Chapter 66 Returning Home (2/2)



"Sanzhu, stop yelling. Go, go to town and bring Sizhu back. There's something going on, something serious."

Zhao Erzhu said hurriedly.

Even though Zhao Sanzhu was not very perceptive, he knew that something really happened and was panicked for a moment, but at this moment, the ox cart of Li Erniu from the village had already gone to deliver the goods.

Zhao Sanzhu had no choice but to walk to the county. On the way, he met an ox cart from another village, so he got on the cart and went straight to Master Zhao's mansion in the town to look for Zhao Sizhu.

Seeing Zhao Sanzhu walking away in sweat, saying something happened at home, Zhao Sizhu knew it was a big deal, so he quickly asked Master Zhao for leave to go home.

Master Zhao could only shake his head helplessly.

Sizhu is a hardworking and smart child. He is a potential student. However, he started learning too late, so what he learned in childhood is basically useless.

Since he started school, Master Zhao has paid special attention to his studies, but he also knows that haste makes waste, and sometimes he gets anxious.

I wish I could rip open his skull and pour all my knowledge into it, but unfortunately, I can't.

As expected, one day's study time was not enough to catch up with the progress, so sometimes during breaks, Master Zhao would give Zhao Sizhu extra homework.

Mr. Zhao was very unhappy that Ruo still wanted to ask for leave.

"Teacher's student's home..."

"Go ahead," Mrs. Zhao agreed, her eyes almost rolling to the back of her head.

"Come back as soon as you finish your housework."

"yes."

Zhao Sizhu also knew that the teacher cared about him. He did not want to disappoint his family's expectations and the teacher's intentions, so he studied hard every day.

But he had fallen behind too much, and studying was different from doing hard labor, so he just had to grit his teeth and get through it.

The shame in my heart is beyond words.

"Zhao Sizhu, I heard your family has become rich. You're rushing back, aren't you going to inherit the family business?"

Some of his fellow scholars laughed at him.

Some of these people are from the town, and some are from the surrounding villages. Each of them has his own foundation and they look down on the nouveau riche Zhao family.

Zhao Sizhu didn't want to cause trouble, so he avoided it whenever he could, devoting himself to his studies. Once he gained fame, these people wouldn't dare look down on him anymore.

"Fourth brother, stop talking nonsense and go."

Zhao Sanzhu couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled Zhao Sizhu out. When they arrived at the parking lot, they spent a hundred coins, hired an ox cart and returned to Hexi Village.

"What happened at home?" Zhao Sizhu was still confused.

Zhao Sanzhu was also confused. He said, "I don't know either. My second brother and third sister disappeared this morning. When they came back, they were acting strangely. They asked me to come and call you. Maybe something really happened."

Zhao Sanzhu frowned. The Zhao family had only been through a few days, so they must not let anything unexpected happen.

When Sanzhu and Sizhu rushed home, Zhao Dazhu and Zhao Laodi also came back one after another. They were already worried about Zhao Erzhu and Zhao Taohua, so they rushed back in an especially hurry.

I was relieved when I got home and found that everyone was asleep.

"Hurry up and tell me what's going on. You won't say a word no matter how I ask you. You're like two taciturn people," said Old Mrs. Zhao, jumping up and down anxiously.

As soon as Zhao Taohua came back in the morning, she threw herself into her mother's arms like a poor little child, thinking that her mother had run away in the middle of the night and didn't want her anymore.

Zhao Taohua comforted Sui'an with heartache. It was the first time she saw Sui'an so sad. She felt guilty. She, a single mother, suddenly became a mother, and it seemed that she had many responsibilities.

Just now, Sanzhu went to find Sizhu, while Erzhu and Taohua just sat there, refusing to answer any questions about what happened last night.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

Seeing that everyone in the Zhao family was present, Zhao Taohua finally let Sui'an go. She stood up and explained to Old Lady Zhao, "We didn't tell you just now because it was too troublesome to explain. If we told you once, we would have to tell everyone else as well. That's why we waited until everyone was present before we told you."

In fact, when Zhao Taohua first came to this world, she had thought about keeping the spiritual fruit for herself, because this was information she knew, and it should be her opportunity.

During this period, she worked together with the Zhao family and loved each other. She loved this big family with all her heart, so she gave up the idea of keeping it all for herself.
