Chapter 96 The Real Treasure
Wanfu was so angry that he choked on his chest with blood.
Can't swallow, can't spit it out.
"Who in Fengyun City, inside and outside of it, doesn't know about the feud between us and the Xiao Su family? Bai Kui went straight to the Xiao Su family without any reservation. He shows that he doesn't take us at the Twelve Piers seriously at all!"
Master Wan Liu lowered his eyes, his gaze cold and dark. "Send a message to the leader immediately! Now that Bai Kui is intervening, the situation is no longer under our control. I was right. The Su family's power is unstoppable!"
"The most useless ones are the main branch of the Su family. They swore all sorts of promises in front of me, but even with dozens of heads, they couldn't even control a small peasant family. What a bunch of trash!"
"I heard that Su Liang came here the other day and still owed food? Where did he get the money?"
Wanfu sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm and disdain, "Selling your wife."
Not only can I get some money to get through the winter, but I can also save some food for my family. After weighing the pros and cons, there is nothing I can't do.
In the land of exile, what you see most is human nature.
Of course, Su Liang is not a good person, and they are not good people either.
"Until the leader returns to take charge, please don't worry about Tubeishan for now." Wan Liuye didn't say much about Su Liangjia's selling of people, but continued to explain the important matters. "The Twelve Piers suffered the most losses at Tubeishan. This time, we lost our patience and let Bai Kui pick up a good guy in vain."
"knew."
…
The cold winter in the Exiled Lands came suddenly, with almost no transition.
In November, the temperature dropped sharply and it became so cold that floating ice began to form in Qinghe Bay.
Tianbao’s first birthday is in November, November 11th.
Old Mrs. Su got up early in the morning and started working with her two daughters-in-law.
I asked Mrs. Huo for some red paper and painted the shells of the boiled eggs red.
Su Xiuer kneaded the dough and prepared a bowl of noodles.
Although their life was poor, they still wanted to celebrate their baby's birthday to the best of their ability.
A red egg, a bowl of longevity noodles, and a festive ceremony can always be given.
Tianbao knew that her grandparents were going to celebrate her birthday. She heard it when the family was discussing it last night.
That day, the little baby neither went to the pharmacy to look for treasures nor went to his master's house to listen to books. He just sat in the yard at home, quietly and well-behaved.
When the family members were busy, her eyes followed them.
It revealed hope and joy that she herself was not aware of.
Su An and his two younger brothers were nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where they went to play.
It was not until almost lunchtime that everyone in the house arrived.
The three naughty monkeys are back.
Dubuqin and Duandao are here.
Even Huo Ziheng brought Huo here.
Although the weather is cold today, it is sunny.
The kitchen was packed with people, making it lively in the cold winter.
"Sweet baby, here, this is a little doll I made from clay this morning. I give it to you! I hope you grow up quickly!" The little child couldn't wait any longer and was the first to take out the gift he had prepared and carefully put it in his sister's hands.
The gift was prepared late, and the mud was just kneaded and was still soft.
If you're not careful, it can be easily squashed.
This thought flashed through my mind, but before I could remind my sister, I saw that the carefully prepared clay doll had turned into a lump of mud again in her sister's hands.
The laughter from the kitchen almost shook the hut down.
Su Wen also had a gift, a slingshot made of small branches.
What Su Wu took out was a dog-beating stick, the only difference between it and a fire stick was that the skin had been peeled off.
Su An regretted it so much when he saw this. If he had known, he would have made a wooden thing! Oh, how stupid!
"My little one is one year old now. Grandpa Du gives you the gift of Sui Sui Pills. Eat them and you will be safe and sound for the rest of your life!" The gift from Du Buqin is a small pill that doesn't look very good in color, but it is very effective.
Eating the cub can help you grow taller quickly.
Lengthen bones.
Broken Blade gave him a wooden sword with a scabbard. "If you can use this sword to cut tofu without breaking it, I will give you a real one."
Huo's turn was the last. She pulled out a pair of red hairbands from her bosom and personally tied them to Little Sweetie's pigtails. "This is the first time you've been so generous. Humph, Little Sweetie, from now on, you can't call me Auntie anymore. You have to call me Master's Wife. Do you understand?"
Tianbao had never experienced this before, with his arms full of gifts. His heart felt heavy and full, as if it was filled with warm stones.
She lowered her head and looked at those things, her eyes blinking constantly, and she loosened her arms a little more, for fear of breaking the things in her arms.
After a moment, a large hand touched the back of her head. "Are you happy, sweetheart? From now on, on every birthday, your grandpa, grandma, your parents, and our whole family will celebrate your birthday well."
Tianbao looked up and saw his grandfather’s smiling face with wrinkles in front of him.
Looking at her with a gentle smile were her grandma, her parents, her uncle, her aunt, and her aunt.
There are also Grandpa Du, Uncle Broken Knife, and Master and his wife.
The three brothers smiled the silliest and looked happier than her.
Tianbao's eyes curved into half moons and he nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
She is Tianbao, Su Jiuni from the Su family, one year old.
From today on, everyone she sees is the real treasure she wants to protect.
Today's dishes are particularly rich.
Knowing that today was Tianbao's birthday, Duan Dao made a special trip to Fengyun City and brought back two live chickens.
A table full of fresh meat and pasta, cooked skillfully, adds luster to the day that deserves celebration.
Because there were so many people, the women and children occupied one table, while the men were shoved aside and gathered at a smaller table around the stove to cook wine. "Today is your apprentice's birthday, and your wife brought a gift for Tianbao, and as a proper master, you didn't show any appreciation?" Du Buqin still disliked Huo Ziheng, snorting and finding fault.
Huo Ziheng smiled faintly and raised his wine bowl to toast the empty air, "Gifts don't have to be physical objects. Anything that is pleasing and makes Tianbao happy is a gift."
"That's nonsense, I don't understand!"
Shaking his head, Huo Ziheng looked at Old Man Su, "Brother Su, it's winter now, and spring will come in March next year. Have you ever thought about farming?"
"Farming?" Old Man Su and his two sons looked up at the same time, not knowing what Huo Ziheng meant. "We used to dig in the soil to make a living in Dahuai Village. If we could farm, why wouldn't we want to? But Mr. Huo knows the reason..."
"If you want to farm, you can open up a few acres of land before the wasteland freezes over. Then you can prepare seeds and plant in the spring." Huo Ziheng smiled and didn't beat around the bush. "Bai Kui's visit earlier was a favor to me. If you trust me, then listen to me, and no one will dare to cause trouble again."
The men of the Su family were mixed with joy and doubt. Their lips trembled with excitement and they were speechless for a while.
Du Buqin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he drank the whole bowl of wine and slammed it on the table. "What's so scary about planting it if you want? I can't say anything else about Huo Ziheng, this evil guy, but when it comes to his cunning, he has more bamboo sieves in my pharmacy! Plant it!"
Old Man Su's breathing became increasingly rapid, and his face grew redder as he drank. Finally, he imitated Old Man Du and slammed the table, "Grow...Grow!"
