Chapter 15 Evil Begets Evil
The fact that the old lady could treat the wound was a wonderful surprise.
Fearing that Su Meng might not trust her, she chatted casually, recounting many amusing stories about her maternal grandfather's family.
He spoke in particular about the care he provided for Su Ada.
Su Meng sincerely thanked her, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandma!"
Su Ada's vital signs have returned to normal. With proper care, he will recover soon.
The next morning, while preparing daily necessities for Su Ada, she also bought some medicinal herb seeds, vegetable seeds, wheat seeds, and other crop seeds.
It's time to make use of the available farmland.
She originally wanted to grow some rice, but her limited agricultural knowledge restricted her dream.
I ate a quick steamed bun and then prepared to take a look at the Su Mansion.
At this time, the Su Mansion had already been marked with the sign of the Subdistrict Office.
The gate was open, and people could be seen walking around inside.
You can also see that the courtyard is still the same as before.
With a contented smile, Su Meng turned into the nearby vegetable market, hoping to find some rare medicinal herb seeds.
This is the city center and one of the largest vegetable markets in Shanghai.
There were many kinds of goods and the crowds were bustling.
Su Meng moved slowly with the flow of people from one stall to another, occasionally buying something she liked.
Suddenly, the crowd quieted down and stood on both sides.
But then a group of people wearing red armbands led a group of menacing figures as they walked over.
The second branch of the Su family, dejected and crestfallen, were held captive in the middle.
Second Grandma, supported by her two daughters-in-law, cried and cursed, "Why didn't you die sooner, you old hag?"
We haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness from your Su family; instead, we've been eating chaff and wild vegetables, drinking the northwest wind, and living a miserable life.
In the end, you even caused me to be demoted to a lower-level position.
Waaaaah... I don't want to live anymore...
Several children were also crying and making a fuss, but they were silenced by the glare of the people wearing red armbands.
The men from the second wife's family were ashen-faced, their expressions filled with anger and despair.
They kept a considerable distance from the old master Su, who was walking alone and staggering along.
Even now, they don't understand why their father, who possessed so much gold and silver, would have his entire family live a life of poverty and misery with him.
She was even willing to abandon her dignity in order to gain the favor of the first wife.
What's even more ridiculous is that the old man actually knew that the people they were fawning over were a pair of imposters who were actually murderers.
hehe!
Is this their father?
Yeah?
Old Master Su probably never imagined that the fire of cutting off the Su family's capitalist tail would burn him as well.
What he didn't expect was that the treasure under the grand master's chair that he had personally suppressed had vanished without a trace.
This is even more shocking than Sua's escape.
His family's incomprehension and accusations made him even more heartbroken.
He panicked when he realized he was about to be sent down to the countryside empty-handed.
Those who were sent to the countryside faced an almost certain death.
Besides, at his age, surrounded by wolf cubs, how many days can he live?
Old Master Su sighed, his hunched back bending even more.
He looked even more颓废 and aged.
Moving steps became even more difficult, like an old ox in its twilight years, about to collapse at any moment.
"I heard the Su family is in deep trouble. The richest man in China, Su, was betrayed by his own housekeeper, and now his fate is unknown. Even his house has been emptied. How pitiful!"
"Doesn't he have a daughter? Where is she?"
"Sigh! That girl is also a pitiful person. She was sent abroad by her nanny at a young age and then ignored."
I heard that he almost died from poisoning after he came back a few days ago, and the matter even went to the police station. I wonder if he's still breathing?
"Didn't they say that Old Master Su had already separated from his family? How come he's still being implicated?"
"I know that..."
Seeing that the group of people in red armbands was about to approach, Su Meng didn't have time to watch the show and quickly lowered her head and fled.
Although her household registration has been transferred out of Su Mianzhi's name, she still cannot escape the investigation if someone is determined to pursue it.
She didn't want all her hard work to come to nothing.
After watching the second wife's family enter the temporary detention center, I was surprised to see the scarred man hiding outside the detention center.
What does he want to do?
Should we break them out of prison?
Su Meng glanced at the bulge at his waist, then turned and left dejectedly.
The second wife's family being taken away was both unexpected and expected.
When the young master Su was young, he was too arrogant and made too many enemies. It is not surprising that someone took the opportunity to punish him.
Su Meng imagined his dejected, weary, and weathered appearance, and let out a heavy sigh of anger.

"Miss, I heard that the stepdaughter was almost taken away by the people with red armbands."
Haha! She was originally so adamant about not going to the countryside.
This time, it just wouldn't let go of the gate of the neighborhood committee office. Isn't that hilarious?
Su Meng put her things down and smiled in agreement, "This must be karma."
When I went to the subdistrict office to see Wang Yaoguo yesterday, I heard people say that one of Zhong Wanrou's purposes in getting close to Wang Guangming was to arrange for her to go to the countryside as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, karma has come back to haunt her so quickly.
This time, she must have gone to the countryside willingly.
Having eliminated yet another person who knew about the supplies in Guangzhou, Su Meng was overjoyed.
She hummed an unknown tune as she changed Su Ada's bandages, and he woke up.
"Who are you?" He suddenly opened his eyes, his cold and intimidating gaze like poisonous needles, dangerous and deadly.
He remained vigilant and wary.
Even a weak and sick tiger is still a tiger.
Su Meng suddenly met his gaze, her heart filled with fear. She struggled to control her legs, which wanted to run away, and smiled at him, "I am Su Meng."
"Su Meng? You're so grown up? I'm... cough! cough!... be careful of the second wife and the nanny, cough..."
He was out of breath and coughed laboriously.
After scanning the room, his gaze quickly traced Su Meng's features, and his slightly furrowed brows showed that he was in thought.
Su Meng picked up a glass of warm water and handed it to him, smiling as she said, "We're safe now. Uncle, have some water first."
She desperately wanted to know about her father's situation and the truth of what happened back then.
Just as he was about to speak, Ah Da weakly asked, "Where is this?"
Su Ada was still worried. Although her eyelids were drooping heavily, she gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, trying to stay awake and learn more.
"This is my maternal grandfather's house, in Yangliu Lane, a famous street in Shanghai."
"There's only an old lady left at your maternal grandparents' house. Don't worry about getting better; everything will be alright."
Su Meng finished speaking in one breath.
Su Ada finally couldn't hold on any longer. He closed his eyes helplessly, leaving behind a word as light as the wind, "Okay!"
The old woman wiped away her tears, "Poor child! How could those beasts do such a thing? Look how badly they beat him, leaving not a single part of his body intact."
Fortunately, heaven has eyes, and the wicked will eventually get their just deserts.
Su Meng silently packed away her medicine kit, feeling bitter inside.
Su Ada fell into the hands of the old master Su. Because she did not reveal her father's whereabouts or the location of the Su family's treasure, she was able to survive until she was rescued.
But where is her father?
Can we hold out until they come to our rescue?
Su Meng wanted to wait until A-Da woke up before asking him. Perhaps she could save her father without A-Da's help.
If we could rescue my father sooner, then the loss of those supplies is no big deal.
Su Ada woke up two hours later.
He immediately urged, "Go find the patriarch quickly, he's here..."
