Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

708 The Past

“Sit down.”

Zhou Zhi said calmly.

Lu Wensheng hurriedly sat down.

Zhou Zhi pushed the book to Lu Wensheng and said calmly, “You’ve written well recently. I’ll give you a break this year. I’ll allow you to go home and celebrate the new year. You can come back after the new year.”

“Your Highness, listen to me. Don’t be rash. If it’s written badly, I can change it. I can change it however you want. Don’t be rash and chop off my head… Wait, what did you just say?”

After hearing Zhou Zhi’s words, Lu Wensheng subconsciously fought for an opportunity for himself. However, as he spoke, he reacted. He didn’t seem to have heard that Zhou Zhi wanted to kill him just now. It seemed like he wanted to give him a break.

Zhou Zhi looked at Lu Wensheng as if he was looking at a fool.

Jin Si covered his mouth and coughed. He interrupted softly, “Mr. Lu, Master just said that you’ve been writing very well recently and is giving you a long holiday. You can go home for the new year. Come back again during the new year.”

“What? This is too exciting!!”

Lu Wensheng belatedly reacted and was overjoyed. He smiled until his mouth was almost behind his ear. He bowed to Zhou Zhi and said with a smile, “Thank you, Your Highness. My gratitude to you is like a river.”

He could finally go home for the new year. After being captured, he thought that he would never be able to go home again. Lu Wensheng’s eyes were filled with tears.

He missed home and wished he could grow wings and fly home immediately.

Jin Si held back his laughter. The scholar was easily frightened. After he heard the rumors outside, he was even more afraid.

In fact, his master had never planned to kill him. He was just scaring him to make him write more. However, Jin Si would not tell Lu Wensheng about this. It was good to be respectful and afraid.

“You may leave.”

Zhou Zhi raised his hand and waved it gently twice. He stopped looking at Lu Wensheng.

Lu Wensheng bowed, then turned around and went out. After leaving, he ran like a gorilla that had been released into the forest.

Jin Si watched from behind and blushed. This was really a rare sight.

In the room, Zhou Zhi heard Lu Wensheng’s voice and couldn’t help but smile.

He looked up at the window. The moon had already risen and the winter wind was cold. Zhou Zhi smiled. His cold winter had long passed.

Late at night, he got up and went to the bed to sleep.

After a long time, a smile appeared on his lips. Green vines grew between his fingers, and then gradually bloomed into various small flowers…

It was obvious that Zhou Zhi’s dream tonight was very beautiful.

When Su Xiaolu returned home, the family was still awake.

Lin Yaoyao carried the child. She was filled with maternal radiance. She had gained some weight and looked very gentle.

When Sun Baoqian looked at the child, she was a little envious. She thought about herself and couldn’t help but look at Su Hua.

Su Hua waved at Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, come and sit for a while.”

Su Xiaolu went over and sat down beside Madam Zhao. She hugged Madam Zhao’s arm and leaned on her shoulder.

Madam Zhao was relieved and gently stroked her daughter’s hair.

After dinner, they sat quietly for a while before returning to their rooms to wash up and sleep.

Not long after Su Xiaolu returned to her room, Su Hua came over.

Su Xiaolu smiled and spoke first. “Second Brother, do you want to undo the seal?”

Su Hua covered his face and coughed lightly. “Be proper.”

Su Hua entered and sat down at the table before saying, “How are things over there?”

Su Hua was asking about Old Master Su and Madam Wang.

After Su Xiaolu sat down, she said, “Before I entered the foreign land, they were still alive. They passed away a few months before I came out. The specific reason was because of money. A while ago, I got someone to get information from Su Chao. He said that they were angered to death by Su Dalang and Su Erlang.”

At this moment, Su Chong also came over. The siblings nodded at one another. Su Chong sat down and listened quietly.

Su Xiaolu continued, “Little Aunt had been taking care of them. The other two families were worried that Aunt would take all the benefits, so one night, late at night, the two families entered the room together and tied them up. They gagged them and forced them to hand over the money…”

Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s families searched up the bed and found dozens of taels of silver to split between them.

They even interrogated Madam Wang about whether she had given something good to Su Xiaozhi.

As soon as Madam Wang was free, she wanted to curse, but Su Dalang grabbed Old Master Su’s neck. If she dared to curse, he would strangle his father to death.

Madam Wang did not scold them. She only held a stick and hit them with tears streaming down her face. No matter who it was, they would be beaten up if they went forward.

Su Chao said that when Madam Wang was going to scold them, he personally saw Old Master Su shake his head hard at Madam Wang. Old Master Su did not allow her to scold them and let everyone know. Madam Wang had always listened to him, so she held back her anger.

Madam Wang’s voice was hoarse. She said, “No more, no more.”

The house had been searched thoroughly inside and out. When they really couldn’t find anything, the two families gave up. They believed that there was really nothing left and restored the house to its original state.

Of course, during this period, they were beaten up by Madam Wang. Su Erlang snatched the stick and threw it away, so Madam Wang hit them with her hands. She pinched or scratched them, she used all kinds of methods to vent her anger.

During this period, after Madam Li was scratched, she called out, “Damn old thing, you’ve really eaten too much delicious food. You’re so strong.”

Madam Zhou had been beaten up too, but in order not to be discovered, everyone endured it silently.

During this period, Old Master Su could not move and just watched in a daze. His turbid eyes were filled with tears.

After they all left, there was no more movement in the house. However, when Madam Li woke up the next morning, she went to take a look and realized that Madam Wang and Old Master Su had passed on. Then, the two families quickly came to an agreement to prepare their funerals. When Su Xiaozhi came to deliver food, they beat Su Xiaozhi up. They did not expect Su Xiaozhi to have gold on her.

Later on, Su Xiaozhi found the village chief, the clan elder, and the officer to ask for her gold back. She also left Southern Mountain Village and returned to Xiaohu Village.

That was what had happened.

Su Hua and Su Chong remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Su Chong said, “So no one knows when they died.”

Su Xiaolu nodded, but they were killed by Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s families. This was certain.

Old Master Su and Madam Wang’s health was already not too good, and they were treated like that by their own sons. Old Master Su was Madam Wang’s everything. It was normal for Madam Wang to follow him when he passed on because she could not withstand her grief.

Madam Wang had lived her entire life and only listened to her husband. Old Master Su was everything to her.

Su Xiaolu thought that Su Xiaozhi should have made the decision to ask for the gold back after meeting Little Niu.

Su Hua said slowly, “Their debts went with them when they died. It’s not bad. I’ll take care of Aunt. As long as she’s safe and sound. Shou and Yang are sensible too. I’ll take care of them. They’re worth it.”

In the future, those memories would really pass with the passing of Old Master Su and Madam Wang.
