in the woman's eyes.
Anyone who dares to touch her man will be skinned alive!
Su Da had no idea what happened in the Su family. He took Tianbao on the street, dodging and stumbling as he walked half the way.
Finally we stopped in front of a small shop.
There is a sign hanging above the shop, saying it is a seed shop selling rice and crop seeds.
"Treasure! Found it! It's right here!" Su Da's eyes lit up and he walked into the shop.
