After saying this, Su Yu turned and left, leaving the two elders looking at each other in silence in the courtyard, their hearts filled with emotion and reluctance.

Once upon a time, Su Yu felt guilty for taking some of Li Bo's money. Witnessing the hardships of the two elders' lives and the fact that they had no children to take care of them, he decided to give them care and warmth with his meager strength.

And now, in order to protect Su Yu's reputation, Li's aunt Zhao Qiaozhi even did not hesitate to argue with Zhao. This kindness left a deep impression on Su Yu's heart, and she vowed to repay it.

Not long after, Zhao Qiaozhi whispered to herself, her tone full of emotion: "She is such a kind-hearted person..."

Old Li sighed, with a look of emotion in his eyes: "Hey! This girl is really helping us. She definitely didn't take the money for no reason."

These words were like a slap in Zhao Qiaozhi's heart, making her feel ashamed of her own prejudice.

Most of the misunderstandings in the past were caused by that small amount of silver. She had made many sarcastic remarks, trying to gain the upper hand in this battlefield of words. However, she did not know that although the young girl did not fight back verbally, her actions showed great sincerity and thoughtfulness.

First, he sent us wild game and cooked delicious meals himself, and today he brought us much-needed medicine and food.

Alas! Even one's own flesh and blood may not be able to be so attentive and considerate.

Su Yu slowly walked towards the ancient banyan tree at the entrance of the village. He saw Zhao leaning against the tree and taking a rest from afar, so he walked forward to find out what was going on.

"Oh, I heard that you did so many evil things that even God couldn't stand it anymore, so that's why you fell like this. It seems that those rumors were not groundless."

Upon hearing this, Zhao glared at Su Yu fiercely, then closed her eyes, as if she wanted to use this moment of tranquility to relieve the pain in her body.

Did she fall?

Zhao's heart was filled with confusion, and the fragments of the conflict in his memory were vague, as if they had never happened.

She was feeling dizzy at the moment, otherwise she would not have let Su Yu laugh at her.

Su Yu smiled coldly, without even looking at his former rival, he turned and left.

From the conversation just now, it can be seen that Zhao seems to have really forgotten about being beaten. This is a good thing, so that things will not become more complicated.

Quickening his pace towards home, Su Yu met Jiang Xunzhong on the road. He was carrying a large basket on his back, and was obviously going to pick up Zhao.

But Da Zhuang was nowhere to be seen and no one knew where he had gone.

Jiang Xunzhong secretly glanced at Su Yu several times, with doubt in his eyes.

Logically speaking, since Zhao had already taken action against Aunt Li, the two sides should not reconcile so easily.

In addition, Su Yu's appearance in the Li family at this time must have some unknown hidden story.

He realized that if he wanted to uncover the truth, he had to delve deeper and not just judge based on superficial phenomena.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of his own home, which was full of traces of time, Su Yu's eyes were attracted by a warm and peculiar picture - Da Zhuang, who usually loved to cry and make a fuss, was grinning in Xie Xinghua's arms. That smile was like a spring breeze in winter, instantly melting all the coldness around him.

"Just throw the child to you and disappear?"

Su Yu asked in a half-joking tone as he walked over, with a hint of confusion and amusement in his tone.

As everyone knows, Xie Xinghua is a person who likes to live in seclusion. If it is not absolutely necessary, she will never easily get involved in trouble. Especially in matters like taking care of Zhou family's beloved Da Zhuang, if she is not careful, she will attract Zhao's scolding like a summer rainstorm, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

"What else?"

Xie Xinghua smiled bitterly, her face full of helplessness.

She was busy washing clothes, but she didn't expect Jiang Xunzhong to hurriedly stuff Dazhuang into her arms, say "I'll be back soon" and leave without looking back. It seemed that he had no better choice than to do this.

After all, how could you leave an innocent child alone on the cold ground without doing anything? Su Yu sighed softly and slowly unfolded the twists and turns of today's encounter. There was both imperceptible fatigue and a touch of perseverance in his voice.

After Xie Xinghua heard this, she was stunned for a moment, as if she was struck by this sudden news, but soon, a complex expression of relief and joy appeared on her face: "It's what she deserves! That outspoken evil woman finally got the retribution she deserved."

During this period of time, Xie Xinghua was unable to completely avoid the various gossips circulating in the village even though she stayed indoors. Many kind-hearted villagers came to her house to ask about her affairs, which made her feel mixed emotions and unable to calm down.

Especially those rumors that Zhao spread about Su Yu, and the malicious claim that Daya from Xie Xinghua's family had been sold into prostitution. How could anyone feel calm with such vicious words?

During the conversation, the topic turned to plans for tomorrow's market.

Su Yu's eyes sparkled with anticipation and determination. She suggested, "At dawn tomorrow morning, we have to go up the mountain to collect the freshest wild fruits. At noon, we will take them to the town and see if we can find a good price to sell them. What do you think?"

This is not just a simple business consideration, but also a positive attitude towards life and an infinite vision for the future.

"no problem."

Xie Xinghua smiled brightly and agreed readily.

The last experience of going into the mountains with Su Yu greatly reduced her fear of Yunqiu Mountain. More importantly, those naturally grown fruits could be converted into silver to sustain life, which made her excitement and anticipation grow like wildfire.

At this time, Da Zhuang in Xie Xinghua's arms was sucking his fingers. His little face was obviously thinner than before, perhaps because he had been weaned recently.

Seeing this, Su Yu showed concern between his brows: "He looks like he is hungry."

Xie Xinghua responded casually, her eyes falling gently on her son: "If he's hungry, let him bear it for a while, I'll coax him for the time being. Do you really want me to prepare food anytime and anywhere?"

After saying that, Su Yu walked into the newly renovated kitchen in Xie Xinghua's house.

The space is spacious and bright, and the kitchen utensils are arranged in an orderly manner. Every detail reveals the designer's care and ingenuity, which makes Su Yu sigh at Wang Dayong's craftsmanship and his dedication to his family.

It was a scorching summer day, and Su Yu quickly prepared several side dishes to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Because there was no meat, she fried a golden-brown, soft-fried egg for everyone as compensation. She planned to have the still warm buns as dinner, and then buy some meat from the market tomorrow to replenish her body.

Although the dishes on the table were simple, they were quickly filled up.

Just as they were about to eat, Xie Xinghua's loud scolding suddenly came from outside the door.

Su Yu immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurried out to check.

Xie Xinghua straightened her back and faced Jiang Xunzhong who was carrying Da Zhuang back. She said in a stern and unquestionable voice, "What does her illness have to do with me? Why should I cook for your whole family? Have you forgotten how you treated me before? How can you still say such a thing!"

Every word was like a heavy hammer falling on a stone slab, demonstrating her unyielding determination and dignity that could not be trampled upon.
