Chapter 202 - 202 Old Marquis

202 Old Marquis

Because there were some details to discuss, Manager Sun returned to the village with Su Xiaoxiao.

He could not walk far so Xiaowu drove the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the hired carriage and thought that it was not as cheap as at the beginning of the year. The difference would allow her to buy a carriage.

Tomorrow, she would go to the market with Liu Ping.

“Do you have any different opinions about what I just said?” Manager Sun asked.

“Build another kitchen. Also, don’t dig small fish ponds in the backyard. There’s no need for these fancy things,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Manager Sun muttered, “Weren’t you distracted just now?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Is it difficult to mult.i.task?”

Manager Sun was speechless.

“You often make me wonder if I’m not smart enough.”

As they spoke, the carriage entered the village.

“Did something big happen to your village? It seems very lively.”

Manager Sun had been to the village several times and had never seen so many villagers.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it. More than half of the village was occupied. The other half had rushed over from the neighboring villages. They had probably heard about the Su family and specially came to join in the fun.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded calmly. “Yes.”

Manager Sun was about to say, “Forget it” when he saw someone carrying a feces bucket at the entrance of the Su family and splashing it on the closed door.

Manager Sun was stunned.

“Isn’t that the most respected family in your village? What public anger did they stoke?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s a long story. In a nutsh.e.l.l, unjust deeds lead to self-destruction.”

Had Old Su’s face been torn off in a day? No.

The family had been pretending for a long time and really treated themselves as almighty. They thought that their status would not be shaken no matter what. Little did they know that from the moment they took Su Cheng’s jade pendant for themselves, they were destined to end up like this.

Letting them live freely for thirty years was already letting them off easy.

However, everything was a double-edged sword. The villagers had been deceived for 30 years, so one could imagine the anger in their hearts.

At the entrance of the Su family, there were people splashing feces, smashing the door, and the villagers clamoring for the Su family to return the land in the village and all the rent they had collected over the years.

The Su family’s reputation collapsed overnight.

Manager Sun shook his head. “Heavens, I can’t believe it.”

At Little Su’s house, Su Yuniang was bandaging Madam Wu’s wound.

“What happened?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Madam Wu’s eyes were red.

As Su Yuniang bandaged her, she said, “The Liu family’s ancestral house collapsed. Fortunately, we ran away quickly. Otherwise, we would have been buried inside.”

Madam Wu was. .h.i.t by a beam and had a few cuts on her arm. She was bleeding a little. Fortunately, it was not too serious.

The sisters were playing in the Su family’s house. Liu Ping did not return from town, so the father and daughters escaped.

However, for the time being, they had nowhere to stay.

Madam Wu’s relationship with her maternal family was not bad. Unfortunately, her maternal family had a number of people and could not accommodate another person, let alone take in their family of four.

The Su family could not do it either. Every room was filled to the brim, so there was no s.p.a.ce at all.

Madam Wu was so worried that she couldn’t help but cry.

“I thought it was a big deal.” Su Xiaoxiao placed a stack of doc.u.ments on the table.

Madam Wu looked up in a daze.

Su Yuniang picked up the doc.u.ment and took a look. “Yo, you rented a shop?”

This girl was good at doing things!

Even men could not compare to her swiftness!

“There’s a ready-made room in the shop. You can stay there tonight, but the ingredients in the kitchen are not complete. You still have to make snacks here for the time being.”

However, this was not a problem. Because Father Su loved to snooze, the time at which they set up the stall was usually delayed for a full two hours.

The couple could wait for the children to wake up and drive the donkey cart over.

Madam Wu did not expect the problem to be resolved so easily. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that Daya could not resolve. It was great to meet her in this life.

On the other side, there was also a reply to Su Mo’s letter.

There was a certain risk in sending pigeons. After all, no one could guarantee that the pigeons would not be shot to death or hunted by large birds halfway through their flight. It could only be said that they were lucky.

Su Mo took the note from the messenger pigeon and went to Su Yuan’s study. “Father! Grandpa replied!”

“Hurry up and see what your grandfather said!” Su Yuan said.

He had absolute trust in his son, but Su Mo would never forget the rules because of his father’s trust.

“Yes.”

With his father’s approval, Su Mo took off the thin rope, opened the note, and read every word carefully. He said to Su Yuan, “Grandpa said to bring him back to the capital.”

Su Yuan said, “What else?”

...

Su Mo shook his head. “No.”

Su Yuan: “That’s… that’s it?”

Su Mo nodded.

“Sigh.” Su Yuan sighed helplessly.

He really respected his father, but sometimes, he was really helpless in regard to the latter’s reticence.

Perhaps it was because he was a general, but his father cherished his words like gold. If he could convey his thoughts in a word, he would definitely not use another word.

Su Yuan took the note and glanced at it.

Indeed, three of the six words were added by Su Mo himself. The original words were: bring back capital.

Su Yuan muttered, “What… does your grandfather mean?”

Su Mo smiled bitterly. “Father, you’re Grandpa’s biological son. If you don’t know, how can I guess Grandpa’s thoughts? You knew Grandpa 20 years before me.”

Su Yuan was speechless.

...

Su Yuan was at a loss. “I don’t know if this is legitimate or not. If we bring him back, won’t something happen?”

Su Mo said, “Perhaps Grandpa means to bring him back so that he can tell if he’s real or fake?”

Su Yuan wondered, “Who was the one who said that he couldn’t guess Old Master’s thoughts just now?”

But how would they bring him? Would they bring them all or only Su Cheng?

Grandpa was really…

Su Mo put away the note and said to Su Yuan, “Father, leave this to me.”

Su Yuan frowned. “Are you planning to go to Apricot Flower Town?”

Su Mo smiled. “Didn’t Father already agree to let me investigate it myself? Last time, I was busy with Second Brother’s wedding gift and didn’t have the chance to see them. This time, I have to see them with my own eyes.”

“Cousin! Cousin!”

It was Qin Yun.

The father and son ended the conversation at the right time.

Qin Yun strode in. “Cousin! Eh? Uncle is here too?”

Qin Yun was dressed in tight clothes today and held a big bow in his hand. It seemed like he was going out to hunt.

Qin Yun was the descendant of the Duke Protector’s Estate and the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and grew up in luxury. Any clothes he took off or food he saved was enough for a country b.u.mpkin family to eat for an entire year.

Thinking of Su Cheng and his children who had suffered in the countryside, Su Yuan suddenly felt a little upset.

“Uncle, you don’t look too good,” said Qin Yun.

Su Mo glanced at his father.

Su Yuan knew that he had lost his composure. The truth had yet to be investigated, so Su Cheng might not be his aunt’s son.

But why was he always thinking about Su Cheng and those two children?
