Chapter 114 Remembering the Kindness
In the evening, the Su family held a small meeting when Xu Zhiyi and Su were not present.
Old Man Su: "Aze, we are completely relying on your sister Wanwan and her daughter for help, otherwise we would have been in Lincheng... Alas, our family doesn't have the ability to repay you now, but I hope you remember that we have owed you the kindness of your sister and niece along the way, well, we have to remember..."
Su Ze heard this and nodded solemnly: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Xiuzhen and I will keep it in mind. If Wanwan and Zhiyi need help in the future, we will definitely do it."
Qin also agreed: "Dad, Mom, let alone anything else, Mingchuan and Manman were able to save their lives thanks to Zhiyi. This is something we will never forget in our lifetime."
Then he looked at Su Mingchuan and Su Manman and said, "You also have to remember that your aunt and cousin are your saviors. When you have the ability in the future, you must repay them, understand?"
Su Mingchuan: "Mom, I've always remembered it in my heart"
Su Manman: "Mom, I will take care of my aunt and cousin in the future"
Hearing this, Old Lady Su smiled and said, "Girl, don't just talk!"
Su Manman: "Grandma, I will definitely do what I say"
Old Lady Su: “You!”
Xu Zhiyi also took out the cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the space, and now he can use the quilts at night! Especially when sleeping outside in the open, it gets cold at night!
Suddenly thinking of what happened today, he looked at Su who was folding clothes and quilts, and said casually: "Mom, I met Xu Xiaoju today."
Su paused while folding clothes, looked at Xu Zhiyi and asked, "What's wrong? Are they bothering you again?"
Xu Zhiyi shook her head: "No, I just met Xu Xiaoju, she said that the old man sold her and Xu Yunyue, and now Xu Xiaoju was sold to a fool as his wife"
Hearing this, Su couldn't help but think of her daughter. She didn't even fold her clothes, but put her hands on her waist and cursed: "This old man is so vicious! Was he a reincarnated poisonous snake in his previous life? It's ok for God not to rain, but there should be a thunderbolt, right? It's better to send this vicious old man to hell!"
Then he asked, "What about Xu Xiaoju? Given her personality, she will definitely not let you go easily today, right?"
Xu Zhiyi: "When I met her, she was caught for escaping and was beaten! She asked me for help, but I didn't save her"
"When I walked away, I looked back and it seemed that the son of that family was still protecting her. The family behind her even took her to see a doctor."
Su heard this and sighed: "Oh, who cares about her? If she doesn't know how to be content, she will only be greedy and selfish. If she doesn't change her nature, she will lose her life sooner or later."
"Oh, let's not talk about them. Ever since we severed our relationship, and ever since I realized it, they are just strangers. Their affairs have nothing to do with us."
Xu Zhiyi nodded, then went to the next room, intending to use the spiritual spring water to soak Shen Changan's legs again. It was inconvenient to soak his feet a few days ago because he was on the road to escape famine.
So I apply the compress on him every day, and it seems to be effective. At least his legs don’t hurt at all now!
The two brothers were half leaning on the bed and chatting, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Shen Changan immediately asked loudly, "Who?"
"It's me"
When Shen Wuyou heard that it was Xu Zhiyi, he quickly got out of bed and went to open the door, and asked happily: “Madam, why are you here?”
"Changan, I haven't applied the leg mask today. I've brought some water over. The scabs on the wound have fallen off now. I won't apply the mask tonight. I'll take a bath instead!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou quickly carried Shen Changan to sit on the chair, lifted up his trouser legs and waited.
Xu Zhiyi poured the compartment at the end of the basin into the bucket and carried it over to Shen Changan, then put its legs in the bucket to soak.
"Changan, do your legs have any reaction now?"
Shen Changan replied in surprise: "Madam, I can move my legs slightly just now" and then became dull again: "But I can't stand still yet"
Xu Zhiyi consoled him: "Hey, isn't everything going in a good direction now? Just take it one step at a time, and everything will be alright."
Shen Changan raised the corner of his mouth and responded: "Okay"
Shen Wuyou: "Brother, you will be fine"
Xu Zhiyi thought that the water had been delivered, and that he should go back to rest now that his task was completed. He stood up and waved, saying, "Wuyou, you can go back to sleep after Changan has soaked his feet. I'm going back to my room first. Good night."
When Shen Wuyou saw Xu Zhiyi was about to leave, he somehow stopped her!
Looking at Shen Wuyou who was holding him, Xu Zhiyi asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”
"No, my lady." After thinking for a while, it seemed that nothing really happened to him, so he had to let go.
After returning to the room, she saw that Su had already laid down. After listening to Xu Zhiyi mention Xu Xiaoju, her mind was now filled with thoughts of her Daya. Old man Xu even sold his two granddaughters whom he had loved for so many years, let alone her unfavored Daya.
Daya, I regret it so much. If I could wake up earlier and realize my cowardice and stupidity sooner, then... you would be able to live a good life, right?
If there is an afterlife, I hope you won’t meet me again. I am not worthy of being a mother.
Su was crying. When she saw Xu Zhiyi coming back, she quickly turned her face to wipe her tears, then moved away and let Xu Zhiyi sleep inside.
After lying down, Xu Zhiyi immediately felt that something was wrong with Su, so he hugged her arm and asked softly, "Mom, are you in a bad mood?"
Su turned sideways to face Xu Zhiyi, patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, mother. I just thought about the sad things in the past. I won't think about it anymore! Go to sleep!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi had no choice but to stop asking! He let Su pat his back like a child sleeping, until he fell asleep without knowing when.
The next morning, everyone borrowed the inn's kitchen and made a pot of noodle dumpling soup. After breakfast, everyone agreed to go to the street to buy things.
Thinking that it was not good to leave Shen Changan alone in the inn, he simply asked Shen Wuyou to push the cart and take Shen Changan with him.
They all went to the grocery store and bought some oilcloth. The next journey would be three winter days, so they had to set up a tent to rest at night. Otherwise, the wind would be strong at night and it would be bad to get sick.
Next was the grain shop. Everyone bought 70 kilograms of black flour and 20 kilograms of white flour, which would at least last them until the next city!
Xu Zhiyi also bought some food. Although she still had more than 200 kilograms of food left in her space, those were to be used secretly and could not be shown in public, so she also prepared some food with everyone else to hide her tracks.
For the rest of the time, everyone wandered around. Xu Zhiyi saw a little girl setting up a stall selling headbands at two copper coins each, so he stopped and picked out six.
There was one for each woman in the family, and the remaining one was for Wang Xiaohe.
It was not until noon that everyone walked back towards the inn.
