On the side, Su Yu watched all this coldly.

There was not much emotion in her eyes. It seemed that what happened to Xie Xinghua was just a normal picture of the world that she had long seen through.

"Did you see it?"

Su Yu's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of sharpness, "Anger never disappears out of thin air. It only flows and finds the next more vulnerable target."

She paused for a moment, her eyes deep, and slowly uttered those two meaningful words: "Weak."

In her worldview, this world follows the law of the jungle, and the only thing she can rely on is her own strength.

Jiang Ziling listened silently at the side. Su Yu's words were like a key that unlocked the thoughts hidden deep in his heart.

His blind tolerance of Zhao over the years was not entirely a sign of weakness.

Instead, it is mixed with countless sighs and helplessness in the dead of night.

He began to reflect on whether the so-called filial piety was really worth it.

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and decided not to pay attention to the chaos outside, but instead focused on the messy room in front of him.

A surge of anger welled up in her heart, especially when she saw that Xier's few clothes were cruelly torn by Zhao.

Su Yu secretly thanked himself for returning in time, otherwise this family would probably be even more broken apart.

The damaged bedding made her feel even more heavy-hearted, and her original plan to buy new bedding for Jiang Ziling to sleep on the floor was also ruined.

Thinking of having to take turns squeezing in bed with Jiang Ziling in the future, Su Yu couldn't help but frown, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Despite this, at a certain moment, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jiang Ziling's handsome face, a ripple inexplicably arose in her heart.

His eyebrows and eyes are gentle and his nose is straight. Even in such a difficult situation, he reveals a unique tenacity and handsomeness.

An imperceptible smile involuntarily crossed Su Yu's face.

Several images flashed through her mind, causing her cheeks to heat slightly.

She shook her head violently, trying to dispel these inappropriate thoughts.

Just at this moment, Jiang Ziling's eyes met hers.

Catching the strange smile on her face, his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down, and he tentatively called out softly: "Ah, Ayu?"

This voice was filled with some hesitation and confusion.

Su Yu was awakened by the sudden call. He came to his senses abruptly and realized that he had lost his composure. He almost laughed out loud, with a hint of embarrassment still lingering at the corners of his mouth.

Her cheeks instantly flushed and she felt secretly annoyed.

Why would I have such random thoughts at this time! But at the same time, an inexplicable emotion was quietly growing in my heart.

"Cough cough."

She cleared her throat, trying to hide her inner panic, and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something else."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziling simply responded with an "Oh", but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: What on earth could have made A Yu fall into such deep thought that his eyes looked a little blurry?

He shook his head and laughed at himself, thinking that he was overthinking. How could A Yu have such messed up ideas?

After sorting out his thoughts, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what's the matter with your carriage? It doesn't look new. Does it have any special origin?"

Su Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He hesitated to speak, and a subtle look flashed in his eyes: "Oh, that! Uh..."

Her answer hung in the air, as if the story was about to begin a new chapter.

Su Yu looked hesitant and swallowed the words back, as if he was considering every word carefully.

She didn't want Jiang Ziling to worry about her, but she couldn't find a reasonable excuse to change the subject.

Finally, she chose a more everyday topic as a breakthrough, with a sly look in her eyes: "By the way, I remember that day when I asked Sister He to bring back a package, there was a herbal medicine for leg treatment that I bought specifically for you. How come I can't find any trace of it no matter how hard I searched?"

Jiang Ziling understood her intention, and a hint of tenderness and understanding flashed in his eyes.

Without asking further questions, he quietly bent down and pulled out a hidden wooden box from under the bed.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this and hid these precious things properly.

Otherwise, under the command of Zhao, who targeted them everywhere, these things would have been completely changed beyond recognition.

Su Yu took the wooden box and examined it carefully, and found that all the medicines were intact. He finally felt relieved.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then stared at Jiang Ziling with determination in her eyes: "Are you ready? I'm going to start treating your injured leg."

Su Yu originally thought that with Jiang Ziling's seemingly weak body, he would not be able to endure the severe pain during the treatment.

However, as she watched him work with such strength and muscle, she realized her worries were unnecessary.

In her eyes, the leg that looked a little thin due to lack of exercise for a long time became the hope of rebirth.

Jiang Ziling's deep eyes revealed trust and determination, and he nodded.

"Okay, then go and light the fire first. My stomach has already started to protest, and I need to fill it quickly so that I can have the strength to take good care of your leg injury."

Su Yu said half-jokingly.

Jiang Ziling smiled knowingly and was about to walk towards the stove when the little girl Xier beside him jumped forward swiftly.

A pair of small hands deftly picked up the scattered branches, looking willing to help others.

Jiang Ziling rubbed Xier's hair lovingly, his eyes full of love.

At the same time, Su Yu was busy indoors, trying to find something in this messy space.

Especially those wooden spoons and buckets that were still usable, she carefully arranged them one by one, hoping to make the best use of them.

The newly replaced bedding brought unexpected warmth and comfort to the old bed, and after some tidying up, this simple little house actually exuded a hint of warmth and novelty of life.

However, the space in this hut is too small. The stove and the bathtub are almost side by side, and many inconveniences in daily life are obvious.

Not to mention raising some poultry, even their beloved horses can only live temporarily under the roof of others.

Su Yu thought to himself that maybe they really needed to earn more money.

By moving to a more spacious residence, he could also stay away from those troublesome people in the Zhou family.

Just as this thought was circling in her mind, a voice called out from outside the door interrupted her thoughts. "Ziling's, is Ziling home?" The voice sounded a little strange, yet inexplicably familiar.

Su Yu responded and went out, only to see the old lady who had refused her ride standing outside the door.

Her appearance made Su Yu startled: "Are you... coming to see me?"

Seeing this, the old lady quickly explained: "Yes, I heard that you went home today, so I brought these things to thank you for saving my life that day."
