Su Yu was curious and asked quickly: "Oh? What happened today?"

After hearing this, Old Man Hong felt even more guilty, muttering to himself, "It's all because of me, an old man, who is useless. I actually... Alas!"

At this time, Su Shikuan on the side quickly interrupted to explain: "Dad, please don't blame Old Man Hong. In fact, the thing is... Old Man Hong himself has not yet healed from his injuries, and he almost got beaten just now."

"In that case, then tell me in detail what kind of situation you encountered." Su Yu said expressionlessly, and at the same time pulled over a chair and slowly sat down. He was ready to patiently listen to Su Shining and Su Shikuan talk about what happened today.

After a brief pause, Su Shining began to narrate what had happened: "This morning, Zhao Yi led a group of us to the Wangya people to look for a place to live. After some searching and bargaining, we finally found a suitable house. In the end, we only spent ten taels of silver to pawn it."

When Su Yu entered the house, he looked around the living room. Although the house was a little run-down, it could be renovated with a little care. What satisfied him most was that there were many rooms in the house, just enough to accommodate so many people. What was even more rare was that there was a well in the courtyard. In this way, the family members no longer had to go out to fetch water, which really saved them a lot of trouble.

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded slightly, indicating that he was satisfied with the price. Then, Su Shikuan continued to add: "Then everyone sorted out a little and rushed to the ruined temple to move the items. I thought we could move everything today, but who knew..."

At this point, Su Shikuan's voice couldn't help but lower, as if it was difficult to speak. Seeing this, Su Yu frowned and asked, "What happened? Tell me!"

Su Shikuan took a deep breath and continued, "Just when we were about to pack up, a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared from nowhere. Without saying a word, they rushed towards us. These people were wearing tattered clothes and holding sticks. They were obviously members of the Beggars' Sect. Not only did they beat and kick us, they also robbed us of a lot of our belongings..."

After listening to Su Shikuan's narration, Su Yu's face turned very ugly. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing in broad daylight, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

The other side was numerous and aggressive. Although Zhao Yi was present, they were clearly at a disadvantage and had almost no power to fight back! After all, Zhao Yi was too busy to do anything else. His first priority was to ensure the safety of Su Shining and Su Shikuan, and to try to protect the remaining two taels of silver in Hongdou and others' pockets in the chaos.

After taking Su Shining and Su Shikuan to a relatively safe place, Zhao Yi rushed into the battle and started beating the beggars violently, thus ending the melee.

However, Hongdou and his group were already penniless, and now it was even worse - the few broken pots and bowls they had picked up from outside were also destroyed. Si'er, Wu'er, Xiaoyu and Xiaodouzi were terrified and cried loudly; Hongdou, Daniu and Tiedan were so angry that they secretly shed tears; Granny Li was furious and kept cursing the ancestors of those people.

Only Granny Yan calmly comforted everyone and said, "Don't panic, just follow me. Let the lost things fly away with the wind! Now you all have something to do, so why worry about not being able to earn back those old porcelain bowls?" After that, everyone felt a little relieved, picked up their old clothes and a few simple wooden tools, and headed towards their new home. After arriving at the new house, several young children, who had recovered quickly, began to tidy up the house happily.

Zhao Yi paid for the resettlement expenses in advance, and he asked the children to save up enough money to return it to him in the future. Now that he was penniless, Zhao Yi invited everyone to go out and buy the necessary items. Since Father Hong stayed at home, Zhao Yi was more relieved about Su Shining and Su Shikuan who stayed behind to wait.

There was actually another hidden meaning behind Zhao Yi's decision to take everyone out of the house. He noticed that everyone had some injuries, so he took this opportunity to go to the clinic for treatment. After all, things had come to this point, so he thought he might as well be a good person to the end!

It was almost dusk when Zhao Yi led a group of people back home with a full load, each carrying large and small packages. When Zhao Yi saw Su Yu and his five sons waiting there, he was surprised and took the initiative to greet Su Yu, saying, "Son-in-law, you are here too."

"Well, have you purchased everything?" Su Yu asked.

Zhao had already put down the items in his hand and replied: "Basically, I have bought all the commonly used tools. If there are still needs in the future, you can always replenish them."

At this time, Granny Li beside her asked curiously: "Who is this?"

Daniu quickly explained: "This is Su Xiucai, Miss Su's father."

Then, Granny Li's trembling voice came from the yard: "Oh my, it's Mr. Su! Thank you so much! Look, this scholar is different from others..."

"No, no, thank you for the compliment." Unable to bear Granny Li's enthusiasm, Su Yu had to ask Zhao Yi, the most reliable person in the family. Zhao Yi understood and pointed to Granny Yan's direction. Su Yu understood instantly, and took out a tael of silver from his pocket, walked straight to Granny Yan, and handed it to Granny Yan.

However, to Su Yu's surprise, Granny Yan refused to accept the gift. She waved her hands, looking embarrassed, and said softly, "How can I do this? It's a great favor for you to help us move. How can I let you spend money?"

Su Yu smiled slightly and responded earnestly, "Today is the day when your family relocates to a new house. If we come here empty-handed, wouldn't it be rude? Besides, the children are still young and growing up. Even if they do some work every day, they have to fill their stomachs first! So, please accept these silver coins and use them to buy some food for the children."

Perhaps she was deeply moved by Su Yu's words, or perhaps she was too embarrassed to continue to refuse, Granny Yan finally couldn't resist Su Yu's insistence and happily accepted the silver. During this period, she kept repeating words of gratitude to Su Yu.

Su Yu shouted loudly: "An An, go and call our brothers and sisters over, we are going home." "Got it!" Su Shian responded readily, and quickly ran to find Su Shining, Su Shikuan, and Su Shirong, who were helping to pack things, and took them with Su Yu on the journey home.
