"Ah, where...where to?" Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian looked at the person who came with some fear. They did not recognize the person in front of them and did not know where the other party was going to take them, so they were a little flustered.

Back in Xiyuan County, they used to think they were quite capable. Not only did they get Su Shengjun's job, but they also did very well in Xiyuan County and had a lot of respect in front of Old Madam Su. However, since coming to Beijing, they have seen what it means to be outmatched. Here, they can't afford to offend anyone. Even Su Qing, whom they used to have under their thumb, is now someone they can't afford to mess with.

In the past, they had thought about currying favor with Su Qing and getting benefits from her. Now, they don't even dare to think about it anymore. Even though they have no money now, they don't dare to think about going to Su Qing.

"Just come with me." The person said calmly, then opened the car door behind him.

Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian swallowed hard. Su Shengguo mustered his courage and asked, "Um, where are you taking us?"

"You'll see when you get there," the man replied calmly.

Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian carefully got into the car, and finally, the car arrived in front of a courtyard house.

"Where is this..." Zheng Erlian looked around and was about to speak to Su Shengguo in a low voice when she saw the gate of the courtyard house in front of her open, and Su Qing was standing inside.

"Su Qing!" Su Shengguo felt a sudden surge of panic. He knew all too well what fate awaited those who plotted against Su Qing. Although he and his wife had acted as witnesses in this incident, ...

Su Shengguo became increasingly anxious as he thought about it.

"Come in," Su Qing said calmly to Su Shengguo and his wife.

"Yes, yes." Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian hurriedly responded and entered the courtyard with some trepidation. They didn't know what Su Qing wanted to do with them.

After the three of them sat down in the main room, Su Qing poured tea and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Plans?" Su Shengguo blinked. Now, the old Su family members are either dead or in prison, and after all this time, only the four of them are left. Of course, Su Shengguo would never dare to include Su Qing in the old Su family now.

In the past, Su Shengguo would have wanted to build a good relationship with the Li family and Su Qing, and rely on the Li family's influence to gain a foothold in Beijing. But now, he doesn't think that way anymore.

“I was thinking… I was thinking of having our family of four go back to the village.” After some consideration, Su Shengguo said, “There’s no one left at the old house now, so your aunt and I are thinking of staying in the village. Lifeng still needs to study, so we’ll work hard to support him. As for Lidong, we’ll let him stay in the village and farm; he can support himself.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qing raised her eyebrows slightly. She hadn't expected that her uncle would be so much more down-to-earth than before.

"This is for you." Su Qing placed an envelope on the table in front of Su Shengguo and his wife.

"This, this is?" Zheng Erlian looked at the envelope, a thick stack of letters, and immediately guessed what was inside. Her heart pounded like a drum.

“You were witnesses in this matter, and I know that all the stolen money has been confiscated,” Su Qing said. “This money is for you; it’s enough for your expenses for the next two years.”

"This, this, Su Qing, thank you." Zheng Erlian was overjoyed. She had been worried about what to do, but now she was no longer worried. Now she had no other thoughts. She just wanted her family of four to be together peacefully. She didn't care about anything else, not even a little bit.

"In addition," Su Qing added, "I have already found someone to help Su Lifeng find the best middle school in the county. As long as he is willing to work hard, his future will be bright."

Su Lifeng was arguably the only person in the entire Su family who had never mistreated the original owner of the body. He had even spoken up for her once or twice. This was one of the few acts of kindness the original owner had received from the Su family. For this small act of kindness, Su Qing was willing to help Su Lifeng, but that was all.

"Really!" Su Qing's words surprised and delighted Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian. To get into the best middle school in the county, you need good grades. Originally, Su Lifeng's grades were quite good, but a series of family misfortunes directly affected his studies, which resulted in him not being able to get into a good middle school.

Now things are much better. They believe that as long as there are no other factors affecting him, Su Lifeng will definitely be able to improve his academic performance again.

"Thank you, thank you, Su Qing." Su Shengguo nodded to Su Qing hurriedly and said, "You don't hold a grudge and are still willing to help us. We were wrong to you before, we're sorry."

Thinking back on the past, Su Shengguo felt a pang of guilt.

Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly.

Forgive and forget? No, she held a grudge. After all, the original owner of this body had lost her life just like that. No one knew that this poor girl had left this world. Her death was so quiet that even the original owner's relatives didn't know she was gone.

The original owner left, all alone. No one cried for her, and no one saw her off. Apart from her, no one knew she was gone.

Therefore, she was very calculating and never showed any mercy to the Su family. If she did, she would be letting down the original owner who had suffered so much abuse and grievance.

The reason she helped Su Shengguo's family this time was simply because they had acted as witnesses and informants for her, and she had given them a reward; they were even now.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. If there's nothing else, you can leave. From now on, I have nothing to do with your Su family." Su Qing's voice was somewhat cold.

"No matter what, I have to say sorry. We'll be leaving now." Hearing Su Qing's words, Su Shengguo understood that Su Qing had not forgiven them. He sighed inwardly, grabbed Zheng Erlian's arm, picked up the envelope on the table, and said goodbye to Su Qing.

After Su Shengguo and his wife left, Su Qing felt a little down. She got up, lit an incense stick, and watched the smoke rise and fall. She silently prayed: If you have a spirit in heaven, you should be able to see that the Su family has all suffered retribution. Rest in peace. In your next life, I hope you can be a carefree and happy girl, loved by your family and have a wonderful life!

The days that followed were peaceful and uneventful. Su Qing was able to attend school without worry and finally had the peaceful days she had been longing for. Until one day, Li Huan shyly snuggled up to Su Qing and whispered, "Qingqing, um... Bei Ze proposed to me!"
