Chapter 253: Something Even Stranger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wenwu immediately ran to the village when he returned. He started panting because he ran too fast.

He thought of surprising his parents when he came home. Of course, his job was dangerous then, so he took longer to return. Still, he earned two silver taels and was so excited that he could not wait to give them to his parents.

Su Wenwu knew everyone would also be excited as even he had never seen two silver taels in person before. He was thrilled.

However, he was standing at the door looking at the scene inside and smelled the strong fragrance. Su Wenwu thought he was hallucinating, so he dared not step inside as he wondered whether or not that was his home.

He had not been home for more than three months, yet his home had drastically changed. Su Wenwu knew his family’s conditions best as they typically ate coarse grain buns with wild vegetables.

They barely had any oil, either. Even if there were oil, the family would only use a little on the wild vegetables. Still. wild vegetables and coarse grain buns could not emit such a delicious fragrance. It was so fragrant that Su Wenwu could smell it at the door.

‘They must’ve used a lot of oil.’

He did not know that he was smelling sesame oil that Su Binglan made from peanuts, hence the natural fragrance.

Rumble!

Su Wenwu’s stomach growled with hunger. He was not hungry initially, but after smelling the delicious fragrance, it would be strange if it did not arouse his appetite.

Also, he saw something even stranger. His sister was helping around the house, and everyone talked and laughed while his two nephews called out to Su Binglan sweetly.

‘Did someone heal Father’s foot? He was limping before I left, so when did it heal? Also, the doctor said there was no way to heal Fathers foot.’

Su Wenwu knew his father rarely spoke, let alone laughed when he severely injured his foot, but now, Su Fengmao spoke loudly and laughed even more heartily. He also walked steadily and quickly while Shen Qiuhua was laughing happily.

Su Wenwu also noticed horses, oxen, carts, and donkeys in the courtyard.

IT-That’s… Can my family afford horses? We couldn’t even afford donkeys or cows in the past.’

He knew the village conditions best, and anyone who owned a cow meant that a family was well-off. Su Wenwu wondered if he had misremembered or if maybe he was dreaming.

He dared not dream of such things in the past as he felt it was good enough to have food and clothing. Still, he wanted to earn money so his family could live good lives.

He could not find a way to heal his father’s foot, but it seemed that everything was better at the Su family home now. It was even better than he had imagined. Su Wenwu wondered if he was still asleep as he pinched his thigh hard.

He felt pain and thought, ‘That means I’m awake. So, what I’m seeing is real!’

Nonetheless, he had been away for more than three months, so how could the family change so much? It was only summer when he left the village for work; it was now autumn, and the Mooncake Festival had arrived.

Su Wenwu stood at the door and stared blankly.

The atmosphere in the house was cheerful, and everyone was busy with the hotpot that night, so no one noticed Su Wenwu was at the door.

While the three little ones played, they saw Su Wenwu at the door. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were delighted, saying, “Third Uncle is home!”

The two little ones called Su Wenwu, and only then did he return to his senses. He looked at his two nephews running over and habitually carried them. The others only noticed he had returned soon after.

Su Wenzhe looked toward the door and said in a daze, “Hey, Third Brother is

Su Wenxiu was also thrilled when he saw Su Wenwu. “Is that really you, Third Brother?!

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao excitedly put down their things and went to the door to surround Su Wenwu.

Shen Qiuhua looked at her third son as her eyes reddened. “You didn’t even send us letters when you were out there. It’s been so long, and you just came back? You have no idea how worried we were about you.”

Previously, Shen Qiuhua could not feel at ease, even though her family had improved because her youngest son had not returned. Whenever she went to bed at night, she considered whether or not Su Wenwu was in danger when he was out there.

Shen Qiuhua almost cried when she saw Su Wenwu had returned safely.

Su Fengmao patted Su Wenwu’s shoulder, saying, “It’s good that you’re finally home. Still, you knew to come home in time for the Mooncake Festival just to eat good food, didn’t you? You little brat.”

His words also eased everyone’s mood.

Su Binglan looked at her third brother and thought he was not quite the same as Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu.

Su Wenwu was only sixteen years old but looked more sensible and imposing. Moreover, looking at his sturdy frame, Su Binglan felt he had excellent potential for martial arts.

Her third brother was more handsome, and his face resembled a sculpture’s as he probably became more tanned from being out there. However, it was just the right amount of tanning and not over the top.

Su Wenwu looked striking, but he looked like a boy whenever he smiled shyly, just like a teenager on a basketball team in the modern world.

Su Binglan looked at her third brother and smiled as the family no longer needed to worry about him. Everyone surrounded Su Wenwu and asked him all sorts of questions.

“How was it out there?”

“Why did it take you so long to come home?

“Do you notice how thin you’ve gotten? Did you not eat well or sleep well out there? You’ve lost weight.”

“Wenwu, I know how you felt out there the best. It’s best to stay home.

Honestly, don’t go back out there, man.”

“Wenxiu is right, Third Brother. Since our familys conditions have improved, you don’t have to leave again. Otherwise, everyone will worry about you.” “Wow, Wenwu, your body is as hard as iron!”

“Yeah, you!re worthy of being a martial arts student, Third Brother. I think you’ll be fine out there because you’re so muscular.”

Everyone talked to Su Wenwu excitedly, but he did not know who to respond to first as he was stunned. He opened his mouth to say something but did not know which question to answer.

He was even more puzzled when his gaze fell on the beautiful mooncakes. He felt hungry just looking at them.

At that moment, Su Binglan said smilingly, “Father, Mother, don’t smother Third Brother since he’s exhausted from his journey home. Let him rest so we can have dinner later.”

Everyone returned to their senses when they heard Su Binglan i s words. “Oh, right. Go and rest, Wenwu. We’ll have dinner soon.”

“Yeah, we’ll have hotpot and mooncakes tonight. Theyre delicious!”

“Quick, come in.”

Fortunately, the weather was not too cold that day. Just like that, the family pulled Su Wenwu into the house. Su Wenwu looked at his sister and felt that she had changed drastically. His sister looked gentle and even smiled at him.

“Third Brother!” Su Binglan even called him Third Brother.

Su Wenwu was flattered, stuttering, “Y-Yes, Little Sister? He felt his tongue twist.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s great to have you back, Third Brother. You don’t have to go out there anymore. Go and rest. We’ll have a hotpot in a while.” She was stirring the sesame oil as she spoke, and the fragrance wafted throughout the house. It was so fragrant that Su wenwu instantly became hungrier.

He had many doubts but was stunned because he did not know which question to ask first. Nonetheless, he was hungry and did not have much strength..
