Chapter 420: Like a Dog About to Go Mad
Although Tianbao didn't say some things, Bai Yu did not miss the impatience in her eyes.
He pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Our main goal in going to Xiling this time is to capture the traitors of the Qianji Sect. Catching the Iron Man is secondary. And given Wen Renjing's cautious and meticulous nature, he certainly wouldn't leave the prepared Iron Man where it is and wait for others to catch him all at once. Tianbao, you stay home this time. I'll go with my godfather."
Tian Bao shook her head. "I can choose not to go this time, but what about next time? What about the next time? The other countries regard me as a great enemy. The situation can only be completely settled if one of both sides dies. Otherwise, my Su family will live in fear every day."
Three years ago, there was a general amnesty, but my grandparents still never set foot outside the place of exile, not even leaving Tubei Village, and they didn't even dare to contact their relatives in their hometown.
Because they were afraid of causing trouble for her.
This is what Tianbao cares about most.
Bai Yu understood, and a cold light appeared in the depths of his eyes. "I will try my best to deal with them—"
"It's not that you can, it's that we can."
The elders' calls came from the kitchen again. Tian Bao stood up and tapped the young man's forehead with his finger. "Let you go by yourselves. I'm worried that the next time I see you, you'll be turned into tin men."
Bai Yu, "..."
The three Su brothers, who had vaguely heard the last few words, leaned over and asked, "What do you mean by turning into a tin man?"
Bai Yu raised his lips and chuckled, "Tian Bao said, let Wen Renjing turn into a tin man."
The three brothers said, "That's a good idea! Those who attack others will be attacked!"
"Eat first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to attack Wenren."
"Let's go!"
…
March is not over yet, and the children have come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival, go through the busy spring season, and are about to leave again.
The women of the Su family were really sad this time.
He Daxiang sat at the doorway of the main hall, slapping her legs and cursing, "Did you think I didn't know that those two bastards Su Suwen and Su Wu deliberately ran away to get away from my ears? Mother, sister-in-law, don't you think this is outrageous? When they were seventeen or eighteen years old, I thought it was okay, they were still young! I'll let them have fun for a few more years! No need to rush to get married! As a mother, I think it's open-minded enough, right? Well, now you even think I'm nagging! What healthy young man in his early twenties doesn't get married? It's not like our family was so poor that no girls were willing to marry into our family!"
Besides, she just mentioned it a few times in various ways to make them feel a little urgent, but she hasn't really done anything yet!
Liu Yuelan came over to sit beside her, carrying a small stool. Her voice was even more sorrowful than hers. "You're already so worried, not to mention me. Su An is one year older than Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu! With his uncontrollable temper, I'm afraid I'll have to wait another ten years before I can drink tea served by my daughter-in-law. And Tian Bao, she'll be eighteen soon. I don't even dare to mention this matter in front of her... Which boy dares to come to her house and propose marriage? Can you help me find one? Who dares? Not to mention the outer city, you can't even find one in Fengyun City. Any boy would wet his pants if she stares at him, ah!"
He Daxiang, “…” Suddenly, she felt that her troubles were nothing at all.
Her sister-in-law was much more worried than she was.
Su Xiuer also came out of the house and sat next to her two sisters-in-law, sighing softly, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, at least you still have children to worry about. I really don't want to have such worries."
Liu Yuelan, He Daxiang, "..."
That Xiu'er is the worst.
This kind of thing really shouldn't be mentioned in front of Xiu'er.
To comfort Xiu'er, He Daxiang immediately turned her guns on the Chen family, who were thousands of miles away. "If that family hadn't delayed you, Xiu'er, you would have had both a son and a daughter long ago! The old woman in the Chen family didn't do good deeds, so she deserved the fate of having no descendants! If I had known this earlier, I would have rushed them out with a broom when they came to propose marriage!"
"Don't say these words anymore. Luckily Xiu'er jumped out early. Good fortune is yet to come!"
"Yes, yes, good fortune is yet to come! Don't worry! It's Qingming Festival in a few days. After we finish tending to the herb garden tonight, we can call the women in the village and go pick mugwort together!"
"Okay, the children are not here, and we don't need much mugwort leaves just for our own consumption. We can pick enough in half a day."
The three women tacitly changed the topic. Old Lady Su was in the main room cutting cloth, with a helpless smile in the corners of her eyes.
Everyone has their own problems, and you have to let go of them.
For example, she and her husband had let it go a long time ago. The children had grown up and had their own ideas. They were raised by the old man and his family, and their horizons were no longer limited to the few acres of land at home. Their future depended entirely on their own luck.
All these old guys need to do is stay home safely and not let their children worry.
"Making clothes for babies again?" Old man Su was lying on a recliner, chatting with his wife with a smile.
Old Lady Su's eyes wrinkled a little more as she smiled. Her hands kept moving as she whispered, "When Xiu'er got married, Du Lao prepared some good medicine. We might have a new baby in a while, so we need to prepare clothes for them early. When Xiaoan and his three brothers and Tianbao were born, our family was not well off and we couldn't prepare anything for them. Now that conditions are better, we don't lack fabrics and other things, so we should prepare more."
"Okay, prepare some more! Get a few more pairs of Tiger shoes too. Bring me the scissors, I'll cut the uppers for you!"
There was a murmur of conversation in the main room, with occasional laughter spilling out, intertwined with the snoring of the man taking a nap, which was plain and warm.
In the Huo family yard.
Huo Ziheng moved a recliner and lay in the shade under the eaves, enjoying the breeze and gazing at the clouds rolling in the sky, with a faint smile on his lips.
The sound of a woman cracking sunflower seeds was heard beside my ears. "What are you laughing at? Are you secretly happy? Why don't you learn from the Su family across the street? They chat all day long and it's so lively. I'm with you, and my mouth is so idle that I can only crack sunflower seeds!"
The man turned around and looked at the complaining woman with a smile, "Should I recite the Thousand Character Classic for you?"
"...Forget it, just shut up. I might as well be cracking melon seeds! Listening to you reciting makes me want to sleep!" Huo was still feeling indignant after complaining, and pretended to pinch the man's arm fiercely, with such great force that not even a wrinkle was left.
This caused the man to laugh softly.
Mrs. Huo spat with a smile and continued to eat melon seeds, watching the clouds floating in the sky with the man. Her eyes were filled with satisfaction and peace brought by the peaceful days.
On the other side is the Bai Mansion.
Bai Kui had been running around in the living room for several days, almost stepping out a path on the floor.
The old butler was also frightened for several days.
After the young master left home this time, he always felt that something was wrong with the head of the family, like a dog that was about to go mad at any time, baring its teeth and ready to bite people.
