Chapter 38 Who is the Master?
"Here it is." Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes and complained bluntly, "I say, you are really careless. The whole family went to fight together and left such a little kid aside. Do you think it's safe to hide in a basket?"
Old Lady Su rarely refuted someone when she was criticized. Seeing her little granddaughter lying in her arms, she relaxed. "Mrs. Huo is right. We were so anxious just now that we lost our minds. Oh, now that I think about it, I'm really scared!"
There were more than a dozen evil men, all of them fierce and arrogant. If a fight really broke out, their family would not be their match at all. The situation at that time did not allow them to think carefully. They just wanted more people to help and increase their strength, so they rushed forward all at once.
Thinking about it now, Old Mrs. Su was really scared. Her little granddaughter was hiding in the basket at that time and was indeed not very safe.
If anything happened to Tianbao... Old Lady Su didn't dare to think about it. She stretched out her arms and wanted to hug her little granddaughter. "Grandma's little sweet baby, are you scared?"
Huo flashed.
Old Mrs. Su hugged nothing, and her face showed confusion and doubt again.
The eldest and second Su couple, the second Su couple, and even Old Man Su, who had come over to check on the baby, were all stunned when they saw this, and looked at Mrs. Huo in confusion.
Huo's mouth twitched slightly, "..."
"Hey, what are you looking at? Can I steal your baby?"
She forcefully tried to save her dignity, placed the baby in the old woman's arms, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
The baby was so light and soft in her arms, a small ball in her arms, and smelled of milk. She was actually a little reluctant to let go.
It's crazy! It's crazy!
On the other side, the Su family had no suspicion and surrounded the little baby.
Su Da was delighted when he saw his daughter's quiet, well-behaved, and calm expression. "Mom, my daughter is very brave! Last time, she was chased for several blocks in Fengyun City, and she was so well behaved. She didn't even cry."
Liu Yuelan immediately gave him a slap on the shoulder, "Why are you bringing up such a topic? Are you still so proud of it?"
Su Da suppressed his anger and chuckled again, "Wife, this is the first time I've seen you fight so fiercely. Now that the enemy has been beaten away, why don't you, Daxiang, and Xiu'er go back to the house and clean up yourselves?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. After he did, others discovered that after a fierce battle, no one in the Su family was clean or tidy except the youngest baby.
Either his hair is disheveled or his clothes are crooked, and at first glance he looks like a madman.
Three other little guys also squeezed in to join in the fun, pointing at their mouths and shouting that their teeth hurt.
The Su family looked at each other, and after a moment, they all laughed out loud while hugging Tianbao.
The laughter was filled with the joy and relief after resistance.
"Don't mention it. I didn't care about being scared during the fight. I felt so relieved after it was over. All the frustration I'd felt during this period was gone!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Those people will definitely not give up and will come again."
"That's a matter for later, let's talk about it later! This time I finally understand that we can be poor and suffer, but we must never live a cowardly life!"
"That's right! Even if you're poor, you can't be discouraged! You can't let others push you around! Otherwise—" Su Da glanced outside the door, where the crowd had gradually dispersed, "otherwise, you'd be nothing but a walking corpse."
If they keep bowing their heads, giving in, being cowardly and humble, they will end up living like those people outside the door, gray and numb, like walking bags without souls.
"Oh right, those guys just now suddenly ran away in disgrace. I saw blood on their hands! Someone must have helped us behind the scenes, otherwise things wouldn't have ended so easily!" Su Er's eyes sparkled as he said excitedly, "That person must be a very good Kung Fu master! I just don't know who it is, so I can't thank him in person!"
Old Man Su pondered for a moment and then said, "A great hermit hides himself in the city. No matter what, I will remember this kindness in my heart. Our family has received help from noble people many times along the way, which is a great blessing. As the saying goes, a family that accumulates good will surely have blessings. When I have the ability in the future, I will help those in need when I meet them. This will bring blessings to the benefactor and to our descendants."
The others nodded one after another, and no one responded.
The Su family has been able to get to where they are today because of the kindness they have received along the way.
Whether it was the noble lady at the border post who spoke up to help, or the masked master who escorted them all the way, or the Huo couple who came to their aid, and finally the unknown person who supported them from behind... the Su family will all remember it in their hearts.
Evil should be suppressed and good should be promoted.
The gate of the Su family's courtyard was closed again, and the women were cleaning up the mess in the yard.
The three little guys volunteered to help.
Tian Bao, the "master of Kung Fu", nestled in Grandma's arms with his eyes closed and dozed off. He sank into the space and cleaned the blood-stained pear needles one by one, his movements slow and expressionless.
Grandpa and grandma said that those people will come again and these pear needles will have to be used repeatedly.
Tianbao doesn’t understand what is good and what is evil.
She had only one idea, to scare those people so that they wouldn't dare to come to her again.
Tianbao is annoyed when someone comes to disturb their home.
Today, because she was at home, she didn't stab those people's hearts and eyebrows. In her limited memory, she heard the old people say that it would be unlucky if someone died in the family.
Those people are just lucky.
In the Huo family yard, which was only a dozen meters away from the Su family, Mrs. Huo also talked about the strange things with her husband after returning.
"I was in the yard at the time, and with my eyesight, I couldn't even tell when or from which direction the other party attacked. This person's skills must be superior to mine." She sat on a low stool and poked a finger at the thin man lying on the recliner next to her. "We've been here for more than ten years, and we didn't even know when this expert came here? Who do you think he is, and why would he help the Su family?"
Huo Ziheng was lying peacefully when a hand poked him. He opened his eyes helplessly, "Ah Xian, how can I know something that even you can't perceive? I'm just a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken."
"Tsk! They're always so capable of coming up with one scheme after another, but why are they so useless at the critical moment!" Mrs. Huo was extremely disgusted. "Look at the Su family. Those two women are younger than me and have already given birth to two children! There's no telling when my belly will grow big!"
“…”
"I just held her kid over there. He's so light and soft. If we have a daughter, with your features, she'll definitely be prettier and more attractive than the Su family's kid!"
“…”
"Just tell me when you're going to consummate your marriage with me! I, Huo, am telling you, don't try to do anything bad to me. Since I've taken you as my husband, you're mine for life. You can't run away!"
Huo Ziheng's forehead twitched slightly, and he could no longer bear it. "It's my fault that I'm useless. If I were useful, you would have seen who ran away in the end."
Mrs. Huo was beaming with joy as she was reprimanding the man, but suddenly he said something vulgar, and she was speechless, her old face suddenly flushed.
No, in the past, men would just look at her gently and listen to her complaints.
Why do you have the guts to talk back today?
What about rebellion?
She is the head of the family!
"What are you talking about? I was just talking casually. If I really disliked you, I would have run away eight hundred years ago. Why would I stay with you for more than ten years? And you still talk back to me, you are so rebellious!" The woman was so angry that her ears turned red.
The man was silent for a moment, then chuckled.
