Jiang Xunzhong was stunned for a moment, looking at San Ya in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

San Ya knew it very well, and was afraid that Jiang Xunzhong would misunderstand that she came here for a free meal, so she quickly found an excuse: "Oh, I came here to play with Xier."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took Xier's hand and hurried away, leaving Jiang Xunzhong standing outside the door with a confused look on his face.

Jiang Ziling, who was inside the room, had a blank expression on his face. He looked coldly at Jiang Xunzhong at the door, and said in a calm tone with a hint of alienation, "What's the matter?"

This question seemed to be mixed with unknown deeper meanings, foreshadowing that an unknown conversation was about to begin.

He didn't even let the anxious-looking father enter the door; he just stopped outside and talked to him.

Su Yu stood silently by the side, catching the urgency and helplessness in the other person's eyes from the corner of his eye, and secretly guessed in his heart that this person must have an ulterior motive in coming here.

When Uncle Li saw the door open, he moved closer curiously and tried to take a peek.

Jiang Xunzhong sensed his son's cold rejection, and his fingers unconsciously stroked his collar, trying to force a smile: "Your mother, um, your stepmother, her condition has suddenly worsened, I hope to ask your wife to go and see her."

Jiang Ziling's eyes flickered when he heard this. He glanced at Su Yu and said one word in a firm tone: "No."

"Zi Ling, just give me some face and let your wife... go and take a look."

Jiang Xunzhong's eyes were red, and his words were choked with sobs. He almost pleaded, "Just think of it as me begging you."

Before he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down, but Uncle Li quickly caught him.

"How can a father kneel down to his son? This is unlucky and will reduce the child's blessings!"

Uncle Li held Jiang Xunzhong firmly, turned to face Su Yu, and said earnestly: "Girl, I know you have a kind heart. Look outside the door, people are talking about your mother-in-law's condition. Although she is wrong, she is your elder after all. Go over and take a look. Whether you can cure her is another matter."

At this moment, an ox cart slowly drove into the village, carrying the faintly breathing Zhao. The news quickly spread throughout the village, and curious people were gathering in groups of two or three towards the Jiang family's yard.

Su Yu's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on the villagers who were whispering to each other, then looked back at Jiang Xunzhong. His eyes that were both expectant and helpless put her in a dilemma: she remembered Zhao's fault, but if she refused to treat her, she was afraid that the storm of public opinion would drown her.

Even if she tried her best and Zhao died in the end, people might still speculate that she deliberately did not try her best because of personal grudges.

She had long experienced the suspicion and darkness in people's hearts and knew how difficult it was to soothe them.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yu realized that no matter how reluctant she was, she had to step forward and save the scheming woman.

"Ah……"

Su Yu laughed at himself softly, his smile full of helplessness.

In life, no matter what situation you are in, there are always times when you have no control over yourself.

Since it is unavoidable, just take this opportunity to gain some tangible benefits for yourself, at least to make yourself feel a little better.

"I can heal her."

Su Yu finally spoke.

Jiang Xunzhong just showed a trace of relief on his face, but Su Yu changed the subject: "But I have my own conditions."

She has never been a person who is kind to evil people. Since she is forced to act against her will, the other party must pay the corresponding price and experience pain.

"What are the conditions? Tell me."

Jiang Xunzhong asked anxiously.

He was determined to save Zhao, and Su Yu in front of him was undoubtedly the only ray of hope.

For this reason, no matter what conditions Su Yu proposed, he would agree unconditionally.

Su Yu said slowly, "In the past, you only used this shabby little house as a partition to drive Jiang Ziling out of the family. He was alone at that time, and even though he had children later, he didn't feel crowded. However, today, with the increase in family members, the space seems increasingly cramped. Therefore, I hope to get the two adjacent rooms to the south, and the two vegetable plots behind the house."

"it is good."

Jiang Xunzhong agreed without any hesitation.

The land was originally purchased and expanded by Jiang Wangshan after he led Jiang Ziling to hunt for a living. The house was also built brick by brick by the father and his two sons. Jiang Ziling should have a share of it.

However, due to the numerous obstructions and interferences from the Zhao family, he, as the youngest in the family, could not make any decisions, and his heart was filled with helplessness and resentment.

Seeing that he answered without any hesitation, Su Yu's impression of this seemingly ordinary but resolute man changed a little.

The determination in his eyes seemed to tell her that this time, he was willing to stand up for the safety of his family, no matter what.

She said, "Okay, now that so many eyes are watching, I believe you won't dare to break your promise easily. I'll go check on Zhao's condition first. As for the signing of the document, you can prepare it later and leave it to Ziling to handle."

"Okay, okay, then let's go quickly without wasting a moment."

Jiang Xunzhong's tone was mixed with urgency and anticipation, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, afraid of missing any possible hope.

Su Yu turned around and nodded gently to Jiang Ziling, "I'll go check it out first."

There was an unquestionable firmness in her expression, which made Jiang Ziling feel an inexplicable sense of trust even though he had doubts in his heart.

Then she took a step forward, following Jiang Xunzhong's footsteps and moving forward together.

Jiang Ziling's eyes were filled with worry as he looked at the two people walking away.

He was confused as to why Su Yu was willing to intervene in Zhao's treatment, but at the same time he was also convinced that Su Yu must have his own considerations.

However, he was secretly worried that if Zhao's condition really reached the point where she had to be sent back home and could not be saved, even A Yu would not be able to turn the tide, which would probably lead to more criticism and blame.

At this moment, Uncle Li was about to follow closely to find out what was going on, but a fellow villager beside him pulled his arm and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, what's going on? How did Zhao suddenly become so seriously ill?"

Uncle Li sighed, his expression gloomy: "Ah, I am also confused. Xunzhong secretly found me last night and asked me to take Zhao to the town's medical clinic in a bullock cart. As a result, Zhao didn't get better after taking the medicine. This morning, the town's medical director bluntly told the family to prepare for the funeral."

"Is it that serious?" Everyone around was shocked after hearing this.

Uncle Li nodded solemnly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "That's right, now we can only pin our hopes on Ziling's wife, otherwise... the Jiang family will probably have to put on white gauze and usher in a sad funeral."

A woman in the crowd whispered, “We have all seen how the Zhao family treats Ziling’s family.
