“But who knew that Zuo Youde was very cautious all the way, and I never found an opportunity.
But I also learned from them that Zuo Youde's father was recuperating in a nursing home and would not be back for a while.
I knew that if I wanted to retrieve my master's relics, I had to get close to Zuo Youde, so I went to him and begged him to let me stay in his home, using the deal between my master and him as an excuse.
He agreed very readily, but he assigned me a lot of tasks, such as washing clothes, cleaning... and even taking care of his excrement and urine every day.
I have almost endless work to do as soon as I open my eyes every day!
He didn't even give me any food and made me sleep with his black dog.
That's how I stayed at his house for half a year! Until last night, when I overheard a conversation between Zuo Youde and his wife.
It is said that Mr. Zuo’s health has improved recently. He will be released from the sanatorium today and will go to the Yonghe Hall in front to fulfill his vow!
He happened to have some official business to attend to, so he asked his wife to bring the master's relics to Old Man Zuo in front of the temple, saying that Buddhist items would be more effective if taken in front of the Buddha!
I remembered their conversation, so today I followed the two women. When I saw them about to enter the hall, I got anxious and… I snatched the things away!”
As he spoke, Bu Ku lowered his head, a look of guilt on his face. "Later... my sisters also saw it. I... I have let Master down."
"How can this be possible!"
Long Xiangling stood up from the futon and said angrily,
"Who is this Zuo? How could he do such a rotten thing? He's not even afraid of damaging his reputation! If I ever run into him, Xiaohua will definitely teach him a lesson!"
Although Lan Guoer was not angry after hearing this, she thought more about it.
"If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lost something, they would definitely inform Zuo Youde! They know that Buku stole the relic, and Buku has nowhere else to go in Kyoto, so they might find us here soon!"
Lan Guoer was not afraid of him, but she felt that a head-on confrontation would cause unnecessary trouble.
She looked at Buku,
"You can't stay here for the time being. Would you like to stay at your sister's house for a few days? How about we wait until this matter calms down and then make plans?"
Although Bu Ku is not very old, Lan Guoer found from his just-mentioned statement that he is a very opinionated child. From his words, she could also tell that he has been taught very well by his master, which is far beyond the normal cognition of his age.
"I do!" Bu Ku nodded, and then added,
"If it's not hard, I will do a lot of work and won't live and eat for free at my sister's house."
Lan Guoer sighed!
No child is born so sensible. Behind being sensible is kindness towards others, self-sacrifice, forbearance, grievances, and endless giving!
If Xiao Buku's mother were still alive, would she be happy that he was so sensible?
Lan Guoer shook her head. She didn’t know what Xiao Buku’s mother was thinking!
But as a mother, she hopes that her children can learn to please themselves first and then please others.
I hope that during this time of hardship at home, I can learn to love myself!
Without giving it any further thought and since there was nothing much to pack, the three of them locked the door and quickly walked towards the bus stop.
There was no way they could go to the department store today! They headed straight for the compound.
Su Guoyu saw that the two returned empty-handed, and Lan Guoer was holding a thin little bald boy in her hand, and asked in confusion,
"Didn't you two go to the department store? Where is this child?"
Lan Guoer took Bu Ku to sit in the living room.
It was almost noon, and all the Su family members except Su Xing and Yi Ru were there.
The triplets and Xiaojie were originally playing with glass balls. When they saw a strange child coming to their house, they all came over curiously.
"Yes, Mom, who is this little brother? Why has Lie never seen him?"
Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Jie's bald head, his watery eyes full of confusion.
Seeing that the old man and Su Guosheng also cast inquiring glances at her, Lan Guoer did not hide it.
"That's right. He can't complain. Today, my sister-in-law and I are going to..."
Lan Guoer told everyone Bu Ku's life story and experiences in detail.
"Zuo Youde?"
Su Guosheng frowned slightly, "This Zuo Youde you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, is most likely the director of the current Municipal Revolutionary Committee.
This man is cruel and ruthless. In recent years, many intellectuals and veteran revolutionaries have fallen into his hands!
If it's really him..." Su Guosheng's expression became serious, his brows knitted tightly, "I'm afraid it will be really troublesome!"
"Humph!" Old Master Su slapped the armrest.
"Who cares what kind of bullshit director he is! As a public servant, he doesn't serve the people, but instead secretly oppresses the people and acts tyrannically. He is an enemy of the country and the people!
Now we are in a new society where the people are the masters of their own destiny. I still don't believe that no one can control him. Do you really think that all my decades of revolution were in vain? "
The old man was obviously using his true energy! His whole body was surging with energy.
Su Guosheng shook his head slightly and said,
"Dad, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but Zuo Youde has something to rely on to be so arrogant!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Mr. Su, but all the eyes in the living room were directed towards him, waiting for his next words.
Su Guosheng did not keep the secret and said directly,
"Zuo Youde's father, Mr. Zuo, was once the mentor of the aforementioned person. I heard that he even risked his own life to save that person's life.
He also respected his teacher very much and would visit him every New Year! It is not an exaggeration to say that he regarded him as his second parent!
In the past two years, many intellectuals and veteran revolutionaries who were persecuted in the past have returned to their posts, and voices of dissatisfaction with Zuo Youde have been heard frequently. How could the higher-ups not be unaware of this?
But what about the end? "
At this point, Su Guosheng shook his head helplessly and asked himself,
"But nothing has been accomplished! Even if I don't tell you, you should be able to guess why.
Now, the life and death of Mr. Zuo can be said to be related to the rise and fall of the entire Zuo family, and it also directly determines Zuo Youde’s future!
As for this relic, Guo'er just said that it was used by Zuo Youde to maintain Mr. Zuo's life. What do you think...?
Su Guosheng glanced at everyone, his eyes filled with worry. "Will he give up so easily?"
Lan Guoer really didn't expect that Zuo Youde was actually involved with the person above! And from what Su Guosheng said, it seemed that the person above was also protecting him.
Although she didn't know much about the twists and turns in officialdom, she knew that if this matter came to light, even if they had reason and evidence to bring Zuo Youde to justice, it would probably cause the person above to feel estranged from her Su family.
Zuo Youde refused to give up, and they were reluctant to confront him directly.
If this happened to someone else, it would be really difficult to handle!
