Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were already a few people gathered at the entrance of the Su family’s house. These people had followed Zeng Qing over. As they were strangers, everyone was more curious about what they were here for.
Madam Zou was also standing outside the door. She saw that Zeng Qing and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the jealousy in her heart had reached its limit.
When did the Su family get to know such a rich person?
After being neighbors for so many years, this was the first time she had seen such a rich person come to her door.
Could they be a distant relative of theirs?
Madam Zou’s mind was filled with a lot of things.
The villagers at the side began to chatter.
“What do you think those people are here for? Don’t tell me they’re visiting relatives?”
“I don’t think that’s likely. Do you think Su Jidong has any relatives like that?”
“That’s true. We’ve been facing the yellow soil for generations. How can they have such rich relatives?”
“That’s right!”
Madam Zou said sarcastically, “Maybe they offended someone they shouldn’t have. Look at how fierce those people are. One look and you can tell that they’re not good people.”
When Zeng Qing heard this, the corners of his mouth almost twitched. He glanced at his subordinates. If he had known earlier, he would have changed to a few friendly-looking people. Look at how frightened these people were!
The guard touched his nose innocently. These people were really too shallow. Although they looked a little fierce, they could not even bear to step on an ant to death. There was probably no one in this world who was kinder than them.
The villagers at the side echoed, “I wouldn’t have thought so if you hadn’t mentioned it. Now that you mention it, I really feel that those people don’t look friendly.”
“As soon as they arrived, I could tell that those people were not to be trifled with. They were exactly the same as the thugs in the gambling den in town.” As soon as he said this, there was an uproar outside the courtyard.
“The thugs in the casino? Could it be that Su Ze went to the casino to gamble and now the people from the casino are here?”
“Oh my, that’s terrible. There’s someone from the neighboring village who went to the gambling house to gamble. In the end, his hand was cut off by the people from the gambling house.”
“Really?”
“How can this be fake? Just ask around. Those people in the casino only recognize money and not people. If they don’t pay up, they will die.”
“If that’s the case, then Su Ze is finished. He can do anything at such a young age, but he has to learn from others and gamble.”
The innocent Su Ze:
Today, he had finally experience what nonsense really meant.
These people could completely rely on a little something to imagine a lot of irrelevant things and finally ruin someone’s reputation.
Scowling, he walked over. “What are you talking about? I’m not going to gamble. These people aren’t from the casino, either.”
If he didn’t explain clearly, the entire village, no, the entire town, would know that Su Ze’s limbs had been cut off because of gambling tomorrow.
In that case, his reputation would be ruined in the future. How could he get a wife? He would just be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
The villager asked curiously, “If they’re not from the casino, who are they?” Could they really be a relative of the Su family?
Su Ze raised his chin and said proudly, “My sister saved someone last time. Who knew that that person was the master of the county? They came to my house today to thank my sister for saving his life.”
Su Ze turned to look at Zeng Qing and said, “Old Master Zeng, say something!” He couldn’t possibly be the only one talking here, could he?
Zeng Qing smiled and explained to the villagers, “That’s true. Madam Su saved my life. I specially came to thank her today.”
When the villagers heard this, they fell silent.
Su Li had saved a drowned child by the river. The entire village knew about this, so it was not strange for her to save another old man.
When Madam Zou heard Zeng Qing’s words, she was extremely jealous. Why wasn’t she the one who saved him? If she was the one who saved him, wouldn’t she be rich?
Su Ze waved his hand and said, “Everyone, disperse. We have to entertain our guests!”
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, a portion of the villagers left. They still had a lot of things to do in their fields.
Another group of people did not want to leave and continued to stand outside to watch the show.
Su Li said to Zeng Qing, “Come in and sit first!”
She did not want to be discussed by the villagers again.
Zeng Qing glanced at the door and nodded. “Alright, sorry to trouble you!”
Su Li asked Su Ze to bring Zeng Qing’s men to the central room while she went to the kitchen to make tea for them.
Zeng Qing took a sip of tea and asked in surprise, “Madam Su, what kind of tea is this?”
A refreshing fragrance lingered in his mouth and teeth. What surprised him even more was that there was a hint of bitterness in the fragrance. After living for so long, this was the first time he had drunk such tea.
Su Li said, “I added some herbs to clear the heat and detoxify poison from one’s body. I also added jasmine, so the taste is more unique.”
Zeng Qing was enlightened. “I see!”
Madam Su was really a wonderful person. She could even think of such a method.
Su Li smiled and turned around to go to the courtyard to put away all the herbs that she had dried in the sun. These herbs had been in the sun for a few days and had already met the conditions to be processed into powder.
Seeing that he had nothing to do at home, Su Ze took the hoe and started to hoe in the vegetable garden beside his house. The vegetable garden was also close to his house. If anything happened, he could immediately run home.
Before Su Ze left, he said to Su Li, “Sis, I’m going to the vegetable garden to dig the ground and plant chili. If anything happens, call me.”
Su Li replied, “Alright, go ahead!”
Su Li’s intention was to leave a small piece of planting vegetables and use the rest to plant chili. As it happened to be autumn harvest, according to their previous habits, the land at home was about to be emptied. Now that they could even plant chili, Su Jidong and his wife naturally raised their hands in agreement.
Zeng Qing felt a little bored sitting there. He looked at He Qingyao and He Qingmu, who were quietly reading. He listened carefully and realized that they were reading Thousand Character Classic. They did not seem to be stuck at all. It seemed that they had learned it for a period of time.
He stood up and walked over, asking despite knowing the answer, “Little kids, what are you reading?”
He Qingyao looked up at him and kindly answered, “It’s the Thousand Character Classic!”
Zeng Qing nodded and asked, “Did you go to school? Or did you ask a teacher to come back and teach you?”
He Qingyao said proudly, “We didn’t go to school. My mother taught us. My mother is amazing. She knows everything.”
When He Qingmu heard He Qingyao’s words, he nodded vigorously to express his affirmation. “Yes, my mother is even more powerful than the teachers in the academy.”
Zeng Qing laughed when he heard their words. They were really two silly children. How could Su Li compare to the teachers in the school?
“What are you laughing at?” He Qingyao was a little unhappy when he saw him smiling.
He Qingmu widened his eyes and glared at him. “That’s right. What are you laughing at? Have you memorized all the words on this book?”
Riceball also raised his head and stared at Zeng Qing. His expression was filled with hostility, and he looked like he wanted to take a bite of him immediately..
